TBE SEVENTH YEAR RAINY SEAsoN.-Mr.
!. f. Hickok, Of Whitesville, Missouri, writes
as follows to the editor Of the Farm Journal.
We submit without comment.
Would it nct be well to draw your readers
attention to this year, 1872, as being the resu-
lar septennial rainy season " Being forewarn-
ell being rorcarmed." In 1853 was farming
in Illinois. We had some forty acres Of corn
we could Tot cultivate at all In 1866 cult
waited Ia the mud. No matter how many wet
seasons intervene, think we may surely pre-
pare for abundance Of rain every seven years.
Let our farmers all strive to get their corn
ground ready for the seed early and plant while
fresh before tie weeds have started. Then,
perhaps, one good cultivation can be given the
crop. which on new lands at least will give a
fair Yield. the great in raising good
crop Of this important staple lany season., lies
in getting tLcyuurs plant started ahead Of the
weeds, when it is comparatively easy to cult
yata properly"

L,srrNa LoygINEss-Twenty years ago, when
paint, pearl powder and enamel, were running the
compilations and destroying the health OF women
Of fashion, UAGaN's MAGNOLIA BALM was brought
outas pure botanical cosmetic, guaranteed TO re
store bloom and beauty 10 the skin. From that
time to the present it has been continually rising

cerdouable preparation OF its class. Instead of
producing an artificial, metallic surface, like the
deadly euamcs, or willing the cudcle like the poi
sonous fluids sold under various names as "beau-
filters" il keeps the skin as soft as velvet, rem
dcrs it as smooth and glossy satin, and imparts
to it that delicate rosy tirge, which is the beau
ideal OF comple .onal loneliness This exquisite
chromaic effect is not transient BY applying
