GETTING Rid of Weeds.

The problem of weed eradication is
one of the most serious which con-
front the farmers of Iowa and adj
joining states. During the last few
years method of killing weeds has
been discovered which promises to
greatly tighten the annual toll which
the farmer pays to these pests. This
new method consists in spraying the
weeds with certain destructive ma
terials known as herbicides. Some of
these herbicides. of which iron sui
plate is the most promising. will kill
nearly all kinds of common weeds
without injuring the oats. wheat or
other crop in which they happen to be
growing. In fact, in several cases the
sprayed grain was thriftier and yield
ed more than that which did not re-
ceive the treatment. This method is
especially valuable for destroying mus
tard in grainfields and dandelions and
other weeds on lawns.

FIELD OF ALFALFA IN CALIFORNIA.
the hay is often cut too late, so that it
loses the bright natural color and pal
atability. II the farmer would send 10
market nothing but what the feeder
considers good he would get a higher
price. 1t might be necessary in some
cases to educate the country buyer
also.
Timothy has the lead. especially
among city feeders, because it is not
only nutritious, but palatable and non
laxative, and the horse is not likely to
overfeed. Nevertheless other kinds of
hay would often prove better for the
feeder Alfalfa. for instance, has high
muscle building qualities and is espe-
cially valuable for draft horses 1t is
highly relished. however, and the
horse may overfeed. Doubtless the
feeder will in time learn that hay from
legumes has great value when properly
used.
Meantime the farmer is obliged to
include clover and other legumes in
his rotation in order to maintain the
fertility of his land.
In any case the farmer who sells
hay should seek to produce the high
est grade by keeping his meadows
pure and by proper methods of cut
ting, curing and stacking.
The hay crop of California is one of
our most valuable agricultural prod
ucts, being since 1905 worth over $751;
100000 Alfalfa is increasing yearly in
acreage and value. From three to
five cuttings may be made yearly on
irrigated ground.
California grain hay (cut in the
milk is highly valued for feed and is
sent east by the train load for feeding
race horses. 1t often averages in value
per acre more than the grain. as in
1906 the value per acre for grain hay
was $1,000 as against $3.50 for grain.
The illustration shows a field Of al
falfa hay in California.

First FEEDING of Chicks.

Don't feed raw dough or rough
mash to young chicks such as you
feed larger chicks. Raw dough sours
in the crop and brings on all sorts of
bowel troubles. If you want to feed
this stuff cook it well beforehand.
Well means through and through. not
just hard crust on the outside and
the middle soggy. wet mash. This
is as bad as feeding it raw.
Chicks will do well for awhile on Il
grain ration alone, but they will do
better if fed a little meat from the
first If the grain ration is dry and
sweet chicks can be fed little green

WHY HAY is GRADED LOW.
Success of Alfalfa In the West on Ir-
rigated Lands.

Success of Alfalfa In the West on Ir-
rigated Lands.
The rules of the National Hay asso-
citation recognize twenty-three grades
of hay, which seem to fall into five
classes-timothy, clover, mixed timo-
thy and clover, wild grasses and al
falfa. Choice timothy hay must be
sound, properly cured. of bright natu-
raj color, not mixed with more than
one-twentieth of other grasses and
well Daled. Lower grades of timothy
are Nos. 1, 2 and and mo grade
Glover hay has two grades. No. and
No. 2. No. l clover must be medium
clover. sound. properly cured. not
mixed with more than one-twentieth
Of other grasses and we'll baled.
Choice alfalfa hay must be reasonably
fine leafy alfalfa of bright green color,
properly cured. sound. sweet and well
baled. Other grades of alfalfa are
Nos. /. 2 and 3 and mo grade" These
rules are used by most cities that have
official inspection.
A large percentage of the timothy on
the market is graded below No. /. The
reasons are that many meadows are
cut for years until they become weedy
and mixed with other grasses and that

that they needed it.
Cooked meat cut up very fine is
safer and perhaps just as good. but
it is costly. However. cost should be

and wait for you and are all the better
for it. The illustration will give you

caIifornia's Farmer Congressman.

John BidwelI and Timothy G. Phelps
were the only two farmers ever elect
ed to congress since CALIFORNIA; admis-
sion into the Union, nearly sixty years
ago. Bidwell resided at Chico. in Butte
county. and was elected in 1864 from
the Third congress district. At that
time there were no railroads to the
east and all communication was by
steamer. When Bidwell reached San
Francisco he met John CONFESS. who
had already served one session in the
senate. In conversation over the trans
portation question CONFESS said he had
crossed the isthmus of Panama three
times and proposed to try Nicaragua
for a change So Bidwell and be went
on to Washington together by way or
San Juan del Sur and Greytown.

THE ROMANCE OF WHEAT.

Once Raised For Princes Only. Now
the Worlds Food.
Wheat is the food of princes and
peasants. 1t is the food of the world.
1t was known to be the best food for
fifty centuries, but it did not until
thirty or forty years ago become uni
versal. Every community ate all it
raised. There was none to sell. 1t
was so precious that only kings and
the nobilities could afford it. 1t was
sowed by peasants, who reaped it
with sickle by hand. For 5000
years no better plan was conceived
than the sickle and the scythe Then
came the reaper, an invention by Cy-
rus H. Mccormick, of Scotch-Irish de-
scent. Then the world began eating
white bread
This new machine, the reaper, when
it was full grown into the self binder
was equal to forty sickles. With one
man to drive it. it could cut and bind
enough wheat in one season 10 feed
400 persons In it's most highly de-
veloped form. the combined harvester
and thrasher. it has become so gigan-
tic machine that thirty-two horses
are required to haul it.
This leviathan cuts fifty foot road
way through the grain. thrashes it
every half minute. and the total
world production of reapers of every
sort-self binders. mowers. headers.
corn binders. etc.-is probably as
many as 100000 year. two-thirds
of them being made in the United
States.
Because of this harvesting ma
chinery the wheat crop of the world
is now nearly twice what it was in
1879 The American crop has multi
piled six and half times in fifty
years. Western Canada. Australia,
Siberia and Argentina have become
wheat producers.
The cost of growing one bushel in
America with machinery and high
wages is now about half a dollar.
WHICH IL less Iudu Tic COOL Ill GulOPC
and as low as the cost in India. where
laborers can be hired for few pen
MES a day. With a sickle the time
cost of bushel of wheat was three
hours. With a self binder it is now
ten minutes.
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain. At the
outset it was shipped in bags. Then
some railway genius invented the grain
car. which holds as much as twenty or
twenty-five wagon loads. and today one
of the ordinary moving pictures Of an
American railroad is sixty car train
travelling eastward with enough wheat
in It's rolling bins to give bread to Il
city of 10000 people for year.
The Siberian railway, which is the
longest straight line of steel in the
world was built largely as wheat
conveyor. So were the railways Of
western Canada, Argentina and India.
1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
one country to another than from the
barn to the nearest town. The average
distance that an American farmer has
to haul his grain is nine and half
miles. and the average cost of haulage
is cents for hundred pounds Thus
it has actually become true that to
carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than 1900 miles by steamship.
Such is the tense efficiency of our
wheat carrier system that bushel of
grain can now be picked up in Mis-
souri, and sent to the cotton spinners
of England for dime.

No Show for
Grating Now

Land speculators who have ac-
cumulated broad acres in the north
west during the past few years at
isolated tract sales at prices iidic.
ulously low have bought their last
land from the government. There
is no possible show for the lana
grabber, who is dealt death blow
in a circular issued by the depart.
ment of interior, over the sigma
ture of Fred bennett, commission
er Of the land department, which
amends circular Of Dec. q, 1907.
Paragraphs 2 and 10, of the cir.
cular Of Dec. q, 1907, are hereby
amended to read as follows Tin
part:)
''That applicant desires to pur.
chase the land for his own indivis
dual use and actual occupation and
not for speculative purposes: that
he has not heretofore purchased;
under section 1856, revised statues
or the amendments thereto; isolated
tracts, the area Of which; when
added to the area now applied for;
will exceed approximately 100
acres"
The ruling is given considered
signi6ance by the land office Off
cials. It is probably one Of the
most far-reaching regulations that
has been made, and is in line with
former which tend to give the &C.
tual farmer settler dr homesteader,
prior rights at all times. AT the
same time it is likely that the gov
ernment will not secure as good
price for the land sold. Farmers
desiring to pick up isolated forties
adjoining or near their farms, will
now be able to do SO without COM
peting with city land speculators'
few of whom have not already ac-
cumulated more than the 100 now
allowed.
It will be necessary for the pur-
chaser of isolated tracts i'll the tu-
ture to make affidavit to the effect
that he will not exceed the l6O IL
nit with the land for which appli-
cation is made.
