Many farmers in moving their
fields leave a few brushes under the
walls and fences, as they do not want
to get them mixed in the hay, and SO
they leave a few more every year, and
we often see large smooth meadows
with a rim Of brush a rod wide clear
around the field.
have always found the best way to
get rid of the brush and weeds was to
cut them every year when we NOW
the grass, and rake them up close to
the wall, and when dry burn them up
clean, and in doing this you are not
only getting rid Of the brush, but
lots of woodchucks and rabbits, and it
makes the farm look so much nicer
that we feel more than paid for all
our trouble. A. Saunders In the
American C~ultivator.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

Notes Of the Farm.


Don't put a calf in a pen by itself;
animals suffer from loneliness.
Brood sows should have two pens
one for feeding and one for sleeping.
There is profit in sheep, and too
few of them are being raised by the
farmers of the United States.
If the cover is left off the milk can,
a piece of cloth or mosquito netting
should be used to keep out insects.
Keep the calves growing. If stunted
the first year there is a loss that never
can be regained Any animal that is
worth raising is worth raising well.
Breaking the heifer to her dairy
duties should begin almost with her
birth, by accustoming her to obedi-
ence, confidence and kindly handling.
1t requires twenty-five to thirty
bushels of corn per acre to pay the
cost of production and a fair rate of
intrest on the land. A smaller crop
than that is produced at a loss. All
owe that is profit.
Corn is a mighty good grain to feed
hogs when fattening time comes aloAg.
But corn, without clover and mid
dlings, will not make profitable hogs.
Make the green stuffs do their best in
making cheap pork.
Planning the farm work a week
ahead will save time and keep things
moving without a hitch. Keep all
work in your W hands. Know what
you want your men to do, and if. nee
essary jump in and show them how to
do it.

WILL STOP NEosHo OVERFLOW
Plan OF Government Will Save Far
mers Thousands of Dollars.

lola. Kan. Sept. 25.-In a letter to
Representative Charles F. Scott, ]. o.
Wright. the engineer in charge of the
drainage survey of the Neosho river,
which the department of agriculture
has been conducting for the last
eighteen months. reports that the
work is now finished and that he has
prepared a plan which. if followed, he
believes will protect the low1ands
lying along this river from future
overflow. While this plan will be
printed and will be ready for distri
button as a government document
within the next ninety days, Mr..
Wright suggests that he would be
willing to come to Kansas and hold
series of meetings at points along the
river where he could orally present
his plan to the people. He believes
that in this way he could make it
contribute to greater zeal and har-
mony in any effort that may be made
to carry it into effect.
Mr.. Scott has arranged a series of
meetings for Mr.. Wright to be held
the third week in October. They will
begin in Oswego Monday, October 81.
Meetings will be held in Chanute,
Humboldt. lola, Burlington and En-
poria. in the order named.
Mr. Scott was the author of the
provision in the appropriation bill I'M
der which this survey was made and
as the work has progressed it has at
tracted a great deal of attention. II,
as a result of this survey. the lands
heretofore subject to overflow, can be
enectually protected. it will mean an
annual saving of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the people who
own farms along the Neosho river.

MORE DOUBLE TRACKING.
Hartman Has Plans for 1t Between
kearney and Ogden.


Omaha, Sept. 25.-E. H Hartman
has concluded to finish double tracking
the main line of the road between
Kearney and Ogden. When work, now
being finished, is completed about the
first of the year, the company will have
double track line from Omaha to
Watson's ranch, about three miles west
of kearney. 1t is now the intention to
finish the work from Kearney on to
Ogden. A great deal of double track
ing has been done in Wyoming.
An illustration of the business of the
road was hown at North Platte re-
road was shown at North Platte re-
the city in IL hours. This requires an
immense amount of motive power and
the road has that problem to meet as
well as the track question.
Superintendent Anderson, who Is in
Omaha to attend a meeting of the SUI
perintendents of the Union Pacific, says
the double track work is progressing
nicely in Wyoming, but not as fast as
on the Nebraska division. The ballast
question has been a stumbling block in
Wyoming.
The saving of a double track will be
felt by the railroad in more ways than
one and one way that is not often con-
sidered by an outsider is the immense
benefit the employees of the road will
derive from this source. Most of the
members of the train crews are paid on
a mileage basis and when a couple of
days are consumed in running
