cations were enlarged. None of the
processes by which seed production
may be prevented or root stocks killed
are regarded as impracticable, but ID
MANY cases weed determination Is I'M
possible and their reduction to state
of comparative harmlessness is all that
can be looked for.
The report urges all land owners to
be on the watch for new plants and
learn their character, if possible, be-
fore they become established and as
sert themselves as aggressive weeds on
farms. This is practically the only
possible method of complete exterml-
nation, unless public sentiment is
aroused to more vigorous and uni
versal destruction of weeds. Any
species, according to the bulletin, can
be subdued and controlled within the
limits of an ordinary farm, and unless
the value of the land is low from other
causes, this work can be probably
undertaken.
Prevention of seed production in
cases of ANIMALS will gradually reduce
the quantity of weeds and prevent
further spreading. This is accom-
plished in cultivated fields by burning
over to destroy as many as possible oil
the seeds on the surface, and success
sive blowing is required. Broken
lands should not be permitted to re-
main idle, and moving or cutting off
the main stems of weeds is deprecated
as multiplying the stalks; but cutting
the roots below the crowd usually kills
them. Destruction of terrenil seeds
is best procured by prevention of seed
and by killing the under
ground portion. New York Adver-
tiser.

Many men have made good soldiers
and brave commanders who, neverthe-
less, had no relish for fighting. Gen.
Oudinot, SO famous in the wars of
Napoleon, was a warrior Of another
type, says the Youths Companion. He
seemed, at all events, to love war for
Its own sake. His fiery temper and his
ideal Of a soldier are well eXemplfffed
In two brief anecdotes gathered from
his biography, recently published
In July, 1905, when Oudinot was 30
years old, the Emperor reviewed the
grenadiers at their camp at Boulogne.
The customary maneuvers were per-
formed, and at the end General Oudi-
not-in command Of the grenadiers-
started to march at the head of the line
before Napoleon.
He put the spurs to his horse, and
the steed baked. The struggle was
brief, for the exasperated General
drew his sword and gave the horse
such a stab in the neck that In another
moment the horse lay stretched upon
the sand.
That night the commander of the
grenaders dined with the Emperor,
and, in the course Of the meal, Napo-
leon said:
as that the way you treat your hors-
esq"
"Sire," answered Oudinot, "when
anything knows not how to obey, that
is my method"
The second anecdote is even more
grim. Some one spoke to Oudinot about
the deep affection which a general
must cherish for his devoted troops.
love them!" he exclaimed. "Do I
love them? All! l think dol I have
had them all kflledr'
There spoke the born fighter, who
shirked no danger himself, and &C
counted 1t the most enviable lot Of q
soldier to die on the field.

Change of Life.

When woman approaches the change OF
life she is liable to have return of all the
menstrual arrangements, and other ailments
that afflicted her in former years. The direct
action of McElree's Wine of Cardui on the or
gans afflicted, make it the best remedy for use
during this period.
Mrs. D. Pennington, West Plains, Mo-, says;
II had been suffering from change of life and
it took the form of dropsy. The doctors told

SALT BOX FOR THE OPEN FIELD.

Live stock should either have q
quantity of salt mingled in their food,
or it should be fed to them direct. If
you trust to feeding them salt at
stated intervals the chances are they
will often be neglected for some period
beyond the stated time consequently,
when it is fed them, they will indulge
too freely and the well-known loosen
ing effect of the salt is observed. The

salt where it will be accessible to
them at all times, and this is done in
no more satisfactory way than by the
use of covered salt box similar to
the one shown in the sketch by L. ID.
Shook. The box is fourteen inches
long, nine inches wide, eight inches
high at the back and six inches in
front. The box is firmly nailed to
the fence board, or to post or side
of building, as most convenient.
The cover is hinged, and has bevel-
shaped piece, e, nailed at the top to
prevent splitting; also to cause the
cover to fall back in position. The
front end of the box, a, is cut away,
exposing the salt, and in trying to get
it the cover is raised. Cattle readily
learn to raise the cover when they are
salt hungry. The stake placed under
the box in front holds it firmly in po-
sition, and the whole makes cheap
and convenient arrangement, as from
q weeks to several weeks supply of
salt can be placed in the box at once.
