Favorite Song Writer Dead.

Harrison Millard, Americas
best known song writer, died in
New York on September 10. He
was born in Boston and at the
age of 20 was sent to Italy, where
he studied three years under great
musical masters and made sue
oessful debut as concert and
oratorio singer. "Viva la Ame-
rica' was the first of splendid
series of patriotic songs he COM
posed. He served through the
four years of the war, becoming
captain of regulars and receiv-
ing severe wound at Chicka-
manga. Mr.. Willard was author
of the charming parlor operetta,
1.-TWO Can Play at That Came
His original ballads and discrip-
tive songs alone number several
hundreds, and he translated from
foreign sources no less than 500
lyrics. Among some OF his catch
ing songs are Waiting" Baby
Mine,' Flag of the Free" cum
der the Daisies" etc. Mr.. Mil
lard's handsome person and
genial, courtly manners were
known to very extensive circle
OF friends and acquaintance. He
was a widower at the time of his
death, with an interesting family
OF children growing up ABOUT
him, one of whom, his daughter
Marie, made her public debut as
a singer in the part of Adalgisa

Among the many varieties Of

nursery under the direction of the
Commissioner of Agriculture is
the kola, which it is claimed is
more stimulating than coffee and
has no bad after effects. The
natives of Africa and the Indies,
who chew it, are in great demand
as laborers, because they are al
ways in splendid health, suffer
no fatigue and work long hours
without any food. In those coun-
tries the cocoa chewer is always
rejected for the kola chewer
Kola contains more caffeine than
coffee itself, good deal of starch
and no tannin. 1t instantly in
creases muscular strength and al
lays hunger and thirst, besides
lessening perspiration in hot
weather. The nut is now Guilt

CAMPAIGN AGAINST WEEDS.

Inquiries are constantly coming to
us concerning the best method Of get
ting rid of noxious weeds, especially
perennials. Begin by sowing the in-
tested fields to oats in the spring, or
wheat or rye in the fall. Soon after
these small grains have been har-
vested, plow under the stubble, thus
checking the development OF the first
crop of weeds. When the second
crop has started on the plowed
ground, go over it with a disk har-
row, corn cultivator, or any other
farm implement that will kill the
young weeds. Repeat this operation
as often as necessary this fall to pre-.
vent the maturing of any seed or the
development of root-stocks. Seed
the field to winter grain again this
fall and repeat the operation again
next year. If the weeds are very
persistent, ms tho Canada thistle,
quack grass, etc. cultivate the fallow
often enough to prevent any green
leaf surface appearing. Otherwise
the underground stems will live for a
long time. This is tho best method
of treating an infested field, and if
persisted in will be successful. Now
is the time to begin the work. Do
not neglect it. = American Agrioultur-
ist.

CROSS BREEDS.

The improved breeds of poultry
have undoubtedly done much to make
poultry breeding successful and profit
able. 1t is acknowledged that the
dunghill fowl cannot compete with
the improved breeds, either in the
production of eggs or flesh. Never
theless, we do not believe in the aver
age farmer going in for pure breeds.
He should leave them for the fancier,
who understands the problem of breed
ing, and is steadily trying to cultivate
and improve on them.
The general poultry breeder is in
the business for eggs and poultry,
and he will find that high grades will
give him better results than pure
bloods. Poultry breeds up very rap
IDLY, and it is much easier to grade
up as IN stock breeding, always using
ure.bred males, than it is to hold
ones own with pure blooded stock.
In the latter case the tendency is apt
to be downward, while in the for mer
it is always steadily upward.
But the most serious objection is
that pure-bred fowls are apt to be oi
delicate nature. The breeding NJ
and in to which they have been sub
jected has weakened their constitu
tions. precisely as it has done that o
all other animals of the ''improvet
breeds. Certain advantages hav'
undoubtedly been gained, but thes'

now LONG TO MILK.

This is an old question, and the
writers seem to be confirmed In the
belief that the number of cows are SO
few that will not dry off in comparison
with the whole number Of milch kline,
that the question is rather over dis
cussed, and assuming that the ques-
tion is one of great moment. that
Practical Farmer is inclined TO be on
the side of the question that a COW is
better for six weeks to two months
drying, before dropping her calf, and
will give all the more milk for the
rest. In our own dairy this seems
to be fact, and others report the
same thing though there is "cloud
of witnesses" ON the other side who
are just as strong in the belief that II
a COW is fed we'll, she will give milk
for many years without deterioration
of milking qualities. Mrs Ella Rock
wood, who is a most observing dairy
woman, in discussing this matter in
an exchange, has this to say at its
close Sentiment aside, the COW
may be a machine, yet she is
not one made of cast iron,
but of delicately formed nerve and
tissues that cannot bear the continu-
Gus strain upon her vitality without
it's impairing by continuous milking.
1t aids in laying in store of added
vigor, and conserves the vital forces
to have this rest" Perhaps the most
valid argument in the question is that
of the maternity of the COW and its
offices, for dairying is the commerce
of this motherhood features Of the
COW, and the continuous, never end
ing demands upon that function with
out rest must have sooner or later its
weakening effect; then in the plan of
continuous milking there is no chance
for the expanding of the udder by the
slow secretion of fluids in the natural
way, and the function of milk-giving
stimulated by the natural reservoir
processes of providing for the suste- !
nance of offspring is interfered with,
and the cases are numerous where
cows when continuously MIXED have
not given nearly so much milk the
second year, and COW in the writer's
barn to-day is strong testimony to
this view of the matter. There is no
doubt but that some cows can stand
an amount of this continuous milking
and not be injured in the end, but as
said we think that they are the excep-
ton, and that six weeks rest is a
reasonable demand upon the part of
the COW. Practical Farmer.

Antarctic Explorations.

Cape Horn was rounded for the first
time in 1916 by Dutch expedition,
which had set out from Amsterdam in
the Hoorne Tor Horn) and Eendracht,
Tor Unity,) to find a new western
route to the East Indies, and so to
evade the ordinance of the States
General prohibiting all Dutch ships
not engaged in the service of the
Dutch East India Company from
passing by the Cape of Good Hope to
the eastward or through the Straits of
Magellan to the westward. The
Hoorne was burned at the entrance to
the Straits of Magellan, and some of
her timbers were found on the spot
half a century later by Sir John Mar
borough, whom Charles III. sent to
Patagonia for gold.
The other vessel pushed on, doubled
and named tho Horn after the lost
ship (which had also received its name
from the place of that name in Hol-
land, of which one of the principals
in the undertaking was a native,) dis
covered and named (after the Amster-
dam merchant who conceived the
idea. the Straits of La Maitre, and
finally reached the Pacific. Seventeen
years earlier another Dutchman, Dirck
Gerritz, in a vessel of only $50 tons
burden, which formed part of the
East India squadron of Simon of
Cordes, had been driven by bad
weather from the western entrance of
the Straits of Magellan rs far south as
latitude sixty-two degrees, and dis
covered the islands now known as the
South Shetlnnds. To him it was
coast resembling that of Norway,
mountainous and covered with snow.
His statement was regarded rs apoc-
ryphal until Mr. William Blythe, in the
year 1919, rediscovcred the islands
while on voyage from Montevideo
to Valparaiso.
The Dutch navigator De Bonneville
was crealited with having, even before
Gerritz, discovered Terra Australia
to the south of Africa, but we know
from Pigafetta. the biographer of
Magellan, that the phrase "Anarctic
Pole" was very loose one, and was
taken to mean the southern hemi-
sphere, which is vastly different
matter. Moreover, De Bonneville
brought home to France with him the
son of the sovereign of his new found
land, which is of itself sufficient to
prove that he did not penetrate far
south. But his story and the sight of
his dusky captive set the hearts of his
countrymen beating with wild hopes

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
WASTED FODDFr.

Taking the estimates of the Depart
ment of Agriculture as to the area
grown to corn, and the per cent OF
waste of the corn fodder annually in
the United States, it appears that this
annual waste on the farms of the
country amounts to over $500, 900, 900.
just think of such an enormous an
nual waste of one of the products of
staple crop. Suppose that the
farmers of the United States we're re-
quired to put their hands in their
pockets and throw away over $500,
900, 900 annually And yet that is the
equivalent of what is going on re-
specting one of the great staple pro-
ducts Of the farm. Save properly and
feed the corn fodder, and sell the hay
for cash, for it brings good price. =

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Don't wait until fowls are infested
with vermin, but prevent such ca
lamity to your flock.
When milk is to stand long time,
stone or glass vessels should be used.
If milk is to stand only short time
in is preferable because easily cleaned.
Encourage the boys and girls in
fruit growing. 1t has refining infu-
euce, and if the boy once gets inter-
osted in horticulture he is, to an ex-
tent, fortified against vice.
Sheep intended for mutton must be
kept quiet, handled gently; they can
not be made part of a system of
farming that includes restlessness. un-
steadines and continuous changing Of
conditions.
When dairymen buy cows from
dealers they are liable to bring disease
into the herd. A strange COW should
always be an object of suspicion, un-
less procured from parties known to
be reliable.
Bordeaux mixture is found sure
preventative of curl leaf on peach trees
in Washington, according to report
Mr.. J. F. Cass, OF the State Horticul-
tural Commission, published in the
Rural Northwest.
The more you cnt sweet peas the
longer they will continue towering
profusely. Allowing the seed so MAJ
ture early impairs the vigor of the(
plant and shortens to certain extent
the period OF towering.
Feed off all the old corn before any
of the new crop is used, but do not
feed any corn in the summer if green
food can be given the stock. Utilize
everything that can bo converted into
food. Even weeds can be fed to
swine.
Economy is essential to success on
the farm, especially WHEN prices are
low. The most extravsgance practiced
by farmers is in the use of inferior
stock. 1t is more economical to feed
grain to animals than give the largest
possible return therefrom than to at
tempt to save by holding on to the in
ferlor kinds.

PreCOciOuR Roses.

A new race of roses has been intro
duced by some Paris growers. They
belong to the Polyantha group-that
is to say, they bear their flowers in
trusses. The new roses have advantage
over the others of being perpetual"
and consequently they flower con-
tinuously all through the summer.
This advantage they owe to their ori-
gin, natural cross (croisement natu-
rely observed in the Lyons gardens,
between the flowers of the first speci-
mems introduced from Japan, and some
hybrid perpetual roses. By repeated
and ca reful selections new race of
roses has been produced, which, like
ANIMALS, germinate, flower and pro-
duce seeds in less than year.
The term "dwarf" is justified by
the height, which in adult plants is
only about twenty inches. The flow
ers are single, semi-double or double,
in almost equal proportions, and pre-
sent almost all variations of color OBJ
served in cultivated roses. Flowering
commences IN the first year and even
