medicinal preparations, and been under the treat,
mens Of the most eminent physioians, expenenc-
ing but little relief. -. ,;'..i =. .-''.'
Having seen your preparation extensively ad-

sised remedies and had found them worthless,
and SOME quito Injurious; In fact, despaired Of
ever getting wei, and Determined TO use no rem.

Az you advertised that fs was composed Of buchu,

three weeks.was able to walk out l felt much
like writing to you.s full statement OF my case at

Your Buchu being devoid OF any unpleasant

Sowing Wheat Early.

The uncertainty of raising this grain in
our section has prevented many farmers
from trying to raise it, their crop often be-
ing only from three TO five bushels TO one
OF seed sOwn, anu frequently almost to-
tai loss caused by the weevil or rust.
Oats are sown by m.ny, but the great
objection to sowing them are the grass
crops that follow, which are less than
where wheat is sOwn. l have for the past
seven years raised from ten TO fifteen
bushels from one OF seed sOwn. The
method pursued by Inc has been to
thoroughly pillow the ground in the au-
tumn, and in the spring, as soon as the
ground is thawed 10 the depth OF three
inches or more, and is partially dry, take
the team and harrow IL over.
The surface dries rapidly after being
moved. In day or two we harrow again,
and sow the grain and harrow it in
thoroughly. Sometimes there will be
snow drlts along by the walls and f0nCcs
these can be FASTENED away 10y passing
over with the harrow or shoveling few
minutes. The grain will grow quite well
if sown upon them, but prefer to have
them out Of tue way.
No matter ii the ground should freeze,
or snow should fall, but the grain will
grow. Last year part of piece was
aown April 1st. Alterward the ground
lroze, and. snow fell SO that the piece
could not be finished for nearly two
weeks. The first sOwn came up first and
was equally as good.
BY following this course | have not
been troubled with the weevil or rust so
as to destroy the crop, which was the case
