The experiment station of the University of Minnesota has conducted a lerles of experiments for the eradicaion of quack grass, which is a serious >est throughout the northwest. In some instances farms have had to be ibandoned to it. Following is a sumnary of the results of the experinents: Methods for successfully preventng the spread of quack grass and or eradicating it are based on knowlidge of Its habits of growth. Quack grass seed will grow even if :he plant is cut before the seed is nature. In order to prevent quack \\ >?jf\ I lHnHfflvJ'i QUACH OliASS. ? jrass from developing seeds to the joint where they will germinate, :rops in which it is growing should >e cut not later than the last week in fune. Young quack grass plants, attack;d before they have formed underground stems, are as easily killed a-i slants of wheat or other grains of he same age. Manure containing quack grass seed nay be applied od plowed ground beore preparing the soil fqr a cultivat;d crop. The seed will grow the >ame season, and the young plants vill be killed in the preparation of he seed bed and the cultivation of he crop. Digging by hand and removing from he field all portions of the plant, mothering with tar paper and sprayng with a solution of sodium arselite are best for the complete eradi:ation of quack gras3 on small spots. AH methods of eradication on large ields are based on thorough tillage. The implements found on any well 'quipped farm are all that are needed o eradicate quack ?rass. The most effective bare fallow mothid of eradication was plowing in July hVee or four inches deep, rcplowing lot laten?than Aug. 15 Ave or six inches leep and a^aiu in November six or :ovod inches deep. The disk was used is needed between plowiugs to keep he quack grass from showing green ibove ground. The cost of the addiiona! labor necessary for complete radication under this system was 19.(50 per acre. No crop was secured Tom the land that season. Complete eradication of quack grass vbile following a system of crop rotaion was found practical when more han the ordinary amount or tillage >vas given. Tillage given now and then when lothing else needs immediate attention s largely lost effort in the eradication if quack grass. To be effective there nust be a well planned and carefully arvied out campaigu with which other ivork is not allowed to interfere. Tillige operations should injure the quack rrass as much as possible and should le repeated often enough to make effective the work that has preceded. Eradication of quack grass on land hat has been plowed each year is more lifficult than on land that has been jndisturbed for a number of yeirs. In carrying out the different rotations i regular plan of "cleanup" to eradicate the quack grass was followed on ?ach field with uniformly successful esults. The plan was varied on three >t the fields to secure additional data. A four year rotation on four fields, ?acil one ID turn uaviug ill guacasnc rears grain, hay. com, and corn, gives ?xceptional opportunity for the eradication-of quack grass. This rotation an be followed to advantage, especlally on fields where quack grass is very rigorous or when weather conditions make the eradication unusually difficult. Storing Squashes. Squashes should be stored In a dry place at a temperature of about 50 decrees. Do not lay more than one deep un shelves. I Farm and j 1 Garden I X + K-H-I-M-H I-l-I .M-M-M-W' I-l-I-I' COMFORT FOR FARM WOMEN. The Simplest Way of Getting Running Water Into the Kitchen. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture^ The convenience and comfort of having running water at least in the kitchen and in the bathroom if possible are so well recognized that engineering specialists of the United States department of agriculture have been giving attention to the simplest as well as to the more expensive methods of saving the farm housewife the carrying of water in buckets from the well or spring up the porch steps and through doors into the house. Almost any system of obtaining running water in the kitchen is better than none at all. If the well or cistern is located within a short distance of the house about the simplest and perhaps the cheapest method is GOOD TYPE OP ELEVATED TANK. to place a pitcher or other pump over a'sink In the kitchen and extend the suction pipe to the well. The suction lift should not exceed twenty feet or the pump will not operate satisfactorily* if ut all. It should also be remembered that water flowing through a pipe meets with considerable resistance due torfrlction, which increases as the velocity of the water and the length of the pipe increase and as the diameter of the pipe diminishes. Elbows and bends in the pipe greatly increase the friction. Pump manufacturers give information In regard to this frictional loss, which should always be considered in arranging a pumping system in the kitchen'or elsewhere. An elevated water supply tank may be plated in the attic, on the roof, on the whidmili tower, on a special tower or on the silo. It must he high enough to give th? desired pressure at points where the water is used. The lank may he of wood or galvanized metal. Its sir.e will depend on the amount of water used daily in the house. A 250 to 500 gallon tank is sufficient for the average family, although some have a much larger tank, so that a supply suf detent to last several days may he maintained. A larger tank is also necessary where water is supplied to the house and barns. The simplest system of this kind is one with the tank in the attic or on the roof, supplying water to the kitchen only. When the expense can be afforded a hot water tank connected with the range may he placed in the kitchen and the water plumbing be extended to a bathroom. The pump for this system must be a force pump, which not only raises water to its own level by suction, hut forces it to greater heights, according to the power applied. The pump may be placed over the well or in any other convenient spot as Ion;; as tiie suction lift does not exceed twenty feet. A three way valve on such a pump permits the operator to direct the water to the tank or through the pump spout, as desired. The pump may be operated by hand, but where much water Is to be pumped to a considerable height a windmill, a small uas <4)jdne or an electric motor will save much time and exertion. If the location of the pump, nriiiph chonlrl hp convenient to the en gine. necessitates a long suction line the size of the pipe should be increased and all unnecessary bends or fittings avoided in order to lesseu the friction. The great objection to an elevated tank system is that in the colder climates there Is danger of the water in the tank freezing. This is particularly objectionable when the tank is located in the attic, where considerable damage may be caused if it bhould burst. It is also necessary to provide an especially strong support for the tank. Another objection is that if located In the attic the tank is likely to catch considerable filth. It should in such cases be easily accessible for more or 1 ? An*\<r? Cr If i ci nrftl 1 Q 1 CO less ii equcat wicauiug. ?v ? to cover the tank to prevent, as far as possible, the entrance of dirt and vermin, and when placed on a tower outside It should be covered to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. The great advantages of this system are its cheapness and simplicity. All that is needed are a force pump, a storage tank, a pipe from the pump to the tank, a pipe from the tank to the point at which water is used and acl companying fixtures. The tank should j have an overflow pipe, particularly 11 I located in the attic. BERLIN REPORTS ENTIRE SYSTEM TRENCHES TAKEN More Than Forty Officers and 1,200 Men Taken Near Verdun.

Paris/says the Germans were 'driven from'the trenches recently occupied east of the Hill and a Gerjman assault at Hill 207 was repulsed.
