Weed Seeds.

Every farmer should make himself
familiar with the form of weed seeds
that are likely to get into his clover
and other farm seeu. The experiment
stations recognize the necessity for
this and are doing some work for the
enlightenment of agriculturists on the
subject. A number of bulletins have
been published illustrating the differ
ent seeds. The weed seeds that are
given most attention are those that
are likely to be found in alfalfa, red
clover, white clover, crimson clover,
alsike clover, Japan clover, Bokhara
clover, yellow trefoil, esparcette and
serradella. To show to what extent
seed may be adulterated, Mr.. Hooks
of the Department of Agriculture, in
the 1894 year book, recites a case
where the sample sold as asparcette
analysed as follows: "Bromus mollis
"a species of grass worthless for
forage), "a per cent; weed seeds. per
cent; chaff, 8 per cent. and NO espar-

King OF Rat Catchers.

Thomas WORTHY, who has just died
in South London, was known as the
king of Rat-Catchers." With bulls
eye lantern at his belt, bag in one
hand and pair of tongs at the other,
he would descend nightly into the eel
lars of a West End hotel. A low
whistle or squeak would bring out a
swarm of rats. After dazzling them
with his lantern, WORTHY would pick
them up with his tongs, and SO dex-
terously drop them into the bag that
comparatively few escaped.

Law Books Bound i'm Canvas.

Topeka, Dec. 17.-Kansas is ab0utrt to
try an experiment. Kansas has always
bound its lawbooks in leather. A
Kansas publisher contends that leather
is not the proper binding; that it riots
quickly. He claims that canvas bind
ing is the most durable and is much
cheaper. In accordance with his
advice the attorney general will
recommend that the legislature pass
a law providing that all lawbooks
published after this be bound in can
vas instead of leather.
