roots two inches or more in length.
These roots, If numerous, double the
labor required to destroy them, COM

the steel rake and the slant harrow will
do good work with them.
Fig. 3 represents the weeds still more
reduced in size, half a month later,
when they have reached height of six
inches Or foot. The crop has already
suffered largely from their crowding and
shade, and the labor required for them
was at hast ten times as groat az for
those in Fig. 2, and about twenty times
as great as in Fig. 1. This difference
has been tested by actual experiment.
Two given areas of soil were measured
off for prompt raking, and another equal
area assigned for the six-inch weeds,
and the time required measured by the
watch. Two square yards were hand
somely and thoroughly dressed with a
steel rake in twenty seconds by the
mode represented in Fig. L; and one
square yard in forty seconds according
to Fig. 2. The work was repeated

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

THE following swine notes we repub.
lish from the columns of the Nebraska
Farmer:
JUST what plan the pig-grower shall
follow must be determ ined by his loca'
ton, the kind of food at command and
the distance from market; but it is al
ways safe plan to get them on the
market as soon as possible.
THE man who believes the "swill
pail" to be the best breed is in error, as
we'll as the man who depends entirely
on the fine quality of blood to make his
hogs fine. Better combine the two
fine blood and the swill pail.
THE SOW that will not thrive we'll on
good grass when not sucking pigs is not
good one, and the farmer who will re-
tain such one when better ones are
SO abundant deserves i'll success in his
efforts at pig-breeding.
THE man who brings fall pigs to grass
weighing only about 100 pounds should
draw heavy line across this part of his
farm operations and abandon it entirely
till he can adopt more rational and
profitable system of feeding.
WHEN grass is acknowledged as king
and treated as such in our pig growing
operations we will have pork produced
at cheaper rate and of finer quality.
The cost of labor in the production of a
crop of grass is merely nominal as com.
pared with that of crop of grain.

been stirred for planting; but within a
week 1t should be stirred again to kill
the young sproutlng weeds. With small,
tender plants, the small harrow or
cultiyator may be passed between the
rows Of field crops; with large, strong.
rooted plants, like corn, the slant-tooth
harrow may be passed over the whole
broadcast, pulverizing and destroying
the small, sprouting weeds, but doing
no harm to the strong corn plants,
whether before or after they have
reached the light. In the gardens the
steel rake may do the same work in the
4 narrow bod as the horse harrow per.
forms in the field.
The accompanying figures will serve
to explain our meaning. Fig. repre-
sents o crop of weeds, sprouting, and
ready to come up, during the first week
after the soil has been stirred. If the
weather is warm and the soil moist,
they will often sprout an inch in four
or Ave days, and then is the time to
pulverize finely an inch or two of the
whole surface of the soil. In doing 1t
every weed is broken, crumbled and
destroyed. A double benefit results
from It, in the breaking Of the earth and
giving to the coming crop mellow sur

Every year we have complaints-ge
orally from amateurs--aboutt the trouble
of growing cucumbers. The bugs de-
stroy them, and tho growers give up
the battle. There is just one complete
easy way of growing cucumbers, and
the Rural has several times stated it.
1t is to plant late. II the seed Is planted
about the 9Th of June the vines will not
likely be disturbed If planted about
the 10th, they certainly will not be.
Unless cucumbers are grown for the
market, and it is desirable to get them
IN as early as possible, this late
planting is just as good as earlier plant
Ing. Planted about the 5th of June the
cucumbers will begin to form by the
middle OF July, and we get rid of all the
trouble and anxiety about the destruc-
hon Of the vines. As all very we'll
know several remedies have been REQ
emmended to prevent insect depreda-
Non upon the vines but none Of them
ers sbsolutely suss.--Wsstsra Rural.
