ing up rapidly in Richmond, but
there is no telling what may happen
In a week or two.
Governor Woodrow Wilson, Of New
Jersey, and Governor Judson Harmon.
OF Ohio. both have their staunch
friends and supporters and. while the
State At large is generally believed
to be strongly for Wilson, there is. a
strong undercIs,ent in Richmond for
the Ohio champion.
One of the most interesting political
communications of the campaign has
been received the past day or two
/ by prominent Democrats from the
Harmon presidential headquarters.

Place fer the Separator.

Just where to place cream separa-
tor for convenient use is sometimes a
question. Convenience requires that
the place be in or near the barn,
though 1t is sometimes placed in the
kitchen or some portion of tho home
building. A room with cement floor
and plastered walls can be construct
ed in some part of the barn where it
will be convenient and more sanitary
than if placed in the kitchen or in
any open portion of the barn whore
it is likely to be affected by dust and
odors. This room should have water
system and proper drainage so that it
may be kept clean and swept all the
time The work necessary in prepar-
ing this room Is not expensive nor
does it require expert help, but such
room in some locality is absolutely
necessary for the production Of clean
milk products and in lessening the
work of the dairy Care in handling
the milk and plenty Of hot water In
cleaning the vessels will remove very
many Of the criticisms that are made
against the farm dairyman.

roots. 1t also sets the plant back, so
that it will not ripen as soon as it
otherwise would, and that is a very
important point in this state, where
the corn season is short enough at
best.
How to Cultivate Shallow. There
are now many makes of cultivator
shovels that can be run so As to cut
an inch or two below the surface,
lesssning up the TOP soil and cutting
I'll weeds. For tie first cultivation it
will be all right to use the diamond
shovel, but after that use the shovel
that cuts near the surface.
81 Called Stunning 81 Corn. This is
caused by deep cultivation. When
corn IL cultivated deep and is allowed
to 80 for three to four weeks without
cultivation and il then cultivated deep
so many roots are cut off that the
plant can not take up moisture fast
enough to supply its needs for growth
and transpiration With shallow cul.
tivation the corn can be gone over
late without the burning resulting as
the roots are not cut.
Where the Plant Feeds. The corn
plant feeds principally in the soil
turned with the pillow; therefore tho
plant roots should be allowed to come
as near tho surface as they will. II
the cultivating is done nearly as deep
as the blowing but little soil is lett
the plant to draw it's food from. In
the illustration the roots in front that
hang down were, when growing,
quite near the surface in the soil that
was washed away. So that nearly all
the roots we see were quite near the
surface.

CANADA THISTLE.
BY w. G. Palmer, Agricultural
. Editor.

!. + + !. l. ]. j. i. + !. + j. j. j. j. + j.
The Canadian thistle is one of the
weeds that has great adaptation for
growing under adverse conditions. 1t
can thrive in field of grain, of corn,
and even In q meadow. 1t is a sort of
trust or monopoly weed in that it be-
lieves: First, in combination; second,
carries on q good deal of its work out
of sight; third, in taking advantage of
every means for existence.
Its Manner Of Combination. Look at
the cut Gig. y and see how the
plants grow on a so called under.
ground stem, which is constantly
sending UP new plants 80 if those
plants above ground are killed new
ones are just ready to come up. When
the plants become any size they be-
gin sending down food to be stored
in the underground stem.
A Good Deal Of It's Work Out Of
Sight. This out of sight work is the
underground stem in which it stores
up food and from which it sends up
new plants, making a store house that
all the plants can draw on as they
need 1t and that they all contribute
to; and that make it possible for the
plant to send up new shoots.
Uses Every Means. 1t is not con.
tent with the underground stem but
also produces seed which enables it
to make big jumps, and to start new
centers.
Distribution. BY referring to the
map Gig. u 1t will be seen that the
Canadian thistle is most prevalent in
the northeastern counties of the state.
1t will not long be content to stay
there. 1t is constantly charging its
territory, 20 even II you are outside
the Infested area better be on the
lookout for 1t. ...-...... ~
Eradication. The eradication of this
ingenious and industrious weed can
b brought about only by taking it at
its weakSst point. When it is getting
ready to produce sea It draws the
most heavily on the food stored up in
its roots. This. then, is the weak
point. Now 1t when in bloom, then

Depth to Cul=

Editor.

The depth to cultivate corn can best
be determined by an examination of
the roots of a corn plant. The most
convincing way is to dig UP some corn
roots. The first time it is done one
will be surprised to find the roots 50
near the surface. Figure l shows the
roots OF cC"n Plant and the corn cul-
tivator shovel indicates what will hap
pen when it is run two or three inches
deep-a good many roots cut and
these roots near the surface are the
ones that do most to feed the plant
as the most available plant food is
near the surface.
Effect OF Cutting Roots. Cutting
the roots gives the plant setback
that 1t cali never recover from. 1t
Immediately sends out new roots, but
