EXPERIMENTING WEEDS.

A weed is very properly termed "a
plant out OF place." but when a good,
healthy burdock, nettle, teazel, rag
weed or pigweed springs up beside a
poppy or marigold the order seems to
be reversed; the weed seemingly
thrives just as well, while the desira-
BILE plant becomes decidedly "out Of
place.
A vigorous use of the hoe at once up
on the appearance of the little weed
seedlings, where hoe can be used,
is the quickest and most effective way
to dispose Of them; but II they are al
lowed to grow for few days they may
be easily pulled up root and branch.
II weed has attained any size never
cut it off with the hoe, but pull it mp,
or generally new shoots will quickly
come from the old crown. Whatever
the way or the means, keep the weeds
down entirely, at all hazards, for they
rob the soil and render otherwise
slightly places decidedly Objectionable.
A wise gardener is he who never al
lows weed of any kind to go to seed
about his place for a considerable dis
lance about the outskirts, thereby saw
ing himself many a bachache the fol-
lowing season. When large weeds
about to seed are pulled up they should
be burned, as they might germinate. -

Between the western coast and the
central cordillera, north of the Igor
rotes, are in addition to the savages
mentioned, the Calingis, the Itetap-

of the Tagalog territory, are the Ibil-

Negritos called Dumagas.
For over two centuries and a half
Mussulman war junks (from the Sulu
islands and Mindanao) ravaged every
coast of the colony. Not single peo-
pied island was spared. Thousands OF
the inhabitants were murdered, while
others were carried into slavery for
years. Villages were sacked; the
churches were looted, local trade was
intercepted, the natives subject to
Spain were driven into the high lands
and many even dared not risk their
lives and goods near the coasts. The
Mohammedans of Sulu are robust, of
medium height, often of dusky
bronze color, piercing eyes, low fore
head, lank hair, which is dressed as
chignon and hangs down the back OF
the neck. The body is agile, the
whole movement is rapid, and they
have a wonderful power of holding the
breath under water. They are of
quick perception, audacious, extremely
sober, ready to promise everything and
do nothing, vindictive and highly sus-
picious of a strangers intentions.
They are very long-suffering in adver-
sity, hesitating in attack and the
bravest of the brave in defense. They
disdain work as degrading and only a
fit occupation for slaves, while warfare
is to their minds an honorable calling.

Public interest in the improvement of
county highways, that has been so agi-
tated in Massachusetts,, and particularly
in Worcester county, during the past
two years, has been strengthened in
most significant manner by the pres
ence of 700 delegates at the good roads
convention in Milwaukee. AS was aptly
said at the convention, the future pros
perity of the industrial classes will de-
pend not upon large advances in the
prices of farm products, but rather upon
the ability to reduce to the minimum
the cost of production. If the farmers
had followed the example set by the
manufacturers and had studied more
closely the cost per pound of getting his
products to the market, Worcester
county would today have greatly i'm
proved roads But singularly enough the
farmers are the slowest to appreciate
the advantages to be reached from inn
proved highways. Many of the defeats
met by legislative attempts to provide
state appropriations for road building
can be traced directly or indirectly to
the opposition of the farmers. Until they
are willing to give legislation of this
character their unqualified support, the
progress necessary in road building will
be retarded
