THE VALUE OF WEEDS.
Leachfng Out and Are of Value
In other Ways.

Weeds have q value. The writer
once heard Prof. Bailey say that the
weed is the friend of the farmer, and
no man should want to get rid OF
q farm because it is weedy. He him
self had purchased good farm. at q
low price, because it had all run to
weeds and the former owner believed
that they were SO numerous as ia
greatly reduce the value of the land
But these same weeds had been keep
ing the fertility of the soil from leacn-
ing out, and had kept the ground in q
condition where it would not bake,
but would readily yield to the plow.
He simply turned all the weeds under
and got back the fertility they had
taken from the ground. Then he
planted to other crops and had re-
gained farm. -
We're it not for weeds, say after q
clover crop, the nitrogen ia the soil in
readiness for plant use would disap-
pear. AS it is, the weeds take it up
and hold it for subsequent crops. The
cultivation that is necessary to keep
down weeds is not time and effort
lost. The benefit to the crop culti-
waited is more than enough to pay
for the outlay. The additional effect
of conservation of moisture is not Ia
be forgotten.
Weeds are also valuable for the
work they do in keeping the land in
the hands Of the many. We're there
no weeds the cultivation of the land
could be undertaken on an immense
scale by men of wealth and mo-
nopoly in land would be possible. If
such & monopoly were attempted at
this time, the cost of keeping the land
clean would make it impossible to
keep it under control.-Farmers' Re-
view,

When House keepers Are Frightening
the Interiors of Their Homes.

Now that the backbone of this remarkable
winter is broken, housekeepers are remark
ing the dingy look of the home interior The
question of new wall coverings is up. Paper
is dear and short lived; kalsomines are dirty
and scasy; paint is costly. The use of such
a cement as Alabastine, for instance, will
solve the problem. This admirable wall
coating is clean, pure and wholesome. 1t

CHRISTMAS Boxes TO GO FREE
Gifts for Soldiers Serving Abroad to
BE Carried Without Charge.

Christmas packages for American sol
dlers serving abroad will be transported
by the government free of charge from
either San Francisco or New York. This
was done last year, and proved popular.
Those in charge of the army transports,
hawever, say that senders of boxes should
understand that perishable articles. such
as fruit and plum buildings, and fragile
packages, such as preserves, should not
be inciosed.
Boxes should not exceed twenty-five
or thirty pounds in weight. They should
be plainly marked with the name, com.
pany and regiment OF the soldier. and be
sent in care OF the superintendent of the
United States army transport service,
either at San Francisco or New York.
A transport leaves New York for the
Philippines on Nov. 5, and viii take
Christmas packages. but it will require
fifty days to make the trip, whereas the
voyage across the Pacific is shorter. Ex-
press or freight charges should be pre-
paid to San Francisco or New York.
Packages Cor soldiers in Cuba and Porto
Rico should be sent via New York.
