manure spreaders are defective in

other year or two the number and va.

increased.
The machine used by Professors
Moore and Horton on the Wisconsin
farm Is OF German make and was
brought to this country in 1906.
1t is important to have a machine
strongly built and of the very best
construction and capable of using all
kinds of chemicals.
Sulphate of iron, which is perhaps
the most effective chemical used, must
be applied with the right kind of ma.
chine in order to produce perfect re-
suits.
1t has been suggested by expert
mentors that farmers might form a
small club to buy one or more ma
chimes to be used jointly, thus saving
the expense and obtaining equally
good results as though each farmer
owned his own machine. Hand spray

If the chemicals would do nothing
more than destroy the Canada thistle
in this country 1t will have served a
great purpose. This weed is the most
dangerous in all the list of weed pests
and perhaps the most difficult to over
come.
In thickly infested fields solution
of 20 per cent. of sulphate of iron ap

an acre will kill the thistle. They
should be sprayed just before the
buds begin to open, when the thistles
are from ten to IL inches high, as this
prevents them from going to seed.
The spraying should be repeated
once year for three years in order
to entirely eradicate the thistle.

There's lots of things I'd like to say
about the womens fads to-day,
About how they to-day are thin and on
the morrow fat,
But just when pungent phrase ] form.
just when my thoughts are getting
warm,
1t happens that 1 look upon my new
plush hat.
The foolish things that women do really
ought to roast that's true;
They way they try TO get to vote is
funny, as to that;
But just when i take up my pen to write
about the sense of men
My eyes will wander till they see my
new plush hat
know that women always wear a pile of
artificial hair
In switch and coil and dainty puff and
huge and monstrous rat,
But as l turn a paragraph designed to
make the reader laugh
Upon the hook before me looms my
new plush hat.
A fuZZy-wuzzy thing, indeed; devised to
meet my cranial need,
But with the lack of beauty of a drip
ping, half-drowned cat; ..
Before l think that / should try to pick
the mote from sisters eye
l mediate a moment on my new plush
hat.
An olive green-a dainty green-a cute
and cunning tint, 1 ween;
But whittier are we drifting and what
are we driving at?
l give 1t up in sore despair; I'll jest no
more of women's wear
Since have been induced to don a new
plush hat.

Tomato Bread.

Bakers are not perhaps generally
aware that up to certain point to-
matoes can be used with advantage
in the manufacture of bread that
has the fine favor Of the fruit, with
its stimulating and nourishing propen-
stiles; while besides, the bread win
keep longer and moister than ordinary

The bread has the characteristic
color OF the tomato. All that is re-
quired is that the tomato mash. after
being submitted to sterilizing tenn
perature. should be carefully screened
through sieve and then used as part
of the mixture.
