The Tug OF War.

Farming is tug of war with nature.
The farmer cannot sit down in the
house and leave the land to itself He
must plow, harrow, sow, plant, weed &,
fight insects, and stick to it all the
warmer part of the year. Now to the
farmers who read the WATCHMAN let
me say, aim to do better this year than
ever before. Tug little harder, get a
little more cinch on the land. Plow a
little deeper. Harrow good deal
more than you ever have before Do
not be afraid to pillow land twice. Do
not undertake to do too much, but see
if you cannot do what you do undertake
well. Make the soil finer than ever
before. Keep the weeds down better.
Do not put in a crop unless you can
keep it clean.
You must have weeder, no use to
try to get on without it. 1t is a neces-
sity to use the best tools. You cannot
afford to keep to the old ways. You
are living in the year 1899 and must
use the tools of 1899 or you will fall be-
hind. There are many weeders offer
ed for sale. We think all are good,
but get one in season and use it early
and often. You will need spray
pump of some kind. The little ones
selling for dollar or less are the best
for simple paris green, but for the Bor-
deaux mixture something larger is
needed. The weeder and spray pump
are two of the modern tools no one
thought of using thirty years ago, nor
much even twenty years ago. Now
they must be used. They help along
nightly in the tug of war, the tug
with nature, her weeds and insects, her
fungi and parasites. See this year if

FOR THE USE OF FARMERS.
Agricultural Department Bulletin on
Poisonous Flants

In order TO supply the great demand by
farmers and others for information in re
latiCn to poisonous plants, the United
States Department of Agriculture will
scln issue Farmers Bulletin No. sc, en-
titled Thirty Poisonous Plants OF the
United States" 1t was prepared by V K
Chestnut, assistant botanist-
The Division of Botany has during the
last three years been collecting general
and specific information concerning pois-
onous plants, and has investigated num-
Der of cases of poisoning which have been
reported To the division. By communi-
eating with the physician who had charge
of each case accurate and full data were
obtained with regard to many plants.
This bulletin contains descriptions of
shirty. and illustrations of twenty four of
the most important poisonous p ants of
the United States. The poisonous charac-
Ter, localities where found, and symptoms
Of poisoning are also briefly described.
The bulletin says that owing TO a lack
OF statistics il is impossible TO form even
an approximate estimate of the damage
done by poisonous plants number OF
children are killed annually by the various
species of water hemlock. Many cattle
are also killed.
All poisonous plants are not equally in
furious TO all persons nor to all forms OF
life. The poison ivy, for instance, acts
upon the skins of the majority of persons
but with varying intensity. Many people
are probably wholly immune, and it has
no apparent external effect upon animals.
There is a large number of poisonous
plants which are comparatively little
known. This bulletin considers those only
which are we'll known to be poisonous to
a dangerous degree.
The bulletin is for free distribution, and
may be obtained Of members of Congress
or by applying to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
