What Is a Weedp

Merely plant for which the own
er of the land has no particular use,
or of which he has not found the eco
nomic value. Many of the so-called
weeds are plants that in the future
will be recognized as having great
Miue, both as producers of medicine
and also as food plants. 1t is not
so very long ago that the tomato was
a weed. 1t is now one of our most
valued food producing plants. Yet it
promises little in it's wild state, and
was at first cultivated because its
red fruit increased the beauty of the
garden. For the next thousand years
or SO man will go on evolving val.
liable plants out of our weeds.

RAISING TREES FROM SEED
How It Can Be Done Successfully
Budding and Grating to
Improve Stock.


II is a very easy matter for farm.
er or fruit grower TO raise his own
trees from the seed and to propagate
choice varieties. Seeds of stone
fruits, including peaches, plums and
cherries, many be planted in the fall
by sowing thinly in rows three feet
apart and covering one to two inches
deep. If there is danger of squirrels
digging up the pits store in wooden
boxes covered with wire and bury in
the ground until spring.
Apple seedlings make good roots in
all localities. The most satisfactory
way is to purchase apple seedlings
and bud or graft them. Practically
all pear stocks used in this country
are imported from France. Dwarf
pears are grated on ounce roots, but
all varieties do not thrive on this
stock
Several species of plums are avail
fused subject and should be selected
according to the variety and locality.
For most European varieties the My
robalan stock is used, This is also
adapted to Japanese sorts These are
frequently propagated on peach
stocks. as they make more rapid
growth and thriftier trees for the
first year or two. On any stock they
are a short lived tree
Seedlings of whatever kind will sell
dom come true and the common ways
to propagate varieties are by budding
and grating. Both methods are en-
ployed with apples, the seeding roots
are cut into pieces five to six inches
long and united with the scion by a
whip graft. This is then wrapped
with waXed cloth and the grated
stocks packed away in moist sand or
moss until spring, wien they are
carefully set in nursery rows. Bud
ding is commonly done in July or
August; in the south June budding is
practiced to some extent with
peaches.
After one full years growth in the
nursery row, says Farm and Home,
peach trees are ready to set in the
orchard, Dut most otner trees require
two or three years before reaching
sufficient size. In fact, apples may be
transplanted after growing two years
and again transplanted two years
later before setting in the orchard
Rich, deep and mellow soil should
be selected for growing all kinds Of
nursery stock. 1t should be heavily
fortified the year previous to plant
ing and hoed crop grown. 1t is un.
safe to use rank manure around
nursery stock. The cultivation must
be thorough and frequent, weeds kept
down and growth forced and stimu-
lated as much as possible. Cut off
the leader when 1t has reached proper
height to form head.

Indla's Cotton Crop.

The cotton crop of India was larg.
er last year, 1905, than the general
average. About 100000 acres were
planted in cotton and the yield was
about 100000 bales. During the year
there were exported from India to
other countries over 2,125,000 bales
of raw cotton at value of over $751;
100000, the four countries, Japan, Ger.
many, Belgium and Italy. in the order
named, being the largest purchasers,
they together buying nearly 100000
bales of Indian cotton, while Japan
alone took nearly 100000 bales.

WAR ON PROFANITY.

1t seems like revival of Puritan stern

Hawkins of New Richmond Wis, as in
Dictated i'll his order to the 1000 souls in
that town. Profanity must go", he says.
at is useless. 1t is blasphemous in the
sight OF God. 1t is abominable in the
sight OF man. II the profane man wants
to wallow in the pollution of his pro-
family, let hir1 betake himself to the lam
Der camps, and he must remember that
when he crosses the confines of civili-
zation he swears at his peril"
With some such comment Mayor
Hawkins announces his intention to en-
force the law in ali cases of willful or
inexcusable profanity, assessing a
penalty of $roo or a Jail sentence of 90
days.
The mayor has started praise worthy
though difficult and perhaps impracticable
reform. If he succeeds in making his
community oathless the movement will
spread. For there is no practice quite so
senseless as swearing. And none more
common. Profanity is poison to good
speech, and the man who resorts to it to
give force to his expression finds himself
after while in the same condition as the
man who takes liquor to stimulate his
energies-the natural powers leave him.
Habitual use of profane expletives renders
him powerless to speak strongly in de
cent English. Any attempt to reduce
the evil deserves commentator.
