This 10 more important than it
seems At first sight. Not until a
farmer learns something about the
weeds on his farm, their names.

doing, will be interested enough In
them to try to eradicate them. The
amount OF weeds upon many of the
indian farms In this state 10 notort1

knowledge in regard to weeds and
consequently the interest taken in
their removal, at its lowest ebb. It

We have great hopes for the future of
that mans farm. This can come about
only through the channel Of educa.
ton, by one means or another.
An observing farmer learns In two
or three years the weeds that are
most abundant upon his farm. and he
learns also those that are doing him
the greatest amount Of damage. He
q also learn the names Of these
upon inquiry, or they can be sent to

The land had been seeded for Sew
eral years, which did not hinder the
growth Of the weed. BY the middle

from that time the wheat crop was

the farmer known the weed and the
nature of it a few years ago, he could
have gotten rid Of the weed without
much trouble, whereas today the
ground is practically worthless and a
large amount Of labor will be neces-
sary to get rid Of 1t. If every farmer

Q.-ls there any significance to the
white line on the back Of cattle?
Answer by w. B. Richards, professor

There is no significance to the
white line on the back Of cattle. It is
commonly found in dark fawn or
bsownish black colored cattle and
seems to be commonly associated with
these colors. The line 10 not a dis.

Q.-What 10 the difference In corn
and barley in feeding pigs?
Answer by e. J.. Thompson, assist.
ant professor animal husbandry.
Corn is q more concentrated feed
for hogs than barley, and when fed
to hogs the feeder should always see
that the hogs have access to some
forage crop, a. alfalfa or clover. II
the hog IL being fattened in a dry lot
he should have a little bran mixed
with corn to furnish q bulk to hi
feed. .,. ... DC ..u
When barley IL the principal part
of the ration no bran 10 necessary for
bulk. but on the contrary some, shorts
or middlings had better be added to
reduce bulk and also to add protein
to the ration. One test here ut the
station in which corn WAS compared
With barley, it was found to take u
per cent. more barley than corn to
make equal gains with corn. The
mixture in this trial was four-dfths
