We commend strongly the custom
which seems to be coming into vogue
home and painting the same on a neat
signboard and posting at the entrance
to the place, together with the name of
the proprietor. Doing so Is quite likely
to increase the interest and pride
which the owner will feel in keeping
the premises in neat and attractive
shape, while we are not at all sure
that it does not result in an effort on
his part to raise few more bushels
of corn and oats to the acre and keep
better grade Of live stock. 1t is worth
trying at all events and Is great con-
venlence to the passerby.

There Is probably no common weed
in the central western states that gives
the gardener more trouble than crab
grass. Coupled with remarkable vi
tality. it is deep rooted. practically
drought proof, and, due to its habit Of
roofing wherever the joints of stems
come in contact with the earth, 1t
quickly occupies the ground and stran-
giles the life out Of anything in the
ga@,en which comes within its grasp.
The only way to get rid of it is unre-
lentng warfare with a sharp hoe and
seeing to il that none of 1t goes to
seed. The matter Of DISCRIMINATING II
Is smplifed in that it is an annual and
lis roots do not live through the winter.

A few roots of horseradish about
the place often give pleasant variety
for the table, and it requires little or
no care. The grated roots form a
delicious relish for the table in the
spring and fall, and winters supply
can be had by placing the roots in
moist soil or sand in the cellar. The
fresh young leaves of the horseradish
make appetizng green's in the spring

If you should encounter about your
house or ON your lawn or garden a
smell offensive enough and strong
enough to require the presence Of a
dozen dead rats to account for it,
make a careful inspection of the shady
places of your lawn and garden and
you will likely run across one or more
specimens Of the sinking or carrion
toad stools, whose responsibility for
the odor mentioned can be determined
by getting your olfactories within three
feet Of them. To be rid of the nui-
sance, bury as with other carrlon.

We are right in the midst of the ap-
pie season, which is time welcomed
by young and old alike. What is better
than the crisp, fresh green apple pie
or a rich juicy baked apple? And
nearly every one enjoys ripe rosy
checked apple right from the tree. Not
all have apple trees or orchards at
their command; consequently they
have to depend upon some kind neigh
Dor or the grocery store. Much of the
fruit brought in to supply the local
market is very imperfect and bruised.
This is a disappointment to the pur-
chaser, as the fruit is Of inferior quail
ity and spoils quickly. Don't leave the
apple picking to the children.

"Some Common Weeds and Their

the Minnesota experiment station, in

one of the most effective. In the in

was spread over a patch of quack
grass about rod square on July Z. Ii
was Tapped enough TO make a complete
covering, and a few shovels of dirt
were thrown on the edges TO keep
them in place. Two days later the
plants were all dead above ground,
and a month later the roots were APP

is commended as excellent for patches
of small size. the cost Of the tar paper
would make II impractical for larger

Warburton sat down and twirled his
hat. Several times he repressed the
desire to laugh. He gazed curiously
about him. From where he sat he
could see into the kitchen. The French
chef was hanging up his polished pans
In glistening row back of the range,
and he was humming little chason
which Warburton had often heard in
the restaurants of the provincial cities
of France. He even found himself
catching up the refrain where the chef
leet off. Presently he heard foot
steps sounding on the hardwood floor,
which announced that the maid was
returning with her mistress.
He stood up, rested first on one foot,
then on the other. and awkwardly
shifted his new. hat from one hand to
the other, then suddenly put the hat
under his arm, recollectirg that the
