Annual Weeds.

AS to the duration our weeds may
be grouped into three classes-annuals.
biennials and perennials. Annual
weeds are those which produce seed
and die the same season that they be-
gin their growth. They come up anew
each year from seed. Some of the
most common annual agricultural
weeds occurring in the west are pig.
weeds, wild oats, ragweeds, goosefoot
Or lambs quarters. shepherds purse.
foXtail grass, false flax. barnyard
grass. squirrel tail grass, sweet clover,
knot grass, witch grass, Russian this
tie, crab grass and SOW thistle
The following suggestions are given
for combating weeds Of the annual
class: In the case Of titled crop and
fallow land cultivate thoroughly just
after the seed has terminated. On
land badly infested with such weeds
place crop that can be given clean
tillage, such as potatoes or beets. Un-
der no circumstances allow the plants
to go to seed. Clean cultivation is one

french Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

. France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The French
have for generations used simple mix
ture of vegetable oils that relieve stom-
ach and intestinal ailments and keep the
bowels free from foul, poisonous mat
ter. The stomach is left to perform its
functions normally. Indigestion and
gastritis vanish
Mr.: Geo. H. Mayr, leading druggist
of Chicago, cured himself with this
remedy in short time. The demand
is so great that he imports these oils
from France and compounds them under
the name of Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy. People everywhere write and tes-
tify to the marvellous relief they have
received using this remedy-one dose
will rid the body of poisonous accretions
that have accumulated for years and
convince the most chronic sufferer from
stomach, liver or intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold by
leading druggists everywhere with the
positive understanding that your money
will be refunded without question or
bubble if ONE bottle fails to give you
absolute satisfaction.

eggs are started to incubate, which
renders them unfit for use at home or
to market.
If possible place the brood coops near
the cornfield, which furnishes both
shade and fresh ground.
The free use of kerosene or crude
petroleum on the roosts, dropping
boards, in the cracks and around the
nests will exterminate mites. White
wash is also good.
Spray the brood coops once a week
with some of these solutions and move
to fresh ground.
Be sure and feed the table scraps to
the fowls. Milk is one of the best
feeds for egg production. For addi-
tional information on poultry get in

ture, Washington. D. c., for Farmers

FARMERS CONTROL
BUTTER INDUSTRY

Minnesota has nearly twice as
many cooperative creameries as any
other state in the Union, and nearly
one-third Of the total number of CO.
operative creameries of the United
States. The number, according to a
bulletin on statistics of Corpora
ton Among Farmers in Minnesota .
by L. D. H. Weld, Chief Of the Divi-
sion of Research in Agricultural
Economics of the University Of Min
nesota, is GA, which is ~ per cent
of all the creameries in Minnesota.
FortY-two per cent of all the farm
ers in the state are patrons of these
creameries. There is no other i'm
portant dairy state, says Mr.. Weld,
where the butter industry is con-
trolled to such an extent by the farm
ers themselves. A majority of the
creameries are operated on no-profit
basis, deducting from their gross re-
ceipts enough to cover expenses and
distributing the remainder from
month to month according to the
amount of butter fat brought in by
patrons. <.-s.
D. These creameries in 1913 made
74,934,940 pounds Of butter. This
was an average of 122,044 pounds
for each creamery. For the butter
fat the farmers were paid $685.
321. The average amount paid to
the farmer by each creamery was
.$32,554. The total =. running ex-
penses for the cooperative cream
cries was. $1,6S2,931. The average
number Of COWS for each creamery
was 1922.

Women in Germany.

The hausfrau in Germany has been
obliged to give up the work she was
most used to, and step out into new
and untried fields. She was untried,
yes, but did not long remain un-
trained. for. says the Scientific Amer
ican. nothing is done haphazard in
Germany. Take, for example, women
as car conductors.
Timid at first. they were not long in
getting used to the role they are called
upon to play in war time, and are now
as bold as their male comrades in dis
tributing the tickets, shouting the
names of stoppages and answering the
inquiries of passengers. To choose
these female guards from among the
wives of those called to the colors was
very wise measure indeed: in fact.
it was killing two birds with one
stone, as these women had. in any
case. TO be provided for. These women
had at first to undergo the same theo-
retical and practical training to which
regular tramway guards are subjected.
This training is as comprehensive as
could be desired. Those appointed for
tramway service receive tuition in the
elements of electrical engineering, and
by means of demonstration on dis
mantled bogeys and the various parts
of tramway cars are taught the very
details OF their design and handling:
experimental lectures, finally. prepare
the candidates for the practical train
ing in actual service. which is i'm
parted by an experienced colleague.
For practical reasons And in order to
leave them time to attend to their
households. these women are only en-
ployed for half the day. During the
first months they were only intrusted
with service on trailers, but now they
can even be seen on motor cars.

Mrs. Taft Advises Wives.

We do not recall that Mrs. William
Howard Taft ever drew attention to
herself. says a writer in the Milwaukee
Journal. during the time that her hus-
band held public office by stating her
opinions on fashions, morals. or any Of
the numerous things which women who
are much before the public are asked to
comment on. But Mrs. Taft recently
made a statement which leads US to be-
lieve that she is well worth listening to.
We mean her declaration that 1T is Just
as much a wonlan.s duty to see that
good food Is selected for her table as II
Is to see that food comes to the table
properly prepared and served"
Freed from the duties which devolve
upon the wife of a man in public posi-
ton, Mrs. Taft. living quietly in the old
college town of New Haven, devotes her
time to her home, and out Of her own
experience tells other women that mar
ketiny efficiently and economically Is one
of the most important of the functions
which fall to the housewife.
Isn't this sound? Doesn't 1t seem rea-
sonable that a housewife should exer-
else the same care and skill in buying
her raw material that she uses in getting
it into the form of the finished product?
The woman who does her own market
ing and learns what to buy. when to
buy 1t and where Is not helpless before

ing question. but 1t will do a great deal

be hard to find any more pathetic than
that OF Princess Amelia-the poor little
best-beloved daughter Of King George
III. of England. She was born August
9. 1913. and died when she was but sew
enteen. She was the last and fifteenth
child Of George III. and from her in
fancy showed marks of decided bodily
delicacy. The entire nation watched her
with affectionate concern and the stories
of her loving and patient disposition were
listened to eagerly. At the age of g.
1t is said, she realized that she was a
little princess. though without the slight
est touch of pride or hauteur AS a
child she was gayer than her sisters,
and well beloved by all who knew her.

as her sisters.

Man is a five-toed animal who seems
ashamed of the fact. He covers his
sensitive feet with leather which turns
him into an imitation ungulate or hoof-

has corns and bunions. He takes the
spring out of the earth with his pave
ments and the elasticity out of his
stride with hard-solcd shoes. and mar
wells why walking has become pain
Instead of Z pleasure.
