ABOUT CORN Cookie.

Damaging Weed Among Wheat and
Rye and How to Destroy 1t.
Csckle or corn cookie (Lychnis githa-
go) is very troublesome weed when
1t becomes mixed with wheat or rye,
as the seed is so near the size of the
wheat and rye grains as to make it very
difficult to screen it out, and if left in
it seriously Injuries the quality of the
flour made from the grain containing
it Cookie belongs to the same family
as the pink and sweet William. 1t is
native of Europe from which it has
been introduced and scattered through
out all wheat and rye-growing- Sec
tons The plant is from two to four feet
high, sparingly branched above. The
leaves are three to Eve inches long,
less than half an inch wide and gradu-
ally taper to point They are thick,
the edges entire. and the surface, like
that of the rest of the plant, is covered
with fine soft hairs They grow in single
pairs at the base of each branch and
opposite each other. The branches are
slender, naked and terminated by
flowers of reddish-purple color from
to 21< inches long when expanded.
The seed-pod is oblong and roundish,
and is filed with numerous dark-pur-
pie seeds. Millers consider cookie
much more damaging than chess, as
the latter is light and can readily be
screened out, while cookie is nearly as

FOR HOME CONSUMPTION.
Implements Necessary for Making Cheese
on Small Scale.

Implements Necessary for Making Cheese
on Small Scale.
For the manufacture of cheese on a
small scale are required a cheese hoop
about ten inches in diameter with a
follower, new washtub and press.
The milk should be taken perfectly
fresh from the cow, and strained
through a cloth into the cheese tub.
AS gallon of milk will make one
pound of cheese, the precise quantity
used at time should be noted. Part
of it should be warmed so that the
temperature of the whole, when in the
tub, shall be raised to eighty-three
degrees Fahrenheit The rennet,
Thoroughly cleaned and prepared,
should be then added, enough being
used to produce curdling in about
forty minutes. AS soon as the curd
will break smoothly, it should be cut
with curd-knives into squares, and
then allowed to stand until all the
whey runs off. Part of this whey is
then heated, the mass of curd is lifted
and broken into minute pieces, and
warm whey is added until the tempera-
ture of the whole is raised to ninety
eight degrees Fahrenheit When cool
this operation is repeated until the
curd becomes crumbly, easily falling
TO pieces when pressed in the hand.
The whey is then all drained off. and
the curd put into the cooler and cut up
with curd knives. When the tempera-
ture has fallen somewhat. it is turned
over and left until it assumes a fiaky
condition. When nearly dry, salt is
added, and the whole is mixed thor
oughly with a curd mill, 1t is then put
into the bandage inside of the hoop, and
is put on the press After remaining
there from two to four hours it should
be taken out and turned. The next day
it may be taken out from the press and
put on a shelf to cure. While curing it
should be watched closely to keep all
flies from it; should be rubbed over
daily with warm melted butter anc
daily turned. 1t is fit for use from six
to eight weeks after it is pressed. In

POTATO CULTIVATION.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Rs
ing Tubers Under Straw.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Rails
ing Tubers Under Straw.
The plan is a good one in dry or
ioamy soil, especially in dry season,
but in wet soil it is liable to prove a
failure. The soil should be prepared
in as good filth as possible, blowing
deep and working fine with the harrow.
1t is essential with all root crops to
have the soil stirred deep and worked
into good filth. Mark out the burrows
very shallow, as a very light covering
of soil should be given. Make them as
close together as they can well be run
with the plow; as no cultivation is to be
given it is waste of land, work and
feet apart; one and half is still bet
ter, and then have the hills one foot
apart in the rows.
AS to the seed there is considerable
difference of opinion. Some prefer to
cut to single eyes and then drop two
cuts in each hill; others prefer to cut two
of these eyes and drop only one cut in
each place; while again, others prefer
to select out medium sized tubers and
plant whole, and after they come up to
thin out to not more than three vines
to each hill. Others again pick out all
the small potatoes and plant them as
they are. There is no advantage in cut
ting day nor an hour before planting
only to save time. If the potatoes are
cut it will be little better to place the
cut side down in the dropping. Cover
with soil and step On the hill after
covering, in order to have the soil and
tubers come in close contact Cover
with wheat straw. When fresh laid on
it should average eight inches deep,
but it will settle considerably, as
mulch that deep would rot the potatoes
before they would terminate. Always
use wheat straw; oat straw usually
contains too many seeds that will
terminate and often form a mat
through which the potato plants can
not force their way. In loose. loamy
soil or in localities subject to drought
the plan is good one,-St Louis Re-
public.

GROWING FINE WOOL
Only Animals That Have Uniformly Good
Health Produce It.

Health Produce It.
Even during an excessive demand for
wool the finer grades generally in
crease in value more than the COM
moner grades, and in times of depres-
sion the finer grades are always the
most profitable. The commoner grades
can easily be made by many inexperi-
enced sheep growers, and as the de-
mand for wool increases thousands will
go into the business of supplying the
busy looms with this product, and, in
stead of being pushed out of their busi-
ness by the newcomers in it, the old
veterans at wool growing should de-
vote their experience and skill in pro-
ddcing the very finest grade of the raw
product. This is the legitimate gain
and profit which must be due them for
their study and labor.
The finer grades of raw wool should
have fine staple, with a fiber that is
fine, but not silky. If this fiber is
evenly developed, so that it can stand
equal tension all over, it can be ciassed
as finest grade. Very few of our sheep
have such fine wool, not even amonE
the very best breeds. The secret of it
is in the care of the animals more than
in the blood or breed.
Such wool is only found on animals
that have uniformly good health, and
which are not suffering from any skin
diseases. If the health is poor the
wool will be unevenly developed A
weakened growth OF fleece will follow
where neglect of proper feed is shown;
where lack of water or exposure to in.
clement weather is allowed Animals
that have to use up animal heat to re.
sist the cold which strikes in from wet
frozen fleece, or very cold weather, can.
not give the same amount of growth to
the wool The wool has to suffer to
keep the internal organs in condition.
Good stock and health count to begin
with, but these alone cannot be de
pended upon to produce high-grade
wool. Sheep that are not adapted to
the climate and country may also fail
to produce high-grade wool for this
reason alone, and it is important that
the proper breed should be selected.
1t is well to remember that the wool
depends upon the good health of the
animal for its growth, the same as the
plants depend upon good soil for the
developments and maturity. -American
