When a person’s hair ends split, it’s
taken by the superstitious for a sign
that she is either a witch or has been
bewitched. As blond hair splits more
readily than dark hair, all witches,
spirits and sorceresses have blond or
red hair, according to popular belief.
Likewise, according to the standard of
art
On the marriage eve there is often
much good-natured rivalry between
the groom and the bride in the Slav
countries as to who shall blow out
the candle, for the person who does
will bo “first to die." It is impossible
to trace the origin of this superstition,
yet it prevails In aristocratic society
as well as In the peasant’s hut, even
as like this, that “to Insure the life
and health of the children" the wom-
an must occupy the right side of the
bed. In addition, she must not smoke
before her forty-fifth year.
There is a superstition in this coun-
try and many others against burning
a broom. The bud of birch broom Is
used In southern Germany as a pre-
ventive against erysipelas. These
buds, a piece of yellow wax and some
other articles are Inclosed in a pink
silk bag, secured with red silk and
worn on the back of the neck. The
person must change his shirt every
Friday.

Uy solved by a woman. She is Mrs.
Sarah Erickson of Falconer, N. Y.
Having kept chickens for 37 years,
she believes sha qualifies as an expert
in this line of effort.
“I have worked out the problem,"
she declares. By using marked leg-
bands, trap nests and alarm clocks at*
tached to the nests I have determined
that a hen lays an egg at tho same
hour, minute-and second that she was
• born, or, rather, hatched For In-
stance. If the hen happened to be able
to peck Its way through its shell at
7:43 a. m„ she will lay an egg at pre-
cisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this
without variation every time she Is in-
clined to lay. I have kept close, sys-
tematic watph on my hens for five
years, andyl have never known the

“My baby's face broke out In pimples,
which after bathing would weep and
form scabs until his head and face
were completely covered with a crust
and his hair all fell out. It was cross
and would not sleep. ~ Each day it
spread until his entire face and head
were covered with weeping sores. I
tried several prescriptions, but did not
find any relief. Then I decided to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
"After using them two or three
times the sores dried up and after a
half dozen applications all disfigure-
ment disappeared. In less than three
weeks the sores and scales were com-
pletely gone, and baby’s skin as
smooth and clear as when he was first

br a certain definite period In the
year or by once or twice cultivating.
After the cultivator he waits until
the leaves are several inches high be-
fore making the next effort. Such
persons will always have the com-
pany of a weed after Its first Intro-
duction Into his field or garden.
To kill countless thousands of
weeds coming from seeds, cultivate
the ground weekly during the grow-
ing season and do not permit the
weeds to go to seed, or. If this Is too
costly, let the weeds have their own
way except during the early growth
of cultivated crops. Frequent culti-
vation la necessary to a first class
yield. x
The following concerning quack
grass, contains points that will apply
to many other weeds.
I have long considered quack grass
the worst weed that vexes the tiller
of the soil. It Is because it bolds Its
own well and spreads whenever there
is’a chance, and chiefly because the
farmer does not recognlxe it until it
la scattered far and wide. It is car-
ried by the plow, harrow, and cultiva-
tor from one end of the field to the
other. To have a farm well seeded
to this grass la a calamity to be
avoided.
All that la needed to exterminate
a field of quack grass Is the right
kind of a man who will carefully ob-
serve and study the plant, fighting
with method and thoroughness.
I have killed 100 or more patches
and can speak from practical results
and success. Plants of this sort can-
not gain any If the green leaves are
not allowed to appear. The nourish-
ment stored in the white root stocks
underground will aid the plant to
send up slender leaves and If these
remain, the plants gain and recruit.

Every farmer knows how rapid Is
the -Increase of weeds ep the farm.
Aa a rule each farm Is annually get-
ting more sorts of weeds and as
each farmer la cultivating weeds,
these are becoming more freely dis-
tributed in every field and along every
roadside.
The great mass of farmers and
gardendrs think to kill a weed by
some royal easy process such as mow-
ing in a certain phase of the moon
the spring rather than in
summer or early fall.

An Improved method of gathering

Instead of the prim-
itive method so long In vogue, this
requires a more or less elaborate con-
trivance, but the advantage is that
none of the turpentine is wasted. Af-
ter the tree has been scored an up-
wardly slanting slash Is made In the
bark below and a metal spout thrust
up Into It. A trough, with a hinged
cover, fastens to this spout and as

but' if th* leaves start underground
and are cut off before coming to th*
light, these wblt* rootstocks ar*
drawn on again to furnish food to
start more leaves and thua. In time
become exhausted. If convenient,
pasture closely for * whole growing
season which prevents the production
of new thrifty rootstocks, then, If
the sod be well turned under deep,
rolled and harrowed, much of the
grass will be killed at once.
Ordinarily I plow late In the fall
or very early In spring, rain or shine,
wet or dry, or even in June, and cul-
tivate' wRh a shovel-toothed cultiva-
tor every three days till the middle of
June, ot later if starting the work la-
ter. .
The worst luck I ever had In this
work was In summer-fallowing a
piece of quack grass during a dry
year. A good deal of it remained dor-
mant and grew the following spring.
One year I tried the application of
ralt on one side of the bank of a
brook where cultivation was very In-
convenient- The strip of grass was
about four rods long and the slope
about five feet.
little at a time two barrels of salt
were freely applied for the whole grow-
ing season, and the next spring the
grass started up In several places
ready to continue the fight, which was
abandoned on that line.
Forgive years I tried (on the banks
of a brook, or where there were only
small patches) the following scheme,
with great satisfaction:
During the wet and growing part of
a summer I put on tarred building
paper, taking care to have It overlap
and completely exclude every ray of
light Six weeks to two months is
enough, possibly four to five weeks, if
the weather is hot and wet.
