waist, the bunch Of sweet peas at her

Their welcome to him was gracious.
The American girl spoke French with
an accent that Sabron thouhat be-
wildering'y charming. and he put aside
some OF his reserve and laughed and
talked at his ease. After dinner (this
he remembered with peculiar distinct
ness) Miss Redmond sang for him, and
although he understood none of the
words Of the English ballad, he learned
the melody by heart and IL followed
with him when he left. II went with
him as he crossed the terrace into the
moonlight TO mount his horse; 1t went
hcme with him; he hummed ii, and
when he got up to his room he hummed

But later he discovered that he was

hours when he might return.

he had new picture TO add to his col.

weed and foxtail, start to mature
seeds soon after harvest, SO that care
must be taken to turn the plants I'M
der before the seeds approach matur-
ity Flowing without the preliminary
disking would turn under millions of
weed seeds to make trouble in future
years.
Moving to Prevent Seed Scattering.
Moving is another way of prevent
ing weeds from going to seed. AS a
rule, it is best to NOW when weeds
have reached the full-bloom stage.
When there are patches in grain fields
thick with weeds, it will pay to cut
them, grain and all, before the weeds
start to go to seed.
1t pays to cut hay crop early, In
order to prevent weeds from going
to seed as well as to secure better
quality of hay. After a grain crop is
removed, crop of weeds, such as
ragweed or foxtail, usually follows,
which, If not disturbed, not only re-
seeds the land for further crops of

a young seeding of clover or grass.
Moving these weeds will prevent
most of them from going to seed, and,
further, the clippings will be of value
as a mulch for the young grass.
More or less hand work is neces-
sary in preventing the growth and
spread of weeds on the farm. They
often occur in scattered places about
the fields and can be removed by hand
with a little work, whereas if they are
allowed to mature they will thorough
ly seed the land and make trouble for
the future. Such weeds may be pre-.
vented from seeding, either by hand
pulling or digging them out with a
mattock, hoe or spud so far below
the surface that new top growth will
not spring up and mature seeds. The
annual and biennial weeds will make
no further appearance if pulled or
cut off when they are in full blossom.
One of the best tools for disposing
of weeds with thick roots is the spud,
a tool with long handle and chisel-
like blade at one end These are
particularly effective with bull thistle.
mullen, and chicory. BY digging the
weeds when they are in full blossom

farms of corn-cockle. wild mustard.
and many other weeds by little hand
work.
Sheep are useful in preventing
weeds from seeding. In a pasture
where sheep are running it is usually
much more free of weeds than in
pastures where cattle ans horses are
running. Another method of prevent.
ing the spread of weeds sometimes
used, is burning them, culling. spoil.
ing or turning over the standing weed
crop. This is often useful in killing
weed seeds both in connection with
the weeds cut green and allowed to
dry, and with matured weeds. Care
should be taken not to fork or disturb
piles while drying. as this might scat.
ter the seed and then defeat one of
the objects of burning.
