FARr1NOTES

Baling is the proper treatment for
cowpea hay.
The hoe is the certain remedy for
the cocklebur pest.
Every farmer should give some at
tention to hairy vetch.
It takes two years to thoroughly de-
troy all the cockleburs in n field.
The ground for sweet clover seed
should be prepared the same as for
alfalfa or clover.
The surest way Of getting rid OF
moles is to set one of the steel spring
traps over their runs.
Neither corn nor mfllets are espe-
| cfally sensitive to acid. They will
often do we'll on soils which are sour.
Grasses, as a rule. require less lime
than clovers, but timothy will not do
we'll in soils markedly deficient in
lime.
Among plants requiring large
amounts OF lime in the soil r al
falfa, clovers, pease. beans and
vetches.
Lime should not be applied imme-
diately preceding q CROP Of potatoes.
They are more likely to be affected
with scab should such application be
made.
All implements that are not needed
further this summer should be taken
to the Toulouse and protected from
the sun. A dollar saved Is equal to .

inexpensive Hay Rack.

On the wagon, remove the bolster from
the wagon and let the one made on
the frame take its place.
The side rails are made Of 2hx6-
inch stuff. The c~ross-pieces are 2x6
inches and 6 feet 6 inches long. The
two boards that form the bows that
protect the wheels are made of ks
inch elm, or some wood that is tough
and will not break In bending.
The frame is put together with
%-inch bolts, assorted lengths to suit
the different thicknesses Of material.
The knees that support the front
cross-piece are 1 foot tall, without the
tenons; these are 6 inches on the
lower end and 3 on the upper. If we'll
put together out of good materials,
and painted, and well taken care of,
this frame will last for 80 years.

of serious consequence. Is 1t the wind
or our common honey bee that does
the work?
From observations made the past
few years it is evident that bees play a
most important part in the fertiliza-
ton of the blossoms. To arrive at
some definite conclusions as to how
much pollen is transmitted through
the air by the wind, experiments have
been carried on in several states to
determine this question. These ex-
periments demonstrated beyond doubt
hat plum pollen as well as pollen OF
several species of apples experimental
upon is not transmitted through the
air in sufficient quantities to in
sure cross-pollination. Hence, the wind
cannot be relied upon as an agency to
transfer pollen from tree to tree
throughout the orchard.
That the honey-bee is not attracted
TO the blossom by the inforescence
has also been shown. 1t is apparent
that the snowy petals OF the blossoms
aid materially in attracting the bees.
The blossom is well supplied with
nectar, and the open character of the
nectary makes it accessible to almost
Ill insects. The bees, in trying to
reach the nectar, brush against the
lnthers and carry away with them on
their hairy legs and abdomen large
quantities of pollen. The insects in
visiting other blossoms transfer some
Of the foreign pollen to these pistils.
Since the wind aids so little in cross
pollination, it is evident that the vari-
BUS insects, especially the bees. are
carriers Of pollen.
AS the assurance of a crop depends
upon insects as distributors Of the
pollen, 1t is necessary that apiaries be
established in the different fruit sec
tons. With favorable climatic condi-
tons and proper planting Of varieties
the bees would insure pollination.

Moisture for Next Year.

Now is the time to think Of conserv-
ing moisture for the crop next year.
If the stubble fields are disked as
soon as the grain is cut and capillarity
is broken, it will be much more diff
cult for the tons of water stored in the
ground by summer rains to evaporate.
1t will also be found that blowing a
be done more easily. and at less ex.
pense to horse flesh.

Rape for Fall Feed.

Rape sown at the rate Of two pounds
to the acre in the corn field when the
last blowing has been done, or even
later, will often furnish a wealth Of
fall feed for sheep, swine and cattle
other than mich cows. Such a plan
- especially good If "hogging on"
corn is considered. Lambs will eat
the rape and not waste any of the
corn, and will produce meat at a min
hum Of expense. 1t will be advisable

CBy c. I. LEWIS and c. c. VINCENT.)
1t has been a question in the minds
of many experimenters for some time
just how much the wind aids in carry
ing pollen from tree to tree. If the
wind does aid in distributing pollen,
is it distributed in sufficient quantities
to. insure. the fertilization Of the
ovules?
Since SO many of our varieties or
apples are known to be self-sterile, and
must depend upon foreign pollen for
fertilizing the ovules, this question is

PRESERVING Value of Manure.

When manure is left in piles in the
field the organic matter with its nitro
gen will be converted into gas and will
escape. In addition to all this, the fer
tilizing constituents are washed into
the soil with every rain. By spreading
it Immediately all this loss is pre-
vented.

Cut Out the Needs.

The weeds that are growing along
the fence rows and out-of-way places
will soon go to seed. If it is desired
to make the place look tidy and neat,
and keep the weeds from obtaining a
more determined hold, they should be
cut at the earliest opportunity. A
mower will undoubtedly cut nearly all
of them. A scythe will be found nee
essary only to cut the weeds under the
fences and in the corners

ing become general throughout

ference of opinion has been as to
the advisability of methods
whereby the evil could be reach
ed. During the time the advoca-
tes Of the organizations every
where have been active in pre-
pairing an Indictment against the
express companies, the companies
themselves have apparently been
only slightly interested. The
cool, calculated and continued ar
rogance of the heads Of the ex-
press companies has no parallel
in the business affairs of the

in twenty-five years they have at
last been brought to their knees,

ingly., But in the troubled hours

Express Companies ''Get-

For more than a quarter cen
tury influences have been at work
to secure a reform in the manner
of transportation of small pack
ages in the United States. The
parcel post has been one OF the
remedies most popularity support
ed. While many men have been
working with the purpose OF hav-
ing the postoffice system care for
the handling Of small packages,
another class of interests have
been fighting for cheaper express
rates under the present plan OF
conducting the transportation
by these same express companies.
There has, in short, been a gen
eral recognition Of the fact that
something is wrong in the ex-
press companies methods OF

Undoubtedly the greatest fact

Undoubtedly the greatest fact
or for reform in the postal and
express carriage business in this
country, is James L. Cowles, the
white haired veteran who for
thirty years has kept the issues
between the people and the ex-
press companies alive He is
opposed to carrying on the busl-
ness under the zone system as
provided in the recent legislation.
Mr.. Gowles now comes forward
with specific statements IN re-
ference to the express companies.
In his speech before the Inter
state Commerce Commission this
week, he argued for a flat rate
regardless of the distance haul
ed, the same as exists in the
postal system. He said the Ame-
rican Express company at pre-
sent carries parcels from Europe
up to eleven pounds weight at a
rate of tWenty-seven cents to
any part of the United States.
! He hlieved that such service could
be given to the people of this
country at a profit to the carriers,
provided their business was man
aged efficiently. Zone trouble is
there is no efficiency in the car
service, " he insisted. ''The Rail
way Age has ointed out that
the average return from 9
car is about 81. so a day and that
it's average daily mileage is onlN
sixteen miles. Why the modern
freight cars do not earn as much
as the old-fashioned stage coach
earned half a century ago.

The Western Federation of Miners, assembled in convention, have unanimously voted to reject the red flag as a decoration, owing tn its association With anarchy as to the American flag and constitutional form of govern mcnt.
 The question was debated at length. It is believed that other conservative trade organizations will follow the example, as it is known that the rank and file of the better organized unions are antagonistic 10 the propa- ganda advocated by the red flag followers. The officials of the Western Federation contended that, owing 10 the misconception of the general public as to their patriotism for the American flag, il was time that the lines be strictly drawn.

GREAT BALL WAS
 PLAYEDYESTERDAY
Tho Fats Take tho Champ IonshIp From tho Leans After HotIy
 Contested Game

The Ffls and Leans went a. it. hanrn'. and tOngs yesterday on the base ball grounds and it was some swat fest with the Fats a lit. tlc the hardest seekers. The rain did not stop the players and inc players did not stop the ball and the runs piled up until the score was t6 ip i5 in favor of the heavy weights.
 The first three innings the Fats did not get run and it looked like a walk away for the skin- neys. but the way the big lads landed on Kelsey after the third was a sight; in the fourth they got five and in the fifth and sixth innings three each and in the eighth five more, which was one more than enough to elect.
 Don't think the narrow boys were not pounding the little TOUT .d thing. In the first they got lead of two and in the third Thcy doubled it, in the fifth and sixth they added one run an inning and in the seventh things got inter- eStinG and three was the sum of their work; one only in the eighth, bu: in the ninth nothing but the read work of Pitcher BunnpIl sav- ed the heavy weights and the Leans could not be retired until they had harvested five runs and needed only one to have tied the score.
 Mrs. krlscy's boy is some run n"r and pitched good gam., striking out five men, but at times I"ccNrd poor support. BunneIl did some more tumbling, but Landed right side up and got the ball to first before the base run ner every time. He struck out nine of the narrow fellows, land- ing Mossie twice.

HE ADMITS BUT
 DENIES GUILT
Accused Judge of Commerce Court Practically Admits All Charges
 Made Against Him

Washington, July 29-Admilting practically all the acts charged against him in the impeachment proceedings, but denying emphat- ically that he used corruptly his Judicial influence, Judge Archi- bald filed his formal answer to the complaint in the proceedings of Impeachment in the Senate.
 The defendant judge admits that he was involved in numerous coal deals and admits that he so- 1lcited high railway officials to further such deals but he ayers that in all his acts he is entirely innocent of wrong doing and did not at any time use his judicial lnduence to further his private business undertakings.
 Under his answer many able lawyers feel that Judgc Archibald will necessarily have to be con- victcd, as his answer is tanta- mount to confession of guilt. Taking the view of the accused judge, it will be but necessary for the Senate to produce the testi- mony introduced before the House committee to connect the admitted acts with the judges guilty in tent.
