Sisymbrium officinale (Hedge Mustard).
Plant one to three feet high; wide spread-
ing branches ; small
yellow flowers; pods
awl -shaped, closely
pressed to the stem,
and erect, of about
sa.me size as those of
common mustard. A
very common roadside
weed, growing usually
ceeee, close to the sidewalks
in villages and small
towns, but seldom
proving a nuisance on
the farm.
ParAVERACEJE (Poppy Family).
We are not troubled much with weeds
from this order, of which the plants have a
milky or colored juice, regular flowers,
which soon fall to pieces and cover the
ground where they have been in bloom.
Paperer rheas (Field Poppy).
This variety bears red flowers, which are
exceedingly common
in the fields of Eng-
land, but as yet have
not got such a foot-
hold in Canada. The
variety P. duliittm,
with lighter red flow-
ers, is also making its
appearance. Hand -
weeding is a good
method to get rid of
these annual weeds
bearing showy flowers.
Cheliclonium majus (Celancline). Fee. 12.
This is sometimes found by the waysides,
having escaped from gardens, where it has
been grown. The flowers are small, of yel-
low color, and arranged in a sort of umbel;
the pods long and slender. The juice is a
thick yellow fluid. It is not likely this
plant will prove troublesome where thor-
ough cultivation is carried on.
HYPERic.acE.is (St. J ohn's-'wort Family).
The only plant in this family that may
be classed as a weed is:
Hypericum perforatum (St. John's -wort).
This has a shrubbery appearance, and is
about 13. feet high. It is very common
along the, railway
track, where its yel-
low flowers present
an attractive appear-
ance. In some places
it becomes a nuisance,
and. as rhe root is
-re. et perennial, it is not
easily destroyed. But
where the land is
thoroughly wprked it
is not troublesome.
The spatted appearance of the leaves, es-
pecially when held between the observer
and the light, together with the innumer-
able etamens in its yellow flowers, serve to
distinguish it from other flowers of the
same calor.
CARY0aHYLLACE.aa (Pink Family).
Herbs, af which the stems are somewhat
enlarged at the joints ; leaves mostly- oppo-
site and entire; flowers terminal, consist-
ing of four or five parts. Some very beau-
tiEui flowers are found in this group, such
as the Pinks, Carnations, Soapworts and.
Sweet William.

The answer may be found in the fact that

be, _other things being equal. The most
auccessful dairies at the present time are
those which aro conducted by thinking men
and women -those who apply all the know-
ledge within their power to the practical
part of their- work. Not only in dairy edu-
cation, but in all educational work, among
those who must earn their daily bread, the
demand is for something practical -some-
thing that will help to acquire the neces-
saries, and possibly some of the luxuries of
life. The chief end in acquiring dairy edu-
cation should be to apply the principles of
dairying to practical every -day work, and
thereby make profit; and at the same time
there will be a pleasure about it which can-
not be attained otherwise. -Prof. Dean, 0.
A.C., Guelph.
A beautiful flower, but, in the wheat field.
it has lost its attractiveness, and is consid-
ered. a pest. Its
seeds are not so read-
ily got rid of in clean-
ing the wheat as
some, so that it in-
jures__ the quality of
the flour. The plaht
has a grayish look ; is
about 2 to 3 feet high,
and bears beautiful
violet -purple flowers.
The seeds are black
and irregular in form.
Tire bright flowers
make it readily seen,
so that it can be pulled before seeding, and
being an annual, be checked in its distribu-
tion.
Silene inflate (Bladder Campion. Fre. 14.
This plant bears a white flower; the
calyx or outside floral cup is quite 'veiny
and bladder -like in_ appearance. The pistil
has three styles, whiie the cocklee have
five. It is a perennial, and in some parts
quite common, but is not difficult to sup-
press by clean cultivation.
Lychnis vespertine (White Cockle).
This weed has a white flower, which, in
general appearance, resembles the Cockle ;
but an examination ot the flowers shows
there are two kinds -those on oiae plant
being all staminate, those on another pis-
tillate, that is, each plant bearing one set
of reproductive organs. This biennial plant
is getting more common of late, but is not
difficult to get rid of where thorough culti-
vation is practiced.
Cerastium arvense (Field Chickweed).
This weed is usually found in dry fields,
and is sometimes very common ; leaves
hairy arid small; white flowers, with five -
notched petals twice as long as the sepals;
the stems are also hairy. Not a trouble-
some weed.
Stellaria media (Chickweed).
Edging Plants.
am often asked to give a list of good
edging plants, by those who desire to have
a , few beds on the lawn. Below I name
and give a brief description of a few that
1 have found well adapted for this purpose.
It will be necessary to. order them at the
time the plants with which the ceuter of
the bed is filled are ordered. They cannot
be grown from seed and Made effective.
Alteranthera. Often 'celled "Rainbow"
plant, because of its varied and brillient
colors. It is of easy culture. Plants
should be set about six. inches apart.
Achyranthes. One of the best because
of its vivid crimson color. Should be
treated like Alteranthera.
Golden Pyrethrum, or Golden Feather,
as popularly known. A good yellow. Ex-
cellent for massingwhere this color is
wanted: Not surpassed, I think, by
Cokes Yellow Bird, which is the only
other plant of this color which compares
with it.
Coleus Verschaffeltii. 0.ne of the first
varieties of this plant to come into popu-
larity, and still one of the best, if not the
best, where a dark crimson or maroon is
wanted.
Geranium Madame Salleroi. If I could
have but one plant for edging a bed, it
should be this. It grows only eight or ten
inches high, forms a compact, rounded
mass of foliage and retains this form all
through the season without any attention
in the way of elite age. Its foliage is a
light greet', edged with white, and a row
of it, is very pies- a.g in connection with
other plants, beea of contrast in color.
All rile other ,t,IttoS haying a white
variegation are anaarative failures for
bedding- list', 1/::t is perfection in every
way. .Anuing _e-iug plants of a habit of
growth suitable Lids purpose, I consider
the
Dwarf Ageratum one of the best, because•
of its thielt, low, con -pact form. Its layen-
der-blue flowers are borne in such profuedon
that thy -almost corer the plant, and by
them we get a color for pattern or ribbon
work that we can get from no other plant.
Sweet Alyssum is useful for small bloom,
if kept properlt clipped.
order to succeed satisfactorily with
any of these plants, they must be clipped
frequently to prevent them from taking on
a straggling or uneven form. Clipping not
_only keeps thern in shape, but causes them
to become thick and compaet, because it
forces them to throw out Many more
branches front the base or lower branches
of the plant than they would be likely to
do if not cut back. One of the chief
beauties of these plants, when used as
edging, consists in their neat, trim appear-
ance. The Coleus is the rankest, grower of
all named, but plants should not be set,
more than eight inches apart.. Mignonette
is not only pretty for edging bects of
annuals wheFe a formal effect is not cared
for, but it, is so fragrant, and so useful for
cutting that I prefer it to anything else for
this purpose, in this part of the garden. -

look in her eyes, "but he is thinking some-
thing of getting a position as life companion

Bangle took to the theatre so much? I be-

-" Fine morning," said the baker to the
butcher, "beau taking a walk?" " Yes ;
just came from your shop with half a dozen
loaves of bread. " Where are they, then?"
"Under my kat. Plenty of room for them
there." The baker did not forget this insult
and-avheri the butcher next met him on the
street and asked him where he had been, he
promptly answered, "Been to your ter -house; bought a calf's head." "Where
is it, then ?" " Under my hat," he retort-
ed, and walked away, triumphant, as he
thought.

curately, but I don't think the sun is near
enough to interfere with a proper perform-
ance of my duties if I get the clerkship."
He got it.
The stern of this annual is weak and
spreading, with a line of hairs ; leaves
somewhat oval and many small star -like
white flowers, and is generally found grow-
ing on damp ground. It is quite hardy,
bue is readily checked by under -draining
and frequent cultivation.

A -strong, coarse plant in the Picric 'fa-mi-
lv ; flowere somewhat pinkish, clustered
itt corymbs ; leaves ribbed, 2-3 inches
iong ; lower ovate ; upper more tapering ;
stem 1-2 feet. Beitig a perennial and vigor-
ous grower, this weed spreads rapidly. it
is very common by the road -ides, Lundv'e
Lane, Niagara, and otherpartei of Ontario.
It does not _ appear ao -invade cultivated

- Liquid Manure.
In making liquid manure to apply to
plants in the garden, there is little danger
of getting it .too strong when made from
common stable -manure. A half bushel of,
manure, soaked over night; or longer, in a
40 -gallon cask of water, will be about right.
Fill up the cask with water, and use this
the following day. Poultry. manure is
stronger then stable manure, and a less
quantity will answer, say one peck to 40
gallons ot water. Stable manure • will lose
• much -of its strength, if left out and expos-
ed to rains; in fact, if left long enough, it
will all be washed away, or, at least, all of
its soluble parts. The older and more
thoroughly decomposed, if kept under cov-
er, the more quickly does it act as.a nutri-
ment to plants. But moisture is necessary
in its decomposition ; consequently, it must
not be allowed to become thoroughly dried
when under cover, but just enough water
added to keep the mass moist and prevent
a too high temperature during fermenta
tion.

STRONCEST,

Advantages of Wide -Tired Wheels.
We have had an object lesson on the ad-
-vantages of wide -tired wagon wheels. When
the East Jersy Water Co. were laying water
pipes, a lame number of them were carted
through the main street of our village. The
street is macedamized, and, owing to imper-
fect drainage, had to be. repaired. •, This
left considerable loose stone (broken trap
rock) on the surface. Now the large and
very heavy trucks upon which the pipes
were carted had very wide tires, and it, was
a surprise to see that, instead of rutting, or
in the least, injuring the road, as they cer-
tainly wodd have done if the tires had been
narrow, they actually improred the condi-
tion of the road, and left it as smooth as a
floor. It is a great pity that something
cannot be done In induce the owners of
heavy ,wagons and trucks to have wider
tires upon their wheels. -American Agri-
culturist.
Poultry Manure.
Poultry manure is worthless unless it is
composted when fresh, owing to a large
portion becoming hard and insoluble silicates
being formed. It rarely contains over 2
per cent. of nitrogen or phosphoric _acid,
and less than 1 per cent. of potash. Col-
lected daily, however, and mixed with dry
dirt and plaster, the mass being kept moist
with soapsuds, it will be in a more avail-
able form for plant food than if kept dry.

young men,of 20. They both came from In-
diana where their parents reside, leaving
home about two weeks ago to visit Niagara
Falls, where they remained until their mopey
had all been spent. Not wishing to let
their people know the positioathey were in
they decided to beat their way as far as De-
troit on the train. They succeeded in reach-
ing Hamilton and boarded, early on S4ur-
day morning, a train as they supposed bonnd
for Windsor, but which landed them two
hours later in Toronto. Neither of them
had had anything to eat for nearly three
days, as they would not beg. All day
urday they loitered about the Union Sta-
tion, iopefuI that they might catch a west
- bounei train. Night came on and found
them • almost famished, and so tired that
they felt like dropping down beside the rails
to sleep. As they walked along the track
they noticed a hotel at the foot of Tecumseh
street, and decide 3 to go there, tell their
story, and see if the proprietor would not
give them something to eat and a night's
lodging. As they proceeded on their way
Clarke's foot caught in a frog of a switch
and at that -moment the sound of an ap-
proaching train was heard. The twolmen
were almost frantic and very weak. They
could notxtrica,te the foot and Atwood, in
his excitement, fell against the frame of the
switch and cut his face. The other poor fel-
low was run over and mangled to de.ath.
