IT LOOKS LIKE TIMOTHY

SEVERAL COUNTIES REPORT IT AND IT IS HARD TO GET RID OF HAS SOME GOOD QUALITIES. Indiana farmers have a new peril to contend with, known as "quack grass," which is spreading over the etate and endangering all cro:B. The peat Is reported from various counties, and an agitation has been commenced by the farmers' institute which It Is hoped will arouse all farmers to the necesEity of wasins a warfare of extermination. "Quack grass" looks like timothy wheif young, but an easy way to distinguish it i.i to examine the roots. It makes a shallow and dense sod and throws out an army of root stelks, which. If cut In two, will sprout at every point. FieccH of the root carried across a field by the cultivator start growing whenever ther touch the soil, thus greatly Increasing the infected area. The grass ccts a start from the highway and hedges, and some railoada sow the grass nionz the right-of-way on new embankments to prevent a slide, the tenacious roots being very effective. Its der.se sod makes It Ideal for thi purpose., but where It spreads to the com or 'oats fields It works destruction. 4 RUSSIA. Czar dissolves Russian!

NOT ENOUGH CARRIERS

POSTMASTER SPEKENHIER AND COMMITTEE OF CARRIERS MAKE TOUR IN BIG AUTO TO INSPECT ROUTES. East Haven, Spring Grove, including Reid Memorial Hospital and all those just upon the outskirts of the city who will not place boxes at convenient points w-ere dropped from the city districts of mail delivery yesterday afternoon, and will hereafter be served by the rural routes as a result of an inspection and action by Postmaster Spekenhier. E. A. Dickinson, Lawrence Handler, Herbert Garrett, and Otto Sprong, organized as the Carriers Association of the Richmond PostofRce. These places will be servel by the rural deliveries ' which deliver their mail in the morning. The only difference will be the absence of the afternoon' mail. The party in Mr. Spekehier's motor car, toured all of he mail routes of the city which are traversed by carriers and measured the distance by cyclometer. The result fonrrd was that the carriers are doing more- work than their proportioned lot. in serving the above mentioned places, and the business districts of the city are suffering by late delivery of mails. It was found that the above mentioned districts are being abused in that the patrons who live some distance back from the road have not put up boxes at convenient points and the carrier has had to drive up to the house and back to the road again. This has caused a great deal of unnecessary delay. The carrier force is too small for the demands of the city, as there are only thirteen carriers, three of whom are mounted, The Postofflce Department at Washington has failed to take into consideration that' within the last six years the local office has gained $18,000 in receipts without an accompanying increase in the executive force. To the West side districts within this time, over two hundred houses have been added and the several factories which the South Side Improvement Association has added to that part of the city require additional time and labor in the delivery of their mails. These factories require the early delivery of mail which tends to run the distribution ficilities of the office to a close quarter. Eighty-five to Chicago.

W. J. Phillips, special representative of the United States agricultural bureau, is meeting with success in his work at the insectory on the farm of Walter Ratliff, north west of the city. Mr. Phillips is continuing the experiments begun last summer, when the experiment station was established. The work will be conducted until

late in the fall, when the cold weather has destroyed the most of the insects that are common to this vicinity. Mr. Phillips is confining his atten tion to the insects that prey upon the comon grains of this vicinity, such as wheat, oats and barley and clover. timothy and wild grasses. The insects are regarded as destructive to the crops and the government has established stations at various places in the country to study the small creat ures. ' The object is to prepare a life history of the insects from actual ob servatlon and if possible devise some method for frustrating the rigors of their attacks upon the grain and grasses. The study of the life of the insects is conducted from a collection of hun dreds of insects that are confined in twenty-five cages. Insect life in all stages is represented by the contents of the cages. Freshly laid eggs are to be found and also mature insects that are ready to begin the work of de vascation upon grain and grass. As soon as certain kinds of insects reach a certain stage of maturity, they are sent to the government insectory at Washington. Here they are placed under microscopes by experts employed for the work and their future development is watched. Investigations are conducted at regular intervals, so that after an insect has reached ma turity, the government has a history of its existence from the time it was in the form of an egg. It is claimed practical benefit will be the result of the investigation and that within a few years plans will be devised for the destruction of the pests. Won Two Games.

WILL BEGIN THEIR INSPECTION TO-DAY Slaughter Houses, Meat Mar kets and General Sanitation To Be Investigated. WORK TO BE THOROUGH DR. DAVIS SAYS THAT IF ANY VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW ARE FOUND, PROSECUTIONS WILL IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW. Slaughter houses, meat markets and the sanitary conditions of the city and county in general will be inspected this morning as a result of the recent order issued by Dr. J. N. Hurty, State Secretary of the Board of Health Dr. T. Henry Davis, president of the State Board, will have charge of the local investigation and will be assisted by Oscar Mashmeyer, Thomas Gibbs and John Seaman. Dr. George Grant will have charge of the county inspec tion. The committee will make a special ty of discriminating as to the qualities of the products of the slaughter and packing houses and as to the sanitary conditions which surround these oper ations. Also the sanitary conditions of the meat markets will be looked into. The pofnt which will claim the closest attention is that of the pre paration of the meats which are cann ed or stuffed and a strong endeavor to detect the uses of chemicals or other foreign substances in them will be made. In case that any of this is round the committee will send for an expert who will come from Indiana polis and make an analysis of the samples. If they are found to contain any foreign substances the firms or parties will be prosecuted. The law says that the use knowingly of any substan ces not absolutely . necessary to the meat will hold the users responsible Dr. Davis stated "if we find any of this in Richmond we won't fool with thew as they did at Indianapolis, but will have 'em in court on the jump." Weather Affects Produce. Local buyers say they notice the effect of weather of the last two or three days on eggs that come in from the country. There is an increase in the number of sun-hatched eggs. The same prices are being paid, but the market is weak. There is a diminution in the market supply of butter, athough it Is plentiful in thecountry. The shortage is temporary, due to inability of farmers to marketit until after harvesting. The quality, Sealers say, is not as good as usual because the usual time is not being ta:en with butter-making.
