THISTLES MAKE GOOD FEED
On Discovery of This Fact Obnoxious
Weed Ceased to Grow i'm
Kansas,

f. d. Coburn, secretary of the Kan
sas state board Of agriculture, issued a
bulletin two years ago in which he de-
clared that the Russian thistle, when
properly cured, made excellent feed for
stock. Since then the thistle has
ceased to grow wild in the northwest
ern part of the state, where It was
most plentiful at that time. In many
counties where it was common a few
years ago 1t has become extinct. The
Russian thistle a few years ago was
the most dreaded weed pest known to
farmers. 1t was said that if it once
started 1t would drive out all other
vegetables. Notwithstanding all pre-
cautions, the seed was brought into
northwestern Kansas with other seed
and the plant gained firm foothold
in several counties. The papers print
ed columns about the necessity of up
roofing it and the legislature passed a
law on the subject. but the thistle con-
tinued to thrive.
Then cattlemen in the northwest dis
covered that cattle eat it and they tried
putting up some as hay. The expert
ment was a success, as the cattle would
eat it in preference to most other kinds
of hay, and it produced good results
Now it seems that the weed is dying
out, since it has been discovered to
have merits.
A report from Wyoming says that an
attempt to cultivate the plant there as
a forage crop was a failure owing to
the wet season. 1t is said that in ordi-
nary years this weed can be raised in
large quantities on the Laramie plains,
as 1t fiourishes on extremely dry
ground. Cattle devour it eagerly.

WHY SPRAYING PAYS.
Use of Insecticides and FunEicideS
Made Absolutely Necessary
by Modern Conditions.

The canker worm, the tent caterpillar,
leaf rollers and other native leaf eating
insects find instead of an occasional wild
cherry tree, wild crabapple or wild plum,
whole acres of improved varieties OF
these, acres upon acres Of raspberry,
blackberry, strawberry anil grape. Grass
feeding insects find hundreds and thou
sands of acres of grassy plants more
tender and juicy than the natural
grasses. Is it any wonder that native in
sects, before confined to less number
of less fruitful trees, with an occasional
year that permitted almost no fruit at
all to grow, thus almost exterminating
them, should under such favorable con-
ditions as are offered by our present
system of fruit, vegetable and grain cul-
ture, thrive and increase in numbers,
far beyond what they would under less
artificial and less favorable surround
ings? We first create an environment
unnatural and vastly more favorable
than the original for the development
of insect enemies of our crops, and bring
about the very conditions that in state
of nature these insects prevent and then
wonder why it is that they do the most
natural things in the world for them to
do-fed and breed. Thus the spraying
of plants with insecticides and fungi
cides becomes imperative. to counteract
so far as possible the adverse effects Of
the present conditions "A agricultural

Reads Like a. Miracle,

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 3O--The But
Ter case still continues to be the talk of
the town. Mr. G. L. Butler, the father
of the little boy, says:-
"Thc doctor said my boy had disease
OF the spinal chord, and treated him for
two months, during which he got worse
he did not know What was the trouble.
The boy would wake up during the night
and say that he was dying. He would be
nervous and trembling and would want
to run from tie house, saying he saw ugly
things which frightened him. After we
had tried everything else, | read an adj
vertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles | purchased
some and used them until he had taken al
together eight boxes, when he was sound
and WELL with not a single symptom of
the old trouble. This was some months
ago, and | feel sure that he is permanently
cured. We owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills all
the credit for his restoration to good
health"

DIFFERENCE IN MILK.
Method of Selling by Measure Alone,
Regardless of Value, Is Radi-
caIIy Wrong.

According to a bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture. near
ly all milk used for direct consumption
Is sold by measure alone, regardless Of
value. This method is unjust to both
consumer and producer. The majority
OF people seem to think that milk is
milk, and that one quart is worth as
much as another, so long as it is sweet
milk The reason for this is partly a
lack OF knowledge as to what consti-
tutes good milk and partly because
milk is an Opaque liquid, and it is diff
tcult to judge its composition or food
value by appearance. Milk containing
high per cent. of fat is not only worth
more for food, but it costs more to
produce than milk containing a low
per cent. of fat, and its price should
be governed by food values Frequent
ly one quart of milk contains twice as
much fat as another, yet both sell for
tho same price.
No other commodity is bought or
sold with such disregard of food value
All milk should be sold according to
Its composition, and not only should
its exact composition be known, but
definite grades should be established
with corresponding value. Milk for
direct consumption should not only
have a standard of values, but of clean
liness as well, and should be produced
under inspection.
1t would be as reasonable to expect
to purchase three pounds of round
steak for the price of one as to buy
milk with eight per cent fat and that
with two per cent. fat at the same
price quart. Most of the states and
some OF the cities have passed laws
which make it unlawful to sell milk
below certain standard. This makes
the sale Of milk coming direct from
individual cows, that give milk low in
fat, unlawful, while it is good, whole
some milk and a perfectly legitimate
product when sold at its proper price.
But what is even worse, this system
prevents the man who produces rich
milk from getting the price he should
according to its food value and cost of
production. Milk containing a high
per cent. of fat is not only worth more
for food. but costs more to produce
than milk containing low per cent
of fat, and the price should be gov
erned by its composition and food
value, and not by it's bulk.
One hundred pounds of good milk
contains 81 pounds of water, four
pounds Of fat. five pouds of milk sugar
3.3 pounds of casein and albumen and
OF pound of mineral matter or salts
Most of the states and many cities re-
quire 3 or 3.5 per cent. Of fat and
9 or 9.5 per cent of "solids not fat"
The total solids" required thus vary
from 12 to 13 per cent, according to
different laws.

WATCH IN THE SPRING.

the JewcIer Didn't Grasp
the Situation.

While picknicking with a crowd in
the country the other day, says the Jop-

dropped his watch in a spring, and quite
naturally it has since refused 10 run. He
took the timeptece to jeweler, and the

"No; the spring broke the watch"
The man wondered, but proceeded to eI-

"The spring is broken" he finally an
nounced

watch in it."

the young man was certainly insane, and
just as he was glancng around for some
avenue of escape Arch explained the situa-

PURIFYING THE CREAM.
To Remove the Odor of wild
Onions and Bitter Weed
Is n Hard Job.

During the last three years consid-
cradle effort has been made to. find
means by which the odor and taste of
wild onion and bitter weed may be
removed from milk and cream, says
the Alabama experiment station. In
the spring of 1901 the writer was re-
quested to try patent compound
claimed to remove all kinds of weedy
taste from milk, but it proved to be
an absolute failure. Cooking soda
(saleratus) was also given a like
trial. but failed of the purpose claimed
for it by some people. Having failed
SO far to find anything that when fed
to the cows would remove weedy taste
in the milk. the next step was treat
ing the milk and cream. Bitter weed
taste was removed entirely from cream
by thoroughly mixing 1t with two or
more parts of water at any tempera-
ture above 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and
then running the whole through the
separator. Saltpeter dissolved in wa
ter was tried as an aid in removing
the bitterness, but as good results were
secured without it as with it. Rapidly
and slowly heating milk and cream to
various high temperatures did not re-
move bitterness, but often impaired a
cooked taste. Butter made from
washed cream (as above) was pro-
nounced free of all bitterness by the
station customers No means were
found to remove the bitter weed taste
from whole milk. In the spring Of 1902
milk and cream were treated for the
wild onion flavor the same as in the
previous year for the bitter weed
taste.
