WHY WEEDS SPREAD.

There are four reasons for the
spread Of weeds, and the first is :
carelessness In allowing them TO
get a foothold when they first ap- :
pear. Second.-The ignorance OF
their habits and manners OF .
growth makes II difficult TO ex-
terminate them when the field
has become thoroughly infested.
Third-Tbe sowing OF impure
seed, particularly OF clover, al
falfa and grass seeds. and the
importation of many in the grain
crop seed we secure from eleva-
tors and seed houses. Fourth
Failure to keep fences and road
sides free from weeds.
Weeds take up In large quaint
ties the plant food that would
otherwise be available TO the
crop of grain. but fully as impor-
tant as this is the tremendous
amount of soil moisture they use.

am not overparticular upon the
subject of epitaphs. and my own,
when one shall be necessary, is
matter of small Importance to me.
Yet I remember that in ancient times
one wandering amid wastes came to
a tomb upon which was written, And
L shall leave behind shall wish to
please me a little let them chisel
something after this fashion:
He too walked amid dreams, and,
dreaming, wrought the dream into
something that he hoped would live
1T is not all of life to i've there
are dreams to dream, but before us
is always the task of transmitting to
future generations whatever good ex-
lists within US. He who does not
dream lacks the vision to attain the
highest good; he who does not trans
nit that good has lived in vain
And that which lives is not neces-
sarily religion, science or a work
of art. The cosmic waves of a good
deed shining in naughty world are
eternal and break not up on the
shores of time. There is a pretty lie
concerning the good that men do,
which is falsely said to be inferred
with their bones. Only the identity
of the author is lost he that paints
book or builds a better railway or digs
a better drain than his neighbor con-
tributes to the upIift of the world and
that uplift is never lost.
The identity of the engineers who
planned the first pyramid is lost in
the thousands of years that have
sifted as the sands of the Nile, but his
work endures for the quickening of
our own times. The hanging gardens
of Babylon are but tradition and dust
but the impulses of their beauty thrill
us still.
Back in the days when men for
sock their caves to set up tents of
skins and digged bitches to drain
their earthen floors the seeds of en-
cheering were sown. Without that
first crude wigwam and that first
misshapen ditch the skyscraper and
the Panama canal were impossibili-
ties.
And whatsoever you do today that
is better than others have done;
whatsoever you do that others have
not done, be it simple as simplicity
itself-that is eternal.-( Copyright,

children; it is pre-eminently by ma
ture the best place 10 produce the best
kind of character in the child. Here
youth deals with the things of nature
in their simplicity and directness, and
is nor deceived nor schooled in de-
ceiving. The daily burden of work on
the farm and in the farm home re-
quires the most thorough cooperative
spirit among all the members of the
family, so that children early gain
habits of devotion to duty and to the
philosophy "a duty we'll done is its
own reward" The child is unham-
pered by constraint from artificial
standards and conventionalities which
city life for the adult seems to require
or at least to encourage. He is there
fore free to develop healthily and
naturally along the true lines of his
own native powers for self expression.
And the farm is by nature no less a
good place to continue character de-
velopment throughout life. The serv-
ice to the family and the managing of
an independent farm business or of
farm household mainly with ones own
labor requires an all-round, resource
full, and far seeing intelligence and ex-
perience such. as no single city busi-
ness can possibly give; while the en-
larged services and relationships to the
community also furnish things to do
that are worth while, the doing of
which results in strong character.

To be sure Mr.. Stevenson is rather in

will forgive him. And as for those old

does it matter what they think, anyway?
