The SAFETY AFFORDED BY VACCINATION
The Tuolumne City News relates the follow
ing circumstance, which proves the protective
power of vaccination:
Not long SINCE mere lad, the child of a
widow lady living on the sand plains in San
Joaquin county, not far from the Stanislaus.
was attacked by the disease. Fortunately
every other member of the family had pre-
viously been vacc;nated. The boy was cured
and the disease did not spread. The amount
OF misery and suffering saved the community
by the forethought and consideration of this
family alone, can never be estimated, or even,
perhaps, properly appreciated.

A WEED DESTROYER MIR. j. T. Dowd,
of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, writes to the
American Institute Farmers Club the fol-
lowing description of harrow for destroy
ing weeds:
Last spring made harrow for des-
troying weeds, which cost but three dol
lars, and benefited me many times that
amount. The shape is like the letter A.
1t is in length sixteen feet its widest
place, twelve feet. 1t is made of oak sean
Ting, two by four Inches. 1t has two cross
bars, so constructed that the drag may be
spread wide or narrow, at pleasure. TIE
teeth are forty penny nails, one hundred
aud twenty eight in number. Each side
OF the harrow should be made of two pieces
OF scantiing, which can he fastened togeth-
er with hinge, so as to raise and fall to
suit the inequalities of the surface. |
halved mine together, fastening them with
bolt, somewhat smaller than the bit the
hole was made with.
Those acquainted with prairie farming
Will remember that when each man is ex-
peeted to cultivate twenty five or thirty
acres OF corn, most of the land must be
plowed long time before the corn is
planted, and that the weeds are often an
inch high when the corn is cominy y through
the surface. That is the time to 90 over
the ground with this harrow. 1t wiiLtake
the small weeds out by the roots and leave
them on the surface. If hot weather fol-
lows, the weeds will soon be past all hopes
of recovery. If wet weather follows they
will be put back ten days, as plant trans
planted will not commence to grow in
much less time.
If corn is planted when the ground is
wet, or if wet weather follows. a crust is
formed over the surface which hinder the
pant in coming through. This borrow
breaks up the crust and pulverises every
lump OF earth. Potatoes need about the
same treatment. Last spring being wet,
the weeds on my potato ground were about
an inch high, and thick as they could
stand, when the potato plants We're an inch
be'ow the surface. | went over the ground
with this harrow until it looked the same
as it did the day it was plowed, and though
wet weather followed when the weeds
were again an inch high, the potatoes
were three inches high.
l am confident that each hand on prai-
rie soil can cultivate FIVE acres more of
corn with this harrow, used at the right
time, than with any other machinery now
In use.
