During the growing . season,• oats and clover get.• ahead of the• weeds and smother• therh out. The crop is cut be- fore .those weeds which do develop ma- ture seed. If the ants are removed at once and the land< pastured, there is not much danger of weeds developing freely. If, ho ,vever, the weeds do get a start, the field can be mowed before the seed matures and the clover allowed ' to _produce a crop •the next year. - In. many cases it may be desirable to _ n;ow the land as soon as the oafs fire - harvested, turning under the weeds. When.- they start- again, a few weeks later, the. wound pray be disked "and any development prevented. This can Ise repeated as often as necessary until cold weather. arrives. .The following year the field can be planted to corn and thoroughly cultivated;- or, If in a' ' a winter' wheat region, can be seeded to that grain the same autumn. By the end .of the second year,. a field treated • in this way. no matter' how foul, will be 'practically free from all annuals. Another Important item Is. the effect _ of the oats crop on the -mechanical con, (Litkin of the soil.

They fared sumptu- •• ously, liqueurs being one of their lux- • Pries, and the accommodating warders allowed them to visit the cafes and places of amusement in the town. •• Grunder and Gerber were the "favor- • ties" at the prison because they had ...inioney, which they spent freely on . . - ,s wines and tobacco, sharing them with the other prisoners and the wardens.

They "worked" the entire Emmenthal Valley, and were returning to Thorberg • . :with their booty when arrested. Both • .

Physician is Anxious to Cure and Uses the Best Avail- able Remedies. . . , The clisoueidon of the bill now before the Dominion Parliamentfor the re-- guleeion of the manufacture and gale 'of patent or proprietary medicines is one of the utmost Importance,' and is receiving a great deal of attention, not only by the proprietary medicine manu- facturers, but also by the retail and wholesale druggists. Every manireztc! turer- of reliable and. high .class mediae welcomes the bill as a step In the right direction. The discussion has brought out the Tact that the best physicians in Canada and on the con- tinent approve of and prescribe Pse - chine in cases of the most difficult - character. In a recent instance of very serious threat and lung trouble the patient had been using lesychine. Two leading United States speokeists were consulted, in addition 'to two eminent Canadian physicians. UPON, learning what the patient was using, a temple of Psychine_ was taken and analyzed, with the result that the phyeiciame advised its continuance. They preecribed no other medicine but Thsychine, with the result that the .pa- tient has fully' recovered and is a. splendid walking and talking adver- tinement for the wonderful curative power . of a remedy that will 'stand up" before the keenest professional - criticism and analysis. As a. builder up of the system and restoring all vested condetiona Psychine has no equal. and the best and most earnest Dhensicians recognize this fact "At the age of 26 -my lunge - were in a terrible eats. I had la grippe the year before: it settled on my lungs -and I kept steadily - growing worse till I got dawn so low I was in bed for six weeks.
