1t is possible to rid the ranch Of this
pest in one year and realize profit
on the operation. Any time before
the weeds have attained much height
take a plow and harrow to the field
and before the day is done SOW one

well and the next day repeat the oper-
alton until the cocklebur territory has
been thoroughly covered. When the

have one Of the very best crops or
roughage to be had. Remove this crop
from the field as soon as convenient.

A REAL TREAT.


An English rural clergyman lives
In mental isolation which is the SUBJ
ject of an amusing yet somewhat pain
full story found in Rev. s. Barring
Gould's recent book, Cornish Charac-
ters and Strange Events" One day
William Penselly, geologist well
known in his time, was travelling on
foot for the purpose of examining the
rocks, when he learned that his road
lay within couple Of miles Of his old
mathematical friend, D. His time was
very short, but for "auld lang syne"
he decided to visit his friend, whom
he had not met for several years.
When he reached the rectory, which
was In a very secluded district, Mr..
and Mrs. D. were fortuntely at home,
and received him with their wonted
kindness.
The salutations were barely over
when Pengelly said:
"It is now o'clock. l must reach
Wellington tonight, and as 1t Is said
to be fully eight miles off, and I am
wholly unacquainted with the road,
and with the town when reach 1t,
cannot remain with you one minute
after o'clock"
"Oh, very WE'LL" said D. Then we
must improve the shining hour. Jane,
my dear, be so good as to order tea"
Having said this, he left the room.
In few minutes he returned with
book under his arm and his hands
filled with writing materials, which he
placed on the table. Opening the book,
he said:
This is Kinds Trigonometry, and
here's lot of examples for practice.
Let us see which can do the greatest
number of them by s o'clock. | did
most of them many years ago, but i
have not looked at them since. Sup
pose we begin at this one"-which he
pointed out-"and take them as they
come. We can drink our tea as we
work, 80 as to lose no time
"All right" said Pengelly, although
1t was certainly not the object for
which he had come out of his road.
They set to work. No words passed
between them; the servant brought IN
the tray, Mrs. D. handed them their
tea, which they drank now and then,
and the time flew on rapidly.
At length, finding it to be a quarter
to 8, Pengelly said, 1--WE must stop, for
In quarter of an hour must be on
my road"
Very well. Let us see how our an
swers agree with those of the author"
1t proved that D. had correctly solv-
ed one more than Pengelly had. This
point settled, Pengelly said, Good
by"
"Good-by. Do come again as soon
as you can. The farmers about here
know nothing whatever about trigo-
nometry"
They parted at the rectory door and
never met again, for D. died a few
years later.

PALACE OF EGYPTIAN KING.

House OF the Pharaoh HOphra, Con-
temporary of Jeremiah.
The great result of the work of this
year carried on at Memphis by Prof.
Flinders Petrie under the auspices Of
the British School of Archaeology, has
been the discovery of the palace OF
King Apries, the Pharaoh Hophra OF
the Bible, who was contemporary with
jeremiah, B. c. 629-5SS, lions Herald
says.
Hitherto no palace has been known
in Egypt other than the tower at Me-
dinet Habu and some portions of q
rather earlier date The palace was
400 feet long and 200 feet broad, with
middle court 100 feet square. 1t was
adorned with painted columns forty
feet high and surrounded with stone
lined walls fifteen feet thick. The ap-
proach to the palace led up through
a large mass Of buildings to a plat
form at height of about sixty feet
above the plain.
In the ruins scale armor, hitherto
rarely found in Egypt, was discovered.
Good bronze figures of the gods were
also found. What trof. Petrie de-
scribes as a supreme piece was the
fitting of a palanquin OF solid silver,
a pound in weight, decorated with
bust Of Hathor. with gold face OF
finest workmanship of the time Of
Apries.
The great gateway and immense
walls descend deep into the mound,
indicating that there lie ruins of sue
cessive palaces built one over the
other Prof. Petrie prophesies that in
six or eight years excavators might
dig down to the earliest records of the
Egyptian kingdom.

Testing Milk,

In some sections many of the bes,
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan of combining and hiring men to
visit each herd one day in the month
and test the milk of each COW, thus
giving the owners an idea Of which
cows are the ones that are paying for
their keep. This plan is a very sen.
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost is comparatively small, aa

plan has greatly increased the average

has taken up this matter. It is good
business and 1t may become popular,
but some Of our dairymen are hard

fathers.-Farmers and Drovers' Jour

Chambers is disease of horses, but
one from which, unfortunately, human
beings are not entirely exempt. For
merly cases of human glanders were
thought to be exceedingly few and far
between, the statistics of the registrar.
general In England, for example, show
Ing a mortality of only one or two
a year. Latterly, however, with i'm
proved means of diagnosis at our com
mand, it. has been proved that many
persons have had glanders and died of
1t with the real nature of the disease
unrecognized.
The ulcers have been diagnosed as
tuberculosis, as those Of typhoid, of
smallpox, or of some form of blood
poisoning. and they have been treated
accordingly, with, Of course, fatal re-
suits; for glanders is very dreadful
disease, the cure of which depends
upon prompt and radical measures.
To-day there is no excuse for any
failure In correct diagnosis, because
the special bacillus causing elanders-
called the Bacillus mallei-is peculiar
to this disease.
1t Is naturally those whose work
keeps them in close contact with horses
who are most in danger of glanders,
and 1t has also been known to attack
several members of family where the
father worked in stable, and one
case has been reported where a wash
erwoman caught 1t from infected cloth
ing.
Chambers may be either acute or
chronic. There may be a slow success
sion Of assesses attacking the mus
cles, or crawling along the Emphatic
system for months. Sometimes, after
surgical treatment, these assesses will
heal, and there will be no further
symptoms; sometimes a slow chronic
case will suddenly burst out into a
violent acute one, and death ensue.
Other cases are acute from the first,
and may be mistaken for blood-poison-
Ing from some other cause, or for an
acute specific fever until the terrible
eruption appears, too late for any treat
ment to be of avail.
AS to the treatment there Is little
that Is cheerful to be said. Thorough
cutting out Of the local sore is the
one and only thing on which to pin
any faith. Attempts have been made
to get an antitoxic serum, but so far
these have not been successful
The best fight against glanders has
been In the line of eradication of the
disease by means of the mallein test
on all suspicious animals. Any horse
which reacts to this test is at once
killed In England it is now the rule
that most of the large stables are reg
ularly tested with mallein.
Stablemen and all people working
round horses should bo taught the val
ue of cleanliness, and especially the
need Of great care when troubled with
any abrasion of the skin or open
wound, however small

pump for the Garden.

A good pump should be part of the
equipment of every garden. For the
small garden good bucket, COM
pressed air or knapsack pump will be
most satisfactory, while for larger
gardens barrel pump, with an at
tachment for spraying several rows
when occasion demands, or an auto
matte pump geared to the wheels of
the truck, will be found more economi-
cal of time and labor. The small
compressed air sprayer is handy, as 1t
leaves both hands free for use, and
is, therefore, useful If 1t Is desired to
spray two or three small trees, possi-
bly, with the use Of stepladder to
reach their tops.

When Orchards Fail.

The ashes from apple, pear and
peach trees contain about 70 per cent
OF lime, and the crops of fruit borne
every year also contains lime. Wher
orchards fail 1t is always profitable
to apply lime, and 1t should be done al
least once in five years. Wood ashes
are preferable to lime for orchards
but the lime is much cheaper. Lime
will also prove Of benefit to grass that
may be growing in an orchard, and II
Is destructive to certain grubs and
other orchard enemies. 1t is best ap
piled by plowing the orchard land and
broadcasting the lime over the sur

why Pity the FarmerY

Mr.. Mann Of Geuda Springs, says a
Kansas newspaper, loaded large, fat
hog into his automobile and took 1t to
market in Arkansas City, where he
got a good price for the porker. II
took him mighty short time to get
the hog to town and get the cash for
1t. A few minutes scrubbing fixed the
auto so that it did not smell like a
barnyard, and the hog probably en-.
joyed the ride. What's the use hold
ing meetings trying to improve con.

PRICE OF AUTOGRAPHS UP.
Use of the Typewriter Makes Writ
ten Manuscript More Valuable.


ten Manuscript More Valuable.
The tendency to use the typewriter,
according to collectors Of rare manu-
scripts, Is to increase gradually but
surely the value Of autographs. 1t Is
becoming difficult to find any but type
written letters Of eminent men of this
era, especially those In public office.
The raise in price, however, is notice
able also in the letters of distinguish
ed persons Of past generations. The
autographs of the eminent men of the
revolutionary period, for instance, are
each season commanding higher fig
ures. The latest sale at Anderson's of
autographs furnishes proof of this up
ward tendency Of prices for important
items, the New York Times says. 1t
so happened that some Of the inter-
esting letters had been sold only a
few years ago in New York, Philadel-
phia or Boston.

Fertilizers may be divided into two
general classes-dlrect and indirect,
or nutritive and stlmulant. A direct
or nutritive fertilizer is one which
furnishes nourishment to the growing
crop. Nourishment means simply nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
These are the three ingredients which
must be renewed through the medium
OF manures and fertilizers. A stimu-

There are several points in feeding
sheep that must not be overlooked.
The feed lot must be dry, with plenty
of clean, dry bedding; the animals

that the sheep cannot foul them with

One of the dangers of little knowl-

Horses and Corn Growing.

Horses ana corn Growing.
In growing corn one of the factors
that is seldom rated at its true worth
is first-class motive power. Anyone
who has plowed, narrowed, planted
and cultivated with an Unmatched,
short-weighted, high-strung team
knows how difficult it is to do good
work. No farm hand thus handicapped
can render a service that is satisfac-
tory to good farmer. Farm teams
should be evenly matched as to age,
size and temperament. Weight is es-
sential Teams should be big enough
to keep a reserve power constantly
on tap; they should draw any imple-
ment with ease and at steady, lively
pace. If they are of standard draft
type and are shifted occasionally
from one class of service to another
they will go through the season with
out breakdowns. This depends, how
ever, to large extent on how they
are fed and managed. Much depends
also on the ease and comfort which
they enjoy in the collar; sore necks
and CALLED shoulders, due to poorly
fitted collars, prove serious obstacles
to good, continuous work. Corn-belt
farms should be equipped with heavy
draft teams; the highest type of di-
versified agriculture in that territory
depends on this reliable, efficient mo-
tive power. Big horses bear close
relationship to a. big corn crop.-Chi.
