During the season of 1912 the Ontario Agricultural Experimental Union cerries1 on co-operative experiments in the eradication of Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Graes, Bladder Campion and Wild Mustard. A number of praetical men took part io thee experiments, and eome very iuteresting andvaluabie re - eta& were obtalued. A. properly culti. cater]. Crop of rape was found to be an excellent 'ineane of deetroying nial Sow Thistle and Twiteli Gras. Rape proved more effeetive in destroying Twitch Grass than did buckwheat. Thors ough and deep cultivation, followeu tee potatoes or corn, gave good results ht the control of Bladder Campion, Spraying with iron or copper sulphate proved to be a cheap and effective means of da. stroying mueterd in growin.g grain with. ont injury to the crop. Those who took part in these experiments profited by the experience. They cleaned the field experimented upon, demenstrated to their own satisfaetiod the effectiveoese of the method tried, and at the same time their results furnished practical information to others. These co-operative experiments in weed eradication will be eontinued tide year (1913h and it is hoped that a large nmnber of men will take part in them in order that sufficient data may be gath- eyed to warrant definite statements be. Ing made regarding the best methods of controlling these pernicious weeds, The experiments are as follows: THIS YEAR'S EXPERIMENTS. (1) The use of rape in the destruction of Perennial Sow Thistle. (2) A system of intensive cropping and cultivation, using winter rye follow. ed by turnips, rape or buckwheat, for eradicating Perennial Sow Thistle. (3) The use of rape in the destruction of Twiteh Grass. (4) A method of cultivation and crop. ping for the destruction of Twitth Grass. (5) A method for the eradication of Bladder Campion or Cow Bell. (6) Spraying with iron sulphur to de- stroy Mustard in ereal crops. Thoee who are troubled with any of these bad weeds are invited to write to the Director of Co -Operative Exper. iments in Weed Eradication, Ontario Agriculturel College, Guelph, Ontario, who will be glad to furnish full infor. mation concerning these experiments and to supply application blanks for the same. All experimenters will be supplied with fnll ami tieteiled instrections for carrying on the experiment selected, and with blank forrns on wldeli to renort the results of the same..

PREPARING THE GARDEN. - The planning of beds and borders ie always a problem to those who are not fully familiar with the relative sizes and ground -covering ability of the stock usually used for filling them If not familiar, consult a good eatalogue, which will give you the maximum height of all the plants usually grown from seed or cuttings, and offered by our best seed and plantemen, and use them when planting. Some persona are not able to restrain themselyee when planting, and plant too thickly. The young plants, when set, Beene to leave the beds and borders too attenuated, and they set them closer together, with the result that when fully matured they are over-erowded, and the blooms are not first-elass, an the beds look over done. Bedding plants, when fully matured, should just touch each other, If the cataloguers say they will grow to two feet in diameter, set the first one a foot from the edge, and the others two feet apart; the last one foot from the other edge. When such a bed is in full bloom it will look like a mass of perfectly grown fol- iage and flowers. This is the time to give the final touches to the herdy perennial and shrubbery borders. The mulching from the winter has been left on, but may now he dug into the soil, doing it shal- low so as not to injure the roots ;of the plants. It is a good time now to go over the roees, not to prune them regularly, as that was done before the epriug advanc- ed to warm weather, but to clean them up.

The late sir Francis Galton, the great scientist, made a special study of the subject and announced that, with some pant. of rtwins that has come under his notice the two seemed not so much two separate beings as one cut in two, each half feeling whatever affect the other, whether physically or .menta113 There is, for instance, a ease on rect rd in which two twins had at the age of 23 their first experience of toothache. The pain came to bothon the same day and the same tooth had to be extracted in each case. These twins were remarkably alike and very fond uf e agh other. They both obtained Government clerkships and kept house together. When one sickened and died of Brieht's disease the other fell a victitn of tbe same disease (which is not contagious) shortly after. That the physieal likness of twins ex- tends much deeper than the skin Is also shown by a, curious case that the med- ical papers were discussing eometinic ago. A Paris hospital doctor had under his charge a patient suffering from an attack of rheumatic ophthalmia. One day the patient remarked: "Mv twin brother must be having oph- lhaltnia just now." The doctor smiled at the idea, but next morning the patient handed him a letter from tho other twin. then at Vienna. It began with the words, "f am down Witb opUtbahnin. I supposp you have it too." Twins. reeearches show, are nearly al- ways either so alike that it is almost im- possible to tell tbe dirferenee between them or else very unlike one anether in- deed. Cases in which they are only mod- erately alate are comparatively rare, When they are very unlike each other (and when one is it boy and .the other a, zirl this praetieally always the case) the physipal unlikeness is accompanied by a similar mental one. When the • chnraeters of twins are not exaotlY the same they are exactly the 01m08lie to one another. One will be . . • ••• Alpine Climbing Less Dangerous. Climbing in the Alps is now a care- ful and exact science; it has reached its limit of perfeetion. Given expert- eneed guides and a "known" route, little harm can befall one, says the Wide .World Magazine. Guides now* adays are more highly skilled and pro- portionatly less willing to take risks than ever they were. They know in. stinctively when an avalanche will the sceed; they are able to gauge weather conditions; they know every inch of 1 their mountains. The toll of the Alps to -day is repre- sented by victims with prinelpally their Own fool-hardineee to Wattle. They are the "superior" elimbere who undertake expeditions without guides, who climb the most diffieult ascents by the most perilous routes, who en- deavor to cOnquer virgin peaks, and undertake similar risk. Ordinary elimbers can enjoy the Alps to -day with practically as little hazard or danger as is experienced by the motorist or yachtsman. But, like theta, they must "know their job," or else plate themselves unreservedly in the *d f thoee whO do. • Quick seif-contident and quick tempered but quick to forgive; the other is slow shy and a good tempered, but slow to for- give when aroused. Many nsir of twins, as every one knows. are difficulty or almost impossible to tell apart. en the ease of these strik- ing resemblances the similiarity of char- acter which accompanies it breaks out in curious ways. A. London newspaper re- cently drew attention to 'couple of Peckham twins named Evans who be- wilder the stranger by makincr the same remarks simultaneously and being hum- ming the same song at the same moment, There are lot of similar cases on re- cord: The theory that a curious telepathy ex- ists between twins, or, as scientists put It. that their minds are in duplicate, is borne out by the number ot twins who are in the habit of finishing one another's sentences. One of the most curious instances of this similarity of ideas among twins—one inquire into and authentieated by Sir Francis Galton himself—is that of a. matt who, travelling in Scotland, brought a set of champagne glasses which caught his attention as a surprise for his twin broth- er. while at the same time his brother was buying an exactly similar set as a surprise for the first twin. However, startling alike they may be -in face, ways and mind, the man who jtriows a nair of twins can readily verity - the curious fact that in one point of like- ness never holds. No twin for some inexplicable reason ever write alike. The family remedy for Coughs and Colds "Shiloh costs so little and does so much!' •-•-4 HARRIET TUBMAN. Negress Who Originated Undeeground Railway Dead. Harriet Tubman, once a slave, de- scribed by her biographer as the ,Moses of her peopleadied on Monday night at the Harriet Tubman Home for aged negroes at Auburn, N. Y. She , was regarded by many as one of the most remarkable women of this con- tinent. As nearly as the herself could tell she was between 95 and 100 years old, Pneumonia was the cause of her death. She was -written about and held in high esteem by such persons as Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Lloyd Garri- son, Horace Mann, Frederick Douglas, Gerrit Smith and Abraham Lincoln. Of pure gshantee blood, she was born in Dorchester county and at an early age gave indication of her hatred for slavery by attacking a plantation 'overseer who was on the point or thrashing one of his men and knock- ing him down. For this she received a blow from an iron weight which erushed her skull and left her a victim of somnolency for many years after. Harriet Tubman was one of the orig- inators of the underground railroad. warming air. They should be cut off up to the first un -injured bud, taking more if needed to retain the eymanetry of the bueb. Roses are very liable to heaving, and all should be examined for this., and it is well to tread. solid the soil about them to the distance of several feet as a precautionary measure. Do not prune at this time any of the spring -blooming shrubs, as they require pruning only just after they have ceas- ed blooming .They bloom on the wood grown during that portion of lest sea. son posterior to their blooming perioxo and if you prune them now you will cut off the buds from which the flowers come. Remember to do it just when blooming is over. The climbing vines evideh are hardy perennials, will by thie time be send- ing. out their shoots .They should be assisted upward, so that they will grow -straight up. This can be done by tying them with soft cord or raffia (et vege. table twine) from time to time. Make it a rule -to cut off the ends of such climbers as soon as they reach the height desired, in. order to make them branching, as thus you will get many more flowers and a greater epace will be eovered with their foliage. All such climbers, when grown to porches should be cut back to the floor each winter, and cut off when they rea,ch the roof. This, with good soil and cultivation will insure flowers from the floor to the roof on old vines. Do not be in a hurry to cut the graes. Roll it twice, and let the soil get well packed before cutting, and cut high for the first several times. Good care and close evatchfulnees will insure a fine garden and grounds. --Samuel Armeteong Hamilton in Woman's World for June. $ylvia Pankhurst has been released frbm prison by the usual route—a hunger strike, How long will this miser- oble farce be carried on? e *ea When Cleneral Booth started his self- tienial fund in 1886, a little over 44,000 was secured.

Station agents are to poet on beilletin boards information about obstructions to, traffic or about delays. The travelling publie, is to be told as much as possible about the railroad' eervice. This example of the Pennsyl• vania road is well worth following.

For every 100 acres of improved farm land in 1000 there were 115 acres in 1910; for every 100 acres devoted to crops in the former year there were 110 in the latter. That is, during the censua decade, the latest period for which offi- lcial statisties are available, the railway plant increased, at over double the rate of the agricultural pleat. For every 100 ton miles in 1000 there were 180 in 1910; for every l00 passenger miles there were 202, For every 100'' bushels, bales, or pounds of the ten prine:pal crops in the former year there were 109 in the lat. ter. That is, the output of the railway increased at a rate over ten times as great as that of the farms. try.... •- How much can it girl live on M Chi- cago? The State Vice Commission think that she will need $12 a week. But William C. Thorne, vice-president of Montgomery, Ward ‘36 Co., a inail order house, told the commission that a girl "adrift" can live on $8 a week, thus: Room rent, $3; breakfast (coffee anti rolls), 40c; luncheons, 90e; dinners. $1.40; car fare, 60c; clothing and in- cidentals, $1.70. The witness gave the foregoing state- ment to show that the commission's idea that there should be a minimum wage scale for women of $12 a week is too high. The figures given, he said, were the actual expenditures of one of his 1,973 female employees. Another girl employed disbursed her wages as fol- lows: Room and. board, $3.50; laundry, 20c; ear fare, 200; clothing and incidentals, $3.80; savings, 25c. This statement fails to account for a surplus of 5 cents, but this was not ei. plained, and Senator Beall remarked that the girl probably spent it frivol- ously. Many heads of Chieago depart- ment stores were examined, and the commission adjourned. One of the Commissioners stated that girl after girl had come before them. and sworn that low wages had driven them to a life ol vice. .3 1 1 BITS OF WIT. "I haven't seen Bangs for 'a long time.
