KILL THE INJURIOUS WEEDS

This is the time of the year when

weeds, sunflowers, giant marsh elders
and other members of the weed tribe.
If left for week or ten days too
long they will have ripened full crop
of seeds and scattered a large part
on the ground
Ditch banks are especially favorite
places for weeds, and If neglected now
they will soon have sown their seeds
in the most favorable places to have
them carried to every part of the
irrigated fields later on.
This is the critical time. therefore,

they have been scattered long before
and are often protected from the
flames by layer of soil.

the hermit of Bedminster, who, while
apparently in perfect health, had kept

once for 81 years. is dead. He passed
away maintaining the silence which
he had steadfastly preserved for more
than a quarter of century.
Just before he died he made an eff.
fort to speak to his devoted sister,
Mrs. Margaret Lane, who has cared
for him in his lonely habitation
throughout his eccentric career. but
1t was too late, Through long years
of silence. in which he never uttered

Hoffman was 81 years old Wheth.

view to ascertaining his mental condi-
ton. His eternal silence and the
blank smile baffled alienists and ply
sicians. At different times during his
life needles had been thrust into his
flesh by physicians without making
him vince or utter a sound.

fathers farm. At the age of thirty

He lost his farm and finally his pet
team of horses. This broke his heart.
He went to bed and turned his face
to the wall and for a long time re-
fused to either speak or partake OF
food. Food was left on table near
his bed and when he was nearly
starved he arose one night from his
bed and ate a meal and took a stroll
out of doors. He continued to arise
each night and eat a meal and then
take a short walk in his garden for a
number of years.
One winters night more than Is

POULTRY LIKE GREEN FEEDS
Regarded as Absolutely Necessary
Where Fowls Are Confined
in Summer.
By MILLER PuRy1s.N


1 regard green feeds as absolutely
necessary to the welfare of poultry,
old and young, both summer and win
ter. Where fowls are kept confined 1t
must be supplied TO them and where
they have full liberty it may be fed
to them with profit during the months
when vegetation is somewhat burned
by the heat.
A letter from friend exactly coin
cides with the experience. He writes
that last summer he had a batch of
rape which he cut and fed to his hogs
He says his hens ate this rape as
greedjly as they would IL they had not
been shut up where they could not be
out to find grass for themselves.
have noticed this more than once.
Throw out lot of fresh lettuce
leaves where the hens can get 1t and
they will eat 1t up clean. Cabbage
stumps thrown out to the hens will
be picked clean, even where the hens
run at large.
Those who must keep their hens
confined will find that small plat of
rape VIII furnish large quantity of
green feed during the summer.
1t will be large enough to begin
cutting in Ave or six weeks and as
soon as It is cut OF will throw up new
shoots, thus renewing itself constant
ly, so the same ground my be cut
over time after time.
Lettuce or dandelions make very
good green feed for laying hens or
growing chicks. There seems to be
some medicinal property about both
these vegetables which promotes good
health in the fowls.
Both are easily grown and furnish
good supply of feed IL the tops are
cut of instead of pulling the plants
out by the roots when gathering the
feed
Turnips and beet tops, mustard, pea
vines and all other tender green stun
will be relished. and save much feed
of a more costly kind.
