Turning Under Weeds.-I have haC
better success in blowing weedy lane
by putting on a rolling Golfer and ;

ing chain loose enough to not catch thu
dirt from mold d-board. have this sea
son turned under weeds as high as m!
horses back, and can hardly see them
blowing six inches deep. The presen
wheat crop would be better with us t.
NOV and burn the weeds after whiting. -

Many young ladies, on their return
from the country this fall, will be glaC
to know that some horse -radish grated
into cupof cold sour milk-let it stanC
twelve hours, then strain and apply tive
or three times day-will remove
freckles from hands or face in a shor
time. Or, one ounce lemon juice mixe(
with quarter of dram pulverize'
borax and half a dram of sugar will
also remove freckles. Keep this lotiol
in glass bottle, corked tightly, few
days before using and apply to tn
freckles occasionally, and it will sool
remove them.-Mrs. H. w. Beecher.
