DISK FOR CORNSTALK GROUND
Ordinarily Soil Becomes Much Com
pacted During Winter and Then
Crusted in Spring.

The practice Of disking cornstalk
ground before blowing it for another
crop of corn has a basis of sound
common sense. Ordinarily the stalk
ground becomes very much compact.
ed during the winter. and when il
dries out in the spring the surface Is
generally somewhat crusted, particu.
larly so if the soil contains much clay.
OF course, where sand predominates
in the soil there is not the same need
for putting extra labor on the surface
before blowing. but in the case OF
clays and clay loans the practice Of
giving the surface a good disking may
be depended upon. taking it one year
with another, to materially increase
the yield.
By turning under a mulch formed
by disking the furrow slice Is cor.
nected with the lower soil in such a
way Is to lead to rapid root develop
ment. and furthermore. the moisture
Is not checked In its upward move
ment by the lower surface of the in
verted furrow such as would be the
case where cofnstalk ground is plowed
without disbtng.

Injurious Canadian Thistle.

those unfamiliar with the two weeds.
The Prairie Bull thistle has white
woolley leaves and stems and much
larger flower heads than the Canadian
thistle.
If Canada thistle occur in small
patches only, keep them in check by
cutting with a spud hoe every time
they appear above the ground. When
the infested area Is large, allow the
plants to grow until the flower bud has
formed, then cut with mower as close
tt the ground as possible. By allowing
the plants to reach the flower bud
stage, the roots will be somewhat ex.
hausted of food material and will be
in a weakened condition. Plough
deeply. following with a thorough cul-
tivation with a spring tooth c%ultivator
bringing as many of the roots as pos
sible to the surface. Give the ground
a thorough surface cultivation until
quite late the following spring. Seed
heavily with barley and cut for green
feed. Cultivate with q sharp-shared
%cultiyator at intervals each time new
stems are thrown up.

CONSERVING WATER IN ROWS
Every Farmer Experiences Much DIT
hculty In Getting Water 10 Reach
the Extreme End.

(By T. B. HOUSE. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
The difficulty that every farmer ex
perences in ordinary row irrigation
Is to SO control his supply that the
water flows down each o. at the
same rate and with sufficient velocity
so that when the water reaches the
lower end of the row the upper end
has had time to be sufficiently moist
ened for the water to reach the roots
OF the plants. In order TO accom-
plish this every field should have a
ditch running along its highest part
properly laid out. This will be best
accomplished by making openings
through the side Of this ditch through
which the water runs into the rows,
level; that is to say. fixing them 30
that when a dam Ia put In. which
brings the water over the bank and
forces It though each opening with
the same velocity and therefore have
the same head. It will, therefore, be .
paying proposition to make these
openings permanent
"A ~ AAouO " AuluOC vi OAS OS~
with openings In the side, each SEQ
ton set level, with a drop at the end
OF each section, so that by placing the
dam at the end of the section the same
quantity OF water Is discharged
through each opening and finds ita
each with the same velocity and the
same quantity of water is supplied to
each row. This quantity a be regu-
lated by increasing or decreasing the
head on each opening, and with this
arrangement 1t will be found that la
Dor, time and water will be saved.

The Canadian thistle Is a d~eep-root-
ed perennial of European origin with
creeping root-stocks. which send up
shoots at intervals from two to four
feet high. Leaves deeply notched and
very prickly, with a somewhat crimp-
ed appearance. The under surface of
the leaves is woolley and grayish In
color; the upper surface is smooth and
dark.
1t produces a large number of flower
heads. containing flowers which are
from three-quarters to inch across,
light purple in color
The seed is about one-eighth of an
inch long and of a golden color with
a tuft of fine down at the top. by
means of which it is distributed by
the wind. Seeds ripen about July or
the first of August. 1t is propagated
both by its seeds and extensive root
stocks. the latter penetrating the soil
from ten to fifteen inches.
This weed crowds o u grain crops
on account of its rank growth.
Canada thistle is quite commonly
mistaken for Prairie Bull thistle by

USE FOR Cement

Hardly a day passes nowadays tnat

recently n of the leading railroads
ren,aced wooden telegraph poles by
concrete poles and they are being
found more satisfactory from almost
every point of view. Reinforced con-
crete blanks are being used IN steam

being replaced by concrete on some
railroads. The infants milk is oD-
tanned in a dairy where the floors,
walls. bins. feed-mixing troughs n
stalls are all of concrete. AS he grows
elder he is surrounded on all sides by
concrete structures. and when he dies
his body is placed in a grave whose
vault Is constructed Of concrete. n
a concrete tombstone is used to mark
his resting place. Thus the examples
of the varied uses of cement might be
multiplied. One Of the most novel.

tree dentistry" This consists in the
filing of old cavities in the trunks

after the rotten wood has been care
fully removed. somewhat similar to
the manner in which a dentist care
fully cleans a tooth cavity before
filing Care should be exercised, now
ever. to see that the surface OF the
cement is low enough for the bark to
grow over.
Foresters believe this will be the
means Of saving many old trees from

becomes unnatural and perverted.

CABBAGE WORMS
Effectual Spray to Eradicate In.
sect Pest Is Given-Bugs
Are voracious.

The cabbage worm is the larva OF
the white butterfly. which may be
seen flying around the garden early
in June. The moth lays her egg in
the heart of the cabbage-the eggs
soon hatch out where the weather is
hot and dry. The are small
at first, and of a greenish color. They
are ~voracious and iced mostly on the
inner leaves of the cabbage. Unless
destroyed when young. the cabbage
will be ruined. as they eat out the
heart of the cabbage. The most effec-
tual remedy is the paris green solu-
tion-made as follows:
Pure paris green. one pound. and
water so gallons; mix thoroughly.
spray the cabbage as soon as the
worms appear. Some gardeners use
the dry paris green mixture-which is
made as follows: Paris green. one
tablespoonful mixed with two gallons
of air-slaked lime-or dry land plaster.
The paris green solution is not
harmful when cabbage is small. When
the cabbage commences to head up
use Hammond's Slug Shot. This is
less poisonous than paris green and
safer to use when fruit or vegetables
are nearly ripe. 1t may be had for
ten cents per pound. A mixture OF
fine table salt and black pepper is
said to be effective. 1t should be
sprinkled in the heart of the cabbage
when leaves are wet with dew. APP
ply as soon as worms appear. The
salt when dissolved will kill the worms
