INJURY DONE IN
REMOVING WEEDS
Most Beneficial Method Is to
Burn Them Where They Are
and Scatter Ashes.

The usual thing is when the weeds
have been loosened to remove them
bodily Now, in doing this it is al
most impossible to avoid removing
a part of the upper surface of the gar
den. 1t may be only an inch OF two,
but that inch is just the best OF the
ground. This is the height OF folly.
One reads OF the thrifty French
gardeners removing so many inches
of their soil when they have to quit
out. There is an agreement to that
effect. The soil that they have i'm
proved with years of labor and care
is a tenants fixture" so to speak,
and they take it with them.
What goes on in too many OF our
gardens Is just the reverse. Instead OF
going away and bringing the soil with
us-that is the wealth OF our gardens
we stay and the soil goes. thrown
out on the rubbish heap to form part
OF an eyesore and nuisance to the
rest OF the establishment
These things should not be so. In
the Utopia of well-managed farms and
gardens, OF which we now and then
have an inkling. there Will be no
rubbish at all. for what is rubbish?

FLOWERS THAT MATCH FROCK
One of the Prettlest Fancies of Many
Seasons Is the Adornmeut
Thus Effected.

What real pleasure women missed
when they were too prim to tuck a
bunch of flowers into their frocks, or
too fearful lest the stalks should stain
their pretty raiment.
Nowadays flowers are the finishing
touch OF every toilette. and some wom-
en- give orders to their florists or their
gardeners for bouquet twice or thrice

to wear
In the evening 1t is usual to wear a
single and very exquisite blossom, the

mammoth poppy. an orchid-all are
popular. Strange fantasies in mater

There are many reasons why farm
ers should keep more sheep writes
Prof. Thomas Shaw i'm The Home
stead The relatively small number
that is kept on the average farm is
one of the remarkable things about
the live stock industry in the United
States. The totals of this class Of
stock are not much more than they
were 80 years ago This is all the
more remarkable in view of the ire
mendous expansion that has been go
ing on in almost every line of agri-
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm to aid in keeping down weed
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in a sense insati-
able devourers of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton if they have
access to the same at a comparatively
early stage in the growth of the
weeds. When other pasture is not
overabundant this cropping down of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will

nave watched sheep when first turned
into a grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. When such weeds
as lambsquarter were present and
quite young and succulent. they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound more or less. They abound
not only in the form OF weeds, but in
the form of grasses of various kinds

MUST BE HAND EMBROIDERED
The Proper Thing for Both White and
CoIored Linen ParasoIs-Wide
Variety of Designs.

White and colored linen parasols
show hand embroidery. They are
mounted with ivory or bone handles
and tips or with light natural or pol
ished wood handles and brass pointed
tips. Some of them are finished about
the edge with fringe, some with a plain
hem and some with an embroidered
scallop. a wide variety of designs is
shown in embroidered parasols. Satin
stitch, eyelet work and outlining are
used in combination to produce both
ornate and simple effects. Almost all
parasols are made with eight panels.
and half dozen skeins of cotton are
needed for embroidering each panel
with a design of moderate size; five
or six dozen skeins, therefore, would
be sufficient for any parasol. The big
department stores make up the en-
broidered panels into parasols and sell
sticks and frames.

grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found I'm the high
ways. beside the farms. and they are
found along fence borders whatsoever
may be the build OF these. The sheep
that are given access to these will
virtually clean up everything and In
good form. The food thus eaten
would otherwise be wasted. at least
it would in large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat
for the household The farmer is
much prone to confine his meat diet
to salt pork, and largely for the rea-
son that in this form meat is most
easily kept. Where sheep are kept
upon the farm the farmer may have
fresh meat and of a delicious char
acter by killing and dressing occa-
sionally a mutton from his flock.
With good place to keep such meat,
as an apartment in an ice house. he
may enjoy such meat in warm
weather. But even in the absence OF
such place he may partake of such
food during much of the year-that
is, during all portions OF the same
when the weather is cool enough to
enable him TO keep such meat In a
good condition. In this way much of
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs of the farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted.
Sheep ought to be kept because of
the influence which they exert upon
fertility No class OF animals kept
upon the farm will equal them in the
favorable influences thus exerted.
This arises first, from the readily
available condition in which the drop
pings reach the soil: second, from the
scattered condition in which they
reach the land, and, third, from the
general distribution of the dropping
over the land. In this way sheep
leave the land richer In available fer
tility when they Craze upon it than
1t was when the grazing began. Thus
1t is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has a golden hoof. And It is
founded on the truth.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SWIM
Valuable Course Has Been Added to
the Public Schools of the City
Of Pittsburgh.

course in swimming has been
added to the required studies in the
public schools of Pittsburgh, and DR..
Watson l.. Savage is quoted as saying
that he will see TO it that every child
in the city is taught TO swim. This
is step in public education that de-
serves the hearty approval of every
parent and every seeker of the public
welfare.
ITO ride, to shoot and to speak the
truth" was the ancient Persian ideal
of education. Needless to say. this was
for boys only; girls in this day fare
better than when the maxim was
made. They are taught to exercise
as well as to develop their brains
nowadays. Alike boys and girls ought
to learn to swim, and the public
should provide means OF teaching that
most valuable and pleasurable accom-.
plishment.
Swimming is splendid sport; Il
develops muscles rarely used In other
sports and it's usefulness is beyond
question. Yet comparatively few per-
sons learn to swim. There are sailors
who have spent many years on the
water but are unable to keep afloat
when suddenly cast into the element
with which they ought to be thorough
ly acquainted. Drownings are far too
numerous; knowledge of how to swim
would greatly lessen their number.
May the time soon come when every
child who passes through the public
schools will have learned how to
swim.

Protected workmen Not Afraid

While the unbridged and perhaps
unbridgable gap between Republicans
and Progressives is the obvious pri-
mary cause OF the Democratic victory
in the thirteenth Massachusetts, con.
gress district. it is right for President
Wilson to congratulate and to be con-
graduated on that triumph. It shows
that his popular mandate is as strong
as ever. 1t shows that the old pro-
lection bugbears cannot brighten the
workmen in certain protected indus
tries whose protection is cut off or
cut down by the Democratic tariff bill
OF 1913.
