How TO Kill " eeds.

BY attending the following directions,
weeds may be completely extirpated
l. Study their habits. Without this
you are working in the dark. You are
shooting without taking aim, and are
more likely to miss than to hit,

see little benefit from your labor, do not

roots are broken into small pieces, and
each piece produces a new plant, which

A FARMERS wife who has had years OF
experience, gives ~" following as her
mode Of raising turkeys; In the first
place select good kind, The autumn, or
early in winter, is the most favorable time
for that, Just before the birds are sent to
market Keep them well during the win
ter. In the spring a few days before they
begin to lay, put them in an enclosure.
where it is most desirable to have their
nests, and where they cannot get out.
After they have made their nests, they
may be set at liberty without any fear of
roaming or straying. Next, take good
care of the eggs They should be gather
ed carefully every day, and placed be-
tween layers Of flannel or cotton, in q
place Of uniformly cool temperature, and
turned over every day. As soon as the
birds are Matched feed them with warm
bread and milk, well peppered with boil
ed eggs added; or thicken with cooked
corn meal or wheat middlings, which is
better. a little care in these matters will
repay all efforts. Before | knew how to
take care of the eggs, set thirty eggs one
year, and but one Of them Matched The
next year | set forty eggs and nearly all
of them hachea and the birds lived Al
present prices, raising poultry is a much
more pleasant and easy occupation than
the slayish drudgery of making butter

TRIUMPHANT FOR TWENTY YEARS.
More than twenty years ago the Mus
tang Liniment made its DEBUT in the
West. Its cures OF the various external
diseases OF horses and cattle, astonished
the planters and farmers OF the Mississ-
ippi and Ohio Valleys, and demand
tor it sprung up which necessitated its
manufacture on an extensive scale
Soon the discovery was made that il
was a grand specific for rheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, earache, and other ex-
ternal ailments OF mankind. Then ii
was tried as healing, pain killing ap'
plication, in cases OF outward injnry,
such as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, etc,
and was found equally serviceable.
The fame OF the new remedy for some
Of the most painful ills that effect man
kind and the lower animals, spread rap
idly, and Mustang Liniment soon took
rank in every State and Territory Of the
Union as Standard Cure.

Police CoURT.-There was one soli'

remember how full the Grsntights
were on Tuesday night, although the
saloons were closed; how they winked
at each other on Wednesday as they
looked through glass darkly," we
wonder that there should be but one
plain drunk before the Police Court
yesterday. But so it was.
William Welty was picked up about
six o'clock Wednesday evening lying in

KNIGHTS oE FyrHIAs PARADE AND
BALL.-The display made by Uniform
Lodge Knights Of Pythias, yesterday,
was one OF the finest ever made in
Wheeling. The new uniform Of the
Order, consisting OF fatigue cap, baldrick
sword, belt and patent leather cuff, is
a very handsome one, and this, with
the martial bearing and fine marching
of the Knights, attracted the attention
and won the admiration o. all. The
banners Of the Order, the knights on
horseback, with helmets and flowing
plumes, the MAGNIFICENT music and fine
appearance OF Was band, all aided in
making as attractive parade as we
have ever seen. When we consider
that the Order is one Of the youngest
in existence, having been started only
nine years ago, and that it was intro
duced in this city only three years ago,
we may well wonder at the brilliancy
and attractiveness of yesterdays display.
At night the knights enjoyed them
selves at ball in Turner Hall, where
they enjoyed themselves in treading
the May dance until late, or rather
early hour.
The Knights OF Pythias can cou-
graduate themselves on having made
most creditable parade and having had
the largest and most enjoyable ball Of
the season.
