essential thing is to stop the scattering
of the seeds. In the late summer and
autumn seeds are blown about freely
by the wind, and are carried from one
State to another by birds. The ideal
way is to cut down the weeds before
they go to seed; then neither birds nor
wind can scatter them. But While ev-
cry farmer might do this there would
still be enough weeds left in the aban-
to keep up the supply.
One of the most frequent methods of
spreading weeds is through the use of
manure that comes from unknown
sources. Manure that comes from City
stables, such fertilizer that comes from
the country is very apt to contain the
seeds of noxious weeds that will ger
inmate and spread as soon as applied
to the land The Canada thistle, pig
weed. and innumerable other pests of
this character have spread throughout
the country through the manure more
than by the winds or railroads. Man.
ure full of weed seeds is not worth the
room it takes up and one cannot be too
careful in avoiding it. In the end it
will cause more trouble than it will
do good. The farmer who is so care
less and shiftless as to let weeds grow
all over the manure pile, and go to seed
there, does not deserve to find Gus
toner for it. Yet this is often the case.
Bagweed, golden-rod and pigweed COW
er many pile of manure in this coun-
try, and there is no effort made to check
their growth before they go to seed.
In the winter time or early spring this
manure is spread over the cultivated
fields, with the weed seeds in it, and the
result is easily guessed. With little
more care good deal of labor might
be avoided. Weeds should not be al
lowed to mature anywhere, least of all
those growing on or near the manure
heap.-W. E. Farmer, in Wisconsin
Agriculturist.

Poultry as a Source of Revenue

Farmers in a good many portions Of
the country are beginning to understand
the importance of poultry as a source
of revenue and have abandoned the no.
lion that flock of hens is to be allowed
to live on sufferance because the wo-
men-folk need some money occasionai-
~
They begin to understand that the
flock of hens is valuable in more ways
than the production of eggs to trade
for groceries. They know now that a
flock of hens is valuable as insect ex-
terminators, keeping many pests in
check, besides devouring large quanti-
ties of the seeds of weeds that grow
up in neglected corners and ripen,
where they would furnish seeds to in
fest the whole farm, where it not for
the industry of the hens in picking
them up and turning them to good use
by using them for feed
The principal trouble with farmers
has been that they do not keep as
much poultry as they might. They
keep from SO to 100 fowls and turn
them loose to forage for themselves,
by fining their feed in the hog yards,
corncribs and around the grain racks
and straw piles. By thus neglecting
poultry they fail to make the flock pay
as much as it should The time is COM
ing when the care of the poultry will
be as much one of the regular duties
on the farm as feeding the hogs or cat
tie. When this time comes the poul-
try industry of this country will be
great enough to prevent importations
by the hundred thousand dozens from
foreign countries, and so much more of
the money of the country will stay

The influence of climate on skin
diseases is thought by DIR. L. b.
Buckley to be question of import
ance, deserving careful study. Lep
ROSY, which is not especially favored
by heat or cold nor by dampness or
dryness, seems to deI end for its ex-
istence upon some little understood
climatic conditions, and it does not
spread in the United States. New
York, where lepers are almost con-
stantly present, has never had an &C.
quired case of the disease. Eczema
is much more common in our change
able climate than in lands OF even
cold or warmth and is aggravated in
cold damp weather. Acne, boils and
parasitic skin diseases are worst
near the sea-coast.

By the loud-speaking telephone of
M. German singing and speaking are

extremely sensitive vibrating discs

To these discs are fixed small cylin-

was dark and they lit a small candle.
This is against the hotels rules, as

candle light is only to be used when
other means of illumination is un-
available.
The benzine ignited and exploded,
and Mahon was burned about the back

she dashed down the steps into the

put out the blaze on his clothes.
Miss McGinnis was taken to her

He pronounced her condition danger

LITTLE LIBEL CASE ARGUED.
Superior Court Heard the Case Dis

Arguments were heard By the SUPER
Tor court, i'm Philadelphia, yesterday,
in the Little libel case aud the appeal
from the decree Incorporating the Dor-
ough Of Old Forge.
Cornelius Smith. representing the
appellant, began the argument in the
libel case, going over all of the many
reasons advanced for o. reversal of
Judgment and new trial When he
had concluded the court instructed
O'Bricn & Kelly and T.. G. Newcomb,
who appeared for the prosecution, to
contlne their arguments to the first
two reasons, which referred to the re-
fusal of the court to admit the testi-
mony Of John j. Grady, by which the
defense proposed to prove the truth OF
the charges contained in the libelous
articles.
Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Ncwcomb, who
made the arguments, cOntended that
as the libcllcd party was not a can
didatc for office and his conduct Of 10
concern to the general public, the con-
muniCatIors were not privileged. and
therefore the truth or falsity OF the
articles were not material. Mr.. Len
