WHITENING WooL-The following par
beautifully white color to wool are condensed
from an article upon the subject in German
industrial jour- al. The quantity of ingre-
dents mentioned is intended for about 500 lbs
Of dirty wool but or course a similar pro-
portion could be maintained for greater or
less quantity. Make bath by diss0lving in
wa.er two pounds Of alum, eighteen pounds
If cream tartar, and one pound of Ulphuric
acid, eighteen pounds of starch, six pounds
Of sulphate Of indigo and three pounds of
Orchi. Immerse the wool in this bath Of a
temperature Of 100 degrees Fahrenheit for
threequarters of an hour. In this wav the
wool will get such a whitiSh tone that many
may be satisfied with it, but the white may
he made much deeper by rinsing the wool
out in clean water, and then transferring it
for p short time to a weak bath consisting of
a solution of one pound Of chloride Of ba-
rum. This, it is said, gives rich satin
wilderness to the wool so treated. and at the
same time considerably increases its weight.
Ii is also alleged that the wool does not lose
It's natural softness. and is easily wrought
up by the manufacturer. IF the plan possess
the advantage attributed to it the price Of
the chemicals used cannot be much, and
some Of our agricultural friends might put
it to test on a small quantity of wool IF
the plan were found successful, the baths
could probably be made up as they began to
di ninish, and thus the expense of operating
on large quantities of wool would be reduced
mparativcly. Queensland.

This Is an age Of inquiry and people are

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH WEEDS
Certainly not pulled and left upon the ground
if their seeds are only formed. 1t is not
safe at this stage Of their growth to throw
them into the hog yard, or to put them in a
heap with manure. Nor will it be safe to
leave them upon the ground where they
grew. Some of them are so tenacious OF
life that, even if the plant be pulled up it is
said that the sap will flow upward, the flower
will bloom and the seeds ripen to be scattered
over the fields next year. There Is no kill
ing them by gentle means. They will live
three feet under ground for years, and if the
land is again stirred to that depth, up will
spring thick crop of weeds again to -four
ish in their full strength. We have seen a
stout pig-weed pulled entirely out OF the
ground with the exception of the end of
a very small root, not only to 70 on and live,
but to blossom and perfect large crop OF
seed Do not trust them in any position
where a complete decomposition will not
speedily take place, either by fire or the
agency of some strong alkaline or other sub
stance.
| If dried on the ground after the seed is
! formed, there viii be no danger. If thrown
INTO heaps they will not be likely to rot be-
fore some Of them have perfected seed II

A farmer cut down tree which stood
so near the boundary line of his farm
that it was doubtful whether it belonged
to him or to his neighbor. The neighbor,
however, claimed the tree and prose
cuted for damage the man who cut it.
The case was sent from court to court.
Time was wasted, temper soured, and
friendship lost; but the case was finally
gained by the prosecution. The last
heard of the transaction was that the
man who gained the cause went to the
LAWYERS office to execute a deed of his
whole farm, which he has been COM
PEELED to sell to pay his costs. Then,
houseless and homeless, he thurst his
hands into his pockets and triumphantly
exclaimed, I've beat him."

we're to keep them hale and hearty during the
summer. We all know now that this was
fallaey; that new vigor. not depletion, IS
what is required at the commencement Of the
summer solstice. As a preparation for the
enervating effects of oppressive summer
weather, a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is highly expedient. This famous
vegetable preparation has three prominent
properties: 1t renOyates. purifes, and regu-
lates all the functions of the body. II is COM
posed exclusively Of pure vegetable produe-
tons, viz: the essential principle of Monon-
gahela Rye. and the most eficacious tonic
and Alternative roots. banks. and gums known
to medical botanists. Hence. it is an abso-
lutely safe medicine. and no tincture Of the
Pharmacopeia can compare with it either in
purity or in the variety Of its objects and
its comprehensive results. Happily for man
kind. the theory that it was necessary to
PROSTATE a patient in order to cure him, is
exploded. and the true philosophical doctrine.
that vigor is the great antagonist of disease,
has taken its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an
invigorant. and hence it is the proper medi-
cine for the feeble at this most trying season
Of the year. Be sure that you obtain the
genuine article, as there are innumerable vile
limitations in the market. Look to the orna-
mental stamp. the engraved label. and the
name blown into the glass. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is sold in bottles only.
