Weed seeds in Grain.

Weed Seeds In Grain.
Several hundred samples of timothy,
alsike and red clover on sale by local
dealers in different provinces have
been analyzed at Ottawa. Ont. In
some 10 to 80 per cent by weight of
sand was found; 63 per cent of the
samples contained over two thousand
weed seeds per pound, a per cent over
five thousand and Is per cent over ten
thousand. Not more than per cent
of the samples were found free from
weed seeds. These facts are in line
with recent complaint from a Massa-
chusetts farmer in regard to the rapid
spread on his farm of new weed
with white blossom and a hot. bitter
taste" Investigation showed the pres
ence Of wild carrot, that pest of the
hay field In SO many localities. The
weed had first appeared In quantity
along the borders of field Of oats.
Better for the farmer to have paid
double price all his life for the best
grade Of seed oats from reliable deal
er than to have introduced such
weed in cheap grain seed. 1t costs
more to raise pedigree seed and to
raise it on clean land, but the result
is worth the difference. Better raise
ones own seed grain on the farm than
to buy hap-hazard at the store.-Mas-
sachusetts Ploughman.

DowIE's HosT.-As John Alexander
Dowie, prophet, preacher and politician,
ruler of theocracy created by himself,
CAPTAIN of industry and crusader, stood
on the rear platform of his palatial train,
which left Zion City yesterday afternoon
for New York, he looked more like a
Wal street fnancier than the leader of
igious movement. He was stylishly
dress ID. and his silk hat glistened in the
beams of the sun. ''May the Loid bless
YOU and all my people," he said simply
to those who were being left behind.
"May He keep watch over Zion in our
absence. May he bless our work for the
regeneration of the unrighteous of New
York. Peace be unto thee" And
from the assembled crowds came the
response: "Peace multiply upon thee. ="
Dowie's standing army of peace, nearly
4, 900 strong, with all the enthusiasm OF
crusaders OF the middle ages, but armed
only with the Bible and religious tracts,
is now on the way to establish the creed
of ''Eliiah the Restorer" in Gotham and
to petition at the door Of every house
that the dwellers reform their lives ac-
cording to Dowie's plan. Eight special
.rains over as many roads left at different
hours of the day. One of the trains will
90 by way of Washington, and the ex-
cursionists will try to hold services on
the steps of the Capitol. Failing ii
that, they will pray and sing at the foo
of the Washington Monument Of the
coming restoration by "Elijah."
