ELECTRIC WEED KILLER.
It's Inventor Claims to Have Brought 1t
Down to Practical Shape.

Its Inventor Claims to Have Brought 1t
Down to Practical Shape.
The electric weed-killer. which was
experimental upon some time ago with
varying results, is said to have been
brought down to practical shape. The
device was intended originally for the
destruction of grass and weeds along
railroads. 1t is now proposed to ex-
tend its application to land covered by
noxious weeds. such as the Canadian
and Russian thistle. cookie burrs and
the like. 1t is expected to be especially
valuable in the destruction of plants of
the thistle tribe, in which the root
must be destroyed in order to annihi-
late the weed. 1t is claimed that the
use of the electric weed-killer will re-
duce the cost of keeping railway lines
clear of vegetation from $40 to $50 per
mile per year. The operation of the
device is based on the varying con-
ductivity of vegetables; the more
moisture they contain the less re-
sistance they offer to the current. The
apparatus consists of an alternating
generator mounted on car, producing
electricity at 1000 volts pressure. and
stepped up to from 5000 to p. 1000
volts, according to the kind and quality
of the vegetation to be destroyed. The
current, after being raised to the re-
quired voltage. is conducted through
series of fine wires or brushes" to the
tops of the weeds or grass: the other
side of the current being made through
the wheels OF the car to the ground.
The current leaps from the suspended
brush to the weeds, and passes through
them to the ground, thus completing
the circuit The current traverses the
entire length of the plant, from the
topmost leaf to the roots, rupturing its
cellular tissue and completely destroy
ing it. The root is generally affected
more than the rest of the plant, from
the fact that it contains more moisture.
In many cases the current, in passing,
heats the plant to such an extent that
it cannot be held in the hand. 1t is
said that the apparatus can be quickly
equipped, and at no great expense.

The Size of Poultry Flocks.

Large flocks of poultry are kept as
successfully as small ones, provided
the conditions under which they are
kept are the same But they must
have proportionate amount of space
and of care. TO obtain the latter they
must be divided up into families and
become individuals instead of aggrega-
lions. This is essential that the eye of
the master may see to the welfare OF
each, and in any cases of lice or disease
may be quick to detect the trouble and
apply the remedy. This is more read
lily and cheaply done in the early
stages, and when but few have been
exposed to its communicating influence.
Where these points are properly con-
sidered. large numbers of birds can be
handled successfully. but dire failure
is certain to await the one who at
tempts to ignore them 1t has been

try, like most other living things. can

we are just that much better off. The
accompanying plan shows my method
of setting an orchard which will in
crease the number of trees one-third

Or Is years old. If they then interlap,
remove every other one, and you will
still have as many as by planting As feet

have had II years use of the trees

ton to and had some experience in
this matter, so if / were to plant so
orchards 1 would follow the scheme

young man is, plant in this manner,
cultivate well for five or six years,
branch the trees low. give them an an

pay, other things being equal.-C. 2.

To Eaten Cattle Quickly.

To fatten cattle most rapidly at this
season of the year provide pasture
with at least one acre of grass for each
cow or steer. Begin with five pounds
of cornmeal and one pound of crushed
oil cake for each animal. Increase the
feed by adding one pound OF cornmeal
and one-half pound of oil cake daily
for two weeks. If corn is ground with
out the cob make a mixture of three
parts meal and one part bran or mill

ponds meal and bran, eight pounds

SERVING VEGETABLES.
Some serviceab1e Suggestions for the
Cuisine.

Some serviceabIe Suggestions for the
CUISINE.
The usual rule for serving vegeta bles
is one green vegetable and one starchy
vegetable. If green salad is used
this often takes the place of the green
vegetable, as at certain seasons of the
year it is difficult in many places to
get more than one. An excess of
starchy vegetables should be avoided,
as one also has starch in the form of
bread and in potatoes With fresh vege-
ia bles of delicate flavor should be used,
either potatoes, tomatoes cooked in
many ways, cucumbers. or green peas.
With roast beef one may serve sweet or
white potatoes, or in their place
boiled rice, or hominy, caulifiower.
Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, onions,
okra, young beets, beet greens, green
peas and Lima beans The same vege-
ia bles may be served beefsteak as well
as satisfy, asparagus, or mushrooms.
With boiled mutton serve potatoes,
caulihower, young carrots, satisfy,
onions, spinach. or any kind of beans
that are green. With boiled mutton
serve caper sauce, currant jelly, or
horseradiSh.
With veal serve carrots, white tur-
nips, or spinach, lettuce, creamed cab
bage, young beets, or beet greens.
With game serve a sauce and a salad.
Stewed celery with white sauce.
With goose when roasted serve apple
sauce, onions, or squash. When pota-
toes are served as a vegetable with
meat, and only one vegetable can be
afforded in addition, it is more appe-
tizing usually to have that one green
vegetable. 1t is also more healthful,
as the potatoes furnish the starch
needed for the diet--N. Y. Post.

HARD COUNTRY ROADS.

Until We Have Them Public Prosperity
Is Bound Suffer.
At this time of the year we Can APP
preciate good roads fully, and 1T is to
be regretted that we forget how incon-
venient bad roads are as soon as the
roads that are bad get good in the
spring. A few weeks ago we had occa-
sion to drive four miles into the coun-
try in northern Ohio, where the roads
get frightfully bad on occasion, and
although we had a fairly good team
and a light buggy, the best time we
could make was to drive the four miles
in an hour and half. When we ar
rived at our destination the team
showed the effects of the hard drive
very plainly, though they had not been
driven off walk. \ week ago, in
southern Ohio. we saw team trotting
along hitched to a wagon on which
was 1900 pounds of hay. They have
good roads in southern Ohio, or rather
southwestern Ohio. and they derive
the benefit from them. They cost a
tidy sum to make, but now that they
are made the people benefited would
not return to the barbarous mud roads
of former years for any consideration.
The costliest item of expense to the
farmers of this country is the loss they
sustain from impossible roads There
has been much agitation on the subject
and it is having its effect, but until
something is done to improve the con-
dition of the roads of this country it's
prosperity will suffer to an enormous
extent Land in a County where the
roads are good is worth twice as much
as in a mud road county, and the farm
ers of the country could not pay taxes
for any purpose that would make great
err direct returns. Good roads are
necessary to perfect civilization, and
that means that we shall have them
some time in the not distant future

In preparing land for melons in the

saws: Growers will find it of great adj

etc. In part he was right. but in my

In order to make an orchard profita bic,
it is necessary TO have more trees on

35 to A feet apart If we can do this
and not injure the land, trees or fruit,
/ think we have made fair start to-

ing. While tree is young we get the
best crops The fruit is larger, more
perfect, and less liable to rot. In this
locality tree begins to fruit at the
age of five or six years from planting.
The next 10 or II years the orchard is
in. its prime, and if during this time
we can get one-th.rd more trees and
have one-third more fruit to market.
