Frequent and Hhallow cultivation
Hhould ho tho rule In tho new straw-1,
berry bed; and also In tho raHpherry,
blackberry, currant and gooseberry
patches, If tho last four are not mulch
ed. No grain or :;rah crops In the

boat. Htlr the soil every two week
until AiiKUHt. TIs a good plan to
throw iwo or throe forkfuls of manure
around each tree after a rain.
To prevent a acabby crop of pota
to", soak tho need for two hours In a
solution of one-half pint of formalin
(formaldehyde) In fifteen gallons of
water. Then plant tho need In hoII
which Iioh not recently grown a crop
of Hciibby Inborn.
Watch for tho little slugs darkish,
Hllmy fellowH that aro likely to bo
on poar or cherry leaven now. Fine,
dry dust, If thrown In tho trees, will
kill every slug It coverH. Or almoHt
any of the reflation orchard sprays
will enlernilnato this pent.
l'uinpklriH planted among corn hills
are no special hindrance to tho crop
ir tho ground Ih rich. They are some
times a great benefit In a dry season;
the leaven and vines cover the ground
and keep It from drying up after cul
tivation Ceases.
Cabbage and tomato plants can be
safeguarded against cutworms, by In
serting a circular paper fence In the
hoII around eacn siem. Any buu. v"
ncr will do. Have each fence about
ono and one-half Inches above ground,
and tho same distance away from the
plant.
A gentleman who made the experi
ment the paht season, recommends
moth balla as an effective means of
keening tho striped bettlo off the cu
cumber, melon and squash vines. Tho
remedy Ih not only Inexpensive but
eanlly applied, only one ball being
required for each hill.
The ljordcaux mixture Is the proper
remedy to uso for all fungus troubles;
viz., mildew and rust of beanB; pota
to and tomato rot and leaf blight;
melon and cucumber diseases; aspara-
gtiH runt; celery leaf blight and rust,
etc. The balf-strength mixture (two
pounds cooper sulphate, two pounds
quicklime, fifty gallons water) Is
strong enough to use In the vegetable
garden, except for potatoes.
Kodol Ih the best known preparation
that Is ofTcred to tho people today for
dyspepsia or Indigestion or any stom
ach trouble. Kodol digests all foods.
It Is pleasant to take. It is sold here
by Howell & Jones.

A dead weed never goes to seed.

Tho best time to cut sweet clover
Is when It Ih in blossom. It Is hard
upon you tools, but harder upon the
clover,
Iletter hoo a corn field four times
when Iho weeds aro small than once
when they aro big. It's cheaper.
It don't pay to cut burdocks with a
hoe. Uho a spado and cut deep.
Dragging corn either when It Just
comes up or at three or four Inches
will save lots of trouble Inter. Use a
