The fact that farmers are crying for
relief from the weed pest, and that the
government ia trying to aid them. is
one Of the encouraging signs Of the
day.
To rid the country of noxious weeds
would put agriculture forward most In
calculably.
An enormous amount Of labor is in
volved every year in the extermina-
ton Of weeds. Not only are these
weeds troublesome to cultivated agri-
cultural crops, but they are trouble
some in meadows and pastures. The
cornfields and cultivated crops gener-
ally, must be kept clean II a crop Is
to be produced. or course, the farmer
would want to till his soil whether
weeds occurred or not. A soil that is
not cultivated would not produce a re-
munerative crop. But the weeds have
come to stay, and the farmer must till
the soil to keep the weeds in subjec'
tion.
1t is, therefore, important that every
farmer should know something Of the
best methods OF DISCRIMINATING these
weeds, and thus make It possible tc
produce better crops.
| The most common weed is tbs
pigeon grass, or the various types O
foxtail grasses. The common doGT
yard plantain, ragweed, and othel
seeds, are found in considerable guam

ON NARROW GAUGE TRACKS
Railroads Used for Warfare In Europe
Have Equipment That 10 Espe

Among the adaptations Of devic@"
OF domestic convenience to the re
quirements of modern warfare Is the
employment OF narrow guage rail-
ways in the supply of trenches on
the battle lines at the front In Eu'
rope. More than 100 such trains, II
is reported, are now in construction
at works in Pennsylvania.
These trains, as described. will run
upon q track two feet in width, In
tunnels SO small that they can reach
the firing line, right into the trenches
unseen by he enemy, carrying am
munition. shrapnel, hand Srenades
and arms. BY SO much, it is expected
the resources OF the trench fighters
will be supplied. The use OF such
miniature trains Is an incident OF the
evolution of the system OF under
ground close-to-hand fighting adopted
in this war.--Boston Post.

GROWERS URGED TO
IMPROVE PACKAGE
Attractive and Carefully Graded
Fruit viii Always Command
Highest Prices.
CBy L. n. BENNINdToN0

That all fruit ought to be carefully
graded and packed IL an axiom most
frequently neglected in practice. Al
though considerable advance has been
made in this respect, stimulated, no
doubt, by the advice of statesmen,
there 10 still room in many instances
for improvement.
A few small or specked apples. or
bruised pears, or plums lacking in ap-
pearance and color. will ruin the value
Of q whole package; and fruit thrown
together Just as 1t is picked returns
only half the price Of consignment
which is dispatched tastefully and
consistently.
An attractive and weli-packed con.
Segment OF fruit will often bring
vice the price Of one slovenly and
.ndiferently packed.
Not taking into account the choicest
fruit, which may be decorated with
and packed in fancy paper, shavings
and cotton wool the ordinary paper
of commerce is suitable, but thicker
paper Is required for apples and pears
to prevent bruising.
Newspapers answer admirably for
packing purposes. Wood wool, espe
cially prepared in several qualities
may be obtained at q reasonable
price.
Fruit growers are frequently urged
to improve their packages. but there
are difficulties which must be sur
mounted.
The grower must discover the ranl
of the public and conform to theii
tastes and predictions. Instead o.
sending all his fruit to one marke
he must use his ingenuity and energ!
in dispatching his fruit where 1t II
most acceptable and profitable.
In one great market there may b
A superhuity and in another an insuf
ficient supply Of certain kinds OF fruit
It is the growers business to fin'
out these diyersities and TO marke
his wares accordingly. and he can d.
this by the aid of the telegraph an
the telephone.
A grower should from TIM to tim
attend the different markets, not onl
to learn the condition in which hi
own fruit arrives. but to obtain infoi
nation and hints for his future guic
ance and benefit.
