without conjunction, but even with a
certain satisfaction induced by the
feeling that we are contributing there
by towards lessening the evil of weed
pests.
Moreover. weeds present lessons of
perseverance and adaptability to cir
cumstances which the cultivated spe-
cies do not so frequently or so obvious
ly afford.
Finally, weeds are the most constant
of civilized mans companions, follow
ing him everywhere and patiently en-
during neglect, aversion and all sorts
of i'll usage and warfare without show
ing the least sign of disbursement.
Since. therefore. we cannot avoid. we
would better make use of, these per-
sistent followers.
If might be claimed that II is not
the best of pedagogy to consider the
weeds. They are mere obstacles, and
their study is, in one sense, negative;
while an axiom of the modern school
is that the eternal do" shall displace
the everlasting don't in the training
OF the child. But the study of weeds
IS a continual doing; 1t is finding, OBJ
serving, comparing, classifying, exter-
minating. often unique and highly or
ganfzed for special purposes, especial
" for survival of the perpetuation of
the species. many of their forms are
really beautiful, and some have his
toric significance.
Assignment to Grades.
What specimens this work shall
include will depend upon the locality.
At least five different weed pests
should be studied in the seventh to the
eighth. and from two to four in the
fourth, fifth and sixth.
Something of the method will appear
from the following examples
The grasses, the poisons and all spec
linens with minute, greenish, incon-
spicuous flowers. chiefly the chenopods,
amaranths, docks, pigweeds and tum-
bleweeds, are assigned TO the eighth
grade; the compositare, to the seventh
grade; the irregular flowers to the
sixth: the regular flowers in fivas to
the fifth; and the flowers in tours to
the fourth grade.
The Russian Thistle.
The Russian thistle, Salsola kali
tragus, bids fair to become one of the
worst of our weeds. 1t thrives on dry
lands and may take entire possession
of the soil. At first IL is a soft and
almost velvety plant resembling a
young pine; but in late summer the
first leaves fall off and spiny prickles
develop as a second crop of leaves. In
the earlier stages it can readily be
pulled up by the roots; but at ma
turity it can hardly be seized by the
naked hand on account of its sharp,
rigid leaves now developed into veri-
table spines. The weed resembles our
own tumbleweeds. but in the dry state

leaves more acute. stems thinner.
longer and more arched than in our
species. Like some of our species, il
is a saltwort belonging TO the order
Chenopodiaceae-the pigweed and salt
bush family, and nearly related to the
white psgweed. amarantus alba. Full
grown specimens may reach diam
eter of five feet. The pest appears to
be spreading rapidly. The dried plant
IS somewhat spherical in outline and
rolls before the wind when broken
from the root. scattering its seeds as
1t travels. Since large specimen may

to be carried everywhere. The losses to
sheepmen in the value of their clip
must be considerable from the abund-
anee of this worthless pest. 1t is a
coarse annual, with branching stems,
which often bear brown spots. Its
leaves are either heart-shaped or egg
shaped, and three-ribbed, with dentate
margins. and often lobed. A striking
popularity is that the bur is the in
volucre enclosing two flowers and two
seeds, while the staminate flowers are
found in little clusters, higher up on
the stem.
The Law in Oregon.
The Oregon law provides for the de-
struction of the Oregon variety, the
dagger cocklebur, as follows:
Section 420S. 1t shall be the duty of
the supervisors to cause the
destruction of the weed known as the
dagger cOcklebur, where such weed
shall be found growing upon the public
highways.
Sec. 42l1. The owners or occupants
of lands shall carefully extirpate such
weed when the same is found growing
upon the land of such owner or occu-
pant, etc.
Sec. 4212. 1t shall be the duty of
municipal corporations and county au-

October and November.

The last legislature should have
taken decisive action looking to the
determination of this species before It
has overrun the state, but failed 10
do so. Meantime. city and county au-
thorities should so deal with the nui-
sance as to prevent its spread. In this
work the children in the public schools
can help. They should burn the dry
plants before they have rolled over the
land and sprinkled it with their seeds.
AS an arithmeticai problem, estimate
the number of seeds borne by each
plant and the number of miles one roll
ing bush might travel in one day be-
fore the wind.
The CockIebur.
One of the worst of our weeds is the
cocklebur. Its most conspicuous fed-
ture is its large bur, about an inch long,
with hooked spines that enable ii to at
tach itself to the wool of animals and

crease in the frequency and destruc-
tiveness of forest fires that our ma
tive trees and mountain timbers are in
imminent danger of speedy destruc-
ton. And it appears that this thistle.
once disseminated over our open and
semi-deSert land, will so far rob the
soil of its value that cultivation will
not be profitable. This result seems
the more likely from the fact that
the weed thrives on dry land, especial
ly on sandy and barren soils. Some of
our dry farms at present pay barely
the cost of cultivation the first year
but with this weed covering them
such lands would probably not pay
for blowing and seeding, to say moth
ing of the annoyance and incidental
loss which hordes of these spiny plant
monsters would inf1ict in other ways

other section of country. 1 have said
in these columns, and not long since,
too, that some kinds of fruit can be
grown better here than in the Wenat-
chez or Yakima valleys, that some
varieties of apples do better west of
the Cascades than they do east of
that range. l believe that l am too
cosmopolitan to throw any slur upon
any section of our great and grand
state. l did not know of any sue
cessful growing of grapes on this side
of the mountains and am glad to be
set right l shall not be surprised to
learn that other sections of the Puget
Sound country raise good grapes and
shall be only too glad to correct any
false impression l made in my ignor-
ance. Tell me about your successes,
brethren, and l will mention them in
The Ranch as far as I have room, but
your failures, if you have any, you
can keep to yourselves, for | don't
want to publish them, for fear of doing
you harm.
T
While | was absent from the city
some ten days, Mr.. G. S. Kellogg, OF
Portage Maury Island, in Puget
Sound, called at The Ranch office and
left some very fine peaches. They
would not keep till my return so Mr..
Pratt, the managing editor, did very
sensible thing by eating them, and re-
ports to the horticultural editor that
they were very large and of most ex-
cellent quality. Mr.. Pratt is not
specialist in raising fruit, but when
it comes to sampling fruit in that way
| know no one whom I would trust
more implicitly than him. Mr. Kel-
logg left note for me in which he
says that those peaches grew on a
Seeding of the Elberta; that he has
the original from which he has propa-
gated 100 others; that this tree at two
years old bore four boxes of very fine
peaches. I am much interested In
this matter. Mr.. Kellogg has scored
a decided success in this matter-a
success that would be phenomenal
anywhere. If he can continue his sue
cess with the descendants of this orr
ginal tree by budding he can make
a record that any man may be proud
of. AS stated in previous issues
was surprised at the peaches that
my friend, Wayland Clark, of What
com county, exhibited at Portland dur
ing the Lewis and Clark fair. If Mr..
Kellogg can do as well or better on
one of the islands of Puget Sound we
are glad to know it. I shall try to
keep my eye on this Seeding peach
in the years to come. If some sections
of Puget Sound can raise good
peaches, another section good grapes,
all sections the finest berries in the
world and some kinds of apples to
perfection, and as fine pears, cherries
and prunes as any section, no one
will be more ready to publish the fact
to the world than the horticultural
editor of The Ranch.
H. T. Staff q think I get the name
correctly, of Langley, Wash, writes
under date of September 5, as fol-
lows: will you please let me know
what fruit would be best to plant in
this locality for market; that is, tree
fruits, such as cherries, apples or
pears, or maybe an assortment of all
of them? What varieties will bear

l would say to friend White and all
others who contemplate using CONNER
cial fertilizers that they should be ap-
piled in the spring. Now, there is
reason for this that will appear plain
to anyone when we come to under
stand a few things about the use of
fertilizers The most of commercial
fertilizers are in the available form.
But what do we mean by available
form? We mean that they are solu-
