The common purslane Is one Of the
wonders Of botany, IA f,r as seeds are
concerned Ut least A single seed of this
plant will produce about 20 seed pods
III IA season. The average number of
seeds in each Of these, by actual count,
is 6, 600, making so, 600 III all. AS far
as we have been able to learn there is
no instance Of similar fruitfulness in
any plant found growing III this coun-
try. A single plant of either the James
town weed Crimson the butter
weed, the rag weed and some of the
Yeryines produce an enormous number
of seeds, but it is doubtful if any one of
them produces one-fourth AS many in a
year as the pursane does. St Louis

For Grain Insects,

For insects i'll grain the remedy is BIZ
sulphide of carbon. 1t may be put in a
deep dish inside the bin on top of the
grain. Then close the bin and make it
as nearly alright as possible. The BIZ
sulphide of carbon will evaporate. The
fumes are heavier than air and will
sink all through the grain and kill the
insects. In order to have these fumes
effective the bin must be tight so that
no pure air can work in Do not breathe
the fumes and do not bring flame of
any sort near them.

Many eastern farmers are feeding rape
for the first time and therefore may not
know that it will bear considerable
frost. An exchange, however, calls at.
tention to the fact that if sheep Craze it
while the frost is on they destroy each
leaf that they touch. The best plan is to
keep the sheep off the rape until late
enough in the day for the frost to get
out of it.

Improperly discounted one or two gas
bills. and in return asked those favored
to vote for a Republican candidate, but
he was reported SEX, and The matter
was laid aside. The members Of the
Board wish it understood tina. if any
thing of the sort has been done, it was
tirely unknown to the Board.
