Hawkweeds.

AT recent meeting of Anson
grange the subject of "weeds" was
under discussion. Among the list
mentioned was the one known as
hawkweed, acknowledged to be one
of the worst, if not the worst weed,
that has ever infested the fields of
Maine or any other state, as it not
only propagates by runners from its
roots but by seeds from its blossoms
like the thistle, each blossom con-
tanning a large number of seeds which
are distributed by the wind long dis
tances all over the farm and adjoin-
ing fields. The progressive, up-to-
date farmer who takes pride in hav-
ing his fields clean is to large ex-
sent at the mercy OF his neighbors in
the matter of distributing weeds.
This weed no animal will eat and no
grass will grow to any extent where
it exists. 1t does not have one single
redeeming quality While there is a
law relating to the control of seeds
offered for sale, there has been no
effective Legislative measures adopt
ed to check hawkweed in this state,
although some states have passed
laws relative to the destruction of
noxious weeds. The subject is of
such Importance that it demands i'm
mediate attention and the next legis-
lature of Maine will be called upon to
take some action in the matter, and
require those who have this weed on
their farms to cut it early enough to
prevent its seeding, if nothing more.
The farmers of this section are mani
testing a greater desire than ever be-
fore that some legislative action be
taken towards the destruction of this
weed.

chickens of Horace Brawn, we have
this, from his brother Edwin, who
finds nine chickens in his hen house
killed in the same manner that his

in their house, and all bitten through
the head. Mr.. Allen tries his hand
at trapping and the next morning
finds he has caught large coon, who
shortly after, loses all interest In
Plymouth Rock chickens. While

chickens, it is unusual for coons to do
so unless it might be in the southland.

News comes from Indiana that the
farmers in Elkhart county are elated
over the discovery of what they be-
lieve to be the certain destroyer of
the potato bug. A bug with varie-
gated rings in size slightly smaller
than the potato bug has made it's ap-
pearance in the potato patches west
of Goshen, and the new arrivals are
waging deadly war on the potato
bug. Moving from one plant to an
other the new arrivals make short
work of the potato bug, eating them
quickly and not leaving single one
on the plant. If the new variety OF
bug continues to increase, there will
soon not be potato bug in Elkhart
county, and the potato bug nuisance
will soon be ended. A number of
farmers are already experimenting
and specimens of the bug will be sent
to Purdue university.

Deafness Cannot be Gu ed

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the .ear There IS
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inhamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the IN
fiammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition Of the mucous surfaces
