An eye-witness of Count von Zep-

Srtassburg has sent to the IL.ondon
Times an account of his impressions.
“The chief impressions has left
op my mind,” he says, “are the ter-

trustworthiness—ther is no other
word—of her bearing.” Tennyson
in his vision “heard the heavens fill
with shouting,” but that was the
shout .of battle. The noise of one of
these airships—not speak of a
fleet of them—is something quite ter-
rible. "Tne Strassburg observer heard
von Zeppelin's airship when she was

the “shriek of her screw” was audi

Old Age Is inevitable.

ported by the studics of Prof. H.
Ribbert, director of the pathological

atrophy of the nerve cells, and these
changes are an inevitable result of the
physico-chemical course of living
matter. No proof of special effect
of diet is obtainable. The most care-
ful inquiry shows the meat eater as
likely to become a centenarian as the
vegetarian, and the use of tobaceo or
alcohol signifies little. The chief
factor in long life appear to be de-
scent from long lived stock and the
accident of favorable living condi-
tions.

Growing Cabbage For the Family.
The man who finds it ‘‘cheaper to
buy vegetables than to raise them”
usually does without. The garden
for family use is one of the economies
as well as luxuries of farm life which
we cannot afford to dispense with,
and a little work with the team read-
s things so that a woman of
average health will find it easier and
more healthful to do the rest than to
do the extra baking which lack of
variety in vegetables requires.
Cabbage is considered an especially
hard vegetable to grow, ‘‘a woman's
back being entirely unfitted for hoe-
ing.”” Granted, but it is not neces-
sary to do any hard hoeing. She can
do all the hand work necessary and
gain strength by it. It will bring her
out into the fresh air, the communion
with birds and blossoms, the rest
from pétty vexations of the kitchen.
She can’t care for a thousand or two
head for market; it is not her place
to try it, but she can do the hand
work in a patch large -enough for
iamily use.

Soil for cabbage can scarcely be
made too rich. Newly plowed soil
well fertilized with barnyard manure
or poultry droppings is excellent, and
not likely to be infested with elub
root. Good garden soil, or any light
soil properly enriched, promises a
good return. Topdress before plow-
ing. Fertilize additionally in . the

weekly cleanings from the poultry

this condition give the worms small

amine the bags every few days and
if there are any damp or soft places,
pick off the unsound fruit.
Second-—Allow the grapes to hang
on vines as long as possible without
freezing. Gather them on a cool,
dry day, without touching the fruit,
handling it entirely by the stems.
This is to avoid bruising it. In cut-
ting leave the stem as long as pc
ble. Pick over carefully, rejecting
all soft or imperfect bunches. Pack
on the same day they are gathered.
Provide large pasteboard boxes with-
out a break, or new wooden cheese
botes; which ever kind is used must
have tight-fitting covers. A supply
of dry cork dust will also be needed,
says the Agricultural Epitomist.
This dust may be purchased at al-
most any drug store and is quite in-
expensive. It is a non-conductor of
heat and resists moisture and is
therefore always in perfect condi-
tion. Put a layer of the cork dust
in the box, then one layer of grapes,
another of the dust and so on, not
allowing the bunches to touch one an-
other. Put on the box covers, tie
down securely and keep in a dry cool
storeroom or attic. Put up in this
way, they will keep in perfect con-
dition for months.
Third-—Gather perfect
from which a single grape has
dropped, observing all the precau-
tions given above. Lay sheets of cot-
ton on hanging shelves in a dry, cool
cellar, Wrap a bit of cotton’ about
each stem, securing it with thread
and lay the bunch on the cotton not
allowing one to touch another. Cov-

What Weeds Do.
Weeds injure the farmer chiefly in
two ways. First, by offending his
idea of the beautiful. This injury is
an important factor in .the value of
the land, and, furthermore, it is one
that is felt by the whole community.
A farm with weeds is not only less
valuable itself, but it makes every
other farm in the community less
valuable: Second, by the crop loss.
This is the loss that receives the more
common estimate. The farm's profits
are lessened in a number of ways, the
most important of which are the fol-
lowing:
Weeds rob the soil of moisture.
The amount of water that must be
taken up by the roots of any plant
and exhaled out into the air through
the leaves is enormous. Experiments
have shown that for most of the cul-
tivated grasses from 300 to 500
pounds of water must actually pass
through the plants to produce a sin-
gle pound of dry matter. In seasons
of drought, when there is scarcely
enough moisture to supply the culti-
vated crops, it is easy to understand
the injury done by the presence of a
large number of additional weedy
plants. This is doubtless the most
important of the weed injuries, for it
must not be forgotten that the mois-
ture in the soil is the all-important
thing.
he cultivates his corn and he will say,
“to kill the weeds,” when, as a mat-
ter of fact, it is, or should de, for the,
purpose of conserving the moisture
in the soil. The weeds are killed
purely as an incidental matter. A
perfectly clean corn field needs culti-
vating as well as a weedy one.
Weeds crowd the cultivated plants,
depriving them of light and space in
both soil and air. If corn or wheat
are planted too thickly they cannot
develop properly, because the plants
do not get enough sunlight and the
roots do not have sufficient feeding |
space. Similar results will be appar=
ent if the extra plants are weeds. :
Weeds rob the soil of food ele-!
ments required by other plants.
While there is usually more than
enough plant food for all plants in’
almost every soil, the amount in a
readily available form is limited, and
the greater the number of plants’
among which it is divided the slower
and less vigorous will be the growth
of all.
Weeds harbor injurious insects and
diseases. The overgrown fence rows
and ditches furnish most ideal places
for many of these troublesome ene-
mies to live through the winter.
Weeds sometimes injure by killing
farm stock or by rendering their pro-
ducts unsalable. Mountain laurel,
wild parsnip and a few other plants
faund as weeds in certain localities
sometimes kill stock outright. Wild
onion, a very serious weed in some
places, often renders milk and its
products unsalable.
Weeds render certain products of
the farm unsalable. Weeds in hay
reduce its value, and the presence of
weed seeds in commercial farm and
garden seed not ‘only reduces its
value, but opens the way for intro-
duction of a weed pest into a new lo-
cality, from which it can, perhaps,
never be epadicated.—Vernon H. Da-
vis, Assistant Professor of Horticul=-
ture, Ohio College.

Just Natural Gas.
The late Colonel Sellers would turn
over in his grave if he could listen
for a few minutes to the talk of Mr.
Alexander A. Eberson, of St. Louis,
reported in a New York Herald des-
patch from London.
Mr. Eberson and his clients, who
own natural gas wells in the Indian
Territory, ‘see no reason why it
shouldn’t pay’ to lay pipe nes to
this city and from here across the
Atlantic to Europe. He thinks ‘‘It
may not be many years before I.on-
don, Paris and Berlin are lighted
with Oklahoma gas and trolley cars
and workshops in these cities drive:
by the same power.”
We regret to note that Mr. Ebcr-
son confesses that his scheme “is os
vet in an embryonic state.” His im-
agination, however, fairly eclipses one
of those Oklahoma ‘‘gushers’” he de-
scribes as yielding “5000 barrels of
oil a day and an absolutely inex-
haustible supply of gas.”

Dogs Commit Suicide.
Suicide has become epidemic
among Clayton dogs. Chafing under
the restraint of muzzles, many of
them tore them from their heads and
were in danger of being shot by the
dog killer. In consequence they had
to be chained.

Clavtor, went fishing recently and
tied a valuable dog in the barn. The

gar and was hanged. A valuable
hound belonging to Grant Smith was
found this afternoon hanging by the
neck on a paling fence, but was res-
cued by a lady in time to save its life.
It, jumped up; on the fence again and

time they had met for several months.
A ‘few days later Berger's arm be-
gan to pain him. He went to the hos-

HIS SKIN TROUBLES CURED. |
First Had Itching Rash—Threatened |
Later With Bload-Poison in Leg—
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.
“ About twelve or fifteen vears ago I had |
a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so |
badly that I could not have any peace be- |
cause of it. Three doctors did not help me. |
Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura |
Ointment. and Cuticura Resolvent and be- |
gan to get better right away. They cured
me and I have not been bothered with the
itching since, to amount to anything. |
About two vears ago I had la grippe and
pneumonia which left me with a pain in |
my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, |
which then swelled and began to break out.
The doctor was afraid it would turn to |
blood-poison. I used his medicine but it
did no good, then I used the Cuticura
Remedies three times and cured the break-
ing-out on my lez. J. F. Hennen, Milan,
