HOT WEATHER GARDEN WORK
Pull1g Up Woods Whenever Found
Wilt Save Considerable Labor
Next Year-Care for Lilacs.
(By EDEN E. REXFORD.)
Weed, and weed and weed again.
In brief, pull up every weed as soon
as you see it. All the work of this
kind done this season wi~l, save a
great deal of labor next year, for
every plant allowed to go to seed
will most likely be perpetuated by a
thousand seedlings.
Make a practice of going over the
garden beds and clipping away seed
vessels. The plants will at once set
about making good their loss and as
flowers are the first step toward the
formation of seed; they will soon pro
duce a new crop of blossoms.
In this way make almost constant
bloomers of .kinds that won't bloom
but once during the season if al
lowed to follow out their own in
clinations.
Keep the ground about the lilac
bushes mowed or hoed closely. If
this is done the suckers about this
plant of which so much complaint is
made, will cause no more trouble
than ordinary weeds. It is when
they are allowed to grow for a sea
son that the trouble begins. There
fore, keep them down from the start
and you will have nothing to com
plain of. A place without the lilacs
would be one that failed to live up
to the privileges warranted. I con
sider the lilac one of our very best
shrubs.
SURE TO DESTROY WEEDS
Ingenious Implements Arranged to
Allow Injection of Liquid Around
Roots of Plants.
A most ingenious implement for
destroying weeds has been invented
by a Washington man. A rod has
a sharp metal point at one end and
Sure Weed Destroyer.
a reservoir extendling out from it
i just above this poinlt, which is hol
lowv and has ani opening at the bot
tom. The reserv'oir has a discharge
spout leading into the hollowv point
and a rubber bulb, by means of pres
sure on which the contents of the
reservoir are discharged through the
spout. This reservoir is filled with
tobacco juice or some other liquid
that wvill kill plant life. The garden
er then inserts the point at the root
of a weed and presses on the rub
ber bulb with his foot. An injection
is thus squirted on the roots of the
weed, wvhich soon kills it. Compare
this method with the laborious sys
tem of pulling weeds up, one by .one,
and tearing up the tumrf into the bar
gain-to say nothing of the wear and
.tear on the only back you'll ever
have.
STACKING HAY FROM WAGONS
Trolley May Be Arranged to Do the
Work in Fields Where There
is Muoh Hay to Be Piled.
The accompanying Illustration
shows how to make a trolley stacker
that will do service in the field wvhere
there is much hay to be stacked. In
constructing this a wire cable one
half inch thick is required, says a
writer in the Farm and Home. It
may be made any length, according
to the requirements of the farm.
Trolley Hay Stacker.
This cable is atta'hed to stakes in
the ground and is run up through a
crotch made by two long poles at
either end of the stack. On this ca
ble is run an ordinary hay fork. A,
b and c show details of attaching the
cablos to the poles5.
Corn Fodder.
The chemist teils us that 70 per

ftider is below the ear. If this be
true, how much do you lose by feed

as the ear, and the ear 'N's lost none

The simple contrivance shown in

much better than a surveyor's chain

is made of two circular pieces of
board one inch thick and six inches
in diameter belted face to face to

in the grooves previously cut. There
should be eight spaces between the
points, as there are eight spokes,
which at the end should be twenty
four and three-fourths inches apart.
The points of the spokes must not be
sharp, or they will oink into soft

color from the rest, so that it may be
easily counted every time it comes
around. Push the wheel ahead like
a wheelbarrow. Measure the fiel
lengthwise, then crosswise, multiply
length in rods by breadth and divide
the result by 160, which will give the
number of acres the field contaims.
BALE YOUR HAY THIS YEAR
Kept Compact, is Easjy to Handle
and Takes Up Comparatively
Little Room-Always Clean.
Loose hay Is so bulky that it takes
up flve or six times the barn space
of baled hay. Loose hay quickly
gathers dust-which causes cough
ing of stock and perhaps disease
The whole outside of a stack of loose
hay is practically wasted by wind,
rain, sun and the other elements,
This often amounts to 20 per cent of
the stack. Loose hay can not be
shipped far, and the local dealer
knows it. So he pays you his price.
and you sell because you know that
your loose hay must be sold near
home.
Baled hay is complact-easy to
handle-takes up comparatively lit

prices reach the top, when you can

and fresh, loses none of its nutr-itivo
qualities, and there is no waste.
Gathering Onion Bulbs.
Notice your onions, and when the
tops cease growing andl begin to de

lime over them, tie the buiblets in
bundles of one-half dozen and hang

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Affloted With Odd
Ailment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWSOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.
Many people in the United States are
afficted with a queer disease, according
to a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewome
statement:
My dquersonswho come and write to
my hadaershiat 53d and Jefferson
St., Philadelphia, Pa., think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble,
when In reality they are the victims of
an entirely different disease-that of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
internal parasites, which locate in the
upper bowel and consume a large per
centage of the nutriment in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
of forty to sixty feet. Ono may have a
tape worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her ilI health.
"Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and Irritable, and tire at the least ex
ertion. The tape worrns rob one of am
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
"The victim of this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble and doctors for years
without relief. Trhis is not the fault of
the physicians he consults, for there is
no absoluto diagnosis that will tell post
tively that one is not a victim of tape
worm.
"The most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food is loathsome.
There is a gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach, and the victim
has headnches, fits of dizziness and nau
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
"I have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of its regular action in aiding
digestion, and ridding the blood, kidneys
and liver of impurities It has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm, this treatment will. In nine cases
out of ten. stupefy and pass it away, but
If not, the treatment will rebuild the
run-down person, who is probably suffer
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvelous success here with this treat
nient. Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms, but they are naturally reti
cent about discussing them, and of course
we cannot violate their confidence by giv
ing their names to the public."
Letters addressed to Professor James
M. Munyon, 53d and Jefferson Streets,
Philadelpha, Pa., will receive as careful
attention as though the patient called In

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR
For more than a generation, Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfigured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application

HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER
Clergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.
A well-known clergyman was one
day, in a barber's shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved,
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several times-"Next gentleman! Next
gentleman!"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
"It isn't a bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront
ery to answer to that name."
Family Enough.
Horace, five year old, has a broth
er, nine, and a sister three, and with
his father and mother, he deemed this
family large enough. When, there
fore, he was told by his aunt that a
little baby was to be added to the
family, he protested
"I think papa and mamma might bet
ter spend their money for more straw
berries and powdered sugar for me,"
he observed, indignantly.
On a certain day a doctor came to
the house and Horace thought he
knew what that meant His spirit of
revolt nearly got the better of him,
however, when a second doctor came.
A few hours later, after the doctors
had departed, his Aunt Ella told him
he had a new little brother. Horace
brightened, and tiptoed to his moth
er's room. "It's all right, mamma,,"
he assured her. "There's only one."
To Be a Good Cook.
"To be a good cook means the
knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms
and spices; and of all that is healing
and sweet in fields and groves, savory
in meats; it means carefulness, in
ventiveness, watchfulness, willingness
and readiness of appliance; it means
the economy of your great-grandmoth
ers and the science of modern chem
ists; it means much testing and no
wasting; it means English thorough
ness, French art and Arabian hospi
tality; it means, in fine, that you are
to be perfectly and always ladies
(loaf-givers), and you are to see that
everybody has something nice to
eat."-luskin.
