"A CARD.

MR. ED1ToR,-Seeing several cases in the
papers lately of people being cured by Dr.
Chase's treatment. I thought would like to tel
the public how was cured. For years had
been troubled with adifficultythat was obliged
to go TO the Maine General Hospital with sew
eral times, undergoing a surgical operation
which was very painfuland dangerous. while
ago my trouble was gettipgYery bad and had
made up my mind to go again when the weather
you go and try Dr.. Chase, No 372 Cumberland
Street?" laughed at the idea. but on being
urged said would try anything to get relief
am only too happy to say have never had to
go to the hospital since. for I am well and
cured without medicine. Will gladly tell any
one about it if they will call on me.

Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.
The market was almost at a standstill pend
ing advices as to the action of c. B. s. @. direc-
tors, and when the regular dividend was declar-
cd prices rose sharply on the covering of shorts.
The advance was maintained in spite OF the fact
that wheat made another low record and closed
at only moderate rally. Sentimentally the ac-
ton of the c. B. & Q. management was favora-
BILE, it being argued that it indicated eXpecta-
ton OF Improvement later on 1t seems to many
conservative persons. however. that wise pol
Icy would have been to reduce the current pay
ment, and we doubt whether more than super
fetal influence will be produced by leaving the
rate unchanged. There is little ground for be-
lieving that railway earnings will SNOW improve
ment for some time to come. General business
as reflected in the bank exchanges is still lar
below the volume of last year with the tarllf
question unsettled yet. and the revival OF trade
waiting for definite legislation which may not
be accomplished for two or three months The
depression in agricultural products is especially
vital to the interests of the Granger roads, and
until there is important recovery in this direc-
tion it is doubtful If rates traffic will be salts
factory to the roads. Sterling Exchange re-
mains strong in the face OF extremely favorable
trade balance. and the only reasonable explain
alton is to be found in the superior money at
fractions on the other side, which is drawing
foreign capital tn Europe. The speculation has
not materially changed its character, and there
is Il constant scarcity of offerings of stocks.
folders refuse to sell under bear pressure, and
the low values prevailing protects the market
from serious declines. But to-day's advance
was. apparently, due to covering of shorts and
to u decided extent the market has lost this ele
ment OF support. We are inclined to think that
an early setback is in order. and we should not
advise purchases except on the weak days.

''Our physicians in the children's depart
ment have spoken highly of their expert
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it,

JOHNSON GRASS.

Method for killing 1t Out Pursued on the
Texas College Farm.
On the College farm tract of about
ten acres was sown to johnson grass
seven or eight years ago for the pur-
pose of obtaining a perlna nent mead
o1v, 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 inpervious clay sub-soi1,
into which the roots do not penetrate,
which accounts for the poor growth.
AS usual the grass did not fail to scat
ter it's 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
carly fall with turning plow and
immediately narrowed thoroughly with
n springtoothed harrow: at this
time dry and warm. Nothing more was
done until about the list of February,
when it again broken broadcast
with turning plOw and narrowed with
springtoothed harrow, thoroughly pull
verizing the soil so 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 81
few days and grew off nicely. 1t was
given frequent shallow cultivation
with buzzsrd wing sweeps, the cultiva-
ton was continued until about 18th of
August.
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 a few
punches of johnson grass can be seen.
