Farmer Makes Old Provision
Against His Life's Enemy.

Hamilton. Ohio MAY 9.-IIatred OF
weeds, the obnoxious things that
had strived for fifty years TO choke
out his crops and to blemish his
lawn, became the ruling motive in
the life of John d. Maud, a rich
farmer, who died at Maud Station
Saturday.
In his will that was admitted to
probate here today, Mr.. Maud
sets aside "a 900 in money which
his executor is to invest in bonds
of the United States, state or coun
ty- The entire income is to be
applied to keeping the cemetery
free from weeds and all "noxious.
wild and disfguring piants.' Mr..
Maud also leaves $500 cash for
the special purpose OF seeing that
no weeds grow on the graves OF
himself and his parents.
The rest of the large estate goes
to his nieces and nephews. There
is talk among the heirs Of contest
ing the weed feature of the will.

wagon, the rope passes from one pull
ley toward the side of the barn floor,
then through a hole near the top of

The windlass may consist of six

holes for the insertion of levers used
in turning. The wagon being driven

USE PAINT FREQUENTLY.
The Farmer Who Does Not Care for
the Appearance of His Premises
Makes a Mistake.

The Importance Of keeping farm
buildings well painted is apparently
not appreciated as it should be. In
travelling about the country, great
carelessness in this respect is notice
able on every hand. Neat looking
houses, barns and other buildings de-
note thrift and good management,
while dilapidated weather-worn
structures give the place an air of
neglect or poverty, according to the
degree of decay. If farmer cares
nothing for looks, he should keep
his buildings we'll painted, because
it is good business to do so. Good
paint, in convenient form for use, is
now put up and sold at reasonable
prices. Anyone with sufficient en-
ergy to rub the paint well into the
weather checks, and interest enough
in his work to keep the paint thin,
can do good job of painting. A
thoroughly good brush is necessary;
this is a sure case of the best be-
ing the cheapest, as it will not only
enable man to do more and bet
ter work but good brush will last
longer than a cheap one. The fall
is the best time to do outside paint
ing, as it then has all winter in
which to harden slowly-whereas
paint put on in spring or summer is
sometimes injured with the hot sun
while it is fresh and soft.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

To the large number of stories of the
"meanest man" which are frequently re-
lated, one should be added of a certain
Frenchman, famous for his habit of grumb-
ling at everything and on every occasion.
He was attacked by infammatory rheu-
matism, and was carefully nursed by his
wife, who was very devoted to him. in spite
of his fault finding disposition. His suf-
fering caused her to burst into tears some
times as she sat at his bedside
One day friend of the invalid's came
in and asked him how he was getting on.

Importance of Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is rapidly growing in inn
factor in the enlargement of the
meat-supply, largely taking the place
of corn in feeding west of the Mis-
sissippi valley. The area is enlarg-
ing, and the first cutting of this
year is very large. Horses thrive on
it with little grain; cattle fatten on
it with finish of corn, and in its
use the, hog has become hay-eating
animal. 1t is, to an increasing ex-
tent, taking the place of range
grasses in the economy of the cattle
industry, and the change will cause
an enlargement rather than a de-
crease of the meat supply.

WHEAT STEM MAGGOT.
Emerge tic Preca uti ION Must Be Take
or This Destructive Pest Will
Greatly Increase.

The wheat stem maggot, or, as it
is sometimes called, the wheat bulb
worm, has proved to be rather seri-
Gus pest in some localities, and we
apprehend that some precaution
must be taken or it will greatly in
crease, says the Iowa Homestead.
It's presence may be easily detected
in a crop. When the maggot form of
the insect enters the stalk it cuts off
the stem just above the upper joint,
with the result that the head takes
on rlpened appearance while the
crop is yet green.
1t seems to be more plentiful
where both winter and spring wheat
are grown in the same locality. In
this case the mature insects with
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-10-17

wings deposit their eggs upon the
young plants of winter wheat. When
these hatch, the larvae feed upon the
central part of the plants on their
course downward. They remain dur
ing the winter in the surface of the
ground and appear in the spring in
the adult form. These in turn lay
their eggs upon spring wheat plants
and cause the destruction of such
plants as they feed upon. However,
the devastation of the first brood in
the spring is seldom noticed. 1t is
the second brood of flies whose
progeny brings about the work of
destroying the wheat beds. 1t is
claimed that even a third brood
makes it's appearance and again de-
posts it's eggs upon young wheat. 1t
is our opinion that grasses will fur
nish the necessary breeding ground
just rs well as winter wheat.
The accompanying illustration
shows portions of two heads of
wheat that have been affected by the
insect, as well as the pupa and larva
form and mature condition of the in
sect. These are magnified, and con-
ception of the real size may be OBJ
tanned by the. little character placed
beside each figure, which indicates
their exact length.
The available remedies for this in
sect are preventive rather than cura-
tive. Wheat should not be grown
continuously on the same soil, and,
indeed, long rotation should be in
troduced in which there are variety
of crops. We have known many per-
sons who were troubled with this
pest to burn their stubble, thinking
in this way that they brought about
the destruction of large numbers.
Fortunately there is fungous dis
ease that attacks this maggot and
fly, so that there is some likelihood
of it's rapid increase being prevented.

LIFTING ARRANGEMENT.
For Removing Bed or Ladders from
the Farm Wagon 1t Is Said to
Be UneIuaIled.

A good lifting arrangement for re-
moving bed or ladders from the wag-
on is herewith illus trated. To the
ioists of the loft over the barn floor,
at proper distances, are chained two
pulleys. Over each of these passes
a half-inch rope, one end of which
is connected with a stretcher large
enough to slip over the end of the
wagon bed. The upper crossbar of
the stretcher may simply have deep
notch at each end, just wide enough
to receive the rope. A knot in the
latter just below the stick serves to
hold it in place. The lower bar is a
trifie longer and has the rope Sc
curely tied at each end. Supposing
now that the stretchers are sufficient

tits more often, however, the cause of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seri ously de-
ranged by neglected cold. Diseases
of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.

Feed Corn on the Farm.

A heavy shipment of corn from the
farm is nothing to be proud of. 1t is
an evidence of poor farming methods.
Annual assessment levied on the fer
tility of the soilEand the proceeds
shipped away in that form, is ruinous.
We are meat-eating people. The
grain is but a small part of the corn
stalk. When corn is sold, the stalks
are in many instances worse than
wasted. If the corn crop is fed on the
farm and its equivalent sold in beef
and dairy products, the soil is continr
ually increasing in fertility.-Farm

STARTING THE BURROWS.
II the FIRST Are Crooked lit IL Hard to
Make Any Straight Ones
Afterward.

Good blowing requires knowl-
edge of the principles of soil turn
ing, and requires experience in doing
run carelessly or Incorrectly it will
be found exceedingly difficult to do a
good job. The blowing of old fields
is less difficult than the blowing of
new ones, for the reason that the
old fields have landmarks that are
easily understood. This is, of course,
true only if the blowing of former
years has been correct. 1t is a
somewhat difficult task to turn
straight burrows across new
field with nothing to serve as guide
but some object on the further side.
The skilled farmer should not in
trust the turning of the first fur
rows to the boy or the unskilled hired
hand. If the first burrows are
crooked it is difficult to make any
straight ones afterward. The best
plowman will find it difficult to cor
rect the errors of his predecessors:
Even the skilled plowman will not
find it an easy matter to run the
first furrow straight ahead of him
and keep his team well under con-
troll. If the field is to be plowed on

added reason why the best plowman
on the farm should take the mat
