To Kill Bronze Grass

AS careful readers of Wallaces'
Farmer may have noticed, we have
not encouraged the sowing of bronze
grass in the humid sections for the
last year or two. While it makes
splendid meadow and fairly good pas
ture, growing as it does from the root,
it is not so easy to get rid of in these
sections when you don't have any use
for it. Like Canada thistle and quack
grass, and to some extent blue grass,
it spreads from the roots, and hence
in the humid sections may stay with
you longer than you want it. We
note from our Dakota exchanges that
it is as yet IN unsolved problem even
in the section of t%wenty-inch rainsall,
as to how to turn a bronze grass mead.

FARM NEWS and FARM LOBE
Macaroni
By GEO. b. DAILY

From upwards of twenty cents the
difference in price between Macaroni
and No. 2 Northern has gradually
sunk until it is at the present time
but seven cents. The cause Of the
gradual advance of Macaroni has just
lately come to light. The export de-
mand has done it. 1t is claimed on
good authority that 100000 bushels
have already left the northwest bound
for Mediterranean ports. The total
estimated crop in the entire north
west is but 1000, 600, so that if these
figures are correct one half the crop is
already gone. This being the case
there will be a good profit in holding
this wheat for seed as the acreage is
certain to be increased greatly the
coming year.

Men Who Make Clubs.

As to social clubs Of men, there are
two classes Of membership positive
and the negative. In an organization
Of a thousand members you will find,
probably, nine hundred and ninety.
nine negatives and one positive. This
n positive is seldom the president,
but nearly always the treasurer or sec.
rotary. 1t is he who regards the club
as his home, his family, his wife and
children. His whole heart Is wrapped
up In its success. He brings in the
new members and is always on hand
to shoulder burdens which the mega
dves Willingly impose upon him. he
never rebels, never protests, never CON-
plains. A club is a community of self
1sh interests, as a rule, and every self
ish negative agrees with every other
selfish negative that such and such a
man Is the ideal secretary, treasurer
or manager. A good secretary or
treasurer is seldom promoted; he Is too
useful.-New York Press.

Sheep Feeding

There is n industry that should
be more generally adopted by the
wheat farmers of this country and
that is the fitting of sheep for market
by letting them clean up the scatter
ed grain, the weeds and roughage that
otherwise goes to waste. A few
shrewd farmers in this locality have
been doing this for several years, very
much to their profit. George w. Dix.
on of Gem and the Boards of Aber-
deem have just purchased a thousand
head each from A.. M. Mitchell of
Lansing and have them now busy
turninGsthe scattered refuse Of their
farms into good money. Mr.. Beard,
in speaking of the matter, says thatit
is much to be regretted that the sheep
could not have been received as early
as September first. The frosts have
now killed the best Of the pasture
which the stubble fields would have
furnished for the-last sixty days and
which would have put the sheep well
along to the finishing up time. He
thinks a dozen or SO farmers should
pool together and send a buyer into
Montana early each fall to bring in
ten or fifteen Thousand sheep. They
need have their money invested In

The Potato Crop

Raising potatoes for market in Da-
kota by farmers who are fairly con-
venient to railway stations where
they can load a car on short notice is
proving year after year to be a pretty
profitable thing. The demand for
Dakota potatoes for seed at fair prices
has become the regular thing, but
this year this seed demand will be ex-
tensive and from a new quarter. Wis
consin potato growers are suffering
extensive disaster from potato blight
or rot and they are convinced that
they must have new clean seed. For
this seed they are looking our way
and this fact accounts partly for the
sharp demand that has sprung up,
causing within the present week an
advance of ten cents per bushel in the
local market.

oAeinSn "A Rurl

A good deal Of fraud is practiced in
selling antique "Kazaks," "Daghes-
tans" and similar rugs, for there are
hardly any Of these which are more
than fifteen years old. They are
'aged" artificially, but you must I'M
derstand nevertheless that these rugs
are well made Of the very finest woods,
and the native dyes used are pure
and good. When they have been mado
they are lent in the village to the
butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker'-to any one, in fact, in whose
house there is plenty of traffic. Here
the carpets are trampled upon and
made to look old. They are afterward
washed in a running stream and then
dried in the sun. And by these means
the rugs get an antique complexion
and a certain gloss which are much ap-
preciated. What may be called a
genuine antique" is thus manufac-
tured and sold in the bazaar for ten
times or twenty times the price for
which it could be bought in London

Rural Mail Service

By next June it is estimated that
there will be fully 5000 rural mail
routes in operation, giving service to
about 100000 people, and covering
close to a third of entire rural terri
tory. The government is actuated by
a very liberal spirit in making the
rapid extention that is being made in
this service. AS soon as a county is
practically covered the routes are re-
arranged so as to reach every farm.
This has been done in sever southeast
counties Of this state. Southern
Brown is pretty well covered by about
a dozen routes, the Columbia route
being the only one that extends north
of a line through the center. Alter
nate routes, running one way one day
and the other way the next, could
likely be secured for Westport,
Frederick and Hecla.

One of the Cluster,

A man is but a cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he is cut off from his
fellows. There is something in the sol.
idarlty Of the human race which can
not be accounted for in the sum total
OF all the individuals. Separation from
the mass involves a mighty loss Of
power in the individual, just as there
