FREEING LAND PERMANENT LY FROM NUT GRASS > '“ls there anything to be done that will permanently rid land of nut grass?” Yes. Destroy it and never allow it to grow and seed. That is what i have done on a large garden. My garden was a mat of nut grass when I bought the place. Today there is no nut grass and there has been none for years except one spring when 1 bought some man ure infested with nut grass seed, and it grew as thickly as wheat or eats. This was easily destroyed as it had made no nuts. It was destroyed as fast as it showed and the garden was again clean of nut grass. On the farm the plant can be destroyed and the land kept clean of it if a rotation of crops is followed that brings in smother ing crops of clover and other things in the fall and winter and peas in summer. If crops are laid jby and nothing sowed, the nut gi'Atss seeds late in fall and thou sands of plants come from seed to every one that grows from the nuts. Spring plowing, summer clean cultivation, fall plowing and sowing a smothering crop and winter cover, and never a chance left for the nut grass to get a start, will drive it out and keep it out. Good farmers here are not bothered with it. but some fields are full of it. A friend, a lawyer, showed me a place on a farm of his that is cultivated by tenants and of course not tiled the best. It was thick with nut grass and Bermuda glass. The field was in corn. I told him that if he would look carefully be would see that where the Bermuda and sedge known as nut grass were most plentiful, there was the best corn in the field. Simply because while he was neglecting to maintain the humus in the soil. Nature was try ing to furnish some through the rapid growth of these plants and the necessity for the farmer to work faster to keep out of the grass. In most eases on farms the presence of nut grass is due to the absence of a rotation that puts smothering crops between all sale crops and keeps the land so crowded with valuable crops that the nut grass has no chance. Some here have found that sweet pota toes will smother nut grass out as well as any other crop and can be successfully grown on the same land for several years.

THE FARMER WHO DOESN T GET ALONG.” We visited the home of a farmer the other day who doesn’t “get along;” in other words, a farmer who has never made money and is not likely to make any. In the example of futile farming this man gives to the world, there are many lessons that the open-mind ed agriculturist may learn to pro fit. The millstone about this man’s neck is his metal life or attitude. If anything goes wrong with a machine, the fault, in his estima- tion, is always with the machine and not wdth Ids method of oper ating it. ov the condition of the land, or the machine's state of re uaiit Jf P°ot‘ results are obtained from labor, lie questions tlie interi-' lions, integrity, lionestv and char acter of every man under his sup ervision. lie cannot st-e that lie himself is at fault for “rubbiljg folks the wrong way.” A failure is corrected on this farm by a tongue-lashing, garnished with profanity, for any man or machine that takes part in a failure or a mistake. All this would he laughable if it were not so tragic—-did it not show a spirit so utterly hopeless and pitiful. And. worst of all, this mental disease has a hold on many many farmers besides the one we mention. But how different are condi tions on the farms where mana gers have an inquiring mind and a confidence that every obstacle may he overcome. If the riding cultivator doesn’t work, is the machine itself in for a cursing? Not at all. Inquiry or investiga tion is made to see what is the trouble. It may be that the ground is too rocky, or that the land has been well prepared, or that some adjustment is needed. The condi tion that stands in the way to suc ceed is sought out and obliterated, and the use of the machine itself not abandoned. Many good imple ments all over the farming world are stored away and branded fail ures simple because the owner has not gone to the trouble to find out why they did not do the work they were intended to per form. In this way the wise agricultur ist will seek the cause of every failure, whether of man, or beast,- or implement, and for him there is bound to he a true success in deed. We would not dare ask that you tell us to which class of farmers you belong. It’s none of our busi ness. But you should ask the ques tion of yourself and then answer it honestly in secret. If a change of mental attitude will enable you to make more money, enjoy great er happiness, and revel in a “peace that passeth understand ing’’—then why deny yourself these things?—The Progressive Farmer.

TWO SHORT SERMONS—By Charles Stelzle. t f “TO BIND IT THE BROKEN HEARTED.” Comfort is one of the world’s grfcctest needs, and yet it is one of the world’s rarest gifts. * When sorrow enters in, what has the world to offer? Nothing— it withdraws. It closes the curtain It shuts the door. It leaves us alone. It doesn’t even know how to mourn, and so in some countries it hires men to mourn—professional ly. It puts crape on the door, and adds gloom to the heart—it re signs. It has no mission. Even its com mittees stand mute—they don’t know what to say. Its pleasures recede—they do not function. They mock. They hurt. They make one heart-sick. At such an hour f'hi istianitv knocks at Ihe door.- Jt comes in. It sits down—“to comfoft mourn, to bind up the brokeit j hearted.” This is the program of Christ ianity. This is why it wins, for it lias almost a monopoly of comfort. —* *l. ‘‘FINDING GOD” Christianity is the result of Clod seeking man. AH other religions are the result of man seeking God. Men have looked for God in ev ery hush, in every tree, in the eyes of annuals, in the sun, the stars, the moon—in the idols which they themselves created.
