PROPER CARE OF
TOOLS is BEST
Any implement of Steel Will Rust
if Not Given the Very Best
of Attention.
(By H. F. GRINSTEAD9

Any steel tool will rust if exposed
to damp air, yet 1 have found that
tools subjected to the following treat
ment every three months will not rust
unless actually thrown on the ground,
or exposed to hard rain.
Take two parts each of graphite and
tallow, and one part gum camphor;
melt together, and if not soft enough
to form a stiff paste add more tallow
or lard Remove all rust from the
steel surface, wipe dry, and apply the
paste. Let it remain on for "a hours
then rub dry.
Unless the tool is needed, even long
er than one day will be still better
for the tool to be covered with the
preparation The above preparation
has the effect of coating of oil,
though every vestige has apparently
been removed for months.

DESTROY CANADA
THISTLES IN YEAR
PestiferouS Weed ReproduceS It,
self in Various WayS-How
to Eradicate.
(BY G. H. DACY.l

These thisties reproduce themselves
by roots and seeds-the seeds being
disseminated by the water, wind, snow
in poorly graded grain, leaky grain
cars, etc.
Although the seeds are rapid repro
ducers the roots also are very effec-
tive in propagating the pests as they
spread quickly in all directions and are
readily transplanted by the plow, drag
and cultivator in various parts of the
farm.
The most effective measure in err
radicating Canada thistles is to bare
fallow the infested field for the sea-
son. The land should be plowed deep
ly four or five times and efficiently cul-
tivated with a spring tooth harrow be-
tween the plowings throughout the
season.
This system of control effectively
practiced will absolutely eradicate the
thistles in one year. In exceptional
cases where weather or soil conditions
have been especially unfavorable 1t
has been necessary to plow once more
the following spring and then to culti-
vate frequently until time to plant
corn when a crop of this grain should
be sown-check row method-so that
intensive cultivation can be continued
Fall plowing followed by careful cul-
tivation and early spring plowing
should effectually prepare the seed
bed for Hungarian millet or Silver
Hull buckwheat. These crops grow
rapidly and are shading the ground be-
fore the weakened weeds get started
After the crop is harvested, fall
plow and several civilizations will spell
sure death to the few surviving this
