DRAINAGE ADDS TO PROFITS
Increase Of Yield From rs to 100 Per
Cent-Physical Condition Of Soil
improved.

Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production of crops should
be drained. Even uplands may often
be drained with profit, especially hill
sides subject to erosion or inclined
to be "spouty.' Indeed, drainage is
profitable wherever it is necessary to
the fullest use of the land.
It is not uncommon for lands too
wet for cultivation to produce, when
drained, 60 or 70 bushels of corn or
oats to the acre. On much of the
drained land the increase of yield
is from Is to 100 per cent, and by the
increased yield and the decreased cost
of cultivation the value of the land is
often doubled
Drainage improves the physical con.
dition of the soil by making it more
porous and friable
Health conditions are also improved
by the drainage Of swamps and stand
ing water.

as below.
3. Smother Crops.-Combination of
above. A good method on rich ground.
Cut grass early for hay as in U
above. Plow shallow four to six days
later. Leave for four to six days more
and disk thoroughly. Then sow
smother crop of buckwheat (four-ffths
peck, rape broadcast six-eighths
pound), millet (three-fourths peck,
or fodder corn in check rows. After
the crop is off, keep thistles down by
disking until frost. Hemp and alfalfa
are excellent smother crops in SEQ
tons where they are grown. Alfalfa
may be either spring or fall sown,
according to custom, but the surface
of the ground must be clean and we'll
prepared before planting.
4. Cultivated Crops.-Most gener
ally useful method. Corn in check
rows best crop. Have ground clean
before planting. Equip cultivator with
nine-inch sweeps instead of ordinary
shoes. Keep sweeps sharp and cult
vate frequently. Hoe tho corn after
laying by, and cultivate the ground
after harvest with disk harrow until
frost. Repeat second year.
S. Hoeing and Cutting.-Best for
small patches. Stake out the patch
and visit regularly with sharp hoe
or scythe at least twice week.
6. Chemicals.-There is no chemical
that in reasonable quantities will kill
Canada thistles with one application,
unless applied directly to the cut root.
For spraying, use sodium arsenite "a
violent poison), two pounds in ten gal
Ions of water; common salt, one
pound in one and a half quarts of wa
ter; or crude carbolic acid, diluted
one-half. If animals are sailed on a
small patch of thistles, they will final
ly disappear. Frequent spraying of
the thistle with the above chemicals
may be used instead of cutting in
rocky or other inconvenient places.
Z. Miscellaneous-Sheep will some
times Craze thistles to death if forced
to do so. Small patches Of thistles
may be smothered by covering with
overlapping strips CT tar paper or
building paper, weighing the laps
down with earth and leaving the pa
per on for eight to ten weeks during
the summer. A coating of straw or
manure one foot or more in depth will
answer the same purpose.

ada thistle is contained in Farmers

KILL OFF: TA|s1E| |:
Plant Abounds Throughout Gen.
trail West States.
Of Late Years Weed Has Been In
creasingly Troublesome in Grain
Growing Sections-Renders
Soil Unfit for Farminu,

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
In the states north of the Ohio
river, probably no plant bears such a
bad reputation as the so-called Canada
thistle. This marvelously pric]1ly
plant abounds in grain fields, pastures,
and meadows throughout the central
west, and is common in the northeast
ern states. It is found in parts of
West Virginia, Kentucky, and Mis-
souri,, and Of late years has been in
creasingly troublesome in the grain
growing sections of the Northwest.
Canada thistle, or simply thistle"
has been condemned in the laws of Is
states, and at least 100 local commu-
mites. Certainly no plant is more
generally and heartily disliked, unless
it be the sa1i bur of the southern
coastal plain.
The unpopularity Of Canada thistle
is due largely to it's unsightly appear
ance and exceedingly spiny leaves, and
to its persistent resistance to at
tempts at eradication. Under ordi-
nary cropping systems and with rea-
sonable care, the thistle is at worst
a disagreeable nuisance. Generally
speaking, it does not injure the quail
ity or quantity of farm products, ex-
cepting hay, as much as do quack-
grass, wild onion, or wild mustard;
nor is it as destructive to the grass
in pastures and meadows as are a
number of almost insignificant little
weeds whose very existence is often
unsupported. When left to itself, how
ever, the thistle spreads rapidly, un-
til in few years it will more or less
completely occupy the land, rendering

It unfit for farming purposes. The soil
upon which Canada thistles flourish is
apt to be Of good natural fertility,
and it usually pays to reclaim thistle
infested fields.
The cause of the remarkable vital
ity Of Canada thistle and the point
that distinguishes it from other prick
~ plants that are commonly mistaken
for it, is the long, cordlike, perennial
root. This root penetrates the soil
at depth of eight to fifteen inches,
or more, and gives rise at frequent in
often be found that an entire patch of
thistles is attached to one root, and
is in reality but one plant. The root
is exceedingly hardy, and can live over
winter or through a prolonged drought
in a dormant condition. Pieces that
are broken off by plow or cultivator
and carried to other places will await
a warm, moist period, and then begin
to send out leafy shoots, thus estab-
fishing a new patch. If the leafy
stems are cut down, others will be
sent up to take their place, and this
process may be repeated from two to
eight times before the root becomes
exhausted. In most localities the
Canada thistle does not produce many
good seeds, as the male and female
flowers are on separate plants, and
not all of the female flowers produce
viable seeds. Nevertheless, the seeds
are frequently hidden away in straw
and hay, and are sometimes present
in grass and clover seed and in seed
oats. AS each seed is equipped with
a feathery plume, a small patch of
thtstles may serve to infest a whole
neighborhood.
The point that must be kept in
mind, however, in fighting Canada
thistles is that it Is the roots. rather
than the tops, that must be killed.
Simply cutting off the tops a few
times has much the same effect as
pruning an apple tree. But if the
tops are cut off deep and frequently,
the root must eventually suffocate
through lack Of leaves. Bearing this
in mind, any g. the following meth.

HATS OF VARIED DESIGN
Milliners incline to tho Picturesque In
the Shapes Put Forward for
Fashions Approval.

The newest dress hats incline to
picturesque brims and a fiat crown.
They are, in fact, quite the antithesis
of the directoire or mushroom shapes
and are designed with a view to their
proper completion of tahfeta, satin or
serge frocks. Reboux has used ostrich
feathers to band a Gainsborough
shape, and Talbot has also set the seal
Of approval on ostrich plumes by u.s.
ing the latter to emphasize the cava-
lier picturesqueness Of models from
that house.
Lisere, leghorn, tagal, erin lace
and Milan are the straws favored. A
curious combination is shown in a
Milan sailor from Reboux which has
the crown and upper brim made Of
gray worsted. The worsted is laid
in strips without any attempt at q
fancy design and there is a pompon
Of the same posed directly in front.
There are other hats made of straw
with an angora surface. Doubtless
these will be very good for early
spring.
Another strange contribution to the
list is a hat made of blue taffeta COM
bined with braid made Of cork in
its natural color. The use of patent
leather braided in basket weave is not
new to this season, although it is a
candidate for renewed favor. Then
there are the confetti hats sent to
America by Jeanne Due. Models of
this sort are of medium sailor shape
and have the crown literally sprinkled
with tiny disks Of brilliant color in
confetti suggestion.
