Few f irniers would knowingly in

to live upon the best the land affords,
but jutit now many a negligent farmer
is allowing to go to seed dozens ol
luxuriant weeds. They will "run
out," ol course, but it will take years,
and while they are "running out"
they will run the farmer out, too, and
his soil out and his income out. The
farmer who allows weeds to overrun
his farm is neglecting a serious, im
perative duty.

TALK
RE DING AND SEWING.
There would lie fewer classes worn
them for reading and sewing earlici. It is near work that wears out the eyes.
The bookkeeper, typewriter, the dressmaker, the child in school are all putting
their eyes to the hardest strain. A great many have constant headache which
they attribute to indigestion and nervousness, when the cause is simply overtax
ed eyes If in reading the evening paper you have to place the light "Just
So"; if the letters all run together j if you have to close your eyes and rub
them j it is nature's protest against over work. If threading your needle is
more difficult than it used to be, it is the first warning of defective eyesight.
The sooner you use glasses for near work the better. If you commence at
once very likely you will only have to wear them in reading and sewing. If
you go on straining your eyes, the chances are you will soon have lo wear
glasses constantly. ,-A stitch in time saves nine."
