Birds Appreciate
Drinking Fountains

Water is positively necessary in
every birds life. Some, for in
stance the gulls, terms, ducks
geese and herons, live entirely
upon it, while almost all use il
very often.
In very few of our yards and
gardens is water to be found natur-
ally, so we must supply it for our
feathered friends if we want them
to spend the summer and even the
winter with us.
One of the easiest ways to make
a bird bath is to dig hole in the
ground, then put in garbage can
top. Fill this almost full of water;
one-quarter to one and one-quar-
ter inches is best (never deeper).
To make it more picturesque,
surround the pan with bricks and
stones. OF course, it is much bet
ter to make one of concrete or to
buy one made for birds.

THE WEED MENACE

MADISON, Wis.-In the campaign
against noxious weeds, the State
Department of Agriculture is daily
receiving letters and calls from all
over the State, asking for greater
cooperation from Indifferent neigh
bors Weed commissioners appoint
ed by local authorities in every town
are stirring up these "procrastina-
tors" mo longer" they say "can
the spread of noxious weeds be re-
garded with Indifference" The
duty and policy of the weed COM
missioners today is not simply to
serve notice on neglect farmers but
to follow up notices until the weeds
are out. These commissioners are
clothed with ample authority to
force the issue. 1t is their duty
to get results. They are effective
~ backed by the town chairman, and
town board, as well as by the State
through the Sta*s-Qepartment of
Agriculture.
1t is the duty of the public to mott
fly the weed commissioners of any
failure of any one to cut his weeds,
and also to report any officer negli-
gent in his duty.
The farmer who persistently neg
lected noxious weeds and fails to
keep them from going to seed on
the theory that he can raise good
crop in spite of the weeds does not
have the best interest of his COM
munity at heart. Each year more
land becomes infested. The more
prevalent the weeds become and the
more farms there are infested the
greater the loss to the whole commun-
ity. More land produces less than it
would be capable of doing if not
weed infested. More labor IS re-
quired to produce a maximum crop
and in the end land values will de-
crease. In this matter of weed con.
troll no man "lives to himself alone, I"
but must be governed to some ex-
tent, at least, by the welfare and in
terest of his neighbors, many of
whom realizing the danger are siren
uously striving to keep thei rfarms
free from noxious weeds.

Southern gardens begin to look
seedy about June 10, gardens in the
Middle states section are In the height
Of their glory, and the New England
gardens are just getting well started.
It seems to be foregone conclusion
on the part of most persons through
out the Southern states that southern
gardens can be grown only In the
spring and in the fall, with rev
chance hardy crops during the winter.
The farmer of the middle section
plants his spring garden, then gets
busy with farm crops, and very Little
further attention is given the garden,
unless the work is done by the wOm-
en-. In the New England states and parts
of the Northwest where the grow
ing season Is quite short only one crop
of most vegetables can be grown. In
the middle section, however, two
crops can often be grown on the same
land, and, more important still, con-
tinuous supply of peas, beans, sweet
corn, and number of other vegeta-
bles can be had by making successive

ASHLAND AND bayfield,
COUNTIES BEE KEEPERS
MEET AT BAYFIELD,

Last Wednesday, thirty men and
women who are bee-keepers in Bay
field and Ashland Counties, held a
bee-keepers' meeting near Bayfield,
and visited the apiries of o. G. Mills,
S. d. Clark and Mr.. Beebe's. The
first stop that was made was at the
farm of o. G. Mills. After looking
over his bees, a business meeting
was held, during which Mr.. Mac
hurry, State Bee Inspector, gave q
very interesting talk CT American
and European Foul Brood and told
how to prevent and eradicate same.
In order to prevent the spread of
this disease the state has passed a
rigid law, not allowing bees to be
transferred or moved from one part
of the County to another without be-
ing inspected by the state. In or
der to make this work efficient, each
county will have a bee inspector.
Bayfield, County chose three men
who vii, compete for this position by
taking a Civil Service Examination
from the State Department and the
person who passes this examination
with the best recommendation will be
appointed ythe state to look after
all bees in Bayfield, county. These
three men who were chosen at the
meeting were Geo. Harrow of Cable,
S. D. Clark, of Bayfield,, and ]. w.
Arnold, of Mason. Ashland county
chose Claud Moll, L. d. Peterson and
Roy Hunt.
A very interesting and instructive
day was spent by all those present.
1t was very noticeable that some of
the women were very interested in
Beekeeping also.

To get maximum production, however.
IL Is necessary to keep the land busy

ways; frst by companion cropping,
and, second, by following one crop
with another or successive planting.
