The sultan Of Morocco is tile high

Of trength is the power Of comforting

Field Dodder.

Dodder. or love vine. Is "A great enc
my OF alfalfa. 1t Is parasitic vine
growing on the stems and taking out
the life and vitality of,even the roots.
The vine lntwlnes itself about the al
falfa stems in great clusters and grows
thriftily or small in exact proportion
to the growth Of alfalfa. When the
alfalfa IL cut. this vine appears in dry.
hairy punches about the stems. 1t Is
so repugnant to horses and cattle that
1t will not be eaten except as last re
sort before starvation. The best way
to keep free from dodder Is to buy
only clean seed. In some cases farm
ers use tanning mills and try to re-
clean the seed before sowing. If the
plant gets started in a field the best
plan TO get rid Of 1t is to scatter straw
over the alfalfa stubble and burn the
entire field. This does not injure the
alfalfa. but Kills the dodder and
other noxious weeds.-Kimbalrs Dairy

Rouph Feeds.

Rough feeds. including pasture, are
usually so plentiful that frequently we
feed them without any idea as to what
and how much Will produce the de-
sired results. Much rough feed Is
wasted In careless feeding. The cow
will eat the best OF her menu first and
II given too much will pick the most
desira BILE morsels, leaving what might
be called passably good, which too
frequently Is treated as waste and
thrown underfoot. No more hay should
be given an animal than 1t will eat up
clean. This refers to first class quail
~, however as we could not expect a
COW to eat mp clean a poor quality of

Han Manure For Crops.

Hen manure gives good results on
all crops, but probably best on such
plants as make most of their growth
above ground, like cabbage, corn or
grass. Some great results. however,
are reported with hen manure on po-
tatoes. We generally use it on garden
crops and Strawberries. The most ef
fective use Of this manure is, as we
have often described, to crush it fine
and mix with chemicals, such as muri-
ate of potash and acid phosphate.
This makes fair mixture for many
crops The hen manure is richer in
nitrogen than in potash and phosphoric
acid, and these chemicals give 1t IA
good balance. Rural New Yorker.

LEAF BLIGHT.
II Frequently Causes Much Damage to

Strawberry leaf blight frequently
causes great damage to the straw

in Rural New Yorker who says that
il makes its appearance about the
time the fruit sets and begins It's de-
etructive ravages as tine berries begin

turning the leaves a brownish red; it
will then attack the fruit stems and
hulls. cutting off the supply of nourish-
ment from the berries the calyX be-
gins To wither and dry up, and the
berries become soft and insipid and are
of little value.
As the Berry Season Advances.
1t usually grows more destructive as
the berry season advances. The condi-
tions conducive to the development of
the disease appear to be a general
weakness of the plants. This may be
brought about from various causes.
such as old and wornout beds. i'm
poverished soil, plants with heavy
set of fruit with insufficient nourish-
ment plants exposed during winter
without protection or unmulched beds
during hot. dry weather. Any one of
these conditions will have a tendency
TO weaken the constitution Of the
plants, making them an easy prey to
rust blight and other diseases.

SWETTENHAM
HAS RESIGNED
Governor of Jamaica Who Insulted
Admiral Davis Will Retire.
CRITICISM FORCED HIM OUT

London, Jan. 26.-There is good rea-
son to believe that Governor Swetten-
ham, of Jamaica. has forwarded his
resignation to the colonial office. The
officials there say they are not pre-
pared either to confirm or deny the re-
port, but they admit having received
kilograms OF confidential character
from the governor. 1t has been fully
expected here that a solution of the
difficulty would be found in Swetten-
hams resignation, and the reply to in
quirieS received at the colonial Office
tended to confirm the report that the
governor had intimated his willingness
to retire from his post. 1t has been
freely stated in the colonial ami other
government offices that it was quite
impossible for Swettenham to continue
in Office, not only because of the Incl
dent involving the withdrawal of the
American warships from Kingston, but
also on account of the protests against
his conduct received from the inhabit-
ants of Kingston.

PENNsY EMPLOYS A FORESTER
will Look After Trees Planted BY
Connany to Supply Ties.

Company to Supply Ties.
Philadelphia. Jan. 26.--E. A. Ster-
ling, formerly assistant forester in the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, was appointed forster of the
Pennsylvania railroad. Mr.. Sterling
will be the first forester of an Ameri-
can railroad.
The action of the Pennsylvania rail-
road in taking up forestry is for the
purpose of planting trees systemati-
cally to furnish a cross tie supply in
future years, and follows experiments
which the company has been making
in the last five years. During this time
1.5OO, 900 trees have been planted on
land owned by the company. A gov
ernment forestry expert was engaged
last spring to assist the management
in planning its forestry work, which is
now to be undertaken officially by the
company. Six hundred and 81 acres of
land near Altoona. Pa, will in the
springs of 1907 and 1908 be planted
with chestnut and red oak seedlings.
The railroads of the country are
using about 110,000,000 cross ties every
year, of which number the Pennsylva
mia uses about 5,500,000. This great de-
mand for the best grade of ties is de
nuding the forests of the country sc
rapidly that ties have reached the
price of 70 cents each.
