The care Of flock Of sheep is a job
a great deal less sweaty and laborious
than the swinging of scythe and hoe
in an unending effort to kill off the
weeds. In the presence Of such a
flock, the weeds rapidly disappear, and
the grasses take possession of the
ground. Some farmers are said to hes
itate about starting flock Of sheep,
because of the prospective reduction
of the duty on wool, and the decline in
price that would perhaps follow. But
this should cut no figure in. the case.
Mutton always commands a profitable
price; and the combined returns from
mutton and wool, added to the services
of the sheep in keeping down weeds
and enriching the land, will always
make the flock highly valuable con-
tributor to the prosperity of the farm.

AUTOMOBILES AXE BIG FACTORS
4 IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
H. GOOD ROADS.

n. The automobile is 8 big, factor in
the development of "good roads" senti-
ment. Many a farmer has for years
been satisfied to drive over poor roads
with his team, but, as soon as he
bought car he became an advocate of
good roads. This kind Of sentiment is
jspringing up throughout the country.
Much Of this sentiment has originated
with farmers not only, because of the
automobile but also because more
modern farming methods with the nee
esssary competition is forcing the is
sue. 5......s.
Only recently there was published
forty-two questions for readers to an
swer. One Of these questions was,

in 1912 or 1892" The large number
who have reported Eyes" to this quegr
tion is astonishing. OF 500 reports re-

they are considering the purchase of
a car. If this percentage holds good
for our total list of subscribers, it
means $4,000 of our readers are ex-
pecting to buy car this year or next.
Every one Of these families, will be
boosters for good roads,
The signs of a national awakening
to the necessity Of a thorough under
standing of road building are becom-
ing clearer every day. Scores of
good roads conventions are being held
by thousands Of individuals who come
to learn and to listen to discussions
on the Importance of good roads. No
civilized nation is in greater need of
good roads than the United States, and
LIT is particularly gratifying to know
that at no time in our history has that
need seemed so fully realized as at
present. Earnest efforts are being
made in all parts of the country to
solve this most urgent porblem.
n Every thinking farmer in America
recognizes that good roads; contribute
very largely to the development and
prosperity Of any country. He knows
that churches and schools cannot
thrive without good roads. He knows
that good road cannot remain good
road without good construction and
good drainage. ~ @ "a. s u. :s5...%

LATE CORN CULTIVATION.

The farmer who has been accustom.
ed to laying his corn by" on such a
date finds himself in a peculiar cir
cumstance this season. From present
indications late cultivation must be
the keynote OF this seasons corn crop.
The growth the plants have made, and
the moisture condition Of the soil will
surely necessitate later attention than
in previous seasons. 1. :, !.
Corn is a cultivated crop, and a pro-
fitable crop is not obtained unless the
cultivator is used until the corn is
too large to be cultivated with two
horse implement. Should dry weather
continue, large corn may be benefited
by the use a one-norse cultivator or
q light "a harrow, used between the
rows. At all events every late cult

Of late cultivation should be to con-

Late rains may come, but for the
present let us remember that mois-
ture already in the soil is just as good,
or even better, than that which may

which case a few extra surface cult
vations may mean the making Of the

the Improvement in feeding value will
quite make up for this small loss.
. The weather is always q prime factor
in hay-making. The advantage Of
bright, sunny days for whiting the hay
should be secured If possible. It is q
mistake, however, to leave the hay,
either timothy or clover, exposed to
the rays Of the sun very long. AS
soon as withered, It should be turned
over and put up in medium.sized cocks
to cure. When well cooked and settl.
ed, It may stand for several days, even
through moderate rains, without seri.

barn, the hay cocks should be opened

HOT, DRY DAYS OF SUMMER Is
THE BEST TIME IN WHICH 4 Il
\ TO KILL WEEDS. s;5, @ a.s

The hot, dry days of the summer
are best for killing weeds, especially
those which have persistent under.
ground root-stalks and are perennial
by nature. AS soon as the early crops
Of hay, barley and rye are removed,
operations should be started which
will lead to the eradication of such
weeds as wild oats, mustard, quack-.
grass and thistles. After cutting the
grain crops, it is a good plan to disk
the land 50 as to cover the seeds that
have shattered out. This is especially
useful treatment for land infested with
wild oats. The disking is for the pur-
pose of Fastening termination. Two
or three weeks after disking, the land
may be plowed at the ordinary depth
and narrowed and disked frequently.
Hay land can be plowed soon after
the crop is removed, and IL Canada
thistles or quack-grass are present
their growth will be seriously Interrupt
ted. Following the blowing OF the stub
BILE or hay land, it becomes essential
to double-disk the land once or twice
per week, depending on the growth
made by weeds, SO as to prevent them
from establishing new root systems.
The disking should be kept up until
about the list of September. It is
difficult to give time for such opera
tions during the busy haying and har-
vesting season, but any one who has
patch of thistles or quack-grass that
he wishes to eradicate can make much
more progress during the hot weather
of July and August than at any other
season of the year. The effort should
;, be made to find time If possible. The
frequent disking and cultivation, to
!September, LIST, will keep the quack-
grass or thistles in subsection. By
i September 10th to 18th, the field may
be sown to rye. The rye grows quickly
and strong, and will take possession
! of the land. crowding back and chok-
ing the weeds during the fall season.
The rye starts early in the spring also,
before most weeds, and keeps them in
check during the early part Of the next
year. Such treatment, persistently fol
lowed, will lead to comparatively clean

out of the city.
She was taken before States At

of weeping that is seldom equalled.
and on greeting to leave the city and
remain away she was permitted to
restore the stolen property and go
without punishment.
The police department had received

she was one who needed watching
and for a day or two officers had
trailed her about and were in time
to take her for the theft, but the
story she told the states attorney
and the police and the manner in
which she told it. together with a
copious shower of tears, secured her
release.
She appeared in tn. city again day

locks are on the doors. Doubtless it
will be some time before they are
