ONE OF WORST WEED PESTS
Horse Nettle Ranks with Canada
Thistle and Quack Grass—One
Method for Eradication.
We are again in receipt of our old
friend, the horse nettle. This time it
Is a central Iowa correspondent who
sends us the prickly-leafed, potato-
blossomed weed, says Wallace’s Far-
mer. He says that in the locality
there is only one patch, and it is but
sixty feet square. He wishes to know
how to get rid of the weed.
As all of our cider readers know,
horse nettle ranks with Canada thistle
and quack grass as one of the worst
of the weed pests. It is degenerate
relative of the potato and tomato,
which spreads not only by abundant
seeds, but by strong underground
rootstocks. The only way to deal

Some Men Can Get More Out of A
mals in One Round With Plow
Than Another Will in Two.
How many acres of tillable far
land will one horse work? This,
course, depends on the kind of far
ing done, on the kind of machine
used and on the efficiency of the mifcn
who works the horses. It would not
be difficult to find 100 acres of till-
able land worked in one case with
two good horses and from this on
up to six work horses. Probably more
depends on the ability of the driver
to handle his horses than any other
one thing. Some drivers will take
more out of their horses at one
round with the plow than another will
in two rounds. In one case the plow-
ing is done in a haphazard sort of
way, the horses are tangled at the
ends, are backed and turned un-
necessarily, are jerked viciously when
out of line, and possibly the harnesses
do not fit properly. In the other
case the horses are given a steady,
true gait which is kept up, the turns
are smooth and without yelling and
jerking and the driver watches the
working of his plow and fit of his
harnesses all day long. No team
should be worked over an hour at
hard pulling before the harnesses are
looked over to see that all parts set
properly. To some this carefulness
comes naturally; to others it never
will come. Efficiency in the driver
means efficiency in the team, and it
is a pleasure to see horses worked
well.

with such a pest is continually to pre-
vent the leaves from spreading them-
selves out in the sunshine. Everything
considered, probably the best method
for our correspondent would be to
take a sharp hoe and go over the
patch every ten days, cutting off ev-
ery horse nettle plant just below the
surface of the ground. This treat-
ment is troublesome, but with such a
small patch it probably is the safest
and best.
HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP WELL
v
Wall Can Be Laid Five or Six Feet
High, Arching It at Top With
Large Stone for Covering.
It is impossible to drive a pipe for
a well in some localities, and stones
are scarce to lay a wall in a dug well,
writes J. II. Andre of Wisconsin in
the Farm and Home. In such cases
the wall can be laid 5 or 6 feet high,
arching it at the top with large stones
to 15 or 18 inches in diameter, and
cover it with a large flat stone, a,
with a hole in the center to admit a
6-inch pipe. Place a stone, b, in the
bottom of the well 18 inches in diam-
eter and 4 inches thick. Concrete is
best. Make a concrete cone, c, 3 fee*
long. 18 inches in diameter, at the
bottom, 3 inches thick and of a size
to fit the bell end of an 8-inch sewer
pipe at the top. The large end of the
cone will need openings in the side to
allow the water to enter freely when
pumping. Place the large end of the
cone on the stone.
The first length, d, of sewer pipe
can be 8 inches. Wh& the pipe, e,

Before the state legislature in Al-

sented a plan for America’s first “de-

first organized government bureau to
care for the destitute home. More
than a generation ago governmental
aid for the families of the very poor
was abandoned in New York city;
living conditions—and living’s cost—
have changed radically since then;
today the specially appointed commit-
tee of investigation for the city con-
ference of charities and correction
urges governmental aid as the only
hope of real “social 'justice” and liv-
able support for the homes of the
destitute. There are hundreds of
women and children starving in New
York for whom only the government
can adequately care.

ter of the cost of living,” said O. F.

CAUTIONS FOR CEMENT USERS
Among Other Things Do Not Allow
Material to Freeze Before It Is
Properly Hardened.
Never expose freshly made concrete
to the hot summer sun. Avoid too
rapid drying out, says the American
Cultivator.
Do not allow it to freeze before it is
properly hardened.
Do not use soft sand stone or brick
except for filler, in large work, and
even then with discretion.
Do not apply fresh cement to old
and hardened surfaces without first
thoroughly soaking with water and
hacking a rough surface on it. Cleanse
thoroughly.and then apply a very thin,
neat cement wash.
Do not attempt to retemper and use
concrete that has stood too long in
the mixing board and attained its set.
Use a uniform Portland cement and
give attention to uniform methods of
working and the results will be uni-
form.
Use a finely ground cement. The
finer the cement the greater covering
properties it possesses and the more
sand it can carry. An excess of ce-
ment is unnecessary, as a thin, even
coating is all that Is required.
Be sure to mix thoroughly. Many
faulty jobs are due to poor mixing.
Do not be afraid of overdoing it, as
longer mixing permits of using less
cement.

i The price of the necessities of life has increased so mucti
~y-.^ that -destitution has become a problem too great for the private societies
meet alone. I have no doubt that the private charitable organizations
take care of the destitute families if they only had enough money; but under '
present conditions they have not enough money; and so something else must
be done—something else must be added.
“What we are suggesting is something absolutely hew. But it is simply
the outgrowth of present conditions. It is a question that has ‘broken
through’ many times lately in various parts of the United States; here in
New York we are first bringing it to the point of definite, organized action.”

Farm Notes
Buy your clover seed early.
Sorghum makes very good silage.
Soy beans are a coming crop in the
middle west.
The output of broom corn is about
$1,270,000 annually.
After all, it isn’t such a big job to
save your seed corn early.
Alfalfa fields and silos are land-
marks of a progressive community.
Celery grown in ffiur-foot rows may
be earthed up with the celery plow.
Soil for soy beans should receive
as thorough preparation as land for
corn.
At present prices for seed, the soy
bean is one of the most valuable farm
crops.
As a money crop broom corn is one
of the most satisfactory that can be
grown.
Rye makes a fair grade of silage
and should be cut when the seeds are
in the milk.
Few crops respond more, promptly
to a thorough preparation of the soil,
than winter grain and especially,
wheat. ,
With the mow full of hay and a1 silo
full of corn, the farmer can slee£ on
cold winter nights with a heart full of
content.
Storage cabbage should be tossed
from one man to another, and! not
thrown into wagons or handled
rouarhly
According to press reports from
Greece, the hospital arrangements of
the Greek army are entirely inade-
quate for emergencies. The army has
acted with such rapidity that it is im-
possible for the field ambulances to
keep pace with it. Princess Alice,
wife of Prince Andrew, the fourth son
of King George, with a staff of picked
nurses, is following the army and ren-
dering first aid to the wounded, by
whom she is spoken of as “the minis-
tering angel.”
At Sarandoper she performed al-
most miracles, flitting with her staff
from one quarter to another until
late In tne evening, when she was
compelled to stop because her cloth-
ing was drenched with blood.
Princess Helena, daughter of the
Crown Prince, has also arrived with
her hospital train.
Looking around the railroad sta-
tion at Larfssa, which was littered
with wounded men, some on ambu-
lances, others propped against the walls, she exclaimed m pathetic tones.
“Only three weeks to prepare for all this! It was not enough time, and
this is only the beginning.”

MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND TO WED AGAIN
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of
the former president of the United
States, is to be mscried next April to
Prof. Thomas Preston, an honorary
professor at Princeton University and
now occupying the chair ot archae-
ology at Wells College, Aurora, N. Y.,
the institution attended by Mrs.
Cleveland, then Frances Folsom.
Although formal " announcement
has not been made and probably will
not be made until after the debut of
Miss Esther Cleveland this winter,
the fact of the engagement has been
known for some time among the in-
timate friends of Mrs. Cleveland and
Professor Preston.
The second romance of the woman
-who as “the bride of the White
House” charmed a nation and whose
high character and devotion to her
distinguished husband have been, by
example, a national influence toward
high Ideals of wifehood, is the out-
come of an acquaintanceship of little
more than a year’s duration, with a man practically unknown in America.
Professor Preston, who is about fifty yfears of age, a literary scholar and
a linguist of international distinction, is a man of strong but retiring per-
sonality, and, although He bas held a high place among the faculty of Prince*
ton for years, It is said that his first meeting with Mrs. Cleveland took place
not many months ago.
