Until I was tw~enty'-thre'e years old I drank scarcely :nything else at myx meals. "A few -years ago I began to be af fcted by a steadily increasing nervous ness. which tweituaily developed into a dstessinig heart trouble that made me2 very1 weak :md1( miserable. Then. some three yearis ago. was added a :sthnma in its worst form. Afy suffer ings from thease thinigs canlf be better imagined thar described. During all this time my husband realized more l'uiiy than I did that c"offee was injurious to me. and made etery effort to make mec stop. "Finally it was decided a few months ago to quit the use of coffee absolute ly and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help me. but con sented to try it to please my hushand. I prepared it very car'efuilly. exactly ac cording to directions, and was delight with its delic'ious flavor and refresh ig qualities. "Just so soon1 as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system ihe nutritive properties of the P'ostumn began to huild mec up. and I am now" fully recov'ered from all my nervous hess heart1 trouble -and asthma.

To prevent this. when you stick a needle into the cushion. stick it in lantwise. not straight down. for if put in pin fashion it is sure to work its way into the cush. ion and get lost. CARE OF THE BROOM. Keep a pailful of suds in the sink every sweeping day, and as often as the broom becomes dusty take it to the sink, dip it up and down in. the pail, shake well and continue sweep ing. Then. when all is swept, vash it on.e more before putting it away. Not only will the broom wear longer, the suds toughening the splinters, but the carpet will look brighter. CLEAN TIHE OVEN. Hare the inside of the oveu kept scrupulously clean. Wash the entire inside of the oven (not forgetting the roof) at least once a week. Remove the shelves and door before beginning operations, and scrape off any burnt I substance with an old knife. Let the oven he kept open till quite dry and all smell of soap has passed off. A spoke I brush kept for this purpos" is very Iuseful. THE GREASY SINK. A greasy sink is not to be tolerated, and the cleansing of it. if it be of glazed ware, may be easily accom plished with the aid of paraffin. Dip a piece of flannel in a little of the oil and then rub it over the sink. All the grease and dirt will quickly come off. and the smell of the paraffin can easily be. removed by washing with soap and hot water. This treatment will have a cleansing effect on the sink pipcs.

Place the foil upon the damaged portion of the .alass, lay a sheet of dager ove'r th~e foil and place upon it a block of wood or a piece of marble with a, perfectly flat surface: put upon itsfficient,.weight to press .down tightly: let it remain in this :positionua few hours.

SOUTHRN *E TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANT How to Destroy Wild Onlons. The! wild onion (or more properly :ariiv is now the worst weed knolwn to farmers along the Middle Atlantie Coast--froi Pnnsylvana to South arolina. It is especially bad in moiSt. hin pastunre land. Wheii this weed is eaflten by mitch cows rie milk ac ijires a most offensive odor. which or is in turn communicated to he :rosin and butter. The wed. when it "eurs in wheat tields, ruins the wheat for flour. The wild garlie is a fal and winter 'rowing plant. It usually occurs in unches or pa.tches in grass lands: but in badly cultivated lands, and in grain elds. the plants are more commonly seattered. The pait is perennial. It propagates y means of undeirground off-sets or "cloves." and also by smail bulblets borne in a bunch at top of stein. In this country the garlic does not bear rie .seeds. Tie weed is usually introduced into ew localities with wheat seed in which it is a rather common adulter nt. The underground bulbs are arlso ften dist-ributed along with straw erry and other fruit plants. The garlic is a very hardy and ag ressive weed. and can thrive upon ny soil not too dry. It, however, is ore commonly found upon thin soils which lack potash and lime. When a pasture is badly infected with garlic. it should b.e plowed up in the fall and harrowed with a spring tooth harrow to bring as many of the ots bulbs to the surface as possible. Re-harrow the land twice a month until ate spring. Then fertilize the land eavily with kainit and lime. and sow bickly with one of the trailing varie es of cowpeas. The Conch pea is est for this purpose. The "Unknown' ea is also good. InSeptember plow bnder the growth of pea ViUes and ipply 0 to 1000 pounds of fresh ateri-slalted lime. Sow the limed and in crimson clorer. using twenty ounds of cleaned seed. or forty-five iounds of seed in hull. Cut the clover or hay the following spring. as soon is the first flowers appear. Immedi tely plow the land and keep it clean )y means of the spring-tooth harrow util it is planted in some hoed crop. f which cotton is the best. Corn or Irilled sorghum may be used. Watch Iie field carefully, and if any scatter ng garlic plants come up in the rows )ull them oit by hand. If this system ;s faithfully carried out the worst in .sted fields can he cleaned of garlie in :wo years. When the weed appears in a lawn -h1i cannot be treated at above men :ioned, the best plan is to buy one or fore gallons of commercial sulphuric eid or crude carbolic acid and apply half-teaspoonful of either of these to hc roots of each garlic plant. A table ;poonful applied near the centre of a jathi or tuft will kill the whole. These hemicals are dangerous, and must not Je handled by children or irresponsible erons.-Gerald McCarthy.

Reckon Up Your Accounts. The farmer, to he successful,. must. first of all. understand that business principles have as definite a relation to financial success on the farm as in any other vocation. He should. therefore, study over his farm accounts carefully during the year and see which crops were the most profitable. It is not a very difficult matter to keep an account with each field, and it is safe to say thlat if we realized more frequently the cost of making a pound of cotton or tobacco, that different methods of culture would be pursued and an entirely different system of crop rotation and fertilization prac ticed. There 'are some crops on the farm that pay a larger profit than th ers. and the farmer must keep books .in order to eliminate those which. are unprofitable and change his practice so as to increase his profits from the desirable ones. A study of profit and loss is considered essential in every business except that of farming. The great business houses strike a trial balance every once in a while to see how they stand: yet farming is ad mitted by all to be at best a complex problem, and how can the farmer hope to succeed who keeps no record of his various transactions? The fact that he does not accounts for the large number of men. who barely make a living from the soil. In the long winter months there is ample opportunity for those who are so minded to study to finan cial problems involved in their opera tions carefully and learn wisdom from the failures and successes of the year. -Progressive Farmer. Outdoor Work For Winter. In the winter time. especially in the South. where snow rarely falls, the fences should be repaired and any nec essary ditching and draining can be done to advantage and the farm roads improved. The gullies in the old fields can be stopped up with trash and waste material gathered,from: one source or another. The woodlot should be cleafied up and fenced to exclude cattler there from so'the young trees may have a chance to grow. The woodlot is an important feature of every farm, owing to the high price of lumber, and the time is rapidly approaching when the farmer must grow enough wood, not only for home consumption, but for the repair of his fences and buildings. There are comparatively few woodlots which receive any attention on our farms at the present time, yet it sel dom happens that there is not some waste land on every homestead better adapted for the growth of trees than for any other purpose. Reserve this section. plant suitable varieties of] trees therein, give it a resonable amount of care and attention, and it will prove a profitable investment for all future time.-Progressive Farmer. Don't Forget tha Silo. The silo deserves a place on every stock farm and it should be situated. convenient to the feed mangers, as silage is heavy stuff to handle. An overhead track hung above the man gers on1 which eusilage canl he run is very convenient. anid saves much labor in handling this feed. The silage slhoeid. of c-ourse. he forked direct fromi the silO into the. ear. We want no stanchons in a stable where beef cattle are fed. Let those animals of a size run together in paiddocii5.

In the corn fields of the South I first saw used a novel "sca're crow" wvhih is even more effective for hawks than crows. It is made by setting a tall slender pole in the earth slanted at about a forty-five degree angle: a bit of stout waxed twine is fastened to the top of the pole and attached to the string .hangs a triangular or din mnond-shaped bit of bright tin. As the pole is slanted. this hit of tin hangs freely in the air andl on eveni breezeless days is constantly in motion. sending, fashes of light here and there about the field that- hawvks and crows never seem to become accustomed to.--D.
