FIGHTING oUAcK GRASS.

There may be some readers who
have a quack grass problem on their
hands this season. If 50 they will
be interested In the following direc-
tions for getting rid Of 1t: Let the
grass grow until blossom time. then
cut close and make for hay before any
seed develops. Pillow to a good depth.

disk repeatedly until a good seed bed
is formed. raking up carefully and
burning all roots left on the surface
Then seed heavily to rye or millet
When the cover crop is coming into
bloom turn the whole cover crop un-
der in the shape Of green manure
Best results will be had with this plan
II there is rain during the summer
months. so that the cover crop will
tiake a rank growth. II the fall is
wet and there is some of the quack
grass that shows a tendency to grow
the field should be given repeated
slskings to prevent the shoots or roots
seeing daylight or air or having any
peace" Another blowing Just before
freezeup, which will expose the roots
to the action of the frost. will usually
give the finishing touches.

BENEFITS OF TILE DRAINAGE,

G. G. Elliott, drainage expert of the
department Of agriculture. has sum-
married. the benefits derived from tile
drainage In the following paragraph
The reasons in favor Of thing given
are so pertinent and plain that they
might well be committed to mem.
DRY by every farmer who has wet
acres that are fetching him In little or
no revenue: IL In the land that is
properly tiled the surface soil is re-
tanned entire instead of the finest and
most fertile parts being carried off
with every considerable rainfall. e.,
Any plant food in manure or other
fertilizer deposited upon the soil Is
carried into 1t with the water as It
percolates downward from the sur
face. and so becomes thoroughly in
corporated with the soil. (3) Rain
water as II passes through the soil
serves most useful purpose by dis
solving and preparing crude soil mate
rial for the nutrition of plants. 10
The soil having been well prepared. 1t
Is at all times during the growing sea-
son In readiness for the growth Of
plants. such growth not being hinder
ed by stagnant water or saturation
~ The frost goes out earlier in the
spring. so that the planting season opens
one or two weeks earlier than in the
case of soil affected by surface drains
only. &c, Where stiff clays are found
the soil Is made more porous. open and
friable and roots penetrate more deep
ly than they do into surface drained
soils. ca The effects of drought are
diminished, as has been found by ex-
perience, owing to the enlarged and
deepened soil bed and to the more IA
vorable condition Of the surface for
preventing excessive evaporation OF
moisture 49, 1t aids In making new
soil out of the unprepared elements,
since 1t permits a freer entrance Of air
and atmospheric heat. which disinte-

and mechanical structure that they be-

AN HERB INoiIiRx

A rslder of these notes living near
Valley Falls. Kan. widow who has
her own and her little daughters sup
port on hand, writes stating That she
has no property, but believes she could
make something by gathering herbs
for medicinal purposes. She inquiries
especially about the burdock and bore
hound. both of which grow plentifully
In the locality in which she lives. The
writer has never had any experience
In the gathering and drying of herbs,
but is glad to give the following data.
taken from farmers bulletin No. 1873.
entitled Weeds Used In Medicine"
which our correspondent can get by
sending cents in coin to the office
of public documents at Washington.
This describes some thirty kinds of
common medicinal weeds and would be
OF value to any one desiring to gather
them for market. AS to burdock, the
roots should be collected In the fall of
Ne year from the larger plants that
are in their second year. The roots
should be washed carefully after dig
ging. split lengthwise and carefully
dried. This is best done by exposing
them to the light and air mot direct
sunlightl on racks or shelves or on
clean. well ventilated barn floors or
lofts They should be spread out thin
ly and turned every day or two for
from three to six weeks. IL properly
cured the roots should snap when bent.
In securing the roots Of any herb 1t
Is well to take special care in drying,
as they will mildew and spoil If not
properly cured. The roots shrink In
weight about four-fifths and will fetch.
cured. from 3 to cents pound The
burdock seed. for which there Is a lin
tied demand, should be secured as soon
as 1t Is ripe and brings from 5 to 10
cents per pound. The horehound is a
bushy. branching herb belonging to
the mint family, and only the leaves
and tops are used in medicine. These
should be gathered just before the
herb Is in flower, the coarse parts be-
ing rejected. The leaves should be
dried in the manner suggested for the
burdock roots. care being taken to turn
them when drying and to store so that
they will not gather moisture. The
price paid for horehound leaves varies
from to 8 cents per pound

clear that the Illinois farmers propose

PEACE PROSPECTS
 ARE VERY BRIGHT.
DIaz and MadeTO Agree on Three
 Rebel Cabinet Members,

Francisco I. Madero, provisional president of Mexico, and Francisco Carbajal, federal peace commissioners, both declare that the prospects are bright for peace.
 Madero has agreed to recede from his demand for four cabinet members and accept three-the portfolios of war, justice and gobernacion, the lat ter meaning the control of the govern ment of the states.
 Diaz only wished to concede the in- surrectos one of the cabinet offices and at first held out for four. He was willing to permit them to have the portfolio of gobernacion, which Is now vacant, the incumbent of which will have more to do with restoring peace throughout the country than any oth- CT man. Without the ministry of war and the portfolio of justice, however, the insurrectos say they will be handl- capped. The insurrectos wish to com pletely overhaul the courts.
 It is declared that the peace pact, while virtually agreed to. will not be signed until Dlaz and Madero have agreed upon the cabinet appointees and the governors of the different states, so that there can be no chance of another break after the insurrecto army has been disbanded. The army is to be held together, and a truce is to be first declared, to be made nation wide if this is possible, so that there will be no further fighting while the fVyn nrndfHnnf1 Thn. insurrectos are to be given the free use of the telegraph wires, 1t is stated, so that Madero can communicate with his men in all parts of the republic before naming those he wishes for the different positions under the govern ment.

SENATE SOLVES PROBLEM.
Frye Still President Pro Tenn. of the

Frye Still JFresloent Fro lem. or the
 @ Upper House. For the present at least there will be no vital controversy over the election of president pro tempore of the sen ate, t .-+
 Senators have discovered that they have a president pro tempore in the person of Senator William F. Frye of Maine, who resigned the office re- gently.
 In boring over the rules of the sen ate one of the elder statesmen found an answer to the puzzle.
 The elder statesman ran across a rule that was adopted by the senate in 1890. It reads as follows:
 "It is competent for the senate to elect a president pro tempore, who shall hold the office during the pleas ure, of the senate until another is elected and shall execute the duties thereof during all future absents of the vice president until the senate oth- erwise orders"
