Fad Weeds Spreading.

In my travels this year, says a
correspondent, ] notice more Buck
horn, Bindweed and Sow Thistle
than | have ever seen before Each
one of these weeds is d vasy bad one:
and it will take some very vigorous
vcrk to keep them in check. Buck
born has spread the furthest--prob-
ably due to its general presence in
clover seed. II is a perennial, and
becomes very Troublesome in pas
lures and meadows. The best way
to overcome it is to plow up the field
and put it into a crop which may be
frequently cultivated during the sea-
son. Bindweed resembles the wild
morning glory. 1t is one of the most
difficult to kill, as simply cutting it
OFF does not check it. It grows from
spring till fall, and forms a great
network of roots. About the only
way to kill it is to keep cutting off
its leaves until its roots are exhaust
ed. Sow Thistle is another extreme
ly pernicious weed. 1t Is also a per-
ennial and IS becoming much more of
menace than ever. Only by thor
ough cultivation and constant vigi-
lance can one expect to kill 1t and
prevent further spreading.

Saloon Is Doomed.

The Official organ of the National
Liquor League of America, which is
published under the name, Bever-

periodical in the service of alcohol, in
expressing the opinion that the sa-
loon is doomed. 1t writes editorially
as follows:
THE result in Georgia presents no
pleasant outlook for any section of
the business. That State in its judg-
ment has treated all alike, and no
false notion that beer Is q temper
ance beverage and should be allowed

I'VE dislike to acknowledge it, but
we really believe the entire business

some sections of the country is ad-
vancing like prairie fire and not a
hand raised to stop its progress.

Relief In sorrow-John II: Id

Relief In Sorrow-John IL: 1-46.
We do not appreciate the full mean
ing of Christs comfort for sorrow un.
til we consider the greatness of the
need for that comfort. Take the sor-
rows that are like that of Mary and
Martha-sorrows because of bereave-
ment. Do you know the meaning of
such sorrow when 1t comes into your
own home? You will know, for this is
an experience that is universal. And
when your grief seems to cloud all
life, remember that there are at least
hundred thousand graves made
every day. A hundred thousand peo.
pie pass from earth every twenty-Iour
hours. That means four thousand
every hour, or sixty-six every minute.
Listen to the big clock. Every tick
some soul goes forth, and the shadows
fall upon some home, and some hearts
are broken. How great the worlds
need OF relief in sorrow!
Then there are sorrows that come
from disappointments, those that
come because Of sin, sorrows because
of the suffering of those whom we
love, sorrows from many other
sources. Here, then, is the world with
its sin, its sickness, its WEAKNESS, its
heartache, its grief. And over against
all this is Gods comfort, abundant, di.
vine, eternal. And between these two
stands the blessed Christ. He is our
relief in sorrow, for God is able to
supply all your needs according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"

Inland Cities For BalIooaine.

New York is too near the seacoast
for good ballooning. Generally speak
Ing, it isn't safe to make an ascen-
sion near the seacoast unless the wind
Is blowing inland. The sea is one
great menace to ballooning. because
unless you keep very near the earth
1t is possible that a shift of wind may
carry the balloon out where a dry
land descent can not be made. It Is
for that reason that inland points
like North Adams, Pittsf1eld, Spring
field, Mass, Indianapolis, st. Louis
and Milwaukee have been selected for
initiating stations when the large ball
looms are to be used. The longest
time one OF these balloons has re-
mained in the air is seventy-three
hours, the winning balloon In the in
ternational race of 1908 establishing
this record. The contraction and ex-
pansion regulated by the air condi-
tions In which balloon travels have
much to do with the length of time
1t stays aloft and the distance 1t is
capable of travelling New York Sun.

Ratio of Butter Far.

Professor Il. H. Harrington, the
dairy writer, touching many matters
OF dairy Interest, explains the ratio of
butter fat in Hoard's Dairyman. He
says
me difference between butter fat
and the overrun Is the water, salt and
cufd In the butter. Butter is not
the pure butter fat. The substances
mixed with butter fat vary from ten
TO eighteen per cent with each
chnrning OF butter. Butter, as a rule,
contains about eighty-two per cent
butter fat, the rest is water, salt and
curd' as already mentioned.
The overrun means the excess in
"elght OF the butter over the butter
Iat IN milk or cream from which the
butter is made.
III lOO pounds OF cream tested
forty per cent fat. this means that
there was forty pounds OF butter fat
IN the cream. II the weight OF the
butter was fifty-fiye pounds. then tbe
increase Is the difference between
fitty-hye and forty. which is fifteen
pounds. The per cent. overrun is
then obtained by dividing fifteen by
forty and multiplying by 100. which
Is about thirty-seyen per cent. This
Is an abnormal overrun and shows
that the butter must have had a large
quantity OF water mixed with It. II
would be called Illegal butter, as gen.
uine butter according TO the United
States standard. must not contain
over sixteen per cent. water. The
usual oyerrun from cream Is about
twenty per cent. and thirty-seyen per
cent. Is way beyond the ordinary
practice and 1t would be a fraud for q
person 10 make such butter and place
