The Dock Weed.

The Dock Weed.
On meadow land the narrow dock Is
one of the worst Of weeds 1t is so tena-
cious of life that even after 1t Is pulled
up and partly dried It win grow again
when wet by rains and allowed to
touch the damp soil. 1t Is very COM
monty aiiowed to seed, and the plant
being cut with the grass goes into the
hay, and the seeds are thus distributed
In the manure pile. 1t Is In this way
that the plant is distributed In locali-
ties where none was known before
The seeds are very tenacious OF vital
ity as they win undergo heating In a.
manure pile, and then grow quite as
well as before being subjected to this
ordeal, which will kill most other seeds
The dock roots can be pulled up
while the ground Is soft In the spring,
or from recent heavy rains any time
during the summer. But do not leave
them on the fences, thinking that they
will thus dry out 80 as to be incapable
Of growing again.

Pena for Fattenlng pIgs.

Corn is not the best food for young
hogs, yet as 1t is more generally grown
than any other, and Is the cheapest
grain feed, II is the staple ration. A
diet OF peas Is much better for making
growth. AS the peas can be sown
broadcast, they need no cultlvating,
and the crop may even be harvested
by turning the pigs In and letting them
eat what they will We knowa farmer
who every year grows three 10 Ave
acres Of field peas. He gets the seed
from Canada to avoid the pea bug, but
in localities where few peas have been
grown the pea bug has so far disap-
peared for lack Of Its favorite food
that the pea can be grown for several
years without any trouble from this
source Our farmer usually gets 20 10
80 bushels per acre, and says the peas
cost less per bushel than the same
amount OF corn. He has the peaa
ground with oats and corn, and keeps
some OF this mixture to feed his pigs

grain feed does much more good than
1t will In cold weather. American Cul

DEAFNESS cANsor BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that Is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an fnfiamed
condition OF the mucous lining OF Eustaehian
Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have
rambling sound OF imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

Avoiding sicknesa.


There is nothing more essential to the
success OF business man than the good
health of himself and his family. This
Is especially true Of the farmer, who
must give personal attention TO every
part OF his business and whose family
Is closely connected with his work.
Anything that interferes with the use
fulness of any one In the average farm
home Is serious hindrance. For busi-
nesss reasons, therefore, the farmer
cannot afford to have sickness in his
household. One of the most common
causes of sickness in the country Is over
work. Many women especially suffer
from this cause and do not seem to real
ize it, nor do their households. Another
common cause of sickness Is neglect of
sanitary precautions. The country
home Is usually we'll situated to avoid
trouble Of this kind, but SO often have
we seen surroundings that invited dis
ease that we have thought a country
health inspector would not be out Of
place. 1t should not be difficult to pre-
vent the pollution of air, water or food
in the country, and IL these are all pure
there need be little fear Of trouble.

roadbed at the rocky portions, which
will be smoothed down with wear, he
can trot from the bottom of the grade to
the top. In Wasco the road to the Des
Chutes grade is first-class. But there
should be more work done on this grade.
The road should be cut deeper on the
inner side and the rut~fIled on the outer
eide. There should also be more turn
ing out places. The free bridge is IN
good condition except for some plank
which should be put in. The Sherman
