WILD CARROT.


tivation will keep it out of cropped
fields, especially where there is ro-
tation including one or more culdTat-
ed crops. In permanent pastures,
along roads and in other places not
cultivated it should be cut down with
the scythe. This must be done repeat
edly to keep the new flower stems that
spring up from carrying their seeds to
maturity, but persistent cutting will
kill the weed out, generally in two
years. If the weeds are not too nu-
merous they can be killed off individ-
ually once and for all by cutting the
root underground with a spud. sharp
spade OF other handy implement.
Recent tests have indicated that the
wild carrot is vulnerable to several
weed killing sprays. One solution that
is recommended is sodium arsenlte,
one pound to twenty-six gallons of wa
ter sprayed on when the plants are
dry.

Siiaue For Sheep,

A series Of exhaustive tests at the
Indiana experiment station has dem
onstrated beyond doubt that good ST.
lage used judiciously is an extremely
desirable feed for sheep in winter. 1t

gestive system and upon the general
health and thrift Of the lambs. Ewes
fed during the winter on ration In
Guiding u liberal amount of silage
gained an average each winter OF
twenty pounds. while those similarly
fed without the silHce gained only tlf-
teen and a half pounds. Those receiv-
ing the silage also consumed more
than I per cent less grain and over
go per cent less clover hay than those
maintained exclusively upon dry feed.
it also had n valuable effect upon the
fleece, those receiving Silage having a
slightly heavier coat of wool.

Theodore Roosevelt will have signed
article entitled "Murder Is Murder"
10 the Outlook this week dealing with
the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times and the arrests recently made

says:

guilty of murderous attack of this
nature. l have no idea whether the
men arrested on Mr.. Burns statement
are or are not guilty;Ithe labor lead
ers in question have no idea whether
or not they are.
"They are entitled to an absolutely
fair trial. If they.have no money to
provide counsel for themselves, then
it would be entirely proper for any
body of men to furnish them the re.
quisite funds, simply as an incident
in securing them a fair trial. But it
is grossly improper to try to create
public opinion in favor of the &C.
cused men simply because the crime
of which they are accused is commit
ted against capitalist or corpora
ton and because the men who are
charged with committing it are mem.
bers of q labor union.
"This is an iniquity as gross az II
would have been If when three years
ago, the sugarstrust was indicted for
swindling operations in the New York
custom house, the.forces of organized
capital had been behind the indicted
men on the ground that the attack on
capitalists guilty of crime meant an
attack on all,capital."

Official denials were issued from
several sources and care was taken to
express anew the administ atoms po-

mote possibility.
One of President Taft's callers to.
day went so far as to quote him as
saying that "blood would have to be
so deep in Mexico that a man could
wade through it" before the American
army would cross the border.
This was reported to have been the
presidents position throughout the
Mexican troubles and again was gen.
orally accepted as such. Members OF
congress were inclined to the belief
at the reported utterances of Gen.
eral Wood were to be taken as that

General Wood himself and Secre
tary OF War Dickinson have been
particularly bitter In denouncing the
circulation of stories of intervention T
at this time, saying they considered
them calculated to work infinite mis-
chief and endanger the lives of Am.
ericans in Mexico by inflaming the
natives and even to plunge the two
countries into war.
