(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)
Weeds, weeds everywhere; they
thrive in the cornfield, they choke
wheat in the field, they annoy the
gardener, they thrive in the meadow,
they spring up by the roadside, they
encroach on the swamp.
Emerson said of weeds that they
are plants whose virtues have not yet
been discovered" But a few benefits
may be derived from weeds.
They are of some use in the world
TO induce more frequent and more
thorough cultivation, which benefits
crops; in occupying the soil after a
crop has been removed they prevent
the loss of fertility by shading the
ground.
Weeds plowed under add some
humus and fertility to the soil, though
in very much less degree than clover
or COW peas; some weeds furnish food
for birds in winter.
In justice to the weeds their ad-
vantages have been mentioned first,
because the list of the disadvantages
Is a very long one-too long to enum.
crate. A few, however, may be given
enough to convince every one that
every effort should be made to get
rid Of them.
Farmers should carefully observe
and study the weeds and their habits
in order TO fight them to the best ad
vantage.
1. Weeds rob cultivated plants O
nutrfment.
2. They injure crops by crowdine
and shading.
3. They retard the work of har
vesting grain by increasing the draft
and by extra wear of machinery.
4. They retard the drying of grair

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and It spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. / bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. / don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. l think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes
