1t is interesting to note what the

TO KEEP DOWN WEEDS.
Fight Which the Farmer Has to
Make and How One Farmer
Does It.

In keeping down weeds l find it
best to cultivate as long as possible,
and sometimes when the weeds are
very persistent we sow COW peas in
the corn fields, as these COW peas are
low growing and improve the soil
some by adding nitrogen to it, says
J. K. Fulkerson, Of Jersey county, ILL
nois, In writing to the Farmers Re-
view. W. have been troubled some
with the morning glory or bind weed.
We find that a thorough cultivation
keeps it down, but another means is to
turn in sheep which will keep it eaten
to the root. This results in the root
dying. We have very few weeds in
our small grain fields, but frequently
have a good many in our hay mead
ows. If they are so abundant in the
hay as to- reduce its value we pick
them out Of the swarth after the cut
ting or pull them out of the field
sometimes before we cut the hay
The latter process is preferred. The
most stroublesome weeds in this 10.
calty are cookie burr, sour dock,
thistle and p~lantain. The state law
regarding weeds is in this locality a
dead letter.

Deacon Goodyear's
Wooing
81 HARRIEr A. Nash



Miss Lucretia Potter sprang from
her chair and hurried nearer the win
dow, hastily removing her near-to
glasses. and bringing the "far-offs'
down from the top of her head.
North of the low brick house
stretched the village cemetery, and
over the picket fence, from the ceme-
iery side, leaned a tall man with irony
: grey beard, in close conversation with
a slender woman on the garden side,
whose head and face were concealed
by a huge sunbonnet. Presently they
separated and she came slowly toward
the house, pausing to straighten a
stalk Of sweet-william which leaned
over the narrow path. When she en-
tered the sitting-room Miss Lucretia
was industriously piecing patchwork
by her own special window.
THAT you, Maria?" she said, with
out looking up. Maria assented. AS
she removed her s%unbonnet you saw
that her hair was glossy black and her
complexion clear. 1t was the common
opinion in Pineville that Maria Pot
ter held her age far better than Luz
cretia, who was two years her junior.
II saw Deacon Goodyear out in the
cemetery, Lucretia," she said, pres
emily.
"You don't say So" exclaimed Miss
Lucretia. :
Yes. He come down to the fence
to ask whether he'd better plant
snowballs or syringas at the corners
Of his. lot. Poor man! He don't seem
to be getting over C~zarina's death a
mite. He spoke real feeling about his
getting along alone and said he

Hes met with a great loss. Czarina
was a good woman, though If l do say
1t, she always seemed kind of stand

thoughtfully.
well maybe twas natural. OF
course she couldn't help KNOWN how
much he used to be here"
Here Miss Lucretia blushed family
and Miss Maria looked conscious.
Deacon Goodyear's family lot in the
cemetery had been carefully selected
near the side of the yard, because, as
the deacon said, "Czariny always liked
to be on the "aidge' Of things. The
middle hadn't no attractions for her.
In his desire to humor this phase of
her character, it never occurred to him
that Czarina might have preferred to
rest a little further from the Potter
homestead. The deacon himself, as
time went on, found the proximity
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1906-06-12

quite pleasing. 1t was very convenient
in his frequent visits to the ceme-
terry, to lean over the fence where Miss
Maria was usually at work in the gar
den and seek advice on any point Of
household economies with which his
masculine brain was inadequate to
cope. And the conferences led to an
occasional exchange of courtesies, such
as pumpkin pie on Miss Maria's part,
or a kindly offer from the deacon to
empty the soft-soap leach.
Autumn came on apace. The naples
In the Potter yard fiuttered their Grim
son leaves down upon Czarina's grave.
Miss Maria exchanged her sunbonnet
for a hood and hurried preparations
for winter.
Invitations to Thanksgiving began
to come in, for the Potter sisters were
popular in Pineville; but to her sisters
surprise, Miss Maria announced her in
tention of making a Thanksgiving at
home.
I'VE might invite Deacon Goodyear
over?" she said.
MISS Lucretla grew impatient.
We'll, Maria Potter, l like your con-
sistencyl" she asserted. Invite him
to dinnerl Where's your chaperon to
come from?"
But Miss Maria had thought of that.
They would also invite the little school
teacher, who was the widow of their
nephew. And, in spite of Miss Luz
cretia's objection that she didn't think
widows we're allowable for chaperons
and that Lizzie was only "a, Miss Ma
ria, as usual, had her way.
The dinner party proved in every
way a success. Lizzie, whose only
home was a boarding house, accepted
the invitation with such delight that
the SISTERS felt a little guilty, and
agreed that 1t was not necessary to ex-
plain the capacity in which she was to
serve. Yet she unconsciously acted
her part to perfection. AS for the dea-
con, he confessed to Miss Maria that
1t was the first meal of victuals" he
had really relished since Czarina died.

aunts' frequently that winter, much to
her own enjoyment. 1t was very pleas

FARM NOTES.

A man should have cool judgment to
run a gasoline engine properly.
II does not pay to have the pastures
fed too closely, as that produces a thin
sod.
An acre Of potatoes well cultivated
Is more profitable than two acres hall
neglected.
No practical farmer can succeed
when the entire spirit of the family
Is for fun and easy living.
A thin sod in the pasture means that
the grass is drawing plant food only
from the soil near the surface.

Narrow pruning saw; long-handled
pruning shears (handles about two
feet long,; hand shears for small

Journal, may be added to the list. If
desired (see nursery and implement
