WEEDS.
To keep a place Clear of weede
Means coAtineal warfare. But this will
be useless unless the neiglebore agree
to put the same aluOuat o lebor on

There are two rules 'watch will hold
good in the prevention and deetrtiotien
of weeds:
-The fieittefrom the ,Wellsknown fact

The seemed rule is founded on the
principle that no plant can live any
considerable length et time without
bre athIng through its lungs, the leaves,
Hence, all perennial -rooted plants that
creep and extend beneath the surface,
like the Canada thistle and milk -weed,
and thus_form formidable patches,
may be -destroyed completely paid
totally, if the leaves are never allowed
to appear above ground.
Annual and biennial weeds mostly
increase by seeds, and inclusle wjld
mustard, shepherd's purse, false flax,
cockle, chickweed, purslane, rag weed
or bitter weed, cockle -bur 111a.rigo1d,
etielttight or Spanish needles, 111aY-

lein, red root, tory weed or hound'
tongue, Jamestown weed or stink weed,
lamb's huarter, goosefoot or pig weed,
green amaranth, wild teasel, chess,
cheat or broom grass, and foxtail
grass.
The simple perennial weeds are tall
crowfoot or buttercup, John's wart,
plantain, pokeweed, water hemlock,
python hemleck, oxeye daisy, Mallow,
scur dock, sorrel, garlicanettle, sweet
flag or calamus and cat-tael flags
The creeping perenuial weeds are

A machine which plants from 10,000
to 15,000 forest tree seedlings a day Is
now being used at the Letchworth

ing county, N. Y., according to offi-

NOTES.
Investigations at the Missouri Ex-
periment Station E:1101V conclusively
that cattle can be wintered economic-
ally on a ration made up largely of
silage. In one experiment, a ration of
corn silage and clover hay without
grain, fed to yearling cattle for 100
days, resulted in a gain of 200 pewees
for the feeding period of 150 days, at
a total cost of $11.60 or a cost of 5.5
cents a pound gain, as compared with
sa total cost of $15.75 and 7.5 cents a
;pound, when a "similar lot of cattle
;were fed on six pound e ot 'shelled cora
per head per day and clover hay.
Thesee.results have been confirmed in
other expeirments, which all point to
tae conclusion that when silage Con-
htitutes the major portion of the ra-
tion fed to wintering or stock cattle
the coat of wintering Is much rd-
dueed.
, For the very driest lands that are
at all suitable for pasture, a mixture
of 10 pounds of red top and four
pounds of red clover to the acre is
good. A mixture ot 10 pounds. of or-
chard grass and five pounds' of red
clover is cheaper, and perhaps next
best.

Is uncovered one secret of the suceess-
ful raiser—a sturdy hatching.
Why are -turkeys generally consider-
ed difficult to raise? Chiefly because
those who embark in the venture aro
hampered by their knowledge of the
habits of chickens. The similarity of
young fowls to turkeys is merely
superficial, On vital points they dif-
fer radically. Turkeys are VoraeioUS,
without a chicken's ability to assimi-
late great quantities. They require a
certain amount of exercise as an aid to
digestion yet UM inuck runuiog wear-
ies them to the point of ealmustion.
Little ones confined lack sufficient
roughage (melted by green food, such
as clover, alfalaa, rape, etc.) with sad
coesequenees, unless generous provis-
ion is made in each meal. Their rapid
feather diallis their vitality heavily.
Witness the dragging wings of weak,
eight-day turkeys. Already they are
lagging in the race.
Ventilation is a vital necessity, but
draughts on tux'keys court trouble.
Soured food -which a chicken might
eat4awith impunity works , havoc with
their digestion. In short, to rear them
with a raeasere of Success one must
studiously avoid offending their hab-
Its with whicla by observation we MaY
easily become acquainted. Failure
with turkeys, aside from mishaps,
springs from the attempt to force
them to ceziferm to an unnatural regi -
teen.
There are diets a -plenty, The chief
difficult); is in selecting,a diet easily
and cheaply prepared, dnd beset waited
to their needs. The list is diverse and
lerigthy:
Meal and bran mash.
Meal and middlings mash.
Chieltfeed.
Curd.
Boiled wheat.
Boiled rice.
Baked cornbread.
Rolled oats. ' •
Bread crumbs seated in milk.
Whatever is used in •the way of a
cereal, ehopped gre,en food, such as
onions, garlic; (wild enione), lettuce
or ,fennel, should predominate. This
lessens danger of digestive disturbance.
Head boiled eggs is the factor common
to all diets. Mashes are excellent, but
.require the exercise of good judgment
in the'quentity given. • If the last par-
ticle.is not eaten at night, it is apt to
sour by morning, and trouble ensues.
The best ale tOund feed .for young ones
after the first week is a good chick -
feed with cheep& onion tops, hard-'
boiled egg and curd if available. Chick_
feed canna fermet unless it.becomes

laet given occasionally to' counteract
any tendency to diarrhoea. •
Every farm presents its own prob-
lem as to the proper place for tile
turkey coop,. A well -drained spot In a
wbea,t field or pasture is ideal. The
growing wheat affords a rich pastur-
age for the young turkeys. They
May even lade thero from the wily
hawk. When it is cut the scattered
grain reinforces their diet. At all
times it shelters a plentiful supply
of insect food. Best of all, the ground
is newly turned and lest apt to harbor
lisease germs.
If the farm woman must count her
fcotsteps she may set her coops near
ae, band on ground lately plowed, yet
separate from ehickens. A small patch
of rape may be pleated :where the litteo
opes raay run. Tear are particularly
fend of this, which will supply a por-
tion of their green food.
Nothing affects turkey health mere
subtly or fatally than parasites. When
the tittle ones droop Or sicken without
visible cause, search for vermin. Be
satisfied only with closest scruttey.
After 'some years ef 'experienee with
turkeys, I find that these are respon-
sible for my greatest losses; Mae
they come from is the enigma. From
bad alisoelations, from neighboring
fowls, from birds or from sparrowe
who steal their food—some lefty de-
spite care, they often become infeeted.
Eternal vigilance is the watchword.
For alive that infest the head, anoint-
ing with oneshalf cupful milt grease
mixed with one teaspoonful kerosene
is excellent. For others a plentiful
use et insect powder is sufficient. If
turkeys are allowed loeg to be infested

DRUGGISTS FLOURISH,
How the Business is Run in the
South American Repub1100.
Latin Americans are great aellevere
in medicines and, due to the scarcity
of Physicians, are obliged to "doctor"
themselves. Pharmacy is consequent-
ly profitable. With the exception of
modern Europe, Canada and the talk-
ed States pharmacy is practiced in
other lands of the world much as it
was in the United Slates seventy-five
or a hundred years ago, and thie is
particularly true of the republics te
the south of ae.
The individual druggist makes his
own pills, extracts, tinetures, infusions
and pulverizes his own crude drugs.
Soda water fountains are few. The
meal rubber goods, toilet articles,
sone, perfumes, Instruments and nun-
driee are cai•ried.
Each druggist makes a line of his
own specialties, which he pushes. In
addition ti the standard drugs and
meilielnes, he also carries remedies

through the nostril—send it into the
passages that are subject to colds and

through the bronchial tubes, nostrils

THIS PLANT IS A THIEF.
Dodder Steals All the Digested
Food of Its Clover Neighbors.
Possibly he's too lazy to feed hiin-
telt or it may be that he came from
a family of criminals and ean't over-
eome his heredity. At any rate he's
ta, robber,'• a thief and a plunderer.
None of these names is too eevere,
and if You doubt it ask the farmer
who knows him for the . damage he
does every year tie the clover and al-
falfa ,crops. The plant is the dod-
der.
Perhaps we can forgive the dodder
for not preparing for his own feed,
for he bas nothing to prepare it with.
Nearly all plants have chlorophyll,
the silbstance whieli makes plants
green and digeste the food watch they
take from the ground and the ale. Tile
dodder has no. chleropayll.
So it has to turn robber to lase,
After the teed springs front the

self to the Clover stein by its oily

for Mere victims, binding them to-

DEATHWATCH BEETLES.
Their Uncanny Ticking and Their
Trick of Playing Dead.
You've probably heard the death-
watch beetle oftener than you've seen
him. He hides away in furniture or
interior wood -work and keeps up a
continual "tick -tick -tick" like a
watch. Day or night you'll hear
him pounding away. He's eternally
persistent ttbout it and ghostlike and
uncanny, hence his name.
He makes the little ticking noise
svith, his head, pounding it on the
wood. It's the way he nee of calling
hie, mate, and his mate answers him
itt turn. lt you pound on the wood
where he is hiding he'll answer you
just like he does his mate.
You may wonder how he finds his
way insiele a piece of furniture, He
get,s there when he's in the grub or
larva state, boring .his way through
wood; paper, or anything the grub can
eat. The larva whieh eats its way
through the Leaves of a book is a
cousin.
The deathwatch beetle has another
trick besides that one of calling his
mate by pounding his head on wood.
When you. touch 'one of the little
creatures he folds his legs up be-
neath his betty and makes believe he
Is dead. He will keep on playing
possum even if you put him close en-
ough to a fire to roast hine—Phila-

As Is usual in panics, the fear be-
came contagious, and hundreds wits:
had laughed at the prediction a week
before packed up their goods wed
chattels when they saw others doing
so and hastened away. The river
was thought to be a place of great se-
curity, and accordingly all the avail-
able inerche,nt vessels and barges
were peeked with peopae, who passed
the night between the 4th and 6th on
board, expecting every moment to see
St. Paul's totter and the towers of
Westminster Abbey rock and fall
amid a cloud of dust. But on the
following day the greater part of the
fugitives returned, convinced that the
prophecy was a falsa one, A few
months efterWard Bell aws cosigned
in a lunatic asylum, where he died.
Great consternatioe was caused in
London fn 1524 by a prediction that
on the lst day of February the wat-
ers of the Thames would overflow tho
whole city of London and wash away
10,000 houses. The prophecy was im-
plicitly believed, and `many feel:Wee
packed up their mats and 'removed
into -Kept and Essex. , As the time
drew near the numbers of these lea-
migmnte increased. Ie January
droves of workmen imght bes seen,
followed by their wives end children,
trildging on foot to the villages with-
in fifteen or twenty miles to aWait
the catastrophe. People of a higaer
class were also to be seen in vehicles
bound on a shutter errand.
By the middle of January at least
20,000 persons had quitted the doom-
ed city, leaving nothing but the bare
walls of their homes to be swept
away by tho impending floods. Many

abbey on the north and Croydon on
the south of the Thames.
On the fateful morning the wonder-
ing crowds were astir at an early hour
to watch the rising of the waters. It
vv•as predicted that the inundation
Would be gradual, not sudden, so that
they expected to heve plenty of time
•to escape os soon as they saw the wa-
ters rise beyond the usual mark.
The day grew older, and the
Thames flew on quietly as of yore.
The tide ebbed at its usual hour, flow-
ed to its usual height and then ebbed
again, just as if twenty astrologers
had not pledged their word to the
contrary.
Blank were their faces as evening
approached, and as blank grew the
faces of the citizens to think that
they had made such fools of them-
selves. Night set in, and the obsti-
nate river would not lift its waters
to sweep away even one home out of
the 10,000. Still, hosvever, the people
were afraid to go to sleep. Many hun-
dreds remained up till dawn of the
next day, lest the deluge should come
upon them like a thief in the night.
On the morrow it was seriously dis-
cused whether it would not be advis-
able to duck the false prophets in the
river, Luckily for thein they thought
of an, expedieot which allayed the
popular fury. They aeserted that by
en eitor they had fixed the date of
this awful inundation a century too
early. The present generation of
cockneys were safe and London wotild
be washed away, not in 1524, but In

Postmen have a very respectable
mitirmity. They were known, the
Sunday at Homo points out, in the
far-off days of King Hezeiciah 's reign,
some 700 years befofe Christ. In the
thirtieth chapter of the second book of
Chronicles we read that "the posts
went with the letters throughout all
Israel and Judah," and, further. that
"the pests passed from city to city
