ExTERMINATINe WILD OATS.

Wild oats is the worst weed we
have to coLtend with, writes Mime
sofa correspondent in the Farmer. so
I thought would write my experience
in Kidding myself of it. Three years
ago / rented farm which had large
amount of wild oats. I sowed corn
about the fifteenth of May, but as 1t
was a cold spring the corn did not
grow very fast, but the wild oats did,
and by the time the corn was ready
for cultivation the oats formed thick
mat l plowed some of II under and
cultivated the best of the corn as well
as | could. The next year | disked the
corn ground as soon as the frost was
out and let 1t lie until about the mid
die OF May, when | plowed Il good
and put II to corn again That was
the last | saw of wild oats on that
piece of ground. I think millet Is Just
as good or better than corn, as you
can SOW that as late as July.

Thus we can see that the edge only

fibers lying next to it overlies II and
prevents IL from breaking away by

SHEEP DOGS KNOW A LOT.
Have Repeatedly Given Proof Of Re-
markabIe Intelligence.

What a herd dog has first to learn
sheep, and to know them both by
sight and smell This he does thor
oughly. When Watterson was running
sheep on the plains he had young
collie not yet put to the herd. but
kept about the pumping plant, says a
writer in Harpers Magazine. AS the
sheep came in by hundreds to the
troughs, the dog grew so as to know
them that when they had picked up a
stray from another band he discovered
il from afar off, and, darting as a hor-
net, nipping and yelping. parted it out
from the band. At the time no mere
man would have pretended, without
the aid of the brand. TO recognize any
of the thousands that bore it.
How long recollection stays by the
dog is not certain, but at least a
twelvemonth, as was proved to F1lon
Girard after he had lost a third of his
band when the Santa Anna came
roaring up Lone Pine with a cloud OF
saffron -colored dust on its wings
After shearing of next year, passing
close to another band, Filon's dogs
set themselves unbidden to routing
out of it, and rounding with their own,

ing an honest man. freely admitted he
had picked up on the mesa following

dog trained at the difficult work OF
herding sheep through the chutes and

that, at the Stockton landing, with no

now in progress. Taken without ref
erence to population, the movement
of so years ago was but as drop in
a bucket compared with the scope of
the revival movement that is Sbroad
to-day.
The history of religious movements
of this kind shows that they almost
invariably have followed on the heels
or have occurred during periods of
deep industrial distress In the Unit
ed States this has been particularly
true
Distress Affected Souls.
The religious outbreak of 1857 APP
parently had its origin in the distress
of the people, and thousands of those
who had suffered financial losses in
material things flocked to the churches
TO pray for relief from their troubles.
Monetary disaster rendered the peo-
pie susceptible to religious influences,
just as misfortune in individual cases
is potent factor in the introspection
that often leads to the acceptance of
religion. The great revival of the
late '70s appears to have had its ORR
gin in a similar national condition.
The historic religious movement led
by the late Dwight l.. Moody in Chi
cago and running synchronous to the
worlds fair took place when the coun-
try was entering the throes of one of
the most disastrous industrial panics
in its history. The same is true of
other nations.
In this respect the present religious
movement differs from nearly all 9TH
ers. There have been ten years of
unprecedented prosperity. In mate
rial things the country and the people
rs individuals have been and are more
prosperous than ever before Yet,
contrary TO history. in the midst of
this marvellous prosperity there arises
and is maintained for at least -four
years a constantly growing tide of re
ligious enthusiasm. The men guiding
the movement say that they see nc
evidence of the approach of the end
OF the revival spirit. The number OF
converts is increasing daily, more men
are going into the evangelistic work
and everywhere preparations are be
ing made for wider activities in the
revival movement.
Revival Began In Australia.
The current religious enthusiasm
in its worldwide sense, dates from
the work of Torrey and Alexander il
Australia four years ago. On thi:

New Ideas That Have Sense OF In

Perhaps this is bit out of the regu-

seemed to me so good and practical
that thought the department readers
should hear of them
The young daughter of the house
had brought home from time TO time
specimens OF her water-color work at
school which were all done on the
same sized paper and all were flower
subjects.
They were SO good that with
mothers inspiration she decided to
make them into freiZe for the child's

separated by inexpensive molding in
to panels; the side walls were a pia:2

decidedly harmonious and pleasing.

of decorative cheap English ware
plates were imbedded and on these
plates potted plants stood, making a
most beautiful and effective screen.
In front of the lavatory in this same

THE TEAM IN sPRINeTlME.
Care Should Be Taken to lnnure
Them to Hard Work.

Spring is trying time for the farm
horses. In many instances they have
been doing light work, on light feed,
and their muscles are naturally soft
and weak. If a man will just stop
and think how II is with himself after
he has been sitting about the house,
doing little besides the chores all win
ter, he will have good idea of the
condition of the horses when they
start out for the springs work.
This being true, writes f. l.. Vim
cent in Farmers Review, 1t follows
that we ought TO begin active opera
tons with a due regard for the health
of the horses Short days. good care
and intelligent feeding are needed to
bring the farm team up to a normal
condition once more.
IL the horses are put at once into
heavy work and kept at II from morn
ing till night and then watered and
fed heavily, the chances are that we
may have sick horse on our hands.
The matter of watering is of itself a
great study. No horse ought to be
taken from the field and permitted to
drink all the cold water it wants. Bet
ter not give more than half pailful
of water at first Then feed hay. Then
a little more water; then grain. IL
we are situated so that we can give
some water along in the middle of the
forenoon or afternoon, IL will be the
best thing we can do. have some
times taken a milk can of water out
to the field with me. just so that I
might have some to give the team be-
fore dinner time.
The matter of blanketing is also
important Throw blanket over the
team when going into the barn for
noon or supper. After the days work
is done the team should be well rub
bed down and bedded with plenty OF
dry straw.
