laxative mainly composed of SIENNA,

When the purgative effect has ceased he
gives cold drinks, calculated with hydro

when this treatment is commenced early

A Hint About Weeds.

In harvesting Indian corn and wheat,
we cut them long before the grain-the
seed, is ripe. When the grain in either
is fully formed, the stalks are cut;
experience has shown that the ripening
process goes on; the stalk contains
sufficient nutriment to perfect the
grains, and it does this after the plant
is cut away from the root. Indeed, the
grain thus treated often comes to
greater perfection than if the plant
were left until the seed is fully ripe.
What takes place with these crop
plants, also occurs with weeds. Many
weeds, if cut up while in flower, still
have nutriment enough in their stems
and leaves to perfect and ripen crop
of seeds. 1t therefore happens that the
mere cutting up of many weeds, and
leaving them to dry upon the ground,
does little toward their determination.
The common purslane-or "pussley,"
for example, has remarkable vitality; its
very succulent stems will remain alive
for weeks, and even continue to grow
after they have been deprived of the
root. 1t is one thing to cut up weeds
with the hoe; it is equally important,
and it should always be done in gardens,
to gather up the weeds by the use of
rakes, and carry them to brush heap,
where they will ultimately be burned

Only One Life.

Too many farmers appear to be only
skirmishing around during the present
life without any of the real enjoyments
which this world offers to everyone who
will gather them. In the first place, if
he does not marry good wife (and
there are plenty of them running around
loose) the fatal mistake is made which
can never be remedied. If a man in
tends to be farmer, and through that
channel of industry enjoy all of the
comforts and pleasures of life, he should
surround himself and family with as
many of the conveniences of life as his
means and industry can command. He
should keep in mind that on his farm
and with his family is the best place for
contentment and happiness. And the
best way to be happy is to make his
family happy and his home pleasant.
Every hour needlessly spent away from
the home Of domestic happiness is just
so much lost in the great sum of life's
comforts. One life-one home-one
wife-one aim-and one end to all OF
life's struggles and hopes. Without
happiness all work is burthen, and
life failure.-Ioaca State Register.
