Oheftey ^ Aim CAMFOHM.k Much Easier Job Than in Spring After the Garden Has Been Planted. It is not too late to rid small gar den area-s of such persistent weed pe.sts as the wild morning glory and the poverty weed. It is announced by Walter Ball of the botany department of the Colorado Agricultural college. Eradication of such pests now will not only stamp them out, but prevent their spreading. Weeds Can Be Killed. Experimental work carried on by the department recently has demon strated that these weeds can be killed by treating the infested ground with carbon disulphide. This treatment is practical for large pieces of ground it is too expensive, but for small areas in gardens 't is practical, and it pays. These perennial weeds not only trouble the gardener, but rob plants and flowers of food and water, tlius preventing their proper growth. Detailed information as to the use of carbon disulphide may be obtained without cost from the botany depart ment of the college. Generally speak ing, one gallon of the chemical is re quired for treating the average square rod of ground. Wlien the infested soil is right— neither too wet nor too dry and hard —the fluid is poured into holes 18 inches deep, dug in the ground at two- foot Intervals. The holes may be made by driving down an iron pipe about one inch in diameter, and about two feet long. About two ounces of tlie chemical should be poured Into each hole, and the hole Immediately Ailed in, so that the fumes of the fluhl may effectively kill the weed roots. Disulphide Evaporates Rapidly. Carbon disulphide evaporates very rapidly, and therefore only small amounts should be taken from the container at a time, and used quickly. The container cap should be kept tight .it all times. This chemical is also highly explosive so it should be kept away from fire. Especially should workers refrain from smoking while using it. Killing the weeds in the fall is much easier than in tiie spring after tlie garden is planted, for every time the plow or cultivator is run througli the infested area, parts of the weed roots are curried along, and the spread is quite rapid. Then, too, in the full there is no danger of injuring plant growth, since almost everything has been taken from the garden. Moving Large Trees Done Successfully Proper Attention to Details Is Quite Essential. (Prepared bv the United States Department of AKrlcolture-l Moving large trees was once regard ed as being so Uifticult that it was sel dom attempted, but by the use of modern equipment and the exercise of care, it can be done successfully, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The same attention to de tails is required as is needed In mov ing smaller plants, but because of the greater weight to be moved and the longer time required, both in prepara tion and moving, much greater at tention to details is necessary. Among -tlie essentials for successful transplanting are a good tree, includ ing a weii-devqloped root system and a healthy top; moving at the proper season: Deciduous trees wliile dor mant, evergreens when the ground is sullictently warm and moist to stimu late the plant to the Immediate forma tion of roots; properly dug trees with the roots well protected from tlie time the soil Is first removed until replanted; an adequate hole; the tree properly set and the soil suflidently tinned: tlie top properly pruned; and the soil properly watered until the tree is re-establlBlied. With the use of derricks, trucks, and an atiundance of protection for tlie bark and roots, the mechanical dilflcultles of moving large trees have been greatly reduced. ‘JJBrgiKnwriiiiili ufT ‘'lii|n Hur KnUiscJ Import* Col^ aad \ Beguty to Graj «nd Faded Haiij FLORESTON SHAMPOO — Ideal for um in connection i)hth Parker'* Hair Balaam.

Not Possible to Cross Gherkins and Cucumbers Gherkins and cucumbers contrary to the general belief do not cross; neither do watermelons and muskmelons. In fact true pumpkin and true squnsn crosses are rare even under controlled conditions where every effort is made to artificially produce a hybrid. Even though fruits result from such a cross they either produce no seeds or sterile seeds so that the crosed progenies will itiially perish. It is, therefore, safe to conclude that pumpkin and squasli crosses do not exist although It is possible to secure an occasional fruit which is the result of a cross. Different varieties of pumpkins, liow- ver, cross readily ns do also different •arletles of squashes. Farm Machines Better Than Those Years Ago Occasionally we still hear the re mark that the fann machines of to day are not so well built nor of as good material as they used to be years ago. but this idea only raises a laugh among the men who know. To be sure the quantity of material used fur less, but the quality and strength of material is far greater; and the machines of today are strong er and more durable, lighter Id weight and draft, more convenient and re liable in operation, and repair costs are far less. The Improvement in quality and reliability in farm ma chines lias almo.st kept pace with that of automobiles. Fall Plowing Prevents Erosion During Winter In fqll plowing it is Important to consider the lay of the ground In lay ing out the lands, so that erosion may be avoided to (he utmost during the late whiter and spring months, when (he groiiTid begins to thaw out and become mellow. It Is hard to realize Just «lmt an enormous loss of soil oc curs by wn.shing away during this time, even when precaution Is taken to prevent it. This is especially true on ground which Is plowed very late, and. on which no cover crop of vol unteer grains or grasses had time to spring up. Oat stubble plowed sonalHy early will develop a root crop of volunteer onts that protects the soil greatly, Barley for Steers Grinding barley w-ill not make bar ley equal to corn pound for pound ns a fattening feed for steers. Grinding barley will, however. Increase tlie value of the feed so much that It Is ncceided ns an axiom that barley should always be soaked, rolled, ot ground before feeding to stock. Nat- urnlly, tlie value of feed varies In different years, but In one experiment in Minnesota, where ground barley w-as worth 04 cents a Inishel for fat tening steers, barley fed whole was w-orth only 73 cents. Tree Fertilizing Apple and cherry trees need fertil izers as well as corn and potatoes. Our best fruit growers are applying sulphate of ammonia or nitrate ot soda every spring, but on the dairy farm where many fruit trees are grown, the fertilizer problem is an easy one. Manure can he put on now; (luring the winter months. Spread the manure under the branches. If piled up under the brunches mice may get in. Excellent Practice in Winter Care of Manure The best practice in handling ma nure is to haul it out and distribute 1 the fields every day. The at tempt should be made to cover the more level and rolling fields ns there ore of a tendency for the manure ash and leach away on the bill- sides. / There will doubtless be some days when it will be impossible to get into the Held with the spreader, and it will then be desirable to pile the manure until it can be handled and drawn out In building the pile, It is well to separate It from the regular barnyard that it can be built up in much the same manner as a stack of hay or straw. If spread out and improperly cared for, it will result in a very large loss of fertility, due to leaching and loss by fermentation. Fall Plowing Has Many Advantages to Farmer Fall plowing of land is advisable in many instances as It is more econom ical and not because It will increase the yield of corn In every case, ac cording to D. H. Huglies of Iowa State college. There are a number of factors in favor of fall plowing such as the teams are more able to do the work then as they are used to doing heavy work; there fe'more time in the fall llie pressure of the other work Is less and greater destruction of weeds and Insects Is secured by fall plowing. The character of soli Is a factor to consider In fnl! plowing, some soils run together la the winter and otliers wash badly. Other soils are heavy and and one cannot be sure of get ting to plow tivm In the spring. Silage Cannot Be Made Out of Dry Material Silage cannot be made out of dry material. A mouldy, ruined product ill be the result of the attempt. Wa ter can be added and silage made out of shock corn or cornstalks after ears are removed, but the amount added must he large enough approximately to replace that evaporated out of tho stalks. Some cun be gotten Into the silo by ruDDing a small stream Into the blower from a barrel, but this will not be enough for sufficiently welting a dry product. However it will be a great help where the corn has been allowed to become soiiiewhai loo ripe.

The father of the child had sat meekly and quietly through this dis- oiission, but could stand it no Jong- "Excuse me." be said. "We're not trying to get a name for a cigar, but for a child!” You should know this about oil, says mechanic The proper oiling of household de vices presents a problem different from any other form of lubrication. Sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, the electric motors of washers, fans, refrigerators and sim ilar devices have a tendency to col lect dirt and rust when not in serv ice. Consequently oil Intended for general household use should clean and pmtect as well ns lubricate. 3-in-One Oil will do these tliree things. For, unlike ordinary oil, It is really three high quality oils in one —animaJ, mineral and vegetable. It penetrates quickly, cleans the metal surfaces, ‘‘stays put", reduces wear and saves repairs. It also prevents rust and tarnish. Don’t make the mistake of think ing ‘‘any kind of oil will do”. Play safe; insist on 3-ln-One Oil.
