TIE LEAK IN WEEDS.

A great benefit resulting from early
stacking OF the grain Is that II sheep
are on the place and II Is properly
fenced they can be turned on to the
stubblc and will dcvour and destroy no
end Of weeds. thus keeping them from
maturing big crop Of seed. Where
there are no sheep the same result
can be attained by an early plowlng ~
the stubble. This will Kill weeds about

leaks on the average farm Is the an'
