THE CURSE OF WEEDS.
Noxious Plant Growth Does More
Than Anything Else to Lessen
the Profits of Farming.

How are weeds to be eradicated? !?
Know what kinds of weeds infest your
premises. Know their characteristics
and habits of growth. Learn how
they propagate themselves. Study
them from every standpoint. Then
apply the remedy which will suggest
itself. Concerted action among farm
ers determined to rid their farms of
all forms of Objectionable weed life
will attain the ends sought. Individ-
ua1 activity in this direction is high
ly desirable, but without harmonious
action among all interested it will
require a much longer period. Indi-
vidual effort will beget larger inter-
est and purpose, and the result will
be that in a short time the entire
country will be inoculated with the
Notwithstanding fever. Then weeds
will go.
The destruction of annual weeds is
accomplished by preventing them
from producing seed, which involves
the cutting off of tops before seed is
produced. Biennials, which propa-
gate by root stalks and seeds, re-
quire more rigid methods of eradi-
cation. They yield only to persistent
cutting off of tops which prevents
seeds from forming and deprives
them of plant food from the air.
Perennials are still more stubborn
than either Of the others. Most
weeds are perennials. Annua1s are
the most easily destroyed. All kinds
of weeds, whether ANNALS, biennials
or perennials, may be destroyed if
their tops be kept cut off at the sur
face of the ground, no stems being
permitted to develop. This results
in the starvation of the roots, as it
were; the laboratory with which they
act in harmony being removed their
own functions are destroyed. Many
kinds of weeds may be smothered
| out by sowing the infested land to
grass or other crops which are known
to possess hardness and thick grow
ing habits.
Let every farmer consider himself
committee appointed by his best
interests to eradicate all the weeds
on his own farm. He thus may be-
gin the weed destruction movement
whose outcome VIII be the total
elimination of the thousands Of va
rieties of weeds which so seriously
menace agriculture and so materially
lessen it's "Reminiscences Voice.

Heat spoils the Duclsiings.

They Will stand almost anything, but
they cannot endure too much heat.
One of the most common troubles is
that the ducklings get weak-legged
and almost Invariably the poultry pa
pers say that it is too rich feeding that
does it. The minute you begin to over
heat them the legs grow soft and large
SO they cannot stand up and the bill
grows so soft that they cannot pick up
food. 1t really comes from too much
heat. They are particularly suscepti-
bic to the heat of the sun. It is all
most invariably fact that if you let
them get thirsty and then give them
water and let them go into the sun
they will have conyulsions and most of
them viii die. II. Pollard, in Farm

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incura BILE
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him, and in a consultation de-
cided that he could not live
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. f. Giles, a local druggist, as
to a last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
bafHed all medical skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used, in
tEis neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the won
derful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.
