In permanent pastures weeds seldom
are troublesome during the ordinary
year if the pasture is well established
says the American Agriculturist. But
some seasons the pests seem to get a
start and thrive in spite of all that
can be done. Frequently ragweeds will
come up in bluegrass sod and prove
a great annoyance. Where pastures
are top-dressed seeds of dock and this
tie are often distributed and get a
start, no matter how careful the farm
err NAV be.
To control these weeds the methods
must conform to the character of the
pest. If ANIMALS, run the mower over
the pasture before seed is matured.
This will probably have to be, done
twice during the season, once in July
and once in late August of early Sep
TENDER Most farmers get along with
one moving, allowing the weeds to
blossom, then cutting before the seed
is formed. This may result in a kill
ing out of the weeds, but to allow them
to grow so large before cutting is
Objectionable to stock feeding in the
pasture.
If the weeds are biennials or peren-
malls the only plan short of breaking
up the grass land is to go over the
field with a Sharp hoe or spud and cut
the weeds off just below the surface
of the ground. Careful work with COM
mon thistles, mullen, burdock and the
like will result in satisfactory control
Perennials with underground root
stalks, like Canada thistle, are more
difficult to manage. Not only must
seeding (where seed is formed) be pre-
vented, but leaf growth must be kept
down so that the stems will be smoth-
cred. The leaves are the lungs of the
underground stems. If they are de-
stroyed persistently the plant will per-
ish.
Where a pasture is badly infested
with perennials having underground
stems, such as Canada thistle, quack
grass, bindweed or morning glory,
about the only way to destroy them
is to break up the pasture and de-
vote it to cultivated crops for a few
years. If very persistent. sow to small

1t has been asceltained that on a soil
well supplied with humus the mois-
ture may be conserved even through a
severe drought and fair crop of po-
tatoes produced, says the Farmers Re-
view. The great Importance of thor
ough tillage is recognized, but it has
been demonstrated that intensive TIL
lage alone is not sufficient to produce
a large yield of potatoes. Intensive till
lage may be over-done. During a
drought only so much tillage is neces-
sary as shall keep the surface soil loose
and thoroughly dry. The drier the sur
face layer of soil TO- more slowly will
moisture be absorbed by it from the
layers of subsurface soil. Some far
mers have adopted the practice of har-
rowing potato land before the plants
appear above the ground. This practice
seems to be a wise one and has gen.
orally given good results. One expert
ment station reports that the use of
Bordeaux mixture on the potato plants
in nearly every case resulted in an in
creased yield of potatoes, even when
blight was not present, and thorough
spraying with this material is recon-
mended as a practice to be encourage
ed. A grower says: There is no royal
road to success with potatoes. Methods
of procedure that are applicable at one
season must be modified to meet the
requirements of another season. Treat
ment of one soil might be radically
wrong when applied to another soil.
Success will be attained only by a
thorough familiarity with the plant
and it's habits of growth. and then con-
dltions must be made to meet as COM
pletely as possible the requirements of
the plant

Lessons From nronth.

An old saying has it that its an ill
wind that blows nobody good" says
the Farmers Record. 1t would re-
quire stretch of the imagination, per-
haps, to see good in the evil which
befell the agricultural community last
summer and fall when arid winds and
cloudless skies blighted the green
things of mother earth and dried up
her well springs. Rain fell so seldom
that crops shrivelled where they stood,
and it is a matter of history how
scarce feed became and how insignifi-
cant where the numbers of corn ears
that ratified into empty cribs. Where
the golden grain had always before
been plentiful and the standby of the
hog raiser it had become scarce and
dear and swine had to squeal unheed-
ed and exc out a living on all sorts of
folders and makeshifts other than
their wonted meals of corn. The result
could be fcretold in lighter hogs when
market time arrived and lighter
purses which, however, suffered less
than expected, owing to the high price
received for such hogs as farmers were
able to sell. There is an aftermath of
this dry spell, however, which is we'll
worth recounting and considering
well worth remembering next fall when
corn again promises to be a fair crop
1t is seen in the fact that swine have
remained exceptionally healthy this
year. Where cholera was wont to dec
innate the pens little trouble has been
experienced. In Ohio for instance,
where cholera has been the bane of the
swine breeder, he has had little to
complain of on this score since corn
proved scarce commodity. We shall
not say that the lack of corn alone eX-
plains this good health period in the
history of swine. 1t may well be that
climatic influences have also had their
effect in the same direction-that dry
weather has fought the germs of dis
ease in the same way as frost or better
still has tended to actually destroy
germs rather than lock them up for
future reference. Be this as it may, we
must concede that lack of corn has ten
ded towards more natural methods of
swine feeding and disease has appear
emily lessened as a consequence. We
have the more confidence in making
this assertion when we see also that
this spring calf cholera is less preva-
lent than we ever remember it to have
been. We have noticed in the past
that the calves of richly fed cows We're
most prone to suffer and fat cows of
the beef breeds gave most trouble in

on corn during the winter and preg-
macy and gave birth to calves unlike
themselves in that they We're puny at
birth, weak in constitution and ready
to die. Changing from corn feeding to
nourishment on bran and ground oats
has been proved to be a feasible plan
of preventing scours among the calves
of the beef bred COW. Corn has been
scarce since last fall and cows have
had TO subsist upon other grains and
folders and their calves apparently

condition physically and milk has been
of quality less liable to cause disorder
of the digestive apparatus. Is there
not in all this a lesson to be learned
for the coming year? We think there
that the Farmers Review has been
hammering at for years, viz, that all
animals should have complete rations
of natural food with due amount of
daily exercise in the open air if they
are to remain healthy and raise
healthy young. A plethora of one food
does not feed 1t affords a surplus CT
one requisite which becomes a foreign
body and positive detriment to the an
imal. This dangerous surplus if sold
would more than pay for the lacking
elements in the daily rations of all
animals. 1t is little more trouble to
provide the necessary complement of
foods in a complete ration. 1t is an
easy matter TO feed swine and other
animals less corn, less fattening ma
ers. 1t pays to feed the latter and so
grow fully developed strong, healthy
swine. The past season has shown
this and disease has taken the hint
and apparently accommodated itself
to the circumstances. We have not
the slightest doubt that this year with
its great crops of green food and prom
Use of sufficient grain food for winter
will prove as healthy as any year ex-
perienced and that feeders will bene-
fit by the lesson taught them by the
drought.

strong Tory party composed chiefly
of men devoted to mercantile pursuits.
Farmers have mainly fought the bat
ties of this country, and have preserv-
ed the liberties of the people, which,
but for them, would have been subvert-
ed long ago. 1t will, be a sorry day for
this country when the balance of pow
er is taken from the farmers and plac-
ed in the hands of those devoted to
commerce and manufacturing by rea-
son of prepondera ting numbers. The
farm home is the nursery of freedom
and freedom cannot exist without it.
1t is, perhaps, as much the home as
the farm; but there is d vast differ
enee between the farm home and any
other home The farm home is the
source of SuStenance and a field of
pleasure as we'll as labor. The farmer,
owning his home, Is a limited monarch
whose domain extends on every side
to the lines called for in the fee sim
pie deed. He serves not another for a
monthly stipnd. but directs his own
labor for his own purposes, and is not
amenabe to outside pressure or influ-
ence. His manner of life teaches in
dependence and inspires self-confidence
and love of home, so that when his
home or sovereignty is threatened he
is ready to defend both, and to the
last extremity if necessary. The pa
triotism of farmers is easily accounted
tor. The farm home feeds, clothes
and educateS, and all of life that is
worth possessing comes to the farmer
and his family from the soil he culti-
Yates. If an infant instinctively loves
the bosom that nourishes it, the far
mer must similarly love his home;
and love of home is love of country,
or patriotism. other homes than those
of farms, are merely places where the
occupants eat and sleep. They may be
beautiful, artistic and all that, but
they lack the inspiring elements that
are the chief virtue of the farmers
home.

New land contains a very large
quantity of vegetable matter. and as
Il result is very loose. The soil is fire.
quently of a dark color, which is pro-
duced by the decaying leaves and 9TH
err vegetation in it. To the casual on
locker it is very fertile. 1t contains
certainly one of the essential elements
of fertility, an abundance of humus.
The presence of this humus improves
its mechanical texture, and so changes
it that the soil will retain heat, mois-
ture and plant food. But it is possible
for soils to contain too much vegeta-
bic matter. especially If this matter be
not well decayed. This explains why
much virgin soil is not very productive
at first. On most such grounds and
with most crops the yield on virgin
soils will increase annually for four or
five years, at which time the humus
has been fully Incorporated with the
other elements of the soil and has lost
its sources. The humus will thus help
out in the years to come, though 1t
may be an element that retards the
crops at first. Corn is said to be well
adapted to new land. though generally
the stalks develop much more readily
than the grain during the first year or
two. One of the reasons why corn is
especially adapted to it is that it can
be handled on rough land, much more
readily than can some. other crops. The
kind of cultivation required by corn
helps to fit the land for other crops.
After a number of corn crops the land
will be adapted to the growing of other
crops, like the small grains, grasses or
vegetables. Among the crops most SER
viceable on new land may be named
clover. Upon such a catch is almost
always assured. The largest varities
will prove the best, as they will occupy
the entire area and prevent the root
ing and sprouting of weed seeds.

Farmers have always resisted oppres-

task ever undertaken by a nation is
the conquest of an agricultural coun-

conquer a few Dutch farmers and
stock-raisers in South Africa. A
nobler resistance to aggression was
