This Is terrible weed to eradicate
either from the field or the garden. 1t
spreads by means OF underground
stems. called root-stocks. These run
along below the reach of the moving
machine, or of grazing animals, and
often too deep to be disturbed by sur
face cultivation They produce buds
at their numerous scary nodes. and
these buds develop into new plants In
exactly the same manner as branches
are produced above ground. The root
stocks Of couch grass will sometimes
grow to length OF ten to fifteen feet
In one season. furnishing this weed
with means Of rapid distribution and
a character making It
most pernicious In cultivated land. The
'niy way entirely to get rid of 1t Is by
orking the ground over carefully, and
'icking it out piece by piece. Even !
he smallest bit left in the ground will
tart Into growth.-American Cultiva-

buffalo still roamei the plains. tells
Of pathetic incident OF which he was
the witness. Mr.. Steele, resting on
little hill at no great distance from

shaggy old buffalo, which stood on
the outskirts OF the group.

Many OF the agricultural papers ars
urging farmers to raise beef for mar
ket, claiming that the demand exceeds
the supply. This may be so to a GER
tain extent, but there are several other
conditions to be met before this indus
try can be made profitable to farmers
generally. As matter OF fact. the
farm and its adaptability has every
thing to do with success. There ara
many farms even in dairying sections
not at all suited to dairying, but emil
nently fitted to raising cattle for beef,
and with such a farm and a proper
knowledge of the work the results \
would probably be successful. The
question is but one OF many which
should be decided entirely on local cum
ditions and by each man for himself.
1t Is folly to generalize on some things.
and this is one Of them.

For years there has been a demand

his need.
1t is not a cod liver oil preparation
