Many miles of harvest crop is a great mass of yel- lcw blossoms during the flowering period of this obnoxious weed. The seed is spread in several ways. Usually, the soil becomes infected ‘with mustard from manure which has been taken from barns where stock have been fed on grain, hay or straw in which there has been a. mixture of mustard seed, which, owing to he hard coat on the seed and its oily nature, is hard to digest and passes through the animal with its vitality unimpaired. The need is sometimes introduced by seed grain, turnip seed tr rape seed. Birds also carry the seed from field to field. When only a few stacks of must-ltd are scattered through a field of grain, it is a very simple matter to eradicate them. As the plant is an annual, it ‘ is only necessary to pull the weed be- Wore the seed matures to completely kill the peste. When' the weed has become well established in the Soil, hand pulling becomes impracticable owing to the magnitude of the labor involved. \Vhen the weed is well established, spraying, as described in the 23rd an- ‘nueal report of the University of Wis- consin becomes necessary. The solu- tion used in spraying is made by dis- solving 100 lbs. of iron sulphate in 52 gallons of water, and stirring con- stantly until the iron sulphate goes into solution. When all the material is In solution the spray is then ready for thee. In spraying, any reliable orch- ard sprayer may be used. . Spraying, to be of any title, must ‘he done just before the plantsâ€"flower. if spraying is delayed until later, de~ 4 struction of the wood will not occur. By experience, it has been found ne- cessary to spray two or three years in successi‘tn to completely eradicate the weed. The cost of spraying, how- a, i ver, is a not large one, and the bene- iit derived from the eradication of the F'elzgd repaysthe expense many, many - o . .TEACHJNG FARMERS Z J,“ OD. McKee, Guelph, Would Send a First-Class Man Among Them . l â€"_ ‘ The best way the Government can improve the agriculture of the coun- etry is to show the farmers that it will pay them to rotate their crops, test their seed corn, clean their grain, etc., says Daniel McKee, Guelph Agricul- tural College, and do all the things that are advised by the agricultural colleges, for, unless the farmer can be persuaded that it will pay him, and pay him well, to use these advanced methods, be naturally will not do so. Just as men are honest because it is the best policy, so farmers, as a rule, (10 not farm for the sake of farming, but to make money and so keep their families and themselves as comfort. able as possible. When a farmer is told that such and such an experiment farm can raise 80 bushels of cats to his 25, he says that it is supported by the government and that it does not matter whether it pays or not. The best way to deal with a farmer is to carry the gospel of better farming to his very door. To (1) this the Govern- ment should pick out the best edu- cated and most upâ€"to-date farmer in a. given districtâ€"a man who owns his own farm and is making it pay, and pay well. Having chosen this man the Gov- ernment should pay. him so much a year for helping the farmers in every way he could. He would have to con- duct his own farm so that it would be giving him a maximum return for his investment. He would have to mix with the farmers on market days, ..etc., and give lectures now and again so as to get himself before the farming public of his district. When the lEI‘L‘l- ers discovered that there was a man in exactly the same position as them- selves, who was making more money out of his farm than they were, they would naturally want to know how he did it, and they would visit his farm and ask him questions. It would be his business to answer these questions and point out to the farmers wherein his method of farming was, superior to theirs and why. African Drum Signals For centuries before Marconi wire- less telegraph was known the mystery ‘of swift communication puzzled ex- plorers of barbarian regions.- In the heart of Africa a missionary discover- !ed the method of hollowing a large gourd, which was then dried, and Jround it was stretched the skin of a kid, hard and thin as parchment. Beaten with a padded drumstick this instrument gives a sound which can be heard eight miles away. And each willage contains the expert who can .tap the message and send it on.

The common SL1}? flower is a great grower upon arc prairie, and can be raised to great ad vantage by the farmer. In Russia tht sunflower is largely grown and is used for a variety of purposrs. Grat quan iities of the seeds are cater. by th peasantry and eve nby the higher classes, and are as much mined as peanuts are by us. in Russia and 0th r Greek and lioznan Catholic countries where the use of meat 3s restricted a certain seasons, the use of Sunflchr Beds as food has become Very con:- mon. Moreover the oil from the sin?“ flower can be obtained at the. rate of a gallon from a bushel of seeds. Ar 50 bushels of seeds can be strewn on one acre. and as the oil se‘fs at one dollar a gallon, it is evident that for the prairie farmer the grouth of the sunflower would be quite remunera- tive . The oil of the sunflower com- pares very favorably with olive oil and has indeed been used in adultera. flag it. The crude sunflower oil has to some extent been used by painters, although it is inferior to linseed oilI for paint. But, besides yielding value “for oil, the other portionsof the sun- Ilower can be made profitable. When. ’its stalks are out green it is said that they make an excellent fodder for cattle. The oil cake obtained from the 'sunfloWei‘ seeds and stalks is also stated to be useful in feeding stock. The use of the stalk however, ap- peals to our prairie farmers. In China the fibre of the plant, which is said to he find, Silky and strong, is Woven into fabrics both beautiful and serviceable. To the farmers who live on our high plains where fuel is scarce there seems to bc a most self-evident use of sunflower stalks and dried leaves. An acre of sunflowers when matured will yield many cords of good fuel. Ex- periments should be made by a num~ ber of our best farmers with sun- flowers, as they Seem to be a crop splendidly adapted to the climate and soil. of 'lVesteru Canada.-~Winnipeg Free Press. ' FATTENING CHICKENS First Use » Insect Powder Liberally and her. Feed Chickens intended for fattening should be selected as regards size, and only those nearly the same size should be placed together. About the first thing to do with them is to dust them carefully over with insect powder, so ' as to rid them of vermin. This should ' times per day. be done at least two or three times more while they are being iattened.

He is probably the only man in the world who can say that he is strong and alive after hav- ing lost the majority of his joints and eight major boncs. ‘ Thompson was in a bad plight when he fell from a Span of the Quebec bridge, on which he was working three days previcrs to the collapse of the structure. He dropped over two hun- dred feet into the river, and when rescued, was found to have every ma- jor bone in his body broken. So the unconscious workman was hustled off to New York to be used for experi- mentation purposes at St. Luke’s Hos. pital. The house surgeons there took charge of him and proceeded to patch him up. After three years he came back to Canada. looking for a job. in his head is a gold plate larger than a silver dollar; between his ribs are special steel girders; his elbows are of steel; six feet of new bone has been cngrafted into the legs and arm. A steel bar holds his head erect, but prevents it from turning. Mr. Thompson was offered big money to go rin the stage, but refused.

WINDOW/GARDENING Plants Even in Winter Require Plenty of Fresh Air There is far more opening for the display of taste and skill in the plan- ning and raising of a really pretty “window garden” than is commonly allowed. A A point for the window-gardener to remember in winter is that plants of which the roots are saturated in water are more likely to suffer from frost than if kept rather dry. Window plants, like all others, re- quire plenty of fresh air, and it is a common mistake to keep those grown in pots inside a close room through the winter instead of on the window- 1m" 'sill. The result is usually that they suffer from the attacks of insects. EXERCISE THE HOGS . Exercise is a part of the bags life which is generally allowed to take care. of itself. The result is that generally the bog either does not get enough of it, or else he gets too much. Exercise is like feed. or heat or cold, or almost anything else. Enough is Just'right. It is not a hard thing to regulate in a reasonable way and with very little care or trouble either, if one only takes the time to think about it. Exercise plays a great part in the physical development of any living animal, and this is especially true of young ani- mals when growing. v Thanks To our customers for their kind pat- ronage during the past year, and wish- ing everyone a Bright. and Happy New Year.
