There is one sure way of preventing
large weeds from growing in the gar
den-kill all the small ones.
White onions are very much better
keepers than the yellow variety, al
though the latter grow larger
The best garden-seed are not al
ways found in the packages on which
are found the prettiest pictures.
Keep the cultivator and the hoe 60
ing in the sweet corn patch. Not a
weed should be allowed to grow in it.
While 1t costs from So to $11 to
grow an acre of corn, It costs less
than four dollars to grow and save an
acre of hay.
1t Is best to sow grass seed with a
drill on light sandy or sandy loan
soils, as it is less likely to dry out in
dry seasons.
Arsenate of lead will not destroy the
black squash-bug and other sucking
insects. They must be picked off by
hand and squashed.
The extensive root systems of grass
crops, especially clovers, open up the
subsoil, increase the supply of humus
and are of great value to the soil
Coal-ashes contain no fertilizing
value and our experience is that they
only serve to pack the soil instead of
making it friable Wood ashes are diff
ferent.
The average wheat yield of Amer
lea is only about IA bushel to the acre
while in England the land that has
been farmed for hundreds of years
averages about 80 bushels.
In the mild climates, lettuce may be
set out in the fall In beds protected
by glass or cloth and this delicious
vegetable may be had through most
of the winter months.
If other remedies fail, spray the Gu
cumber-vines with arsenate of lead.
1t destroys the yellow-striped beetle,
which Is the most dangerous enemy Of
the cucumber, and requires the most
vigilant watching.

HEARS NEW YORK POLITICS
Talks With Judge Kinkade of Toledo
and Tells Reporters He Is
Progressive.

New York; never recommend
ed any man for Office and | do not
intend to do so this year. I hope,
however, there will be progressive
platforms adopted by the various
fall"
Col. Roosevelt in the above state
ment made on Tuesday in his offices
in the Outlook, outlined his present
position in the political world. Roose-
welt had just had a conversation with

of President Taft on Sunday and it
was reported at that time that he had
been o. KID by the president and
would come to New York to get the
Roosevelt endorsement
When asked about the visit, Col.
Roosevelt said he only saw Judge
Kinkade for few moments and that
there was nothing said about poll
tics.
New York state politics entered
prominently into the Roosevelt con-
ference on Tuesday Congressman
w. w. Cocks was closeted with him
for some time When he left he said:
I'VE discussed the craftsmanship of
the republican state committee and
also the chances for the substitution
of certain new committeeman in
number of districts. We also debated
political conditions in the state gem
orally, but there was no definite con-
clusion reached
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff is
to be deposed at the next meeting of
the committee if he does not resign
before, it is said.
Another who discussed New York
politics with Roosevelt was Congress
man Foelker of Brooklyn who said
that he called to tell the colonel that
he will not be candidate for re-elec-
ton.

Care of cucumbers.

Cucumbers for picking may be
planted as late as the middle of July.
Bordeaux mixture three ounces to a
gallon OF water is an effective remedy
for the yellow-striped beetle which
attacks cucumbers, melons and squash
es in the early summer, and is also the
preventive for blight.
If you have only "a few vines the
bugs may be brushed into shallow
pan and at once transferred to pail
OF water containing a tablespoonful
of kerosene, which finishes them. This
can only be done very early in the
morning or after shutdown. They are
very active during sunshine. but semi
dormant in the early hours Of the day.

Crop Conditions Improved.

Washington. - Fairly good crop
growing weather has prevailed
throughout the country during the
last week. according to the national
weather bulletin of the department
of agriculture. 1t says.
Summarizing the weather of the
week for the several important agri-
cultural districts, it appears that in
the great corn and winter wheat
growing states warm weather pre-
vailed, and conditions were generally
favorable in Kansas, Iowa and Ne
braska. In the Ohio valley there
was generally 100 much rain.
I'm the spring wheat growing
states the abaormally high tempera-
lures and hot winds that prevailed
during most of the week were try
ing to growing vegetation of all
kinds. Severe drought still continues
over much of the district Over the
Atlantic coast states from North Car
DINA to New England, favorable
weather continued and prospects are
good all over the country.

Before Congressman Weisse left for
home 1t was well understood that he
would be candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for congress In the
Sixth district and all his opponents
laid their plans accordingly. Poll
ticians who are well posted In the dis
trict say that the most formidable can
didate of those opposed to Mr.. Weisse

EARLY Potato RIlnht.

Early potato blight is liable to at
tack the potato crop at any time from
June until the crop is ripe, but is most
seriously destructive In July and Aug
ust 1t attacks the foliage. Professor
Kohler of the Minnesota experiment
station doubts II it will be profitable
to spray early paintings of early vari-
cites. II, however, others desire to dc
so he advises spraying when plants are
small, and a continuance of the treat
ment every ten days until at least ten
per cent of the leaf surface is dying
when 1t will be useless TO spray longer
In rainy weather spraying should be
more frequent.

Value of DRAINAGE.

Drainage prevents loss of crops and
labor from stagnant water; permits air
to circulate more freely through the
soil, carrying with 1t fertiIizing prop
critics, making a warmer soil that can
be cultivated early, for dry soil works
easier than wet, roots go down deeper
in it and get greater supply of plant
food and more moisture IN a dry sea
son. Drainage also prevents baking and
cracking.

New York.-The strike on the
Grand Trunk railroad has thrown TO-
900 men out of employment. This is
the latest estimate. The strike or
der was. obeyed by 5000 conductors

locked out 10000 men in the shops
in the hope that they would accept
the positions deserted by the conduc-
tors and trainmen. The coup has not
been successful The commissioner
of labor of Canada offered TO arbi-
trate the grievances of the strikers,
but the officials of the union declined
the offer.

crowino Cultivated Crops.

Cultivated crops include corn, pota-
toes, mangles and all root crops that
are planted In rows and cultivated
during growth. Such crops have been
regarded as beneficial to soil fertility,
but investigation at the experiment
stations shows that continuous growth
of cultivated crops depletes the soil
more rapidly than does the growing of
grain continuously.

To Get Hid of Ants.

To rid your garden of ants effectu-
ally, you must first find the location of
the nests. They can then be easily
destroyed by benzoin, gasoline, bisul-
phide of carbon or boiling water.
The large ants which sometimes
make their nests above the surface Of
the grass on the lawn should be de-
stroyed by bisulphide of carbon. Punch
a number of holes in the nests and
pour a teaspoonful of carbon down
each hole. Throw dark blanket over
the holes for few moments, then re-
move 1t and explode the carbon by
means of light at the end of pole.
The slight explosions drive the fumes
down through the underground tun-
uels and destroy the ants.

warden followed the Gust, of rent
ing a launch the fishermen would be
warned in each instance and. as 3
