combat is their great seed producing
capacity. 1t is not difficult to kill one
formal plant, but no sooner is that
done than another springs up to take
its place.
Early fall blowing gets rid of many
Of these weeds by turning them un-
der before the seed is ripe Some of
the seed which is ripe will grow up,
and the plants will be killed by the
first freezes of winter If the field is
narrowed early in the spring many of
the remaining seed can be induced to
start. The more weeds that come up
at this time the better, since they will
be killed in the subsequent prepare
ton of the land for planting.
There is no better implement for
killing weeds before corn comes up
than the harrow. Narrowing is
cheap operation, since so many acres
can be gone over In a day. The more
times cOrnfield can be gone over
with the harrow before the corn comes
up the better. In narrowing to kill
weeds care should be taken not to do
the work when the weather Is cloudy
or the ground too wet, or the weeds
will be transplanted rather than killed
In regard to the value Of narrowing
growing corn opinions differ greatly.
1t is almost impossible, however, to
harrow corn without destroying some
Of it. 1t is waste of time to test
the seed and planter with the idea of
getting good stand and then harrow
part Of 1T out. Unless the weeds are
very bad the harrow had better be
put away in the machine shed as soon
as the corn begins to appear above
the surface Of the ground.
Thorough cultivation from the time
the corn is two or three inches high
until it is ready to clay by" will do
much to keep the weeds In check The
deep early civilizations will bring up
the seeds that have been lying dor
mant at the bottom of the furrow

killed by the later civilizations. Fox

1t is often a good plan to SOW rape in
corn at the last cultivation. This will
come up quickly and shade the ground
so completely that it will prevent the
growth Of annual weeds almost en-
tirely.
Annual weeds seldom do much dam
age in small grain. If the grain is
drilled in on properly prepared seed
bed it will get such start that most
Of the weeds will be smothered out
and die for lack Of plant food and
light. One annual that is sometimes
troublesome in grainfields is mustard.
Since this weed is easily killed by
cultivation 1t seldom goes to seed
in cornfelds. Consequently when
small grain follows corn there is little
mustard seed in the soil except that
which is sown with the oats
There is another annual or rather
winter annual. that is much harder to
eradicate than those mentioned so far.
This is squirreltail grass, so called be-
cause of its fuzzy heads. The seeds
are very light and are attached to
long boards which cause them to be
carried for considerable distances by
the wind.
Squirreltail grass is not troublesome
in cultivated fields. but often in
tests meadows and pastures to such
an extent as to make them almost
worthless. Moving as soon as the

every four years or So They are very
fond of the roots and stems of peren-
Hal weeds, especially those of Quack
grass and morning glory, and they
will continue to root until the last
fece is brought to light and eaten.
Where all the fields are not fenced

The weed problem is not nearly so
ifficult as many people believe. The
emedy for weeds is good farming,
nd when good farming becomes the

way weeds are more of benefit

lem we would often be tempted to
ct the cornfield 60 a few days longer
'efere cultivating and thus fail to get
s large a crop as we might otherwise
lave done. 1t is the cultivation that
the presence of the weeds forces upon
us that makes plant food available
and prevents the escape of capillary
moisture and so enables the plants to
put their best efforts into producing a
maximum yield.

other train when an Italian walked
through the coach, his hands crossed

Turkey hens begin laying early in
the spring, and as they usually make
their nests on the ground, it is not ad-
visable to let them hatch the first lot
of eggs, unless one can get them to sit
in some sheltered place.
If the hen sits in a cold, damp nest
the eggs will not hatch we'll This
is often the cause of weak, sickly
poults.
While turkey hens make the best
mothers, it is a good plan to hatch the
first clutch of eggs with chicken hens;
then by the time the turkey hens have
finished the second laying the weather
is somewhat warmer and they may be
allowed to sit.
See that the hens have good nests
and are kept free of lice. If the hens
are allowed to sit in old nest-boXes
they will soon become regular louise
incubators. Then when the little tur-
keys come out your trouble will begin
in earnest.
1t doesn't take many lice to kill a
young turkey. A young turkey cannot
endure these Iffe-sapping creatures as
long as a chick can.
If the feed is all right, and still they
do not seem to thrive, the chances are
that they have vermin of some sort.
Spread the wings out and examine
well on both the inside and outside.
The latter is favorite hiding place,
and it sometimes happens that no lice
can be found anywhere else. However,
it is not uncommon to find the large
lice wherever there are pin-feathers.
Head lice attack little turkeys almost
as soon as they are hatched.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent OF public schools
in one of the southern states says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago | was making an Off
cial visit to distant part of the coun.
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. l noticed
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, | bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so we'll pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
81 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was victim of long standing"

Oil Lamps Brighter Than Electric
[ ioht

Probably one of the most wonderful
as we'll as useful of modern inven-
tions is that of New York scientist
who has just secured from the Gov
ernment protection on lamp burner,
which by converting the oil into hy-
dro-carbon gas, burning on a mantle,
gives an eighty candle power light
with less oil consumption and with
out carbonizing the mantle or over
heating the lamp. 1t can be fitted to
any lamp and the wick lasts a life
time. There is absolutely no danger,
no odor and no smoke. The Union
Light Co, of New York City, have ac-
quired the selling rights of this burn
er, which is called the "Herzog," after
the inventor, and, we understand, are
making a special discount to introduce
it into each township with a view of
securing a local representative.

so-called "louse- killer" and before we
knew it our turkeys and chickens were
literally alive with lice. Whether it
are not prepared to say, but every
time it was applied the little fowls
became so sick that some of them
came near dying.
1t had a worse effect upon the tur.
keys and chickens than it did upon
the lice. Then we began to use lard,
as we used to do years ago, before
'louse-killers" came into general use.
Up to this time we had lost Is tur-
keys and twice that number of chick
ems, all because the ''louse-killer"
failed to kill lice. No more turkeys or
chicks died, but thousands of lice did.
Great care must be exercised lest a
little too much is applied. Just little
is enough, and it must be put on where
it will reach the lice.
Take little on the end of the fin
ger and apply wherever the lice are
found. Olive oil may be used instead
of lard. Lice cannot live long in
either, and both are harmless to the
little fowls unless too much is used.
The grease should not touch the
bare spot under the wings if it can be
avoided, and the head should not be
creased unless one is certain that
either lice or nits are present.
