NEW k0XIOuS MEED law.

Among the new laws approved by the
governor and passed at the last session
OF the legislature is one that provides
for the cutting of weeds of all kinds
along public highways. The law, which
goes into effect July l, provides that
weeds Of every description along the
public highways shall be cut for a dis
lance extending at least 16 feet from the
center of the road on each side where
necessary or possible. Such weeds shall
be cut not earlier than July 20 and Aug
ust / OF each year and said work shall be
paid for out of the road fund, the same
as any other road work, provided that,
if the owner of the adjoining premises
shall cut the weeds required to be cut,
he shall be credited on his road taxes
with the cost of cutting the weeds, to be
determined by the road overseor.
All overseers shall file their bill for
roadwork with the board of township
supervisors in organized townships and
with the board of county commissioners
in the ~unorganized townships, but such
bills shall not be allowed until such
cutting of weeds is completed, and at the
same time bill is fled it shall be accom-
panied by an affidavit of the overseer
that the weed cutting has been done.

THE average cost of horse labor is
eight cents per hour, and the average
cost of man labor thirteen to fifteen
cents per hour for those hired by the
month, and twenty-five cents per hour
for harvest hands-according to the
United States department of agriculture,
which during the season of 1904 placed
an official observer in the Red RiverVal-
Icy for the purpose of finding tho actual
cost of farming. A farmer may get a
fair idea of how the different branches
of his business pay, by keeping an ac-
count of the number of horse and man
hours spent on it, and charging them up
at the above prices, besides the interest
and capital invested, seed, etc. A sys-
tenn of book keeping for the farm, along
this line, is being developed at the state
agricultural college.
