TROUBLESOME BRAKE FERN
How Pastures May Be Cleaned o.
Persistent Pest.

The presence of the hay-scented
fern and the brake fern in pastures in
the eastern United States is a serious
detriment to the grazing of live stock,
which is a prominent feature in farm
ing in this section The department
of agriculture, in farmers bulletin No
GS7, recommends the following means
of reducing these pasture-wasting
pests:
Cut the fern with a scythe in the
middle of June, just as the spores are
beginning to mature, and repeat the
cutting about the middle of August.
before the second crop of spores have
chance to spread. AS soon as the
cut ferns are dry. burn them over to
lesson the vitality of the rootstocks.
After the cutting and burning the
land can be seeded with pasture grass
and clover. A better stand will be OBJ
tanned il lime or lime and fertilizer
are applied in addition to the seed
A second method is to spray the fern
growth with salt and water distribut.
ed with a hand bucket pump or n
knapsack sprayer. When the field is
so located that water for spraying is
not easily accessible, the cutting is
probably easier With ferns of an
average degree of thickness, a man
with knapsack sprayer ought to
cover about five acres day. The
salt is used at the rate of one pound
to about one and a half quarts of
water, and $50 pounds of salt ought
to be enough to spray the average
acre farm with ferns, which seldom
cover more than one-third OF the
ground, If five acres are covered per
day, with labor at $3.50, the total cost
of spraying is about $1O5 per acre fol-
each application, exclusive of the cost

not fit them than in all the wars

When a man has a pair Of
shoes on that hurts his feet he
is unfit for any work he at
tempts. If he is doing physical
work it Is, of course, very evi.

If he is doing mental work his
mind cannot work clearly. So
above all else, mans shoes
must fit him comfortably.
We endeavor to fit a man

buying a new pair OF shoes simp-

you utmost satisfaction from

Sworn Crucifixion Story
Absolutely False in every DetaiI'.

(From the Morning Albertan, Cal
gary Canada, December ss'h. lsis')
A number Of stories have been
told with varying degrees Of cir
cumstantiality, OF the alleged "cruci-
hxionP of Canadian soldiers who
had been captured by the Germans.
One OF the most detailed stories
of this kind was given recently by
Pie, w. Vaughn, OF the Princess
Patricia's, who has been invaded
home and who said, in Brandon
that after the battle Of 81, Julien he
had seen the body Of a Canadian
soldier who had been erucihed by
the Germans. Vaughn gave the
name Of the dead man. He said it
was Pioneer Sergt. Dean OF the
Princess Pats whom he had seen
pinned to the wall Of the barn by
German bayonets.
Capt. Hugh Niyen who COM
manded the Princess Pats after the
battle, writes from France to The
Albertan to declare that Pie.
Vaughn's tale is a fabrication,
destitute OF any foundation Of truth.
Capt. Niyen writes as follows.
Editor Aibertan: In your issue Of
Nov. 8 you give a story started
from Brandon, Sworn Ciucihxion
Story" from Private W. Vaughn,
r. r. c, l.. /.
This story is absolutely false in
every detail.
Pioneer Sergt. Dean has never
been absent a day from the
regiment since its formation and is
a brave soldier and | I'm sute does
