Thinks England Won't Fight.
Inquiry at the Capitol revealed the fact
that in its present shape and under pres
ent conditions the treaty will hardly be
ratified. Said one senator: Il am in
favor of Ca ling England's bluff. She
won't fight, and am not in favor of ask
ing her TO arbitrate as to a right claimed
by us which she has been and is persist
emily violating. There is no excuse for

The RYDER ROAD.
A Buckeye Lesson. Trite, But Always
Timely and Important.

a oucRcyo LESSON, Trlte, But Always
Timely and Important.
In Portage county. Ohio, is q long,
beautiful street known as the RYDER
road. 1t is the pride of the county.
No weeds nor rubbish are allowed in
its neat borders, shaded by handsome
naples; no untidv farms blot its vicin-
ity, but farms broad and goodly to the
sight, bearing luxuriant crops, spread
out on either side through it's whole
length. All this has been accomplished
by persistent and united energy of the
neighboriDg farmers. Good roads and
tidy farms, wherever found, are sure
evidence of thrift and intelligence. If
the women folks should allow rubbish
to accumulate in the corners of the
rooms they would deservedly gain the
name of slovenly housekeepers; so, too,
should the farmer be dubbed slovenly
who permits weeds along his fences
and roadsides. Moreover. he neglects
the golden rule. for weeds are travel
ers. having many ways to reach neigh
bors' premises. 1t is the nature of
weeds, when undisturbed, to multiply
their species amazingly. A single plant
of moth MULLEN bore in one season
ninety.one seedpods; the seeds from
three of these pods, carefully counted,
numbered 800. If only half the seeds
from this plant had grown, how
much labor would have been re-
quircd to destroy one years increases;
while that OF successive years would be
beyond compute. Even now it Is not
too late 10 begin warfare against
weeds. II Immediately after rain or
whiting frost the stalks are cleared up
and burned from roadsides, fence lines
and gardens, millions of seeds may be
destroyed; then II the ground is turned
over with the pillow to the winter frosts
most OF the roots will be killed. A
thorough narrowing in spring and an
other In midsummer would put an end
To roots that may have withstood the
winter and also to Seeding weeds.
THIS severe treatment is for perennials
OF long standing or that sucker. An
nuala and some perennials may be
killed out In time and by persistent
close cutting, as plants cannot flourish
without leaves, and are soon exhaust
ed by being forced to send out new TO
liagc. Bear in mind that a good work
begun is more than half done. Do not
wait till bushes and briers add difficult
ties to the work of determination, and
do not depend upon example alone to
make your neighbors see the error of
their ways. Start farmers club and
make war against weeds condition of
membership. Thus you may gain CO.
operation and greatly lesson the dam
ger of unwelcome tenants from your
neighbors' surplus. Mrs. ]. NJ. MILL

The Profit In Ashes.

Ashes used as a fertilizer are gen.
orally very profitable. They supply
potash to stimulate the nerves of the
growing plants and are thus true ma
nure. In contact with clay soil they
iiberatc the phosphate of lime, with
manure they hasten decomposition. IL
does not pay farmer to produce less
on his land than it is capable of pro-
ducing. A large crop exhansts its fer
tility more than small one but the
cost of harvesting the large one is very
little more than il costs to harvest n
small crop. Part of the profits from
the larger crop can be used in restoring
the fertility of the land. 1t Is only
when there is profit from crops To re-
store fertility that failure In farming
can he averted. To get immediate re-
turns, potash is necessary in some
form. and. if properly used. IL will en-
able the farmer 10 have Il succc ssion OF
large crops, thereby leaving him profit
able returns, a part of which can be
used in restoring the soil. With small
crops and no returns, the end Is fail
ure, and ashes help To supply "A strong
aud quick growth.-N. l.. Homestead.

Earthenware vessels easily become
broken in winter, especially if left out

substitutes at this season; but they

POULTRY PiCKINGS.

FROM now on until spring early and
late feeding should be the rule.
ARRANGE convenient drinking ves-
sells for the fowls during the winter.
IT is important to have the floor of
the duck and geese quarters dry in
winter.
By watching for the first appearance
of cold and curing it roup may be
prevented.
DRESSED poultry should always be
thoroughly cooled out before packing
for market.
ONE of the best ways of securing dry
ness under foot is by using dry earth
ON the floor.
For swelled head wash clean with
warm water and then anoint the whole
head with glycerine.
WHEN the fowls must stay in the
house scatter the grains among straw
or litter to give them exercise.
CONSIDERABLE care must be taken to
prevent the eggs from getting chilled
il they are to be Matched in an incu-
tator.
IF plenty Of clover is given there will
be much less necessity for supplying
lime. as there is considerable lime in
the composition of clover.
WHILE less range is needed during
the winter than in summer at the
same tune it is usually best TO give the
fowls every opportunity to exercise.
BY using crude carbolic acid freely
lice may be effectually cleaned out of
the quarters, as they cannot thrive
where this is used freely. st. Louis Re-
