FORESTERS FIGHTING POISONOUS WEEDS
The Wfos to the cattlemen In tho
( western states trom larkspur poison,
lng every year have been so serious
that the government is making a vig
orous effort to flnj an antidote for
the poison, as as to eradicate the
p!ant Itself.
In the Gunnison national forest,
Colorado, the losses to, the stockmen
last season from larkspur were con
servatively estimated to equal almost
five per cent of the total number of
cattle grazed upon that forest.
Its effects are almost Immediate.
Death follows the eating of the plant
within a few hours. For this reason
remedies are of little avail because
the animals are generally dead before
they are discovered.
Experts from the bureau of plant
Industry. In co-oporatijn with the
forest service, have made careful and
painstaking Investigations in the field,
with a view of lessening the losses as
far as possible, while several differ-
other national forests where the losses
from this plant are very serious, the
building of fences to keep the cattle
off the most dangerous areas Is being
pushed by the forest service, and will
be continued as fast as funds are
available for the purpose.
J. C. Thomas of Crawford, Coi.,
made an experiment In feeding the
l.-rkspur some years ago to determine,
If possible, Just what part of the plant
contained the poisonous properties
A yearling steer was fed a largo
quantity of the leaves, with no Injur
lous results. A few days later, the
si' me animal was fed a quantity of th,
roots and within 10 hours it was dead,
thus justifying the suspicion that the
poisonous matter was contained In tho
root.
Many methods for preventing the
damage have been suggested, but
probably the most successful Is said
tr be preservation with creosote. A
line of creosoted poles, opposite the
ojie near Covington, was examined,
and not a single hole was found.

Washington, Aug. 25. Someone
has been trying to "string" the far
mers of the country.
According to experts of the depart
ment of agriculture, the exploitation
of the so-called "Alaska" wheat,
which ls said to be about four times
the size of ordinary American wheat
In head, and to yield "under ordinary
soil conditions'.' 200 bushels to the
acre, Is almost as rank a fako as the
"Cardiff Giant."
For the past few months articles
glowingly descriptive of the , alleged
newly discovered grain, and predict
ing a - consequent revolution In the
wheat industry of the nation, have
been widely published In magazines
and newspapers.
Dr. Galloway, chief of the bureau
of plant Industry, thu,i explodes the
pretensions of the "Alaska" wheat
boomers:
"This variety of wheat has been
known for many years, both In this
country and in Europe. It has been
tried at several state experiment sta
tions In the western part of the United
States during tho past 15 years, but
nowhere have the yields, been high
enough to merit attention. It has
been grown to a very limited extent
on certain heavy, uridralned soils In
France for many years. In such lo
cations It Is said to yield better than
ordinary wheat, but as It Is one of
the poorest wheats known for making
flower, it Is never grown where ordl
nary varieties of the grain will
thrive" .

Will the people accept currency or
paper money Instead of silver for le
gal tender, gays the Yakima Republic-
This Is a question which the
banks of North Yakima are gradually
springing on the people of this city
and the thousands of residents of the
Yakima valley who do business with
the local banks.
About two years ago tho appropria
tion made by congress for the trans
portation of gold, silver and currency
ran ut.
In other words, there was so much
coin sent out from the sub-treasuries
to lie different banks of the
country and especially those banks on
the Pacific coast and in the north
west, that the money which congress
appropriates for the transportation of
money to the banks was depleted.
This resulted in the banks having to
pay tho express rates on all money
shipped to them frtfm the sub-treas
uries.
It means that every bank that re
ceives money from the sub-treasury,
and they ail do, must pay 50 cents on
every $1000 brought from San Fran
cisco where the sub-treasury of the
Pacific coast Is located. This rate
applies to gold, silver and curreny.
On gold and silver the additional
weight is charged the same as U
charged on any express package.
On the thousands of dollars which
are annually Drougnt to tne isortn
Yakima banks, the rate amounts to
a great deal anu it is nil loss to tne
i)Miik-. Therefore, as paper money
weighs very little and silver weighs a
great deal. North Yakima bankers,
according to H. C. Lucas, vice presi
dent of the Yakima Trust company,
are planning to ask North Yakima
people to consent to use paper money
Instead of silver dollars.
Western People Demand Sliver.
This Innovation, for it Is an Inno
vation In the west, will probably be
met with some disapproval. Western
peopie have never seen much paper
money. They either demand gold or
sliver, as a rule. Often when paying
tellers at the banks hand out cur-

Mrs. M. Gilmer, of West Union,

Lynn, Mass.
" I was greatly run down in health,
suffering1 from a weakness peculiar to
my sex. I began to take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
I was not only restored to health but
am the proud mother of a fine baby
trirl. I wish every sick and ailing
woman would give Lydia E. Pinkham's j
Vegetable Compound a trial.
Mrs. Paul Oliver, of St. Martin
ville, La., writes to Mrs. Pinkham :
' For years I suffered from the, worst
form of female troubles, and the doctor
said I could not get well without an
operation. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege

health, and I have the sweetest little
baby girl. I will never cease to
praise Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine."

HAY CROP FOR YEAR 1907
VALI EO AT' $713,502,000.
And speaking of hay, the year 1907
tho area mowed In the United Slates
was 44,028.000 acres; the average
yield per acre 1.45 tons, the total pro.
duct 63,677,000 tons, and the valu
1743,507,000, ust about the value ot
the cotton crop, which ln 1906 was
$721,647,237, says a writer In a farm
paper.
New York leads in the production
of hay, 6,896,000 tons. Iowa Is second
with 4,900,000 tons. Pennsylvania I
third with 4,568,000 tons.
Ohio produced 4,050,000 tons. MIs
scurl 4,060,000 tons. All the rest pro
duced less than 4.000,000 each. It
should bo observed, however, that In
the matter of tonnage, -per acre, no
state east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio equals Louisiana, that
yielded two tons per acre. Mississippi
per acre, beat New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Con
necticut and all the other northern
"hay states" out of sight.
What will tho physical energies of

are brought to perfection? There Is
