No weeds can thrive If kept down. Some are annuals, coming from seeds and every seed that germinates ends that particular plant If the farmers will but stir the soil when such weeds are lu their first stages of growth. Kven the Canada thlutle, oousldered oue of the most persist ent pests known to farmers, though growing from both seeds and roots, can be destroyed U the attempt te do so U made with effort and deter mination. Known as tho Canada thistle, the weed to really a native of Europe, being early Introduced Into Canada and spreading Into every portion of the Unltod States. Experi ments made at the Idaho station show that It Is not as difficult to get rid ot them as has been supposed, although laws passed for Its destruct ion by several States have been of no avail. It spreads slowly compared with some woods, duo principally to lack of fortuity In tho floods, most of the seeds being light, only the heavy ones germinating, and they are not carried far. Hut Its progress by means of long white root stocks is rnpld a largo field being covered lu that manner In a few years, aud It then assumes n strong hold on the soil. It Is a perennial, with slender stems, tho leaves being prickly, the heads congregated on the top of the stem, while the flowers are tobo pur. plo. It may be carrlod front ono point to another In hay, on tho tops of freight cars or by vurlons other modes. Salt or kerosene, applied after the clump of thistles Is cut down will destroy them, but such method Is Blow and costly where tho Held Is In possession of tho pest. Many other methods havo been suggested CANADA THISTLE. for their ampliation. A piece of root stock an inch long if left lu the soil will make a foundation for a new crop. A piece two inches long will grow eight or ten feet lu six months and weigh three or four pounds, and from each small piece from 10 to 60 heads will grow. An old rule Is to "plow the land In June, drag twicd In July, plow two or three Inches deep two or three times In August and hurrow each time." Any tool thut will cut off the tops in August or early in September, will destroy them, as they cannot live if the tops are cut down. Experiments mude at the Illinois station succeeded in com plotoly exterminating them by ob serving the following rules: 1. Cut the thistles when In full bloom, as cluse to the ground as possible, and then plow three inches deep, sowing millet or Hungarian grass, seeding heavily, sad then harrow. 2. In September plow the millet under and then seei heavily with rye. Plow the rye tusder lu May and again suej te miUet or Hungarian grass (or plant a hoe crop, such as cabbages or petatoes). 3. Continue the close ouJtlvallun, being careful to keep the woods cut down from July until frost. If frost Is not here too soon the con stant cutting down of the thistles as fast us they appear will greatly re duce their number or exterminate thorn. Not only should every thistle that appears be cut dovtu as fust as it shows abovo ground but the road sUus must be watched and kept clean and also the fence corners. .Mobt farmers object to losing the use of tholr land tor a year while destroy ing thistles ,and they cotutuutly trow crops on the laud until the thistles get ahead. By Judlulou selection of crops the use of the laud need not be lost, By sowing rye lu the full, cultivating peus, onions, early cab bage or early potatoes tor next spring and then follow the pe&s with late cabbage or late potatoes, with the growing of turnips as a lute crop, using the hoe or wheeVhoe so as not to allow a sprig ot grass or wood of any kind to appear, the laud will be kept olaan, good crops obtained and the thistles destroyed In two sin sons. One of the most progressive farmers la Pennsylvania destroyed the thistles on a piece ot laud thut had been abandoned by a previous owner by growing late potatoes thereon for two seasons, the work required during the second year be ing only one-fourth tho cost of the first year, and he also made a prom on the potato crop. Crops that do mand clean cultivation should alwu.vr be grown on thistle land aa the most Inexpensive mode ot getting rid ot such pests. ffc TUEY AUK Ai AY A I'M I A HUIUXT. The Most Noticeable Characteristic ot the American People, "Tho average American Is a person who wants to get somewhere by the most direct method and as quickly as possible," said Krnost Moore of Lon don to the Washington Post reporter. "That, I think. Is the principal dis tinction between the American and the Englishman," he continued. "The Britisher will go urouud the block lnorder to gut somewhere and notice the scenes of Interest along the way, but you people want to cut right through the block and think of no- I thing else but what you are going aXler. everything Is direct, whutbwr It be lu busLuuss, politics, or social 1 affairs. Tor Instance, 1 J make a proposition to an American business man ho asks but one question, and when he gota the answer, IX he In tends to accept it, he Imme diately suys so; and It ho does nut Intend to od so, he replies that he will think about the matter. He says he will think about it In order not to hurt your fuullugs ' with a refusal. In England a muu may have to wait a month to ascer tain whether his proposition has been . accepted or rejected. I "This Is to be commended, but I doubt whether tho tendency to ox ' aggeratiou lu everything in this couu j try Is so commendable. The other ; day I picked up a paper and read lu big headlines that the naval review at Jumcstown was the greatest dis . play of ships In all the history of the world. The statement was rldlcu- lous. I was there and saw the ro ! vlow and muBt say that I have seen ' far finer and larger displays off Splt I head, England. "This exaggeration pertains to ' everything American. You are so much Interested In yourselves iiud I what you ai-o doing that you know little about England. You think that j Englishmen have no sense of humor. Americans never made a greater mls take. We don't laugh at everything, but we enjoy u good Joke or a ludi crous situation Just us much as any body. And you Americans say we are plg-headod. Tho truth Is, that you Americans aro more pig-headed than we are. When you get un Idea lu your head nothing can swerve you from It. It is that plg-headedness that makes tho Anglo-Saxon race what It Is; It Is sure of itself. To show how insular you are here, an American woman, upon learning that I was engaged to be married, said a day or two ago that she was glad I had mingled with American men In order that I might see how they treated women. "In my opinion, America is lacking In great permanont national ideals. You haven't found yourselves yet. When you do, you will become a great nation."

In a number of counties lying on both sides of tho Snrramento lllver, In the central portion of California, overy winter by tho depredations of count loss flocks of wild geese, which swerm over tho broad grain fields destroy tho young, sprouting gruln stslks. Indeed, no serious has this annual invasion become that nearly all the largo farms havo employees who regularly patrol tho fields nnd do nothing but ko'jp the feathered pusts on the wing. Ouo of tho most novel blinds of Stalkers over used In that section, or any other, for tho purpose of destroy ing the geese, Is that of a Colusa far mer who lives on the bank ot the Sacramento. Ho has a bis red steer which ho has trained to stalk gootio.

Amonn Interesting native Indus tries which tend to disappear with tho advanee of civilization is the making of "bark cloth" in Afrlea from the bark of tho brachystegla tree, which grows In Uganda, and in parts of IJrltlsli, German and Portu cuesa Ear.t Africa. The natives strlu tho bark from trees about two feet In diameter and pound It with stones, at the same tlmo pulling It In the direction of tho floor. It la mado In sheets averaging kIx by ten feet In size. Tho cloth does not possess much strength, and the manuTacturo of It Is rapidly coaBlnrf with tho Increased use of cotton cloth. Danish Table Manners. A pretty table observance In Danish families la for children, even little oneii who can Rcarcely toddlo, to go gravely after dinner to salute tholr parents and say, "Tak for mad" ("Thanks for the meal"). Even visitors shako hands with their hosts and hostess and go through tho same formality. In German famllios that hold to tradition the same custom prevails.
