The knowledge that there is money
in the very common and much de-
spised weeds is spreading every year.
and very considerable industry in
medicinal weeds has arisen. but it is
far short Of what 1t should be. The
average farmer cannot bring himself
to regard as other than a heresy the
declaration that q weed is simply
useful plant out of place.
The price paid by big jobbing drug
houses for leaves, flowers or roots of
the commoner weeds which af1lict the
farmer with their presence when he
lets them get out OF place are as fol-

BOX PLANT PROTECTOR.

second cut, is made entirely Of wire
screen. The one shown was made by
cutting a circular piece of wire screen
twenty-four inches in diameter and
then folding over n section, amounting
to one-fourth to one-third Of the cir
conference, and fastening with short
pieces Of small wire pushed through
the meshes and the ends twisted to-
gether. 1t gives a good idea as to
how these protectors are made. At re-
tail prices the protectors made this
way will cost s cents each, but they
have this advantage over the box
style-the light and air have full ac-
cess to the plants, as glance at the
Ink bottle in the wire plant protector
will prove. the bottle being placed in
the center of the protector. These
pictures were taken early in April, and
the ink bottle had to do duty in place
Of the plants. Another advantage Of
this style is that the protectors may
be nestled together and stored easily

when no longer needed. II given q
coating of coal tar or some weather
proof paint occasionally these protect
ors should last for years. Some Of the
smallest beetles can crawl through the
meshes of wire screen. but one can
easily kill the very few that get inside.
The bush or summer sQuashes il
taken when tender and cooked like
eggplant are much superior to that
well known vegeta bic. OF course
where the bush souashes are about
mature and before the borers leave
the stem to hibernate in the soil the
vines should be pulled and destroyed
to kill the borer. THIS should be done
about Aug. 1; the time varies with the
latitude. Spraying the first four or
five joints of the squash vine mot the
leaves, with kerosene emulsion Is a
good plan. as also are catching aud kill
ing the adult moth. which IL very con-
spicuous and easily found when once
known However. the trap crop plan
will be found to be the most practical
and satisfactory method Of dealing
with the squash borer. In using the
above described screen protectors 1t is
well to remember that the soil should
be drawn up about the edges Of the
box or wire screen and hrmed down
80 as to be sure that none Of the bugs
can crawl under the sides

PAYS TO RAISE WEEDS.
These "PlAnts Out Of Place" Have q
Fixed Market Value.


Fixed Market Value.
Money in weeds? To be sure. The |
national department Of agriculture has |
been for many years telling the farm |
ers Of the large money value going to !
waste each year in this country in the
shape Of pernicious weeds and has
been issuing bulletins with directions
for collecting, curing and selling the
weeds. A quarter of century ago
Or. George B. Loring, the commission
er of agriculture, called attention to
the fact that In Germany many OF the
commonest and most pernicious weeds
that the American farmer has to con-
tend with were successfully and prof
itabIy cultivated. Burdock, dandelion.
witch grass, foxglove, mullen, bore
hound, jimson. mustard and water
hemlock are among our commonest
weeds and grow in great profusion al
most everywhere in the United States.
Ordinarily they are regarded merely
as troublesome weeds. The trouble, OF
course, Is in the lazy habit of attempt
ing to grow weeds and cultivated crops
on the same land at the same time.
So it often happens that the witch
grass between the potato rows Is more
valuable than the tubers in the hills.
When you raise weeds you must make
a business Of it. Land that will raise
nothing else will raise weeds. The
jimson grows in rank profusion about
the feed lot, the front yard is yellow
with dandelion flowers, and the flow
ers Of the mullen bedeck the pastures.
The burdock grows in the roadside
fence corners. and the waste lot pro-
duces an abundance Of witch grass and
comfrey, yet a majority Of the drug
weeds used in medicine in this coun-
try are still imported and paid for at a
high rate.
Without counting NORWOOD, tansy
and rhubarb, all Of which are weeds in
favored places, and without including
catnip or pennyroyal or any Of the
mints, the American people are pay
ing out more than 100000 a year in
hard earned money for imported
weeds which are growing wild in near
~ every part Of the country. The i'm
ports for the year 1908 were as fol-
lows:

PROTECTION FOR SQUASH.
Two Practical and Inexpensive Plans
to Prevent Ravaqes Of 6orsrs.

Two Practical and inexpensive Ptano
to Prevent Ravagss Of 6orsrs.
The most difficult matter about
growing squashes is to protect the
vines from the various insects that
prey upon them. This is especially
true in the home garden and small
plots near buildings or near where
squasles or other vine crops were
grown the previous year, because the
insects hibernate in the buildings and
in the ground near the vines they fed
upon for the winter. For the striped
cucumber beetle there is no poison or
repellent that will prove effective and
satisfactory at all times. The box
plant protector shown in the cut is II
by IL inches and six inches high, cover
ed with wire screen, which is set over
the hill when the seeds are planted
and left on until the plants get too
large. Protectors of this type may be
made OF old pine boxes or other odds
and ends, and they need not cost over
cents apiece, even If the lumber must
be purchased. Another style, in the

Glad He Was Not Drawn Into
A fractional Scrap in
The Party.
A BIG ROW IS BREWING
MARSHALL WAS ASKED TO BUTT
INTO THE INDIANAPOLIS NAY
Orally TRoueLE, BUT he
TURNED IT DOWN.

indianapolis. July Ex-Governor
Marshall believes he has narrowly es-
capped being drawn into the factional
fight in the democratic party In this
city which has ragged for years be-
tween the Taggart faction and the
ants. He is congratulating himself
too, that he has been able to keep out
of 1t.
A city election will be held in this
city this fall. and the only candidates
announced for the democratic nomin.
alton for mayor are Charles e. Clark, a
lawyer whom Tom Taggart is support
ing, Charles A. Gauss, who was mem
her Of the last legislature and grocer
named w. A. Knoll. who has no more
chance of the nomination than lame
rabbit.
They Are Disguised.
The rank and file of the democrats
in the city are disgusted with the out
look None Of these candidates Is &C
ceptable to the party. and 1t is con
ceded that If either one Is nominated
he will be defeated as sure as the
election comes around. 1t means q
sure victory for the republicans. Even
the governor has fears of this kind.
Recently there sprang up demand
for former Mayor John w. Holtzman
to come out for the nomination. II
was cinch that he could have the
nomination II he would only announce
himself and go after 1t. But Hoffman
was not willing to go into the race un
less the rest of the candidates would
withdraw. A large portion Of the par
ty was anxious that this be done and
negotiations were on for some time be
tween the followers of Gauss and
Clark and Hoffman looking to that
end There was 4 hitch some where
and the aid OF Governor Marshall was
sought in the effort to clear up the sit
uation. He was asked to bring abou,
the withdrawal of the other oandi
dates.
Not For Thomas.
1t was this that the governor re
fused to have anything to do with. He
said he did not propose to mix up In
the local situation and get his fingers
burned. He would not line up will
any faction Of the party. and he fear
ed that II he butted in anywhere hi
would get the worst of it.
So he refused to mix in the scrap
and the result was that yesterda,
Hoffman announced that he will no
be a candidate for the nomination
Governor Marshall said he wished t.
do all In his power to promote har
mony in the party anywhere in tn,
state. but that he did not propose t.
allow anyone to use him.
