Julia A. Story, McHenry; G, W. Besley, West McHen ry. V. S. Department of Agriculture Report For'Week Ending September 1, 1902. The early part of the past week was cool, but the latter part was moderately warm. Generally fmr weather pre­ vailed during the week. There were, however, light showers in the northern part of the state and moderate to heavy rains over the southern part. The rains in the northern part of the state were insufficient to interfere with farm work, while in the southern pert, though the work was interrupted to some extent, the showers were beneficial to growing crops and have put the ground in good condition for plowing. Considerable plowing and preparing of ground for seeding has been done and in a few localities some rye has been seeded. Threshing has progressed rapidly under the favorable ^conditions of the past week. There has been con­ siderable damage to oats in shock by the previous wet weather, but in many localities this damage was less than had been feared would result. The weather of the past week has been very favor­ able for corn and it has generally ad­ vanced rapidly towara maturity. The yield promises to be heavy. Reports as to the time when the crop will be safe from injury by frost vary considerably. In a few localities, especially in the southern part of the state, early corn is now reported to be safe, while in others it is believed that the crop will not be safe until after October 1st. With favorable conditions, however, the bulk of the crop promises to be safe by Sept. 15 to 20. Lingering Summer Colds.

Story, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. Leave orders for ice cream at Petesch's. Some person who has tried it, says that an exce'lent way to get rid of stumps is to bore an auger hole in them with a one or two inch auger from ten to twelve inches deep and fill the hole with coal oil and let it stand for a month or so, securely plugged while the oil penetrates the wood, after which set fire to the stump and it will bur out roots and all. At any rate the ex periment is worth trying. MM IflEDFORD's* BLACK-DRAUGHT; THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE & 1 yi? / f - Jjn"' a 1, V.'; Children Like the M • c * y,-» ' •' V' . ' • £,vv.- .

Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Thedford's B fi Black-Draught never fails to bene-igr fit diseased liver and weakened kid­ neys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneys. With kidneys re­ inforced by Thedford's Black- Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel­ low fever. Many families live in Serfect health and have no other octor than Thedford's Black- Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullins, S.
