Boone Euglieh Towns Want to Be Re -Christened, It was reported recently that Bugsworth, in Derbyshire, England, had exchanged its ugly -sounding name for the more pleasing title of Llmedale. The announcetnent which proved out to have been founded on fact, arose out of an agitation which had for its aim the change to ques- tion. It being held that Bugsworth was an undignified name for a re- spectable corn for A similar agitation was raised a di, few years ago in respect of Hanwell, OW loner property -owners complaining that they were unable to let their ed homes owing to the association of Hanwell with its famous asylum. The agitators suggested Eithorne as being a more suitable name, but their ef- forts to -effect the change met with 1*t ure. Just before the war the traders of Houndadltch, the famous London thoroughfare, demanded the substi- tution of Hlsbopaway for the existing name of their street, on the ground that they were popularly supposed to be old clothes dealers. A census of the business houses of the locality revealed an overwhelming tuaJorlty in favor of the change, but it never materialized. After the execution of Palmer, the Rugeley poisoner. a deputation of local residents waited upon Lord Palmerston, then Prime Minister, for permission to give the town another name. The deputation submitted var- ious alternatives, but failed to ar- rive at an agreement. Finally-, the Prime Minister suggested that they should Pay him a compliment by calling the town Palmrrscown. The deputation, perceiving the subtle joke, decided after all to stick to Rugeley. which has long since liv- ed down its notoriety.

Spraying with iron sulphate, font or five applications during one sea- son, will generally free a grass area of the peat. But the treatment must be repeated every third year. The first spraying should be applied just before the first blooming period of the dandelion and followed by two others at intervals of three weeks. Two further applications should also be given during September or Octo- ber. Spraying should not be done during the hot, dry period unless i water can be applied to keep the ++ grass growing vigorously. Grass areae that are sprayed usually black- en considerably after each applica- tion, but this burned appearance dis- appears after a few days. Areas that are being sprayed for the eradi- cation of dandelion should be well fertilised, and grass seed should be applled'to keep up the required num- ber of grass plants to form a good turf. White clover is killed by Iron sulphate spray, so cannot succeed under thin method of dandelion con- trol. Tlic etreng;h of solution to use —L. Sicv`enson, Secretapt. t Agriculhtre, Toronto.
