narrowing Grain TO Kill Weeds.

While many of the perennial or
many-year weeds, such as Canada
thistle and quack grass, cause seri-
GUS damage after obtaining firm
foothold, yet the annual or one year
weeds are most abundant and cause
by farst the greatest amount of dam
age, The ANIMALS depend entirely
upon seeds for the continued life of
the plant from year to year. One
reason that the most of the weeds
are weeds, is that they produce such
quantities of seeds. It is said that
a single tumbling mustard plant
will. produce over million seed,
enough to seed several acres. With
all of North Dakota's weeds is seen
at once that every square foot Of
soil to the depth Of several inches,
contains a large number of seeds.
Every seed has in it minute plant
with more or less food material.
While in the seedy protected by
the seed coats, the young plant is
not liable to be injured. As soon
as the seed germinates, the young
plant has many troubles; the root
is weak and mot firmly anchored
in the soil, the green leaf surface is
small, the stem is very weak and
easily broken. The roots perhaps
do not &c, down more than an inch.
The stirring Of the soil to the depth
Of aninch loosens and displaces the
fine roots that obtain moisture for
the young plant. The wind and
sun soon dries ont the upper. inch
of the soil and the young plant or
Seeding dies in very short time.
If narrowing young wheat kills
only five weeds on every square foot
which would be q conservative esti-
mate in many fields, itwould mean
the killing Of over 200, 600 on each
acre, certainly large enough num-
ber to make itference in the sea
sons grain crop. The narrowing
that kills the weeds will not injure
thewheat aterially for the wheat
plant is rooted deeper than most Of
the weeds and the stem not 90 cas-
ilysbroken. This yisSnlot.the place
to advise in regard TO the kind Of
harrow or weeder to be used. One
prominent farmer inthe state .fas-
tens two weeders end to end, maxi |
ing one weeder "a foot long. With.
This one man can cover nearly fifty
acres in one day. It is possible
that the grain is liable to some In

out injury. Besides killing weeds,
the dust blanket formed by the har-

To Burn Dead Animals.

Farmers Bulletin 100, U. s. De.
Ipartment Of, Agriculture, gives 9
page On the very important subject
of the disposal Of bodies of animals
dying of contagious diseases. II
says: The most effective means
of disposing of such bodies are,
deep burying with the use of lime,
and burning. We advise the latter
method in all cases of death thru
blackleg, glanders, anthrax or hog
cholera. It is almost no trouble to
burn a hog,'a few sticks of wood
and quart of coal oil being su&-
cient to start the carcass to con-
suminR itself. A horse or steer can
be rolled up on four or five old fence
posts to make a draught under it,
and then with an old ak cut holes
to allow the pouring Of coal oil into
the abdominal cavity and lungs.
Two gallons will be about as much
as necessary in ordinary sized ami
mails. Let the body lay an hour to
allow the oil to permeate, throw on
a few arm loads of old boards or any
king Of wood, also few bundles of
corn stalks or some straw. Sprinkle
with another half gallon of oil and
.fre.''
B As rule, farmers are too care.
less in this matter; the effectual
disposition of such bodies would
do much to prevent the recurrence
Of many contagious diseases.

Doctors at Panama.
Private Secretary.

Not only the engineers, but also the
doctors, will have much work to do in
connection with the construction Of the
Panama canal. The health conditions
in the vicinity are very bad-it would
be difficult to find worse. The Chagres
fever which is peculiar to this region
being named, indeed, after the river of
that name-prevails constantly and is a
very serious menace to the lives of men
from the north. am confident that it
can be stamped out, but this will be a
difficult task, well worthy of the efforts
of the best medical ability in this coun-
try.
The climate itself is not unfavorable
to health. The danger lies in the
swamps on the coast and in the abso-
lutte lack of sanitation in the towns.
The swamps will have to be drained
and civilized sanitary system put into
operation. This work must be put un-
der the direction of a medical man of
firmness, sound ideas and strong eX-
ecutive ability. Though the manual la
Dor on the canal will be done by accli-
mated natives, a large number of men
from the United States VIII be en-
ployed as superlntendents and for other
work requiring skill and education.
Many young American civil and
mechanical engineers are looking to
Panama for opportunities, and there
viii be places for considerable proper
tion of those who want them. The lives
of these men are too valuable to be
sacrificed to unhealthful conditions that
can be remedied. Some Of the first and
most important undertakings in the
canal country must be prosecuted by
hys1cians-Success

Il Patriot.

'T reckon, my friends" began a
somewhat moss-grown, but eminent
ly astute candidate for the Arkansas
Legislature, addressing an outpouring
of the toiling masses of lizard County,
that everything that was worth say
in-and considerable more, too
about the tariff and silver and the
inickertous trusts, and all such as
that, was said before / broke into the
political areny. so I'll just remark that
if I am elected I'll be too busy at
tendin' to my duties to do more than
come back here after a spell and make
you-all a sort Of speech of thanks; but
If I amt elected I'll have plenty Of
time to make you two long speeches,
and mebby more, and kiss all the
babies, and otherwise prepare the way
for being elected the next time. That
is all I've got to say at present. ex-
cept that I am in your hands from
this time forth. and the keg is over
yonder in PUNK Sagg's barn right
now. A word to the wise is, or ort to
be, sufficient. 1t is almost redund-
ant to add that this broad-minded
patriot was at election time rushed
into the Office he craved with all the
whoop and eclat of a cattle stam-
pede.-Puck.

Lincoln and the Children.

Senator Dubois delivered an address
at the Soldiers Home in Boise, Idaho,
recently, in which he related some per
scnaI "reminiscences of Lincoln, which
throw a strong light upon the lovable
character of the martyred President
I'm my boyhood," said Senator Du-
bois my family lived almost directly
across the street from Mr.. Lincoln He
had two sons, William and Thomas
nicknamed Tad who were about the
same age as my brother, DR.. Jesse k''
and myself. We. with the other boys OF
the. neighborhood, used to gather on
Lincoln's corner in the summer even
ings and play the usual games OF boys
until bedtime. Often Mr.. Lincoln would
romp with us, and we were perfectly
safe in playing jokes on him. IneFe
was one prank which never failed 10
be great sport for us.
THE front fence of Mr.. Lincoln
Springfield home, then and now, was
about three feet high and stood ON
brick wall, which was about fve 1eet
high. Almost directly in front OF the
steps leading up from the sidewalk 10
the house was a tree planted by MT
Lincoln himself, which still STANDS
there At that time it was about Is or
20 feet high.
Mr.. Lincoln as 1 recall, invariably
wore a high hat, commonly called a
plug hat. During the time Of his
great debates with Douglas and just
preceding and after his nomination for
the Presidency Mr.. Lincoln was much
preoccupied in mind. When at home
he usually went up to the State House
after his evening meal to consult with
his party associates. He was quite
regular in his habits and usually came
back about $50 in the evening. His
habits were so we'll fixed that the boys
could calculate on his movements, and
we tied a string from the tree to the
fence at just such height as to strike
Mr.. Lincoln's plug hat about the CEN
ter. We hid ourselves behind the fence
in the adjoining yard, behind the wall
around the corner, and in various
places.
When Mr.. Lincoln. with his arms
folded behind his back and evidently
in deep thought, would be suddenly
aroused by having his hat knocked on
by some unseen power we would raise
a mighty yell. rush out from our hiding
places, grab hold of him wherever We
could find place and shout for joy.
All his serious thoughts would vanish
instantly and he would laugh and romp
with US, and not unfreeuently march
up the street with all the boys cling
ing around him until he could find a
place to buy us some nuts or fruit.
When a boy 10 years Of age 1 was
one of the great crowd of his neighbors
and friends who assembled at the
Wabash depot in Springfield in Febru-
airy, 1861 and heard him bid farewell
to his neighbors and friends in a speech
tinged with sadness. but with Christian
hope"

Firing at PaSteb0ard.

A series of interesting firing trials re
Gently was undertaken by the Swedish
Government The purpose of these ex-
periments was to examine the effect OF
shooting against pasteooard. The trials
were conducted on the wharves Of the
Swedish navy in KarlskrOns, and the
target used was a prepared one of mill
board. against which fire from revolv-
ers, rifles, carbines and machine guns
was directed. The pasteoOard, which
was three inches thick, resisted COM
pletely the bullets fired from the small
arms, but was perforated by the pro-
tectiles from the machine guns The
experiments may be said to have given
very interesting results. Bullets from
the carbines used are able to penetrate
wooden planks five inches in thickness.
but they could not penetrate the paste
board, which was only three inches
thick.-New York Tribune.

Mnkden. the Sacred City.

In the eyes of the Manchurians
there is but one Holy City in the
world. 1t is Mukden. where are the
ineffabIy venerated tombs of the
ancestors of the imperial family of
China.
Among Chinese. Japanese and
Koreans the most sacred objects are
the family graves; their most cher
ished personal possessions are the me-
mortal tablets on which are inscribed
the names of those buried in these
sepulchers. The worship of their
fathers fathers is at the bottom Of
their souls the one fundamental and
abiding religion.
East and north of the city of Muk-
den lie the imperial tombs, among
them those of the father and grand
father of the first Manchu Emperor
of China and of others who have sat
on the great dragon throne.
IT was about the middle of the sew
enteenth century that the Manchu
Prince of Mukden swooped down on
the north of China and in a decisive
and sanguinaTy battle at Shanhai-
kwan overthrew the power of the last
of the Emperors of the Ming dynasty,
placing his own line upon the throne
of the Middle Kingdom" For the
greater part of the period covered by
the reigns of the Ming sovereigns
Mukden was a small. unimportant
town; it rose into prominence after
the Manchus had made it their ca.pi-
tai, and though the victors soon aban-
doned 1t for Peking it steadily in
creased in size and population. Sur

All Dead.

sends extracts from letters received in
Blantyre from some of the British Cen
trail African natives at work in the
johannesburg mines. One of these
missiyes. written on the official note
paper Of the East Rand Proprietary
Mines, limited. is interesting as show
ing that the laborers do not like the
work, and that they are warning their
fellows not to leave home for the South.
The writer says:
please, Alamu, do not come here. It
is dreadful. We are all dead. Here
there is not much money If you re-
ceive 80 shillings it only equals 10, and
that is all its value here
To a younger brother he writes: But,

my brother, if you see a white man

you Come. let us go to johannesburg,
you must not consent on any account.

GARDEN, LONDON, May 21.-As all
sorts OF rumors have been flying about
in the past weeks regarding the possi-
bility Of a visit OF the Archbishop. of
Canterbury to the United States,
ventured to address letter TO the
Archbishop, and have received the fol-
lowing reply from his private secre-
tary:
Lambeth Palace, S. E, May 1s, 1904.
Dear Sir: The Archbishop Of Canter-
bury desires me to say in reply to your
letter Of the 18TH inst. that there is
really nothing more to add at present
upon the subject of your letter than
that his Grace has received a very
cordial invitation to attend the con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in America next October, and
that he IS giving the invitation his
very careful consideration. Everything
depends upon the Archbishop's public
duties in England during the summer
and autumn. Yours truly,
