OUTLOOK FOR TOBACCO.

 Tobacco growers have been unable, thus far, to get much tobacco damp enough for stripping. The crop, so far, appears to be of good color ana quality and free from pole sweat. The failure of Sutter Brothers is not CT couraging, as they were heavy buyers l in New Milford and vicinity It will tend to lessen competition in buying, which is not desired. The beginning of winter weather is showing its effects in the flow of milk. which is diminishing rapidly, as the farmers corn cribs are not much bur- dened with their contents, and they are not ready to buy heavily of grain at present prices of feed and milk.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human weed hourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; i; when old, sometimes inn possible.
 Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear.
 The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest.
 The time to treat consump- tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't.
 Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption SO much the better; you will soon forget 1t and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- ton you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win.
 Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment.
