The burdock is a biennial plant
which seeds the second year and, then
dies. 11 the seeding is prevented by
cutting the plant now or any time be-
fore the seeds aro formed, there will be
an end of it. The quickest way to
manage weeds of this kind including
others like the wild carrot, mustard,
dock, etc., is to mow them early in the
summer, and thus prevent seeding, or
to cut each two inches below the
ground with a spud.

Exeter's Vocalists Do Well.
As was announced last week several
from here took part in the Annual
Musical Festival of the United Choirs
held at London last weak. An exceed-
ingly large crowd was in attendance
and a general good time was spent.
The concert was a disappointment in
one respect—the choir competition was
without competition. Exeter provid
ed the only mixed chorus, and Owen
Sound the only male chorus. Five en.
tries had been made, but for reasons
unexplained none presented themselves
in the competitive trial but the two
mentioned. This was unexpected. The
remainder of the programme was give
en in its entirety. The hymn, "Un-
changeable, Almighty God," was given
by the combined company, led by Mr.
Frank Ruse, of this place, The Exeter
mixed choir opened the " competition "
with four selections, " The Departure,"
"The Nightingale," The Vale of Rest"
and " The Singers," Mr. Ruse wended
the baton. Their execution was high-
ly creditable, and evoked well -merited
applause. " The Singers," a piece of
their own choosing, was so well giyen
that Mr. Winter asked them to repeat
it at the evening concert. The pleasant
duty devolved upon Prof. E. Fisher, of
the Toronto Conservatory of Music, of
announcing the decision .of the judges
in the afternoon competition and of
making the awards. The possible
number of points were 100. There
were light qualities criticised; balance
and quality of tone, intonation, phras-
ing, enunciation, expression, choice of
temo, phrasing and correctness. Prof.
Fisher then hauded the leaders of the
two choruses --Dr. Cavanagh, of
Owed Sound, and Mr. Ruse, of Exeter—
handsome iyory and ebony batons, tip•
ped with gold and silver respectively.
They were valued ac $75 each. Each
member of both choirs also received a
• handsome badge, gold trimmed,

to have played an awfully mean trick
on one of his lady patients recently
whom he was called in to see. He

"that will do." The lady Said in sur-

at my tongue." "No he answered, "I
only wanted you to keep quiet while
I wrote the prescription,"—St. Marys
