'3, FARM AND GARDEN TWO VARIETIES OF BINDWEED One Is Perennial and Other Annual, Latter Quite Common in Grain Fields-One Cure. There are two troublesome weeds known by the name bindweed, one be. ing annual the other perennial. The annual is quite common in grain fields. where it twines around the growing stalks. The perennial sort has finer stems but winds around the stems of other plants in much the same way as the annual. The flower3 of the perennial are small, about one inch across, white or rose colored. A pe culiarity is that careless cultivation in creases the trouble by carrying the roots from place to place. If the patches. when first discovered, are left without cultivation for a time then ploughed shallow and harrowed fre quently the weed may be kept in check. Where there are small patches con venient to buildings, one of the best ways Is to seed down to grass as quickly as possible, and then pasture Perennial Bindweed. with sheep or hogs. In fact, in deal Ing with this, as with other weeds, one of the most effective ways is to keep the land as rish as possible, then seed down heavily to grass, and not pasture too closely. This is the easiest way to get rid of most weeds. TIMOTHY AND RED TOP HAY Grass Should Be cut for Market Be fore Seed Ripens-Excellent for All Young Stock. Timothy should he cut for market before the seed ripens. F~armer-s usu ally get their wheat hauled into the bar-n before commencing to cut tim othy as the wheat is the more valu able crop, and should be hauled in be fore the gr-ain is damaged by heavy rains. When timothy is fully ripe, a good plan is to cut as soon as the dleW is off In the morning, rake upl in the aft ernoon and rack and the next day haul in or stack in the field. With a full force of hands this is the best and cheapest way, the hay is cut, cured and stacked beforeo it becomes so dry as to break in the handling of it. The side delivery hay rake, the rake load er and the hay for-k in the hands of comphetent men make quick wvork. Red top makes a slow gr-owth at first and ripens the latter part of July. It is Well to have a field of red top for win ter feed. 'rhis grass thrives best upon low damp) meadow land. If plenty of seed is sown, it will drive out almost all weedls andl grasses, and the land if deep1 au'd rich will give a heavy yield of fine excellent hay, which all stock are very fond. 'rThe tImothy and red top meadowvs shouldl not be pastured unless the see andc growth is luxurant. If possible the second growvth clover ihould he cut for .9eed, or for hay. The Becondl gt-owth of clover will make torses slobber in mid-winter-, but the bay is excellent for cows, sheep and young stock. Soil inoculation. Soil inoculation, said Dr. Jordan, Nas its place, bitt will net cover any itts of cultivation, fertilization, etc. [n the absence of the requtired special toil bacteria it will mend the soil en virontment so that certain plants wvill iave a chance to thrive. All station work should 1)e something more than lust skimmed over the surface to nake sonme sot of show. Stations are liable to pay too mutch attention to rariety tests and to tests of methods tlpplicable more or less to local con lilions. IHitching's orchard methods nay be profitable in one place and utt. erly worthless in another. Station torticulture should deal with general yrinciples. In plant breeding we want tomething more than simply now varn uties, a field that may' be left for pri rate enterprise. Drilling Manure. Never drill strong fertilizer, like sheep or poultry manutro in the rows next to the seed. Hetter plan to work it into the ground before planting or in the rows just after the plants appear and not close enough so t will tomh . MAKES A OOD CORNER POS1 One Shown in illustration is Easily Made and Quite Inexpensive Won't Harm Stock. (Ily (iiARLIDS M. CRANDALL.) To miiake a substantial corner post take another post. notching upright post near the top and set the other post at an angle with the top against main post, and the lower end against ground. then use a wire from bottom of main post to far end of slanting post and twist saine up tight, setting end of slanting post on a rock to keep it from sinking into the ground. If a tock isn't convenient a heavy piece of A Good Corner Post. board will do. Wires at a corner Is a menace to stock, whereas a post can be seen and will do no harm if the animals run into it. BUDDING IS DELICATE WORK Operation Requires Much Care fos Success and Should Be Done Be. fore Bark Sticks to Tree. The operation of budding must be done carefully to succeed. Use very shar) knife, cut out the bud witb a sh!eld of bark at least an inch long and there should be a little wood under the bud. The incision in the stock must be carefully made that the cut bark is not bruised.' After this bud is placed, the op eration may all fail from improper tying. The raila for tying should be wet tirst, then dried over night, draw tightly covering all the shield, but not the bud. Tie with double knot. After two weeks this string must be cut and removed, but at the same time the up per end the shield must be retied. The upper end unites with stock slowly and ofte.t loosens and rolls back. This means failure, so that the second tying is needed to get a good stand ol buds. This work is done in July and August always before the bark sticks to the tree, while it is loose and easily raksed. NEW GERMAN PLOW POPULAR One-Share Balance implement Chiefly Used for Plowing Along Hillside to Keep Furrows Even. The one-share balance plow. showi in this illustration, is of German make and is chiefly used for plowing along Plows in Either Direction. hillsides, so that all furrows are turned over in one direction, either upwards or downwards. In many districts of Germany, where farming is carried or along scientific lines, this plow is alsc used on level land in order to avoid the leav ing of open or division fur, rows. Mixed varieties of corn Is a bad, p~olicy. Disk stubble to a uniform depth und not too dleep. The so-called Canada thIstle is a na tive of Europe. Disk stubble when ground is moi on the surface. 'rile should be straight, cylindrical and wvell burned. Cowpeas and~ sorghum sown to gether constitute an almost ideal bal anced ration. Do not follow potatoes with pota toes. The soil should be slightly acid, mellow, deeply plowed. If the machinery wvas wintered in the field It will be more difficult toc get it ready for thIs season's work. Transplanting young plants toc early in the season is often the rea son that they act like dwarfs by be ing slow in starting to grow. The cowpoa, when mixed with corn makes good silage, and we have very) little doubt that the muixturo wvith kaf fir corn would make an excellent crop. Although sunflower seed is a good feed, the crop is not extensively grown --probably because it is so hard to harvest and the yield is not so great as that of corn. The farm team and the work oxe. should have extra care, shelter, well. lighted and aired stables that are kept clean. Give a good thick bed of straw at night. Dandelions may be kcilled in the lawn by .spraying with an iron sul phate solution made by dissolnfi two pounds of iron sulphate to earli rnunln of water. MRS.
