DESTROY CANADA TRUSTEES.

There is state law that requires
the destruction of all Canada and
Russian thistles in the commonwealth.
The road supervisors are empowered
TO take such means to carry out the
purport of the law as will best serve
the purpose. The law specifically
states the responsibility assumed by
the occupier of the land and plainly
states that the road supervisor is au-
thorized and empowered to enter the
premises and to destroy these noxious
weeds at the expense of the rancher,
farmer or grower. The law follows ::
1t shall be the duty of every owner,
possessor or occupier of land in this
state to cut down or cause to be cut
down all the Canada or Russian thistles
growing thereon, so often in each and
every year as shall be sufficient to
prevent them going to seed.
If the owner, possessor or occupier
of land shall knowingly suffer any such
Canada or Russian thistles to grow
thereon and seed to ripen he shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof be liable to a fine
of not exceeding twenty dollars for
each offense and costs of prosecution.
1t shall be the duty of each road
supervisor in each road district in
this state to see that the provisions
of this act are carried out within their
respective districts, and he shall give
notice to the owner, possessor or oc-
cupier of any land within his district,
whereon Canada or Russian thistles
are growing, requiring him to cause
the same to be cut down within ten
days from the service of such notice,
and in case such owner, possessor or
occupier shall refuse or neglect to cut
down the said Canada or Russian
thistles within the said ten days, then
the said road supervisor shall enter
upon the land and cause all of said
thistles to be cut down with as little
damage to growing crops as may be
and he shall not be liable for trespass
therefor: Provided, That when such
Canada or Russian thistles are grow
ing on non-residents' land and the
same is unoccupied it shall not be
necessary to give such notice before
proceeding to cut down Canada or Rus
sian thistles: And provided, That
in the case of Canada or Russian this
ties growing on the right-of- way of
any rairload said notice required in
this section shall be served upon the
section foreman who has charge of
that portion of the right-of -way where
said Canada or Russian thistles may
be growing.
Each road supervisor of this state
shall destroy all Canada or Russian
thistles and prevent the same from
going to seed in the highways of his
district, and shall be paid therefor in
the same manner as in doing other
work upon the public roads.

Much Attention Given In France TO

century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
giving an annuity to the old, not, how

BASE LINE OF The EARTH.
Accuracy of Measurement Is Inter-
fered With by Difficulty Of
Obtaining It.

The science Of geodesy is making rapid
strides along the line OF accuracy ant
there is not much left to be perfected in
the way of method, says a scientific ex-
change. The all-important problem oi
modern, as we'll as ancient, geodesy, ol
course, is the measurement of the di-
mensions of the earth, which enters into
all practical work of surveying. naviga-
tion and terrestrial physics The Inter
national Geodetic association several
years ago undertook the problem, the
different nations having agreed to con-
tribute their share toward an accurate
determination.
The determination was undertaken at
Ecuador in 1901 and extended from the
Colombian to the Peruvian frontier, and
every possible refinement to attain the
maximum degree of accuracy was adopt
ed. The greatest difficulty is to secure
an accurate base line, which is compli-
sated by so apparently trivial a thing as
the expansion Of the measuring medium
The least refinement in the bar method
is that originated by the United States
coast and geodetic survey, using a single
bar immersed in melting ice, the con-
tanning trough being carried on a suita-
bic car upon temporary track.
Later still M. Guillaume discovered an
alloy OF GA per cent steel and 36 per cent.
nickel that possess an exceedingly low
ooefflcient Of expansion and, consequent
", offers the best medium for accurate
base line measurements. This alloy is
known as ~invar" and is usually en-
ployed in the form OF a wire supported
by tripods and stretched by definite
weight A very valuable piece of work
on the island Of SDitzenbergen was COM
pleted with the use of this alloyed wire.
Even the infnitesimal variation in
the force OF gravity at different portions
Of the earth is not too insignificant to
be disregarded and must determined

The Modern Method of Getting Out

Impressions.


Some years ago saw in an EIsiist
Journal picture of horse treadmil
engaged in threshing, and beneath II
was the device: Primitive Method Of
Threshing Still in Use in the Scilly Isl
ands" AS it was the same method
which we had always practiced | was
filed with mixed shame and resent
ment and shame, writes Ernest Crosby
in the Craftsman.
II was therefore with feelings OF
complacency that | received the sug-
gestion that this year we thresh our
oats by steam. The machinery arrived
in two or three ponderous wagons, like
a circus procession, and was duly in
stalled. Two men came with It, one to
run the engine and the other to feed
the oats into the machine, but it re-
auired small army Of local talent TO
bring the oats down from the bays or
the barn and to carry away the baskets
Of oats and the heaps of straw and of
chaff which piled up with miraculous
rapidity.
Br-r-r-rerrrri what hideous, noisy,
Althy machine! One OF the pleasures
Of farmwork Is that you can talk as
much as you like, but the din Of this
engine made conversation impossible
and gave you headache. We are
rather proud of our barn and consider
1t a substantial ediice, for it is built of
stone and measures 150 feet by so, but
this internal machinery shook it from
top to bottom like an aspen leaf
Farmwork is generally clean, but
you never know how much dirt there
is in ton of oat straw until you thresh
It out BY steam A little bit OF smut
makes the air black and you begin to
wonder if any soil was left in the field.
In a short time the men look like coal
beavers. their eyes turn red, their
throats raw and there is more or less
coughing
Horses are sometimes sensible ami
mails We brought out the refractory
ones and led them up as near as we
could to the engine, in order that they
might get acquainted with it, but they |
absolutely refused to cultivate friendly |
relations and every nerve in their |
bodies protested against the transform
alton Of barn into a steam factory.
And we had a little taste Of the bad
results Of factory work on the workers,
too,

but they had to work much too fast 10

was too much for them, and so was the
horrid noise and dust We threshed
(or "thrashed," as the native dialect
has it) for three days, but when It was
all over, on the fourth day. the men
looked as if they had been thrashed
instead of the oats and three were ac-
tually invalided, and the full force did
not report again for duty for two OF
three days
But apart from these highly practical
results Of steam farming. it was the ug-
iness of it which impressed me. Ughl
The memory OF it has half snoiied the
barn. It is as If we had called the evil
bne from Sheol to 10 our work and had
somehow sold our souls in the bargain.
From the bottom Of my soul hate ma
shinery.
