Why should we mow the wheat. stubblesi We can keep the weed}:W down and give the clever a. good clgnce to grow. Why let weeds rob snot/‘angle and smother a. clover crop any more than a corn or potato crop? You. can cut them off with e. six-foot mower for 20 cents an acre, counting time of man and team. In it not practical, if weeds (an be kept down at that price? Weeds are rank growers, and if they get start- ed they will just about smother the clover out. Half the failures, says a writer, in seeding. comes from neg- lecting the clover after it is well start- ed. And the mowing of the stubble prevents the weeds from going to seed and stocking the ground for the fu- ture. Our land would grow a. solid crop of ragweed, etc., if left alone. Now, some years you would hardly find any rag-weeds in the wheat stubble when we mow. Again, weeds cannot grow with- out feeding on plant food in the soil. After your land has produced a wheat crop, there is usually little enough left for the clover or Timothy. 1f the Weeds get half, or more, the clever is robbed of food it needs. Will you let: it be robbed when you can stop the loss for 20 cents an acre, counting your time at $3 a. day? .1 can easily. mow fifteen acres in. a day. .This food which the weeds eat, that the clover should have, would be worthl many dollars to you ultimately. What business manage- ment not to invest 20 cents an acre to get back several dollars I But this is not the half of what. you mayl gain. Some years it is dry after. her- vest, and gradually the clever burns out although a good stand when the wheat was out. What is the matter? Want of water. But you let the weeds grow How much water do they use? Well, a crop that would make a ton of weed bay to the acre would take from: the soil between 300 and 400 tons of water. This is evaporated from the leaves while they are growing. Just think, 300 tons of water, 600,000 pounds per acre! Might not the clover have done better _ if it could have had this? {Is it busmessâ€" like to let the weeds steal it andi the clover die or suffer seriously when you could mow the stubbles for 20 cents an acre, and really for almost nothing by doing it some wet. day? Oli,_don tleeve them to grow and do all this mischief, and then rake them and draw them off the next spring. Those weeds drawn off are a loss of fertility to the field. .If mowed as soon as they start well above the clover, the plant food. is left [right thereI scattered on the land, and it has a double value. Every wheat stulbble that you cut off, and every clipping of Weed or clover that falls on the surface‘eots asamulch. This helps the young clover, enriches the soil by shading 1t,und checks eva-1 l through which the sun never penetrates . {so much the better. but shade ol‘ some ' poration. This vegetable matter scat- tered over the surface, all around be- twecn the plantsâ€"thisis where it willI get as they push their way. up through it,â€"-will help wonderfully about curryâ€"l ing the young clover through a dry time. And all this comes In to pay that I 20 cents over and overagam. .But .I. am [not done yet. The clipping of_ top‘ of clover has atendency to hicken rt, . and it. )revents its seeding, which inyures it for next year. ilt increases root and itop growth. And then you have clean buy the next year. There is no growth of weeds that must be raked up and drawn off in the spring, or ‘clse be ’put up in the hay. You-r field! is' all clean in the spring. The clippings decay so they will not rake up, if the mowing is done on time, while the weeds are l young and tender. Now,_ friends, 1 be- I lieve all this to be true in theory: and I from many years of practice. We began ' the practice because it seemed to prom- ise good results, and we have not been disappointed.

But. when our little holiday season ' is over, we may find the late summer amosl excellent time todosome kinds ,of work about the farm which hch been crowded aside during the busier season. For a number of yours {I have taken a few weeks just after buying land harvesting to clear up some odd .pieccs of land. One such piece had Ireccntly had its timber cut off when if came upon this farm which is now *my home. The blackberry bush grew lrenk through the heaps of dead Limbs .and smaller branches which yet re- imeiued upon the slashing. In every ldireclion old logs, relics of byâ€" fgone days.

Some stumps still remain on the piece, but most of them may be easily removed with a. team. Now. that field affords an abundance of 1‘th pasturage. On my fslrm was also a. lot covering severed acres which had once been desired up, but had been allowed to grow to brush until some of the sap- lings were good sized trees. For the past two seasons it has been my late summer: work to out these small trees. The trunks and larger limlbs make good wood. The smaller branches I plied and bulrned clean. It iswonder- ful how quickly such lamd will come into fine clover and other sweet grasses. _ (There are few farms upon which there are not some such fields as I have been describing. A. few weeks‘ work will put them into condition to yield very good results. Some say the assessor takes no account of land grown up to unprofitable brush. On his roll an acne is an acre,e.nd~ .13 never knew the taxâ€"gatherer to show any mercy when the time of year comes round for collecting dues to the? town. county and state. We must defend ourselves by putting to the best os- sible use every foot of our loud. I.‘he margin between success and failure just now is very dimly defined at best, and .we cannot afford to run any chances by poor farming. Make every acre count. HOGS LN SU‘MIMER. The hog may be kept growing and thrifty through August as well asMay, provided the May conditions are fur- nished, and this is possible on most farms. One of the most important of these is pasture. It is possible to grow hogs successfully by soiling, says a writer in National Stockman, but it re- quires more attention and work than umost farmers are willing to bestow. A grass r-un affords the growing pig that exercise so necessary for his proper de- velopment, and the succulent grasses are rich in the muscle and bone-forming lmaterial. Grass and clover are 1005â€" l ening to the system, and are just suit- ! ed to his wants in dry, hot weather. it I matters not how well cared for in other lrespects, the pig will never be thrifty in summer unless he has plenty of pure ! fresh water. This important point is, ‘ perhaps, more often neglected than any I other. Slop will not answer the purpose of drinking water entirely, though it is, , of course, apartial sulbstitute. The man who has never had the job of carrying water inapail toe-bunch of hogs has no , idea. of the amount they will drink on e. idry, hot day. The man who will pen 5 up hogs, or any other animal, in‘ a lot i or field quiet destitute of shade ought , to receive the attention of the humane lsociety. Such protection from the sun ! as wire fence affords is hardly sufficient l Shade trees here and there will do fairâ€" : 1;: well, but nothing is equal to a wood i lot. If the groundis low and damp, and l is covered by a. dense undergroth ‘ kind hogs must; havein order to thrive ;and grow. Some good hog growersbe- lieve that hog baths are unnecessary. Others are just as sure that swallow of mud is better than none. I know from long experience that the hog will do tolerably well without any bath except rain, provided he has damp earth and dense shade. , he can have a. bath of clean water at will. But rather than allow him access to a. foul wallow of thick mud I would prefer that he never see water except to drink. In these times we must look (:arefuuly to these little details if we grow hogs at a reason- able profit. . . WHEN OUR SHIP COMES IN. So Long Walling for It No“ in These ‘ Mollcrn Days of Slcnm.

(‘an Never Be Quite shutâ€"A Revolving Cylinder With a Door Inside a Cylin- der With “two Pusmgciâ€"lu Value on Slenmshlps. The invention is just announced of a door that is never closed and never open. It. is the only door on earth that a person is forced to shut behind him under any and all circumstances. \Vsâ€" ter cannot pass through it or around the casing. it is the invention of (Al- exander Kircaldy. of Glasgow, Scot- land, and he has labored to bring it_ to its present state of perfection for ten years. Primarily, this door is intended for vessels, for its chief claim to dis- tinction is that it is water tight. To the bulkhead, where the door is fitted, is bolted a. hollow, cylindrical casing. In this casing are twa doors, but they are not. opposite one another, rather being located on two sides of the casing. -\V’iathin this hollow casing re- volves a. hollow cylinder, and there is a doorway to this cylinder. IN THE REVWJVING CYLINDER. Now, when it is desired to pass through this novel door, the cylinder referred to within the casing is turn- ed so that the door thereinl is opposite one of the doors in the casing. \Vhen the ingress doonwiey is in a. line with the bulkhead doonwuly the passenger enters and stands on the bottom of the casing, and revolves the hollow cyl- inder by bland until he brings the in- gress doonwiey into line With the sec- ond bulkhead doonway, which permits of egress from the casing. The remarkable feature of this dou- ble door, is as stated, that it is. abso« lutely impossible to leave it open, as one door must of neceSSity be effective- ly closed before the other opens. .The revolving cylinder is hung on ball bearings, and is easily brought into the position desired for ingress or egress. [At the same time, no gear, which is so familiar to other types of watertight doors, is reuuired. EDS VALUE ON STEAMS‘HIPS. .The importance of this doorway to the modern vemel is hard to overesti- mate. Any one familiar with the con- ;sbruction of the modern ocean liner Ikno‘ws that the various compartments g are connected by doors. It often hap- pens that the sailors, in clos- ing the water tight compartments, ere careless about leaving the doors open. It may be remembered that the loss of the steamship Elbe off the Eng- ‘ lish coast several years ago is suppos- ed to have been due to the fact that the compartments of the vessel were not closed properly. Had this door spoken of been in use such an event would have been impossible. partment to another as much as they may, it is not in their power to leave- the connecting ways 1n such a con-; ditilon as to be a. menace to the ves- sel. Therefore this new invention reâ€" moves s. tremendous menace to the ocean traveller, provided it is, as ed. . For many years inventors have been endeavoring to evolve just such a. door as this, because the de- mand therefor has been very great. and urgent. .Mr. Kircaldy is the first to succeed of the many who have at- tempted. . i M. ._' AN ELECTRIC MAGNET. â€"â€"â€"â€" A l'lcul-‘uut.
