Killing Weeds With Brains
By Mrs. E.
• If only a "Saint Patriek" would
banish the weeds! It takes many ef-
forts, long continued and well direct-
ed, 'even to control 'them, much less
exterminate them, and perhaps, on
second thought, we would not be quite
willing to banish theni from the face
of the earth. Many of them are so
lovely that if they were rare they
would be almost priceless, as for
in-
stance, the Mexican poppy, or Queen
Anne's Lace, with its delicate, lacy
white-- flowers. •
But if you give them at inch, they'll
take an ell. As a clan, weeds have a
long black list against them. They
rob the soil, thus defeating the very
end for which the farmer etieves-
.that of giving his crop plants the very
best possible 'chance to snake good
growth. They retard the work of
harvesting. They inerease the labor
of cleaning the seed at threshing -time.
Some of them injure etoelc, as for ex-
ample, theneedle-grass, squirrel -tail
grass, °tea, the awns of.which get into
the gums and nostrils and even into

eating. Some weeds, sueli as hemlock, i
loco and many others, poison stock,'
thils causing Serio'uS /oss of time and

are laid at their door, and few are the
good qualities with which to offset
them. •

danger of leaf burning can be' re-
duced•by using alittle more lime, by

tion. • Calcium arsenate is a com-
paratively new ineecticide which can
be used the same way ae lead arsenate.
CONTACT DESTROYERS. ,
• Contact insecticides are used for 111-
gects having suckingt mouth parts.
They killthe insects by the material
actually getting on the insect anch car-
roding its tissues or by strangling it.
The most common of these insects are
the aphids or plant lice and the squash
bug. . Insecticides of this class are
soap solutions, keroserie emulsion, and
tobacco decoctions. - The kerosene
emelsion is made by dissolving one-
half pound of soap in 1 gallon of hot
water then mixing with this 2 gallons
of kerosene till the whole is thorough-
ly ennilsified. This stock solution, is
then 'dilated from 15 to 20 tiraes. A

market which are very, effective arid

• WEED SEEDS, LIVE kANY YEARit.
But, you object, I don't let t'he
weeds grow all eurnmer long ass -
where 00 on my farin. always mow
them off once anyway!' Yes, but
once isn't enough. And what de you
do with the cuttings? To mow after
plants have begun' to blooxn and let
the. cuttings lie where they fall is
evidence of the lack of thoroughness
for which this plea is made.
. ,
In the first place, plants often begin
to bloom, and therefore mature „seed,
long before most people' suppose; and
in .the second place, after they have
once started- blooming, many plants
have sufficient vitality to ripen at
/east part of their seeds even after
the plants have been mowed or chop-
ped off; as witness the'
Seeds of these chopped off plants fall

them up carefully, apparently prepar-

and bear seed. . 'Sometimes these

heet the seeds enough to kill them.
If this is done, their mischief is ended.
' The stubble of annual weeds can be
plowed under; also inaey seedlings in
spring and fall' can be killed, this
way. Plants called perennials must
be treated differently. If you don't
know what your plants are, dig up
some 02 each kind, taking the entire
plant including blossoms or seeds, and
send them to the Experhneetal Farm
to be named, and ask for special di-
rections if any ere needed. ,In other

Well if troubled' with lice I have

The mixture is: one pelt Persian in-

for this mixtuee, that he keeps it

' CONTROLLING cur worms
Cut worms, wire worms, white
grubs and stalk borers give frequent
trouble. All of these are controlled'
th seine eiteet by fall plowing and
the destructiOn of all garden, rebbieh
and weeds. Cut worms can be killed
with poieoned bran mash, made in the ,
proportion of 4 quart of bran, 1 tha-
spoonful Of Paris,green, 1 tablespoon-
ful of molasses and enough water th
moisten. lhfs nsixture shoudh '
be, nattered along the rows 'or near;
the plants. When this .is used, ell
mfultry 812:puld be ,kept away fedin the.
garden. When stalk borers are found,
in a garden,' the best thing to do is
th destroy the attacked plapts es soon
as they are noticed' and to be sure'
and clean out and destroy all weeds
and plant remains in fall.
Most vegetable diseases can be con-
trolled by proper .preveetative mea-
sures previously enumerated for the
control of Insects, especially by crop
eotation and „rabbi -ell disposal. For
some diseaees as leaf blight, forms of
which attack cucumber, tomatoes and
potetoes, Bordeaux miXture is a good
remedy.
• Bordeaux mixture is made by dis-
eolving 4 pounds of copper. sulphate in
4 gallops of water, slacking 4 pounde
of stone lime and adding, enough
water to make 4 gallons, When need-
ed, add enough water to each solution
to' make 26 gallon's and mix the two
solutions. This should be applied im-
mediately as it deteriorates rapidly.
It is important always to have a little
more lime in the solution than copper
to prevent foliage injury. An excess
of copper can be detected by dipping
a clean knife blade into''the mixture,.
II in excess, a coating of copper will
be precipitated on the knife blade. An
excess of lime can be detected by blow-
ing one's breath over sozne of the mix-
ture in a porcelain cup, in which ease
a thin scum will be formed on the
surface of the water. Atter the plants
are badly diseased, spraying will help
very little, but if a garden or locality
is troubled with one of these diseases,
it can be held in check by proper pre-
ventative spraying.
Preparing Lambs for the
Top Price.
In the annual review of the live
sthcic merket and meat trade situa-
tion for 1922, officials of the Federal
„,Live Stock. Branch point out that a
noticeable feature 'of -the lamb market
was the absence of docked or castrated
lambs. Whenever, an odd load of
docked and castrated lambs was of-
fered for sale, the price realized was
well above that of ordinary lambs and
they were always the object of keen
competition. These' statements were
made snore particularly with refer:
ence to the Toronto market, which is
supplied .from the bannerlive stock
ptovince of the Dominion.
In the bulletin "Sheep Husbandry
in Canada," the author quotes the
views of sheep buyers who state that
the neglect of castration is the most
prominent defect in the sheep raising

PRIDE AND PUSH
One evening recently, es we return
ed from work, our five-year-old -gir
came rupning with a basket whicl
she had coMpleted at school. It Was
shapely, neat, and the colors were ar-
ranged harmoniously. Th,-' teacher
had spoken well of this piece of work.
.
P80' e giri was oslO absorbed
what elle had accomplished. She cer- •
thinly took pride 'in thie iittie basket.
}ler heart was full of enthusiasm arid
her eyes eparkled as she explained
the merits of her product and re-
heareed what the teacher had said
about it,• '
The very next day she was able to
bring horne another basket vehicle had
even greater merit than the one of
the day preceding. It wee her com-
plete devetion and pride in her work
that enabled her to do each day a lit-
tle better, than ehe had dene the day
before. •
Now, pride in ourselves is almost
certain to lead to snobbishness, but
pride in our work furnishes a way- th
better things. When we become' so
absorbed in the things we are doing
that we throw our very soul intt, our
efforts, we are then On the only sure
way toward gaining better things en
the morrow., Whether we be master
or servant, leader or follower, we
need to , be convinced thoroughly
that °Ili -task is worthy of our time
and energy. -
To -day, there is a weeding-oute pro-
cess going on in rural nonlIntinitiOS.
Those who take no pride 80 farming
and look upon it as a means merely
of making a little money, are now
leaving for the bright lights. While
those who are devoted to agriculture
Who fee7 that it is a xeal worth -while
part of our nation's business are
sticking. The hope of -farming lies
with the group who take pride in till-
ing their fields and who eeel thee it is
a dignified occupation.
The Fanner's Paint Pail
Ready -mixed paints save money for
the farmer who knows how.to use
them. • Most farms ha'le' buildings
which need a touch of paint every
season. • The house, the garage the
ice -house, the granary, the big barn
or the Wagon aiouse-all call -for their
share, of attention, it is' well to ar-
range it so that not all of these- will
come due to be painted the same year,
thus dividing up the expense.
-Brushes are high now. We have
the bill for one fiat bruSh- that am-
ounts to $2,75: For that reason it
pays to take care of brushes. It is
easy to leave a brueh all soaked with
paint until it hardens and is spoiled.
Thousands of dollars are wasted that
way every year. As soon as a braili
is out of its job, it ought to be wash-
ed with soap and soft water. When
leaving brushes overnight, let thein
hang in linseed oil,
Why They Go.'
- The farm family as we knew it as'
boys 'differs from the modern farm
family of to -day. In the old days with
ten or a dozen children growing up on
eyery farm there was little end of.
immigration -the needs were largely
taken care of by natural increase. It
is different to -day. T.he children in
the modern farm home are frequently
not abundant enough to replace the
father and mother. Under present
conditions ,the farm population is on
the decline, Overwoelt, necessitated
by the lack of sufficient help on the
farms, has driven more boys teem

than „ any ,other cause. With work
