Reports come from Ontario that the
perennial sow thistle has gained a
firm foothold, making it the greatest
weed enemy with which the farmer
has to contend. 1t has been spread
from one farm to another by the
threshing machines, the numerous
seeds being easily carried. One meth
cd being advocated for its eradication
is to SOW winter rye in September and
pasture it the following spring. This
can be followed in June by rye, tur-
nips or buckwheat In this way crops
are secured and the sow thistle
fought at the same time.

A burglar entering a house by a

and broke his leg when making off
with his booty. An inquiry into the
accident revealed that, contrary to the
bylaws of the town, the house own
