LEARN TO RELAX.

II Is strange how few people really
know how to relax. TO let the bed hold

You can add years 10 your life by

Mrs. Browning says: HE lives most

VARIETIES OF SEED CORN.

Every year new varieties OF seed
corn are offered which are claimed will
give extraordinary yields. Farmers
should hesitate before investing in new
seed corn. except with a small guam
tity for experimental purposes. Corn
produces only when the climatic con-
ditions are favorable and varieties that
flourish south Of this section may fail
when brought North. Frequently,
when the frost has appeared late in
spring, and delayed planting. an early
maturing variety may be required as
an early frost in the fall of the year
may destroy variety that requires
plenty of time for maturing its seed.
DO not abandon the old and tried va
ricties until experiments demonstrate
that newer kinds are much better

DESTROYING WEEDS.

The easiest and best way 10 destroy
all kinds Of weeds is when they are
just beginning TO appear above ground.
as even a slight stirring of the soil will
then seriously cripple them. II weeds
are permitted 10 grow, however, they
make excellent green material for
blowing under, but while they may
nearly reach maturity before being
thus utilized, under no circumstances
must they be permitted TO produce
seed. II no weeds are allowed 10 scat

before the farm will be entirely clear
