Thought Only of the Dynamite.

s"SSS's 0hy " shS SyhctiheSs
Some grim stories are told Of Lord
Kitchener, says the United States Ga
zette, and we have read one which.
although we cannot vouch for the truth
of it, has a decided Kitchener flavor
about it. A young subaltern who was
in charge Of some works that were in
course Of construction in the Punjab
had the misfortune to lose some ma
tive workmen through an accident
with dynamite. Fearful of a repri-
mand from headquarters, he telegraph
ed to the commander in chief. Regret
to report killing of twelve laborers by
dynamite accident" Back is said to
have come the laconic message. "Do
you want any more dynamite?'

One decided advance that is notice,
able this season is that of the use of
the seed drill for the small grains. In
fields in which this tool has been used
an evener stand and growth Of grain
are to lie seen than in those in which
the old broadcast seeding method has
been followed. This is merely one of
the evidences of the greater care which
is being exercised in the working of
lands whose value is advancing up to
and above the eighty dollar per acre
level

A lady reader, writing to a leading
western agricultural paper, tells OF
having some 200 little chickens killed
by crows during one season, they haV-
ing had a nesting place in a nearby
grove and she not realizing the source
of the depredations until most of her
chicks We're done for. This and other
evidence of the destructiveness of the
crow to eggs and young chickens
would seem to show that as an enemy
of the poultry raiser the crow has the
hawk, mink and skunk tribes beaten
all to pieces.

A flock of sheep of proper size is en-
titled to a place on every farm which
is adapted to raising them at all, sim
ply from the standpoint of their utility
as weed scayengers. The time is not
far away when there will be more
fully realized the loss which the aver
age farm suffers from the growth of
myriads of weeds. which draw nour-
ishment from the soil just as much as,
in some cases more than, regular plant
ed crops. When this time comes no
great amount of urging will be re-
quired to persuade the farmer that he
ought to keep a flock of these useful
animals.

1t is well to keep an eye on the red,
gray or fox squirrels, however tame,
which may frequent the trees or groves
about your place, as they are among
the worst enemies that the common
song birds have. Perhaps the worst
sinner of the bunch is the little red
squirrel, that by good rights ought to
be shot on sight.

A move that can be made in many
sections toward an Improvement OF
public highways should consist of cut
ting down d portion of the trees bor-
dering the road, especially where they
are situated on the south or west
sides of the same. They should at least
be so thinned out as to let the sun
shine on to the road for part of the
day. Where this condition cannot be
brought about the question of road
improvement is made increasingly diff
ficult, if not we'll nigh impossible.

Geraniums. like boys, are often the
better off for an outdoor summer vaca-
ton. Prune them back the gerani-
ums) considerably, remove from the
pots and put them in a garden spot
where they will get good deal of sun
shine. Before setting in the ground
put a good shovelful Of rotten manure
beneath each plant, and during the
drier weather see that they get plenty
of water. If this course is followed 1t
will mean lots Of bloom in late sum-
mer and good strong plants to pot in
the fall.

Not the least of the influences which
are tending to boost the already un-
precedentedly high price of corn to a
still higher level is the unusually wet
condition of the soil to be found in
many sections of Illinois, one of the
banner corn states of the Union, which
has rendered impossible in many cases
the blowing of last years fields. Many
of them lie untouched, with the old
stalks still standing gaunt and bare.
So heavy has been the rainfall that it
has been next to impossible to get on
to the ground with team, let alone
working the soil with any satisfactory
results The above conditions, perhaps
aggravated in portions of Illinois, eX-
ist in greater or less extent through
considerable portions of the entire corn
belt. One of the discouraging features
about the situation is the fact that
there is hardly any other crop that can
be grown in the short portion of the
season remaining. The situation de
scribed insures hard times locally, at
least, of very depressing character,

A friend Of the writer is usually rath-
er slow in plowing his garden, waiting
until settled warm weather comes. 1t
is noticeable that his garden Is very
clean, due quite likely in part to the
fact that whole lot of weed seeds
germinate and are turned under with
the first plowing. More than this, the
seed that he puts into the warm, mel
low soil usually comes on very quickly
and his stuff by midsummer is often as
advanced as that of hi. neighbor's s
which was planted two or three weeks
earlier
The Democratic advocate., 1908-06-19

1t seems fair to assume that the rea-
son why more localities do not i'm
prove their highways with the occa-
sional use of the King road drag or an
implement built on a similar principle
is that the claims made for the sys-
tenn of road improvement seem to be
so extravagant as to be outside the
range of possibility, and yet there Is no
use denying the claims which have
been so often made and just as often
demonstrated and proved. There are
three things at least which the use OF
a King road drag does for road, tend
ing to make it firm and solid thor
oughfare. First, it gives the road a
convex instead Of a fat or concave
surface. which causes rain which falls
on the road to flow rapidly to the
bitches and cutters at the side. Again,
it scrapes off and pulverizes the Jumps
and at the same time fills up the wag-
on ruts and chuck holes. One treat
ment does not do all Of the good work,
but does put the road in shape so
that subsequent traffic and draggings
will give it hard and smooth surface
from which the water runs readily,
enabling it to dry quickly before there
is time for it to be cut up by traffic
The better the condition Of the road
becomes the less is it subject to the
influences which cut up and mar the
average fat road, and this is one OF
the rewards that comes from the care
which is given the road in the early
stages. We have seen roads treated
with the King drag in a wet spell OF
weather which were almost as smooth
and firm as pavement, while stretches
of road at either end Of the treated
section were unspeakably rough and
muddy, the only thing to account fol
the difference in condition Of the two
roads being the occasional treatmen
of the one with the road drag. In view
of the enormous sums of money tina
->1e paid out annually by raisers o.
different kinds of farm produce for th'
hauling Of their stuff to market owe
bad roads the improvement of th'
highway with the King road drag
entitled to more consideration than
is receiving in most sections Of tn
country.

Some one who is interested not only
in agriculture, but temperance has fig
ured out that if all of the corn. some
25,000,000 bushels, which is at present
consumed in the manufacture of spir-
ituous liquors were to be lost-that is,
the market for it destroyed-the loss on
each farm which is now devoted to
corn culture would be but a paltry Is
cents an acre. But this seems like
granting more than is necessary, for if
the corn in question We're not used in
the manufacture of whisky it would
likely be devoted to some purpose
which would bring the grower as gen.
erous q return.

Blue Jays and blackbirds are both
noisy, unattractive representatives of
the bird family and have little to their
credit from any point Of view which
entities them to admiration or protec-
ton. In addition to being virtually
worthless as insect destroyers, they
frequently break up and destroy the
nests. eggs and young of other species
OF birds which have a real economic
@alue-for example. the robin. gros-
beak, oriole and many other smaller
birds. II either Of the two birds first
named make plans to nest on your
premises, you will be justified in put
ting stop to the operations
There are certain sections in the
north central states where tests with
alfalfa have proved conclusively that
it is futile to try to raise it unless
chickens have the run of the field de-
voted to its growth and are able to
keep the grasshopper pest in check.
Where poultry is not about the hoppers
pounce on to the young plants when
they are in the second or third leaf and
annihilate them, In which performance
they show good insect Judgment, for
1t is quite likely the most succulent
and nutritious herbage to be found at
that season of the year.
