BY limatn With the arrival of winter comes a 'check to all vegetable:grewth, awl an interesting 411.e4tion'arises in ene'a mind as to what becomes of the many varieties -of weeds, at that time. Are they killed, or are they to reappear? This wi) should know, , so that. •tile .eArliest opportunity may bo token to attack and exterminate them. Weeds are comMenlet classilled as annuas, benniale, and teerenntals, with winter annuals as a conveniene, though not very scientific further dis- tinction. An annual 'weed snaydlse A winter annual when it starts in the fall, and is fortunate in its location or in the season; or it may be regular- lY rinter annual a little farther 40110. • • Annual.—Ordinarily an annual is a weed that germinates in spring or early summer, grows and reproduces before winter, dying naturally or when caught by autuien frosts, and leaving its'Progeny safely, tucked away ,withln seed -coats capable of withstanding ,winter's adversities. It is the seed of the anneal therefore, that holds the strategical positioe, and its import.ance is wellattested by the abutddance of it, as compared with other weeds. If we can induce the eeed to germinate before winter, ter if we' can start it early enoggh in spring, froat in the one case and pre- paration for spring- sown crops in the other ,will get it while young. Fag germination can only' be secured by providing a moist, friable seed -bed through after harvest and fall culti- vation. Even then. some weeds, like wild oats, refuse to be timpted forth to their undoing; but the fall work is not eritirely'lest on them, since it-pre- peres for their earlier start in the apring. • For most annuals, an,y ,prac- tice which will hasten spring germ. illation, as fall instead of spring plow- ing, drainage and ridging up ovea winter if -necessary to ary the land early, and running the harrows quick- ly over all bare fields before proceed- ing with, other seeding- operations, is all to the good. Many annuals are thus started before any crop is in the way of their destruction. Still an- other starting of them may be over- taken yet by harrowing young grain If it.leas not been seeded down. This Is a favorite means of reducing Rus- sjanthistiein. spring grain, and can often be used against the annual mus- tards: - Winter .A.nnuals, which differ in be- ing able to survive the winter as seed- lings, include such well known weeds, as shepherd's puree, stink -week, tunib- I ling mustard, false flax and chess. Having a root system already develep-1 ed, they are able in the spring to out. strip the farmer who is -not peompt1y1 on the job. They are soon too stu.Pd y to be easily uprooted, and some are in bloom by the thee other vegetation is starting. Stinkweed and shepherd's purse may commence flowering at an 111, (MOIL inch Or two in height, arid maY evel go into, tbo winter, in 4:oorn, remain- ing fresh under the i'mosfr, and pro- ceeding to mature 'seed en the return of warm weather. • Even more than for annuals it is important to attend closely to the condition of the fields at, wintoring-in, and in Awrly spring. Winter annuals starting in fall -sown grain may sometimes be thinned out by a stroke of the harrow before the ground becomes too hard in springs Otherwiee hand -pulling, • a desirable safe-gueed in any evert, becomes -m- duly, lalsorious. . Biennial weed s usualiy start growth early enough ia the sunneer to provide themeselves a Stout tap -root and a strong tosett,e of leaves lying, snugly on the g.rourel to cerry :them through .the winter and furnish reserve food for• the flower -steam which is. quickly pushed up' in the emend year: Blue - weed and evening primrose are good examples. Unless killed ae seedlings, , the broad -shared celtivator is the best implement for them; or they may be spudsleti or •handePtelled while the ground is soft. Such weede simply brancli out again, and go to seed a little later, If niewedeor cet above the orogen .only once. Pereenial weeds, while also repro- ducing by seed, maintain thernselves frorn year to year.by their strong root systems, whiSh may be creeping, like those of the Canada and perennial sow thisbles, or short and ,fleshly as with the '`decke and daecielion. No sitriple operation in fall or spring will suffiee.to exterminate the average Per- ennial, although exposure to the action of frost on an up -turned furrow or ridged land will help. Most peren- nials come through the winter priined for vigorous growth; and except in lead to be under fallow or a tilled crop, it is usually most practicable be let them spend themselves in prepare - ton for seed production, and then by timely cutting of hay or grain, pee. vent t,h1e. Plowing before the plant has a chance to .replenish its lost stores must then ebts., followed up by close starvation of the underground parts by the use of the broad -shared culti- vator as often' as they would reach the light; or in some few cases by dragging them out bodily int6 the hot sun to dry. Couch grase and dock, in feet, are better removed entirely when. this is possible. A mere occasional stirring of perennial rootstocks only serves to break them up and trans- plant thenis like so many cuttings. • Rotations.—It cannot be over em- phasized that a regular short rotation of crops, which provides a cleaning crop at intervals, smother crops,of clover, etc., and at ail times, the most tluifty and complete poseession pos- ed:tie of the soil hy crop% is the best insurance against weeds. In addition, enough should be known of the special life history of each weed to guide one in the chdice of additional methods of attack and to make them emsonalle. A -BOY'S APPEAL FOR CANADA'S FORESTS (An essaywrittenby Percy Russell, MISS ETHEL, J. M "Protect the Forestit is yews!" should be our slogen. Canadians should accept mid help because we derive much revenue from Forests. Our national development, our future welfare, and OUT industries depend entirely on the forests.

Foreet fires are an annual &cur- rence. Ground fires, surface fires; and Crown fires do much damage. Fires spread rapidly throughunder- growth, and dead trees. The bearded growth on old evergreens carries fire quickly. Shavings from mills. cause many fires. Fires travel up hill quickly. Burning trees fall and start fires lower down. Wind, heat and dry weather aid fires. Dampness and heavy dew hinder small fires. Fires leave desolation in their path. As eighty-six per cent of the fires are due to human agency, they could be prevented. Settlers clearing land, 'and railroad camps are -responsible for many fires.

Jewish anger, which had been steadily growing againet one whom they supposed to be the betrayer of the ea,tion, cattle to a head, and Paul was seized and rough- ly handled by an incited multitude, • from whom be waa pnlyaavecl by irk. Iterventien of tile Roman garrison. It must be" remembered that Jewish na- tional feeling against the Roman goy' eminent was rising steadily. The Jews misled by fenetical leaders, had drifted irrevocably on to the course which little more than ten years later brought about the fatal rebellion in which Jerusalem went down it bleed and slaughter. To such people, bent on recovering -the old ' ngtional inde- pendence of Jedma, the very exietenoe of Paul was abhorrent, By &daring that the lave was abrogated in Christ and that the eld barrier between the Jews and the Gentiles had been taken down,hewas held to be a traitor who had segued away the national hope. Coneequently, weeteederstand the na- ture of the attack now made on him and in our etudy of the lesson we shag Thliaatvieentoal iabtaiteenttetilottlie d!tar ils of the V. 27.

Needims to say, however, it was not from these Jewish Christione, but from the ion -Christian na.tionalists that the attack upon his life now pro- ceeded. The signal came.from certain Jews who had observed Pahl in Asia. Seeing him in the temple, they imme- diately incited the mob to seize him and lning him to a.ccouet. .V. 28. The cry is spread that the national hope is in danger. They have found in the very temple the renegade who for Years hese been undermining the ca.use of the Jewish people. First, he has spoken againet the people by his monstrons assertion that God has e'veechilmhyi,e hicienhgadsomspotoken. the nGeinarett ithhese- Law by deceiring that lt has been 're- pealed through Christ. Thirdly, he has defamed the place, that is, the temple, by saying that lt will pass away, and that Christian believers are the true temple of God. As the. Jews believed that C-od intended his king- dom only for themselves, and only upon condition of their keeping tho Law, and as they further* believed that, when God came to set up his kingdom, he would suddenly appear in his temple (Malachi 3:1),. it can be seen that the charge againet St. Paul was a very serious one in non- Christian Jewish eyes. And as if all this was not enough, they now rake up the ,charge that Paul had intro- duced Greeks ehrto the inner collet of the'temple, and so defiled it. This, if true, was an offence punishable with death. V. 29. It is apparent, however, that the last charge was quite untrue. The accusers had seen Paul, accompanied by Trophimus the Ephesian, on the streets, and they imagined that he meet have taken him into the temple. Inscriptions, placed all along the wall between the outer and the inner court of thesemple, forbade any Gentile to advance into the inner court un pain of death._ One of these inscrip- tions has been discovered in recent years. Vs. 30-36. The effect of all these charges upon a populace seething with national indignation was indescrib- able_ Paul was rushed out of the temple,. the doors behind him being immediately locked, and the apostle was on the point of being murdered by the mob, when the captain of the Roman guard located, in the fortress of Antonia, just north of the temple - area, got word of the riot and prompt - y arrived on the scene. tHis appear- ance with a troop .of soldiers and offi- cers' at his back imposed a ,check on he riotus, and they stopped beating ---s Without sunlight, mineral salts in , the blood of chicks were not deeosited in the' bone, and the chicks 'developed e leg weakness or rickets, and made ho growth.

But so xbreme was the popular violence that when they came to the steps leading up to the barracks at the Antonia fortress, Paul had to be lifted bodily by the soldiers and humeed into sefety.
