Keeping Down the Weeds.

Years ago the hoe was the principal
implement in use for killing weeds
Now it is largely hung away to make
room for the horsepower broadcast
method of doing the work with horses
on broader scale and at more rapid
rate. The smoothing harrow is now
taking the place of the hand hoe. The
horse power and the machine are now
doing the work of the former hired man
This is a great thing in the progress now
being made on the farm. Nowhere il
this being better illustrated than with
the hoeing.
In the first place it has been learned
that the hoeing must be largely done by
the thorough preparation of the land
before the seeding, when there is moth
ing in the way of the horse power i'm.
plement in thoroughly working the soil
tc a goodly depth. Following the seed.
ing on soil thus prepared all that is
called for in the hoeing is simply
scratching the surface in form that
will destroy the weeds as soon as they
start to grow. With our level culture OF
the planted crop the first step in the
hoeing is so to stir the surface as to kill
these starting weeds. To do this moth.
ing can be better than broad light
frame, fine tooth, smoothing harrow, OF
weeder, that will thoroughly stir the
surface soil and let the sunshine do the
work. On soil properly prepared be.

for hoeing than simply stirring the sur,
face. The digging was done before the
planting. Maine Farmer.

The Finished Product PAYS.

The difference between selling the raw
material and the finished product means
more than the average farmer is aware.
The man who sells his hay when he
could feed it and sell live stock or dairy
products is selling raw material when be
ought to be selling asuperior article that
the market is willing to pay the high
price for. 1t is the finished product that
can dictate prices and terms, always.
The raw material never can. We see
precisely the same principle involved in
the man who raises up a good colt and
sells him before he 10 hardly halter brok-
en-, or the man who raises good pair of
cattle and sells them for beef when they
could be turned for fancy oxen by very
little attention. We saw man only a
few weeks ago who paid $3.50 for pair
of cattle to show at the fairs this fall.
The man who sold them bought them
last fall for $3.50, fed them through the
winter and got 800 for 80 doing. We
could fill this entire page with precisely
Just such propositions, but we trust we
have made the situation clear and will
not weary our readers with more details.

But the girls understood. and when
Mr.. Sanders came in and the supper
dishes were done they made the little
mother sit in the rocking chair while
they draped the folds Of silk around
her, and their father agreed with them
that "she looked just like queen. u
though he had very hazy idea what
queen looked like.
"Wasn't 1t fun?" said Mabel just
before she dropped to sleep that night
Lets spend all our money that way
instead Of going to college"
The next morning they were up and
had their wagon loaded when the sun
came peeping up over the haystack.

coming in, which made the work seem
great deal easier. 1t was fun, too,
In a way-there were so many differ.
ent sorts of people, and they made so
many queer remarks.
There was the old negro nanny
who hailed the "apple girls" as a de-
liverance from the daily fare Of dried
prunes; the wistful looking old man
who said he liked apple pie. but his
wife didn't and if he bought any ap
pies it would make trouble" and the

that he had eaten two apples last year
and they tasted good. Poor little fel.

road toward them.

BY that time Snyder had reached the
wagon. ''DO you girls realize what you
are doing?" he said sharply.
Gladys brushed stray lock back

You're breaking the city ordinance.
Snyder went on. ignoring her remark

"Put us in Jail for selling apples"

Certainly, unless you have license.
It's against the law to peddle without

Mabel was plainly frightened. I'VE
didn't know there was any such law
she said.
THAT doesn't make any difference,
Snyder went on. But I'll tell you
what I'll do. II you'll agree not to
peddle any more apples in this town
I'll let you off this time"
Gladys looked up suspiciously. Are

reins 81 wish papa had been here"
The girls drove around by the bank
again and added $50 to their ba
deposit before they started for home.

the old banker kindly as Gladys hand,
ed him the money.
"Yes," she replied; we're just selling
our apples"
"Snyder's getting them. suppose" F."
said the banker.
"Indeed he is not" Gladys replied
"We're peddling them"
The bankers face grew serious. "Of
course it's none Of my business" be
said but I'd advise you not to op,
pose Snyder. He Is u great deal more
powerful than you are. and he may
make you trouble"
Snyder was just trying to frighten
you," said Mr.. Sanders when they
told him about 1t that night. There
is an ordinance that peddlers must
have licenses. but farmers who peddle
things they raise themselves are not
considered as peddlers. The banker
probably does a lot Of business with
Snyder and doesn't want to see any
trouble"
Cant you 60 in with us tomorrow
asked Mabel.
Not very WELL" her father answer

thrash. IF Snyder says anything
more to you, though, I'll 80 with you
next time and see that he gets what's

his appearance.

Prof. Wings Conclusions.

After a years. observation with the
herd at Cornell University Experiment
Station, II. II. Wing, professor of dairy
husbandry, reaches the following con
clusions:
1st. With fairly good herd, care
fully fed and kept, milk can be produced
for IS cents per cwt., and fat for II
cents per pound for the cost of food con-
sumed.
End. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk and
butter production than do the breeds
themselves.
3rd. The large animals consumed
les pounds Of dry material per 10OC
pounds live weight per day than did
the smaller animals.
4th. That in general the best yield:
OF fat were obtained from cows thai
gave at least a fairly large flow of milk
5th. In general, the COW consuming
the most food, produced both milk and
fat AT the lowest rate.
9th. For the production OF milk an6
fat there is no food so cheap as gooC
pasture grass.

Vt was four weeks before Mr.. San

didn't want any masculine assistance.
he put OH his overals and began to
help them gather the luscious fruit.
In accordance with Mr.. Pearsons in
structions. they were placing the ap-
pies In huge piles and covering them
with straw until they could provide
some more permanent place to store
them
81 wish we had cold storage house.
said Gladys "These Wealthys won't
keep very long any other way. and
they aren't worth much now"
"You ought to have sold them to
Snyder" said Mabel.
You don't catch me selling apples
to a trust" Gladys answered. "Ill
make them into pies and let JEFF eat
them first"
"What are you going to do with
them:" her father asked. "There must
be nearly seventy barrels Of these
Wealthys."
1--WE might make them into cider
suggested Mabel.
"I've thought Of better plan than
that" said Gladys. "The Glen City
Cold Storage company stores apples
for dollar a barrel, so Mr.. Pearson
told me. The Wealthys will keep In
storage till the middle Of February.
and by that time they'll be worth 81
or s. barrel"
The next day the girls left their fa-
ther to pick apples alone and went to
town to talk with the storage man.
Eighty barrels. did you say?" asked
the manager when Gladys had explain
ed what they wanted. 81 guess we
can handle that many all right. What
did you say your name was? he went
on, drawing his book toward him.
He gave surprised whistle when
GLADYS told him and excused himself
for a moment.
"I'm sorry" he said as he came
back, "but find that we haven't any
more room. Good day"
The girls stared at him in blank sur
prise. and II was not till they were
halfway home that Gladys suddenly
exclaimed: ITS snyder's doings, Ma
bel. You know. he said we couldn't
sell our apples unless we sold them
to him. But well show him yet"
81 don't see how" Mabel objected.
WED better have let him have them
and saved any trouble"
1t took about week longer to fin
ish picking the apples. After they
were all piled and covered with straw
Mr. Sanders helped the girls load up
wagon load. and they started for
town to peddle them.
They found 1t no trouble at all to
get rid Of them at dollar bushel.
for Snyder's corner was already be-
ginning to make itself fek. BY the
middle of the afternoon the entire
load was gone. The girls drove around
by the bank, and Gladys ran in and
deposited SIS. There was still $12 left
Of the money the apples had brought.

gave an exclamation Of horror. There
standing in the middle Of the road not
ten rods ahead, was Don, her little
live-year-old cousin. He stood direct
~ In the path of the frenzied runa
ways, too frightened to move.
Gladys tried to shout to Don, but
the words stuck In her throat. Then
she became aware Of confused
shouting and saw Jeff Pearson run
ming with all his might across the pas
ture. What was 1t that he was say
ing: The lever? She looked at the
biz lever curiously. What did that
have to do with It? Poor little Don
He would be ground to pieces beneath
the cruel hoofs Of the flying horses
and it would be her fault. She shud
dered and put her hand up to her eyes
to shut out the awful sight.
Then Jeff's cry game again. more

In a fash she understood. With 9
quick jerk she grasped the big lever
and sent the point of the plow down
into the hard road. With sharI
crack the stout whiffletrees snapped
but the shock threw the runaways t(
their knees and checked them for
moment.
An instant later Jeff had them BY
the heads and was speaking reassur
ingly to them. while Gladys claspet
