single, well-directed, vigorous blow
with It is sufficient for each plant.
Strike deep enough to sever the root
two or three inches below the surface,
so that it may not sprout again. Draw
the plant from it's place by giving the
mattock a pull upward and forward in
raising it from the ground after the
blow.
The plants may be destroyed by the
application to the crown of each one
of a small quantity of some strong
acid, such as carbolic acid or sulphuric
acid; but this will require nearly, if
not quite, as much time as the use of
the mattock, and the cost of the ma
terial must be added to the cost of the
labor.
These methods are available in kill
ing the weed in untillable places
along fences and roadsides. If the
plants are abundant in tillable fields,
there is probably no better way than
to put the fields under cultivation. If
plowed in the fall, winter-freezing will
be serviceable in killing many of the
exposed roots. Frequent and thorough
cultivation of the growing crops will
kill others and any young plants that
may start from the weed seeds in the
soil. In an exterminating contest with
such a weed, it is important that no
plant be allowed to mature a crop of
seeds. This will require early atten-
ton to those that grow in pastures
and waste places and along roadsides.
They should be destroyed before July
Moving might be quick way of dis.
posing of the seed-bearing part of the
plant, but it would not prevent the
root from sending up new shoots. To
do this, more effectual treatment must
be given. Nor should anyone expect,
says the Country Gentleman, that he
can clear his land from this weed and
have it remain clean very long unless
he is constantly alert in destroying
1t as fast as it appears, or unless his
neighbors will unite in the warfare, so
that no source of new injection shall
remain.

To hold the timber in place when
saving secure a hickory pole about
two inches in diameter and six feet
long. Fasten one end to the ground at
one side of the horse by means of a
stake or bent wooden staple as illus.
trated. Bend the pole over the timber
to be held and fasten with a forked
stake set in the ground. But, says the
Orange Judd Farmer, small post
with holes bored in one side a few
inches apart and pin to fasten in
the holes will be found preferable to
a forked stick, as the pole can thus
be sprung down and held at different
points to suit the various kinds of
wood laid on the saw horse.

a light discharge of bloody substance

THE BUSINESS OF FARMING.
IT Has Taken Great Strides in Past
Fifty Years.


farming is the foundation of civil
ization. It is the basis of all other
creations of what we call civilization.
Before it was developed, nations were
savage. The nations that have been
most civilized have paid the most at
tention to agriculture. The savages
regard it of such little importance that
the men generally consider it fit
occupation for the weaker sex. All
the products of our country are really
dependent on agriculture, and the
more enlightened the agriculture the
more prosperous will be the nation.
Until man began to till the fields we
cannot conceive of him doing any la
Dor. Hunting and fishing were more
in the nature of recreation than of
labor. The business of farming is one
that greatly affects the character, for
by it man is brought into close con
tact with nature. For this reason
farmers have always been regarded
as the mainstay of every nation. Hor-
ace, in reviewing the glorious history
Of the Roman commonwealth, says
that made the nation great were not
from the cities, but were from the
farms of the country, where they had
been taught morality The business
of farming has undergone great
changes in the last so years. Taken
as a whole the business of farming
was far harder so years ago than it
is to-day. Many a farmer will remem-
Der that in the old days, when the
crops were large and all work had to
be done by hand, it was exceedingly
difficult to get enough men to save the
crops. 1t was therefore necessary
that men begin work early and con
tinue to labor till late 1t was not un-
common, during haying time and the
time of harvesting the wheat crop, for
the laborers to be in the field by five
o'clock in the morning and work till
the stars were shining at night. If
| foul weather threatened, they worked
4 even under moon and stars. That was
| not considered unreasonable labor, for
the gathering of the crops was looked
upon as emergency work Now the
horses and machines do in few hours
more than the men by the old process.
es could do in the longest day A ten
year-old boy, with the proper ma
chimes and horses, will do more work
now in an eight hour day than several
men would then do in a 16 hour day
At that time the farmer was looked
upon as the hardest working man il
the country, little time being left hin
for mental improvement. 1t is no sur
prise then, says the Farmers Re
view, to know that at that tim'
wheat brought a much higher prize
than in this day 1t cost more il
labor The business of farmin;
has taken great strides forwar'
and is no longer looked upon a
the business requiring the creates
amount of drudgery and giving tn
least amount of comfort The farme
of to-day is not the kind of man tn
comic papers picture. The progress
i've farmer of to-day is a gentlemal
and is doing business in a bushes
way. The business of farming is a
much a commercial enterprise as
any business that is carried on in tn
city.

A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained rs Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi.

the decline that leads to death If means

KILLING DOCK"
How to Deal With a Troublesome
Weed on the Farm.

This is known by several common
names, one of which is dock. The
name usually given in botanies is
curled dock. This is evidently de-
rived from the crisped or curled mar.
gins of the leaves. 1t is also called
yellow dock, name which has refer
ence to the color Of the root. The
plant has been introduced from Eu-
rope, and is large, coarse, unattrac-
tive perennial and sometimes trouble
some weed. The young leaves are
sometimes used as a pot-herb, and the
root has some repute as an article of
medicine.
The best method of DISCRIMINATING 1t

of destroying them than to dig OF cut

Every child must go to school be
