a result of Thursdays collision and the

but it is only remote one. At the

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of Dr.. Wards Linment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,

a household word in thousands of homes. DUR
ing all these long years of toilng and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
justice as to undertake to despol him of his bus;
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this

article. Therefore, in order to protect his busl-

Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the

same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office

as non-saccharine sorghum and il
common with all varieties of sorghum

Indian corn.
Katfir corn seed has been found equas
to corn in feeding value, and the red

PEAT AS 4 MANURE.
Scientific Side Of an Important AGricul-
turAl Question.

Scientific Side Of an Important AKriculs
tural Question.
The economic importance OF the
increased use Of moss litter, from the
point of view OF manure, is incalcuable.
Prof. Fleisher points out that, COM
pairing peat and straw manure bych
ical analysis, It's found thatthe former,
while slightly poorer in potash, lime,
and phosphoric acid, is very consider
ably richer in nitrogen. But the diff
ference is still more in favor Of the peat
manure in respect to the easily soluable
Eitrates, for the reason that these orig
mate solely in the animal excrement, in
which they are present in the form
Of volatile body, which is noticeable
in the stall by its pungent smell. He
says:
I'm the power Of fixing this substance,
which so INJURIES the health Of beasts
and so materially heightens the good
operation Of the manure, is to be dis
covered one Of the most valuable prop
critics Of moss litter"
From his figures it appears that in
u stall Of ten head Of cattle, through the
use of moss litter, about lao Kilograms
Of easily soluble nitrates yearly, worth
at least $35, would be preserved in the
manure, which In employing straw, are
lost.
According to the comparative studies
Of Lavalarl on the subject Of manures
from animals fed in the same manner,
the richness in nitrogen is O.6s for peat
manure and only 0.5l for straw manure.
Peat litter Is also said to be the best
possible material for use in fowl houses,
on account Of its deodorizing qualities
and its power Of banshing insects.
Bielawslsi mentions that it is used in the
great military pigeon houses in Paris,
which contain more than 500 pigeons.
1t is stated that the best bedding,
both as regards the beasts and as re.
CARDS the manure, is layer Of straw
over a good thick bed Of moss litter.
In this way. the animals have the most
comfortable bed and the stall looks
nice and fresh; the urine and the am-
monla which the straw cannot absorb
are absorbed by the peat below; the
manure has the advantage of the ele-
ments in which each substance Is
richest, and nothing is lost either in
the stable or outside. Farm, Field and

kAFslR CORN REPORTS.
Il IL Claimed to be the Best Poasibls
Crop for Arid Lands.

Il 10 Claimed to he the Best Possible
Crop for Arid Lands.
Several years Of cultivation Of Kaffir
corn in Kansas have demonstrated
that It is one of the most remunerative
crops that can be grown under con-
ditions existing in that state. That
the farmers realize this fact is proven
by the remarkable acreage shown BY
the reports Of the secretary OF the state
board Of agriculture for 1895. In 1893
the total kallir corn acreage was 49,
oil; in 1894. 95,237; and in 1905, lS4,l0S.
The state agricultural college at
Manhattan has been experimenting
with Katiir corn since 1889. Two w
rieties OF seed were used which from
its color are respectively denominated
white and red Kafilr corn. They are
alike in their habits Of growth. Both
attain height Of five or six feet, or
more on very rich soil. They both
have short, stiff stalks, thickly Gov
cred with foliage, which somewhat re-
sembles leaves Of sorghum, and both
produce a long, slender, upright head
densely covered with small rounded
seeds. They differ, however, not only
In the color of the seed, but also in the

admission of smoke, which passes out

cobs are excellent for smoking, as they

SURE WEED KILLER.


The latest method of killing weeds Is
by electricity, Prof. Woodwork, of
Michigan agricultural college, has been
making experiments which show that
the new method is both cheap and effec-
tive. A wheelbarrow or wagon is loaded
with storage batteries from which long
wires trail along the ground. The
wagon is then taken over the land to be
cleared and wherever the wires touch Il
weed 1t is instantly killed clear down to
the roots The professor claims that
electricity is preferable to almost any
thing else for destroying the dreaded
Russian and Canadian thistles.
These hardy pests resist most weed
killing compounds, because the roots
are not destroyed and the plants spring
up again wItnrenewed vlgor. Iheelec-
trio current, however, runs down 70 the
lowest root and destroys 1t. A draw
back to the scheme is the initial cost OF
the batteries and apparatus, but in the
long run it pays for itself

Red Kamr Corn


Katfir corn will do as well in good
corn countries as Indian corn, and it
will thrive in many places where corn
cannot be grown at all. Several
methods have been adopted in Kansas
of cultivating kailir corn. Some farm
ers SOW it as they do wheat and cut 1t
for the fodder, only feeding the seed on
the stalks. On this subject Prof. c. c.
Georgeson, CT the state agricultural
college, says: "Kaflir corn is best
grown in rows thirty inches to three
feet apart, and can be sown either with
a sorghum drill or with common
wheat drill. We use successfully an
eight-hoe press drill, on which all ex-
cept the first and fifth hoes are closed
up. We then seed two rows at time,
80 inches apart. A little practice will
soon show how the drill must be set in
order to SOW the right quantity Of seed.
II it comes up too thick 1t must be
thinned. Good heads will be formed
when the stalks are about four or five
inches apart in the row. In all other
respects il should be cultivated like

Every farmer who cures hams and

is no need for an elaborate building.
1t may be as simple as possible, and
should not be air-tight, as the meat
requires ventilation as well as smoke
for the drying that is essential to good
keeping and eating qualities. But the
most important point in smoking Is
that the smoke be cooled before coming
in contact with the meat. The accom-
