THE WITCH-GRkSS NUISANCE.
To drive out witch-grass the Min
nesota Station recommends cutting
it early to prevent seeding and starv-
i. out or killing the root seeds by
persistent cultivation. 1t may also
be checked by smothering with COM
mon growing crops like barley sown
in late summer. 1t may also be
killed out by leaving the land fallow
after an early crop ana thoroughly
cuJiyating With disc or wheel har-
row This grass is apparently as
troublesome in the Northwest as in
the older sections Of the country.

Of July Speech

"Rcmcmbcr that Lincoln faced the
greatest crisis that this nation has seen
since the Revolutionary War as great
a crisis as the nation can ever lace, for
it was a crisis which, accordingly as
the result went one way or the other,
meant national life or national death;
and yet with all his firm resolution OF
purpose, with all the unbendng strength
OF his will. with all the dcep-scatcd in
tcnsity and sincerity OF belief which
alone could have borne him up through
trials, such as those he had to face, it
was vet possible for him to say with
entire truth that he bore no rancor
even to those who had gone hopcleSSly
wrong: that while endcavOrIng ruth
lcsslv to cut out the evil, he yet did
his work without hatred to the docr OF
the evil: that while never for one mo-
mcnt binding himself to the truth, to
the philosophy oi what was round
about him. he vet did not treat any
thing that was done against him as a
wrong to be avenged. He treated the
wrong as calling for a remedy, not as
calling for vengeance. 1t is in Just

after windstOrm has broken them
over.
While chrysanthemuills do not break
as easily as dahlias they will look bet
ter all the season through if well staked

them do not forget to pinch back the
branches to force new lateral shoots
and secure a greater number of bloom
