D0DDER I'M CLOVER A. PEST
WHICH rs TO BE- DREADED
Farmer Should Out When
Seed-By Prof. D. Fin1ayson, p. L.

There is practically NO other inn
purity found in any Of our cultivated
ciovers that occasions the same fear
as that which accompanies the pres
ence of the much-dreaded pest, dod-
der. Glover dodder is leafless para
site plant, deriving all the nourishr
ment necessary for it's growth from,
The clover stem round which. it clings
and turns. The seeds Of dodder germ
mate IN the soil in the ordinary way,
giving rise to a slender, leafess,
thread-like shoot, which rotates round
and round. Should the shoot fail to
reach or touch a clover plant, it (the
dodder) quickly withers and dies;
should it succeed in gaining hold of
a clover plant, the twining round the
stem Immediately begins, and at the
points of close attachment roots or
suckers penetrate the. epidermis and
push their way into the conducting
tissues Of the plant, as may be seen
in the magnifed section of the clover
stem encircled by dodder The free
end of the dodder increases in length,
embraces other branches and extends
to adjoining clover plants, and thus
the work of stangulation, sure and
deadly, rapidly goes on. In exanin-
ing samples of clover seed for dodder
even an experienced observer may be
deceived. The seeds are grey or
light brown in color, with a slightly
pitted surface, much smaller in size
than the clover. In many instances
particles of dried soil, rounded by at
triton and the movement of the seed
in handling, so closely resemble the
seeds of dodder that at a. first
glance one is filled with dismay,
and it is only on pressing the
suspected dodder seed with knife
blade or spatula, when it crumbles
into dust, that the examiner is
treasured as to the purity of the
sample. The farmer may be perfectly
satisfied with the appearance of the
clover seed he intends purchasing, al
so with the guarantee of freedom from
weeds, but there is still one thing of
vital Importance. Are the seeds alive?
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1907-08-17

surprised if he lighted the whole dis
trict.
Mr.. Crutchett, however, succeeded
in securing an appropriation of ST.
500 in the act of March 3, 1847, by
which the secretary of the senate and
clerk of the house were directed to
contract with him for lighting the
building and grounds with solar gas.
OF that sum Mr.. Crutchett expended
$4,000 that year and the year follow
ing the remainder, with further sum
of $4,000, and later nearly $4,000 for
, extra work With this aid he en-
larged his works, introduced gas in
the building and placed on the dome
an 80-foot mast and lantern by
which the grounds and much of the
surrounding city were well lighted.
The light could be seen many miles
down the river and so we'll lighted the
city that some old citizens can recall
! that as far west as Twelfth street
they could tell the time by watch.
1t was during the time that the Ian
tern was on the dome that ex-Presi-
| dent John Quincy Adams was strick-
en- while in the house of representa-
tives and died. The capitol was
draped in mourning and piece of
black bunting placed around the Ian
tern. A few days later it was loosened
by the winds and gave the appearance
of black flag, but it was not allowed
/ to remain there long
BY the act of July 6, 1S4S, the
Washington Gas Light company was
| incorporated with capital of $4,000,
the following being the incorporators:
Col. B. B. French, then clerk of the
house of representatives; John F.
Callan, Jacob Bigelow, w. H. Harr-
over, M P. Callan, W. A. Bradley and
w. H. English. That the company
was soon organized and furnishing
gas is apparent, for, by August IL fol-
lowing, appropriations of $4,000 were
made to pay If for lighting the capt.
tol and grounds to August 81; of ST.
900 for laying pipes, erection of lamps
and posts, etc., in the capitol grounds,
nishing 100 lamps on the avenue be-
tween the capitol and Fifteenth street.
The first appropriation was expended
at once, the second in 1S49 and 1850,
and the third in 1S49. Thus oil and
tallow were relegated to the past and
Illuminating gas was introduced to
the Washington public.

An early English writer says: "A
houseband cannot thryve by his oorne
without cattell; nor by his cattell with
out corne. Sheep in my opinion is the
most profitable cattell any man can
have"
We procured a flock at considera-
BILE cost; bought them of an old sheep
trader who knew his business if we
didn't ours. He topped the market
when he sold us his half fat lambs,
nice, big LANDSLIDE yearling kind
at lamb prices. His bunch Of old ewes
changed hands at a notch lower:
Do not buy old ewes. They have a
way of passing into the mysterious be-
yond in such rapid manner that it
shocks one! We think he succeeded in
unloading all of the original flock,
those recorded in early history, on our
hands. Anyway, they had come down
through the dingy past. In that we
feel we have benefited humanity No
one will get any more of that genera
ton. The evening sun of their life
was set when we closed our gates up
on them. The aged creatures were

Thus we succeeded in considerably d.
minishing their number; about two
thirds. We read in sheep paper that
old ewes needed succulent food.
Straightway their rack was filled with
nice green succulent alfalfa, newly
cut, still with with the glistening dew.

In the bunch were some breeding

the sheep breeder, and inveigled us in

and pours forth his wisdom: s'Now
you are new at the business. Now let

the end Of the allotted time what few
responded to our frantic efforts to get
them off. that field, soon became
dead issue, representing hundreds of
dollars.
Then there was the thoroughbred
buck. Don't buy grade bucks. Buy
this one, only $685." cried the sheep
trader. We thought this sheep should
have horns, but the more we became
acquainted with him, however, the
more we thanked our stars he was
not horned beast. If he couldn't go
over the fence he would go under; if
not over nor under he would go
through it and manage to hang by one
or more of his legs until assistance
came. After putting in the night with
his head between two fence rails we
were able the next morning to chron-
lcle the passing of our thoroughbred.
This sheep trader also said with a
great flourish: They will keep your
lawn down." They did. They also
doWned my young orchard and every
green thing upon the place. Their
omnivorous appetite soon made our
spacious lawn, to which we had de-
voted ourselves regardless of labor or
expense and excelled in landscape gar
dening, look like golf links; our Or
chard like forest Of bean poles. Nor
have we yet settled with our neigh
Dor for the wanton destruction of his
celery patch, nor rose garden de-
voured by them belonging to fussy
old maid near by.
When they sickened and died we
sent for the sheep man. He looked
wise, threw up his hands and vouch-
safed this information. when sheep
gets sick We can't do a thing with
'em. They just up and die. When a
sheep dies he dies quick This sur
prised and startled u.s. We mean it
did at first. It doesn't now. I'VE are
sheep man now ourselves. Feeding at
the rack full of life and vigor one mo-
ment with promises of so much per
pound at the stock yards, you may in
ten more minutes send for the sheep
undertaken to carry them off at so
much the job. Life is not all sunshine,
neither is the sheep business.
We punched up the remainder of
our several yards, made carload lot
and consigned them to local market.
By getting top prices the salesman
succeeded in settling with the trans
portation company and paying his
own commission from the receipts.
We felt grateful to him for that
There is money in sheep, so saith
the sheep feeder. This may be true.
We are not here to deny it. Someone
made money turning over those sheep.
But it wasn't us. It was the other
fellow.
However, we have acquired the
name of being good sheep man, and
as no one but the bats and owls know
of our misfortunes we blandly smile
and rest our laurels so richly won, To
be counted a good sheep man is worth
it's weight in gold.
In closing we might say we have
sheep ranch for sale, consisting of
some feed troughs, bin of corn,
purchased when the market was soar
ing, half barrel of salt, and several
head of sheep that will do we'll on 80
days soft feed; that's because their
teeth are gone. We would consider

The death list among the plant pets
and forest favories that have been
recorded ever since the beginning Of
the Roosevelt administration is a long
one.
"The first we noticed of the fatal
power was early In the presidents
first term, when Secretary Hitch
cock planted a little oak tree down
by the east gate,' said ~one of the
gardeners. THAT must have been
about six years ago. It did well for
a while. Then, without any reason
it wilted, withered and died. The
next year he tried it again, and again
the deadly influence got in it's work,
and the little tree gave up the ghost
after it had apparently started ia.
mously. The president then tried his
hand and planted tree down below
the terrace at the right of the en-.
trance gate. This tree died, too. We
came to the conclusion then that there
was something in the soil that was
fatal to trees, but thought that per.
hape bed of flowers would grow
there. So we planted a fine bed OF
geraniums. The same fate overlook
them. The soil is not good for geran.
iums,' we said, so We'll try some.
thing else.' We did. This year we
planted a splendid big bed of cannas
or Indian spot. The earth in the old
bed was all taken out and a lot of fine
new loan put in it's place. Now look
at those cannas. One would suppose
to see them, that they had all been
cut at the roots as though by mole
or some sort of borer. But no mole
or worm had been there. It's the
hoodoo again."

HOW TO SELECT SEED POTATOES


When digging, hills will be found,
all the tubers of which will conform
to the ideal toward which the potato
grower is striving. If these tubers
be saved and planted, a large part
though not all of them ought to pro-
duce potatoes like the seed. These
should be selected again by hills and
all should be discarded except pota-
toes from those hills which approx
mate the ideal type.
The longer this selection is carried
on, the greater should be the proper
ton of tubers like the original select
ed type.
The usual objection to this selec-
ton, in practice, is that at digging
time when the work must be done,
the grower is too busy getting in the
crop to take time for improvement of
future crops. The selecting can be
done, however, without taking
great deal of time. When the digger
is running one man should follow
with basket and select the most de-
sirable specimens of tubers from hills,
that conform to his ideal type of that
variety. Ordinarily the machine will
leave the tubers in such shape that
the individual hills can be separated.
In this work do not look for perfect
tubers only. Select perfect tubers
from hills in which all of the tubers
are of good shape and of sufficient
number to give a good yield even
though some of them are too small
for market. y.
With this system of selection
seed potatoes ought to be secured in
one day to plant at least one acre
Of land. These potatoes should be
sacked, labeled and put in cool place
by themselves: :. The following spring
they should be. planted at one side
Of the field, where they can be staked
off from the rest of the crop, Most
growers prefer to- plant potatoes that
are intended Tor seed, 5 late. u very
rich soil Isl not desirable for growing
seed potatoes because of the tende ncy

SHERIDAN WANTED REAL THING.
No Such Horse for His Statue as the
One Sculptor Put Under Scott.

When Gen. John M Wilson, U. S.
A., retired, was superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds in Wash
ington under Cleveland, he was in
vited one afternoon by Gen. Phil"
Sheridan to accompany him on a car
riage drive about the city. The gen.
eral was in fine spirits until they ap-
preached Scott circle, in the center of
which loomed the equestrian statue
of Gen. Winfield Scott. Then Little
Phil became serious. Refining up his
horse, he sat and gazed earnestly at
the statue.
Wilson" said Gen. Sheridan, Il

expect to live more than year. When
l am dead, l suppose that my eQues-
trian statue will be erected some
where in Washington. 1 request here
and now that you see to it that am
not seated upon such an outrageous
looking horse as that upon which the
sculptor has placed Scott
The Scott horse, by the way, was
modelled after one of the favorite
mares ridden by Gen. John Morgan,
the dashing Kentucky confederate
cavalryman, a fact known only to
Gen. Wilson and few other persons
in Washington.
Although II years have passed since
congress provided for the creation OF
an equestrian statue of Gen. Sheridan
the capital is as yet devoid of that
piece of monumental art. Work was
begun on it several years ago by J. @
A. Ward, the American sculptor, who
it is said, finally has abandoned the
task, largely because of the injunction
of Gen. Sheridan that his bronze like
ness be not placed upon any but a rea
war horse. Mr.. Ward, it is stated, has
made numerous models of horses
none of which pleased him, and hi
destroyed them in turn.
