A new CANADIAN RAILROAD
TWIN CITY LINE TO HUDSON'S
BAY PROJECTED.
Hills Companies and Canadian Gov.
eminent May Have Steel Laid
in 10 Months.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 2O.-It is
learned from an authoritative source
that the Great Northern and North.
ern Pacific, which jointly own char.
tiers to operate in western Canada un.
der tie names Of subsidiary compan.
les, will at once make arrangements
for the construction of a line to Lepas,
the junction from which the dominion
government line will run to Fort
Churchill on Hudson's bay.
Government surveyors are stalking
the final location and expect to have
the work completed this year. The
field notes of the preliminary surveys
are so complete that it would have
been possible to let contracts on them,
and it is expected tenders for at least
one section of the government line
will be let this year.
With the active construction now
being carried on by the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific it is not too
much to say that there may be almost
a direct line between the twin cities
and Hudson's bay within eighteen
months at the latest The Canadian
government is determined to rush the
work on the small section which now
remains for completion.
This route will bring Minneapolis
several hundred miles nearer the Eu-
ropean markets and, owing to the
cheapness of freight by water, it will
mean big saving on exports and i'm
ports.

Contract Let for New Lighting System
at Grand Forks.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 2O.-An.
other step in the plan of municipal
improvement that is being carried on
in Grand Forks was taken when the
contract was let for the installation
of an entire new lighting system for
the business district. The Electric
Construction company, of ST. Paul, Sc.
cured the contract for $2S,169 60, and
the work is to be completed in ninety
days.
The new lighting system will be
thoroughly modern in every respect,
being a copy or the plan now used in
Minneapolis and st. Paul. Cluster
lights on decorative posts at the sides
of the streets, with four such lights on
either side of the street in each block,

Spraying to Kill Weeds.

The eradication of farm weeds b.
spraying with iron sulphate (cop-
peras) is a matter attracting con-
siderable attention. Experimental
work has been done, especially in
Wisconsin, where wild mustard,
quack grass, Canada thistle, En-
glish plantain, daisy and other OBJ
noxious weeds cause, farmers much
trouble. Prof. R. A. Moore of the
Wisconsin experiment station has
just issued an interesting bulletin
on the subject and concludes after
experimenting during the seasons
of 1906 and 1907 that wild mustard
plants are readily killed without
injury to growing cereal crops, by
spraying grain fields with 2o%
solution of iron sulphate. The
spraying is done when the younger
mustard plants are in the third leaf
and before the older plants have
reached the blossoming stage.
Spraying should be done on
bright, warm day. A 2oa5 solution
sprayed at the rate of So gallons to
the acre will not injure wheat, oats,
barley, rye, corn oryoung seedlings
of clover
Other weeds like cocklebur, rag
weed, dandeliOns, daisies, wild let |
tuce, etc, were partially eradicated |
where tests were made for the era
dication Of mustard. Canada this
ties were not killed when sprayed
with the solution, although some
plants were seriously injured.
Relative to the expense, Prof
Moore estimates it at 81 rs an acre.
Good sprayers cost 500 to $50,
hand sprayers at $40 to SIP. His
estimation for the spraying of 20
acres is as follows: Team and man
FOR one day 81, one man for max
ng solution SI.75, one ton iron
;ulphate in Ioo-pound sacks $40,
reight per ton Of sulphate S3. IS.
As this field was SPRAYED in one
lay, he concludes that the actual |
,ost was sG.25 per acre. American

~ attachments. BY using them all the
trash can be turned under completely
This not only hastens the decay OF
such matter, but also adds greatly ia
the looks Of the field Too many farm
ers do not pay enough attention to
looks A ragged looking field may
raise just as large a crop as a smooth
one. It is true, but the farmer who is
careless In his blowing IS likely to be
careless in everything else.
If the plowing is done in the fall #
does not matter so much whether it
turns up cloddy or not. The hard
freezes Of winter are the best pulver-
izers that ever tore a clod to pieces.
This is one Of the advantages Of fall
plowing. One Of the disadvantages is
that in an open winter the soil is liza
BILE to wash badly This can be pre-
vented to some extent. however, by
planting a catch crop, such as oats or
millet, on the field after plowing.
The depth Of plowing viii vary with
the conditions. A light, sandy soil
does not need to be plowed as deeply
as a heavier one If the ground is
plOwed the same depth every year the
bottom of the furrow will become hard
and the roots will have difficulty IN
getting through it readily. A good plan
is to begin at. say four inches, and
pillow one-half inch deeper each year
until a depth Of seven or eight inches
is reached. Then go back to four
inches and begin over again. In this
way a little new soil is turned up
every season and the layer of surface
soil gradually deepened
Spring plowing should be shallower
than that done in the fall The soil is
full of TRY pores. its structure being
much the same as that Of light bread.
If you will put one corner of a slice
Of bread in a dish Of water you will
notice that it becomes wet for a con
siderable distance above the surface
Of the water This is caused by the
moisture flowing upward through the
little holes in the bread. The force
that causes water to rise in a small
tube IS called capillarity. 1t is this
capillarity that makes the water rise
from the subsoil up to the surface
where the roots can use it. The
smaller the capillary tubes the faster
and higher the water will rise.
When the ground is plowed these
capillary tubes are broken up. and the
rise Of water is checked To start it
again the soil must be allowed to settle
for long time or else be worked down
with the disk. harrow or roller. In the
fall the depth of plowing does not mat |
ter. since the furrOw slice will have all /
winter in which TO settle But in the
spriag this capillarity must be restored /
almost at once or the surface layer /
wiz become so dry that termination
and later growth will be checked.

In some parts Of the corn belt the
practice Of listing corn is followed
This consists in throwing up a large
furrow and planting the corn in the
bottom of it. In this case there can
be little previous preparation Of the
ground unless It is to go over it once
with the disk. Corn Is listed only on
very light soils, which do not puddle
or become cloddy easily. Such soils
need less preparation than the h'- vier

~INCE the condition Of the soil
has so much to do with the
readiness with which the plants
can get food from it one Of the
most important problems that confront
the farmer is the proper preparation of
the ground. The first work Of prepara-
tion usually consists OF plOwing. Plow-
ing the ground pulverizes it to some
extent and buries the weeds and trash
that may be on the surface.
Flowing should not be done when the
soil is too wet, or the first of these
objects will not be accomplished. In
stead Of being pulverlzed, the slice
turned up by the plow will be packed
together more firmly than ever and
will bake into a hard clod. The fur
row slice VIII also turn up cloddy If
the soil is too dry.
A good way TO tell when field is in
proper condition to be plowed is to
squeeze ball Of the dirt iu your hand
If it sticks together i'm a pasty mass
you had better let it dry a few days
longer If it hangs loosely together in
q mealy ball the plow can be set to
work at once Such soil will fall over
