WEEDS IN PASTURES.
6he Only Way of Checking Their De.
veIOpment Is by Grazing
Fewer Head per Acre.

So long as the conditions in nature
surrounding the wild prairie grass re-
main the same they will continue to
grow in about the same proportions
and to about the same extent. Man,
however, changes natural conditions
violently. By breaking sod and put
ting in crops he opens places which af
ford room for strange plants, weeds,
the seeds of which are carried thence
to neighboring grazing land. Even
then they will not drive out the wild
grasses if the latter are left to them
selves. On the contrary, if farm is
abandoned, weeds may riot for a few
years on the broken land, but the sod
yetakes the soil eventually in the
prairie regions, and the weeds are
crowded out.
The most common cause of weed in
vasion of native pastures is overpas-
turing, whereby the wild grasses are
kept down 30 that they cannot COM
pete with the weeds. The latter, be-
ing unpalatable, usually are left I'M
disturbed by the stock. Sometimes
there are introduced weeds never
found on the prairie. as ironweed.
snow on the mountain or milkweed,
horseweed and thistle. Others are
tough prairie perenniais growing
among the grasses, but not spreading
greatly, unless the latter are kept
down.
Prevention of weed invasion of pas
lures is generally perfectly possible
by grazing fewer head per acre. Com
pare the number of weeds in prairie
pasture with those in an adjoining
piece of similar land not grazed. but
kept to be moved for hay.
What number of stock per acre can
be safely grazed depends on the re-
gion. In the "short grass" country IS
to 20 acres per head must be allowed.
In central or eastern Kansas two and
half acres per head is perhaps the
limit.
Every farmer can tell by observation
when weeds are coming in. If SO, it Is
q sign to reduce the number Of stock
per acre. Mp man can afford to raise
stock In such numbers that they use
up the capital itself (the land) by kill
Ing out the pasture grasses which
make 1t valuable instead of consum-
ing the interest only.-H. F. Roberts,
in Cincinnati CONCENTRATIONS.

FARMERS TROLLEY ROAD.
He Thinks, VIII Prove to BE
Very Popular.

The inventors seem to be striving
faithfully to relieve the horse of all
the heavy hauling which it has in the
past been called upon to perform. and
it is probable the day is not far dis
tant when pleasure drivers will be the
only ones who will find use for this
animal. The latest idea along this line
of horseless vehicles is the farmers
trolley road. which will make it pos
sible for the raiser of produce to come
to town with his Load, dispose of it and
return home without the aid of his
team, the electric current being made
