JOHNSON GRASS.
Method for killing It Out Pursued on the

Method for killing It Out Pursued on the
Texas College Farm.
On the College farm a tract of about
ten acres was sown to johnson grass
seven or eight years ago for the pur-
pose of obtaining a permanent mead
ow, and. Notwithstanding manure was
applied. it did not make a good yield.
The soil is a light, sandy loan, vary
ing in depth from five to ten inches,
with stiff impervious clay sub-soil.
into which the roots do not penetrate,
which accounts for the poor growth.
As usual the grass did not fail to scat.
ter its seeds over the entire farm, soon
becoming serious nuisance. 1t was
decided to get rid Of the grass
if possible by close cultivation. This
meadow was broken broadcast in the
early fall with turning pillow and
Immediately narrowed thoroughly with
a springtoothed harrow: was at this
time dry and warm. Nothing more was
done until about the LIST of February,
when it was again broken broadcast
with turning pillow and narrowed with
springtoothed harrow. thoroughly pull
verizing the soil SO as to admit of easy
surface cultivation with sweep. 1t was
prepared for late planting of cotton;
about the LIST of May by working
broadcast and bedding with solid
sweep once to the row, at which time
the soil was in excellent filth. Cotton
was planted Immediately: came up in a
few days and grew off nicely. 1t was
given frequent shallow cultivation
with buzzard wing sweeps. the cultiva-
ton was continued until about 18th of
The following fall when picking the
cotton, only a few sprigs Of the grass
could be found, and these for the most
part. appeared on the SANDY mounds"
where the clay sub-soil does not come
near the surface. The following spring
this land was put to corn, but was not
SO carefully cultivated; it was followed
by cotton this year. closely cultivated
with sweep. This spring only few
punches of johnson grass can be seen.

Cheese and Fruit Sandwiches.

Have you ever tried cream cheese and
fruit sandwiches? For these mash any
fruit as you would the strawberries,
favoring and sweetening them to taste.
Have ready some slices Of bread (tiny
scones or slim cakes are delicious for
this and lay on each . thin slice Of
pure cream cheese sprinkled with cas-
ter sugar. and on this again a layer Of
mashed fruit, and put them together,
pressing them slightly on to each other.
Cream cheese. either sweetened or not.

love. Of Carson. City. New, presented
her husband with a bouncing pair Of
twins. This fact Of itself Is not out
Of the ordinary but when it is known
that the lady was sixty-three years Of
age at that time. and the husband over
seventy. 1t becomes an item worthy Of
record In all annals devoted to oddities
respecting human beings. The Breed
loves are said to be the oldest couple In
the world that were ever so favored.

If any farmer is not able to pay his

help. and he will not call in'vain if he
treats them as he should. ~

The difference between two pro

difference between forty bushels Of

The melancholy fact that stock

On many farms one of the princi-
pal causes of failure to make good
butter is the lack of uniformity in the
conditions under which the work is
done.

On most farms the poultry don't
receive the care and attention that the
other animals do, and thus the average
product of eggs and fowls are kept
down by carelessness.

where a new orchard is planted on the

trees have been removed, that the re-

years.
Every now and then a farmer sug-
gests that he hasn't time to read much
during the busy months of the sum-
mer. This doubtless depends much
upon the man and the use he makes Of
modern improvements and his opportu-
mites.
There is no method known for dis

Don't you suppose the fowls enjoy it

Farmers are not over boastful Of
the peach and cherry prospects this
year. Peaches have for years been un-
reliable in this latitude, but we fancy
the farmer has not been watchful
enough of the modern enemies Of
peaches, since they are attacked both
through the soil and through the
atmosphere these days. So far as
blossoms indicate it, we should say
all fruits are promising this year; but
they are subject of course to the in
fuential elements in the hands of God
alone.

IN THE LAND OF GOLD.
Panoramic Views fthe California Mid winter
Exposition.

Not before, since the excitement
following the discovery of gold by
John Marshall, at Suffers Mill, in
IS4S, has there been such rush of
people to California not in pursuit
OF gold, however, but by persons who
desire to see the magnificent, the
world surprising displays at the Mid.
winter Fair. But while thousands are
visiting the Fair, hundreds of thousands
are unable, for various reasons, to
crafty their longings to attend that
splendid exposition. This commenda-
ole, but unappeased, ambition may,
nevertheless, be gratihed by all the
readers OF the COLUMBIAN, who will
take the trouble to secure Parts II
and Is of Magic City," which we
are now distributing at a price that
barely covers the expense of producing
them. These two concluding parts Of
our splendid Worlds Exposition Port.
foios contain no less than forty views
Of the fine buildings and attractions
of the Mid-winter Fair, including
among the collection also pictures of
the reproduced life in California,
during the days of the gold excite
ment, as it WAS shown at the FAIR.
Among these characteristic views are
photographs Of gambling places, sa-
looms, theatres, mining camp, wash
ing and panning for gold, Mount
Shasta, free and easies, dance houses
the fandango, toll house, stage drivers,
and indeed all the wonderful life on
the coast in IS49-5o. This is the
greatest feature of the Mid-wlnter
Fair, and photographs in parts u and
IS Of "Magic City" will show them
almost as satisfactorily as the reality.
But besides these there are pictures
of all the other leading attractions
and displays, enabling those who
secure these parts to see the FAIR
with degree of satisfaction almost
equal to personal attendance.
Our distribution of the "Magic
City" series has been magnificent
success, not alone from a standpoint
of the extent of circulation, but be.
cause it has been SO thoroughly ap.
preciated by everyone who has Sc
cured the series. We feel a pleasure
in the fact that of the many Worlds
Fair Portfolios handled by other
papers none have been SO complete,
so beautiful, so meritorious in every
respect as the Magic City" Our
patrons are thus convinced that they
can rely upon us to serve them faith.
fully, and to give them every advan-
tage that is possible for us to secure
that we do not misrepresent or attempt
to deceive that every claim we have
made as to the infinite superiority OF
"Magic City" over all other similar
publications has been verified by
every person who has compared them
The series close with No. IS, now
ready for delivery. Those who have
neglected to obtain the parts as issued
have still a chance to secure them
but the opportunity will last for only
a short while. We will supply the
entire eighteen parts for one coupon
and ten cents for each part.

A little more pressure; some sudden
grief, real or even imagined unkindness
from loved ones, and over the brink fall
one more victim of nervous prostration.
1t came upon you so quietly, in the be-
ginning, that you were not alarmed. But
when sleep deserted you night after night,
until your eyes fairly burned the darkness,
then you tossed in nervous agony, praying
for sleep.
You ought to have known when you
ceased to be regular in your courses, and
you grew so irritable without cause, that
there was serious trouble somewhere.
You ought to be told that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb'displacements, fainting,
dizziness, and backache send the nerves
wild with alright, and you cannot sleep.
Want of sleep gives birth to thousand
morbid fancies of the brain.
