Canada Thistle.

Some farmers will allow Canada this
ties to remain rather than to undertake
the task of their destruction. No one
should expect to get rid of them in
year, but the land can be cleared of
them if the work Is properly done and
persisted in. Plow the land and plant
to potatoes. In addition to the cult
vator use the hoe, and always cut the
thistles two or three inches under
ground. The next year grow cabbages
or some other crop requiring the hoe
(even corn will answer, and the this
ties will become less numerous every
year. Then SOW to Hungarian grass
and NOW it as frequently as possible.

Farmers Not Improving Opportunities

Farmers Not Improving Opportunities
Farmers are not improving their OPP
portunities for poultry production as
they might. Comparatively few keep
as many hens as the village mechanic
or the town fancier who makes the
most of his back lot. There are more
of the latter than Of the former whose
hens number up into the hundreds,
and who make careful study of poul-
try production. This ought not to be
so. Fifty or seventy-five hen-power
poultry plants are quite common on
farms, but 300 or 500 hen-power farms
are few and far between. They should
be common, and LOCO, 2,000 and even
5000 hens might be kept on many
farms by those who will carefully study
the business. Do | know what | am
talking about? Yes, | think l do.
know of 5000 hen egg farms that have
been successfully run for many years.
They are not, however, conducted after
the fanciers' methods or by closely fol
lowing the directions laid down in the
poultry books and papers.-Samuel
Cushman, in Rural World.

| heard the late General John G.
Starkweather tell of trying expert
ence signal man had at the battle of
Chickamauga. He was stationed near
ly at the tor of high tree. The union
line at that point was suddenly driven
back, quickly followed by the victorious
and yelling Confederates. They did not
discover the signal man. When they
had passed he signaled a report to the
commander of what had happened and
asked for orders. Remain where YOU
are until dark, and then try to get into
our lines" was the answer. When 1t
was dark he slid out of the tree and
wandered about until morning, when
he brought up near General Thomas
headquarters. While the Signal service
was pleasant and dignihIl when there
was no fighting, it was as hazardous
and at times more SO than any other
branch.

they usually go into farm homes. Such
