Hogan, the elder, was doing useful work In the stables, since most of tho younger mon In the nearby llttlo mar ket town had enlisted. Ono day ho was sent by his employer to telephone to a dealer for various loads of hay, straw and oats. After many struggles with that tcrrlblo In strument which Is supposed to savo time, ho got Into communication with tho dealers at last. "I say, we'ro wnltin' fer that last order fer hay, straw and oats. Wo want it at once. Hay, straw and oats." Back came tho answer : "Very good. But who's it for?" "ArV, now.

King George of England Is making a collection which may some day prove very valuable. It Is a comploto set of the trench periodicals that aro being issued for private circulation by tho men at tho various fronts. Many of them aro extremely curious. TO hold "its place in the sun," is the avowed purpose of a great nation's conflict. To hold "its place in the 6un," is the object of every business in the great, fight for industrial and commercial supremacy. To be ableto hold "its place in the sun," is the supreme test of an asphalt roof. It is the sun, not rain or snow, that plays havoc with a roof. If it can resist the drying out process of the sun beating down upon it, day after day, the rain or snow will not affect it except to wash it clean and keep it sanitary. 1 Certain-teed MManVMBaaaMMaVnaaVem M Roofing takes "its place in the sun" and holds it lonecr than other similar roofing, because it is made of the very best quality roofing felt, th'orourhIy saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts, and coated with a blend of harder asphalts. This outer coating keeps the inner saturation soft,-and prevents the drying out process so . destructive to the ordinary roof. The blend of asphalts used by "The General" is the result of Ions; experience. It produces a roofing more pliable than those which have less saturation, and which are, therefore, harder and drier. 'At each of the General's big mills, expert chemists are constantly employed to refine, test and blend the asphalts used; also to experi ment for possible improvements. Their constant endeavor is to make the best roofing still better. The quality of CERTAIN-TEEb is such that it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply). Experience proves that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the responsibility of the world's largest manufac turer of roofings and building papers'.

Dealers should write FIGHT AGAINST WEEDS Constant Losses Gall for Vigor ous Crusade by Farmers.' , To Rid Country of Noxious Plants Would Put Agriculture Forward Almost Incalculably Simple Methods Effective. Tho fact thut formers nrc crying for relict from tho weed pent, nnd that tho government is trying to aid them, Is ono of tho encouruglug signs of tho dny. To rid tho country of weeds would put ngriculturo forward nlmost incalculably. An enormous amount of labor is In volved every year in tho extermination of weeds. Not only arc theso weeds trouhlesomo to cultivated agricultural crops, but they are troublcsomo In meadows and pastures. Tho comllelds and cultivated crops generally must bo kept clean if n crop Is to bo pro duced. Of course, tho farmer would want tt till his soil whether weeds occurred or not. A soil that is not cul tlvatcd would not produco a remuncr- atlvo crop. But tho weeds 'havo come to stay, and tho farmer must till tho soil to hoop tho weeds in subjection. Persistence by simple methods will bo more cffectlvo than spasmodic of' forts nnd oftentimes moro expensive Black Mustard. processes. While direct methods niuy often bo effective, tho most successful will be those having to do with tho conditions of agriculture and tho meth oris of tillage nnd increase tho pro ductlveness of the soil. Weeds grow whero they can. find room to grow. Some crops then per mit certain yecds to grow with them whllo another weed may find contreu lal conditions with another crop. TIiuh cocklo and cheat havo grown with wheat perhaps as long us wheat has been cultivated. Purslane hnd pigweeds aro always found In gardens, thistles and mulleins In pastures, whltetop In meadows. If tho pea vine, horse nettle, crab grass, foxtoll, ragweed, etc., becoino serious in the corntleld, sow it down to grass, ono crop in tho rotation do stroylug theso weeds gaining n foot hold with tho preceding crop. Thor ough cropping of tho land and Judl clous systematic rotation of tho crops, aro conditions against which no weeds can stand ; nnd, Inasmuch as theso aro all vital conditions of successful agrl culture, It muy bo said that weeds uro never serious when tho land Is well farmed. Purslane was cultivated for greens In Massachusetts and later taken to Michigan, whero It was grown for the samo purpose.

Black mustard Is n tall, coarse, much-branched annual, two to live feet high ; lenves variously divided, or only deeply cut the terminal lobo tho largest, sharplj toothed.

MUCH CATTLE FEED WASTED FallUre to Utilize Full Value of Mate. rial Increases Cost of. Meat Production. A vast quantity of feed ntallublo for cattlo is now cither wastcdabso lutcly or put to some less profitable use, according to n recent report of the deportment of agriculture. Fail ure to utlllzo tho full value of their material has Increased unnecessarily the cost of producing meat, has di minished the profits from cattlo feed ing, nnd has discouraged 'many farm ers from engaging In an industry es sential to their permanent prosperity, According to this report, tho loss in grain, straw and .corn stover amounts to moro than $100,000,000 annually. Doth of these products aro disposed of most economically wljcn fed to cattle in connection with some form of concentrated feed. Straw is especial ly valuablo In carrying tho breeding herd through tho winter, in .wintering stackers and no n supplementary roughugo for fattening cnttle. Stover, too, Is an excellent feed for wintering cattle, especially mature breeding cows. Nevertheless, in many section of tho country whero theso products arc abundant, llttlo attempt Is made to tnko advantage ol their value fos theso purposes. CLOVER AND ALFALFA BL0A1 Trouble Is Due to Fermentation of Sugar Contained In Blossoms Formalin Is Favored. (Dy DK, C. C. TAPP.) According to circular 0 of tho Ken tucky experiment station, it has been found that tho causo of bloat in cat tlo following tho eating of elthci clover or alfalfa pasture is duo to the fermentation of- tho sugar contained in tho blossoms. Bed clover blossoms contain about 8.0 per cent sugar, al falfa blossoms 2.8 per cent. Soon aft er being eaten, fermentation begins, resulting in tho production of a consid erable quantity of carbon dioxide. This distends tho first stomach or rumen and produces the condition known at bloat. Tho authors of tho Kentucky bulle tin strongly recommeud tho uso ol formalin for this condition. Ono quarl of a per cent solution Is given ns n drench. This 1 per cent solution It modo by adding three tablcspoonfuls ol formalin to ono quart of water. Gcntl exercises should bo given tho animal if posslblo after tho medicine has beer given. This treatment Is simple, snfe, anu inexpensive, and should bo kepi on hand so that it may bo used on a moment's notice should licccssity re quire.

Of the remedies commonly used foi llco on hogs, tho Nebraska college oi agriculture says that crudo oil la prols ably tho cheapest and tho most effec tive as It kills not only tho lice, buf the nits us well at one. application Tho most convenient method of apply ing is by means of u hog oiler, ol which thcro aro several good typcfi These havo the advantage of being alwuys ready und need little attention except keeping oil supplied.
