Weeds are expensive, because they
not only rob the growing crops of plant
food, but also deprive them of mois-
ture. The rapid-grOwing weeds crowd
the other PLANTS and deprive them of
warmth, light and all other essentials
to growth. One advantage in the
usurpation of the land by weeds is that
they provide excellent green manurial
crops, but the farmer can better afford
to grow something else as green mate
rial than TO permit single weed TO
go to seed. The vast amount of labor
bestowed upon weeds every year may
be valued at many millions of dollars,

Too many farmers treat their boys
like their steers-give them plenty to
eat and let them go at that
But the boy does not get as good
treatment all around as the steer. be-
cause when the steer is fed all OF his

is not the only part of him. although
it may often appear to be the largest
part.
The average boy has Il wide imagina-
ton. He gets an occasional glimpse of
outside life when he goes to town, or
through the newspaper, il luckily his
father tales one, and his dreams be-
gin to come.
He wants to know what lies beyond
his narrow life. The scraps of informa-

pofufo Scab.

Bulletin No. 141 of the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, now be-
ing sent out discusses potato scab, a
subject of extreme Importance to potato
growers.
The real cause of scab Is a minute
vegetable parasite which is introduced
into the soil largely by means of scabby
seed tubers. Once in the soil, the scab
fungus may persist and be able to in
feet a crop even after a considerable
period. Alkaline soil conditions favor.
while acid sells are unfavorable to
scab. Stable manure, chip dirt, lime
and wood ashes may increase scab be-
cause they tend to make the soil aka
line.
Great care should he taken to avoid
injecting new land. The use of scabby
seed is folly rather than economy.
Only smooth tubers should be used for
planting, and these should be disin-
fected By fOrInalin or corrosive subli-
nate solution, if the quantity to be
treated Is small. If large amount of
seed is to be treated formaldehyde gas
generated by the use Of potassium per-
manganate is recommended The chem
icals required are not expensive and
should be obtained of any druggist.
The process is simple and inexpensive.

saving sweet Potatoes.

Observations made by the TusSegee.
Ala, station on the methods of storing
sweet potatoes indicate that potatoes
dug and banked after long dry period
generally kept well, while those dug
and banked after and during a rainy
season almost without exception kept
poorly. 1t was also observed that If
potatoes were cut or broken and the
milky juice turned to a dark greenish
color when dried in the air they kept
poorly, but If the juice dried white and
the injury showed a tendency to hea'
over kept WELL
Directions for harvesting and storing
a crop are given. To store sweet pota-
toes successfully it is recommended
that the plants be set out as early in
the spring as late frosts permit. to
house or bank the crop only when thor
oughly ripe, and to avoid all injury in
harvesting.

The bureau Of the census has issued
it's final report upon the cotton crop
Of the United States for the season Of
1906-07, and this report gives the enor-
nous total of 13,576.225 bales of 500
pounds each, which Is 100000 bales
in excess of the official estimates made
in December, 1906. Included in this
total are 321, 100 bales Of linters, 81
3j2 bales of sea-island cotton, and an
estimate OF 155, 7O4 bales remaining to
be ginned after March 10. The num-
Der of active ginneries is given at 2S,-

The average selling price for cotton
during the past season has been good,
says Harp IS Weekly, and the result
is an era of decided prosperity in the
cotton belt, as, in addition to the sum
of nearly S7OO.OOO,OOO received for the
staple, must be added approximately

BLIZZARD AND ITS CRADLE.
FSarsome Frozen Hurricane Which
Comes from Arctic Regions.


In the newspaper accounts of biz
yards you read of a man found dead
within seven feet of his home; CT men
who have TO tie ropes around their
waists to guide them to their barns
only SEQ feet away. and all this in the
daytime. Why do they lose their way
Why cannot they see such short dis
tance?
Imagine If you can frozen frog
driven with the velocity of a hurricane.
The air is so full of minute frozen par
ticles which strike your face like pin
heads fired from musket that you
cannot sec ten feet ahead and all this
in an atmosphere from 20 to 30 degrees
below zero, and then you can form as
clear an idea of blizzard as you will
ever care to get. Its binding, bewil-
dering effect is first felt The intense
cold brings at first the pain of freez-
ing, then numbness, then stupor, then
sense of blissful sleep and close upon
its heels death.
Where does the blizzard come from?
Where is il cradle. its home?
The arctic regions. The papers talk
about blizzard having started from
Manitoba; but that is not its home !;
its starting point. Manitoba is only
its halfway house.
Why do billiards. come by way Of
Manitoba and make themselves most
felt upon the west side of the Missis-
sippi river? Why do we never hear Of
billiards in Canada, New England and
the Middle States?
Because the Laurentian range of
mountains stretches westward from
Labrador along the southern line of
British America 5000 miles, skirting
the north shore of Lake Superior and
tapering cut in northeastern Minnesota,
furnishing protecting wall of solid
rock 1000 feet high against billiards
for all the region south of it.
Biologists tell us that this range is
formed of the oldest silurian or sedi-
, mentary rock to be found upon the

General Breakdown Caused by Def

of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you Will worry
along, hoping all the time TO feel better

of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. a
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than

pains would sometimes last for a month

81 was finally forced to give up a
position l had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, 1 read of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them trial. They
made me feel so much better and so
much stronger thai I started in business

DISCRIMINATING CaatIe~Fever Tick.

The author of North Carolina bull
le1in calls attention TO the progress
which has been made since 1902 in ex-
terminating cattle ticks in North Car
DINA.
During the past five years twenty
counties Of the State have been freed
from ticks, and this is held as indicat-
ing what can be accomplished in all
sections where stock laws prevail. The
price paid for cattle below the quar-
artine line is from Il to e cent per
pound less than for cattle OF the same
quality above the line. and this alone
would mean loss of $4,000 annually
in the area which has been freed from
ticks This amount is about three
times the total cost of the work of
eradicating ticks in these counties dur
ing the entire five years. For the most
part the ticks have been eradicated by
the use of the starvation method.
