Utilizing Dry bitches.

A very useful thing for farmer to
know is how to utilize dry ditch, and
in California they have an excellent
way of doing it After the water is
turned out in early summer, instead of
allowing the banks to become a swamp
of weads, to his own detriment and the
undoing of those below, the farmer
plows the banks and the bottom of the
ditch and plants pumpkins therein.
Supposins his ditch runs, say, for
three-quarters of a mile, he raises from
fifty to one hundred wagon-loads of
pumpkins OF the largest kind. After
they are gathered in the fall and the
vines are dry he dumps them into the
ditch and sets fir 70 them. The result
Is a ditch as clean as garden-walk,
and no weed seed to be spread over
thousands of acres as soon as the water
is turned in, to say nothing of the bal
nnce to the good in the large and val
liable crop at comparatively light ex-

one year, the danger from fire is quite
as small as if rooted with shingles, and
insurance companies will very readily
assume risks at just the same rates for
matched as for the shingled buildings.
For sodding, cut the sods to uniform
size of 9x2S inches, and laying the first
layer crosswise, place the next above it
lengthwise, and continue the entire
wall in this manner This binds the
wall firmly together In building,
have plenty of fine dirt at hand, say a
couple of loads, to fill in the loose
spaces between the sods. The method
of placing the sods will be plainly I'M

SHEEP SHEARlNGS.

THE sleeps quarters should be light
and well ventilated.

other stock will refuse.
SHEEP keeping should always be
estimated from the standpoint Of fer.

portion of the sheep should be thrifty

IN nearly all cases where sheep are
kept the land continually increases in
fertility.
NEeLECTING to feed properly is one
cause of failing to secure good growth
of wool
No MATTER how good the breed, I'M
less good feed and care is given they
will degenerate.
MAKING the sheep comfortable and
feeding well will secure q steady
growth of wool every day.

is 60x4S feet and 81 feet high to the
ridge point, but it's size can of course
be varied to meet different require

and 20 inches thick. The doorway
figured in the engraving is IA feet high
and IL feet wide, closed by two swing

to be driven into the barn and un-

In building this barn light timber

"At the meeting of the British Medical

Sewage in Oysters, il which he point
ed out that oysters growing in estuaries
and other places to which sewage had

to be the case in oysters col

September 20 he recorded series of
cases of enteric illness-fortunately
not fatal-from apparent poisoning by
oysters, referring also, to four fatal
cases of poisoning by mussels. in the
case OF Mrs OConnor and her family,

THE BEST medical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating easy of application, and
one that will, by its own action, reach all
the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past few years obliges us TO ad-
init that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem
edy, which is to be found at any drug
store, has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact, The more
distressing symptoms quickly yield to it.
