Wild or Prickly Lettuce

A late Illinois bulletin saws.
A plant which promises to become a
very serious weed pest in Illinois is
already we'll established in different
parts of the state. AS it spreads with
unusual rtpidity, it is especially i'm.
portant that the plants now growing
should be destroyed, at least that they
should be prevented from maturing
seeds. These are produced in great
numbers and are readily carried by
the wind. This plant is the wild or
prickly lettuce (Lactuca Scariola), a
vigorous growing plant, having a
single stem from one to as much as
four or more feet high. This stem
has many leaves, usually six inches or
more long, perhaps one and half
inches wide, with irregular edges
and prickles on the edges and
on the midrib. The color Of the leaves
is rather light green. The plant has
small yellow flowers which appear in
July or August. The writer has never
known a weed to increase SO rapidly
or to thrive more vigorously than does
this in the vicinity of Champaign. 1t
grows vigorously in compact blue grass
sod, in cultivated fields, along road
sides, and in shaded or exposed situa-
tions 1t is not a perennial and does not
spread from the roots. Cutting the
plant at or near tie surface will some.
times destroy it. Cutting them twice
or three times will prevent the matur-
ing OF the seed. There is always dan
ger that some plants will be missed
or that few may send up seed stalks
after even second cutting Wher-
ever it can be done the plant should
be pulled or dug up, or the ground
plowed, Cutting close to the ground
with hoe will usually be effective;
moving, unless repeated, is much less
certainly effective. Farm animals
will sometimes eat the young plants.
In localities where the plant is still
rare its spread can be prevented with
little effort In many localities only
concerted action by farmers, road
commissioners, and holders Of village
lots will prevent Still further spread
of what has already been serious
trouble. In any case it may con-
fdently be expected that the time,
effort and money required to get rid
of the weed will be many fold greater
next year than this, if this years crop
of seed is allowed to come to maturity,
This lettuce, like many of our worst
weeds, has been introduced from
Europe. The writer has not heard of
its having been noticed in any con.
siderable quantity at any place in
Illinois until within tho last three or
four years.

Our Australian Competitors.

This high sailing and coloring OF

You do not know how they object to

Ninety per cent of the table butter

REGULAR FEEDING.

Another thing ] have learned is thai
it pays to feed the hens regularly
every day through the summer even
though they are not confined, but
have the range of the farm. I have
done this and my hens have paid a
large profit, while some of my neigh
bors who depended upon their hens
foraGing for living have not been
able to get from fifty hens enough
eggs for family use, while from 100
hens l have sold in the last ninety
days eggs to the amount of S2l. IS, and
| all at lower price than has prevailed
for many years, the average being less
than II cents dozen. During this

eggs in the family and Matched $50

The cost OF keeping these fowls for
the three months has been IS. as we
have fed one ton of wheat screenings

of cracked cora for little chickens,

gathered from four acres OF orchard

we have fence or 6 feet high made

Possibilities OF Sub-IrrigatiOn.

IA their report on sub-rrigation ex-
periments the professors at the Ohio
station say: The first attempt was

,ntil now about one-ffth of an acre

This experiment to final demonstra-
ton. 1t has been found that the let
snce rot may DE largely controlled in
his manner, but by far the greatest
benefit arises from the greatly accel-
Grated growth of the plants. BY this
method of watering, a lettuce crop
comes to maturity from one to
two weeks earlier than by the old
method, and the crop is increased so
to 100 per cent Radishes respond in
like degree and cucumb ers to nearly

Violets and roses have not been fully

form supply OF moisture afforded by
sub-irrigation. 1t is too early TO give
results in detail but it will repay
interested parties to come a long
distance to see the plan in full
operation. The method is very SIM
pie and easily followed by any one, as it
does not necessarily involve much out
lay. The floor Of the benches must be
made water tight and an old bench,
in q fair state of preservation, mr be
remodeled for the work by simply

them for any other purpose, they make

SECURING FERTILE EGGS,

|
have learned this year by losing
experience that one must not have too
many hens to cock Last year | had
seventy hens and three cocks and
nearly every egg was fertile, and this
year started with rs hens to three
cocks and but 60 per cent of the eggs
were fertile. ! conclude that from
twenty to twenty five hens to each
vigorous cock is the best number and
another year shall not make the
blunder ] did this. manage my Sit
ting hens better now than formerly. I

cry the day am to let them out, and
then open the door about shutdown,
and they will forage until it begins to
get dark and then go on to the roost

SETTING TIE HENS.
! formerly recommended setting the
hens in the poultry house in rows OF
nests provided, and arranging to shut
them in and then have regular time
to take them off and feed them, but
while the theory is good it will not
work in practice, and lost hundreds
Of eggs in finding it out. l have had
excellent success this season by re-
moving the hens to rooms prepared
for them, and setting number at
once. Four hens may be set in
room five feet square, one in each
corner, and set six in room 5xs. 1t
should be made with door swinging
outward and weight to keep it
closed, so that when you step inside
the hens can not get out. Let your
hens sit two or three days without
eggs on their own nests, and remove
them to the sitting room after dark.
Keep fresh water and food, gravel,
and dust bath in the room, and let
the hens take care of themselves
TEST THE EGGS.
One week after they are set test the
eggs and remove all unfertile ones. A
very convenient and excellent tester
can be made by getting box of thin
