A Veil Of Mist

Rising at morning or evening from some
lowland, often carries in its folds the seeds
Of malaria. Where malarial fever prevails
no one is safe, unless protected by some
efficient medicinal safeguard. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is both q protection and a
remedy. No person who inhabits, or 80,
journs in a miasmatic region or country,
should omit to procure this fortifying agent,
which is.also the finest known remedy for
dyspepsia, consumption, kidney trouble and
rheumatism.

HARROWS As HOES.
How to Lesson Hand Labor in the Perform
ance of Farm Work.


ance Of Farm Work.
1 have narrowed my potatoes for
twenty years-long before I had a
smoothing harrow. Since have had
the latter implement use it for both
corn and potatoes. As plant my pota-
toes very early and they are some time
coming up run the harrow over them
before the vines appear, then again
soon after they are up. plant indrills,
with the rows two and one-half feet
apart. In about q week or ten DAYS.
according to the weather, and the
starting of the weeds, run the cult,
vator through. and before they start
again l run through With a horse hoe.
l then run through with double-thoiG-
board pillow, which will do about all the
killing needed; but if the weeds start
again before the vines are too large, /
run through with the horseshoe again,
set so as to hill more. If the rows are
just far enough apart the pillow works
splendidly. With corn, 1 run the har-
cow before the corn is up, and then
follow up with weeder, unless the
ground is very free from stones. II it is
so, the harrow can be used until the
corn is six inches high. If the ground is
stony, the weeder is better, as it can be
lifted over any distractions, and can
be used until the corn is one foot high.
l then use the hoe as long as needed.
1t these machines have been used at a
proper time-say, just as the weeds are
breaking through the ground-there
will be no further trouble with weeds.
Ill do not want to SOW grass seed,
hill a little, and that covers all the
weeds in the rows. One advantage of
this system is that / use no hand labor,
which costs too much. Another ad-
vantage is that one can choose hot,
dry sunny forenoon and 20 over all
the ground, while if the work is done
by hand. rain may overtake him, and
the weeds may get large and grow all
the better for the hoeing. know of
no soils on which one can not use, at
least, two Of the implements named,
and these used at a proper time and in
proper way will always take the
place of the hand hoe. One should al
ways remember that they must be used
before the weeds get much of a start,
otherwise they will often help the
weeds along. They can be used in hill
culture as we'll as in drill. They can
entirely supplant hand labor. never
use the hoe to plant or cultivate after,
the crop is up. As I have said, 1 do
not believe any farmer can afford to
use hand labor as it is too expensive.
A man must use his brains if he wants
to succeed with a machine, A harrow
or a weeder run over piece of corn or
potatoes on hot, dry sunny day at
the proper time, will kill all the weeds;
but if used on a wet day or after the
weeds are up it is worse than useless.

Casters Approach.


With the approach of Easter many per.
sons who have given themselves up to
eelf restraiHment and denial during the
solemn season of Lent, begin to discuss
the coming events of the social world
again and the indications are that the in.
door enjoyments abandoned at the be.
ginning Of Lent will be succeeded by all
kinds Of outdoor pleasures. There are
happy times ahead, and our society folks
are making ample preparations, so that
they will be ready when the Lenten season
has passed and left the doors wide open
for gayety and social psstime. Any
amount of amusement Is in store for
those who will seek the pleasures that
will coon surround them. and our young
folks and old folks ere long will be able
to sing social cong as gay and happy as
that which the lark has been twittering
for the past two weeks. Soon there will
be sunshine In the land and in the heart;
there will be good. jolly laughter and a
season Of good cheer. The naughty
winds of early spring will have passe d
away and the flowers and grasses will
make the world beautiful. Outdoors
will be refreshing and will give a zest to
the pleasures that come in on nimble feet
and feet wings just after the Easter tide
has been enjoyed.

never had good health, and he saw when
1t was born that it would not linger any
great length of time on earth. While
trying to find something which would
rhyme with the first line, he took a seat
by the window and gazed longingly out
upon the face of nature, in the vain
hope that his eyes might encounter
some object of inspiration. Two old
hens fighting for the right to occupy
one nest did not seem to assist his i'm
sgination to any large extent. A dozen
more fowl of mixed age and sex, engaged
in putting the finishing touch to an early
lettuce bed, failed to lift his thoughts
above high water mark. A tramp who
said he had no breakfast, neither dined
or supped since the inauguration. and

THE PATRIOTIC EVENT.

The Centen NAL Inauguration Ami
versary and the Prospects for its
Observance In Rock Island.
At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Rock Island Citizens I'm
provement association lsst evening,
to consider the plans for observing
in some public and patriotic manner
the centennial Inauguration anniver
sary in Rock Island, it was deter
mined that The committee canvass the
city today and tomorrow and obtain as
far as possible public sentiment and re-
port at the m eeting of the association to-
morrow night.
Though no plans as to the nature of
the demonstri alton, should there be one,
have as yet uatured, number of sug-
gestions have been made and from these
a general idea may be cleaned. Indica-
tons now point to q grand Fourth of
July. blazing, screeching racket at night.
q general illumination of streets and bus
mess blocks and finally pyrotechnic
display from a float in the river a few
rods from the shore and about opposite
the foot of Eighteenth street. This sort
of celebration contemplates an expen-
diture of $500 to $500 in fire
works and this of course would have to
be secured by subscription. This way of
observing the great national occasion
would be dem Dnstrative, patriotic and one
In which the entire public could partici-
pate, witness and enjoy. If the commit
tee reports favorably on the plan tomor-
row night, the association will at once
order the fireworks, one piece OF which
will be appropriate to the event and CAL
culated TO inspire patriotism, another to
arouse local pride, while there will be
other pieces OF miscellaneous character.
There will also be band of music II the
plans are carried through.
The Rodmsn Rifles at their regular

mittee has learned that the Moline boys
are wanted at home on that day. Capt.
Channon announces. however, that the
company will place itself at the disposal
of any committee having in charge ar
rangements for the days celebration.
1t is expected that business will gener
ally suspend In the afternoon and, it is
to be hoped, that Rock Island will not
suffer itself to ignore display in the
evening.
The morning will be consumed with
the services at the Catholic and Trinity
churches, the Rodman Rifles. Buford
Post, Besrdsley Camp and the mayor
and council participat in the latter,
aud the exercises in the public schools.
Since the above was written, the ex-
&c utive commit of the association hav-
ing csnvassed the situation. has called a
meeting at o'clock this afternoon, when
it will be decided to abandon the project
