Fight Against Bindweed
Won bv Kansas Farmer

Despite the fact that land infested
with bindweed is often abandoned be-
cause the owner believes 1t impossible
to exterminate, William Dietz, Sumner
county (Kan.) farmer, has entirely
rid his farm Of this weed. Mr.. Dietz
used three methods of determination
On the smaller patches he applied salt
at the rate of about one pound to tho
square foot. Mr.. Dietz does not rec
ommend such a method, however. AL
though he applied the salt ten years
ago, he has not yet produced crop
on the land so treated. Two or three
acre patches of bindweed he success
fully exterminated In about three
years by placing hogs on the patch.
A 20-acre field was rid Of the pest
by the Intensive cultivation method.
He plowed the patches early In the
spring and then went over them from
three to four times a month through
out the remainder of the summer,
using a knife weeder, which cut the
plants about four inches below the
surface. Following this practice for
three to four years, Mr.. Dietz declared, !.
will entirely kill them.

Age of Fowl Determined
by MANY Characteristic,

The age of fowl can generally be
told by the size of the spurs, but this
rule does not always hold good. To
some extent the texture of the leg is
a guide to age, and so are the dell
cacy and freshness of the skin of the
face and comb. The skin of the body
is better test, as it becomes coarser
and dry-looking with age. Formerly
the wing-feathers were considered an
absolute test between a pullet and a
hen, even after the long practice of
early breeding had made the melting
of early pullets quite common. An
Australian authority says that a pull
let will show rose-colored veins on
the surface of the skin, under the
wings. There will also be long, silky
hairs growing there. After year old
these hairs and the veins disappear.
and the skin grows white and VEIN
less. 1t is more difficult to judge the
age of water fowls than Of other
poultry.

Much Milk Lost
During Summer
Best Plan Is to Reduce Bac-
terial Count by Carefully
Cleaning Cows Body.

The quantity of milk spoiled through
sourIng during the summer can be
reduced by the simple precaution of
having the cows clean at milking time.
advises F. O. Button, professor OF dali
ry industry, New Jersey state college
of agriculture.
The mud, manure. scurf and loose
hairs that accumulate on the cows
body all carry a considerable number
of bacteria. A single gram (about
1928 ounce) of fresh COW manure has
been found to contain 100000 bac-
terra. Since this material often con-
stitutes large proportion of the filth
on a cows body the Importance of
cleaning the animal can readily be
seen.
Experiments with dirty cows have
shown that washing the teats and I'D
ders will reduce the bacterial count
from $1,000 to about 1000 per cubic
centimeter. When cows are cleaned
In addition to having their teats and
udders washed, the bacterial count
may be reduced to 1000. This assumes
that the utensils In both cases are
clean and sterile.
Boards of health are becoming strict
el In their requirements Of what con-
stituteg clean milk. For the protec-
ton Oh the public they demand that
bacterial counts be kept within rea-
sonable limits. This, besides the fact
that clean milk does not sour as quick
ly as bacteria-laden milk, makes 1t
point of good business for the dairy
man to thoroughly groom his cows.
Clipping long hairs from the belly,
adder and TANKS facilitates proper
cleaning. Grooming Is best done an
hour or so before milking, as this will
leave time for the dust to settle.
The best results can be secured only |
when udder and teats are washed or
wiped with a clean, damp cloth, just |
previous to milking. When udders and |
teats are soiled with manure or mud, |
washing with clean water is necessary.
Water should be changed frequently, |
80 that a clean supply Is always in
use. After washing surplus moisture
should be removed by wiping with a
dry or slightly damp cloth. Then there
viii be no surplus water to drip into
the milk pail, or to wet the mixers
hands. When milking starts, the I'D
iers, teats and TANKS should be clean
and slightly damp.

Poison Gophers to Save
Various Big Money Crops

Any time is gopher killing time, ac-
cording to A. E. Oman. rodent control
specialist Of the Kansas Agricultural
college. Encouraging reports are COM
ing in from communities that have
used poisoned oats Many farmers re-
port 100 per cent eradication from one
treatment. Mr.. Oman urges dilligent
use of the poison method to save po-
tato crops. A few quarts Of poisoned
oats or of treated carrots will protect
a large field. Gophers working In al
falfa fields can be effectively poisoned
after the first hay crop Is removed.
The zoology department of the col
lege filed orders for $50 quarts of poi
soned oats, five ounces Of strychnine
and 100 pounds of cyanide flakes dur
Ing the week of May 10 to "a.
The five ounces of strychnine would
treat two bushels of oats, enough to
kill 1000 gophers. The 100 ounces of
cyanide flakes would treat 1000 prai-
RE dog holes.

and tried to make his tone as hopeful
as one could who was trapped In the
bowels Of the earth.
She put her arms about him In a
manner Indicative of complete conf
dence. And, with Shella beside him.
Winton felt that nothing mattered.
He must have slept, for some time
later. opening his eyes In incredulous
self-distrust, he discovered CLEAN of
daylight far beneath him.
"Shella !" he whispered.
He felt her stir beside him swim

Look" he said pointing
Against the tiny patch of light he
saw her face, and the look on 1t told
him that, what he had hidden from her,
she had concealed from him.
"Sheila, you have sleptT
mot very much, Winton, dearl"
"You knew our dangerT
Il had you, Winton," she answered
with supreme confidence.
He raised her hands TO his lips,
awed by her courage and faith.
They began following the track
down toward the patch OF light 1t
was hardly more than an earth-hole in
the mountain, but freedom was not far
away. And at last they emerged upon
the steep hillside and understood the
nature of their location.
The whole of the mountain was
with assures. In the
course of ages, as these crumbled
away, and the boulders above fell I'M
der the pressure OF the whole mass,
tunnels had been formed. The road
which they had traversed had been ac-
tually, continuation of the pass at
the end Of the valley OF bones, and
had once been open to the sky.
But what gave Winton the greatest
confidence was the discovery that this
was the only pass through the solid
wall, which extended for sew
sral miles in either direction. To at
Jack them the Hottentots would have
% make almost a days detour. And
here was not the least likelihood that
hey would do this. They had nothing

their thirst at pool formed by the
rains In hollow of the rocks, and set
their faces resolutetly in the direction
Of Malopo.
1t was fearful, thirsty journey that
lay before them. There were five and
thirty miles to cover. and their only
hope of surviving 1t lay in the prob
ability Of rains that afternoon. The
seasonal downpour now seemed well
established. And because there was
no alternative. they dismissed their
fears and started.
There would be nothing to fear from
the natives In the desert. However
the rebellion might be faring, all the
available warriors would either be
mustered outside the town or, at the
worst, would be in possession of IL.
AS for the Hottentots, Winton and
Sheila agreed that they would prob
ably remain in the mountains, by the
water. for an indefinite time, since all
their instincts would lie in keeping out
of the fighting.

age in addition to the grain ration
The older the pig the less tankage 1t
needs per 100 pounds of live weight
One-fourth of a pound of tankage per
head per day will do the job for hogs
of different ages. Skim milk, butter
milk linseed-oll meal or soy-bean meal
could be substituted for tankage, but
It should be remembered that one
pound of tankage is equal to two
pounds of llnseed-oll meal or soy-bean
meal and to two gallons of skim milk

A GOOD MIND

A FTER 25 years of married life, 1t
4 was more fun for Mrs william
to plan and get her husbands present
than it had been even the first Christ
masses. One year she left Billy's book
1T was always a book-until the
last. His own special copy of 'Rab-
bic Burns" had been lost, and, with
out saying anything to Billy, she
meant If possible to duplicate It,
Burns was the poet from whom he
aoved to quote on all occasions-there
was a man, he was wont to say, who
really offered one the milk Of human
kindness. So Mrs. William proceeded
first to the library to hunt up the
special edition that the lost copy had
been.
The librarian had straight line
between her eyes and the corners OF
her mouth were drawn down. Mrs.
William, who had carefully consulted
the card catalogue before applying
at the desk, was met with an Icy
stare. This was Christmas week and
the library was short-handed; If she
wanted special edition shed have
to wait until the boy had time to hunt.
Mrs. William was perfectly willing
to wait-and she did; for three-quar-
tiers of an hour.
With her glow of pleasure some
what lessened, she continued on her
errand. At the book store where she
dealt there was tired and jostling
crowd and a. corps of Christmas trade
clerks-Mrs William wondered If
these were the same "boys" that had
made the library short-handed. The
employee she accosted was not inter
ested in Robert Burns, and took no
pains &c conceal his scorn of one so
entirely unaware of the "best sellers"
Mrs. William was made to feel that
1t was no time to come asking for a
book so out of the holiday line.
AS she came out onto the street.
she had begun to think that perhaps
the Christmas spirit was indeed a
thing of slower-moving and less
crowded generations. 1t had started
to rain and the rising wind whipped
the storm round her ankles. A gust
caught her umbrella, and as she strug-
gled to hold it her package with Bill
ly's poems fell to the wet pavement.

Haze uou his Habit
By Margaret Morrison

looking down she saw quaint figure
in the uniform of messenger boy
picking up her lost book. He was
almost midget and was evidently
man past fifty. His face was
cadaverous and there were deep lines
round his mouth, but in his eyes was
the flash of fun and youth. And all
the time that Mrs. William thanked
him sedately, there was in her mind
the extravagant desire to take him
home with her to their warm fire and
good supper and Billy and "Rabbie
Burns"
For, he had crystallized thought
for her; that the habit of pleasant
ness means mental fitness; that a
cross-grained person is not healthy
animal. To desire the best, expect
the best, demand the best from 9TH
ers, and to acquire the habit of turn
ing tranquil countenance toward
the world-these imply not what we
used to mean by good nature but
what we mean now by good mind.

TT DOESN'T matter what you make
What great amount of money,
II you're not saving for the sake
OF days that aren't sunny.
Some people brag about sthe dough
They're making ev'ry minute,
Unless you save little, though,
My boy, there's nothing in 1t.
A dollar man who saves a dime,
A little of the dollar,
Is really richer all the time,
However they may boiler,
Than those who make five or ten,
When things are rather humming,
And then just pass 1t on again,
No better for its coming.
Not what you make but what remains,
How much of 1t you're saving,

How well you are behaving.

Tomorrow through your fingers,
Just see that when 1t passes on
