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

1t 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. Inc
weed that is buried is surrounded by AR
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 he 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
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
~ 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
a very large scale. But the ordinary
weed seed is much smaller and has far
less fertilizing material in it than has
lin of barley.
t is the peculiarity of most weeds
IL most of their growth is taken di-
re, .ly from the soil, and that both it
ano the moisture to make the plant food
solu lie are needed by growing crops,
EacL days growth of a weed among
hoed crops lessons the yield. If the
weed is left until late, its roots will be
so intermingled with those of valuable
crops that one cannot be destroyed
without uprooting the other. a little
care in destroying the weeds while
small will save much labor later. besides
the inevitable shrinllage of the crop
nmong which the weeds have been al.
lowed to grow.-American Cultivator.

SALT WATER BATHS.

For hand bath Ga bath given to the
body by use of the hands only, or by
sponge or cloth) place handful of salt
in a basin as ordinarily filled for wash
ing. Allow the salt to dissolve, or
hasten the action by stirring il with
the hand. The water should be as cold
as you have vitality TO withstand. Use
no soap. Battle the entire body. DO
not neglect the face and neck in the
free use of the salt water. This bath
has an exhilarating influence, tones
the entire system, and gives to the skin
a healthful condition that amply repays
for the time and trouble involved. If
used in the winter it will be an excel
lent preventive of colds, besides being
a substitute for face cosmetics. No
chapping, no roughness of the skin and
no clogging of the pores will trouble
the person who Systematically and reg
ularly takes a bath of this sort. Or
dinary table salt or rock salt will do,
but will not do so well. The sea-salt
contains medicinal properties not
found in the others. Whether one eX-

daily hand bath of cold or cool water,
especially in the summer, either upon

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 blowing.

The cat has served to teach mankind
ar all-important lesson concerning the
working of the stomach. The y rays
directed upon cats stomach have
demonstrated that any irritation or dis
agreeable nervous excitement arrests
the progress of digestion. DR.. Fritz
Lange, of Munich, who makes a special
study of the stomach, performed a
series of experiments, which resulted in
this interesting discovery. After the
cat had eaten the Y rays were turned
on, and DR.. Lange watched the animals
stomach through a fiuorescent screen.
Then he irritated the cat by placing a
live mouse just beyond its reach. DR..
Lange was able to observe that diges-
ton was absolutely interrupted by the
irritation of the animal Briefly stat
ed, the lesson for man is: Don't let
anything bother or interrupt your din
ner.

the agricultural college herd: Two
quarts fish oil, one pint crude carbolic
acid, ten ounces of oil of tar, one ounce
oil of pennyroyal, one quart kerosene,
All except the kerosene can be obtained
at any good drug store, and the cost is
but So cents gallon. Put it on with
brush, cloth, or in fine spray from
atomizer, about once in two or three
days. The cost is from one-half to one
cent head each day, and these flies and
all others will carefully avoid it.

When to HnX Mill Eoed.

At this time of year milleIs need all
their spare store room to hold grain,
and will sell bran and wheat mddlings
much cheaper than they can afford to
do later in the season. There is often
a 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 i'll proportion to
its cost, and for that reason room for
it cannot be afforded where storage is
Xpensive.-American Cultivator.

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
always follow directions. Each one
will have some whim, or make some
fancied remarkable discovery by which
he is to electrify the poultry world,
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
ter results follow and the operator is
somewhat satisfied.

Gently managed. a good sheep can
never die in debt to man. If it dies
when weaned it has consumed nothing.
If it dies the first winter the wool will

course of wool production and breeding
goes on, that Indebtedness increases

English secret Service hIoney.

The term ''secret service money" is
usually applied to fund placed at the
disposal of ministers to be expended
at their discretion, in promoting or
protecting the interests of the coun-
try. These moneys consist of 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
listers 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
as the collapse of the Fenian conspira-
tors, or of their later development, the
Irish Invincibes," 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.-Chambers Journal.

ECHOES FROM wIAoNA

Interest in the speeches at Wi
mona conferred, of course, in the
discussion between Mr.. Allen and
Go;aror McLaurin, and those who
looked for a stirring debate were
not disappointed. Our leaders
are already familiar with the sub
stance of the two speeches, but
those who we're present agree that
a report of a speech by Mr.. Allen
Is an impossibility, as it must lack
the dramatic action, the eloquent
play of feature. the sarcasm and
scorn of tone and gesture, in short,
the personality of the man him
self. One auditor, a gentleman
who has listened to almost every
debater of note in the United States
says that he never heard anything
comparable to the bitter and con-
temptuous scorn with which the
Governor was arraigned for his acts
of malfeasance, bis obvious effort
to conceal real issues, to pose as a
martyr and to mislead the public
and secure sympathy aud support
on unworthy, puerile, canting or
misleading grounds. Opinion is
divided as to the sympathy of the
crowd, but by far the majority of
