Medicinal Plants Teach the Value of Many Neglected Weeds By H. LUWATER. Chicago AS the spring time ever linked in your 'mind with sulphur and medical teas ? What a course of "doctoring" the youngsters used to get, not only in the spring but at other times! Most of those old but prized recipes had been hand ed down from one generation to another. They consisted largely of root», barks, herbs and the like that could he found in the fence corners, along the roadside or in mother's garden, and were gathered when in cer tain stages of growth. Has the use of these old-fashioned medicines gone not to return? No. The old motherly practice has disappeared, but I find the same simples are used by our most intelligent physicians and kept for sale in most drug stores. Dandelion, tansy and pokeweed are often prescribed for the same disorders that our mothers prescribed them. Oh, no, not by the old names, but under certain cabalistic characters, which the chemist under stands, but the reading of which would sound learned and potent to us laymen, if patients. I have often seen near Garfield park, on vacant lots, in masses of sweet clover, many of these medicinal plants, also in the gardens and waste places on the outskirts of the city. Theèe same simples are the bases of most of our best cough and vege table compounds, but instead of being made from good American plants they are generally manufactured from costly imported products. Why? Because the city man out of a job does not realize how money is planted under the roots of these plants; because the boy or girl living in the sub urbs does not know how to recognize these plants except as weeds and has never been taught when to harvest them. Many of them are pests, but still they are money-producing things if one knows how or when. Why should this and one other topic not be the subjects of occasional school talks with illustrations? A few minutes twice a week with prepared charts in place of many "frills" now used to kill time would impart mueh useful information. The two topics I refer to are: 1. Simple medicinal plants, how to find and when to harvest them. 2. Insects beneficial to man and how to recog nize them. w The manufacturers and other business men of this country would like to have business more rushing and not so quiet as it is at present. They can easily bring about such a condition of affairs, as it is a sjmple matter. All they need to do is to increase the wages of the producers so they will have the money to buy back more of the things they have produced. That would relieve the present stringency and times would become easier. Those who own the machines that the workers use for produc ing certain articles are all the time storing up more and more profits, and as they are in the minority nnd the workers compose the vast majority, the workers' proportion of obtainable money must necessarily diminish as fast as the wealth of the capitalist increases. When a panic comes the position of the capitalist is somewhat like that of the monkey who put his hand into a jar of nuts and got his hand so full that he was unable to withdraw it. The more selfish and grasping the money kings (and humanity at large) will become the oftener we will have times of depression and panics. Method for Making Business More Rushing By F. N. BLANCHARD The real object in education is to culti vate in the child a capacity for self-control or self-government; not a habit of submis sion to an overwhelming, arbitrary, exter nal power, but a habit of obeying the dic tates of honor and duty, as enforced by active will power within the child. In child hood and in youth it is of the utmost im portance to appeal steadily and almost ex clusively to motives which will be'operative in after life. In too much of our Habit of Obeying Dictates of Honor and Duty sys tematic education we appeal to motives which we are Bure cannot last; to motives which may answer for little children of six, ten or twelve, but which are entirely inapplicable to boys or girls of fourteen, sixteen or eighteen. Thus the motive of fear is one of these transitory motives on which organized education in the past has almost exclusively relied ; yet fear is a very ineffective motive with adults. By DR. CBJIM.ES W. ELIOT The application of the term "luck" has been extended to such a great degree that in many cases it is incorrectly used. While it is true that many instances of good or bad fortune can only be ascribed to "luck"—such as the finding of a purse or the loss of an arm by accident—the term cannot je used in cases where some one has had financial circumstances or position changed by application, education, ability as well as other factors. The True Meaning of Term "Luck** in Business It cannot be doubted that some persons are affected more than others by luck, but the meaning of the word should be By R. H. BARNES con fined within its proper limits and not applied to incidents controlled in one way or another by the actions of the persons so affected. A lawyer should only seek justice for his clients. By obtaining an acquittal for a guilty man he has defeated justice. Suppose a lawyer knows his client is guilty, and if convicted the sentence must be imprisonment; but he obtains a verdict of acquittal. The client is turned loose society, and commits other crimes while he ought to have been serving time for the first crime, is not the lawyer partly respon sible for his crimes? The knowledge that they can hire great lawyers to defend them has given encour- | agement to criminals all over our land. It ] is true, a lawyer owes a duty to his client, but if he knows the client is guilty he has fully discharged his duty when he has made clear all extenu ating circumstances, if any there be, connected with the crime, and has made a plea for as light a sentence as the court can pass for the crime committed. While the lawyer owes a duty w> !iis client, he also owes a duty to himself, to his profession and to society; he can best discharge these duties by laboring to obtain absolute justice for all.

RED CLOVER IS CORNERSTONE OF AGRICULTURE IN SECTIONS Constitutes From One-Eighth to One-Tblrdl of Total Area of Cultivated Lands on Most Successful Farms In Central. Eastern and Western States— Utilized ns Hay and Pasture;. (By J. M. WESTGATE.) Either alone or In mixtures with grasses for hay or pasture, red clover constitutes from one-eighth to one third of the total area of cultivated land on most successful farms throughout the north central and eastern states, as well as the western states. It does not give Its best re turns In the extreme south, nor Is It always quite able to withstand the more severe winters of the extreme north. For centuries It has constituted one of the Important factors In maintain ing a permanent system of agriculture In the old world. In this country for a century and a half It has assumed a more and more Important role In con serving the natural resources of the soil, thereby tending to maintain the profitable yieldB of the staple agri cultural products. Red clover Is utilized both as a hay and as a pasture crop and often as a soiling crop. It 1 b sometimes used as a green-manure crop to be plowed un 4» 9 • Sa 0* 01 3 e# v e # • •;» e 0 % • • '1* * • 7 8 » !?*♦ Si i to u 12 13 14 16 Seeds of red clover and common Im purities: 1, red clover; 2, trefoil; 3, curled dock; 4, lady's thumb; 5, lamb's quarters; 6, wild mustard; 7, wild car rot; 8, cloved dodder; 9, field dodder; 10, rat-tail plantain; 11, buckhorn; 12, plantain; 13, ragweed; 14, Canada thistle; 15, wild chicory. der If the ground Is poor In humus. Even where it is cut for hay and only the roots and stubble turned under it has a marked influence in increasing the yields of succeeding crops. It makes an ideal hay for cattle and in the clover sections should constitute from one-half to two-thirds of the roughage ration of milk cows. Sheep and young stock of all kinds piake ex cellent gains on either the pasture or the hay. In addition to its usefulness as a food for animals It has à most important effect upon the land in maintaining the supply of nitrogen In the soil. By means of the nitrogen fixing organism on its roots the red clover plant is able to gather large quantities of nitrogen from the air and leave it in the soil in a form which can readily be utilized for growing crops. If not Infrequently happens that the yield of a grain crop can be doubled by the growing and plowing under of a crop of clover. The most serious problem at present confronting the American farmer In many of the clover sections is the In creasing difficulty of successfully maintaining stands of clover upon the farm. With continuous cropping and the consequent depletion of the soil of humus and plant food the difficulty of growing red clover Is greatly In creased. This condition must be met and solved, since tbe loss of clover or its equivalent from the rotation leads rapidly to a run-down farm and un profitable crop yield. It should be emphasized, however, that tbe mere Introduction of red clover Into the farm rotation ie not In Itself a sufficient procedure to main tain Indefinitely the productivity of the farm. The clover plant adds only the nitrates to the soil, and removes large quantities of potash, phosphorus and lime from the soil, especially when cut for hay and the manure re sulting therefrom is not returned to the land The increased supply of nitrogen may In fact stimulate the soil to Increase yields, temporarily, only to leave It, after a few years. In a condition worse than If no clover had been grown. It la Important that considerable care be taken In choosing tbe seet^ to be sown. If poor seed Is used, the ex pected crop may be a partial or total failure. Peas and Tomatoes. Where there 1 b a good market for both peas and tomatoes these crops may be grown together to good ad vantage. The peas should be planted as soon as the ground can be prepared and tbe tomatoes are set after danger of hard froBt, which, In most sections of the north, will not be before the fifteenth or twentieth of May. If the rows of peas are four feet apart, two or three pea plants must be removed at the required distances in the rows to make a place for each tomato plant, I. e.. If the tomato plantsmre to stand four feet apart each way the plants will be removed at Intervals of four feet in the row. This plan has been used with entire success In Peun sylvanla. p< s A Well-kept Lawn. No scene please* the eye more than a beautiful and well-kept lawn with a comfortable farm borne In tb" center. Brooder Chicks. Cleanliness and ventilation are highly Important factors in raising brooder chicks. Red clover seed may be poor and undesirable from Beveral points of view. Such seed is constantly being sold to farmers and should be recog nized and rejected. U may be poorly developed, many seeds being Bhrlveled and dull brown in color. Suoh seeds will not produce plants. Often red clover is adulterated by the use of yel low trefoil, dead clover seed, cheap Imported seed or weedy screenings. Each of these constituents reduces the stand of healthy plants and makes the purchaser pay for what he does not get, transportation Included. He Is likely to get an undeslred crop of weedB, some of which may become a decided menace to his locality. Some of the weed seeds appearing In red clover seed can be removed by the farmer by the use of a wire-cloth sieve containing 20 meshes to the linear Inch. Most of the clover seeds of medium size are held back by such a sieve and practically all the smaller weed seeds pass through. The true clover dodder, which la a very noxious pest In clover fields, Is quite effective ly removed In this'way. Most of the seeds of the field dodder are also re moved. Seed or buckhorn, wild car rot, wild chicory, thistles, and others of Blmllar size are mostly held back by the sieve. The small-grained clover seed Imported from Europe largely passes through such a sieve. An easy method of separating buckhorn seed from clover has been devised. This method constats of mixing with the seed containing the buckhorn thor oughly wetted sawdust. The buck horn seed becomes sticky on being wet and readily attaches itself to the Baw dust. The entire mass Is then Imme diately screened, when the larger par ticles -f sawdust, with the buckhorn attached, are readily separated from the clover seed. This work should be done Immediately before sewing the clover Beed, which, with the small particles of sawdust that pass the screen, need to be dried only suffi ciently to enable the seeding to take place readily. This is an effective means of removing practically ajl buckhorn seeds and Is easily accom plished by the farmer who handles a comparatively small quantity of reed which Is nob necessarily bulked Im mediately aftr the somewhat damp seed has been screened out. WORLD'S YIELD OF INDIAN CORN Steady Spread and Development of the Crop Has Been Agri cultural Marvel of the Age. The steady spread and development of Indian maize into a world crop has been the agricultural marvel of our age. The corn of the Bible, the corn of Great Britain, is our wheat, not our "king crop." But all the world has come to know and bless the generous grain. Though upward of 86 per cent of the 3,500,000,000 of the 3,750.000,000 bushels, which constitute the world's yield, is grown In this coumry, Argen tina, Hungary and Italy, yet the culti vation of com has been gradually dif fused around the globe. Next to our western hemisphere and Europe the most important areas are now planted in southern and south eastern Asia, chiefly in British India, French Indo-Chlna and the Philip pines. In 1910 the Philippine crop amounted to 14,276,846 bushels. The culture 'of corn Is now general In Af rica. It Is the Egyptian fellah's staff of life, and is even produced for ex port In tbe Union of South Africa where the product Is known as "mea lies." In Mexico the tortilla, prepared from the çraln, is thç çblef food of the masses. Canada and Cuba raise com, and It is grown In a small way in Australia and New Zealand. Save In Ireland, It Is rarely used as human food throughout northern Europe. Outside of the United States the cul tivation of com is most extensive In southern Europe—centralized In s group of states comprising Africa, Hungary, Roumanla, the Balkan statei and Bessarabia, in southwest Russia —where the production ranges from 500.000. 000 to 600,000.000 bushels an nually. Corn is not only our king crop. It is also an uncertain and variable one. Last year, for Instance, there was a great decline In the world yield. The aggregate product of the four leading countries was more than 550,000,000 bushels less than the crop of 1910, and 200,000.000 bushels short of the returns for 1909. The yield in 1911 In the United States was about 355,000. 000 bushels and in Argentina about 148.000. 000 bushels leas than in 1910 There were relative shortages in Hungary and Italy. Stomach Impaction In Horses. According to a circular sent out by tbe Kansas State Agricultural Col lege a large number of horaes In Western Kansas, and It la presumed that this Is true also throughout the dry country, are dying because or stomach Impaction. President Waters of the Kansas Agricultural College is quoted as saying: "The substance Is leached out of reed grown In a long dry spell posed to successive rains." And Ue adds that this food Is, therefore, not so digestible and brings about an Im paction of the stomach which is fatal to horses and cattle as well.
