KILLING "DOCK."
How to Deal With Troublesome
Weed on the Farm.

This is known by several common
names, one of which is dock. The
name usually given in botanies is
curled dock. This is evidently de-
rived from the crisped or curled mar
gins of the leaves. It is also called
yellow dock, name which has refer
ence to the color of the root. The
plant has been introduced from Eu'
rope, and is large, coarse, unattrac-
tive perennial and sometimes trouble
some weed. The young leaves are
sometimes used as pot-herb, and the
root has some repute as an article OF
medicine.
The best method of exterminating It
must depend on circumstances. II
there are but few scattering plants,
probably there is no cheaper method
of destroying them than to dig or cut
them out with a sharp mattock. A

, However, he grudgingly INDUCED
Winslow in his quest about the town
for Gonzasa. Winslow thought the
foreigner would vouch for him, and
possibly assist him in obtaining his
release.
But Gonzaga was nowhere to be
found; It was said he had left the tav-

with it is sufficient for each plant
Strike deep enough to sever the root
two or three inches below the surface,
SO that it may not sprout again. Draw
the plant from it's place by giving the
mattock pull upward and forward in
raising it from the ground after the
blow.
The plants may be destroyed by the
application to the crown of each one
of small quantity of some strong
acid, such as carbolic acid or sulphuric
acid; but this will require nearly, if
not quite, as much time as the use Of
the mattock, and the cost of the ma
terial must be added to the cost of the
labor.
These methods are available in kill:

plants are abundant in tillable fields,
there is probably no better way than
to put the fields under cultivation. II
plowed in the fall, winter-freezing will
be serviceable in killing many Of the
exposed roots. Frequent and thorough
cultivation of the growing crops will
kill others and any young plants that
may start from the weed seeds in the
soil. In an exterminating contest with
such weed, it is important that no
plant be allowed to mature crop of
seeds. This will require early atten-
tion to those that grow in pastures
and waste places and along roadsides
They should be destroyed before July
Moving might be quick way of dis
posing of the seed-bearing part of the
plant, but it would not prevent the
root from sending up new shoots To
do this, more effectual treatment must
be given. Nor should anyone expect,
says the Country Gentleman, that he
can clear his land from this weed and
have it remain clean very long unless
he is constantly alert in destroying
it as fast as it appears, or unless his
neighbors will unite in the warfare, so
that no source of a new infection shall
remain.

OUR sLUEJAckETs BEST SHOOTERS,

American sailors are the best target shoot
ers in the world according to our naval officers.
While admitting that the record of the British
ship Bruizers six Founders, said to have made
46 hits out of 81 shots, shows excellent work,
naval officers here are not inclined to give the
palm to the British navy for accurate shooting.
The record of the American navy shows that at
least in one instance % hits out of Is shots were
made by a six FOUNDER. In discussing the work
of the Bruizer naval officers say that before they
can make any accurate or valuable comparison
between British and American Workmanship it
will be necessary to know the size of the target,
the rate OF speed at which 1t was moving, and
the actual time in which the GA shots were de-
nvered. The targets used by the British navy
are considerably larger than those used on this

On arrival in St. Louis the Creigh.
tons were met by Mr.. Creighton, and
at once proceeded to their place near
st. Charles
Most of those who had come in the
boat remained for a time in st. Louis
but all seemed waiting-expecting
they knew not what.
For WinslOw, too, there was nothing
to do but wait, although most eager to
accept the Creighton's urged hospital
ity. The governor was absent in the
south: it was therefore, impossible for
Winslow to deliver the packet which
Aaron Burr had intrusted to him. But
in his anxiety to know the where
abouts and errand of Wilkinson, he
made haste to call upon the deputy.
To his surprise, he was refused ad-
mission. Twice later he was denied
with insufficient reason. Had an Ill
wind preceded him with tidings which
made his presence difficult?
One night he strobe impatiently up
and down the vine-covered porch in
front Of the tavern. Dreading failure
OF the plans Of Aaron Burr, he was
made still more lonely by the loss of
companionship which had grown so
dear, and turned into sweet the bitter
of exile
Suddenly there was a clamor of
hoofs outside, and two men dismount-
ed at the wicket.
A boy ran forward to hold the
horses, and the riders entered the
yard. With eyes upon Winslow, they
walked with steady, business like mien
to where he stood. Then the taller

All this went through his mind as
he listened to the foreign's muddled
explanation. The packet of letters was
in his pocket-"and they shall stay
there" was Winslow's mental CON-
ment, as he grimly buttoned his coat,
until I am better acquainted with the
temper of the man to whom they are
addressed"
He was bowling himself out, when
the deputy detained him. Some wine,

brought decanter and goblets.
At this unique turn OF threatened
