Combating DandeliOns in Lawns

Prof. R. Kent Beattie, botanist at the
State College and Experiment Station,
has prepared the following statement as
an answer to many requests for intor-
nation as to how to combat dandellons
in lawns:
The common dandelion is on the in
crease as a pest in the lawns OF Eastern
Washington. It is very difficult plant
to eradicate. 1t perpetuates itself by a
large, fleshy root which is difficult to
kill and this must be removed before
one can get rid of the plant. A very
common method is to dig out as much
of the root as possible with long,
heavy knife, or with tool called
spud, and then to put few drops OF
coal oil on the cut surface of the roots.
In many cases the coal oil kills thatpart
of the root which remains. 1t is, how
ever, not perfectly successful. Some
persons have tried sulphuric acid on the
roots. This is a difficult thing to han
die, for it is very injurious to the hands
and the person. 1t usually kills the
dandelion roots, but in some cases they
escape.
Recently a good many people have
tried spraying for dandelions, and this
is recommended by some. The method
used is to make a solution of iron sui
%xryo fn mn
water. Apply this to the lawn with
spray pump SO that it will make fine
mist. Some people put half an ounce of
sulphuric acid in each gallon Of the
spray. In any event, all that this spray
can do is to kill the tops. If. however,
one should begin in the spring and kill
the tops with the spray and then repeat
the process as often as new ones appear,
one ought in time to get rid of the roots
by starving them out. The spray does
little or no injury to lawn grass and
clover. 1t sometimes blackens the edges
of the leaves a little, but the damage
is never serious. From the standpoint
of cheapness and ease of application at
least this is probably the best method
to use in fighting the dandelion.

was while at Woodstock that Mir. Flynn and myself attended musical concert at Dudley, where first heard large chorus of more than hundred singers under a trained musician and composer, B. F. Ba. ker of Boston. renter church music. To me 1t was wonderful revelation and gave an entirely different conception of the power of sacred music.
 have always felt that attending the concert and convention at Dudley was the turning point in my musical life, and had t not been for Mr. Flynn I could not ihaye gone, as the cost of a horse and carriage was more than could afford, and Mr. J. Willis Patterson, the beloved Principal, man of high literary attachments and spien- dld personality, who left his impress frr good on every student. and who afterwards was president of Dartmouth college, and later United States senator from \ " Hampshire, would not have consented 10 my going alone. When l told Mr. Flynn about it. he sad, "I would like to go my self and will take my horse and take you along"
 The dear Master has been better to me than ever deserved, and l cannot thank Him enough for all His goodness, and also for the kindness of the good people of old Woodstock. Yours sincerely,

Did Cobbett say: When man comes to his adjectives, I tremble for him." or did he tremble at the thought of writer using the word "It?" The only book by Cobbett now on hand is his Tour in Scotland" in which he says dreadful things against potatoes and shouts the praise of prose. oat- cakes and oatmeal, a book delight ful by reason of its vituperation, as when he described the Globe newspa- per as that rumble tumble of filth and beastly ignorance" and Denman as the dirty bill of indictment draw CT" for the Broughhams and the Greys. Probably the saying is in Cob bett's English grammar. We were reminded of it by reading about John Walter, the founder of the London Times That journal was at first printed Geographically: that is, a number of words and phrases were cast entire, to save compositors the trouble of collecting type. Thus these phrases were on single block: Dreadful robbery" "atrocious out rage" fearful calamity" interesting female" There are writers today who always join the same adjective to cer- tain nouns, just as it is easy to fall into the trick of characterizing a per son or qualifying thing by applying three adjectives. as the Irish lady was described in her epitaph as bland, passionate and deeply religious !" They say that Kinglake, writing The Invasion of the Crimea," worked for a number of hours and left spaces for adjectives He then rode on horse back, meditated the fitting adjeetiyes. and on his return inserted them. Was it not Daudet who said that the ad- iective should never be the legitimate wife of the substantive? Look through "Gulliver's Travels" mark the sobri- ety in the use of words, and note the strength and authority thus gained. Lafcadio Heern's description of the Windward islanss is in striking con trast-the style is as lush as the tropical vegetation: the reader should don colored spectacles. Yet with a few adiectives Poe and Coleridge could work wonders. and Walt Whit man was often fortunate. as when he spoke of the gorgeous, indolent sum-" the sun "so calm and naughty" mad. naked summer night"-Philip Hale, in Boston HSTS.S.

 Mir William Howard Doane, whose eightieth birthday was widely honored last February, was an slumnus of Wood stock Academy. While enrolled as stu dent about 1S46, his conversion took place and as a leader of the Academy choir Mir. Doane early gave evidence of rare musical gifts, destined to render his name world renowned, as he afterwards became the composer of many familiar tunes.
 MT. Doane has also achieved distinc- ton in other directions. Because of his inventions he has been decorated with the cross of the "Legion of Honor" by France, a tribute bestowed upon but few foreigners. A rare degree of success has also characterized Mir. Dosne's business career, while his sphere of influence has been ar-reaching in various forms of church work, in evangelistie fields and as a philsnthropist.
 The following extracts are from a per soual letter from Mir. Doane to a friend of The Cleaner:
