TIMELY FIELD NOTES.

THE need of ice is now being felt by
a great many persons. 1t is neither
difficult nor expensive to put up small
amount of ice. Suppose you try it next
winter.
Do NOT allow harvesting to keep the
field of late corn from having a needed
blowing. The last blowing destroys
many weeds and usually increases the
yield materially.
PASTURES which are infested with
ragweeds can be materially benefited
by moving the weeds late this month
before the seeds have matured. Com
paratively few weeds will ripen seeds
if this is done.
DESTROY noxious weeds along the
roadside. Many of them are distributed
and allowed to seed there and soon get
out on the adjoining farms. District
road supervisors should see that they
are not allowed to mature seed

Ambassadors occasionally still hold
tightly to some privileges which are
hardly in keeping with the spirit of
the age. Not only ENJOYS themselves
but their servants also are free from
arrest in countries to which they are
accredited, and an assault committed
ON an ENJOYS servant is regarded as an
injury suffered by the envoy himself
Thus, in 1870, Baron Turgot, the French
ambassador at Madrid, wrote indig
nantly to his governments u have this

Merchants familiar with mix ed
paints that have been put upon the mar
ket during the past ten years, will tell you
that many of the manufacturers of these
paints seem to think that they could sell
anything that was labelled paint, that the
merchant cared little what was contained
in these paints, and it made no difference
to the consumer. The cheapness and con
venience of mixed paints. however, count
ed much in their favor. But the demand
for mixed paint that was actually paint,
and not simply labelled paint, became APP
parent, and merchants received the Chill
ton Paints when they were introduced
upon the market, with the greatest of IA
vor, because they knew that they were
made out of the best materials that could
be bought, were full measure, and that
none of the tricks used to cheaper the
cost of production were resorted to. The
merchant could recommend them. The
standard of excellence has never been
lowered. The same quality of paint is put
up in pound cans as in large packages

A BATTLE WITH SNAKES.


Horrors of a Night In Southern Will
derness.
Fishing and hunting are recognized
as Florida's favorite pastimes. Daily
parties leave for the interior for such
sport, Among the many experiences
which have been met with recently
none excels the horrible ordeal which
two men from the north went through
few days ago. The two left st. Au-
gustine on fishing tour to go about
sixty miles from here All along the
stream is barren wilderness of scrub
by underground, powders, rocks and
stones. Being tired and sorefooted
after their days journey, the men
made themselves comfortable on the
surface of a moss-grown rock Aftera
hearty meal they both fell asleep. One
was shortly afterward awakened by
something choking him, and feeling
found his strange collar to be cold and
Shiny 1t was very fine specimen OF
the snake species which was girdling
his throttle. The monster was soon
dispatched, and the two men were
about to lie down again, after Kidding
themselves of the intruder, when they
found themselves literally surrounded
by the reptiles. They were going to
decamp for a more congenial climate,
but, when about to leave the rock, hiss
ing and rafting became more audible,
and it was but a few minutes until it
was as loud as ordinary toned voices.
The men. finding that they were sur
rounded, broke branches from the
stubby underground of pines and COM
menced flashing the writhing sea of
iarting, kissing snakes. Realizing
that they had an all-night job, they
secured rocks and larger sticks and be-
gan killing the reptiles in earnest.
The noise seemed to awaken the whole
barren waste into a kissing and rat
Ting forest.
Each man began the slaughter with
redoubled vigor, vainly trying to fight
their way to the stream, some hun
1red yards away down hill. They
would gain a few PAGES of the distance,
only to be driven back again to the
-ock. The rafting and kissing be-
came so loud that their voices became
scarcely audible unless close together
The hair on both mems heads stood up
like bristles, while their arms were
blood-stained to the elbows The
stencil from the snaky battlefield was
almost unbearable and sickening in
the extreme. Within three hours after
the first snake had been killed hun
ireds, if not thousands, had met sim
liar fate. Both men were badly bitten
and their legs and arms began swell
ing rapidly. The hours wore slowly
by and the slaughter continued At
last morning came and lifted the cur
tain of night from a most appalling
scene.
For fifty feet all around the large
rock lay heap of stunned, squirming
and dead snakes, and as far as they
could see all around the barren waste
was a seething tide of reptiles that
came toward the rock with maddening
fury With difficulty they managed to
reach the river and soon arrived at a
cabin, where medical attendance was
given. The hair on both mems heads
had turned almost white during the
night, and it will be weeks before they
can fully recover from the effects of
| this fearful encounter.

Ladies who do great deal of sewing
frequently suffer a great deal from
soreness of the mouth and lips and are
often at loss to ascertain the cause of
the trouble Half the time it is simply
the result of biting off thread instead
of using a pair of shears for cutting.
In the case of silk thread the danger is
quite marked. because it is usual TO
soak the thread in acetate of lead,
partly to harden it and give it a good
surface, and also perhaps to increase
its weight somewhat If this practice
is followed regularly and very much
silk thread is used the results may be
quite serious and even lead to blood
poisoning. Chicago Times.
