is the beat way to get rid of quack

An.wcr:--Quack glass appears a
little harder on the ground than
timothy, bet hi the green state it
contains 1.1 per cent, more nitrogen
than clues timothy. Otherwise 1' do
not believe it is hard on the ground,
The growing root stalks sometimes
have been known to grow through
sections of developing potatoes. The
greatest injury the speck grass does
is to use up the soil moisture and
plantfonl and thereby starve the
crops that are forced to grow where
it is competing. A clear and defi-
nite statement of methods of cem-
battf ng the grass pus been published
in O. A. C. Bulletin 188. It is as
follows: "As soon as the crop is har-
vested plow lightly, then harrow
with the ordinary harrow, and, if
necessary, with the spring -tooth cul-
tivator, s shakes Thi
ih e roots free
from the soil and makes it possible
to gather them up with the horse
rake. Burn as soon as they have
died suffe eptly. Repeat this pro-
cess two or three tinter. if the wea-
ther at this time ,should happen to
be dry and hot, ea much the better.
Late in the fall rib up the land into
drills, and allow to stand over winter,
The frost, in all probability, will
render material assistance in the
eradirat•on. The following spring
plow about the end of May, cultivate
well, and put in some hoed crop, o1
summer fallow, sowing buckwheat,`
the crop to be plowed in. A care-
fully cultivated crop of rape is re-
commended ns being particularly ef-
fective id destroying this pest."
J. J. 1).:-1 have 11 acres clay and
loam, rather fiat and with 'hard pan
about. 21z feet below surface. 1 have.
Failed to grow crops on this land,!
reeve tried peas, wheat, oats and.
barley. It looks dark on surface and
is rather fertile leaking. Peas did
well for a while but about blouson
time turned yellowish brown in pat-
chew, which seemed to spread in size
and evcntnally were a failure. Full
wheat was very thin and did not
,ripen even or yield. Oats were short
and very delicate straw. Last sea:,on
I put two Lona of fertilizer on but
without any apparent improvement.
( have this fall plowed and wish you
-to suggest my best course for this
season. 1 have also seeded with clov-
er and stunner fallowed, but without
any available benefit. This field had
been under pasture for a long time.
Answer: --Your clay and loam land
is in need of drainage, It is un-
doubtedly sour, both of which .con-
ditions bring about the results that
you indicate. The reason the craps
turn pale and die out is that after
gerrninatioi they are unable to de-
velop deep and substantial root
growth because the water in the soil
shuts qut the circulation of air there-
in. The sour condition of the soil
which results from bad drainage, and
from continuous pasture, makes it
impossible for the bacteria on the
roots of the legumes to reproduce.
Therefore, peas and clover fail to
grow on your soil. The impervious
subsoil Or hard pan is in need of
breaking up as far as possible so
that the roots of your crop may have
more room to expand. I would ad-
vise you to do as follows: Since
spring is pretty well advanced, and
you -have had the ground thoroughly
fall plowed, seed it to buckwheat at
the rate of about 11 to 2 bushels per
acre. Buckwheat is a medium shallow
feeder and should produce you a good
paying crop of grain this year. It
also thrives on slightly acid soil. As
soon as the buckwheat crop is orf
put in tile drains and apply at least
11/2 to 2 tons of ground limestone per
acre, scattering it as evenly as pos-
sible and working it into the soil by
disking or harrowing. This should
put your ground into good shape
for a profitable crop of grain next
year,
Painting the House
By ADELINE B. WHITFORD.
Next to a copy 0f any of the wel
illustrated, well colored seed eata-
loguea, which come out in quantities
about the first of February, there is
nothing more stiraulating to the im-
agination than one of ,hose folded-
in•a±,d-out, forty -two-color paint
verde, such as we pick up in the
hardware shops, or the drug stores,
shout tho last of April, or the first
of May.
At the close of the long, gray win-
ter veu0on, •you and I Instinctively
turn to color, and while the seed
catalogue lures es with promises
which can only be fulfilled in the slow
processes of nature, amt even then
seldom ae gloriously as we had anti-
cipated, the paint caul imposes no
conditi:us of time or quantity, but
trusts ne implicitly and proves it by
throwing every combination of the
rainbow Into our hands at once, and
telling us that, at the price of so
much per gallon, we may on this very
day carry bones one or any number
at its hoes and spread them out over
•large surfaces, to be looked at inde-
finitely.
It is just possible that while we all
know that this is the language of
the paint card, we do not dwell
thoughtfully enough upon all that its
statement .implies; for if we realized
as we look at those fascinating bits
of color, one-half by two inches in
size, that they only represent a mil-
lionth fraction of the gallons which
eve are to "spread out and look at in-
definitely" we should hesitate longer
than we do over the privilege of be-
ing entrusted with so much liberty.
An old-time artist, upon being
questioned as to how he obtained car-
tain results in colo,', answered, "I
mix the paints 'with bra, ns'." To-
day's house paints cone ready nixed
but "brains" are still needed to direst
the buyer to those few charmed gal -
lone which really should be hers.
When once she finds and uses them,
she will discover that she not only
bought weather -proofing, bnt at the
same time, and at no extra cost, se-
cured for her properly a pleasing
outward appearance, which has sud-
denly given the whole place n touch
of distinction and individuality.
In every paint pail then, there is
something more than paint, end the
householder must not choose at ran-
tlon,
Ono of tho fleet denotes offered by
the paint card lies, as has been said,
in the fact that ite ninny color samp-
les aro so reduced to sire as to appear
perfectly ]t.,rrnle s, No matter how
!lovely -the cleaver reds, greens, yel- t
tows, yellow -browns and Clark grays t
tray be ,in the tiny patches shown on t
i''+r+ advertisers' folders, they arc 't
I delusion and a snare to anyone who
Icannot imagine how they would look
'when used in large quantities. Indeed,
the unimaginative person usually has
two chances for disappointment in
the house paint selected: the first
r from making the above mistake of
buying colors which are too strong;
I the second, front an attempt to use
some unusual combination of colors,
Iwith an idea of making the house ap-
pear striking by this mark of so-cal-
led originality.
The architect, or trained house-
, painter, knows that success, and sat-
isfaction, are only gained from study-
ing the problem from a different
standpoint—I might say by letting
the house and its surroundings decide
what the color whom shall be. ITe
will consider the style of its archi-
tecture as a whole, end pay attention
also to the smaller details such as
doorways, windows, porches. He will
think it important to take into ton -
sideration the color of whatever
buildings there are near the house,
and what its background is; whether
the house is seen against other build-
ings, woods, hills or distant fields,
whether shadowed by trees and vines,
or stands out baro and alone, an ob-
ject which must rely mainly on its
form and color to be made interest-
ing, Thisltakes really close study.
Now as to the matter of strong
contrasts of color which have been
used to give importance to house
"trimmings," they should beavoided
always.
The legitimate use of contrasting
color is -only to accent cave -moulding,
window and door openings; to use it
for cutting up wall spaces by bands,
and zig-zags, cheapens the whole
effect.
The most carefully plumed paint-
ing to -day, makes use of but three
colors at most: a roof stain of med-
ium tone, the wall coloring and the
"trim' -'—meaning the outliuinga of
eaves and openings. "Tvimminga" of
fussy woodwork and contrasting
Oe -brings are no longer considered in
good taste, We are learning to culti-
vate vine and tree-shedotvs, letting

of sunlight, white is of nearly middl
value, where vines and trees make !
green and a hedotwy; it is alwaye more
cheerful than light grays and greens,
which do net 'milieu. serruundbtg
colors,
We should always use em; haeizing
paint for window sail. In colonial
effects this may be white or medium
green, and for other styles of house,
a dark green or blue whi •h is nearly
blade. Well -painted window siteh are
a rich, crisp finish to the whole house,
end any painting scheme which does
not include this detail ha; missed an
int;:ortant feature.
It is w : e to have nothing whate-rcr
to clo with the blue -toned gray., or
slate colors; they do not reflect other
colors, and are chilly and disconsolate
in themselves. Thera are, however,'
many fine tones of warmer gray,
, those for instance resembling old-'
fashioned tubber gum, putty, and
, dull sand color.
One of the handsomest groups of
farm buildings which I have ever
seen, had its barns, small buildings, -
and silo, of a middle -value gray or
putty color, with white trim; the win-
dow sash was dark green, nearly
black. The farm house was white
its roof a weather -stained gray. Ver-'
ended' roofs and• roofs of the bay;
windows, were painted a green of
middle value, a little duller than ap-
ple green. As the building was old
fashioned, the doors were carefully
sandpapered, and painted the same
green. For every gallon of dark gray,
floor paint, a full pint of this green
was added, time harmonizing the ver-'
andah floor with the doors, though
the floors were several tones darker,'
The window sash were green -black,;
There were no blinds but the interior;
shades were olive.
There were a few trees near the'
house, vines over the verandah, sim-I
ple, well -kept grounds and driveways,
and from the top of the gray e.11o,1
which looked from a distance like the
tower of some old castle, there floated i
the three finest colors in the world.!
If one can imagine the whole, it i
unnecessary to add that it made
beautiful picture, and one which wa
interesting as far as it could be seen,
proving that even a grow of old-
fashioned buildings, if painted in a!
carefully chosen color-sceme, mays
come to have distinction and an indi,1
victual style.
It is not the unusual which secures
these results, either in hoose paint -I
ing, furniture or dress—not the strike!
ing, startling combination but the
right one, the sensible one—even the
usual one, done well.

2. A Good Report. The great men
of Old Testament tinea, the "elders
have "had witness born them" (R,V )
in the narratives of the Old Testa-
ment, in respect of their faith. It
is because of their faith that the His-
tory gives so good a report of them.
The difference between Moses, of
good repute, and Pharaoh, of evil re-
pute, is the difference which faith in
God makes.
3. Through Faith Wo Understand..
The tremendous fact of God's crea-
tion of the world is not proved by
historical or scientific evidence. It is
known and apprehended by faith.
And yet how certain a fact it .is, and
e' how sure our knowledge of it! By
al faith we understand,
s I 4. He Being Dead Yet Speaketh.
Faith is the secret spring of right-
eousness. So Abel's faith wrought
righteous deeds, and assured him by
a good conscience that his offering
was acceptable to God. And so it
is that his voice speaks down through
the ages declaring to every genera-
tion that the only gift or offering' of
worship pleasing to C.od is that of
faith and well -doing. For (v. 0)
"without faith it is impossible to
please him."
7, By Faith Noah, warned of God,
prepared the ark which saved his
family from the flood. In a world of
uncleanness he had kept himself
pure, and so had already in himself
the assurance and the enjoyment of
the "righteousness" which is by faith
of the true and living God. ite a•00

A Pointer on Tying Fleeces.
Some weeks ago .a party of county
agents were being shown through a
wool -scouring mill in a lar're city.
They wanted to learn things that they
could take back to help their home
folks. At one point the manager' of
the mill called their attention to the
kind of twine to use in tying fleeces.
He picked up a handful of partly
scoured wool and pointed out dark
fibres, These, he said, were the fibres
from binder twine which were left
in the fleece when it was unbound at
the warehouse or mill.
IC is the caetem • of •the fleece
handlers to cut the cord holding the
fleece together and pull ?,t out. If
common binder twine is used some of
the fibres are sure to •catch in the
fleece and be left there. They do not
take the dye and so -are very objec-
tionable to the woolen manufacturer.
He will not pay the price for such
fleeces that ho will for those which
do not have the fibres mixed with
the fleece. The manager of the mill
said it cid not pay to pick out the
fibres, and showed how a good cotton
or paper string pulls out of a fleece
without leaving fibres. Tf a few cot-
ton fibres should be left it should not
be qatarerful, as the cotton takes the
dye,
The paper twine has a hard, smooth
surface and is best from all stand-
points. It probably costs no more
than eny other kind of tying mater-
ial, probably less than binder twine
Once it hes soared to present prices.
