Moving Eliminates Squirrel Tail.

Moving Eliminates Squirrel Tail.
Squirrel tail or tickle grass delights
in the early summer of every year to
wave it's silky blooms in meadows
and pastures. 1t appears especially
along the edges where the grass has
been somewhat trampled out.
While young the flowerhead seems
to be soft and silky, but when it gets
ripe it becomes hardened and when
found in hay in large numbers it is
very irritating to the mouths of live
stock, in some of the Western States
causing serious trouble.
Squirrel tail is an annual spread
ing only by seed. To get the best
of it NOW the infested patches in
meadows and pastures often enough
during the late spring and early sum-
mer to prevent seeding. Faithfully
repeated for several years this meth
cd will quite easily get the best of
the squirrel tail. Squirrel tail does
not cause much bother in corn, and
in cases where the grass stand is very
poor it may be wise to pillow and put
to corn for a year or two before again
seeding down.

FARM DEPARTMENT
Making Catsup.

Making catsup is quite an art, but
IL directions are followed one need
not fail.
In getting tomatoes for catsup be
sure they are of the red variety,
solid-meated and thoroughly ripe.
Defective and half-ripened vegeta-
bles are not dependable. Wash well
and cut out all soft and unripe spots.
Use an aluminium kettle, but failing
that, a good enameled or porcelain
lined preserving kettle; never use
iron or broken graniteware. Catsup
must be made quickly; lonk cooking
darkens the product. Use whole
spices whenever possible, save, of
course, sayenne, which should be
ground.
II is not necessary to remove the
skins Put in a kettle without water
and boil until thoroughly soft. Mash
through a fine sieve until only seeds
and skins remain. To each gallon
OF this liquid add three level table
spoonfuls of salt and one-quarter
tablespoonful of red pepper. Place
again in the kettle and suspend in it
a little flannel bag containing for
each gallon two level tablespoonfuls
of whole allspice, four level table
spoonfuls of unground white or yell
low mustard seed, one level table
spoonful of whole cloves, two level
tablespoonfuls of unground celery
seed, one ounce of stick cinnamon,
three ounces of green ginger root that
has been cleaned and scraped. Now
drop in two large whole unions.
Bring to a boil, stirring frequently
to prevent scorching. and boil until
the mixture begins to thicken. Add
one pint of vinegar and three level
tablespoonfuls of sugar Continue
boiling until the mixture becomes so
thick that when teaspoonful is re-
moved and placed in a saucer no wa
ter will run from it, Remove the
onions and spice bags, put the cat
sup in jars or bottles, sterilized in
boiling water, and seal or cork while
hot. If kept corked catsup made by
this recipe will keep indefinitely.

Wood Ashes For Fertilizer.

Wood ashes, prepared by burning
the wood in the air, contain on an
average to 10 per cent of potash
The contents of potash is determined
by the species of plant, the soil up
on which grown, and the portion of
the plant burned. The potash is in
a highly soluble form, and unless the
ashes are protected from the wealth
er will leach away and be lost. Pot
ash must, however be in this soluble
form to be of value for fertili2ing
purposes, and wood ashes properly
cared for are a valuable source of
supply. Farmers who use wood for
fuel should store all the ashes pro-
duced in a weather-tight place, since
by so doing they may assure them
selves of at least small supply of
fertilizer ingredient otherwise al
most unobtainable at present.
Bones are another source of fertil-
izer material which should not be ov-
erlooked. Ground bone has long
been recognized as a valuable fertil-
izer material, and as a source of
phosphoric acid its use antedates
that of phosphate rock. Raw bones
containes from 20 to rs per cent of
phosphoric acid and 5 to 6 per cent
of nitrogen. There are many meth
DDS of treating bones, but probably
the simplest and most satisfactory
for the small operator is to reduce
them to bone meal. They should first
be thoroughly steamed, say in boil
err such as is used for producing lime
sulphur, after which they should be
dried and ground to meal in bone
mill. Such a mill can be secured at
small expense and may be used for
other operations on the farm. The
bone meal so produced may be appli-
ed direct or in combination with wood
ashes. The application of wood ash
es and bone meal to the soil furnish
es the necessary constituents of a
complete neutrality-suspicious. acid,
nitrogen and potash.
A method of composing wood ash
es and whole bones, which is said
to have originated in Russia, is as fol-
lows:
"In a trench or feet deep wood
ashes and whole bones are piled in
alternate layers, each about inch
es deep. The lowest and the upper
most layers are of ashes, and each
layer of ashes is saturated with wi
ter as soon as it has been laid. Up
right stakes are set in the trenches
at intervals of about 3 feet at the
beginning, and they are withdrawn
after eight or ten days time. Into
the holes which the stakes have left
enough water is poured to saturate
anew the ashes. AT the end of two
months, when the bones have become
considerably softened, the heap
should be thrown over, moistened,
and allowed 10 ferment anew. This
process should be repeated at inter
walls as often as necessary. Five
months and three turnings should be
sufficient. st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
