until the fleet .blossoms appear, about
June 1, or until there is danger of

Follow this treatment during' the sec-

Partial Fallow -For grain fields or
old meadows, •cut the crop early for
hay, if necessary, to prevent thistles
from seeding. Allow thistles to grow
• for from four to six days; then plow,
and proceed els in first method for

the best crop. Have ground clean be-

hoes. Keep sweeps sharp and culti-
vate frequently. H-oe the corn after
laying by, and cultivate the ground
after harvest with a disk harrow until

Hoeing: and CuttAng-Best method
for small patches. Stake out the patch
and visit it regularly with a sharp hoe
or ecythe at least twice a week.
Chemicals -There is no- cheirtical
that in reasonable quantities will kill
thistles with one application, unless
applied directly to the cut root. Foe
spraying use sodium arsenite (a vio-
lent poison), two pounds in ten gal-
lons of water; common salt, opo poundi
in one and .one-half quarts of water;
or crude carbolic acid, diluted one-half,
If animals are salted on a small patch
of thistles, the thistles will finally
disappear. Frequent spraying of the
thistles with the above chemicals may
be used instead of tutting, in rocky
ore:RI-ter inconvenienb places.
Misce/1aneous-S1149 will some-
times graze thistles to death if forced
to do so. Smell patches of thistles
may be smothered by 'covering with
overlapping strips of tar paper or
building paper, weighting, down the
laps with earth and leaving the paper
on for eight or ten weeke during het
weather. A coatina of straw ,pr ma-
nure one foot or more in depth will

Money In Weete Grain.
lehme ,years ogo, an Ioova farmer,
who was raised in Cenado, hogght a
roe -down etorm in Kmisos and wept to,
work to make it int a profitable
wheat-Troclucing, land. Last yeas hie
wheat mode forty-two buthels to the
acre, while the next best emceed in.
the' emenetinity was • only tevente-two
buthels,
Loathed of living on his form, he
rented it te a Kansas men ten shares,
and when thtealring time- came, the
owner went -down to look over thieve.
-• "The first thing they did," he said,
"was to temp d -own a whole ewath
with the reaper elem., amend most of
the fields before they -started to- cut,
the groin. 1 Canada we eiwayminow-
ee a ghep around the field' with a
cradle before we atterted the meanie a
asleed the tenant Why he didn't cradle
eedges before goieg an with- his
reaper.
' "He only looked at me blankly. He
had. never seen a cradle. He argued
that, vaille I might save some grain,
that when I figured in my time I
wouldn't make anything by it. So I
had to let him go •on and trample down
the grain, - -
"At•noon'while the men were eating
dinner, I took a team and went into
the fields that had been afashed. I
raked up all that had been dropped and
missed; which was not one bit more
than is dropped or ,miesed on the a•ver-
age American farm. I took a scythe
and cut the grain that had been left
standing in the eorners and around
the edges. Then'I took a hay -rake and
raked it up, • •
"I staaced all tbe grain sepgrate
that I had .collected in this way, and
after all the threshiag waS one, we
threshed out tbis grain, because I
wanted to see to a ceetainty jut how
much I -would get for my trouble.
"Well, do you koow, I got enough
wheat to pay all my threshing eapens-
es anti my pereonel expenses ;from
TOWEL to Kansas and back agaen? The
effect of that demonstretionewas that
the others in the vicinity sent nway
arid bought cradles and are now using
them before they send he their reap -
ms. They mem 'dreamed that each
a little bit really made such a big
difference."
Another farmer told me last sum-
mer that he saved from 0118 to three
per cent. of his crop by clean Lamest-
ing and threshing. That means that
he was adding from one to three
bushels to every 100 he threshed,
When you think of that saving in
terms of the market price of such
grain, you begin to realize why this
pareicular noan had such clean stacks,
such fine bulletins and fences.
• "It is just as easy to take things
clean as you go, as to be slovenly and
Cashed about it," he said "We don't
hurry when eve are cutting the grain
or loading it on the racks. We take
our time, and that means that we take
everything clean." .
I walked across his wheat stubble
and I would be willing to double all
the waist green that any one could pick
up -even at present pvices-on all his
100 acres of small grain, for I know
that it wouldn't take ten cents to do it!
These wheat growers are clean
inervestere. One of them told me that
he sent the beets into the fields with
cradles and scythes An advance of the
reapers to take out the grain ih the
sharp corners and along the fence
rows..
"They get it out before the teams
have a chance to tramp it down, It
isn't 'much trouble and the boys like
to do it, because I give them half of
what their stack threshes for doing it.
I got enough out of my share last
year to pay threshing expenses,"
Where threshing can net be done
immediately you will find that these
farmers (invariably stack their grain,

In the poultry business it is the man
who sells the goods that makes the
money. Therefore every poultryman
must try to producelquality stock so
that the other man will be anxious to

A great many people appear to
think that the teaching of agriculture

teaching "farming," so called. There
could be no greater mistake. The mis-
understanding Iles in the limited con-
ception of what constitutes a good
farmer or what is implied in g•ood
farming. Agriculture is a science;
farming is an art. The successful
