DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS.
They Are Propagated Either by Root or
by seed, Which Must BE Killed.

T;,ev Are Pronacated Either by Root or
by seed, Which Must BE Killed.
There are two classes Of weeds
those that come from seeds and those
which are propagated principally by
means of their roots. Weeds wnlcn
spring up from seeds can be destroyed
by successfully bringing the seeds IN
the soil to the surface. where they
terminate. The seeds Of some weeds
have great vitality and remain IN the
soil for years Some are inclosed IN
clods and are retained for another
season, but when the clods are broken
and the weed seeds exposed 10 warmth
near the surface, they are put out OF
existence by the harrow as soon as
they terminate. for which reason II Is
impossible to clear a piece OF land
from weeds In season unless every
clod is pulverized. The oft-repeated
inquiry. Whence come the weedsY'
nlsy be ANSWERED: From the clods,"
SAYS Inc Philadelphia Record The
weeds that spring from roots are cut
up, checked and prevented from grow
ing by frequent cultivation. because
they cannot exist for a great length OF
time unless permitted to grow. If no
leaves are allowed on such plants they
perish from suffocation. because they
breathe through the agency OF the
leaves. The advantages derived by
the soil in the work OF weed destruc-
ton reduces the cost OF warfare on the
weeds, for every time the harrow or
cultivator is used the manure Is more
intimately mixed with the soil. more
clods are broken. greater proportion
OF plant food is offered TO the roots.
the loss Of moisture is lessened and the
capacity of the plants of the crop TO
secure more food is decreased The
cost Of the destruction Of weeds should
not be charged to the accounts Of
single year only. rs thorough work
during a season may obliterate the
weeds entirely. or so reduce their num-
Der as 20 NIKE the cost Of their de-
struction during succeeding years but

The Potato t,ron.


A fair illustration of the difference
between an average crop and a good
crop may be found in the census re-
port of the potato crop. as given in
1900. The average crop Tor all the
States was placed at sos bushels per
acre The average n Vermont was 1874
bushels that year and in Maine 1876
bushels. The new land in Montana
aged the same as Vermont in 1900,
but they had 1876 bushels in 1897 and
ITO bushels in 1896. Nevada had 100
bushels in 1896 and 1876 bushels in
1900. OF the other States. there were
1876 bushels per acre in 1900 in Idaho.
116 in Washington, 10 in Oregon and
104 in California. The fact that Ne
vada and Idaho were the only States
that exceeded Vermont in 1900, and
Montana only equaled it. shows tilas
the stony lands of New England can
eqI1al the newly settled and exceed
ugly fertile lands of the Northwestern
States; and if the cost of manure and
Fertilizer and the labor of cultivation
is not as much there as here, there is
il gain in the better values that they
have here when ready for market

Potato Disease.

Potato disease, which is caused by a
fungus, first attacks the tops of the
plants and is conveyed to the tubers
by means of spores washed into the
soil by rain. To prevent the infection
of the tubers a grower recommends
running a pillow between the rows so
as to turn up a furrow on the top of
the hills, and then bending the plants
over the furTow. This causes the wa
ter which washes the tops to run away
from the hills. The furrowing should
be done on the Lrst appearance of the
disease, and as a further precaution
the crop should not be dug for at least
two or three weeks after the tops are
entirely wllted. A trial of this method
has given very good results.

and keeps up for about two weeks A
great deal of moisture is thrown off at
this time and sufficient ventilation must
be provided to carry it away. Roof
boards should be put on as soon as
trenches are filled, to keep rain out, but
the ends may be left open. AT the ap-
proach of cold weather it is necessary
to cover the boards with earth. The
thickness of this covering must depend
on the locality. If very heavy earth
covering is necessary, the rafters should
be placed nearer together.
Two essentials must be observed, suf-
ficient air to prevent rotting, and frost
must be excluded. II. Kent, in

Storing Celery fo,. winter.

When kept in quantities, celery re-
quires considerable room. An economi-
cal way to provide the necessary stor-
age is by the covered ditch plan.
Dig trench or trenches in well-drain-
ed soil, not more than four feet wide
and about two feet deep. Put board
partition through the center OF the
trench to divide the mass of celery and
prevent it becoming too solid. Rafters
of 2x4 stuff are set at 1-3 pitch four feet
apart. Make square box ventilators that
may be stuffed with straw TO keep out
frost in severe weather.

Killing HOES Cor Home Use.


Hogs from eight to nine months old
make the best meat and should weigh
from 200 to $50 pounds, writes an Indi-
ana farmer. Do not feed for twelve
hours previous to killing. Have every
thing In readiness for wOrk-kniYes
sharpened and all other utensils con-
veniently at hand and the place for
scalding and hanging arranged. In
sealding do not have the water too hot
This can be determined by the use of Il
thermometer. Before cutting up allow
the hog to cool somewhat, but be sure
and remove the fat from the entrails
while warm, as it can be done much
easier and with less waste than when
cool. Place the meat when cut up in a
place above freezing point so that the
animal heat may entirely pass out, after
which it is ready for sailing.
