SOMETHING EACH DAY.
Something each day-a smile,
It's not much to give;
And the little gifts of life
Make sweet the days we live.
The world has weary hearts
That we can bless and cheer,
And the smile for every day
Makes sunshine all the year.
Something each day-a word,
We know not its power;
1t grows in fruitfuluess
As grows the gentle flower,
What comfort it may bring
When all is dark and drear!
For kind word every day
Makes pleasant all the year.
Something each day-a thought,
Unselfish. good and true,
That aids another's need
While we our way pursue:
That seeks to tighten hearts,
That leads to pathways clear,
For helpful thought each day
Makes pleasant all the year.
Something each day-a deed
of kindness and of good,
To link in closer bonds
All human brotherhood.
Oh, thus the heavenly will
We all may do while here;
For a good deed every day
Makes pleasant all the year.

Both these weeds are ANIMALS; that
is, they grow from seeds each year or
season and the plants die after ripen-
ing seeds. The way to keep them down
Is to prevent the plants from ripening
seed and making sure that are no seeds
in the grain soWn upon the farm. Fox
tall Is troublesome, because 1t springs
up in cultivated. fields after the crops
are laid by, and then it comes up in
stubble and In meadows and pastures.
Late cultivation Of corn fields, and
moving the stubble, meadows and pas
lures to keep seeds from forming, Is
the way to attack this weed. Judging
from the way these weeds spring up,
whenever conditions are favorable,
there must be great stores Of them in
cultivated felds-showing the seeds are
long-lived. Pigweed quickly springs up
In corn or potato fields, after cult

from August Is to November 1, SO 1t
will take vigorous measures to get rid
Of them. In fact, the only way to get
rid of these weeds is to cut them down
before seeds mature. If crop Of
them Is left to mature IN corn fields,
and then the seeds plowed under the
coming season, you have stored away
enough seeds to bother you for the

way to apply the remedy In the larger
animals Is with q spray pump, and in
sheep or hogs by dipping Whatever
method is used, the coat and skin must
be thoroughly wet with the solution.

It is advisable to move the herd to

the eggs or nits. hence 1t Is necessary
to treat the animal again In ten days
or two weeks. Stockmen sometimes
ask If the feeding OF sulphur to lousy
animals will not drive away or de
stroy the lice. The feeding Of small
doses OF sulphur will do no harm, nor
will 1t help In getting rid Of the lice,
and 1t cannot be considered remedy

excellent. Where It is desirable to

Sawduxt and Soil.

Prof. W. S. Massey says sawdust from

and will sour the land when decayed.
Even when used for bedding In stables
the manure is not worth half as much
as that with ordinary bedding. Look
about the remains of sawdust accumu-

are common In the piney woods, and
