KILLS THE WEELD.
To kill Canada thistles or burdock
take a spade and cut off the plant a
couple of inches below the crown.
Some farmers kill them Dby cutting
them off at the crown and then put
on a handful of salt or a little kero
gene with a common oil can, but that
involves a considerable labor and
expense wholly unnecessary. There
is no use trying to kill them by cut
ting off at top of ground; it will only
;make them healthier.—Epitomist.
PIG PEN,
I intend building a substantial pig
pen, containing about ten pens (Bxlo
feet). Shall I use plank or concrete
floor? (1) Shall I use concrete for
the outside run? (2) Shall 1 use
boards, iron or wire to enclose and
divide the outside run? (8) How
would you buildapen? (4).—F. A. L.
Answer—l. A concrete floor well
drained is the only proper floor for a
pig pen, but it should be so made as
to receive a plank lining for the
sleeping quarters. In cross section
the outline of the floor would he
something like this:
A
w
Bed. - £
2. Preferably not, thougn it may be
necessary if the soil is soft or mucky
or clayey and cannot be well drained,
A well drained, gravelly soil is ideal
for a location. 3. The outside runs
should be divided by a low concrete
wall eighteen inches to three feet
high; in this posts should be ime
beddeq, to which the fence may be
attached, and this may be of wood or
wire, as taste dictates. 4. e should
also strongly recommend a similar
concrete wall for the building up to
the bottom of the windows.—Coun
try Gentleman.
FEEDING CATTLE IN THE BARN.,
Feeding cattle in the barn during
winter, though contrary to the ordin
‘ary practice, has-several advantages
over the custom of letting them feed
in the stock yard. The bast the ad
vocates of the latter practice can ®say
in its favor is that it saves labor in
storing hay, in foddering, and in
spreading the manure; but when the
value of the hay is considerably di
minished by exposure, not a little of
it is trodden under foot and wasted.
‘more of it is required to keep up
‘the condition of an unsheltered ani
mal, m.zh of the droppings of the
latter around the yard are wasted,
while the value of the remainder is a
good deal lessened by free exposure
and the consequent escape of some of
its gaseous fertilizing elements. Keep
three or four head of stock in each
of the two ways for a single winter
weighing the animals at the begin
ning and end of the experiment and
the food given to each lot meanwhile,
and vou will become convinced, once
for all, that the old fashioned meth
od is a thriftless on. Troublesome
and expensive, eh? The saving the
first season will about cover the ex
pense, to say nothing of that in sub
sequent years, and few advantages
fall to the farmers’ lot without pains
taking.—Weekly Witness. .
THICK SOD AND PASTURE.
The thickness of the sod in a pas
ture determines the character of the
pasture. Every good pasture has a
thick sod. Thin sod means an im
poverished pasture, though this may
be due to overstocking rather than to
natural lack of fertility in the soil.
The thick sod depends on the fer
tility in the soil, the kinds of grasses
with which it is sown, the texture of
the soil and the amount of pasturing
it has received. Where a pasture is
in the best of conditions it will have
from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 of plants
on every acre.
The number of plants on an acre of
poor pasture will often not run over
a million and sometimes not half
that, The greater the number of va=
rieties of plants growing on an acre,
the greater the number of varieties
of plants. This is due to the fact
that different plants use different
soil elements in varying amounts.
The larger the number of varieties
on an acre of pasturage, the grealer
in the aggregate is the weight of
herbage taken off in pasturaze.
If the pasture has a thick sod
the owner may feel certain that it is
in good shape and needs little atten
tion. If the sod is thin, the pasture
should be given attention at the ear
liest possible moment. White clover
is a good index of the condition of
the pasture. Where it grows luxu
riany, the owner may feel sure that

THE Wflv MAN'S GRAVE.
Cierra Leone Looks Attractive In
Spite of Its Bad Name.
Slerra Lecone—known to fame ua
“The White Man's Grave"—viewed
from the deck of an incoming steam
er presents an appearance distinetly
attractive,
As to climate, the soubriquet
“White Man's Grave” is sufficiently
instructive, Suffice it to say that the
first of the dally regimental orders
ran thus: “Funeral parade at 6:30
a. m. tomorrow,” and it was seldom
indeed that the parade was dismiss
od for lack of a victim to the pesti
terous climatic conditions. Indeed,
so arduous became the dutles of se
pulchre that whereas it was custo
mary in the beginning for the entire
regiment and band to attend only the
company of the deceased and the fir
ing party did so later om. |
Sterra Leone is infested with
snakes, large and small. The form:
er arc of the constrictor species; the
latter are all extremely venomous.
The most deadly of all perhaps is
the yellow jack, a beautiful yellow
and black reptile whose bite is re
puted to prove fatal within a space
of twenty minutes. — Westchester
County Magazine.
Matinee Hat Terror.
There were worse terrors than the
matinee hat for the man who sat be
hind a woman in the seventeenth cen
tury theatre. Pepys wrote that Jan
uary 28, 1661, he saw “The Lost
Lady,” for the second time. Nine days
earlier that play had not pleased him
much—partly, perhaps, because he
was “troubled to be seen by four of
our ofice clerks, which sat in the
half-crown box, and I in the Is. oa.”
But on the second occasion the play
did “please me better than before;
and here I sitting behind in a dark
place, a lady spit backward upon me
by a mistake not seeing me.” How
ever, it was all right; for, “after
seeing her to be a very pretty lady,
1 was not troubled at it at all.”

Rheumatism Prescription.
Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism. It is an almost infalli
ble cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken proper
ly. The following is the formula:
“One ounce of Toris compound and
one ounce of syrup Sarsaparilla com
pound. Add one-half pint of good
whiskey. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retir
ing.”
This is said to produce almost im
mediate results.

FRIEND SAID TO USE CUTICURA

Soon Cured of Dread Humor.
“I contracted eczema and suffered in
tensely for about ten months, At times I
thought I would scratch myself to pieces.
My face and arms were covered with large
red patches, so that I was ashamed to ge
out. I was advised to go to a doctor who
was a specialist in skin diseases, but I re
ceived very little relief. I tried . every
known remedy, with the same results. I
thought I would never get better until a
friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies. So I tried them, and after four
or five applications of Cuticura Ointment I
was relieved of my unbearable itching. 1
used two sets of the Cuticura Remedies,
and I am completely cured. Miss Barbara
