INDIAN LocKJAw CURE.
Man Saved From Death by n Simple
Bean Poultice.

Bean POultice.
Doctors everywhere have horror
OF lockiaw. They realize that once n
patient is attacked by that disease his
life is sure to fade rapidly away. Had
they known OF the remedy an old In.
dian squaw possessed when the epi-
demic of the disease struck the com.
munity as the result of last Fourth of
July celebrations they would have
had little fear. An old resident of
Long Island told of the cure to O
friend in this city. "The newspapers
amt telling no lie," he said, "when
they say there's more danger of lock.
jaw on Long leland than there is in
most other places. 1 don't under
stand none of this new-fangled talk
about microbes and such, but know
for fact that there's lot more dan
ger in cuts and bruises in the eastern
part of the island, where my father
used to live when he was boy, than
there is-well, even around about
Jamaica, where my folks live now.
'T never heard of but one case
where the patient was cured after his
face was set, and that wasn't by q
doctor, but by an old Indian squaw.
That patient was my father, and it
was away back in the twenties, when
there were lots of Indians left on
Long Island. He was nearly grown
Up at the time, but still going bare
footed in summer, and cut his foot
very badly by stepping on a broken
bottle. He did not Fay much atten-
tion to it, being pretty tough and
hardy. 1t wasn't long, though, be-
sore symptoms of lockjaw set in. The
nearest doctor lived dozen miles
away, and if my fathers face wasn't
exactly seJ it was next door to it,
when his mother thought of an old
squaw, who lived only little way
down the road, and who had quite a
name as an herb doctor.
"She came as soon as she was sent
for, and the first thing she done was
to make bean poultice, sprinkle it
with soda and clap it on the cut. 1t
kept the wound open, and / suppose
1t killed the microbes. L know rather
said it nearly killed him, and if the
old squaw hadn't stood by and pre-
vented it he would have had it of in
no time. But it cured him all right,
and afterward when he heard of doc
tors losing lockiaw cases he used to
say that it was because they didn't
know beans. ."-Chicago Chronicle.

the accompanying illustration answers
very nicely for fencing across these
creeks. To the posts on either side,
which may be growing trees, attach
No. wire, Ns shown in the engrav-
ing, and stretch it tight. Secure two
crosspieces, aa, and then select
boards Of the proper length to fit the
curvature of the bed. Nail these on
and then attach the uprights, pro-
vided for that purpose. Suspend
from the cross wire, as shown in the

sirable food gate and one that will
not be carried away in time of a

wiihelmina's Iden of EnGlishnon.

Some of the anecdotes told of Queen
Wilhelmina, the young Queen OF the
Netherlands, are interesting. One
day the little queen was busily occu
pied in bringing mp her DOLLS in the
way they should so. One of them,
however, was particularly obstinate,
and the queen was seen to shake it
violently, and say, "Look here, il
you don't behave yourself I'll make
you queen and then you'll have no
one to play with" When on visit
to England and asked by the Prince
Of Wales what she thought of the
English people, she replied; "They
are very nice and amiable, but I
should never have thought it from the
specimens ] have seen in Holland" a
remark that is said to have sent the
Prince into peals OF laughter. Buffalo

,usgeu,ons FOR pe.,r.yrpr Weeds.

'uggesiIons For Destroying Weeds.
To destroy perennial weeds, seed
production must be prevented and the
underground portion must be killed.
Seed production may be prevented by
moving when the first flower buds ap-
pear, the same as with ANNALS or BIZ
HnniGls The best methods for kill.
ing the rootstocks vary considerably
according to the soil, climate, charac-
ter OF tho different weeds, and the
size OF the patch or the quantity to be
killed. In general, however, the fol-
lowing principles apply:
The rootstock may be dug up and
removed, remedy that eau be prac-
tically applied only in small areas.
Salt, coal oil, or strong acid applied
so as to come III contact with the
ireshly-cut roots or rootstocks de-
stroys them for some distance from
the point of contact. Crude sulphuric
acid is probably the most effective of
comparatively inexpensive materials
that can be used for this purpose, but
its strong corrosive properties render
it dangerous to handle.
Most rootstocks are readily de-
stroyed by exposing them to the di-
rect action of the sun during the sum
mer drought, or to the direct action of
the frost in winter. In this way plow-
ing becomes effective.
Any cultivation which merely
breaks up the rootstocks aud leaves
them in the ground, especially during
wet weather, aids i'll their distribu-
ton aud multiplication, and is worse
than useless, unless the cultivation is
continued so as to prevent any growth
above ground. Flowing and fitting
corn ground in April aud May, and
cultivating at intervals until the last
of June, then leaving the land un-
cultivated during the remainder of
the season, is one of the best methods
to encourage the growth of quack-
grass, and many other perennial
weeds,

are not allowed to get start, but If
they are, there is no end of trouble.
There IS month ahead of rs when
most flowers, il proper attention is
given them, will be blooming and
thriving. But if they are neglected,
they usually appear more unsightly
than their bare stalks in winter do,
for they are shaggy, and it appears
such an effort for them to put forth
their incomplete bloom that it is dis.
tressirg to look upon them. .-Agri.

On Mixed Breeds For Butter Making.
When the cream from several COWS
is churned together, there is often
some one or more among them whose
cream does not break as quickly as
Goes that OF the others. Churning is
practically suspended when the first
bntter has graduated, and the cream
which has not yet become butter
passes Off in the bultermilk, there it
is almost total loss.
1t may be that such a COW is OF
another breed which has smaller but
ter globules, or it may be farrow
COW, in which casethe butter is envel-
oped in tougher casing, but the re-
suit is the same. A COW whose cream
is known TO be long in churning when
churned alone should not have her
cream churued with those that come
quickly, but her cream should be kept
apart and churned by itself, if any but
ter is to be obtained from it.
We think n thorough mixing and
~ipening OF the cream before churning
tenls to lessen this evil to some ex.
tent, but not entirely, and this is q
strong argument against having n
nerd Of mixed breeds for butter max
lug.
