Mature Dodder Plant on Alfalfa Stem.

weeds are greatly injured, owing to
their different root systems. In sec
lions where the wild barleys are
troublesome ii is sometimes thought
necessary to burn the first crop Of
hay. Another method Is to cut the
first crop while the wild barley is still
immature and feed the mixture OF
alfalfa and grass hay. The objection
to this method is that 1t necessitates
the cutting OF the alfalfa when too
young. A heavy growth OF crab
grass Is sometimes burned in the early
spring.
Dodder is one of the worst weeds
so far as alfalfa is concerned. The
dodder seeds terminate In the ground
and the young plants soon attach
themselves to the alfalfa seedlings.
As soon as the threadlike stem is firm

land kept in cultivated crops for two

HEART RIGHT.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart

The reason is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an I'M
expected thing and can be corrected il
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
Il was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the

from heart trouble, Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made

ognition abroad.
The man is Charles Y. Knight,
of Chicago. In 1896, when auto
mobiles were soaring horses, he
built a radically different motor.
Engineers ridiculed him. Nobody
would listen to him.
Refusing to accept defeat,
Knight sailed for England.
In the famous Daimler factory
Knight showed his engine. Months
of gruelling tests convinced them
1t was what they wanted.
In 1908, after combining the
best points of their own engine,
Daimler announced the adoption

The engines were put into cars
and driven to the Brooklands
track for final test, and for four
days and nights they were driven.
