Destroying Quack Grass.

l often see directions given for kill
ing out quack grass, but l think they
are all inferior to the method that
employ. would never try to drag
out the roots with harrow or rake, be-
cause not all of the roots will be gath
cred and those left will soon fill the
soil again. The pest can most easily
be killed right where 1t Is, the roots
furnishing an abundance of plant food,
by using double action cut-away har-
row. Now, please don't think that any
kind of harrow will do, because 1t
will not. II you rely on any except
the one have mentioned you will
be disappointed. | have used one to
destroy quack grass many times, and
am sure of what am writing. If you
plow before using the harrow, run the
plow shallow-just deep enough to
turn over the quack roots, bottom side
up; let lay thus for week and then
go over the field with the double ac-
tion cutaway harrow; then after a
few days repeat the narrowing and
keep at 1t, going over the field at in
tervals Of few days until the pest
Is all destroyed. 1t is no use to think
that II the field be gone over, perhaps
dozen times in one day, the quack
will be killed, for the sun. as well as
the harrow, must get In Its work.
The way to do is to go over the field
once, then wait few days for the
roots to dry and repeat the operation.
By being thorough in this the grass
can be destroyed and crop grown the
same year If commenced early in the
spring.. H. Dow in Agricultural

Danger of Barbed Wire.

Barbed wire is all right, for stock
cattle and makes cheap fence, but
it Is hard to construct such a fence to
turn hogs, and, owing to its danger
GUS characteristics, 1t Is out of the
question for horses, and even for
milch cows.
With the woven wire fence the post
expense Is not so great as that of the
other kinds, as they need not be so
heavy, and may be set a good distance
apart. Heavy end posts are an abso-
lutte necessity, and they should be set
In the ground not less than 3h to 4
feet deep. If the line posts are 20 to
70 feet apart it is very good idea
to have every fourth post of good size,
longer than the others, to allow extra
setting. In setting end posts dig a
big hole, put the post in. and begin to
tamp and ram from the very bottom,
not filling 1t too fast, so as to get the
earth about the post packed from the
bottom to the top. The dead man"
plan Of bracing post is perhaps bet
ter than any other. The dead man"
Is a short post or heavy stone buried
about feet deep, feet from the
end posts, and with cable made of
plain galvanized wire to the post top
and around the dead man the post
can be held for years as firmly as
when set. Be sure to use galvanized
wire, as black wire will not last more
than six or seven years.
A 30-inch high woven wire fence,
two smooth No. 10 and one barbed
wire at the very top, makes good
fence for any kind of stock. and can
be put up for less than 40 cents per
rod, exclusive of posts.-Lexingto

Fattening Hogs.

Fattening Hogs.
The hog Is an omniverous animal,
and needs "roughage" and green feed
for his best health and growth. A cer-
tain amount of grain feed Is needed
to grow hogs with the greatest profit,
and still more Is necessary to fatten
and fit them for market. When young
animals have an abundance of range
with good supply of nitrogenous
foods. like alfalfa, clover, vetches and
COW peas. corn makes valuable addi-
tion to the ration, but should not be
given In excess, and will usually be
found more profitable II mixed with
shorts, bran or other feed combining
large proportion Of protein. For
young pigs bran is not so good as
shorts and ground COW peas may be
used In the place of the latter when
the price exceeds 500 per ton.
Feeding for the finish should not
begin more than ten or twelve weeks
before the hogs are to be sold. For
the last six or eight weeks corn Is un-
doubtedly the best grain, as the feed
consumed during this time greatly in
fuences the quality of the meat. Hogs
take on flesh rapidly during the first
weeks of heavy feeding, but longer
feeding means slower gains. Quick
work pays in fattening as we'll as in
growing hogs, and when the animals
are on good feed and fail to make a
gain Of at least one pound daily they
should be sold or butchered.
Market your hogs at or 8 months
Of age, at which time they should
weigh 200 to $50 pounds. A greater
per cent of profit is secured than II
you keep them until 10 or IL months
old. because you avoid so to 120 days
Of daily animal waste. However,
hog which is made to weigh 800
pounds at year is quite profitable.

WHAT IT COSTS TO LIVE.
An Increase of 40 Per Cent Since
1890 Computed by Bradstreet's.

1890 Computed by Bradstreet's.
The average householder finds some
difficulty in getting the full measure
of satisfaction from the return Of the
country to trade activity, for the cost
of living, which has been increasing
rapidly for most of the last thirteen
years, is again advancing from the
slightly lower levels brought by the
depression of 1908. All through the
past summer the prices of the neces-
saries of life have been slowly advanc-
ing, reaching on Aug. 1 the highest
figure reported for that date, save one
In 1907. 1t is rather startling to see
that the average cost of the supplies
practically every household must buy
has increased over 40 per cent since
1896, says the Review of Reviews. The
Bradstreet agency has selected 106 ar
ticles of domestic consumption and has
kept a careful record OF their prices
month by month for seventeen years.
The highest point ever reached was in
March 1, 1907, after which came the
moderate slump caused by the finan-
cial disturbances of that year. We are
now marching steadily back toward
this high record, and the August fig
ures are only 6.8 per cent below It,
Some of the individual cases OF In
creased costs are much more impress
sive than the average. Rubber has ad-
vanced from 81 cents a pound in 1898
to $1.9s pound now; pork, from $S.25
barrel to s21.75; eggs, from 1874
cents dozen to % cents; mutton,
from 51a cents pound to II cents;
corn, from "a cents a bushel to 80
cents; wheat, from "a cents a bushel
to $120, and 80 forth. The figures
given are wholesale prices, and as a
rule the advance to the ultimate con.
sumer has been decidedly greater.

Grain SHUTS.

A dangerous parasite of many Of the
cereal plants Is the fungus that pro
duces In the grain or head what Is
known as smut. There are several
well known kinds of smut, each OF
which is caused by distinct species
of the fungus.
The greatest loss from smuts in this
country is from the sinking smut OF
wheat and the loose smut of oats. A
considerable loss Is also due to the
loose smuts of barley and wheat
which are more difficult to control and
prevent. They are widely distributed,
and though they occur usually In small
quantities the damage in the aggregate
is large. They often are entirely un-
noticed on account of their earliness
and the absence of any conspicuous
sign of them at harvest time.
The sinking smut of wheat trans
forms only the kernels into smut balls
which do not break until the wheat is
threshed and often remain intact in
the threshed grain. The loose smuts
of barley, on the other hand, early dis
charge their spores, which are blown
on by the wind as soon as the smutted
head comes out of the leaf sheath;
they infect the plant in the Towering
stage and enter the embryo inside the
ovary before the latter ripens into
seed. An infected seed developes a
snutted plant the following year.
The most successful method thus far
found for preventing these smuts is a
hot-water treatment of the seed. This
treatment Is described in Bureau Of
Plant Industry bulletin 152, entitled
The Loose SHUTS of Barley and
Wheat" recently issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture
The bulletin is a report of recent re-
searches into the life histories of these
smuts and the determination Of meth
DDS for their prevention.

Legal Information

arising from defective sidewalk, un-
less notice Of the accident were filed
within twenty days. Plaintiff slipped
and fell on ice and snow which had
been allowed to accumulate on side
| walk and sued for damages. BY the
fall he was rendered unconscious In
stantly, and remained in that condi-
ton for more than twenty days, and
was therefore unable to give the city
| notice of the accident within that
time. In MeCollum vs.. City of South
Omaha, 121 Northwestern Reporter,
43S, the Nebraska Supreme Court, in
an opinion from which Judge Fawcett

strength and severity, held that the
incapacity of plaintiff resulting from
his injury did not extend the time,

Since 1907 st. Johns Chapel has

tion, and the plaintiffs are required to
conform to the canons, usages and
discipline of the church of which they
are members. The judicial power Is
reluctant to interfere in matters of
religious or ecclesiastical arrangement,
and will do SO only when rights of
property or civil rights are involved.
No such rights appear to be affected
by this controversy. No cause having
been presented for the cognizance Of a
court Of equity, the application for In
junction was denied.
Alabama enacted a law in 1907 pro-
viding that II any foreign corporation
procured the removal of a cause from
a state to a federal court its franchise
would be Cancelled. and any contract in
Interstate business thereafter made by

entrance of the state by the telegraph
company it had a constitutional assur-
ance that "all corporations shall have
the right to sue in all courts in like
cases as natural persons" In Western

Federal Reporter, 1866, an injunction
was sought to prevent the operation Of
the statute. The circuit court, grant
Ing the injunction, characterized the
statute as an attempt to forfeit prop
erty or business because its owner
exercised a constitutional right in a
lawful way, in a resort to the courts
of his country for justice, and as
transcending all the bounds of the
legislative power, being mere edict
of despotism. No court which sits to
administer the fundamental law can
recognize 1t as a legitimate exercise
Of power.

Rest Type of Milch Cows.

A cow with her second or third calf
Is the most desirable of all, and this
is undoubtedly the most profitable age
to buy them. AS mixers and breed
ers, they have all their best days in
front of them, and with sufficient time
to pay handsomely. Young and old
cows are very distinct in appearance.
The former have an unmistakable ap-
pearance of fullness of flesh and coat,
while the old ones are more or less
shrunk. The teeth give an indication
of age, and the horns are often looked
to as a guide, the young having smooth
horns, while those of the aged are
wrinkled. If cross-breeds are bought,
get them with the greatest tendency
toward the best breed the cross has
been secured from. Cows with a male
or bull type of head are rarely good
mixers. The head should be refined,
neck thin, forequarters wide, square
and robust, with deep, broad thighs.
