The Canada Thistle.

The spread of the Canada This
tie is again attracting attention,
and those having lands upon
which this pest grows would do
well, not only for the sake of the
value of their own property, but
for the good of the neis hborhood,
to stamp it out as speedily as pos
sible.
BY an act of Assembly of Penn.
sylvania of 1885, 1t is the duty of
every person, either tenant or
owner of lands, to destroy Cana
da thlstles growing upon their
land, under a penalty of fifteen
dollars, which shall be paid to
the school treasurer of the town
ship and upon neglect to destroy
the same, it shall be the duty, up
on notice, of the constable to cut
and destroy the same, for which
he is to receive fifty cents for no.
tice and SIX cents mileage, and
$3.50 per day for such service, to
be paid by the owner of the land.
The supervisors are to destroy
that growing along the road un-
der a penalty of $1,000.

Gumpiion On The Farm.

Praise your wife when she gets
you an extra good dinner, and you
will get many more of them.
Have the hay ropes, pulleys and
all such things good and solid be.
fore you begin to take off a load
Stand out of the line OF all pulIeys
when a forkful is being taken off.
Eight acres of good heavy corn
ought to fill a hundred ton siIo.
This ought to be grown and put
into the silo for q cost of not more
than $500, or So per ton for the
silage.
One of the most important de.
partmCnts of the farm Is too often
forgotten in the stress of bust.
ness, and that is the woodlot. If
you have one, see to 1T that the
young trees are protected from
the vandal axe man and the de.
predatlons of stock. A we'll con.
served woodlot grows steadily
into money while we sleep.
When you are mopplng your
face in the harvest sun, consider
the good wife in the super heated
kitchen bending over a hot stove
IN the preparation of food, and
ask yourself if you have provided
her with satisfactory help. Full
barns will bring one little salts
faction if the wife is broken down
at the emu of the harvest.
A neighbor of ours who reads
the Farm journal asks us to tell
Our Folks how he prevented his
hay moldlng In the bottom of an
eighteen foot NOW. Before plac
ing any hay IN the NOW, he took
some inch boards, six inches
wide, making boxes with three
sides. He laid these boxes In
strings across the NOW floor, up
side down, similar to an old fash.
ioned wooden drain. Then he fill
ed the NOW full of hay to the roof,
and when he removed 1t from the
nov this spriag, not a straw of
it was moldy. Other seasons he
had much hay damaged in this
NOW from lack of ventilation. He
tells me that an uncle of his also
pursued this course IN his large
barn mows, which were tightly
tioored with concrete, and was
able to use his hay out to the last
straw. Just a little ventilation
seems to go great way IN saving
hay IN large barn mows.-From
June Farm Journal.

The eclipse of the sun is caus.
Ell by the moons passing between
the earth and the sun, and thus
shutting out the light of the sun,
just the same as when a person
walks between you and lamp,
the light Is hidden from view and
you see the person. The dark

the sun last Sunday, was the real
moon many millions of miles
nearer you than the sun.

Trying TO Fleece Farmers.

There are several sharpers at
tempting TO work the farmers in
the lower end of the county.
Most of the farmers object to
giving note and having it dis
counted for cash. This was the
case the other day. The agent
said he was satisfied to hold 1T,
and to prove his assertion wrote
mot transferable" upon the
face. A few days later the farm
er found the note had been dis
counted at the bank he dealt with
and instead of the words mot
transferable" an sc" had been
added to the word not, making 1t
read mote transferable. Hanover

In vain will the readers of this
dale Of romantic love and bril-
liant daring search the maps of
1.-The world for the picturesque
land IF Kvdvonia, wherein lovely,
fascinating Sophy and her n,ys-
FERROUS Red Star played their
parts. This much we may tell
hin, before he embarks on his
voyage to Kravonia. But we may
assure hin, that when he reluc-
family parts with Sophy some
fine sculery maid of Morping-
ham, Essex, England, later spirit
ualisfic medium of Paris, France,
and still later of high rank in
Slapna and Voiseni, in Kravonia,
the country of her adoption will
be to him, like Zenda and Graus-
tark, more real than are many of
the smaller, actual Kingdoms of
the earth. Sad and tragic in some
of its aspects is the love storyof
Sophy of Kraponia, buf its pa
fhos is so lightened by devoted
loyalty, hardy bravery and ten
der, self sacrificing affection
that at the end the reader will
surely feel its telling has not
been unworthy of the master
hand Of its famous chronicler.
