In nearly all-cases the farmer who
has a good sized herd of cows and no
separator can well afford to sell his
poorest cow and buy a separator. It
will save him money in the end.
A Jersey cow will make more butter
pound for pound of feed consumed
above what is taken by the necessi-
ties of the animal than any other
breed because for generations she has
been bred especially for butter pro-
duction.
It is the cow in good flesh that does
her best in the milk line. When she is
thin and hungry all the time she will
surely put the biggest part of what is

It is only in exceptional cases that,
with the exception of mill feeds, the
average farmer can afford to purchase
any considerable amount of feed. It is

“Well, I've got a new aero car;"
said Gans, boyishly, to his wife when
he came home one evening.
"No!” said Mrs. Gans under her
breath. “You really haven’t Edgar!”
"I really have. Traded my motor
car in on the deal, too. The aero car
cost me $20,000 altogether. The best
the Aerial Navigation Company would
allow me on the motor car was $200.
Think of it! And I’ve seen the time
a motor car like that was worth
17,000."
“But," ventured Mrs. Gans, “aero
motoring, or whatever you may call it,
is dangerous, I don’t care what they
say to the contrary. Your auto was
perfectly beautiful and we had such
splendid times in it.”
“Well," replied Gans in defense, "I
hope you didn’t want me to continue
in the ranks of the ancient? Why,
every time I took that auto out I
couldn't help feeling embarrassed. No
matter if it was the very last thing in
auto making, I was a back number
nevertheless. If I dared to speed a
little I was continually dodging men,
women, children, dogs, chickens, po-
licemen and constables. With an aero
car I can scorch around - in the
empyrean blue with nothing but clouds
In the way. And running through
towering piles of cumulus is all the
craze in aero clubs now.”
From a motor car to an aero car
was a transition as abrupt as it was
far, and Mrs. Gans was apprehensive,
notwithstanding this glowing picture.
She was apprehensive because she
knew Gans much more intimately
than he knew himself. She knew him
well enough to know about what he
would do under any given circum-
stance.
Gans had been the automobile fiend
of his set He had spent more time
In and under automobiles than any
ether man he knew. Motoring had
been meat and drink to him.

erected on the best part of his lawn.

of the Aerial Navigation Company.

How the Pestiferous Little Plant Can
Be Exterminated.
: . : ' { 2 i •. € ' 1 - '
The “dainty little dandelion,” which
is considered a charming flower in
some sections of the country, is con-
sidered a great pest in others. The
plant thrives best in cool climates,
hence it is abundant in. north central
latitudes and comparatively rare in
most south central and southern lati-
tudes.
In some places the dandelion is so
hardy and prolific that it invades and
becomes established on almost every
square rod of uncultivated land. It
multiplies rapidly by its seeds and by
root budding or division. It some
places and in some years it has been
known to blossom every month of the
year. It produces a multitude of small
seeds, each provided with a unique
parachute device by which they are
carried in every direction and to great
distances by the lightest breezes.
The long, slender flower stock at
the top of which the composite blossom
and seed cluster are borne is sent up
in a day’s time. If one flower stalk
becomes mutilated, or destroyed a new
one is immediately produced from la-
tent buds and rich stores of plant food
in the thick underground stem and
root. It is a strong competitor for
place and life in the race for existence
with the strongest plants, and on ac-
count of great vigor and prolificness
it is called a success from the plant’s
point of view.
It many section the dandelion has
become a great pest in lawns, entirely
crowding out desirable grass plants.
Repeated mowings have no effect upon
it, and the only means by which many
are able to eradicate it is in digging
out the roots by hand. This is a long
and laborious process, often attended
by unsatisfactory results, for if only
a few small roots remain they soon
multiply and again take possession of
the grounds. i
As the result of three years’ suc-
cessful work, days the Journal of Agri-
culture, the following facts will prove
of great interest to every owner of
blue grass lawh:
Young dandelion planta are killed by
spraying with a 20 per cent solution of
sulphate of iron. Old plants are badly
injured, the follage being wholly de
stroyed, but the growing bud is not
killed and the old root sends up new
foliage. Applying dry sulphate of Iron
to the “hearth-(growing bud)‘ of,the
old plant produces death. Repeated
spraying of middle-aged and old plants
results in their death.
To destroy young dandelion plants
by spraying, dissolve two pounds of
sulphate of Iron in a gallon of water,
stirring with a stick to hasten solu-
tion. and apply with a hand sprayer
Use one gallon solution to one square
rod grass plot. If the first application
is not eompletely successful, spray a
second time. Repeated spraying will
be rewarded by the eradication of the
plant.
The- grass and clover will be black-
ened and appear killed, but this need
cause no alarm; they are not mortally
injured and in a few days recover and
grow with increased vigor.
The solution can be made and
sprayed over a square rod plot of grass
in less than a half hour. Freshly cut
lawn grass leaves are very susceptible
to injury by spraying with sudphate of
l ron solutions; therefore, do not spray
a lawn to kill dandelions for several
days before or after cutting.
Sulphate of iron may be applied In
large quantities (50 pounds to a square
rod) to a lawn without permanent In-
jury to the blue grau.

To achieve a reputation for delicious

Boon original touches can be added to

food can masquerade as masterpieces
