It is secured easily and naturally by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, but is.im possible to get it from so-called “ nerve tonics,” and opiate compounds, ab surdly advertised as “ blood puri fiers;” They have temporary, sleeping effect, but do not CURB. To have pure Blood And good health, take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which has first, last, and all the time, been advertised as just what it is the /best medicine for the blood ever pro duced. Its success in curing Scrofula, Salt Bheum, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Nervous Prostration and That Tired Feeling, have made Hood’s Sarsaparilla The One True Blood Purifier.

A Good Plan For lb Eiadlsallaa Given by (1:q CAiDitiinfijiior. Question'. — I have reverul patches of Johnson grass in my cult.vativl fia’.tis, which I fear will cause me trouble. Can yon give no any go al plan fur er.uli catiug it? Answer —On account A? its ▼*.s•. rous habit, and long anl deep growing jointed root-r, Johnson grass hus -boon fouud difii ml! to manage, wiiero ones if has takou o upfijto p :>:■ Osslon of a pieo-a of land.

A few days since wc no ticed on the samo so t dozens of little spears yjishi'i;.' their way through the rich soil, apparently ns vigoiv/a, as at first. About tub: lime wo were advise I -to try the following plan, which is said to have boon entirely successful, .and certainly snore prua.fic.il cu hvrger areas than digging up the roots: Tho plan iq simply to shavo off the surfaoo growth close to tho ground, repeating the pro cess as fast as the gr.ms attains a height of 8 ot'3 hv-li-Is. At first it will reap pear, apparently a> thrifty as ever, but after the third or fourth cutting itvigor will diminish and if wilt finally ceo-se to grow.—fitata Agricultural Depamuout. Jdliiiiioii Gra44* Question. - Docs Johnson Grass make good k"r? V/onld you advise mo to ’’ plant i: * Answer.—Johnson grass make* most excellent hay, if cur-.at the proper time, ■and stock are very fond of it. It also affords n very early and excellent pao tr.ro Hogs pro also fond of tho cane iike roots, and no amount of rooting by thorn injures the grass. It should be cut for hay before going to road, for then the leaves and stems are too.oourso and woody for use. It should Be cut when young, say when about two fast tig’ll, and can bo erft several times dur ing the season. nil that, can be raid iu its favor I advise you not to* plant it, from the simple fact that when once it gpts a foot? hoisL it is almost ii%y p-.i:;ib;e to eradicate it, <& to keep it frg^| vacate the phihtiiig of this grass because 1 cf tho largo yield and excellent quality of the hay, but there are more who would cheerfully pay a reward to have every vestige of this grass removed from their farms. It is claimed that it can be eradicated by “pasturing it closely through the summer and then iu tho fall with a big plow turn up the roots to the winter freezes, renewing the plow ing once or twice during the winter and then plant and cultivate a hoed crop ou the land the following spring.” My own opinion is that when once it gats a good foothold ou a farm it is practically impossible to get rid of it, ttotkalhii st equally impossible to keep it from spreading over the surrounding country. If you have bottom lauds li able to annual overflow, where no other crop is certain, you might put it iu Johnson grass for a permanent meadow, and if you will take the trouble to pre vent any from going to seed you can confiue it to the field you wish to devote to it. —State Agricultural Department. your doctor.

We wish also to call attention to TWO TYPOGRAPHICAL EBBORS. 1 In the Animal for ISDo, issued from this Department, there is a typograph ical error in the article oa ’‘Terracing,” pn;ia 129. Through an rtTor of the printer tho fall given is eight feet in stead of three feet. The latter is tho correct figure. A person with some ex perience in terracing; would nt once un derstand that the fall -was entirely too grout, hut be:;in ner i might bo misled. !}. The second error is in the estimate of tho per cent of potash necessary in fertilizing corn, page 32. Tho formula ns printed reads: Nitrogen, 2 per cent; potasH. 7 per cent; ph'/sohorie, acid, 0 per cer t—too much potash. It should be: Nitrogen, 2 per eont; > p itasli, Bto 4 percent; phosphoric acid, 0 percent. the /Fair, paoui fi. The almost unprecedented drouth of t’ a past mouHi, wliilo it has given op pmtunity for carofudy planting tuo crops, h is in many ciuejs seriously inter fered w.th their proper germination and early cultivation and also retarded their growth.

A 'v. and of tho impor tance of rapid tt tivutbm of the crops, the foTnviag if .au, suggested by Ui rectrr Bedding of tho Bxpcrimout Sta tion, is most opportune, and wo give it place here, becatiso its suggestions if followed will do' much to prevent, the dreaded calastropho of crops overrun with gross, when tho mouth of June (pei;s.

Progres sive farmers veiygeperaliy understand that the breakiiigYrv-uther deep plowing of the soil should be done before the crop it phjuted; and that the cultiva tion of the growing crop should be shal low, the object being simply to keep t he surface, to the deptli of an inch or so, in a mellow, pulverized condition. To do this most effectively and economi cally a wide spreading, shallow running implement is required. Wo have found a very satisfactory tool in the Planet, Jr., Cultivator, although there are doubt less others that ate cqnally effective. ‘.‘ln a 4-fpot earn or cotton row, the ■oil already well broken and in good, mellow condition, one trip with sucli an implement, or one time to each row, is dll that should be given when going over the crop. A lively mule or home will easily go over ten acres, or even more, in a'day. -•v.-.nen using a cultivator that will practically stir the entiro width of a d fcot or a foot row, it would bo noor economy to make a full round trip to each row. simply iu order to perfectly ‘side’ each row of plants.

Wlt.it is the remedy for ludlnwhont and hoilnwtail? Answer. —Murrain is known by v.t rious names, according to tlie nature of the al tacit and tho location of the dig ease. Thus it is BltickLog, Black 1 Qviaitar, Black To.nyuo, Bloody Mur rain, Oharbqu, Oarluuculur Foyw, oto. It is a .cojnmou and nmlignr.ut, and therefore to bo droadod. Tho if mjiioms uro varlona; the follow* igg are .l-mo of them: Tim jiuimal tho back or neck or on tho logs, wbioh, when rubbed by tho hand, fool as though air was under thtf s'.ari. The nuimol lios or stands quietly, refusing to move. Tho bowels become coiistlpated aud tho urine highly colored, sometimes bloody. The pulse is qulok, from 103 to 1 iO beats a minute. Tho animal usually dies in h few hours. Tho disease is most common among cuttle under i) yours of ago, Very little can bo dono in tho way of curing this disoiwo. Tho host treatment is chiorato of potassium in from 8 to 4 drachm dose*, dissolved in wnfi'r, and given every three hours. Whisky, ether and quinine are also given, whore tho animal shows great weakness. Asa rule, all treat mont is unavailing, auil death is sure aud speedy. As for the treatment of heUowhorn, I will quote from a prominent veterinary surgeon cf Atlanta. “No time or spa-'o will lie takon up with this subject, as it is really a very wrong idea. The cow’s horn would not bo natural if it was not to a certain ex tent hollow; this depends upon the ago. " Worm In the tail, or lioilnwtail, is another wrong idea, and tho habit of cutting tho tail is one of the relies of barbarism. Tho horn may be bored and the tail may be split aud the cow may get be! ter, which she would have dono with c.it ni"h treatment and loft no scare. ” —State Agricultural Department.
