ever, if this work is not persisted in,
and no cultivation is given after the
middle of July. enormous numbers of
thistle will soon appear and produce
great guam titles of seed.
Summer fallow is also recommended,
and if cultivation is given frequently
so that no thistles will mature, this
plan will probably be of value: how
ever. it will take as much labor to
keep the fallow free from weeds as it
would to cultivate the crop. This crop
would not pay for the work of cultiva-
ton, hence summer fallow is not to be
recommended. 1t would be better, if a
cultivated crop is not desired, to sow
the land to clover, peas. 1upines, ETC.,
and pillow under two or three times
during the season. This will greatly
enrich the land as well as kill out the
thistle.
Sheep are very fond of the Russian
thistle while it is yet tender and by
pasturing them on the young plants
they may be kept down. Along road
sides where the pest cannot be held in
check by cultivation, a road machine
may be used to good advantage. Set
the scraper so it will take off a thin
strip of earth and throw the weeds in
the middle of the road. A single trip
each way would be sufficient to reach
all weeds on each side of the track. If
a heavy roller is then run over the
road the work is made still more eff
fective; the thistle may be kept down
on fire guards by narrowing. Public
lands. Sand hills and scattered weed
patches are prolific sources of propa-
CATION.
Railroads, which have been one of
the chief means in distributing the
Russian thistle, have done we'll in
keeping their rights of way clean.
However, the surrounding country is
usually SO thickly infested that they
have met with little success. Planting
trees, building fences and other meth
DDS of preventing the rolling of the
thistle may be of aid in its destruc-
ton. but all these means must be
employed if complete subjugation is
to be accomplished. The Importance
of securing clean grain cannot be too
strongly emphasized. AS the seed of
the thistle is very light, there is no
trouble in separating it from that of
heavier grain seed, as wheat, rye, bar
ley, oats, flax, timothy, clover, etc.
However. with millet and the lighter
grass seeds it is more difficult to man
age, but even in this case properly
adjusted tanning mill will usually take
it out

NOTES ABOUT HORSES.

DRIVE slowly through sandy or
muddy places or on rising ground.
A LITTLE whitewash is excellent for
cleansing and purifying the stable.
TRoTTING sports are steadily gaining
in popularity in Great Britain and
Ireland.
WHEN training the colt do not forget
to teach him the art of standing after
being hitched.
THE champion trotting record OF
England is 2:24$4, made last season by
the American trotter Rowley.
AN excellent sign for the future is
the fact that more attention is being
given to the development of driving
qualities in the road horse.
HORSES in training should be fed
regularly. and the quantity of food
should be proportioned to the work
and digestion of each animal.

The White Shawl

The white shawl may be the prettiest
wrap at early morn and dewy eve in
the happy summer time. or it may be
the most detected article ever donned.
1t can not be worn very long before it
needs cleansing. Now everything de-
ponds on this process whether the
shawl is ever presentable again. So
much care must be expended on the
washing First make fair suds be-
forehand, rub no soap on the shawl.
rinse in clear warm water, with two
changes if you please; then take solu-
ton of gum ara bic, and add to it warm
water till you think it will produce a
little stiffness like starch when dry.
Press with a moderately hot iron, be-
fore quite dry, laying a clean cotton or
linen cloth between the iron and shawl.

THE ELECTRIC CURRENT.

ELECTRICITY is to be used in the for
ests of Washington state to cut down
trees.
1T is proposed to use the light cleo
trio trolley roads to enable the farmer
to send his produce to market.
THE electric launch is growing in pep
ularity. Milwaukee, Rochester, Bos-
ton and other cities are soon to have
large fleets
THERE are fourteen hundred tele-
phone exchanges in the United States,
employing ten thousand persons, and
furnishing service to nearly two hun
dred and fifty thousand subscribers.
An electric log has been tried with
excellent results. An electric bell is
struck every twenty-four revolutions of
the mill wheels or vanes. By timing
the interval between two strokes of
the bell the speed of the ship is OBJ
tanned.

Lace is the popular trimming of the
hour. but it is not the plain, ordinary
lace of other seasons. This year the
outline is family seen through shower
of crystals or it reflects myriad of
colors by means of iridescent sequins.
Guipure and the Point d'Argentan and
other coarse cream laces have the de-
sign wrought with gay sequins or
beads. A deep flounce of this lace will
finish the skirt of gown, while mar
row bands of insertion trim the bodice
and form deep cuffs. Guipure outlined
with tiny steel beads also makes an eff
fectiye trimming, particularly upon a
gown of gray peau de sole. A black

ANYHOW, women do sit straight on

AS SOON as a man discovers that he
cannot reform himself he begins on the

YoUNG married people always have a
hammock hanging up in their yard
which they never use.
A NAN never grows more eloquent
about hard times than when he talks
about them to his wife.
WHEN man begins to tell woman
all his troubles and grievances, that is
his way of showing that he cares for
her.
THE men would look pretty with lace

would be a great saving in laundry

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
THE RUSSIAN THlsTLE.

During It's Growing Season the Pest Is
Easily Destroyed.
The plant is an annual and is easily
killed at any time during the growing
season. 1t produces no seed before
the middle of August or the first of
September. and the seed is short lived
For any methods to be available, two
principles must be adhered to rigidly:
First, no Russian thistle must be
allowed to produce seed: second, there
must be concerted action throughout
the infested territory. Among some of
the measures that may be tried are
the following:
Sow wheat and other spring crops
as early as possible on well-prepared
ground SO that the crop may get a
vigorous growth and shade the ground
before the weed seeds terminate.
Cut the wheat early and pillow the land
as soon as possible afterward. If the
land cannot be plowed. NOW the
stubble before the seeds mature. Let
it dry few day, then burn thorough
ly. For crops like corn, potatoes,
beets, etc, cultivate thoroughly and
as late as possible: the extra cultiva-
ton will produce better crop and get
rid of the weeds. This same is true of
gardens, truck patches, etc. How
