ONE OF WORST WEED PESTS
Horse Nettle Ranks with Canada
Thistle and Quack Grass One
Method for Eradication.
Wo arc agtiin in receipt of our old
friend, tho horse nettle. This tlmo It
is n central Iowa correspondent who
Bonds us tho prlckly-lenfed, potato
blossomed weed, says Wallaco's Far
mer. He says that in tho locality
there Is only ono patch, and It is but
sixty feet square. Ho wishes to know
bow to get rid of the weed.
As nil of our older readers know,
horse nettle ranks with Canada thistle
and quack grass as ono of the worst
of tho weed pests. It is degenerato
relntlve of tho potato and tomato,
which spreads not only by abundant
soeds, but by strong underground
ootstorks. The only way to deal
Horse Nettle.
With sUch a pest Is continually to pre
vent the leaves from spreading them
selves out In tho sunshine. Everything
considered, probably tho best method
for our correspondent would be to
take a sharp hoe and go over the
patch every ten days, cutting off ev
ery horse nettle plant just below tho
eurfaco of tho ' ground. This treat
ment is troublesome, but with such a
small patch it probably is the safeot
and best.
CAUTIONS FOR CEMENT USERS
Among Other Things Do Not Allow
Material to Freeze Before It Is
Properly Hardened.
Never expose freshly made concrete
to the hot summer sun. Avoid too
rapid drying out, says tho Amorican
Cultivator.
Do not allow it to freeze beforo it is
properly huidoned.
Do not uso soft sand stono or brick
except for filler In largo work, and
oven then with discretion.
Do not apply fresh coment to old
and hardened surfaces without first
thoroughly soaking with water and
hacking a rough surfaco on it. Cleanse
thoroughly and then apply a very thin,
neat cement wash.
Do not attempt to retemper and uso
concreto that has stood too long in
the mixing board and attained Its set.
Use a uniform Portland cement and
give attention to uniform methods of
working and the results will be uni
form. TIso a finely ground cement. The
finer tho cement tho greater covering
properties It possesses and tho more
and It can carry. An excess of ce
ment is unnecessary, as n thin, even
coating is all that Is required.
Do sure to mix thoroughly. Many
faulty jobs are due to poor mixing.
Do not be afraid of overdoing it, as
longer mixing permits of 'using less
cement.
REMOVING A HEAVY HAY RACK
Excellent Method Is Described and Il
lustrated for Performing Job
Without Much Hard Work.
In order to removo n heavy hay
rack from tho wagon nnd to reload
again "without any lifting, tako two
2x6 pieces, eighteen feet long, two
Bhort and two longer posts. Set the
posts ubout four feet apart and spiko
on long pieces as shown in tho Illus

should be just high enough to como

Selecting Proper Fertilizers.
Thousands of dollars aro wasted In
commercial fertilizers ovory year, not
becauso tho fertilizer Is not all
right but becnuso wo do not know
whether tho kind wo uso is tho kind
our land needs. It Is a great study
jjnd ono that wo must mako for our
selves. Make some simple experiment this
year. Put in a strip with fortillzor
you havo been In tho habit of using,
and just bosldo it another without It.
This will bo worth a great deal moro

CAREFUL DRIVER OF HORSES
Some Men Can Get More Out of Ani
mals In One Round With Plow
Than Another Will In Two.
How many acres of tillablo farm
land will one horso work? This, of
course, depends on tho kind or tnrm.
lng done, on tho kind of machinery
used and on tho efficiency of tho man
who works tho horses. It would not
bo dimcult to nnd 100 ncros of till
ablo land worked In ono caso with
two good horses and from this on
up to six work horsos. Probably moro
depends on the ubllily of tho driver
to hnndlo his horses than nny othor
ono thing. Somo drivers will tnko
more out of their horses at ono
round with tho plow than another will
in two rounds. In ono caso tho plow
ing is done In a haphazard sort of
wuy, the horses nro tangled at tho
ends, nro backed and turned un
necessarily, aro Jerked viciously when
out of lino, and possibly tho harnesses
do not fit properly. In tho othor
enso tho horses nro given a steady,
true gait which Is kept up, tho turns
are smooth and without yelling and
Jorklng and tho driver watches the
working of his plow and fit of his
harnesses all day long. No team
should bo worked over an hour at
hard pulling before tho harnesses nro
looked over to sec that all parts set
properly. To somo this carefulness
comes naturally; to others it never
will como. Efficiency In tho driver
means efficiency In tho team, and It
is a pleasures to seo horses worked
well.
HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP WELL
Wall Can Be Laid Five or fclx Feet
High, Arching It at Top With
Large Stone for Covering.
It is impossible to drive a pipe for
a well in some localities, and stonea
aro scarce to lay a wall in a dug well,
writes J. II. Andre of Wisconsin in
tho Farm and Homo. In such eases
tho wnll can bo laid 5 or G feet high,
arching it at tho top with large stones
to 15 or 18 Inches in diameter, and
cover it with a largo Hat stone, a,
with a hole in the center to admit a
G-lnch pipe. Place a stone, b, in tho
bottom of tho well IS Inches in diam
eter nnd 4 Inches thick. Concreto is
best. Muko u concreto cono, c, 3 foot
long, 10 inches In diameter, at tho
bottom, 3 inches thick and of it sizo
to fit the bell end of an 8-lnch sewer
plpo at tho top. Tho large end of tho
cone will need openings In tho side to
alio? the water to enter irfly when
pumping. Placo tho large end of the
cono on tho stone.
Tho first length, d, of sower plpo
can bo 8 inches. When the pipe, o,
reaches above whero the well is
stoned it can be reduced to G Inches a
few lengths nnd then f to 4 Inches.

Making Cheap Well.
Four feet of tho plpo at tho top of
the well should bo iron to nvold
breaking when handling tho pump.
Nearly all of tho dirt can bo placed!
back in tho well which saves the ex
penso of drawing it away. When plac-'
ing tho dirt back in tho well keep a
round stick In tho plpo as large as
the plpo will admit. This will keepi
the sewer plpo straight and it need'
not be put in placo faster than tbu
well is filled up.
More Profitable System.
If the fnrnwr would cultivate tho
garden better, nnd thus havo somo of
tho many dollars ho spends for tho
provisions it the store articles hoi
could easily grow his field products
would como nearer being clear prof
its than under his present system.
Saving the Manure.
Suvu all tho manure and apply It
where it will do tho most good. One
reason why there arc so many poor!
farms is because there Is so little
manure to mnko tho land richer.
This nlso explains why thoro nro so
many poor farmers.

Architects nro applying thomsclvcs
assiduously to the problem of supply

homes. In nil parts of the country
more houses of what might bo called
tho mlddlo class are being built than
other styles. The designs show orig
inality and in every caso there is evi
dent the effort to make housekeeping
easier, in fnct, a pleasure. Too often
It is found that lnteriqr convenience
Is sacrificed to exterior ornamentation.
Many times moro effort is given to
mere show than to utility and con
venience Tho days of tho old parlor aro past,
Tho old parlor was a room Bhut oiT
from all other rooms and it was
opened only when the minister callud,
when sister got married, or when tho
sowing society mot. It was a room
jealously protected against Invasion
by tho youngsters of tho household,
and If one of tho boys ventured across
tho dead line nt the doorway, thuro
was 'nothing short of a trngedy.
But tho peoplo havo outgrown this.
Now, if a parlor exists it Is lived in
just liko any other part of tho housn.
The houses built now, even if they
are supplied with a parlor, aro Intend
ed to bo lived in all over. This Is a
sign that proves the home, always the
bulwark of v civilization, Is growing
still nearer to tho hearts of the peo
ple. It is the surest indication of tho
stability of our Institutions. Even
the summer tourist who travels tho
country over In search of pleasuro and
visits all the resorts, when ho comes
to nnnlyzo his feelings, comes to tho
conclusion that tho greatest pleasure
ho has In going away from homo is
(ho pleasure he has of returning to

NIAGARA FALLS ONCE DRY
Occasion When Ice Was Too Much
for Even the Vast Flood That
Pours Over Ridge.
Only once in history has tho roar of
tho mighty falls of Niagara been si
lenced. This startling phenomenon
occurred on March 31, IS 18. Early on
that morning peoplo lliug near tho
falls woro surprised by a strange
hush, as startling in effect as would
Jjo nn unexpected and tremendous ex
plosion In un ordinarily quiet com
munity. Many persons thought they
had been afflicted with deafness, and
all wero oppressed by a sensntion of
dread.
With tho coming of light the ntnnz
ed peoplo comprehendpd tho renson
for tho disquieting sllcnco. Where
they woro used to seo tho great fall
was a bare precipice down the face
of which a few small and constantly
diminishing streams trickled. Above
tho falls, lnstond of a rushing river,
was only a naked channel, with in
significant brooks splashing among
tho rocks. All day long this nstnund
lng condition continued, and persons
wulked, dryshod, from tho Canadian
sidu, along the very edgo of tho preci
pice, ns far as Goat island, on the
American sldo.
Early In tho morning of April 1, tho
familiar thunder of the great cataract
was again heard, and has never slnco
been silent, though similar conditions,
with ltko results, might prevail nny
spring. Tho winter of 1847-48 was
one of extreme severity, nnd lco of
unprecedented thickness formed on
Lake Erie When tho break-up came,
townrd tho end of Mnifth, it strong
southeast wind was blowing, and the
lco wns piled Into banks as largo as
Icebergs. Toward tho night of March
30 tho wind suddenly changed to tho
opposlto direction, increased to u ter
rific gale, and drovo tho lco Into the
entrance of Niagara rtver with such
force that a hugo dam was formed, of
such thickness and solidity ns to be
practically impenetrable, and strong
enough to hold back tho great mnsh
of water pressing ngalnst It. At last,
in tho early morning of April 1, the
lco dam gave way under tho tremen
dous pressure of restrained wnter, and
tho falls wore onco ngaln ono of tho
scenic wonders of tho world.
