Farm Notes.
—July and August are the months
when weeds epring up on every avail
able space, and the danger is that the
effects for their destruction may be re-
laxed as soon as the crops are well
started. Too much dependence is
placed on the crop to keep down the
weeds, and it does happen that a thrifty
and quick-growing crop will give weeds
but a emall chance to live, but there
are so many kinds of weeds that is it
difficult to escape them, as the condi-
tions that are unsuitable for some kinds
are very favorably for others. There
are farmers who follow a regular rou-
tine of work. They cultivate their cor
a certain number of times, giving i
two or three ‘‘workings’” unti
“laid by,” and will not g the field
again with .a cultivator-under any cir-
cumstances. It igon such farms that
the stocks of weeds are propagated,
from which Seeds are scattered over the
ad’ )injng farme. It should be instilled
in,s the minds of such farmers that
ere 18 no time for ‘laying by” the
~~" corn if there are even but a few weeds
among the rows. A single weed left
standing may cause a thousand to
epring up next season.
WHERE THE WEEDS COME FROM.
The seeds of most of the weed fam-
ily retain their vitality for years, and
if buried this year by the plow may be
brought to the surface when the land
is again plowed. The vacant lots of
cities and towns coutribute largely to
the supply of weeds, the light seeds not
only being carried to great distances
by the winds, but also by the tops of
the railroad cars, which distribute
them hundreds of miles along the rail-
roads. The seeds of vegetables, and of
wheat, clover and grass, purchased
and brought on the farm, too frequent-
ly contain the seeds of weeds, because
it is impossible to detect them or re-
move them from the seeds intended
tor crops. The manure heap is also a
receptacle for matured weeds, the seeds
being distributed over the fields when
spreading manure, and the fence corn-
ers and other locations contribute their
share in keeping the farmer busy the
greater portion of the growing season
in the effort of destroying weeds and
saving his crops.
INDIVIDUAL EFFORT INSUFFICIENT.
In all communities will be found at
least one or two farmers less progres:
give than their neighbors, who will not
completely destroy weeds, and if they
damaged none, but themselves, all
would be well. but they entail hun:
dreds ot dollars loss on others and
make farming a very disagreeable oc-
cupation to some. Laws would, no
doubt, prevent this condition of affairs
to some extent if properly enforced, but
the most reliance should be placed on
organized effort for the complete des.
truction of weede. Nearly all ot the
familiar weeds are annuals, and can be
kept down and exterminated in a year
or two it they are destroyed when
young, and in many cases, where the
mower can be used, the work is easy.
The most profitable plan is to grow
crops that require the hoe, harrow and
cultivator, and not to omit cultivation
until the land is entirely free of weeds,
at the same time rooting out of weeds
growing on locations upon which the
cultivator cannot be used.
—Many farmers who use fertilizers
content themselves by procuring phos-
phates. While'the phosphates are ex-
cellent, yet they do not give the best
results when used alone. Fertilizers
should aleo contain nitrogen and pot-
ash, the proportions varying sccord-
ing to the demands of the soil. Land
that has produced a crop ot clover, and
the sod turned under, williproduce good
crops if phosphate and potash are used,
as the clover roots supply the needed
nitrogen. No formula for a fertilizer
* can be given for all soils. Farmers can
only learn what their soils require by
experimenting to some extene.
—Dr. Alfred L. Kennedy, the emi-
nent scientist and agriculturist, states
that he does not regard the matter of
exterminating the Canada thistle as a
difficult undertaking. He bought a
farm that was overrun with thistles
and planted the ground to potatoes,
keeping the land well cultivated, so as
not to permit the weeds to grow. The
result was but very few weeds the next
year, which were destroyed very easily.
The potatoes will pay for the labor of
exterminating the weeds.
— If there is more in the garden than
can be used do not allow: waste to oc-
cur, but store as many vegetables away
for winter as possible. All kinds of
small fruits can be canned, and toma.
toes will afford work to some of the
members of the family in peeling and
preparing them for the cans. Sweet
corn, peas, lima beans and string beans
may be canned, and a large supply of
pickles can be put up from cucumbers,
onions, cauliflower, etc.
—A curious behavior of crimson
clover last fall was that it did well on
some plots and refused to make a stand
on others. This is due to the time of
planting, Some sowed the seed as late
as September, which did not allow the
young plants. a sufficient length of
time to grow before winter. Those
who did not succeed should try the
experiment this year of getting the
seed in not later than August 10.
—It will pay to pull weeds out of
strawberry rows by hand. It is a cost-
ly mode of exterminating weeds, but
there is no other way of getting them
out among the plants in the rows. It
is better to do this than to allow them
to go to seed, which will multiply the
labor of removing them next epring |
ten-fold.
—The early cabbage will be greatly
benefited by hoeing or cultivating them
frequently, as cabbages always thrive
when the ground is often stirred. Such
work gives the best results when per-
ba just after & rain.

Husband and Wife Went Crazy To-
gether.
BroomssBure, Pa., July 9.—The
transfer of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Coles,
of Fishiug Creek township, this coun-
ty, to the Danville asylum for the in-
sane brings to light a etrange story.
Coles was a miller, whose financial r
a suddenly developed. iGlent fit, Col
threatened to kill his wife. This turn-
ed her mind-completely, a
some of the neighbors t
jail for safe keepin ers watched
over the insane wife. They were taken
to the asylum ori the same train.
——Bishop Potter, of New York,
instead of going to Saratogd or Newport
this summer to increase his stock of vi-
tal religion, proposes to do so by taking
up his residence in the slum district of
the city during the heated season. The’
square mile in the center of ;which Bish-
op Potter will take up his quarters
contains more than 350,000 people, and
is said to be the most densely populated
square mile in the world. One block
opposite the mission is crowded at the
rate of a million of persons to the square
mile. Bishop Potter proposes for him-
self four nf of active work here, and
thus set an example to his subordinates
throughout the city. There is probably
as much wickedness per capita in the
summer resorts, but not nearly so much
Will Make Lamps.
A New Glass Company to Be Esta. hed at
Washington.
WasHINGTON, Pa., July 10.—A com-
pany of Pittsburg capitalists, with a
capital stock of $75,000, will in a few
daye apply for a charter tor the opera-
tion of a big glass plant here. The
company is interested in the North
Washington industrial movement, and
will have the works in operation by
September 1. About 250 men will be
employed, many of whom will be
brought from Wheeling. The pro-
ducts will be high-grade lamps, electric
light bulbe and other electrical sup-
plies.
A Good Word for the Crow.
The department of agriculture at
Washington hasjcome out in defense of
the crow, as an insectiverous bird, and
denounces the crow catchers. In are
cent report farmers are cautioned from
waging a general war of extermination
of crows and blackbirds. While at
times they do injure crops, their depre-
dations, according to the department,
can usually be prevented. On the oth-
er hand, they do incalculable good by
destroying insects. The grain eaten by
them under ordinary circumstances
does not cause serious loss, as much of it
consists of scattered or waste ker-
nels.
Reason on This.
You would call a man a fool to try to
run an engine with a crooked piston-
rod. Yet you are attempting that
when you live with your system in a
disordered condition. Whatever you
may be mentally, you are physically a
machine. Nothing interests you more
than keeping it in order. If your di-
gestion is out of condition, or your kid-
neys are disordered, use Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy, a medicine
prepared by a famous physician, and en-
dorsed by thousands of persons.

Buzzarp's Bay, Mass., July 7.—At
