Chorlock inspiring Grain.

If there appear yellow flowers scat
tered here and there through fields OF
oats or barley, when these cereals have
grown few inches high, 1t is a sign
that the field needs attention and weed
Ing. This yellow flower belongs to
the mustard family, and Is an intoler-
able pest in spring grain. 1t only grows
on ground disturbed in spring. Each
plant bears hundreds to thousands or
seeds. and as these will lie In the ground
for years, and only grow when the
ground Is spring plowed, they soon
make the growing of spring grain I'M
possible. Wherever this pest abounds
seeding should be done with winter
wheat or rye, and no spring cultlVa-
ton of these grains can be allowed as
this will start the weed to growing,
lust as 1t would in spring grain.

The Missouri experiment station has
been experimenting for the past two
years with asparagus growing, and has
successfully grown asparagus in the
open field in mid-winter by running
steam into shallow tunnels between
the asparagus rows. The asparagus
field was first covered with six or
seven inches Of heating horse manure,
and the steam forced into the soil from
the greenhouse boiler. BY this means
a large yield Of fine asparagus was OBJ
talned throughout the months of De
cember, January and February; the
finest quality being gotten In the mid
die Of January, when the weather was
coldest. Many Of the sprouts were
twelve or fourteen inches long and an
inch In diameter, bleached perfectly
and very tender and delicious. The
amount of steam required was very
small, and for persons located near a
good market the winter growing Of as
paragus would prove profitable.

Rclier Cor Tired saIeswomen.

Not only the saleswomen complain,
but trained nurses often suffer from
swollen feet, especially when they first
go into hospitals. A powder which is
much used In the German army for slft-
ing into the shoes and stockings of the
infantry soldiers might be of service.
1t consists of three parts OF salicyl!c
acid, ten parts of starch and eighty
seven parts of pulverlzed soapstone.
This keeps the feet dry. prevents chat
ing and heals any sore spots. The soap
stone alone, without the other ingre-
dients, has also been found useful and
soap alone will give relief when well
rubbed over the sole of the stocking.

WORLDS BIGGEST WHEEL.
First Exhibited to the Public In Ber'

Probably te biggest bicycle ever built
was first exhibited to the public at the
Sport Park Friedenau, near Berlin, by
the inventor, Karl Jatho, of HancfT'"22.-',
The rear wheel stands over nine feet
high and two seats are provided, one
at each side of the large wheel. The
front wheel Is OF the ordinary bicycle
PATTERN, and by comparison the I'M
mense size of the larger wheel becomes
evident. The inventor, Jatho, mas
quite a reputation as a wheelman, and
is probably the best amateur fancy rid

wheel Is not difficult az It might ap
pear at first glance, however. The
center of gravity IS placed somewhat
below the axle of the large wheel, ana
therefore 1t IS an easy matter TO Keep
the wheel going steadily.
