Autumn. Cultivationo"r ifieea Control (Experimental Farms Note) The ploughing of the land in the fall is desirable as a part of the regular work of the farm since it enables the ground to be got into proper condition for sowing the seed in spring considerably earlier than would otherwise be the ease. But it is perhaps of even greater impor- tance as a means of keeping weeds in cheek. In the case of perennial weeds the mere turning up and ex- posing of the rootstocks to the ac- tion of the frost will serve as a considerable check to the weeds in cases where they are not killed out- right. Where it is desirable to col- lect and burn creeping rootstocks this can be more readily accomplish- ed where the ground ]las been pul- verised by the frost and snow of winter. 'In the case of annual weeds these are of two classes From the point of view of their life -history. One group requires a resting period be- fore the seeds will germinate and this holds good even if the conditions with regard to moisture and temper- ature are suitable. These normally germinate in the Spring of the fol- lowing year after they are shed, but In many species the germination can be delayed for several years if the seeds are buried to a considerable depth in the soil. This is true of such species as wild oats and ttild mustard. Each time the surface of the ground is disturbed some of these buried seeds will germinate and if no other seeds are allowed , to fall into the soil in the meantime, the ground will eventually become, clear of them. In another group of annual species known as Winter Annuals, the seeds germinate immediately after they. are scattered and pass the winter in the forst of a small seedling plant which survives under the snow and resumes growth in the following spring. Belonging to this group are `Lite following weeds : Chess, Purple Cockle, Night -Flowering Catehfly, Stinkweed, Sheppard's Purse, False ]"lax, .Ball M lstafti, 3VUd Radish, Ilaro's tar Mustard, Tumbling tlYtls- tard, Poppergrass, Wormseed Mus- tard, Corti G.romwe&l, '131tte 13m:- 0u: Stlekweed, and Stinking 'Maywood. It is in the ease 01 these weeds that autumn cultivation is Specially de- sirable es if' they are turned 'ander with the plow and covered sufficient- ly deep, very tow of therm will be able to continue their growth atter ;lite „sinew melts, e when he said - "Either the civilian popu- lation must go short of many things to which it is accustomed in times of peace or our armies must go short of munitions and other things indispensable to them." NOW the only way we can • possibly live up to that obligation is by going with- out in order that our .soldiers may have;. For the money we waste is not",money at all -it is equipmen, clothing, shot and shell that are ur- gently needed in France. By denying ourselves, there- fore, we enable Canada to procure to the fullest extent the materials and labor which she and our Allies need for the successful prosecution of the war. What happens when we fail to save? A pull on labor by the Govern- ment in one direction and a pull on labor by the people in the opposite direction. Hundreds of millions of dollars are of no use to the country if goods and services can be secured only to the extent of eighty millions of dollars. So we must do every- thing in our power to release both goods and labor for the purposes for which Canada needs them. WHETHER it be food, coal, wool, steel, leather, labor or transportation, the result in all cases is the same. Whoever competes with the nation by freely satisfying his own desires, selfishly appro- priates to his own use that which is so urgently required for our fighting men in France. For the sake of your country and the boys "over there," spend cautiously.

The Warden's committee had examined the premises on the prev- ious Saturday in company with a committee of the C. A. Society, and some improvements and alterations were decided upon, which are to be made forthwith, The committee al- so agreed to furnish sone of the staple articles needed in the equip- ment of the house. Offers from the Womea's institutes of Goderich and Clinton to assist in furnishing the house have been received and grate- fully acknowledged, and donations of individual articles and partial sets have also been received from several citizens of town, The Society will be glad to receive from individuals or organizations in sympathy with the work, in any part of the county, donations of blankets, pillows, sheets, towels, dishes and kitchen utensils, in fact of anything that will be needed for the comfort and proper care of children, and cash donations or supplies of provisions will also be welcome, Write the county secretary; Mr. G, M. Elliott, and tell hint what you can do for the work. Anyone who had been present at this last sleeting would have readily realized the magnitude and impor- tance of the Society's work, the eas- es of neglected or wayward children on the docket being more than could be considered at one sitting, It is worth while quoting that three cases of cruelty to animals were reported as dealt with, including one from the neighborhood of 13xetor which was particularly cruel, bat in which the defendant pleaded guilty and Pahl a still penalty. This, too, is a work the ,Society prosecutes earnest- ly. It is (roped the new shelter will be pttffeicntly ready for Oso early in October, and tie formal public.open- irig will take place darling county council week in December, whoa the Provincial Superintendent, 1ltr.

'Tis a cold, dreary night in the trenches, I watch on my outpost alone ; And my thoughts wander back o'er the ocean To a spot which myheart knows as Hone. I hear the sharp crack of a rifle And the whizz of the shells going by, With an aeroplane's heavier hum- ming As it scurries away in the sky, From the enemy's lines on the hill- side Sharp flares light the plain far and near ; Then the Lewis gun barks in tine darkness Farther back than the flashes appear. And I watch steady on from my outpost, My tired eye neer seeking to roam, While sweet visions come drifting before me- Dear pictures of loved ones at itonie. As I gaze far away to the eastward I can see• the mild breaking of dawn, And my heart with the, sky splendor lightens, For the cold night has faded and gone, Peace will tomo to the war -tired nations ; And my glad way will lie o'er the foam, '1'g any own native land, bravo Co - tumble, And the spot which my heart hias 111 1 --Privvesate Ll10oytl40 Burgess 1.3rown.

They claim that the -vendors aro pushing their business with the doc- tors oetors and informing them concerning methods by which liquor can be se- cured. The vendors apparently are not familiar with the law as it applies to Canada Temperance Act Counties and -they have .been notifie that if further shipments aro sent into Huron County contrary to our law, prosecution will follow. The doctors and express agents are also liable to prosecution if they violate the law by giving requsitions, and delivering shipments. Liquor and alcohol can be secured in 0. T. A. counties only through a druggist on a elector's prescription, and the doctor must only prescribe. what is considered absolutely necessary at the time the prescription is given, and the gttantlts, must not exceed ten ounces.
