BAD WEED IN THE PASTURES
surdock Is Typical Back Yard Plant,
But Is Found In Fence Corners
and All Waste Places.

Burdock is a biennial plant with a
large, deep tap root. The leaves,
which are large, r generally fuzzy
beneath, and the leaf stock is hollow.
The first year the plant merely devel-
ops a leaf and root system. The sec,
ond year the branched Towering stalk
is sent up, sometimes six feet high.
At the ends Of the branches purple
tipped flower burs are formed. The
burdock is especially bad in sheep and
horse pastures, as the burs get into
the wool of the sheep and names and
tails Of the horses. Burdock flowers
in July and August and seeds in Sep

STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Obscure Corner-Spade and
Turn Frequently.

A common practise is to the
garden every year, late In the fall, or
before planting in the spring, no fur
Their attention being given. This prac-
tise. however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in a large box with a lid, or so
screened that flies cannot enter 1t.
Manure heaps are the natural breeding
places Of these pests and IL they are
allowed to remain near the house, I'M
covered, will prove a great nuisance.
A good plan Is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to a frame with
hinges for the top. The should
be spaded often on the top SO that the
water from the clouds or the sprin-
king pot may penetrate to all portions
OF it.
II kept in a box a spout should be
placed in one corner, at the bottom, 80
that the water may drain into a sunken
barrel.
This will supply liquid manure
which a be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.
The manure In the box should be
worked yer once or twice a month,
working the bottom to the top SO that
the entire heap may rot.
Manure may be kept in this manner
IL the boxes are placed at the farthest
point in The garden from the house,
and If surrounded with vines their
presence will never be noticed from
the dwelling.

TREAT HOGS FOR PARALYSIS

Partial or complete paralysis of the

The following are recommended In

Tankage or Peruvian guano, 500
pounds per acre; fine ground bone,
1000 pounds; l~ow-grade s~ulphate OF

The Stag is not mixed with the

confined to pregnant animals. In m
instance a herd Of A hogs, OF both
sexes and ages, ranging from ten
months to two years, nearly all OF
them were affected with partial or
complete paralysis Of the hind legs.
The ration had been largely raw pota-
toes.
They appeared to suffer no pain, the
appetite was quite normal. A balanced
ration would probably have prevented
this condition. The following treat
ment has been recommended and
should be helpful in these cases: One
tablespoonful of cod liver oil, Is
grains phosphate of lime and three
drops of fluid extract of nux vomica
mixed with the food twice a day.

GOOD HINTS ABOUT FENCING
OF Importance to Note Shape of FieIds
Because II Has Much to Do With %
Material Needed.

When building fences note the
shape Of the fields, because it has
Euch to do with the amount of fencing
and material required to inclose or re-
construct it.
Thus: A square ten-acre field is 40
rods each way, and will therefore need
half a mile of fencing.
A ten-acre field four times as long
as wide is S0x20 rods, and will conse-
~quently require 200 rods Of fence, or
40 rods more than before; so that a
square field needs less fencing than an
oblong n of the same size. This is
a point not often thought Of by a good
many.

Incomes are now being taxed. 1t is.

come is anything which you cannot
live upon expressed in terms of law
full money. Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the men,
bers Of a state legislature. or a police
captain. or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes: to lie about
and to live beyond. Many people who
will ne have to pay any are complain
ing to their friends and neighbors
about the way they r oppressed by
the income tax. This Is n Of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
