Kill Canada Thistle With
Thorough Guilty.

1HOIOuSH CuitlVdJlOu
Only by such cultural methods as
will result in keeping the Canada this
tie from growing above ground, can
its eradication from infested fields be
effected, is the substance of the reply
to inquiries from various parts of the
state made by Professor Scudder,
agronomist of the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. The methods by which
this is to be accomplished are ex-
planned somewhat as follows:
Plants should not be allowed to go
to seed, as the form is SO light that
they are carried considerable distance
by the wind, in irrigation bitches or
in hay, manure, and grain.
When occurring in small areas it
should be cut while in bloom, close to
the ground and completely covered
with tar, building paper, or a heavy
coating of straw or manure. The COW
ering is to be left on the spot until the
ground is to be plowed, after which it
may be seeded to row crop such as
corn, checked-rowed, or a smother
crop of buckwheat or rape, sown
thickly.
If but few scattered Individual
plants are found, these should be cut
off just below the surface of the
ground when they are in bloom and a
handful of stock salt thrown on the
roots, or small amount of gasoline
applied.
If the thistle grows in a number of
small clumps, scattered through the
field, they may best be treated either
by smothering or by the use of sodium
arsenate spray made by dissolving one
and one-half pounds of this salt in
fifty-two gallons of water. If ap-
piled by small hand sprayer, SO that
the thistles are thoroughly covered
just before they bloom, the solution
will kill back the tops to the ground.
They should be sprayed as often as
they reappear. The method is effec-
tive but as this spray is very poison
GUS care should be taken not to inhale
it or permit stock to pasture on the
sprayed plants.
When scattered generally over large
fields, the land should be plowed after
the crop has been removed and then
cultivated with spring tooth harrow,
which will turn out the roots and
bring them to the surface. The fol-
lowing spring the ground should be
plowed every four weeks and if this
ties appear, thoroughly cultivate with
a spring tooth harrow up to July,
when it. may be seeded to a smother
crop of buckwheat or rape, thickly
sown. This crop is followed with fall
blowing and cultivation. In the next
spring put the ground into cultivated
row crop such as corn, potatoes, etc.
If the thistles were older and have OBJ
tanned good hold, the best method is
thoroughly cultivated, bare fallow.
In this case the first blowing should
be shallow and increased in depth with
succeeding plowings that the roots
may be torn out and killed.
All the above methods have been
thoroughly tried out and proved sue
cessful scores of times, but unless
they are thoroughly carried out, none
OF them are of any value.

NEW CURE FOR SWELL-HEAD
Let the Fowls Go by Themselves,
Separating From Others, II It
Can Be Done Conveniently.

Ry MRS. e. M. STETSON. California;
There is a practice among poultry
people to catch fowl with SWELL
head and squeeze the white matter
out, thinking that this will relieve the
bird of it's corruption and cause it to
get well. .l
This is entirely wrong. A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping it from going any further
than the one organ. When this sac
Is broken, as it must necessarily be
by the breaking of It's outside covering
in order to eject it from the eye, the
contagion is allowed to go down the
nose and spread to the whole head.
The bird is then hopeless case, for
there is no remedy now but the ak.
The matter which will be found in the
blood of the fowl is also of a very
contagious nature and contact with
other organs will cause them to take
on similar conditions of corruption and
decay.
If the bird is kept in a warm place
and is fed on highly stimulating and
nutritious food the blood will finally
right itself, but it cannot do SO If
largely re-infected, or vaccinated with
the virus of the disease throughout
the entire head.
The proper way to do is not to
touch the head, just letting the fowls
go by themselves; this is better than
the squeezing treatment, but separate
them if convenient from the other
chickens and keep warm and feed all
they will eat.
If the eye is not pecked by the other
chickens, as in fighting over food, or
the sac is not broken, there is no
special danger of the other birds catch
ing the disease, even if they are allow
ed to run together.
We spent several dollars for roup
medicine, worked necessarily, causing
ourselves and the poor chickens un-
told misery by trying the squeezing
out method, and always lost the cases.
Now we let them run and, save for a
blind eye, we seldom ever have one
die.

Three-score years ago, T. V. Sulli-

American business then in existence.
The new venture began in very
small way, with practically no capital
and no backing. AS it became dem

and men Of affairs became interested
in the management.
Today this organization has thou
sands of employees. It has 2,196 Of

les. It's expenses are more than ten
million dollars year. It has recent
ly erected building IN Chicago worth
$500, 000,- one in New York costing
100000, and another in Cleveland
valued at $953,000. It is building an
Office building in Atlanta at a cost OF
$4,000, another in Philadelphia val
ued at 1857, 900, and third in Boston
at an expenditure of $1,3OO,000. For
five years this corporation has been
erecting branch houses ct the rate of
one every six days. All told, it owns
725 buildings. It's real estate is
worth $7O,0O0,000, and it has main

OATS AND BARLEY sTUBBLE
Land should BE Piowed IN Aussst TO
S Allow SUFFICIENT Time for the
Weeds to Rot.

! If the oats and barley land Is to be
drilled to grain in the fall, it should be
plowed in August4to give time for the
weeds to rot and the ground to settle,
says writer in the Baltimore Ameri-
can. If the ground is dry and so hard
as to make it impossible to pillow, put
three horses In the sulky cultivator. A
better implement is the steel cutaway
disk. Set the teeth to run deep and
cut the ground over. BY narrowing
the field lengthwise and then across,
most of the weeds can be turned under
and the hard surface broken up, max
ing it much easier to plow as soon as
the August rains set in. The stubble
and weeds should be plowed under and
not burnt, as these, when rotted, add
to the fertility of the soil and tend to
make e capable of holding more mois-
ture. Long stalk or strawy manure
should either be spread evenly over
the field and plowed under or used as
a top, dressing after the grain Is
drilled in. If the manure Is rotted and
fine, spread it on top Of the plowed
ground and harrow it in as soon as
spread. The quickest and most eco
nomical method is to use spreader,
as it can then be spread evenly and
just the right quantity to the acre.
One of the great advantages in the use
of the spreader is in cutting up the
Jumps and strawy portions as it Is be-
ing spread. Two men with two-horse
spreader will haul and spread more
manure than four men will spread
from wagon or cart. The manure
should not be put out in little piles, but
spread direct from the wagon and har-
rowed into the top soil before it dries.
There is then no loss of fertility.
