Investigations made in the Zoolog

correspondent of the New York T

of his statement unseasonable weati

the bottom falling out of the stock
market , the Servian assassinations , the
death of the Pope , and "the glooinj
record of crimes of violence , lynchings
murders , suicides , to say nothing of
the 'fight to a finish' in which labor
and capital are now engaged. " In
conclusion , the correspondent wonders
whether the events of the "wonderful
year" could have occurred in any year
the digits composing which did not
form the fateful number , 'thirteen. ' '
If the matter depended upon "the fate
ful number thirteen" this correspond
ent might well set his mind at rest.
The last year whose digits compose
thirteen was 1840 and it was about
the dullest , most uneventful year oi
the century. There was nothing
"wonderful" about it Queen Victoria
got married , penny postage was Introduced -
duced in England , President Harrison
was elected , the Mormons founded
Nauvoo , the opium war with China
was brought to an end , and William I
of Holland abdicated. Nearly every
other year in the nineteenth century
was more an "annus mirabilis" than
3840. And 1804 , the preceding "thir
teen" year in the list , was not as Avon
derful as 1S40. But what is there spe
cially "wonderful" about 1903 thai
should make this correspondent so
pessimistic ? Do we not have unsea
sonable weather every year ? Suppos
ing the bottom of the stock market has
fallen out. Has there not been mark
ed activity in all lines of legitimate
business ? Have the mishaps of specu
lation been reflected in trade and in
dustry ? lias the assassination in Ser-
via created a ripple in the political or
diplomatic world of Europe ? The Ro
man Pontiff is dead. He was old and
he was mortal. Was not his death sig
nificant , however , in its revelation of
the unity of Christian sentiment and
sympathy ? As to crime , it is no more
rampant this year than it was last
year , only certain unusual circum
stances in certain unusjual places have
called special attention to it. In the
long flight of time one year averages
up very like another year. The "won
derful years" are extrem'ely rare.
WEED REMEDIES.
Effective Cures Are Accompl'slictl by
Common Wayside Growths.
Many of the plants that are popular
ly known to-day as "just common
weeds" were treasured by the ancients ,
and even o recently as "grandmother's
day , " for their medicinal properties. In
fact , our grandparents believed implicc
itly that in every locality might be
found the plants that would prove ef
fective for the diseases of that country.
The people of to-day are slowly awak
ening to a realization- the value of
these inexpensive home remedies ,
many of which are sold by druggists
under a different name.
There is a frequent demand for a
remedy for catarrh in the head. Much
relief may be obtained by using a nasal
douche , twice a day , of warm water
with a little salt and sweet milk added.
Afterward snuff pure olive oil into the
nostrils. The douche cleanses and ( he
oil heals , which may prove effective in
some cases , but a "weed remedy" has
proved more effective. A bad case of
catarrh has been cured by smoking
mullein leaves. The smoke must be -
forced through the nostrils , and has a
tendency to heal and dry those pass
ages leading to the lungs. Mullein is
plant that grows wild In many-
States , and resembles the tobacco leaf
In color , shape and growth.
The best of salve can be made from
the mullein blossoms. If the blossoms T
are gathered and put into a bottle
and hung in the sun they will in time
become oil. which is very healing.
They may be fried in fresh butter and
the liquid strained into boxes ready for
use when cold.
"May butter is best to use for
salves , " said an elderly lady. No doubt
some of the readers may think , as I
thought at first , that this is supersti- J"
tious , but after much thought will j4 ?
agree with her. In May pastures are
generally of clover , dandelions , etc. ,
and these are said to contain excellent
medical properties. Clover tea and a
salve made from the clover blossoms Is
said to be an effective cancer cure. °

Hungarian Millet.
In sections where the hay crop is
short , one of the best and quickest
catch ! crops is Hungarian millet. The
seed * Is comparatively cheap , ranging
from . $2 to ? 2.25 a bushel , and the crop
, does well on any good soil. In many
localities farmers make a good busi
ness , of sowing Hungarian millet for a
hay crop on any ground from which
a crop can be taken by the middle of
.
August If the crop was a cultivated
one , but little preparation of the soil
,
is necessary. Shallow plowing and a
etl
thorough , harrowing will probably be
sufficient in most cases. It is generally

worth all it costs to get it , and it is

There are many advantages in grou
ing winter oats , particularly in war
localities , for the season of growth
during the cool portion of the fa'l ar
spring , so that they fill well , while * t'
spring-sown oats succumb to , the uar
summers. In growJng winter oat * th
seeding should be done early in S
tember and on good soil. It is tru
that oats will do well on less fort Hi/in
thaw wheat , but. on the other ham
they pay well for good fertilizing.
By sowing at the time specified the

ground sufficient to protect the roe
during the winter. In the spring th.
may be late in starting up. but tin
will come unless the winter has bee
sufficiently severe to kill thorn oj
completely. The plan is well wor
trying , at least on a small area.

On thin land deep cultivation wil

On deep , rich , loamy soil the cultiva
