WEEDS IN THE PASTURE.
Now Them Before They Have Chance
to Go to Seed.

From this time on weeds will be In
evidence in the permanent pastures
as well as in the meadows. The
weeds of the permanent pasture are
mainly ragweed dog fennel iron
weed, and the different varieties Of
docks. AS we have pointed out for
some years, the main reason for their
existence, especially in the permanent
pasture, lies not in the fact that the
weed seeds are abundant in all soil,
but that the stand of grass is not thick
enough to keep them down.
OF course it is folly to allow these
seeds to increase by neglect to NOW
them, and, therefore, one of the first
after-harvest jobs is to take a mower
and go over every pasture, whether
permanent or in rotation, and then go
over every stubble field that has been
seeded to clover and while clipping
back the clover and thus thickening It
up prevent the development OF weed
seed
The great point we wish TO impress
upon our readers however, is that the
| reason why these weeds appear is be-
cause the stand of grass is deficient.
We have seen permanent pastures
this year in which there is no sign OF
weeds. These pastures are super NJ.
Every available spot is filled with
grass roots, and there is feed enough
for two animals and only one to eat
1t. This means long late fall pas
ture and fat stock.
How prevent this weed growth!
You can not do much now, says Wal.
lace's Farmer. All you can do Is
! to keep these weeds moved down to
prevent further seeding. Then next
spring provide yourself with a good
disk drill and drill in clover and tim
othy just when the frost is going out
of the ground. This will thicken up
your stand of grass; thicken 1t up to
such an extent If the land is rich
enough, as to double the pasture and
do away with the unsightly weeds
without the trouble of keeping them
moved down.

BAD EGGS BARRED.
How They Spot the Careless Farmers
in Denmark.

Although the average person has IT.
tie chance 70 guard against bad eggs
in the United States. in Denmark they
apparently have solved the bad egg
problem. In that country there are
syndicates which control the egg in
dustry and It is their duty to keep tab
On the farmers who are in the habit
Of shipping bad eggs to the market
The headquarters of this egg syndi-
cate, of course, is Copenhagen, and the
members of It are the farmers them
selves. The members of this egg syn.
dicate throughout the country are pro-
vided with rubber stamps which bear
the serial number of the members
certificate as well as a number for the
egg. Each egg is thus stamped with
the farmers name on It, with indelible
Ink. No eggs are accepted that do not
bear a stamp. SO this stamp is a
guarantee of quality. When the eggs
are examined in Copenhagen, if they
are found to be bad the shipper re-
ceives notice and is compelled to pay
a fine averaging about one dollar OF
our money. If he makes many ship
ments Of bad eggs he is very quickly
expelled from the syndicate; thus all
bad and not perfectly fresh eggs are
either sold to the village grocer or
used at home. It has been found that
this system works admirably in keep
ing the open market stocked with eggs
that are guaranteed to be in good con-
dition. II is likewise stated by Off
GERS of the syndicate that very few OF
the members have ever been delin-
quent with their fines.

Fruit sprayed in such a manner as

Spraying until the fruit is complete

is much less effective than the treat
ment mentioned above.
Spraying until the fruit is complete

much as 90 per cent. OF the disease

its effect as a remedy is very slight
