During the past four years the Ore taria Agricultural aid lesperimenta Delon have carried ou co.operative exper'ltnents in the eradication of weede. Some Ofty-eight fanners have taken part in these experitnente and some very interesting and vainable results have been obtained. The weeds r s ei a to e m n d with were re ere b p P n lal, Sow, rl'hietle, Twitch Arses, Bladder Campion, 1'Vildti Mustahi and Gx-eye Daisy. The results obtalaed way be traumatized as follows - 1 That good cultivation, followed byrape sown r .p o n in drilla, provides a weans of meradlcating both Perennial Sow Thistle and Twitch Grass. 2 That rape is a more satisfactory crop to use in the destruction of Twitch Gras than buckwheat. Grass h n u kwhsat. 8 That rape gives much better re- sults in the eradication of Twitch Grass and Perennial Sow Thistle when sown in drills and cultivated than it does when sown broadcast, 4 That thorough, deep cultivation, in fall and spring, followed by a well eared for hoed crop, will destroy Blad- der Campion. 5 That Mustard may be prevented from seeding in oats, wheat and barley by ;spraying with a twenty percent solution of iron sulphate without any serious injury to the standing crop or to the fresh seedings of clover. Tuose who tock part in these experi- ments profited by the experience, in nearly every instance they cleaned the field experimented -upon, demonstrated to their own satisfaction the effective - nese of the method tried, and at the same time the results furnished practi- cal information to others. These Cooperative Experiments in Weed Eradication will be continued this year (1010) and it is hoped that h large number of men will take pelt in them in order that sufficient intermits. tion may be gathered to warrant de- finite statements being made in regard to the beet methods of controlling these pernicious weeds. The experi- ments for 1016 are as follows; 1 The nee of rape in the destruction• of Perennial Bow Thistle. itl A system of intensive cropping and cultivation, using Winter Rye followed by turnips, rape or buck- wheat, for eradicating Perennial Sow Thistle. S The use of rape in .the deetruc tion of Twitch Grass 4 A method of cultivation and crop- ping for the destruction •.gf Tvvitcb Grass, 5 A method for the eradication of Bladder Campion of Cow Bell, (3 Spraying with iron sulphate to destroy Mustard in cereal crops, '7 A method of epltivation and cropping for the destruction of Ox -eye Daisy.

These weak lambs are money losers. In the management fled feeding of ewes during the winter season there are many little details to look after. It is careful attention to these details that leads to success in sheep raising. One of the first of these is kind treat- ment. No animal on the farm will re- spond to kind treatment as readily as sheep, and it is also always true that sleep will lose money for the owner if they are not properly cared for. Winter quarters. for pregnant ewes need not be very costly. The barn or shed should be made so that it will keep the animals dry above as well as under foot. It 'should be dry, airy, have plenty of windows and at the same time permit fiat drafts. Ewes •should have the privilege of # clet}�, try bedding each night, If they p.tre forced to 1ie on wet floors rheumatism and colds may set in. This condition Impairs the health of the animal. A. four or five year rotation works satisfactorily. Corn, oats, rye or wheat and hay one or two years. This may be varied by putting part of the corn stubble into potatoes and cabbage, seeding with peas and oats after this, bringing the rotation out .the same. (The cabbage is worth all It costs to raise to feed to the dairy.) Remem- ber good seed plays an important part in the production of a good crop. Buy the best seed and raise better. Save your own aced wherever practical. Give the fruit the best care you can without neglect to the general farm crops. Spraying pays, but can be over- done on a general, farm. Burglarizing the Perms.

Troublesome . Disease Preventable by Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture. [Prepared by *United States department o; agriculture.] Watermelon growers in various see - tions of the country frequently suffer loss from a disease which blights. the foliage and spots the frult. Tho leaves are covered with irregular dark, dead spots and may die before the melons aro ripe. The trouble develops on the fruit in the form of water soaked and later sunken spots of varying size, which come to have a pink ceptor made up of masses of the fungus pores. As the disease progresses the melons decay. This is anthracnose and is caused by a parasitic fungus related to those which produce the ap- plo bitter rot and pod spot of bean. The fungus causing watermelon an- thracnoso attacks cuesnmbers, canta- loupes and squashes, but.probably pot, Thrift of time will retlny yott in seta? life with a thoussandfdld of profit be. yowl your Mort Sengeino dteamL-" Vi�illf4tm h.watt Gladstone.

The losses were pgrticularly severe in seine districts where melons are grown• on a. largo scale for carload shipments. The department of agriculture juts found that the disease can be con- trolled by spraying with bordeauz mixture and trials of this treittmont are recommended. Tbo methods to be employed. are substantially those ilt use for potatoes, cucumbers and other truck crops. The following points should be observed to insure success: Use fresh homemade bordeaux iniuF• tore. In preparing .it follow directions exactly, as ;aitch depends on the way tbe ingredients are combined. Ilse a good spray putup, operated at a pres- sure of 100 pounds or more. Spray thoroughly. The time of application depends on the weather and the de- velopment of the crop. The disease usually appears when the fruit is near- ly grown. Watch carefully for tbo 'leaf spot and spray as soon as any ap. pears. In any case, ;Hake an applies. tion two weelts before maturity and a second a week later. Ingredients. -Copper sulphate, four pounds; quicklime, four pounds; -water to make fifty gallons. Prepare the copper sulphate by sus- pending it in a gunny sack Just below the surface of several gallons of wa- ter in a clean barrel. When the sul- phate is dissolved; which requires three or four hours, remove the 'sack and atir into the barrel enough additional water to make exactly twenty -ave gal- lons of the copper solution. ,Prepare the lime .by slaking it slowly and thoroughly in a clean barrel, strain and add enough additional water to make exactly twenty-five gallons of limo milk. Stir thoroughly. Pour the two ingredients together into another barrel or, better, directly .into the spray tank, if it will hold fif- ty gallons. It Is highly important to stir the mixture very thoroughly and to strain both ingredients before they aro combined, as otherwise clogging of the spray nozzles might result. Use a copper or bronze wire strainer of eighteen meshes to the inch. Do not put copper sulphate or bordeaux mix- ture into tin or iron vessels. Use weed or copper containers. Mix the bor- deans as needed and apply at once. It isnever so good after it has settled. Every one who uses bordeaux mix- ture frequently and in quantity will find it convenient to keep concentrated sitdelr solutions on hand, as these keep iriaefnitely ff the `vator which evapce pates is replaced: ' 1441y1 tin elevated platform to hold. the 'hare els.- suspend fifty pound's 'o cpp,pger sulphate to dissolve in a' Oh" gallon barrel qf water.

Under the present embargo on ship- ments of rubber it ie not possible to ship cars with tires to any of the neut- ral countries of Europe without rout- ing via London, but in this case of the King's car, a special decision was ob• tained from the British Ambassador at Washington and the car was shipped complete with tires direct to Madrid.
