Hadrlan's Vail.

History would be the pleasantest
sort Of learning In existence If all the
nations OF the past had left memorials
such as the Romans have, and IL we
could take our cass-books afield and
read of events there where they actu-
ally happened. This thought occurred
to me last summer when | was bicycl-
ing alone in the wild. unpeopled fell
country which still separtes England
from Scotland. and came almost by
chance upon the remains of the great
wall which the Emperor Hadrlan built
to keep those lively gentlemen, the
Picts and Scots, out of the Roman
province of Britain.
| had read of 1t before, as every
boy has, and traced the long seventy
mile line of that wonderful fortitica-
ton on my map right across Northum-
berland from the Atlantic to the Ger
man Ocean; but it was just a line to
nue., as it probably is to you. And then
al of sudden that day, miles from
even a shepherds hut, l came upon
the splendid ruin zigzagging across
hill and vale as far as one could see
on either hand, solitary and forgotten,
yet impressive even In it's decay. 1t
was just as II | had tumbled right
out of this humdrum, latter-day world
right into the old one of emperors, per-
fleets, centurions, and all the gold and
glitter, the splendor and wrong doing
of that great empire which once en-
braced all the known world.-St

THE DUAL PURPosE COW.

A Minnesota dairyman who for
twelve years has been trying to build
up herd Of dual purpose cows says
he has failed and that the thing is a
practical impossibihty. The trouble
is that the heifers from such herd
will almost always take one tack or
the other-run to either beef or milk
and so are not dual. as desired Once
In awhile COW Is found which most
happily combines the qualities of both
meat and milk, but It seems to be al
most impossible to fix such strain
as distinguishing trait of breed.
The very makeup Of the COW tends to
defeat such an attempt. the good

FROST PROOF srRAwBERR1Es.

A friend in Colorado writes asking
us to name some varieties Of straw
berry which will be frost proof in June
and July on the highlands Of that
state, where he states they have a
frost every year in June and July. We
cannot help him out. for we know Of
no berry which, when in bloom or
when the fruit Is formed. will stand q
hard frost. He cites the fact that wild
strawberries grow there In abundance,
but neglects to state, what is probably
q fact that these wild berries grow
low down among other vegetation and
are to a great extent protected from
frost. The frost condition to which he
refers sometimes catches our crop of
berries in late May. and the best way
to prevent damage Is to start smudge

TREE PLANTING.

There are many mistakes made in
the matter Of tree planting. A very
common one where trees are being set
in the home lot for shade ana ,lecora-
ton is to set them in straight rows in
stead of irregularly in groups the best
pattern to follow being natures meth
cd Of artistic irregularity; then, the
trees being small, SO many seem to for
get they will grow to be large, and so
set them too near the house, only to
bury the house In a dense shade and
shut out the sun, and it is rare to find
man with sand enough to cut down
the handsome trees which he planted
twenty years previously. Then mis-
takes are made, and bad ones. in the
selection of varieties. No man ever
regrets planting white elm. hard
maple, white ash, a catalpa. Il blue
spruce or white pine II they are
planted in the right place. but tie
Lombardy poplar, the Balm Of Gilead,
the cottonwood, the box elder and the
willow very soon outlive their useful
ness; then 1t quite often happens that
one may combine profit and aesthetic
beauty by planting fruit tree instead
Of a deciduous forest tree. NJ tree is
better suited for lawn decoration
than the cherry, either tame sor will.
while the plum will brighten the lawn
with its bloom in the spring and re-
ward all who seek Its shade later on
with it's fruit. For street planting
probably no tree gives such general
satisfaction as the American elm. We
would not, however. discourage any
one from planting the poor varieties
II that is the very best they can Go,
for any sort Of tree is better than none
at all.

WHEN AND now TO PRIME.

1t is good time now to prune the
fruit trees where they need 1t. The
water sprouts at the base of the trunk
should be all removed; also all cross
limbs and deformed ones. A light.
fine toothed saw is the best tool for
this work, and It is good idea to
have little pot of paint along to give
the wound on the tree dab. Pruning
done at this season (May) insures the
quick healing Of the cuts, as the sap

pruning should never be delayed 90

Press Bulletin No. 10.

| GbSSS OulbGSIU lNV. Iys
This Press Bulletin advises
farmers to harrow their wheat,
oats, or barley crop after the
grain is up. 1t has been found
by many farmers that narrowing
kills a large number OF the small,
weak weeds. Theharrowing also
forms dust blanket which con-
serves soil moisture.
While many OF the perennial
or many-year weeds, such as
Canada thistle and quack grass,
cause serious damage after OBJ
tanning firm foothold, yet the
annual or one-year weeds are
most abundant and cause by
far the greatest amount of dam.
age. The ANIMALS depend en-
tirely upon seeds for the con-
tinued life OF the plant from year
i
to year. One reason that most
Of this weeds are weeds, is, that
they produce vast quantities of
seeds. 1t is said that a single
tumbling mustard plantwill pro
duce over a million sseds, enough
to seed several acres. With all
OF North Dakota's weeds it is
seen at once that every square
foot of soil, to the depth of a
few inches, contains a large num-
Der OF seeds. Every seed has in
it a minute plant with more or
less food material. While in the
seed, protected by the seed coats,
the young plant is not liable to|
be injured. As soon as the seed
terminates the young plant has
many troubles; the root is weak
and not firmly anchored in the
soil, the green leaf surface is
small, and the stem~is very weak
and easily broken. If the young
plant is disturbed at this stage
it is very easily killed. The roots
perhaps do not go down more
than an inch. The stirring oil
the soil to the depth OF an inch
loosens and displaces the fine
roots that obtain moisture forI
the young plant. The wind and
sun soon dries out the upper inch
of soil and the Young plant or
seeding dies in very short time.
If narrowing the young wheat
kills only five weeds on every
square foot, which would be a |
conservative estimate in at least
many fields, that would mean
the killing OF 100000 on every
acre, certainly a large enough
number to make a difference in
the seasons grain crop. The
narrowing that kills the weeds
will not injure the wheat ma
terially, for the wheat plant is
rooted deeper than most of the
weeds and the stem is not SO
easily broken. This is not the
place to aduise in regard to the
kind of harrow or weeder to be
used. One prominent farmer in
the state fastens two weeders end
to end, making one weeder "a
feet long. With this one man
can cover nearly fifty acres of
ground in one day. 1t is possible
that the grain is liable to some
injury when narrowed at a
height OF about one and one-half
inches. At a younger and older
stage it can be done without in
jury. Besides killing the weeds
the dust blanket formed by the
harrow helps to conserve the
soil moisture. L. r. Waldron,

Station.
