The Ness County Horticultural Society holds meetings often.

Running through the report of the last meeting, as furnished by the Neics, several subjects of importance loom Tin. Dams across draws, to improve the moisture of the atmosphere, were given favorable attention. Mr. Snyder thinks peaches can be grown out here if the buds can be kept from blossoming prematurely. In order to meet this difficulty, he has scraped the dirt nearly off the top roots of his trees, poured water in the basin thus formed, and covered the ice with a mulch.

The watering of trees in dry weather was considered. The sensi-hle conclusion was reached that a "bucket of water thrown occasionally afc-ihe base of a tree was apt to do harm, instead of good. In order to be desirable, water must be used in sufficient quantity to go to the bottom of the roots. One, member gave the apricota boost He thinks it has indications of.gbing.akead, of the peach.

Burleigh in Kan. Ag Col. Industrialist. While visiting Grainfield, recently, the writer enquired of the farmers and others as to the prevalence of the so-called loco weed. From these inquiries the follow ing history of the weed, as observed in that region, was ascertained: The weed first made its appearance about the ear 1875, and for several ears was very abundant.

After a time, how ever, it began to disappear, and now very littleis to be found. By some, the causa of tho disappearance was attributed to a "white grub," which could be found in the roots, cansing the plant die. Others, while pgreeiug that the plant gre less abundantly each jear, could not give any cause. Some thought that the plant is again increasing in amount, but no special facts were presented to support this view. The weed is "the first green thing to appear in the spring, and the last to disappear in the fall." This is supposed to account for the first acquirement of the After the for the plant was once acquired, the victim wandered around in search of it, and would eat nothing else.

Horsea were much more severely affected than cattle. Bat healthy horses would seldom, if ever, "learn" the habit from a "locoed" animal. On the contrary, if one of a herd of cattle became "locoed," others vonld learn the habit. This was supposed to be due to the fact that cattle show more curiosity as to what their, fellows eat than do horses. seldom died with the disease, bnt bebRm thin, hide-bound, anawera wholly unfit for beef.
