| As is usual at this season.of the year
many of the cutters along highways and
along fences are again filled with rank
growths of noxious weeds, which emit sick

of surer determination than is that Of dig
| giIg them out of the ground, for every
piece Of root left will produce a stalk in a
short time. The application of turpentine
is sure destroyer of all weed growths, and
one of the cheapest remedies for such a
nuisance which can possibly be adopted.

went down stairs to the sitting room.

would be blown over or struck by light
ming But we were not to be killed in
that manner and about o'clock the storm
was over and we retired with thankful
hearts"

carry off the surplus fluid in the body, and
