Mustard in Grain Fields.

The plant referred to scarcely neeos
description, as it is so common, al
though the accompanying illustration
will impress the reader with its iden-
tity. The flowers are yellow and the
leaves soft, somewhat resembling those
of rape, cabbage, turnips, etc; in fact
mustard belongs to the same family OF
plants as those named. 1t is one OF the
most serious of all the weed pests. This
is due to the fact that it ripens its seed
before most Of the cereals. so that the
ground is again seeded down for an
other year. But this is not all. The
seeds are so oily in their nature that
they have been known to remain in the

Flowing by Steam.

An exchange tells of an experiment
in blowing by steam near Lenawa
Junction. The field was about eighty
rods long, containing a little over thirty
acres. The engine was attached to a
four-gang plow, which turned burrows
about sixteen inches wide and seven
inches deep, and it laid them over very

minutes to make the trip of eighty
rods. with one short stop. The outfit

when buried so deeply as to prevent
termination, and yet after this time
have grown vigorously. 1t is because
Of this Characteristic that it is specially
important to prevent wild mustard
from seeding. In fields where the plants
are few in number the labor expended
by way of pulling them up by root
would be most profitable.
. Where it is not practical to pull out
mustard, owing to the large amount
present, it may be advisable to make
the cereal crop into hay rather than al
low it to ripen. If some such plan as
this is not adopted where fields are bad
ly infested with mustard it may be nee
essary in the near future to allow the
land to lie idle and adopt the summer
