Antiquity Of the Oath.

The oath is practically as old as his
tory. As far back as we can go we
find some form of appeal to the forces
that are stronger than man. The oath
calling God to witness is of course
much later than that made in the name
of the powers of nature. fire. food and
tempest or the ferocity of wild beasts
or the terror of the pestilence. The
gesture Of the raised hand and the for

Christian origin. although the ancient
nations swore in the name of their
gods.

pearance. Late or autumnal seed
lings live through the winter, and In
regions of mild, open winters they
begin to flower and mature seeds even
in February or March, before we are
likely to think they need attention
The sample sent has q few dry, empty
seed vessels on Il. Others are yet
green and unopened. There are also
flowers and unopened buds, so that
seed production may yet continue a
long time in plants Of the same age as
this sample. Indeed, seed production
may continue till freezing weather
stops 1t in November or December.
If the plants are dug up or plowed
out and left on the ground they are
likely to renew their growth unless
they are put in piles and destroyed,
or unless a prolonged period of dry,
hot weather should deprive them of
life.
Flowing infested fields In fall and
seeding with rye or winter wheat may
help keep 1t in check, or ploWing early
in spring and planting with some crop
which shall receive frequent and thor
ough cultivation will not only destroy
the young seedlings that may spring
up, but will check seed production in
the older plants. Spraying with a solu-
ton of sulphate of iron or copperas,
one and one-half to two pounds to a
gallon of water, has been used with
success in subduing this weed. 1t
should be applied in dry, clear
weather.

CARING FOR FRUITS.
Annual Waste in Orchards Should Be
Prevented.

Very great is the annual loss In the
waste of fruits. 1t is a common thing
for farmers to say when we try to sell
them a bill Of trees: "The ground is
covered with apples now" IL had
bushels of cherries that were never
picked" "My plums rotted on the
trees by thousands"
It is here that the waste is mani.
tested; and waste is the cause OF
most of our poverty. Waste not,
want not" is fine old maxim.
1t is not always the sign of a good
farmer to be too busy with corn and
wheat and hogs to take care of the ap.
pies, writes Walter S. Smith in In.
diana Farmer. Lee Mcdaniel of my
own neighborhood boasted that he
had never had visitation of hog chol.
era on his farm. He raked up the
fallen apples every morning and
wheeled them out to the hogs. This
was done as long as they dropped off
prematurely. After they matured,
many that fell off were good for use
In some other way; then he assorted
them and gave his hogs only the bad
ones.
This plan worked a double ad.
vantage. First, 1t regulated the natur'
al processes of digestion and assimi
lation In the swine. Second, 1t trans.
ported millions of insect eggs away
from their field of michief, and re
duced the amount of damage. Then II
kept the ground clear, so that when
the better class of apples began to
fall they we're more easily attended
to. OF course, judgment is required to
know when the fruit will do to pick;
and when 1t will do, picking should be-
gin, thus to put an end to the falling
of the fruit.
II there is a good cushion of grass
for the apples to fall on, many of them
fall without bruising, and are fully
equal to picked apples.

GOOD SOIL.
II Can Be Made Out Of Poor Soil II
Handled Right.

Good soil is a requisite of success.
ful farming. Poor soil can often
be made good soil with the right kind
of treatment. In Europe It has been
a common practice to entirely change
the character Of a soil. This is not
all done at once, but is often accom-
plished by easy stages.
Thus, a too sandy soil can have its
character modified by the addition Of
clay. But hauling clay is expensive,
and 1t takes a great deal of clay to
modify the condition of the more than
10000 square feet of land comprised
in an acre.
But the man that owns the land
realizes that this mechanical change
once made is made permanently. He
argues that the treated land is to be
used for all time and that the expense
of changing the land should not all
be charged against single year.
When a man with an acre of sandy
land to modify begins to figure, he
works out the problem something like
this: II layer of clay two inches
thick is put over an acre Of land 1t
means about 1000 cubic feet Of clay
to be shoveled, hauled and spread on
the land. A load of 35 cubic feet OF
clay is a good load to be hauled at one
time, and with that size load II
would take 200 loads to get the clay
onto the land. That looks like CO
lossal task. But what Is an acre OF
good land worth IL 1t is located Just
right?
We have seen sandy acres un-
cultivated because they did not con-
tain enough clay to render them
profitable for farming purposes, while
they we're so located as to be very
valuable for intensive purposes II
properly amellorated.
A little improvement each year will
in the course of many years change
useless soil into good soil, says the
Farmers Review, and that good soil
for all time, so far as its mechanical
structure is concerned. The plant
food supply and exhaustion is another
question.
Plant food is sometimes taken out
of good soil to such an extent that 1t
becomes unproductive. But such food
can always be put back at much
less cost than the value of the same
amount of plant food in the crop In
which 1t was taken out.
A good soil should be kept good by
being farmed in the most intelligent
manner. If II. is poor soil, ii should
be made good in the numerous ways
known to science. Our soils need to
be studied to get out of them the best
things that are in them. 1t should be
remembered that soil is merely the
medium that supports plants and that
this medium can be made to carry
little or much plant food according to
the generosity of the cultivator in
supplying the same.

A western city proposes a fine OF

lovers!

The best method Of paying for the
farm is to make 1t productive,
No farmer can estimate his loss
from weeds. They appear on every
hand. No crop can be raised where
they grow. Strive for weedless
crop.
