more common in Canada than in

more difficult to suppress than the
Russian thistle, the Russian thistle
Is much more injurious. The bet
ter way is to never permit this
pest to mature on the farm. After
1t or any other weed once obtains
toothold the labor multiplies
many times to suppress it.

troublesome Weeds.

are blenn1alS and some are per-
ennials, and knowledge of these
distinctions enables the farmers to
intelligently deal with the rests.
Take for example, the common
burdOck it is biennial that is, it
grows from the seed and the first
year it grows large leaves but does
not throw out any seed stock; the
second year it goes to seed. and its
burs containing the numerous seed
pods will stick to live stock. Did
any OF you ever see sticking to
stock these burs to be thrashed out
IN the pastures and over the farm,
thus scattering the seed? Now,
during the first years growth of
burdoCk there is no use to cut it
in fact it does more harm than
good; but the second year, when
it sends forth its seed stalk, lust
before it blossoms, cut it down in
the vigor of its evil existence, and
it will be dead forever. On the
orher hand, the yellow dock is a
perennial, like timothy, and is
very mean weed. Its seeds do not
spread easily, but cutting it off
does not kill it, 1t should be dug
up, root and branch, and cast into
the fire, that its seed may perish
| from off the earth
Some weeds, especially ANNALS
or biennials, may be killed by
moving them just before, or at the
time, they blossom; but there are
other weeds which cannot be killed
| by moving after they are i'll bloom
for example, the Canada thistle
will mature its seed even though
it is cut down Immediately after 1t
has blossomed as there is enough
substance in the stock to mature
the seed,
The wild lettuce you all know
very we'll, though the acquaintance
is somewhat brief and disagreeable.
| 1t came to this country from
Europe; its seeds are lighter and
carried u'ore easily than the thistle;
it is a hardy plant and should be
pulled out by the roots. The stem,
close to the ground, is prickly and
cannot be pulled without cover
ing on the hand. 1t is nose trou-
blesome in meadows sheep viii
eat it and keep it III check in pas
lures. A full grown plant Will
produce about ten thousand seeds.
There is fungus which comes
with this weed which will attack
cultivated lettuce. When cut near
the ground it will send up adj
ditional sprouts which will go to
seed,
The Russian thistle first appear
ed III Dakota in 1873, and Is now
found over the greater part OF the
state. In some places the helds
have been abandoned. 1t was first
noticed in Ohio in 1894 along the
tracks of the Lake Shore railroad,
near Bryan. It IS one OF the worst
weeds known, and a large portion
of Europe is afflicted with 1t. It's
an annual and should be cut down
when it FIRST blooms for one plant
will produce about twenty thou
sand seeds.
The Canad thistle grows about
two feet high; has prickly leaves,
rose purple flower, and Is the
! highest colored of all thistles, 1t
has the power of reproducing itself
from roots as we'll as seeds. 1t Is
a perennial plant, and therefore
more troublesome than either the
wild lettuce or Russian thistle. II

AGAINST THE
RAILROADS.
Henderson's Bill to Reduce
Passenger Fare to Two
Cents.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 10
Anti-raiIroad legislation will
be commenced in the house
tomorrow by the introduction
OF two bills. Henderson has a
measure providing that two
cents per mile and no more
shall be collected for passen-
ger fare and that sleeping cars
shall collect but one dollar for
a berth for a night of ten
hours. Henderson's bill also
provides that the fare of two
cents may be rendered to the
conductor as well as station
agents. He claims that he
has polled the house and be-
lieves his measure viii be fav-
orably acted upon.
Holland of Harris will also
introduce a bill making the
fare two cents per mile, paya-
BE at the same rate on the
train. He makes no mention
of sleeping cars. His bill is
directed at the gate system.
However, the fourth section of
the bill provides that all doors
to passenger coaches on all
railroads in the State shall be
opened Immediately on the
arrival of any train at the de-
pot and shall remain open a
sufficient length of time to al
low all passengers to enter
and leave the train. This,
with the provision allowing
passengers to pay their fare
on the train, will force the
roads to abandon the gates
now in use.
