WEED VALUES.
BIZ N. G. eIackman. Hoxie. kar

BY NJ. e. B1acknan, Hoxie, Kan.
The best definition 1 have seen for
the term weed" did not come from a
dictionary 1t is "a weed is plant
for which man has not yet found a
profitable USE
Why not give a little study to the
problem of finding a profitable use
for some of the plants we have long
known as weeds?
Many, if not most, farmers may
think it absurd to talk about weeds
as a profitable crop, but it is possible
in many cases to get a direct, as we'll
as an indirect value from a crop of So
called weeds. All western Kansas
farmers know that at certain stages
of their growth the common pig weed
or red root, lambs quarter, and Rus
sian thistle are eaten and relished by
stock generally and that stock do
well when pasturing on them.
Any plant which makes good green
feed will make good dry forage or
silage if properly cured. Working on
this theory l have, for several years,
put up both pig weed and lambs quar-
ter and have found that both plants,
cut when well grown but before they
begin to get woody, make excellent
forage for cattle and sheep.
1 have not used thistles but know
plenty who have and their experience
shows that to get good palatab1e nu-
tritious feed is just a question of put
ting them up properly. / do not
think such forage equal to alfalfa or
kafir at their best, but 1 have found it
fully equal to alfalfa that was some
what bleached. but was still good
enough to cost me $12 per ton. Every
ton 1 have put up each year has
proved to be profitable feed and well
relished by both cattle and sheep.
These weeds certainly have a direct
money value when handled In this
way If the objection is made that
there is no cash market for them,
the answer is easy. There is a cash
market for beef and butter, mutton
and wool. Also for other fodder, hay,
etc, that can be saved and sold by
utilizing the weed crop In this way.
From this 1T should not be argued
that we Of western Kansas should de-
vote our energies to growing weeds
we don't need to-they will grow
without our help There being more
land already broken out than there
are people or power to farm properly,
why not crop what we can come
somewhere near giving reasonably
good care to and make use OF the
weeds" that will come on the vacant
land by using them for forage. fer
tilizer, or at least for a soil cover dur
ing the fall and winter.
Take away the value of the by
products from many hourishing fac
tories and they would become un-
profitable Add the value of the
wasted by-products to the returns
from many an Improbable farm and
the result would be prosperity.

IRRIGATION FROM
WELLS
Water Level Ranses From 4 to ~
Feet

According to the Year Book 1905 OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture, gotten out under the direc-
ton of DIR. Elwood Meade, there are
sections in eastern Colorado where
the underground water is from IL to
80 feet below the surface.
Records from government expert
ment stations show that wells
equipped with windmf1ls or gasoline
engines irrigate from one acre to
seven acres each at a cost of from 70
cents to Sc per acre. This cost per-
mits the growing of orchards, gar
dens. fruit trees and wind breaks, also
crops worth from $12 to $500 per acre,
which include alfalfa, garden vege-
tables, fruit, Kafir, milo, corn, etc. In
ten years there has not been a single
crop failure where the windmill or
the gasoline engine provided mois-
ture- In most cases large storage
tanks or comparatively small surface
reservoirs are used in connection with
the pumping plant.
'Dr. Meade also states that it is be-
neved that there are few localities In
arid eastern Colorado where enough
water cannot be had for the irriga-
ton of from one to ten acres in each
much can be done with little water
where rightly used"
There are many wells in eastern
Colorado between Limon in Lincoln
county and Kit Carson in Cheyenne
county. where water has been found
ranging from to "a feet below the
surface.
The method is to sink a set or
battery of wells into the water
bearing gravel, from three to ten in
number, according to circumstances,
in a direct lateral line about SO feet
apart, each about IA inches in diam
eter, cased with special perforated
metal casing; the wells connected
with each other by one horizontal
suction line
THE center well is equipped with
a. pump, operated by gasoline engine,
pumping the water simultaneously
from all the connected wells. Expe-
rience has shown that as much wa
ter is obtainable this way from a IL
inch perforated casing well as from
a large open well of from 10 feet to
IA feet in diameter.
The pumping plants of this char
acter already Installed In eastern
Colorado are each furnishing contin-
uously from 500 to 1000 gallons of
water per minute, and are operated
by gasoline engines of from eight to
twelve horse power, driving centrifu-
gal pumps.
1T is estimated that 500 gallons of
water per minute is capable of irri-
eating eight acres"

been confronting Members of the
Fl ouse of Representatives most of the
time since last March. Representa-
tive Fowler of Illinois expresses the
situation: 1--WE came here before
the golden dandelions were born. or
the sluggish snakes had left their
winter dens. We were here when
the fair bosom of nature began to
swell into beauty and activity, and
by the aid of sunshine and rain we
have seen that beauty. and activity
develop into bountiful crop" The
sole excuse of the four hundred and
thirty-five Members of the House OF
Representatives for hanging about
Washing tod for months has been to
be on hand when the currency bill
should come back from the Senate,
and since this has been mostly
wasted effort the wise men on Capitol
hill. who have stayed const family on
the job. are lamenting the fact that
they did not go home to help with
the threshing.
What Uncle Sam does not know is
hardly worth asking about He has
even tabulated the calloused and
tender feet of the youths of the coun-
try. Though this has not been done
directly, yet the information con-
tanned through report on hosiery
and knit goods shows that in the de-
cade ended with 1909, the output of
socks and stockings and like articles
more than doubled in value, which is
much greater increase than the
growth in population. The inference
offered by the experts is that bare
footed youngsters are now no longer
the fashion.
'fTHE OPEN DOOR,
A few days ago large delegation
of New Jersey suffragettes came to
Washington for the purpose of asking
s'nejghbor Wilson, to aid them in
securing constitutional amendment
for equal rights. The ladies asked
some of the Representatives to inter
cede for them in securing an audience
and waited many hours for an answer.
When no response had been received
seventy beautiful suffragettes
stormed the executive offices. speedily
uncovering the ''open door, with the
result that they had most satisfac-
tory interview with the President,
who gave them considerable en-
couragement. and let them depart in
JOY and Happiness, after shaking
individually each of their soft white
right hands.
The latest demand in trust-busting
is that Congress investigated the
United Cigar Store Company, and
the gentleman on their trail is Repre-
sentative Kelley of Connecticut.

Topeka News Letter
Topeka, November 20.


The hundred dollar bond is the
salvation of the weak Kansas school
district, says State Treasurer Earl
Akers. Among the securities de-
posted with the treasurer by banks
to which are intrusted state funds
are large number of these small
bonds, mostly of school districts.
They are valued at par and most of
them, issued originally to friends of
the school project who had faith
enough to invest hundred dollars,
have come into the hands of bankers
through the original buyers These
bonds, Akers says, are thus kept at
par when, if they were originally
offered to investment brokers, they
would probably suffer. For other
municipal issues the small bond has
not been SO serviceable. The small
investor as rule has not acquired
an appetite for bonds.
In a communication to Colonel J.
n. Harrison, department commander
of the G. A. R., Governor Hodges
denies the story that has been widely
published to the effect that the in
mates of the Old Soldiers Home at
Dodge City and the Mother Bicker-
dyke Home at Ellsworth, are to be
furnished the same sort of clothing
as is given to the insane asylum and
penal institutions. s'This story is
absolutely without foundation and is
thoroughly malicious the Governor
ssrTho
responsible for it knew it to be false
when he sent it out. The policy of
this administration towards the Old
Soldiers has been to add to instead of
the restriction of his comforts-and
such will be the policy as long as 1

argument expected to last through the
entire day and perhaps longer. It Is
said to be doubtful that verdict will
be reached tomorrow, as predicted
early in the week
All of the prosecution lawyers so
far, have used more time than was an
ticipated. NJ. Samistovsky, one of the
most brilliant criminal lawyers in Rus
STA, spoke continuously for eight hours.
Most OF his speech was a general at
tack on Jews. His eloquence SO
wrought on Bells that at his conclu-
sion the defendant was sobbing aloud
and cried out: Il am innocent. May
God strike me dead if did that"
