The leaves are fiat, blunt, slightly above one-half an inch long, dark green above and pale beneath, being; so arranged, by the twisting of their" Vftort petioles, as to appear two linked, thus giving a flat appearance to the twig. The cones are as long or slightly longer than the leaves, while ttfl scales are broad and obtuse. They Itang from the tips of the branches and often persist for months after the seeds have fallen. The wood is light brown, brittle and coarse grained, -weighing 26 pound 8 to the cubic foot tt is employed in the building of barns and other rough buildings. The range of the hemlock Is from Nova Scotia to Klnnesota and south to Alabama. The hemlock is not recognized by tbe ...-Baited States Pharmacopoeia as bavretg any medicinal properties, nor does the oil of hemlock appear on its list of organic drugs, but the bark of the tree is used for .tanning on account of the large tfer cent, of tannin con- talned therein. O USELESS SO|te Land Will Pay Reclaiming Thought. It l» : Gullies on hilly, rolling land can be •topped and the land reclaimed by putting a light coat of timothy hay in the bottom of the ditch after the rainy reason is passed. In the win­ ter, feed cattle on the land by put­ ting the hay in the ditches. I have bad ditches on my farm that were once usless but have been reclaimed mad now produce one aud one-half tons of hay to the acre. Never plow in the gullies, but plow up and down the hill beside them. Never plow elqser than two feet to the edge of the ditches. Each year let the grass strip get a little wider. Thus your high land will gradually level up. I have •ome land that had been gullied but has now been producing grass for the past 20 years. Once a set of grass has been obtained in the gullies, never plow it up. The hay will always be Setting better in the main leads, and the smaller ones will be improving through the process of feeding hay to the cattle. All land will pay reclaim­ ing. declares the Farmers' Review. Very poor land gullies worst. Manure from stables where the milch cows are fed hay is the very best manure tar reclaiming such land. ft a Mistake to Put Cattle on as Soon u the Hay is Cut Off. A common practice among farmers of the present day, and more so the eastern farmer, is to pasture ihe meadows as soon as the hay crop is cul off. It is am old practice and a badxope, says Peterkin Wiley, Jr., In American Agriculturist It has been practiced for geenrations, but not to such an extent as at present. To turn stock immediately upon the meadow is a sure ruination of next year's crop of hay and relieves the farmer but little in the long run. In July and August pasture gets short, especially in a dry year and to see the green grass growing is indeed a great temp­ tation. On very rich soil I do not say that it is not proper to pasture, pro­ viding that the young shoots are given a chance first to gain size and tuiurla- ant growth. Every farmer should sow plenty of fodder corn in early spring and sum* mer so it can be fed during the short­ age of pasture. In a great many sec­ tions, no doubt, farmers have learned from experience the folly of early pas­ turing of meadows. I believe it per­ fectly right to aildw stock to graze' on mowed meadows not earlier than Sep­ tember 1, providing It is not carried to extremes. I* have observed in a great many Instances when winter set in that the ground would be gnawed as smooth as a house floor. This leaves the young plant roots unprotected and the damage done is extensive. I have a number of neighbors, suc­ cessful in a way, and readers of American Agriculturist, whose first act after removing the hay is to turn In every head of livestock- they have. Experience has shown this is very un­ profitable. My method Is to allow short intervals at a time. In this way there is sufficient top left to insure winter protection to the roots, some-soil re­ building and a big hay crop the sue- cee<ttfrg#ear. . • GALINBOGA. \ ^ The plant shown herewith was found greying In cultivated lands, a few specimens In one place, and is known as Galinsoga parviflora Cao., commonly known as Galinsof^^pd Ja# *$5 FARM NOTES.

A few years ago there was started in Chelsea, Mass., a semi-secret po­ litical organization, and after a few ? meetings it was decided that a. ballot box and ballots were needed. A brother made a motion that a commit­ tee be appointed by the chair to pro­ cure the same. A brother who was always suggesting amendments moved an amendment that the committee be instructed to procure round white balls and square black balls. Another brother asked him to describe a square ball, which brought the house down and caused the mover of the amendment to ejaculate: "You think you are d--d smart, don't, you?" BOARD 8HIELD FOR POST BA8E. How One Farmer Provided Ingenious Protection From Jack F^gpt. We give herewith a sketch of a cement base for posts as used in a barn of a farmer who considers the plan very satis- factory. The post stands directly upon the cement, but sur­ rounding the ce­ ment portion of the baso is a cov­ ering of boards. Originally jtheje hoards were put on to give shapo to ̂ the concrete. After the ce­ ment had hard­ ened the covering was left as the own­ er felt that it would serve as a protec­ tion to the cement when a wagon was used in the stable. He reports that he has found this to be true. A hole is dug about a foot <Jeep and the cement foundation built up from this point, explains Prairie Farmer.

XAt a recent lnque8t In a Pennsyl­ vania town, one of the jurors, after the usual swearing in, arose and with much dignity protested against serv­ ice, alleging that he was the general manager of an important concern and was wasting valuable time by aitting as a juror at an inquest. The coroner, turning t6 his clerk, said: "Mr. Morgan, kindly hand me 'Jervis' (the authority on juries)." Then, after consulting the book, the coroner observed to the unwilling juror: "Upon reference to 'Jervis,' I find, sir, that no persons are exempt from service as jurors except Idiots, imbe­ ciles and lunatics. Now, under which heading do you claim exemption ?"-- Success Magazine. The Court Took Judicial Notice. A New Jersey correspondent con­ tributes the following in regard to a recent happening in the court of a lo­ cal magistrate: A justice in this city, upon com­ plaint, issued his warrant for an al­ leged violation of an ordinance of the city relative to the registering of dogs. The complaint and warrant were both bad." Upon the defendant being brought before him, the justice said: "How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?" to which the defendant, who was allowed no time to obtain coun­ sel, replied: "Not guilty." The jus­ tice then said: "I know a G-- d-- sight better. I line you five dollars and $2.80 costs." These words con­ stituted the entire hearing, and, need­ less to state, certiorari pfOCfletitftga are now pending. A FOOD CONVERT.

With clean roadsides it is easier to solve the weed problem. About Harness. In selecting a harness, a plainly fin­ ished set, where every strap is cut from 'back stock, is worth more money than a highly decorated set of all grades of leather. Above all things keep a harness in repair and allow no weak places. The strength of a har­ ness is the strength of its weakest place. One weak place, says Farm Journal, may cause a serious accident and even the loss of Uifr Good Food the True Road to Health. The pernicious habit' some persons still have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve dyspepsia, keeps ^p the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion -- dyspepsia -- is caused by what is put into the stomach in the way of improper food, the kind that so taxes the strength of the di­ gestive organs they are actually crip­ pled. When this state la reached, to resort to stimulants is like whipping a tired horse with a big load. Every addi­ tional effort he makes under the lash Increases his loss of power to move the load. Try helping the stomach by leaving off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and take on Grape-Nuts--light, easily di­ gested, full of strength for nerves and brain, in every grain of it. There's no •waste of time nor energy when Grape- Nuts is the food. "I am an enthusiastic user of Grape- Nuts and consider it an ideal food," writes a Maine man: ^ "I had nervous dyspepsia and was all run down and my food seemed to do me but little good. From reading an adv. I tried Grape-Nuts food, and after a few weeks' steady use of it, felt greatly improved. "Am much stronger, not nervous now, and can do more work without feeling so tired, and am better every way. "I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream and use four heaping teaspoonfuls at a meal. I am sure there are thou­ sands of persons with stomach trou­ ble who would be benefited by using Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

He attend­ ed services iii an old wooden church, and while there a rainstorm came up. The roof leaked, and some water fell on Finlen* s neck. After the services had ended he asked one of the church officials: "Why in blazes don't you give people a decent place to worship In?" "I suspect it's because we haven't the money," was the suggestive reply. Next afternoon material for a new roof began to arrive in front of the church and Finlen walked into the pas­ tor's study with a check for $750.
