WEEDS ANN RAsreERRIEs.

In paper upon weeds aud wedding
prepared for the meeting of the
Penusylvania State Board of Agricul-
ture Mr.. Cummings, of Sunbury, said !:
1.-The plAntain was called by the
Indians the white mans footstep. As
1t WAS abundant IN or near hard
trodden paths, and not much else
where. II liz especially abundant in
places where poultry is kept. Some
entomologists claim that an insect
parasite destroys it in the field, hut
the parasite is itself destroyed around
mans dwelling by poultry. Afurther
reason why plsntain does not grow in
fields is that it isa aplsut hardy enough
when grown alone, but easily
smothered when grown surrounded
by clover or other plants, aud usually
does not infest clover fields unless its
seed WAS mixed with that OF the
clover.
"Some years ago | put out IL, 600
raspberry plants, and tho summer
following the striug OF planting it
was a question whether berry plants
or weeds were being grown. When
the plants were put out they were
pretty close To the ground aud proper
horse cultivation could not be given
them because the rows OF plants could
not be seen for the weeds and brisrs.
Finally men were employed and weeds
aud briars were pulled out by hand.
A number of rows were discarded on
account of their growth being stuntei
and smothere by weeds. The first
year there were not enough berries ID
make it an object To market them.
The second year fifty-ive bushels.
The third year ninety-seven bushels,
aud this year the prospects are bright
for over a hundred. TIE berry patch
was located on piece of ground that
WAS grown up with brisrs, burdocS,
sumach and all kinds OF weeds, and
the great mistake was In not cleaning
it out, and putting it in some sum ner
crop in the preceding year. This
hint is thrown out for the bsneft OF
those intending to plant berries or
other smSll fruits. which nee l regular
cultivation to give good return for
money aud time expended"

cRor ROTATION.

Crop rotation should be prscticed if
you mean To improve the land. A crop
rotation OF three, iour, or five years,
with clover for one Of the years. can
be so arranged that the land will he
continually strengthened by it. This
method, in connection with all the
manure which can be manufactured
and the turning under of green crops
as often ss may be possible, is the way
by which many poor farm has been
changed into q good one. and land
which barely paid its taxes has been
made to yield an excellent living, but
this has been done only by good.

There are many little wastes in the
dairy which might be avoided with
little care. A Danish dairy
paper calls attention to one that
was overcome in practical way.
The wastes from not draining the
cans when emptied into the

creamery receiving IL, 200 pounds OF
milk daily, twenty-eight to thirty
pounds per day. In German cream
cry this was found 10 be above the
average richness, SO that over 800

cans so they would thoroughly drain
after the milk was poured into the
weigh can. This is IA small item, but
IL is the little things that make the
larger savings possible. - New York

Save the Elephants.

The elephant Of Africa is still toll
erably abundant animal. Its numbers,
though doubtless diminished by more
than one-half within this century, are
probably To be counted by the hun
dred thousand. Nevertheless, in less
than hundred years the field which
they occupied has been greatly re-
duced, and between the ivory hunter
and the sportsmen OF our brutal race
armed with guns OF ever-incrcasing
deadliness, il will certainly not re-
quire another century OF free shoot
cies. In view OF the present con
dition OF the life Of these noble beasts
IL seems i'm n high measure desirable
that IA thoroughgoing effort should be
made To extend the domestication to
the point where the form will not
only he won from the wilds, bnt will
be permanent element in our civiliz-
alton, in the manner OF our common
ilocks and herds. IL will he an en-
during shame IL. 10y neglect OF our
opportunities, the utmost is not done
to attain this end. IL appears fit
that this task should la undertaken
by the British Government, which in
modern days has displayed n skill
and forethought in the administers
tion Of its Indian provinces, unex-
nmplcd in the history OF colonies. -

BURIAL AT Sc A.
II Sobers Crew and Passengers and
Oppressiveiy Solemn.

Il can't imagine II more oppres-
sively solemn ceremony than "A burial
ut sea, said Captain j. \. Denny,
to II st. Louis reporter. 1T is sol
emn enough on land, except when
the remains OF the late lamented are
being carried from Washington in
charge Of Congressional committee
but "a burial at sea surpasses the
ceremony on land in point OF solemn
ity as much as the awful grandeur Of
mid-ocean surpasses the mild, soft
beauty of tranquil lake. Men OF
the sea are not given TO sentimental
musings.
The constant menace to life
makes them reckless and ribali.
But when death occurs on board
ship the meek and humble piety
which characterizes both crew and
passengers would do credit to a
Quaker congregation. The great,
desolate stretch of water. with it's
mountainous billows and its bowling
gales, seems TO invest the presence of
the grin reaper with more merci-
less character and brings to the
minds Of the living a more realizing
sense Of the terrors of death than is
felt on land, with it's houses and
rushing trains and carolling birds
trilling trenody from every bough
along the line of march from church
to graveyard. You can depend upon
it, that no matter how rough and
l. l.a ha taly on l,i
hat and bares his head to the pitiless
sky whenever he passes the corpse.
The feeling of oppression which
extends all over the ship when a
death occurs is SO overpowering that
for this very reason, if for no other,
il is necessary to get rid Of the corpse
with all possible speed. And the
getting rid 9of it is "a climax 10 the
tragedy more shocking than anything
the man who has never experienced
it can imagine. The idea of dropping
the cold insensate mass OF mortal
clay into the limitless, bottomless
ocean, to be gnawed at and nibbled
by the greedy monsters OF the deep
is horrifying to the stoutest heart.
And yet there is ever present TO the
captain that horrible realization that
it must be done, and, as everybody
shrnks from doing it, it devolves
upon him to do it with his own
hands.
The body is strapped to bare
board, face up. To the foot OF the
board are attached heavy weights,
usually cannon balls. Then this
board is showed out over the bow Of
the ship by some Of the crew, who,
after doing this, make haste to
scurry back out OF sight OF the fipal
proceedings, leaving no one there
but the captain, whose duty it is to
tip up the board and let it drop into
the sea, feet foremost. Maybe you
think you can sleep after doing that.
If you do, just volunteer TO perform
this service for the first captain on
whose boat you are passenger when
a death occurs. | assure you that
you won't get any more sleep for a
good many nights afterwards.

STACKING Hay.

Hay keeps best In round stack. III
the stacks are to go up by hand, plant
pole about twenty-five feet high and
stack around il to the top, trsmpins
thoroughly near the pole. Then rake
the sides thoroughly after few days
settling, aud there will be no percep-
tible taste. 1t is cheaper to put hay
mp in this way than to build barus and
haul it in. Cheaper because the hay
goes up faster and lessons the danger
of loss by rain cheaper because labor
is high and time is precious in hay
harvest; cheaper because it costs
money to build barns. Some may
scout the idea OF having to use pole
for guide. Better use pole and
have all your stacks perfect than to
serve your false pride and have part
of the stacks lose their tops in the
wind, or lean over and leak water. If
the stacking is to be done by a machine,
still adhere to the round form, throw
ing each delivery on top of the former
aud stack just enough to give the pile
good form. Bud the sack about
twenty eight feet high and put about
fifteen tons in it. The hand-buiIt
stack should have about five tons in
it, The small stack always cures best
and makes the finest hay. Rural Life.

DR.. Greene's remedies doing every day
for those poor sufferers. They are making
strong, able men out of weak, nervous suf-

Physicians have always been in the habit of
prescribing poisons for this disease, and the
harm done by them is incalculabl Such
poisonous drugs do not in the least build up
and strengthen the system, they only impov-
erish the blood, weaken still more the already
exhausted nerves, and make the patient worse
than before taking them. Common Sc will
tell all thinking persons that harmless vege-
table remedies which give renewed strength

well as all chronic and nervous diseases.
Thousands of unhappy sufferers all over the
land are constantly being cured by his won
derful remedies. If you belong to this class,
do not delay another moment, but consult
DR.. Greene, take these remedies yourself and
get we'll. For you will be cured just so sure
ly as you take them. His Office is at "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass, where he consults
with all, free of charge.
Another great blessing to these patients is
the doctors system Of letter correspondence.
This enables men all over the United States,
suffering from this disease, to consult him
without leaving their homes, and absolutely
free of charge. Write him letter stating
how you feel, and he will answer it, describ-
ing your complaint thoroughly, telling what
to do to be cured, and the cost of the neces-
sary medicines.
This system Of treatment through letter
correspondence has proved of incalculable
Importance, thousands of men are being
cured by it who could never afford to come to
the city, but who, by having the medicines
sent them, at the low prices which the Doc
tor always charges, are enabled to be perfect

TEACHING THE CAT Il LESSON.

The man who always has cure for
showed one of his strokes of genius
the other day. His wife's cat had ac-
quired fOndness for one of the bath
tubs in the house. Of course, the mas
ter of the house doesn't like cats
sFannie," he said, II found that cat
snoozing in my bathtub again to- day"
"Pm sorry, DEAR" she said. 81
have tried to break her of that habit,
but don't seem to succeed"
"Well, we must have that catdrown-
3D." he said fiercely.
His wife protested mildly.
''That is the only annoying trick
she has," she said. cit would be a
pity to kill her."
"Then," said the man of the house,
cpl take this thing into my own
hands. Now, I'll just explain to you
how I'll do to break her Of it.
You know how she gets into the tub.
She takes run, leaps to the edge and
goes in without stop. Pm going to
run about three inches of water into
the tub, let it stand there and let her
get sousing. You know how a cat
likes water" he added significantly.
He put his plan into operation at
once. That afternoon pussie did her
little hurdle race, as usual, over the
side of the bath tub. The plan work
ed to perfection. There was loud
cry, streak of cat through the dress
ing room and a wet flash into the sew
ing room. Near the door of the room
stood a perch on which rested in
peaceful sleepiness a dignified par
rot. The cat tried this hurdle but
missed it, and the parrot, knocked to
the floor, added to the force Of the
cyclone which went raging around
the house. A table was knocked over
and a statue of the Venus of Milo,
already short of arms, was made leg
less, and the adored baby of the house
was frightened into spasms, the par
rot scolded and screamed herself into
fit and afterward the dripping
cat, having made lightning
tour Of the house, was found trem-
bling and subdued, on her mistress
jacket, price sos.
81 hope" said the lord of the man
or, when he surveyed the scene Of
the wreckage, "that this will teach
your cat lesson"
81 hope So" said the wife, soothing
the baby and looking at her jacket
with mournful eyes.
"There is only one way to go about
such things" said the husband, with
satisfaction. I pride myself on being
able to handle animals" And his wife
discreetly said nothing.
