THE spring months are undoubtedly the
best in which to purify the blood and
strengthen the system, because at this time
the body is most susceptible to the benefi-
cial effects OF reliable medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The feeling of debility,
languor and lassitude caused by the chang
ing season, is entirely overcome, and scrof
ula and all humors are expelled from the
blood by the powerful reviving and purify
ing influences OF Hoods Sarsaparilla. DO

his neighbors. The wood was of such
poor quality and so crooked that he
complained bitterly about it. Finally,
after exhausting his vocabulary, he
said: If ever see meaner load of
wood than this I'll apologize to you for
what | have said The man who
bought the wood moved to Westport,
and after several years had passed
came home one night and looked over
a load of wood that had been left in his
yard during the day. lie walked
around it few times, and finally went
into the house and said to his wife: Il
have got to 90 to Naugatuck right
away" "What have you got to 90 to
Naugatuck now for?" inquired his wife.
"Why | told Mr.. So-and-So that if |
ever found meaner load OF wood than
the one that ne sold me | would apolo-
gize to him for what said about it;
have found it and am going And he
at once took the train for Naugatuck

are cutting their tobacco;. which they
planted rather as an experiment crop. and
it is proving to be very good. We wish
here to give the actual measurement of
some of the tobacco raised IN this loca lity.

Bryson's tobacco patch and assisted him
in measuring some of the leaves of his TO-
bacco. We found some few leaves that
measured 24x4o inches, and quite a num-
Der that were 18x36. Mr.. Bryson SAYS
Tthat he will make from 500 to 900 BUSH
els of corn this year; also some tobacco,
and very fine lot of suaar cane, and po-
tatoes. He says that he is confidentsthat
he has land that will yield 40 bushels of
corn per acre this year; and we learn that
his entire crop was cultivated by himself
and three other hands. This shows clearly
what our farmers can do; and it also shows
to some extent the fertility of the natural
soil of -blissful y-elime,s Western, Caro-
