ERADICATION OF
N0XI0US PLANTS
ANNOYANCE and Loss From
Weeds May Be Overcome by
Spraying or Moving.

If farmers would see to 1t that nc
weeds would have a place on their
farms, and if fence rows and road
sides were kept free Of any weeds,
the annoyance and loss from weeds
would soon be overcome. But this is
not all that keeping down weeds will
do. There is nothing that forms such
a good harbor for the large number
of orchard and field insects as weeds;
weeds carry many such insects
through the winter. We can rid our
selves of the weed nuisance by spray
ing or by moving them down and
burning them.
This again calls to mind the fact
that insect destruction would be ma.
terially lessened if all weeds, filth and
rubbish in and around orchards were
cut now and burned. You will more
than save the cost of doing it by
making insect control and fungus dis
eases less difficult each year. Why
cannot we have a clean farm move
ment and have cleaner and better
farms, free from weeds and free from
such insects as harbor or go into win.

BIRD DOG HAS SPECTACLES

Minnesota Fanny, thoroughbred
English setter, owned by Troy Can
trell OF Lead Hill, Ark, wears spec
tacles. She was fitted with "specks"
by an oculist. who found that she was
suffering from astigmatism. For years
Fanny has been known as the best
hunting dog in northwest Arkansas.
Before the opening of the quail shoot
ing season the dog went to the fields
by herself and on returning was bad
ly scratched and showed evidence of
bad falls and bumps. Her owner
could not understand this until the
opening day Of the season. Fanny
tried awfully hard. it seemed. but
could not keep from falling into
bitches and running into trees, and
Mr.. Cantrell then discovered that her
eyes had become affected during the
summer.
The dogs "specks" are held in place
by straps and appear very much like
goggles. The lenses are protected
from damage by protruding rims of
metal. The intelligent dog seems to
understand their benefit and hunts"
like an old-timer now.

some Of the best herds in southern
Texas have thrived on q continuous
roughage ration OF prickly pears and
have kept in the best condition with
a rather heavy concentrated ration OF
cottonseed meal and rice bran. In
one instance a herd of 80 to 100 cows
had no ether roughage for nearly two
years. No Inconvenience was apparent
and the milk flow was good. Although
the feed has tendency to scour, it
was considered by the dairymen that
no injury resulted from this cause.

BREED PESTS FOR BOUNTY

The Vermont legislature may be
asked to repeal the hedgehog bounty
bill, on the ground that certain con-
scienceless farmers are actually rails
ing hedgehogs for the 30cent bounty
that the guileless state is now paying
a head. The hedgehog bounties
amount to about 100000 a year, rep
resenting the killing Of about 100000
hedgehogs. With Yankee thrift that
not even the makers Of wooden nut
megs in Connecticut could excel, some
farmers have figured that a hedgehog
crop is pretty profitable at 80 cents

of a native spiny form is equal to one
ton of good sorghum hay.
Although practical dalrymeu have
used the native prickly pear success
fully for months at a time, with almost
no other roughage, 1t is more than
probable that the best results could
be secured by using some dry rough
age in connection with it-feeding the
prickly pear in a manner comparable
to silage as commonly employed, i. g.,
as a part of the roughsge in the
dairy ration. This conclusion Is
