Last week Deputy Sheriff Cole

a stranger, who claimed that the or
iginal Mrs. Belle Guinness, of murder
fame, was located in that city. On
arrival at Palouse the deputy sheriff
was directed to the home of a widow

any thought on the part of the deputy
that she was Mrs. Guinness.
The woman was taken to the JUS

The Small Leaved Milkweed,

In many of the wheat fields of
northern Idaho and eastern Wash
hgton, Small Leafed Milkweed is
serious pest that is very difficult
TO eradicate. 1t is a branched. peren-
NAL plant whose stems contain an
acrld milky juice. In the grain fields
II grows from 10 TO l6 inches
nigh and materially reduces the
yield OF all the cereal crops. The
| leaves are dark green above, pale
| green beneath, ana from u to -
inches long The flowers are rather
small rose coIored, and bell SHAPED.
The plant spreads by means of both
seed and underground stems or root
stocks. The rootstocks run horriyon-
tally in the soil, usually below the
ordinary depth of blowing. When the
| plant once gains foothold the
area infested gradually increases in
| size by means of the lateral growth
Of the rootstocks, from the ioints
or buds of which erect stems rise
above the surface of the ground IN
blowing ana cuItiyatina the stans
| and rOotstoCks are often broken and
carried to minfested parts Of the
field If properly covered with soil
these broken pieces of stems and
| rootstock may grow into new nIants
There are several pIants whose
| stems contain milky iuica which ara
called milkweed. For this reason we

Mr.. FIuharty's second experience
was with a 40-acre field. This field
was also sown to timothy and past
ured closely with sheep during the
seasons Of 1908 and 1909. The field
was ploWed during the spring of
1910 and planted to corn. The writ
er was over this field carefully the
last of May and found but two
plants that had survived the two
years of close cropping of the sheep,
We know of other farmers who
have eradicated this weed by pastur-
ing with sheep but this is the only
instance that has come under the
personal observation of the writer.
1t is reasonably certain that many
other perennial weeds such as the
Morning-Glory Blue-flowered Let
tucc, and Canada Thistle, whose ha-
bits are similar to those of the Small
Leafed Milkweed, can be eradicated
by this method. 1t must be remem-
bered, however that the secret of sue
cess lies in keeping the plants close
ly pastured.

CHAPTER VII.
Continued from last week

smith sent their teams, and the
work went merrily on at the Shane
tarm' and it looked like the corn
would be planted in pretty good
ume yet. Shane's horses were not
improving in appearance any, and he
mad spent the price of a horse in
fees to Hodges to treat them. He
hoped to get them cured by the time
the corn was ready for the cul;iva-
tor but the first thing was to get
the corn planted.
The work went steadily on, and
by the middle of the next week the
last hill was in the ground, and
Shane was astonished at the amount
OF work that could be done by two
teams, when they were worked ac-
cording to Tracy's and Smiths plans,
for he had kept his promise to
Tracy to treat the team we'll He had
giN them proper rest during tho
day, proper care at night, and had
worked them reasonable number of
hours. He rem arked that Smith an
Tracy had two mighty good teams
They just go right along an do what
they are told to do without any fuss
or trouble Yet he could not un-
derStand that it was the kind treat
ment that these horses received that
made them work so cheerfully.
There's an awful sight O. grub
worms in this soil" said John Smith,
as he and Shane were breaking up
the ground for corn. IF them black
birds that's a hangin' around in the
woods would come down an pick
EN- up it would be many dollar
in your pocket
Il ant got any use for blackbirds, !"
said Shane. The pesky things will
be around when the corn's planted
to pull it up. I'd rather take my
chances agin' the worms than the
birds, If had gun, I'd start them
black rascals out of there"
