WARRING ON 'WEEDS.
June is the month ot weed's and the
clativator must be kept on the move.
One hoeing is better than three Vat-
erings.
Prof, Bailey gives this advice on
keeping weeds la check:
1. Practice rotations; keep ahead
ot the weeds. Certain weeds follow
certain crops; when these weeds be-
come serious change the crop.
Z. Change the method of tillage. If
a weed eersists, try deeper or shallow-
er plowing or a different kind of har-
row or cultivator, or till at different
times or seasons.
Harrow the land frequently when
it is in fallow or is 'waiting for a crop.
Harrow it, if possible, after seeding,
and before the plants are high enough
to be broken by the Iraplement. Pota-
toes, corn and other things cart be har-
rowed after they are several inches
high, and soinetimes the land may be
harrowed before the plants are up.
*Le 4. Practice frequent— tillage with
light surface working tools through-
out the season. This is hard on weeds
and does the crop good.
5. Pull or hoe out stray weeds that
escape the wheeled tools.
6.. Clean the land as soon as the
crop is harvested, and if the land lies
open In the fall, till it occasionallY•
Many persons keep their premises
scrtipulously clean in the early season,
but let them run wild late in the fall,
and thus is the and seeded for the fel-
' lowing year.
Use clean seed, particularly of
crops that are sown' broadcast and
which, therefore, do not admit of
tillage.
8. Do not let the woods go to seed
on the manure piles, in the fence cor-
ners and along the highways.
9. Avoid coarse and raw stable man-
ure, particularly if it is suspected of
harboring bad company. ' Commercial
fertilizers may be used for a time on
foul land.
10. Sheep and pigs sometimes can
be employed to clean the weeds from
foul and fallow land. Laud infested
with Jerusalem artichokes is readily
cleaned if hogs are turned in.
11. Induce year neighbor to keep his
land as clean as you keep yours, Rank
pigweecls and their like as a compli-
ment to a man's soil. Land that will
not grow weeds will not grow cfops,
for crops are only those particular
kinds of weeds a man wants to raise.
Weeds have taught us the lesson of
good tillage. There is no indieation
that they- intend to remit their efforts
in our behalf.
GOOD FARMERS NOT TROUBLED.
Where the soil is properly tilled and
attention given to a suitable rotation
of crops, weeds are of little conse-
quence, The Farmers ,Cyelopedia of
Agriculture says the possibility of a
luxuriant growth of weeds shuply fur
niches an urgent reagoa for thorough
tillage- of ,the soil, aid the result is
seen in better crops of cultivated
plants.
in _gardens, cultivation and hand -
pulling are the sovereign remedies for
weeds. In lawns, annual weeds may
be destroyed by repeated mowing.
Perennial weeds may be eradicated bY
digging and pulling and by sowing
more and better grass seed. Weeds
in grass lands are to be Crowded out
by securing a thick sod. If the grass
seeds is impure and the stand of grass
is poor, it may become necessary to
plow and reseed. . anal
In cereal and other field crops the
use of horse -power weeders has .been
attended with good results. _ Where a

In oreter to prevent weedu from going
to seed in such localitle.s,
Many weed e may be destroyed bY
repeated cutting before the seeds nave
become mature. If, for example, the
exeye daisy is out within ten days after
blooming it will be prevented from
reseeding.
In recent years extensive experi-
talents have been made in destroying
weeds by means of chemicals. At. the
Rhode Island station it was found that
common sorrel could be gradually
driven out of acid soils by liming.
Lime increases the yield of timothy,
orchard grass, brome grass and clover,
but greatly cheeks the growth of
sorrel. This may be accomplished by
applying five tone of air-slalted lime
per acre, followed by an application of
three tons per acre during the next
year. In North Dakota it was found
that nearly all the annual weeds com-
monly found in grain fields ccfuld be
killed by spraying with copper Elul-
phate without injuring the grain.
About one barrel (80 to 60 gallons) of
a solution of copper sulphate in the
proportion of one pound to four gal-
lons of water • is required per acre.
Tbis application is riot effective in dry
weather. Spraying iihould be done
when the young weeds are just out of
the ground, while the grain stands
from five to tea inches high. Experi-
ments in Vermont showed that the
various species of wild mustards mild
be cheaply destroyed in this manner.
.A. number of. other chemicals have
been tested in spraying weeds; but
usually without satisfactory results.
FARM NEWS AND VIEWS.
Rhubarb is usually oropagated by
division. of the fleshy roots, small
pieces of which will grow if separated
from the old established roots and
planted in rich, mellow soil in either
spring or fall. Poor soil should be
made rich by spading out at least
three feeting of the surface, filling
with well -rotted manure to within one
foot of the level, throwing in the top
soil, setting the roots .with the crowns
four inches below- the surface and
firming them with the feet. The
stalks should not be cut for up until
the second year. See that the plant
does.not Want for water when it is
making its heavy leaf growth.
Itt fall, coarse manure should be
thrown over the crown, to he forked
or spaded in lightly when spring
opens. Cultivation will not bp neces-
sary throughout the summer it a
mulch is placed carer the ground on
each side of the plant. The great
overhanging weeds are quite effectual
discouragers of weeds, and few, if any,
will grow in the immediate neighbors
head of the root.
Old. rhubarb plants in the garden
should be dug up, divided—and plants
with only two or three buds should he
replanted in very rich soil every four
or five years. The seed should- be
cut oft as soon as It appears, so as to
throw the strength into the leaves and
talks. If given good care and well
manured these planta will live for
many years and yield abundantly.

Bullets in the Brain,
Several months ago a Belgian was
struck by a dart .dropped frotu. a Ger-
man. aeroplane. It went right through
his head vertically and betWeen the
two shies of his jetty, coining out
under the chin, It was a dean cut. The
man Was treated in a London hospital
and recovered. He is in London to-
day, perfectlywell, and had no symp-
toms except once a slight fit.
Another Instance et marvellous re-
covery was that of a. youth who was
shot through the frontal lobe. Lon-
don surgeons took away the whole of
the bone of his forehead and a large
piece of his brain, Re made an immed-
iate recovery. A medical student re-
ceived a stern wound in the frontal
lobe. He spent six months in various
hospitals and made no progress. They
told him he would heal up. He came
to London, and it Was found there was
a chunk of shell in hie brain. This was
removed and be is now getting better.
Playing las part in heroic action, an
Australian got it bullet through his
brain, the effect of which was loss of
epeeistu and paralysis of one side of las
body. He was brought over here, the
bullet was removed from his brain and
lie recovered his speech.

This isn't mere talk—It's a solid,
truthful fact. No other remedy—not
a single one—will cure cramps so
quickly and harmlessly as Nerviline.
It hits the ;spot in a jiffy and saves a

POVERTY IN EGYPT.
1t Often Drives Parents to Sell
Their Children as Slaves. .
In the whole land of Egypt there aro
now only two cities, Alexandria. and
Cairo, Yet once Egypt was the grand-
est country °cilia world, having as
many as 200 eities, but these have been
all long swept away or covered with
the and of the desert.
In these two cities, Alexandria and
Cairo, all the principal people of Egypt
reside, while in the country .districts
up the Nile tbere are no towns and
hardly any villages, but only scattered
settleMents of peasants, who are call-
ed fellahs or fellahin,
These fellahs, thottgh of the same
Arab race and religion as the people of
Cairo, are very different in most other
ways. Instead of the turban, the flow-
ing robe and the gay slippers, which
the men of the city weer, we see only
a half clad figure with matted hair and
skin blackened by the sun; instead of
the veiled lady in a robe of silk, here
Is a poor woman with naked feet in
a dress woven of grass, One thing,
however, both use in common—a
bracelet.
The fellahs of upper Egypt are very
numerous, but they are all very poor.
Their houses are mud huts, used only
to sleep in, as they are in the open air
most of the day, Their food consists
chiefly of vegetables, which they eat
uncooked, such as maize, melons,
gourds, beans; lentils and dates; those
that have a cow can get milk, and all
can get fish. Meat they seldom taste,
and their bread is ouly a half baked
paste of bruised maize or millet. Rice
18 tee dear for them. One luxury, how-
ever, all the men—and wonien, too—
manage to get whatever else they go
without—that Is, the ever presentacing
wooden tobacco pipe, smoking.
The poverty of many fellahs is so
great that a family of children is often
a great burden to the parents. Many
eases yearly occur of parents selling
their 'children as slaves to escape front
the expense of their support
A parent will sometimes make a long
journey to Calle) to get rid of his young
children. Some time ago a women,
brought to it rich lady of that city an
Infant, which she said she fauna at the
door of the mosque. The lady said she
would take the child and adopt It and
handed the woraan a stnall sum as a
reward for her trouble in bringing the
child. The woman refused the offer,
blushed and withdraw. She was the

INSECT METAL BORERS.
Wasps 'With the Ability to Eat
Their Way Through Steel Plates,
The voracious and destructive nab -
its of the white ants of the tropics
are widely known. Metal is almost
the only substance that they are una-
ble to destroy. There is an insect,
however—and it is not necessary to
go to the tropics to find it—that can
bore through metal as easily as the
white ant can. bore through WOW.
Any one can hear this insect buz-
zing in the pine woods in midsummer
or perhaps see the flash of its yellow
wings. Sirez• gigas is its formidable
scientific Dame, but we know it simp-
ly as the horn -tailed wasp. This wasp
bores into the tree in various places
with its long tail and in each hole
leaves an egg.
The ensuing larvae, a white, six -
legged grub, fitted with powerful
jaws, takes up the work of boring in-
to the wood, and as it advances closes
the passage behind it with sawdust,
uninterrupted the larvae continues
boring deeper and deeper into the
tree, and since it is, of course, grow-
ing all the time, it makes a larger
and larger passage.
After About two years it. makes its
cocoon of silk in the burrow. Then,
after the pupil skin is cast off, the
winged insect breaks through its co-
coon. Immediately, with feverish
haste, it begins boring toward liberty.
Finally it reaches the bark of the tree
and then the open air,
It is often the ease that during the
larval period the tree in which the
hornAtailed wasp is burrowing may
be felled, sawed into planks and used
in building operations. Sometimes for
some particular purpose the timber
may be incased in a metal sheathing.
That does not disturb the wasp at ail.
When its time comes it applies itself
with energy to its task and soon
bores a hole through which it can es-
cape.
Holes made by these insects hdvo
• been found in .tin roofs, and in the
mint at Vienna was a safe the halt
inch steel plates of which the wasps
had perforated. Some extraordinary
eases of their activity were brought to
the notice of the Academy of Sciences
in Paris.
A barrel of cartridges that had been
stored away for some time showed
the ravages of the wasps in theft
search for light and freedom, The in-
sects had not only eaten their way
through the wooden barrel, but
through the cartridges and leaden bul-
lets as well.
Other boxes of cartridges, dating
from the Crimean war, were shown
completely ridled by wasp borings,
an excellent illustration of the tre-
mendous .e.trength and the determine
-
tion to accomplish their ptirpoEe that
these fragile insects possess.
