able to use his farm much longer for
this purpose, for it already is seri-
ously infested with kind of weevil
that soon destroys the fields when
it becomes numerous, and which can
not be eradicated by any means yet
discovered. The milkweed which he
grows is the came that is found wild
all through this country, but by
skillful farming it is made to reach
height of ten feet and bears husks
that average about eight inches in
length and two inches in diameter.
These husks, containing the fibre
and seed are not opened here, but
are dried sligh thy and then packed
in salt and then shipped across the
ocean. Milkweed cannot be raised
in Japan in quantities that amount
TO anything Oh Importance, Tor the
weevil long ago obtained so strong
hold that it cannot be driven out.
The milkweed farming is profitable
and it is to be regretted that some
way cannot be discovered for exter-
the weevil.

OIL STOVES.

Every family should have and wants
a first -class Oil Stove. Up to the in
PRODUCTION Of the PERFECTION, the
one great drawback and objection to
oil stoves has been their propensity to
smoke, caused by the crawling" up
ward Of the wicks. This imperfection
Is entirely overcome in the Perfection
It Is 80 arranged that 1t Is impossible
for the wick to crawl and cannot
possibly smoke. Most oil stoves have
been mussy things, hard to keep In or
der and clean. The Perfection. Is 80
compact and simple that 1t Is as easy
to keep clean as an ordinary lamp.
Another advantage Of the Perfection
Oil Stove is that 1t can be used for
stove for ten minutes and In one min =
ute more can be converted into an IL
Illuminating lamp for the reading table.
The price is low, the stove is good,
1t makes a terrific heat In a few sec
onds and makes a beautiful clear
light as a reading lamp.
