WEEDS ON THE FARM.

The annual expenditure for labor in
Keeping down weeds on the farm is a
large Item, but there should really be
no weeds, says the New York World.
A large number are destroyed by cul-
tlvatlon of crops, and a persistent war
fare is waged against them, but in
most eases the work of destruction il
not thorough, as q sufficient number
of weeds escape to reseed the land for
the next years crop. The repug-
nance of most farmers to using the
hoe, depending on horse cultivation
entirely. is responsible to great ex-
cent for the presence OF weeds, but
even when the harrow and cultivator
ire used the work is not as frequent a:
nay be necessary.
There are a great many kinds
IF weeds, and they come UP
At different times. Work must
be applied so as to do the
most damage to the weeds at the least
cost, and this means not only to begin
on the weeds early but often. The
work is performed to the best advan.
tage when the weeds are just coming
through the ground. as a slight
scratching OF the soil will then be
more effective than the cultivator or
pillow later III the season. As soon az
the seeds terminate they should be
destroyed.
Every weed that grows robs the
crop of nourishment and moisture.
During period of draught weeds can
bring to the surface and evaporate rs
much moisture as other plants, being
verltable pumps, which take moisture
from the soil, and the larger they are
permitted to become the greater the
capacity Of their roots to take away
from the crop the necessary plant
food. 1t is when the corn is voung
that it needs the greatest care, and it
is mare difficult to keep the weeds out
than when the corn plants are higher,
as they are more liable to be covered
with the cultivator.
For that reason the thorough clean.
ing out of the weeds gives less labor
next year. To delay the work until
the weeds are established is to increase
the labor and delay tie crop, as the
land cannot grow weeds and corn ut
the same time. Ii all the weeds arc
killed by the weeder, harrow, culti-
Vator ami hoe, allowing noS L single

CRIB BITING.

There is only one c. rtain remedy for
this vicious habit, which is to give the
food on the floor in loose feedbox.
For horse to crib there must be some
fixed thing of which the animal can
take hold with his teeth and on such
a level with his body that he may
stretch out his neck horizontally, thus
affording free passage for the wind
which is inspired and suddenly ex-
pired. And this thing must be firmly
fixed, that the horse may pull on it
with considerable force. Nov, if the
stall has nothing of this fixed kind in
it, no trough for the food, which is
usually the object seized by the ami
mails teeth, and no bar or other fix
ture, but only smooth walls, and the
only furniture is a loose feedbox on
the floor, or a loose shallow feedbox
fixed if it is desired on the floor, then
the animal has no power to perform
this curious act, and cribbing is i'm
possible, and then for want of oppor
tunity the habit will gradually die
out.-New York Times.

WEEDS BY THE WAYSIDE.

The borders along the public high
ways and country roads are too often
the seed-beds of noxious weeds. This
is often the case also along the rail
roads. Along the latter the passing
freight cars are constantly iolting of
and distributing injurious weedseeds
from remote places. This evil is in
creasing every year, and the adjacent
fields show the bad effects. During
the present season in Maryland the
fields have been dotted with the COM
mon white daisies to an extent that
actually threatens the crowding out of
the grasses and clovers in the meadows.
In Baltimore County there are roads
where the sow-thistle, teazle, wild car
rot and many other noxious weeds are
annually allowed to grow in rank pro-
fusion. The winds and birds are
among the agencies that distribute
weedseeds over the country, and year
by year they are gaining strong foot
hold at the expense of the crops. In
some States there are county laws
which require the roadside and fence
corners to be kept clear OF weeds.
Such laws are of great benefit and ma
terialiy assist the farmer to keep his
fields free from weeds Home and

The Kansas Wolf Industry.

In 1889 the Kansas Legislature
passed lew authorizing counties to
pay bounties for wolf scalps. Nearly
every county in the State thereupon
offered q reward of SO or 81 for such
evidence that a wolf had been killed.
Some counties are paying out as much
as $4,000 year in this way, the total
in the State amounting to $50, 600.
The coyote supply continues to be
surprisingly large. A correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat as
serts that some of the Kansas farmers
who find their farms Improbable have
gone into the business of wolf raising,
in order to exc out a livelihood. He
says: "By means of wire fences, in
closures with ample burrowing
grounds are made, and here the crea-
lures increase with marvellous rapid
ity. The growth of family of kit
tens can only be compared to them.
For feed, the cheapest of meat is suffi-
cient, and as nothing is required but
the scalp in order to draw a bounty,
the carcasses of the killed wolves are
used for sustenance for those not
ready for market. The best sheep
that the prairie farmer can raise can
scarcely be sold for more than 50. To
produce several litters of wolves q
year, each member of which is worth
from SIS to 81, exclusive of skin and
carcass, is, it is seen, very renumera-
tive. These wolf raisers also supple
ment their home supply by constantly
hunting on the plains. Parties are
formed which surround creek valleys
and ravines, beating the bush and
capturing, dead or alive, dozens of the
lank gray beasts. The former go to
swell the cash accounts of the hunters
and deplete that of the county treas
ury, while the latter are added to the
supply on the wolf farm"

CORN A FAILURE.
One Railroad Abandons Overa Dozen
Stations on It's Lines.

The damage to the corn crop in parts
of Kansas and Nebraska is SO great that
the st. Joseph and Grand Island Railroad
has issued orders for the abandonment of
over dozen stations on its lines. The officers
of the road say tia stations are not aban-
doned permanently. although there is little
probability of their being reopened until an-
other crop is assured. The people along the
line in the sections where the stations arc
closed depended almost entirely on the corn
crop, and now are leaving in great numbers,
and there is absolutely no business for the
railroads,

HOW TO SPRAY.

In applying spraying mixtures, il
one has only a small garden, bucket
with whiskbrook is a good thing to
throw the spray. If larger garden,
a hand syringe is a good thing, and On
large trees or orchards a force-pump
and barrel mounted on hand or horse
cart will be found essential. Large
trees are sprayed by means of a long
pole attached to the nozzle of a spray
ing hose, to carry it within a few feet
of the leaves, for it is important to
reach all the leaves if possible. New
