LOSSES FROM WEEDS.
They Always Cause n shrinknge OF
the Crop Among which They
Are Allowed to Grow.

It would be difficult for most farmers
to calculate how great is the loss from
the prevalence of weeds in crops. In
season when dry weather prevails these
losses are comparatively small, though
even then the weeds take water from
the soil which is not all returned when
they are uprooted and buried in II. The
weed that is buried is surrounded by air
spaces, keeping the soil more porous
than it otherwise would be. and there
fore drying it out faster. The case is
still worse as regards the fertility that
the weed has taken. 1t was originally
entirely soluble, but the weed has to
ferment and be resolved into vegetable
mold before it can be put in the same
soluble condition. Yet we have known
farmers to delay cultivation of hoed
crops so as to have more grass and
weeds to be plowed under.
1t is often said that weeds are pre-
ventive of good farming; that there
would be much less cultivation of hoed
crops if it were not that the growth of
weeds made it necessary. Yet where
the cultivator is kept going all through
the season so often as to prevent any
weed from reaching the surface, the
weed killed as quickly as it sprouted
has done the soil more good and less
harm than it could do at any subse-
quent stage of its growth. At this ear
ly period, about all the plant substance
has been directly furnished from the
swelling and decomposition of the seed
in termination. At this time the car
bonic acid gas which the seed gives off
when it terminates makes its plant
food more soluble than it ever can be
after the plant puts forth roots and be-
gins to draw from the soil. Finely pow
dered malt has been used as fertilizer.
When it has been applied in contact
with seed grain of any kind, it has pro-
duced remarkable results, though it is
too expensive a fertilizer to be used on
very large scale. But the ordinary
weed seed is much smaller and has far
less fertilizing material in it than has a
grain of barley.
1t is the popularity of most weeds
that most of their growth is taken di-
rectly from the soil, and that both it
and the moisture to make the plant food
soluble are needed by growing crops.
Each days growth of weed among
hoed crops lessons the yield. If the
weed is left until late, it's roots will be
so intermingled with those of valuable
crops that one cannot be destroyed
without uprooting the other. little
care in destroying the weeds while
| small will save much labor later besides
the inevitable shrinllage of the crop
among which the weeds have been al.
lowed to grow.-American Cultivator.

AN OLD SOLDIERS TRIBUTE.
4 GrizzIed Veteran Who Never For

of the horse of bronze on which sits the
heroic figure of Gen. Mcpherson in the
square which bears his name. 1t YVES

eled and dead, with nothing to show
whose hand had placed it at the foot of

fense of the union, a mute evidence of
re 7embrance.
On Saturday night young man was
passing through the park. In mo-
ment of abstraction he turned aside
from the path and read the inscription
on the granite base of the statue. He
was turning away to continue his walk
across the park when a voice called to
him. Turning, the young man saw
seated on bench, directly in front of
the statue, bent figure, with slouch
hat and an old army blouse. Gray
haired and bearded, clad in army blue,
a crutch beside him, the old man was a

STOCK ON THE FARM.
No Matter How Small the Premises II
VIII Pay the Owner to Keep
Hogs or sheep.

No farm so small but there are some
wastes on it if the produce is sold direct
from the farm. 1t is impossible to raise
and sell grain and hay without losing
some portion of it which might have
been saved if live stock were kept.
The man with large farm may be
able to go on raising and selling grain
and let the wastes go, but the small
farmer cannot allow these losses.
For the small farmer horses or cattle
are out of the question as they require
too large an area for pasturage, but
with hogs or sheep the case is different.
They can be kept with profit in COM
paratively cramped quarters. Either of
these kinds of stock may be used to
make meat of grass and grain. Feed
may be sold in the shape of mutton;
wool or pork to better advantage than
in its original condition. The small
farmer should be an intensive farmer
and intensive farming is impossible
without the help of live stock or the
purchasing of large quantities of fer
tilizers which is not good farming.
The man who owns small farm and
keeps a small herd of hogs or small
flock of sheep is likely to become an en-
thusiast and if this is the case the stock
kept will get much larger prices than
common stock and the profits will be in
creased.
AS matter of fact the small farmer
with few animals is in a position to
take the very best care of his animals
whether they are to be used for market
or are pure-breds which are to be sold
for breeders and in either case the re.
turns will be larger than they could be
where larger focks with less care are
kept.-Farmers' Voice.

The term "secret service money" is
usually applied to q fund placed at the
disposal of ministers to be expended
at their discretion, in promoting OF
protecting the interests of the coun-
try. These moneys consist of n sum
of $4,000 annually included in the
estimates, in respect of which minis
ters are only required to make dec
laration that the moneys spent have
been expended in accordance with
the intentions Of parliament" AS min
istcrs are required to give no account
of their stewardship. it is obvious we
have no means of knowing how these
moneys are expended. The reader,
however, who carries his mind back
to episodes within his knowledge, such
rs the collapse of the Fenian conspira-
tors, or of their later development, the
Irish Invincibles," will have little diff
fculty in realizing how Indispensable
fund of this kind is to the protection
of a state, and of understanding the
Infinite variety of uses to which it may
be applied.-C Journal.

when to Buy Mill Feed.

AT this time of year milleIs need all
their spare store room to hold grain,
and will sell bran and wheat middlings
much cheaper than they can afford to
do later in the season. There is often
saving of two or three dollars per ton,
even though the price of grain does not
advance if the mill feed needed for win
ter and spring use is purchased now. If
farmers have spare room in their barns
that can be kept always dry they can
protitably use it for storing bran,
though it is very bulky in proportion to
its cost, and for that reason room for
it cannot be afforded where storage is
xpensive.-American Cultivator.

months, and the battle of Chatta-
pooga was fought. This was followed
by a period of rest from fighting for
most of the army until the opening
of the Atlanta campaign in May.
after the battle of Besaca the
march on Atlanta was almost con-
tinuous sllirnish. After the capture
of Atlanta there was lull for the army
CT the Cumberland until the battles of
Franklin and Nashville. Our regiment,
which had expected to fight half a
dozen battles in as many months, real
iy participated in only eight BATTLES in
four years. At the utmost limit we
were in service AGO days. We spent IA
of these in actual battle, but this was
more than enough.
"When two armies came together in
battle it was like two strong, wrathful,
well-clad men, loaded with bundles,
meeting on Madison street bridge, and
springlng at each others throats. Bun
dies would be thrown this way and
that, hats and coats would go off. If
of the fight would be almost as exhaust
ed as the defeated, and as unfortunate
in the matter of clothes and bundles.

strength enough to walk away, his an

enough TO follow him. Chicago Inter

Potash for sugar Beets.

In several foreign experiments with
the culture of sugar beets noted by the
department of agriculture it was found
that whereas nitrogenous fertilizers in
creased the yield of beets per acre.
they also decreased the sugar content
and purity of the juice, but that the
application of potash and phosphoric
acid fertilizers improved the quality of
the beets. The greatest increase in
sugar was due to potash fertilizing.
Beets grown from large seeds gave bet
ter yields and were richer in sugar
than those grown from small seeds. 1t
was concluded that IA inches was a
good depth for plowing.

Another difficulty with those who
manage incubators is that they know
too much. They know more than the
man who made the machine, and do not

will have some whim, or make some

and they do not realize that they know
nothing at all until they spoil one or
two matches (for which they condemn
the incubator); but after awhile bet

never die in debt to "a man. If it dies
when weaned it has consumed nothing.
If it dies the first winter the wool will
pay for its keep up to that period If it

owner in debt to it, and if the ordinary
course of wool production and breeding
goes on, that indebtedness increases
with great rapidity as long as the sheep
