Readers.

How can rid my fields Of the ox-eye daisy?-
Young Farmer, Pa.
Ans. By moving them down before the seed
is ripe. IL they have taken possession of a
grass field, it would be best TO plow it and give
it rotation Of crops for two or three years be-
fore again sowing it in grass.
Is the Indian corn a tropical plants We have
had discussion on 1t In Grange, without COM
ing 10 an agreement.-An Ohio Granger.
Ans. Indian corn is a native of South America,
and is so far tropical plant. 1t requires a
tropical summer to ripen i'll, and although it is
cultivated in quite northern localities yet these
localities have temperature during the season
of growth which is equivalent to that in most
tropical regions.
notice that bagging grapes improves-at least
II Is so stated-the color and richness of the fruit,
ss Well as protecting II from rot and insects. Do
you think that it would similarly improve the
watermelon and cucumber?--mdex, Delaware.
Ans Perhaps So It has been found that
bagged tomatoes are more highly colored and
possess less acidity than those not covered. al
though il did not prevent them from rotting.
What effect would be produced on the melon
can only be found by experiment. Really, it
would be worth trying
i wish to ask you what is good to give n COW
that gives bloody milk and what is it that causes
itf You viii greatly oblige me by answering this
in THE NATIONAL TRIBuNE--Garden City, Kan
Ans. We are authorized TO state that bloody
milk is caused by Inflammation or congestion
Of certain parts of the udder. AS rule, the
best treatment Ia to give salts in pound doses
until the bowels are freely moved. Then give
an ounce of saltpetre morning and night for
three or four days. AS the congestion may be
induced by acrid plants in the pastures, it may
be necessary to put the animal in different
fields before cure is effected.
