WEEDS.

1t is common remark of tourists
from England and Europe when trav-
elling through our farming country,
that we raise too many weeds. This
reproach is doubtless true, and is due
partly to the high price of labor in
this country, which makes it impossi-
BILE to profitably adopt hand methods
of killing weeds which are used
abroad; but we must admit that it is
partly due also to n careless neglect of
means that are within our reach, and
which should not be neglected. Chief
among these means is the carelessness
of most farmers about the seeds of
weeds. 1t is customary to plough
under any weeds that remain on the
land after harvesting crop, and this
is the very best way to preserve and
plant the seeds of many varieties of
weeds.
On garden land, where we can af-
ford to spend some time, the weeds
should be cut up with hoe and carted
off and burned, or piled up for two
years process of composing to de-
stroy the seeds; some weeds can be

UYroNTowN.-The case of James HamiI-
ton versus the Fayette City Natural Gas
Company was up for trial here before Judge
Slagle. The plaintiff claimed 800, 900 dam
ages from the company for causing the
death Of his wife. He alleges that in 1899
he was living in Fayette City, using gas
fuel which he got from the defendent COM
pany and that from January ~ to Is of
that year his wife was i'll and the gas COM
pany cut the gas of from all domestic con-
sumers to supply full flow TO the glass
works. The day before the gas was turned
of he notified the company of his wife's
condition and asked them not to turn the
gas off again without notifying him so that
he could have time to provide other fuel.
But he claimed that the gas was turned of
without any notice to him and that as
consequence the house got cold and that his
wife took chill and eventually grew worse
until about ten days afterward, when she
died. They were many doctors to testify
and heavy array of counsel, but the de-

FOR Farm AND GARDEN.
NO DAIRY REJT

There is no "dairy belt" in this
country. just as good butter and
cheese can be made in one state as
another. Some of the finest dairies
in the country are to be found in Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Texas, while
the West is famous for taking first
prizes Mt interstate fairs. What il
needed is plenty of good water for
cows and washing dairy utensils. II
is real calmity to run short of water
in the dairy, and no one should start
without never failing supply. Then
again it must be conveniently located.
Waste no time of man or beast in
going after water, make the water
come to you. Lead it through pipes
in barn and dairy houss 20 as little
pumping as possible either by hand or
power. II is a back-breaking and
weary business, and in hot days in
summer, cows drink fearful amount
of water. Lead the water from n
point on the farm high enough to
deliver it up to the knees of the cows
as they stand in the stable. Il Home

The Flight Of the Heart.

The heart scars up like bird
From nest Of carel
Up, up. to larger sky.
To a softer air!
No eye can measure its flight.
And no hand can tame,
1t mounts in beauty and light,
In music and flame.
OF all the changes Of Time
There Is none like this;
The heart soars up like a bird
At the stroke of bliss.
The heart scars up like a bird.
But its wings soon tire;
Enough of rapture and song.
The cloud and the Are;
It's look, the look of a king
or slave, its birth.
The poor, tired, impotent thing.
Sinks back to the earth
And the mother spreads her lap,
And she lulls its pain;
"oh, thou who sighed for the sun.
Art thou mine AGAIN.

Girls, What Do You Think OF ItP

A London paper, moved by the pain
ful spectacle Of the modern breach-of-
promise case, proposes novel expedi-
snt in order to overcome the difficult
ties which such suits present. 1t says:
There would be one very simple meth
cd OF tightening the task of the jury,
which would also afford TO young woni-
en- and their guardians u means of as
certaining whether the lover had any
serious intention of developing into q
husband or not. Let no promise of
marriage be held valid unless it is
made in writing upon properly stamped
paper. II the plaintiff could produce
Q formal promise Of that kind, there
would be no need to go into all the his
tory Of doubtful oourtship, or to con-
slider any other factor In the assess
ment OF damages than the respective
Incomes Of the contracting parties. :,

THE BITE OF A HOG.

1t is serious thing to be bitten by
any domestic animal, and the danger
is probably greater when bitten by a
hog than by any other. This is not
because there is an active poisonous
gland with hollow tooth through which
the poison is pressed. That is the way
a rattlesnake bites or rather stings.
The danger from the bite of a hog may
be as great as from rattlesnake, but
there is danger from blood poisoning
caused by carrying on the tushes of
the hog some poisonous saliva with
which its mouth is filed. We call
this saliva poisonous because the hog
is an indiscriminate feeder, and not
careful about getting particles of dirt
or even of excrement of other animals
with its food 1t is poisonous just rs
are the scratches from finger nails,
which always leave an infamed sore,
hard to be healed in proportion to the
abrasion of the skin. This is because
with each +. scratch of the nail, some Of
the dirt that always gathers under it is
brought into contact with the blood.
A cut with clean knife heals more
quickly, especially if treated at once
with some antiseptic and the mir care

The sun had just dipped below the
hills when lit my cigar that afternoon,
and leaped back in my easy-chair to
watch the transformation of the por-
trait. Slowly the daylight died from
the room. Madame Deslanier entered
and placed candles on my tables. 1

my eyes from the portrait. With the
coming of the candles fully expected
the transformation to take place, but
strangely enough, it did not. Although
the conditions seemed now precisely
the same as on the previous evening,
when the portrait surely lived, and
spoke to me with its eyes, could see
nothing more than dull canvas and
painted features.

F.avell said in the letter that Bryan and himself only escaped because they were on the beach at the time and succeeded in hauling out the boats before the Indi- ans could shoot, This story is now confirmed by Professors McGea and Duuwoodi9 of the ethno.ogical bureau of the Smithsonian institute.

SOME OF THE MANY PROPOSITIONS.

One of tie Most Plausible Is the Es-
 tablishment of Colony If Farmers
 Upon tie Plan Which Brigham Young
 Used to Keep Morlnons Together and
 Gontented.
 WAsHNeToS, Nov. se.-There are various schemes to utilize the arid land law that was passed at the last session of congress. It gives the new states and territories 100000 acres each of government lands if they will redeem them. Among the schemes proposed is one for tie states to build irrigation ditches with labor brought from the overcrowded towns and cities of the east and to pay for that labor half in cash and half in land, to be occupied when the irrigation works are completed. It will, however, probably be difficult to induce any great number of city people to go west under such conditions.
 It is also proposed to estalsh model irrigation colony somewhere in the west to demonstrate what can be done by single man in the way of agriculture if his labors are properly directed. Five thousand acres of land will be taken in some locality convenient to water and transportation facilities aud 100 farmers placed upon 1t with farms at from % to 90 acres each.
 The farmers will live in a village with schools and churches just as convenient as they have them in Ohio or Massaehu- setts and have their barns and store- house on their farms which will not be more than three miles at the fartherest. Their wives and children will have plenty of society and there will be q store established by the association Ut which they can procure at reasonable prices everything that they need to pur- chase. This Is the plan suggested by Brigham Young and it has proved to be very effective in keeping the Mormons contented and happy and in the promo ton of education and adherence to the doctrines of the church.
