the less they yield to q very natural
impulse to rush their stuff to a de-

About the last section Of the country

ed by the real estate agent would seem
ito be locality in which quack grass
had gained a foothold, and yet the e1-
perience of one Minnesota farmer,
whose case was related to us directly
the other day, would seem to indicate
that here was an opening for some en-
ergetic as well as patriotic real estate
agent The man in question lives in
the vicinity of New Richland, Mimi, a
section which has been afflicted with
iquack, more or less-quite likely more
severely for the past fifteen or eight
cen years. He cleared one eighty of
the pest several years ago, and by
dint OF much vigilance has succeeded
lin keeping 1t clean. A year ago last
August he bought another eighty ad-

been given over to quack grass for the
proceeding ten years. He paid $1,000 for

late i'm the season before he could get
at ii, he plOWed forty acres of 1t early
dn October, raked 1t with a special
auack rake and burned the roots. Next
he went over the piece with quack
root digger, gathering and burning all
the roots which it was possible to
reach. The next spring he planted
corn ON about twelve acres, oats ON a
third and wheat on the remainder.
This fall he husked 800 bushels of fine
corn from this twelve acres. and we
know he did because we got the fig
ures straight and have sample OF the
corn before us. 1t Is better corn than
that raised on land which has been
free from quack for years. He will

with the grass next season, and he

There's many man in the north
part Of the corn belt who has kindly
feeling toward the variety Of corn
known as Bloody Butcher, which was
used considerably in some sections for
replanting fields where the larger va
riety of corn planted at the usual
time did not terminate. In one in
stance which came to our notice some
seed of this variety was planted on
June 8 and in just sixty-eight days
samples OF firm dented corn were
picked from the field. While we would
not urge the planting of it in ATTITUDES
where larger and more productive
variety would mature well between
spring and fall frosts, yet 1t answers
good purpose as an emergency va
riety where one needs corn for feed
ing purposes and does not want to
lose the use of the land.

not responded as she should from the

While some utterances of the pack
ers may have to be taken with grain
Of allowance, there Is no getting round
the force and sanity Of a declaration
made by one of them the other day to
the effect that feeders of cattle, sheep
and hogs lose hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars annually because they do
not take more pains to secure good
feeding animals and send them to
market In prime instead Of poor and
ragged condition. The force Of this
statement ought to be as plain as the
nose on fellows face, and yet any
big stock market in the country most
any day shows variation of from s.
to S. per hundredweight on stuff
where the difference in price is due to
quality and finish alone and not to
class or kind.

and the bearing it will have on the
