It grows vigorously in all kinds of grain

iViltl nntst'ird is propagetosl by means
of carious agencies, Some of the seeds are
carried by birds, but usually they find
their way to new centres in seed grebe
The threshing machine carries them from
farm to farm. They aro also carried in the
droppings of cattle and in the manure.
The following are among the more ef-
fective modes of fighting this weed :
). Drop out of the rotation, as far as
possible, the spring crops amid which the
mustard growo, until the infested fields have
been subjected to a cleaning process. Grow
hoed crops at the sane time to the greatest
extent possible.
2. Grow rye followed by rope. Follow
the rape with barley or spring wheat sown
with grass seeds. If the mustard plants are
not too numerous, remove them by hand,
otherwise cut the crop for fodder before the
mustard is ripe. Where necessary, follow
the meadow or pasture an the ease Iney bo,
with a crop of corn, managed as desoribed
in section 3, given below. Spring grains
sown with grasses should follow the
corn.
3. Give etreful attention to autumn culti-
vation. This reduces the number of the
seeds in the upper layer of the soil. Plow
deeply before winter for the sake of the
crop that comes after, and to expose un -
other section of the soil. Cultivate caro•
fully in the spring until time to plant corn
or to sow rape, Follow the hoed crop with
spring grain sown with grasses, If thought
necessary, a second hoed crop may follow
the first before sowing with grass seeds.
4, Sow with rye in auOumn, Cut the rye
for hay or ensilage, or photo it under for to
green manure. Then cultivate occasionally
after the ground has been plowed until the
time for sowing hinter wheat or rye. The
wheat or rye, as the ease may be, should be
sown with grass seeds. The implants
which may grow in the wheat or rye, may
be removed by hand. Whatever method
may be adopted at first, hand pulling must
be resorted to before the work can be come.

Every day the gapers contain accounts of
some swindling scheme praetioed upon the
farmers by smooth fellows with plausible
stories- A farmer loses the earnings of a
lifetime within a few hours, or a few hun-
dred farmers contribute a fortune to a
stranger whose oily tongue is his chief
capital. Nearly all farm papers Hake a point
of exposing new schemes as they arise, and
this does some good ; but if ever a stop is
put to the movement of money from pockets
of rural folk into those of schemers, it will
come from a recognition of a principle that
seems to escape the comprehension of very
many who are credited with good hard sense
a the management of every -day affairs.
The principle simply stated is this :
Something Dan not be gotten for nothing.
Easy ways for making money are not being
given away to any ono. There are no " sof
snaps" hunting takers in this oouotry. Any
good scheme can command millions of money
for its promotion without going outside of
such centers of wealth as our big cities.
Business men are ready to advance big sums
of money to back any legitimate invention
or ditoovetythat is worthy. When investors
are willing to put millions of dollars into
any safe concern that will pay five per cent.
interest annually, only schemers have to
travel over country roads to find capital.
Another point : Country people, no
matter how shrewd, can not beat a man at
his own game. What folly • is such a
thought, and yettlwhat community can not
point to from one to ton pretOy.bard-headed
farmers, es judged in common busfnees
transactions, who at some time in their
lives have not imagined that they wore
outwitting the stranger who lett the city
with a gatne to harvest their dollars. Or,
it may be, they only accept the idea that
the stranger is too green, or too buoy, or
too generous to take all the profits, and
have picked upon them to shore in them.
The tnan who Inas a good thing is not roc-
, ing over the country seeking partners, and
the sleek gentleman with a game under-
stands himself:perfectly. The farmer has
the right to thunk he has the ability to be
president of his country, brio his conceit is
astounding when he imagines that he can
come out ahead when fooling with a
stranger's little arrangement to transfer
dollars from farmers pockets into his
own,
It is very human to watt eomeehing
without earning it, This desire is back of
all attempts of farmers to avail themselves
of the supposed opportunities offered by
swindlers. 1e is nearly akin to dishonesty,

The Jersey as a Family Cow.
Every year the demand for good family
cows is increasing, Never before were so
many city people getting homes in the
country, some of then for Oho summer anal
some for the shote year, Most of these
people watt a now, they want a good Dow,
Otte that gives fish milk, fur almost the
first luxury that city people call for when
they go into the country, is plenty of Holt
milk. As a family cow tho Jersey &tends
pre-eminent ; she gives rich milk and is a
persistent milker, with proper caro never
going dry, but milking from calf to calf, so
that those who keep only one cow have milk
all the year, except for two or three weeks.
The family cow should be, and usually is,
the family pet ; the Jersey cow has the
gentlest disposition, is easily managed, will
allow children to handle her, to easy to
milk, and, while she does not at any time
yield an extraordinary quantity of milk,
she will keep up her yield remarkably well,
and, taking the year through, give a sup-
ply suflicient for family use. The family
cow must not only supply the family with
milk, but with butter also, and this the
Jersey will do. And, Jersey cream being
easily churned, it is an easy matter for
those comparatively ignorant of butter -
making to manage it in a satisfactory way.
This point is too often overlooked, but it ns
a very important one and should be better
known, as also should the fact that Jersey
milk is easy to cream, the dream rising
under very adverse eonditioos. The Jersey
is a hearty feeder, and, as a family cow, will
learn to eat up much of the kitchen waste,
such as .corn -husks, melon -rinds, potato.
parings, etc, Mealy object to Otto keeping
of pigs, and with good reason, so this kitoh-
en waste is thrown away ; the Jersey will
use this refuse, Loud on small country places
it counts top in making the feed bill lighter,
and ooneequently reducing the cost of the
milk and butter.
Who Ned Family Cows?
Every family in moderato circumstances
living fn the country needs a good family
cow; and if tho family includes children,
the need becomes almost a necessity. The
great objection urged against keeping a
family oow is the expense, which is sup.
posed by many who are unacquainted with
the facts to heavily overbalance the income.
but the reverse can easily be shown to be
the truth, taking into oonsideration the
difficulty of buying good milk even hi the
country, the cost of the same, and often
the disappointment in not being able to
get it when most needed (all mothers will
appreciate this.) 'I think when the account
is footed up it will be found that the family
cow will prove herself to be a moneymakom.
But right here comes in the point which
decides the question of profit or loss in
peeping a family cow, and that is, the kind
of cow kept. There Dan be no question as
to whether or not it will pay to keep a poor
cow, for 10 will not; but as to keeping a
good oow, there is no doubt as to its being
aprofitable business from a dollar point of
view, and tits Jersey cow answers this pure
pose admirably. I speak both from obser.
vation and experience ; I have been breed.

that much of the recently imported gold

the needs which the New York banks have

may find solution: "Tho imported gold!"

'NERVOUS "DISEASE'S,.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human.
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tics. When there is au insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, -a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. A8 the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body aro carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not cone
fain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied,
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.
