DROUGHT WON'T KILL THEM.

One Of our noted agricultural scien-
lists states that a protracted drought
Kills off many kinds of noXious weeds.
Here is another instance where theory
gets knocked into a cooked hat by the
actual facts in the case. All weeds,
being indigenous to the country where
they grow, endure adverse conditions
far better than any of the plants which
are cultivated as crops. We notice
that none Of the so called weeds has
been eXterminated as a result of the
savage drought which fell upon the
Mississippi valley during July of this
year While it dwarfed their growth
to some extent, there is not mothers

tailed grass, one Of the very worst
weed pests of the west, and purslane

while burdocks, pigeon grass, morning
glory, wild buckwheat, sorrel, mus
tard, cocklebur and many others have
made q good crop of seed on short
straw. The fact is a man can learn
more of what is so by using his eyes In

ONE GOOD OLD WAY.

In the days of cur grandparents,
when there were no stoves and when
the cooking was done before the open
fire and in the outside bake oven. bak.
ing day was an important date in the
domestic economy of all homes. Then
II was that the goodWife did up all
the baking for a week, and so the
loaves of rye and injun bread, the pot
of pork and btans, the batch of pes
and cakes, We're all prepared and baked
at one heating of the oven, and right
choice, good food it all was. Today,
with modern stoves in partnership with
the frying pan and the baking powder
can, nothing is provided ahead and
each meal has to be cooked indie
pendently, greatly increasing the labor
of the housekeeper. We believe that
the old way, which compelled a baking
day once Il week, was a good thing
good for the housekeeper and good fol
the health of the family.

We are asked why more turnips are
not raised as stock food in the territory
comprised in the corn belt. The eli
matte condition which insures good
crops of corn are simply fatal to the
turnip, which must have cool. moist
climate to insure its perfect develop
ment. Thus England ana New Zealand
naturally become the great turnip pro
ducing countries The best turnips
produced in America come from Can
ada. We do not regard the inability
to raise turnips as a misfortune. The
crop involves much hand labor, and
corn ensilage will give all and more
than can be obtained from any root
crop. with infinitely less trouble in pre-
pairing and feeding.

with no rain and the mercury ranging
from - 10 1ud. - days of the time
registering above 100. But few types
of vegetation could endure this con
tinued degree Of intense heat. The
bloom was killed on the corn, cereal
grains were prcmaturely ripened. near
~ all flower buds blighted, only cannas
and geraniums seeming to be equal to
the test. The shrunken streams, burn
ed up pastures and scared cQrnfields
made sorry sight. We refer TO the
matter just for the purpose of showing
how small a variation in temperature
represents success or failure in agri-
culture From 80 TO 100 degrees of heat
is the making of the corn crop. while
a temperature of l 10 in the shade prac-
tically uses it up. Such degree of
heat can hardly be called tropical, for
it is seldom reached in tropical lati-
tudes. and even if reached is modified

The partial failure Of crops through
the west this season brings up the old
question Of the respective merits Of
share and cash rent. The tenant rent
ing land for cash and with an oat crop
OF 20 bushels per acre, and a fired corn
field, is in hard fix, and without ex-
ception such wish they had their farms
on a share rent plan. On the other
hand, the good crops of 1899 and 1900
gave the cash renter the advantage
over the share renter. Taking this sub
ject of farm tenancy as whole, we
believe that the share rent system is
the best for all parties. We would
neither LET q farm nor hire one on any
