The enactment of laws to compel the cutting of weeds before they have ripened seed should be delt with by the provincial and municipal authori- ties, because the majority of weeds are necessarily local in character, on account of the diversity of climate. soil and methods of farming. It may be said that further laws of this sort would not be enforced any better than those we now have. But it is the duty of all farmers to make sure that they are not reaponsihle for the spread of weeds from their farms to others. Good farmers should en- deavor to create a strong public senti- ment against uhit‘tlessness on the part of those who are disposed to al- low their fields to become overrun with weeds, so that the danger which now exists, and the greater danger which is in prospect, may be met in such a way that noxious weeds will not become too great a burden upon those who make their living primari- ly from the cultivation of the soil. THE DISSEMINATION OF WEED SEEDS. All weeds are disseminated by means of their seeds, while a consid- erable number also multiply through the medium of underground root stems. Among the latter we have Couch Grass, Canada Thistle, Peren- nial Sow-Thistle, Bindweed Sheep Sorrel, and some others. When a new weed is discovered, it is a good plan to examine into its habits 0t growth and means of reproduction There are many ways in which weed seeds can be destroved on the farm, says Mr. G. H. Clark. Chief of the Seed Division, Ottawa. Quanti- ties of weed seeds get out into the farmyard at threshing time. There is a general tendency just at that time to do things with a rush. The threshing machine is apt to be over crowded and many of the weed seeds, as well as a considerable quantity of grain. carried out with the straw These are likely to germinate and grow with the next crop A little care in the barn at the time of thresh- ing and cleaning of grain, especially seed grain, will do much to lessen future labor with hoe and cultivator. Cleanings from grain containing weed seeds should be boiled‘or very finely ground. The seeds of many of the worst weeds are so small that it is not safe to trust to grinding to kill them; they should be boiled. It is not wise. either, to throw worthless screenings fin roadways. Many of them will be carried away in mud on the hoofs of horses and the wheels of vechicles and so distributed widely. the seeds of most weeds of the Mus- tard family have such a pungent flav- or as to render them unpalatable to stock. The admixture with meal of even a small quantity of Worm-seed Mustard would render it useless for feeding purposes. The Fruit Division also points out that this plague of mice is largely due to the common practice of des- troying every owl and hawk that can possibly be shot 'or trapped. It is a great mistake to do this. All var ieties of owls and hawks are great 1 mousers. indeed mice constitute the chief item in the bill-oH’are of most species. At least ten varieties ,of owls are classed as residents of Cana- da. and of these only the Great-horn- ed owl is a menace to the farmer’s poultry yard. Of a dozen species of hawks commonlv found in Canada. only three are classed as chicken hawks, viz., the Sharp-shinned Hawk the Gosbawk and COOper’s Hawk. The four varieties usually known as “hen hawk” scarcely ever visit poul- try yards, and an occasional depreda- tion is far more than counterbalanced by their services as destroyers of mice rats. squirrels and other enemies of. the farmer. The mice burrow along the ground under the snow in search of food, as soon as they come to a young tree start to gnaw it. Wooden veneer is probably the most satisfactory pro- tection against them, and it has the additional merit of being a good pre- ventive of sunscald. The veneer is wrapped closely around the trunk and tied ; and an air space is left between it and the tree. These veneers cost from $3.75 to $5.00 per thousand ' Ordinary building paper, which costs 'a mere trifle. is also a first rate pro. tection, but it is not of much value as apreventive of sunscald Tar pa- . per is also effective, but as trees have ‘ been injured by its use, it is better to be on the safe side and use something else. In any case the lower end of paper should be banked with earth, so that the mice cannot readily get under it to the tree. A mould of earth about a foot high around the base of the tree will often turn them. and even snow tramped about the tree has proved efl’ectuul. but these are not so trustworthy as the veneers or the building paper as a shelter for them. but. the orch- nrdist will find it necessary to pro vide some sort of protection. if he wishes to be fairly sure of bringing his young trees safely through the winter. Lest 'winter thousands of fruit. trees were girdled and killed by mice. and the same thing will doubt- less hsppen sgsin the cominc winter unless orcbsrdiscs tske precsutions to prevent it. Mice are not usually very troutlesome in orchards “here clesn cultivation is plactised and rubbish is not sllowed to accumulate _Protoctin¢§l'rnit Mm lice. ’aha Laxative DESTROYING WEED SEEDS, There is also a number of weeds that have been recently ,introduced into WeStern Canada and which have proved to be exceedingly dangerous. Most of them were brought in by im- migrants Among them are Tumbl- ing Mustard, Hare’s-ear Mustard and field Pennycress or Stinkweed. A few plants of each of these have been found in different parts of Ontario during the past season. and the East will know about them later. One thing seems clear. and that is that the weed pests are not gaining bead way at a much more rapid rate than they did twenty five years ago. How can we account for this? The investigations of the. Seed Divi- sion have shown that the seedsmen are to blame to aconsiderable extent. but there are many other means by which weeds become disseminated and which are worthy of considera- tion. Any farmer who has land that is annually flooded by freshets knows the difficulty of keeping such land free from weeds. Transportation «companies. particularly the railway gompanies. have much to do with the introduction of new weeds; Most of our noxious weeds are introduced from Europe. Their seeds are often brought in material that is usrd for packing articles of commerce. This packing material is scattered about on the ground and the seeds soon germinate. In three or {our years ihe new weed may be found on a large number of farms. That is the way most of our weeds come to us. The Wind and animals of various kinds do much to Spread weed seeds in a local way. Seeds of many weeds are provided with Special facilities, some like small parachutes as in the Dandelion and Canada Thistle. by the aid of which the seeds are carried long distances by the wind. .Nature provided seeds of other weeds. such as burs, with the means of clinging to the wool of sheep or to other ani- mals in order to insure their dis- tribution. In any case it is the seed that comes first ; the weed curse fel- lows. In using Dr. Hamilton’s Pills of Mandrake and Butternut for con- stipstion or files. Highly recom- mended becsuse they cause no grip- ing pains. For prompt end certsin cure use only Dr. Hamilton’s Price 25 cents. All will agree that most districts have their full share of weeds. Like the poor they are always with us How do we get them? Many farmers can doubtless remember when Canada Thistle was a new weed. Perennial Sow-Thistle, Ribgrass, Ragweed, Bindweed and some others are of more recent introduction. There are many more to come, and some of them are even more noxious than those that are now common. For in- stance, there is the Devil’s Plant Brush or Orange Hawkweed that is already well distributed over the Eastern Townships of Quebec and part of New Brunswick. Where this weed has become well established,' land that was Worth forty dollars an acre five years ago could not be sold for five dollars an acre to-day. Asarule the seeds of the more noxious weeds that grow from the seed alone retain their vitality for several years when embedded in the soil. It is highly important, then. to prevent the formation of seed. It is quite evident that many fields throughout Canada have now a sulfi- cient stock of seeds to produce lux- nriant crops of weeds for several years, but by adopting a suitable rotation it is possible to prevent most of the plants from these seeds coming to maturity. In the Seed Laboratory at Ottawa, one hundred fresh seeds of Wild Mustard were planted in good soil in a box. and under the most favorable conditions only thirty five of them could be induced to grow‘ The box was then placed in the Open air for a week with the thermometer below ,zero. When again put in the germ- inator,seventeen more of the seeds produced plants. The soil was then allowed to become thoroughly dry and again put out to freeze. after which twelve more of the hundred seeds germinated. This operation was repeated several times, until finally every seed demonStrated that the mother plant had not lived in vain. ‘ Weeds that depend for production upon their seed alone produce them in large numbers. A single plant of False Flax will mature from twenty five to thirty thousand seeds and al- though we sometimes have had reason t doubt the vitality of the seed of cgrn or mangels that we buy, we need have no misgivings as to the Vitality of these weed seeds. The seed of those weeds that mature in our grain crops. even though it shells out on the field. is with difliculty in- duced to germinate at a time when it can be destroyed. Some of it can be persuaded to grow by stirring the surface soil directly alter harvest but most of it will not germinate un- til it gets ready. Thus Nature pro vides for the perpetuation of the spe- cies. end dieseminetion. A knowledge of these is more important to the farm- er than the mere neme of the weed Not The Slightest Danger W. A. CLEMON , Publication Clerk. No flour ever became papular so rapidly. Since Canada spends thirty millions a year for flour. and makes the best in the world. it would seem as if every Canadian family could and would have this flour. The Prince of Wales selected it for the Royal household and hence its name. It. owes everything to the way it is made. The best mills in the Empire grind it. again and again to make it fine enough. Process after process is applied and finally electricity to make it pure enough. Canada Spends this Vast Sum Annu- ally for Bread, Cake and Pastry. Electricity is a new idea in flour making. Not only attack the passages of the head and throat but finally reach the lungs and cause consumption. Nath- ing destroys catarrh so quickly as fragrant healing Catarrhozone which relieves the cough. staps the dis- charge. takes all soreness from the throat. “ I consider Catarrhazone has a cure for Catarrh and lung trouble” writes James E. Wetherell of Brighton. “It cured me after many good doctors failed to even re- lieve my trouble.” Catarrhozone can’t fail to cureâ€"it’s guaranteed, Two month’s treatment $1.00; trial size 25c.

This process is controlled in Can- ada by the Ogilvie Flour Mills 00., Limited. and used exclusively in making Royal Household flour, which has captured Great Britain. the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Fin- land, South Africa, Gibraltar. the West Indies, Newfoundland and even far of Fiii and Australia, and Canada from coast to coast. The best grocers certify to their customers that no flour is the equal of Royal Household for either breed or poetry. Thousands of unsolicited testimon- ials pour in on the Ogilvie Company. The Ogilvie Mills at Montreal and Winnipeg. and its new mill being built at Fort William are taxed to their utmost to produce the famous flour fast enough, and yet their ca- pacity is more than double that of any other flour concern in Canada. Rattles even the strongest man. but to the average woman it is a taste of general purgatory. Take a little Nerviline in sweetened water and away goes the palipitation. You'll be saved lots of worry by keep- ing Nerviline on hand. which is a treasure for all sorts of pains and aches. Nerviline cures headache, stomach and bowel troubles quickly. Costs 25c. for a large bottle. People who live where they have earthquakes naturally kick about the ground rents. Make hay while the sun shines, and your friends will borrow from you when it. rains.
