GETTING RID OF QUAcKGRAss.
Persistent Ploughing and Disking Will
Kill 1t.
Nv TnuAy ACuI ~
BY JOHN ASHLEY.

Quaek, or witchgrass, through its un.
derground stems, or rootstocks, possesses
wonderful vitality, and once il takes
possession is very difficult to eradicate
unless something OF the nature Of the
plant is understood. Rootstocks. unlike
roots, do not absorb material for their
growth from the ground, but are depen-
dent on material absorbed by the roots
and improved upon in the leaves in com
bination with the sustenance the leaves
draw from the air. Now, as the devel.
opment of the rootstocks depends upon
the leaves, or blades Of grass, the leaf
growth during the season determines the
rootstock growth. In attempting to rid
ones land Of quack, the temptation il TO
try to smother il by ploughing il under,
but the result Of this operation is only

stocks. In is undisturbed state the
rootstocks Of quack tend toward the sur
face, where they are easily reached, but
when ploughed under. instead Of smother
ing IL. a great mass Of tangled growth
starts up toward the surface and the soil
becomes permeated with rootstocks Now
quackgrass can be destroyed in one sea.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION.
Sunday School Workers Appreciate Ef-
fort Made by Barre to Please Visitors.

On behalf Of the 400 people from all

invasion of motor power which has re-
duced the number of horses on our
streets has not influenced this demand
In fact, the price of horses has advanced
along with other commodities duiing re-
cent years.
The bureau OF animal industry of the
~. s. department of agriculture, Wash
ington, d. c. stands ready to aid any
farmer desiring to breed highclass hors
es. As the day of the large horse ranch
is practically gone, any increased de-
mand will have to be met by the farmer
There are certain localities more suited
TO horse breeding than others and places
where certain breeds do better. Such
details may be obtained for the asking.
Even in the south, where mules are bred
in preference to horses, an increased pro.
duction of first class animals should find
a ready market abroad. although the
mule is not used on the continent TO the
extent that it is used here.

Now that doors long open to Amer.

ruthlessly closed by complications over
the sea, the time has Unexpectedly
ripened for testing the oft.repested con-
tention that domestic missionary enter
prises deserve the higher consideration
and that energy hitherto eXerted in be-
half of the faraway "heathen" could bet
ter be centered at home. With the vast
machinery of foreign missionary effort
brought to a standstill almost over a
single night, there opens way for TO
cusing gospel propagation in some of
the more decadent sections of our own
United States. IL looks like fateful
time in the mission field abroad. Why
not call home the workers who must
cease perforce to preach in certain fields
and show them fields for service here.
In more than one denomination right
here in Vermont there has been keen
and not always friendly rival between
the foreign and domestic missionary So
cieties. Working together they might
solve an interesting question here in
America while the missions abroad are
compelled TO anguish. That the atti-

but when peace is restored, more will b.
needed for agriculture. Already Euro
pean agents are said to be endeayorine
to purchase horses in this country and
Canada. and there is an increased in,
terest in many sections in horse breed
ing.
| To meet this increased demand Ameri-
can farmers may well endeavor to raise
well bred horses, although the depart.
ment of agriculture does not advise
them to purchase surplus of horses
merely for breeding purposes 1t merely
advises that ordinary farm work should
be done whenever possible by good
mares which should be bred to good stall
lions II also desires to emphasize the
fact that only horses of high quality
may be probably raised to-day. In
ferior horses are drug on the market,
and their production is to be discouraged
as much as the production of good horses
should be encouraged.
The United States has previously
been drawn on to supply European
countries at war. In the Boer war over
100000 horses were brought here by the
British government. 1t may be doubted
whether a foreign government could now
obtain similar supply in this country,
except at excessive cost. However, if
farmers take pains to utilize their good
mares during this winter to breed them
TO good stations, in the course of several
years thine enough for the fosls to de-
velopi, America will be better able TO
meet the European demand.
II is natural that European countries
should look TO the United States for
horses, as next TO Russia ii has more of
these animals than any other country in
the world The United States and Rus
STA possess So per cent of the world sup
ply. Strange to say, however, there
were no horses originally on our con-
tinent and the present supply comes
from stock brought over from Europe
Canada's supply is small compared to
our own.
The German army require for a com
plete mobilization 10000 horses and the
French army is said 10 require 100000,
which figure. however, probably includes
only those for the cavalry. II is con
seryatively estimated on good authority
that I 100000 horses are now engaged /
in the European war. As the great ma
Iority of these horses are not included in !
the permanent military organization but |
are used for farm work and are requisi- |
Toned by governments only when needed |
or military purposes, the countries of
continental Europe will certainly face
in acute shortage of farm horses before
he next planting season which will
eriously affect the price of horses the
world over, as soon as peace is declared.
According to the best information
