GETTING RID OF A PEST.
How Vormont Hbb Found Meant of
Fighting Wltoh or Quaok Grata.
Witch gross or quack gross (Agro
pyron rcpons) Is oiro of the worst
woods, by many deemed the worst,
found In Vermont tillago areas. Tint
combat therewith Is dlillcult, but nut
Impossible. It la costly, but less so
than to permit tho unrestricted growth
of tho weed. Tho Vermont agricul
tural experiment station learned that
a Windsor county farmer had suc
ceeded In practically eradicating It
from his farm by tho employment of
a cpoclnl system of soli tillage br cul
tivation which was essentially the
product of his own observations. A
season's work by the station resulted
In almost annihilating the pest on the
trial plots and In producing enough
corn over and nbovo that grown on
the untreated areas to pay In Borne
cases the entlro cost of the extra la
bor Involved. The complete eradica
tion of the weed often Involves two
successive seasons' work, the second of
which is of tho samo character as the

flrat, only less expensive nnd laborious.
The following Is a summary of the
methods pursued:
Itldglug the rows Just before the
corn sprouts, using a disk hoe or any
other tool which makes a ridge over
the row.
Cultivating three days luter with a
tfvo toothed cultivator or a heavy two
horso hoe, carrying side hoes, such as
potato hilling hoes turned backward
(see the cut), drawing the soil away
from the Bldo3 of the ridges previous
ly inado so that the subsequent har
rowing can more effectively level
them.
Harrowing or weeding (preferably
tho former) the samo duy.
Cultivating twice thoroughly a week
or ten days later.
Weeding the same day, still further
leveling the ridges uud Improving the
soil mulch. ,
Cultivating thoroughly nnd shullow
every week or ten days thereafter, ho
long as It can bo doue without Injur
ing tho crop, tbo oftener the better.
Hand hoeing In mid-July.
PARSNIPS IN COLD WEATHER.
Let Them Remain In the Bed During
Winter and Freeie.
Parsnips require no attention what
ever during the winter. In fact, best
results are obtulued by leaving them
tu the bed during the winter and allow
ing them to freeze. The grouud should
bo cleared of weeds in the fall.
After tho last hurd freeze throw a
few forkfuls of straw over the tops
and leave till tho ground thaws out in
tho spring. Tho mulch prevents freez
ing nnd thawing If the winter is an
open one. Where the roots are desired
during tho winter they should be dug
or pulled und stored in the vegetable
cellur.

AUTO TRUCK ON THE FARM.
Many Uiea Found For Thla Type of
Motor Driven Vehlole.
Although tho ordinary tonncau type
of automobile is rapidly coming Into
general use on the farm and has proved
its value for servleo as well ns pleas
ure, there Is one form of recent de
velopment, tho auto truck, that has
not received from farmers tho atten
tion it descrres, says the Farm and
Ranch. This form of car is rapidly
earning u placo for Itself In the cities
ns u general delivery and hauling
wagon and is destined to become ns
widely and favorably known on tbo
farm, for it is an ideal general pur
poso car and has many advantages
that recommend it for everyday farm
use.
A car in daily uso on a COO aero
Matagorda county (Tex.) farm is a
light auto truck that has proved Itself
to be one of the most useful pieces of
equipment on the farm. The car In
question is a two cylinder, twenty-two
horsepower model, with engine nnd
working parts Identical in all respects
with thoso of the usual tonncau type.
Tho tonncau, however, Is replaced by
an express wagon body about 7 feet

by 4, and fitted in this way the car
will carry loads of up to a ton in
weight over the average country dirt
road at a speed of from three to twen
ty miles an hour. Its added hauling
capacity in no way Interferes with Its
use as n pleasure car, as it can bo
very easily converted by the addition
of n couple of surrey seats built to fit
on to the body and which can be put
on or taken off In a moment llko tho
ordinary hack seat. So rigged tho
truck can enrry six or eight persons
comfortably, covering as much ground
lu n day's run as the average road car.
The truck is used for all the hauling
vxcept the very heaviest, and the work
Is done so much more rapidly than by
team that there Is a very marked sav
ing in time, than which no other item
on u farm runs more quickly Into mon
ey. In addition to the direct saving in
time an important feature in the use
of the motor Is the fact that in busy
seasons all of the mules cau be used
exclusively for field work and there Is
no necessity for breaking Into the reg
ular plowlug, cultivating or harvesting
outflts just when they are most need
ed lu order to get teams to do the va
rious hauling Jobs that are always
coming up at such inconvenient times
or to make unavoidable trips to town
for freight, supplies, repair parts, etc.
Make Every Straw Count,
It Is possible for careless help to
leave a considerable portion df the
grain crop In the field by neglecting to
gather up scntterlngs, loose bundles,
etc., nnd by hauling grain on open
bottom racks. From a few pounds
to a few bushels of grain may be
saved every day, during stacking, by
using a tight bottom rack or a can
vas over the rack that will catch all
of tho gruln that is shattered out' of
tho heads. Orango Judd Farmer.
Feed Costs More Than Care.
Ruild good hoghouses before bad
weather sets In. Houses In the end are
cheaper than feed nt present prices,
nnd hogs will not do their best when
compelled to sleep out of doors lu bad
weather, A good feeding floor pnys
well. Enough feed Is wasted on the
nverago farm by throwing it Into tho
laud and slush to pay tho mortgages.
