falling which melted about as fast as it
came. 1t grew a little warmer later in
the day and rain fell which continued all
night and all day Thursday. 1t was just
the thing for fall blowing and the farm
ers who had finished threshing were
happy.
kast Saturday it was reported that one
of the school houses in the Now Hradec

WHEN TO CUT CANADA
THISTLE,
NO24

To rid farm of Canada thistle is a
serious problem all through the agri-
cultural districts of this State. The
State Legislature has recognized the
damage done to agriculture by this
noXious weed, and passed a law re-
quiring them to be eut before going to
seed. Nearly every farmer has his
own theory, his certain date on which
they should be cut. The requirement
that they should be cut before going
to seed is useless, if the practical ex-
perience of such well known farmers
as William Hill is correct He SAYS
he has experimental with the seed,
planting and tending them with care,
and the thistle will not grow from
seed. He says he has rid his farm of
the pest by cutting them on the 30th
day of July, and that he has never
seen the sign of q thistle where they
were cut on that day. Other farmers
in the vicinity confirm this statement
and have proven it by their own expe-
ricncc. Others have cut them on diff
ferent dates after July 18th with the
same results. The rule seems to be
any time between July 10Th and Au-
gust 5th. Between these dates the
thistle reaches maturity, and the time
to cut is when they have full bloom
The theory is that the strength of the
noNious plant is exhausted at that
time, and that they have no strength
to revive if the top is cut at that time.
H. H. Van Duzer, during five-years'
experience on the meadow farm, says
he has proven this true by actual ex.
perience in practically ridding that
farm of the pest. Ifpossible, he claims
they should be cut just before rain,
but in any event the cutting at this
particular time kills them
Another pest, even more harmful to
the farm than Canada thistle, is the
wild mustard, which so many farmers
allow to go to seed. The greatest care
should be taken to SOW seed entirely
free from mustard, and even at the ex-
pense of damaging the years crop, the
mustard should not be permitted to go
to seed. Wild mustard will ruin a
farm quicker and more surely than any
noNious weed that grows, and the pest
is given altogether too little attention
by farmers,

y ABSOLUTELY PURE
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
TABLE ETIQUETTE.

We were in the dining car of the
Empire State express travelling north.
Just as we were taking our coffee my
companion said: "Look at my Lord
Chesterfield. That man manners are
perfect" This remark related to a
dark-eyed, llack-haircd gentleman
seated at a table just beyond us.
How rare is such an instance. Of
times one wishes that the rules of Ia
bic etiquette might be daily rehcarsed.
1t seems absurd, and yet observation
teaches us how necessary that the "do
nots' be enforced and REINFORCED.
Do not use spoon or knife when
fork will do.
Do not elevate fruit or anything
else to the mouth with knife.
Do not section off q slice of bread
with your knife.
Do not butter an entire slice at one
time.
Do not fill soup spoon toward you
Do not present the tip of spoon to
your mouth.
Do not beat a tattoo between courses.
Do not mark out designs on the Ia
blecloth with the silver.
Do not cat rapidly.
These rules seem trite and unneces-
sary. But constant lapses show their
Importance.
1t was only an old negro woman's
criticism, but the illustration might be
duplicated "There's no use talkin'
to Marse George till he's dun dinin'.
r'9r he puts his big roun face so close
t his plate he sees nuthin' else, an kin
hear nuthin' else elder"
The breaking of table rule in one
instance nearly prevented marriage.
a young lady recently remarked on
returning from dinner given at the
home of her fiancce: mamma, I've al
most made up my mind to break my
engagement. | was the only one at
the table who did not make noise
while taking soup
Perhaps these illustrations may
seem peculiar. Not at all. They are
every day occurrences. There are
many obnoxious manners even among
people who know we'll enough to do
better.
Note the so-called gentleman and gen
tlewoman who leave hotel dining room
Watch how many are accompanied by
the wooded toothpick, and, further
more, put it to its use rs they walk
through the corridors, stand in groups,
or lounge in adjacent easy chairs.
This is the result when habit and
carclessncss go hand in hand.
For the same reason We see elbows
on the table, napkins tucked under the
chin, chairs tilted, glasses drained,
arms reached across the table, and
complete absorption in eating to the
utter mel roct Of conversation.
But all these disagrecable habits
may be revoked. Observation and re-
Election will prove admirably good
teachers.
Everybody has the opportunity to
copy and TO shun. The fault is our
neighhor may be unconsciously pres
ent in ourselves. There let us be crit
ical of our own habits and copy our
own ncighbor's when we can do it to
advantage. This is an instance where
copying is not only permissible, but
praiseworthy.
