BURN CHOLERA CARCASSES
Burial of Dead Animals Not Approved
by Nebraska Station-ExcelIent
Plan Is Described.

The burial of hogs dying of cholera
is not advised by the department of
animal pathology at the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station. The germs of the
disease will last long time in the
earth under favorable conditions and
are liable to cause a new outbreak.
The safest way to dispose of carcass
is to burn it.
Burning may be easily accomplished
in the following manner: Dig two
trenches few inches deep intersect-
ing each other at right angles. At the
intersection of these, cornstalks, cobs,
or other fuel may be laid. Over the
trenches may next be laid strips of
metal to support the carcass. Before
being placed over the supports, the
abdominal and thoracic cavities should
be opened and be literally sprinkled
with kerosene. Then the hog should
be placed belly downward over the
fuel. AS soon as the material in the
trenches is ignited, it will rapidly
spread to the kerosene and fat and
the body will be quickly consumed.
If large iron wheel is handy. it
may be substituted with good results
for the trench and iron bars.

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of com.
panionship, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes of the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un-
ashamed.

while tillage in its relation to
weeds usually is practiced for the
benefit of the immediate crop it also
may serve the purpose of preventing
hosts OF weeds from maturing seed"
opens the discussion in Farmers Bull
letinNo. $50, Weeds: How to Control
Them This bulletin gives a discus
sion of the weed problem on the farm,
dealing with prevention and eradica-
ton.
1t is possible for a farmer, espe-
cially if he follows a good rotation
system, to make his farm almost
weed-free by observing three main
principles of weed control: (D pre-
venting the weeds from going to seed
on the farm; (2) preventing the intro
duction of weed seeds on the farm;
and CD preventing perennial weeds
from making top growth. These
three principles are of far greater i'm
portance than the particular methods
used to carry them out. Often the
campaign against weeds is stopped
when success is in sight and the weeds
soon recover. Clearing the farm of
perennial weeds is no easy task, re-
curing intelligence and persever-
ance.
The thorough preparation of the
seed bed for every crop is an impor-
tant part in the control of weeds.
After blowing the disk, spring
or spike-toothed harrow to reduce the
soil to a good seed bed condition is
used. Each Of these borrowings de-
stroys hosts of young weed seed
iings. Thorough narrowing at this
period may be depended upon to kill
a large proportion of the weeds that
appear at this season.
Kill the Weeds Early.
After planting the cultivated crop
the same object that of attacking the
weeds when young, should be kept
in mind. To this end a drag harrow
or spike-toothed harrow is frequent
ly used, both before and after the
crop comes up. More weeds will be
killed by one dragging at this time |
than by several civilizations when the |
plants have become larger. The weed
er is also a valuable implement for !

with ,s5s, 600 last year. The condition
of hay is marked 80, or six points lower

In prices to producers there is decid-
ed increase. Corn is set at 81 cents
bushel, an increase of six cents over last
year. and oats are 6S and 81 respectively.
Potatoes have suffered tremendous
drop, the current price being set at 38,
while it was so last year. Hay is some,
what higher, $3.50 at compared with SIS.
Eggs are quoted at the same figure,

use at this stage. By removing some
of the teeth of this tool it can be
used in corn until the crop is nearly
waist high. Indeed, some excellent
crops of corn have been grown by the
use of the weeder only.
The drag harrow and weeder may
also be used to advantage with pota-
toes, cotton and other cultivated
crops. After the crops have become
so large that these implements can
no longer be used, the tillage is per
formed with cultivators. 1ntercultural
tillage is especially effective in con-
trolling weeds if the crop has been
planted in checkrows SO as to permit
the implement to work in two direc-
lions. Cultivated crops, therefore, Of

farm of weeds. II properly handled,
they are rightly termed cleaning
crops" Besides the usual cultivated
crops, small-grain crops can also some
times be cultivated to advantage in
the spring with a spike-tooth harrow
or weeder.
After the small-grain crop is har-
vested it is often good practice in the
northern states to harrow or disk the
stubble to encourage the termination
of the weed seeds that are at or near
the soil surface. The seedlings are
killed by the fall blowing OF by cold
weather. Some weeds, such as rag

farms of corn-cockle, wild mustard,
and many other weeds by little hand
work
Sheep are useful in preventing
weeds from seeding. In a pasture
where sheep are running it is usually
much more free of weeds than in
pastures where cattle am horses are
running. Another method of prevent
ing the spread of weeds sometimes
used, is burning them, culling. spoil
ing or turning over the standing weed
crop. This is often useful in killing
weed seeds both in connection with
the weeds cut green and allowed to
dry, and with matured weeds. Care
should be taken not to fork or disturb
piles while drying, as this might scat
ter the seed and then defeat one of
the objects of burning.

TREATMENT OF COVER CROPS
Thoroughly Cut UP Glover or Other
Crops With Disk Harrow Before
Turning Over.

Never turn the clover or other crop
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with disk harrow. as the material
plowed under in a layer seriously in
terferes with the capillary action of
the moisture in the soil. The effects
of turning under in layer are what
is sometimes called souring the soil
with green manuring crops.
Double disk the cover crop two or
three times with a sharp disk harrow
before blowing; pillow well by taking
a narrow furrow and edging rather
than inverting the furrow; then
double disk the land again rather
deeply, and no injurious effect will re-
suit however large the growth may
be.

weed and fuxtail, start to mature
| seeds soon after harvest, so that care
must be taken to turn the plants I'M
der before the seeds approach matur-
ity. Flowing without the preliminary
disking would turn under millions of
weed seeds to make trouble in future
| years.
Moving to Prevent Seed Scattering.
Moving is another way of prevent
ing weeds from going to seed AS a
rule, it is best to NOW when weeds
have reached the fullbloom stage.
When there are patches in grain fields
thick with weeds, it will pay to cut
them, grain and all, before the weeds
start to go to seed.
7 1t pays to cut hay crop early, in
order to prevent weeds from going
to seed as well as to secure better
quality of hay. After a grain crop is
removed, crop of weeds, such as
ragweed or foxtail, usually follows,
which, if not. disturbed, not only re-
seeds the land for further crops of
weeds, but may do much damage to
a young seeding of clover or grass.
Moving these weeds will prevent
most of them from going to seed, and,
further, the clippings will be of value
as mulch for the young grass.
More or less hand work is neces-
sary in preventing the growth and
spread of weeds on the farm. They
often occur in scattered places about
the fields and can be removed by hand
with a little work, whereas if they are
allowed to mature they will thorough
ly seed the land and make trouble for
the future. Such weeds may be pre-
vented from seeding, either by hand
pulling or digging them out with
mattock, hoe or spud SO far below
the surface that new top growth will
not spring up and mature seeds. The
annual and biennial weeds will make
no further appearance if pulled or
cut off when they are in full blossom.
One of the best tools for disposing
of weeds with thick roots is the spud,
tool with long handle and chisel-
like blade at one end. These are
particularly effective with bull thistle,
and chicory. By digging the |
weeds when they are in full blossom |
1t is sometimes not difficult to clear |
