The time is rapidly approaching when it
will rain, and the ground will be well
moistened, and roots therein will revive
and prepare to send forth new growths,
and none of these more cheerfully or suc
cessfully than those of the burdocks and
thistles and other weeds, the tops of
which, we regret to say, are for the most
part uncut in time to prevent the seed
from maturing and falling. Yet a good
deal could be done- in the few days
remaining before the fall rains set in to
clear lots of these disagreeable and in
jurious weeds and to prevent their seed
from becoming distributed, rooted, and
bearing other like crops.
The subject is tiresome, we suspect, but
we cannot forbear making this, final ap
peal to owners of vacant grounds to clean
them of weeds, and to the city officials
to enforce the law to a far greater extent
than has been done. Oregon Journal.
If property owners will do a little figur
ing they will find that cement walks are
cheaper in the long run. The board walks
have to be renewed often, while cement
pioperly laid will last a life time with a
little patching. In the most progressive
cities cement walk is laid almost exclus
ively of late years, and in addition to dur
ability they are neater in appearance and
very much cleaner.

So say the good housewives who

they forget that there are thousands of
their sisters who never used any other

always have success with cane sugar?
