though they would never dream of hurting thojr own friends never punish a child while you are angry you will almost certainly re- tret it later if you do for any barrier that is built between you and

ends russell knocked out over the young plants- over the top end the post says one should place a bit of gunny sacking i when that has been done it beats everything how the rhubarb comes romping along we am assured it out runs the regular process oy many days we fear the man on the lindsay post has become caught u n the spirit of the age which yearns for speed in all things we feel dsposod to lodge mild protest- the rhubarb season when it comes in the ordinary course of events is nor one of tliise touchandgo affairs it comes on and it keeps coming on and ir length of days it is very great indeed the season as the cost mail must know opens in an easy enough way first there is rhubarb stew then there is rhubarb pie leep pie or cov ered pie of the thinner sort then there is rhubarb tait tad rhubarb marmalade and rhubarb with pine apple and rhubarb with ginger and lemon the list is as long as the en tries for the homemade nightshirt contest at the fall fair that is the reason why we do not think the lindsay man should seek to make the rhubarb season arrive earlier than is its custom he will add days at one end which should not be there at all folk will begin to tire of rhubarb before the season has even begun to wane we are all against this artificial and unnecessary speed idea ve know of folk who when they hear the first toot from a robin will rush to their chamber and commence lifting off underwear which has been standing guard over spine and shank and hock at the same lime they remove the chest protector and lay aside the wristbands they have a yen for nste but at what a price when the spine is exposed to the wind it shivers and vhen the shanks are bereft of their etifing they rreal- the result is that the family doctor sits beside the bed and looks worried mustard plasters cover large sections of the framework aches camp upon the body and the brow becomes fevered all on account of haste the lindsay editor should take a long view of all such matters as seeking lo cause the rhubarb crop to make haste toward the day when it will give of its substance lo the nourishment of the human body he should stand firm for the course which nature prcfrs and lit- should rebuke those who are al ways scampering cbout seeking to find methods of having things done faster no great achievement is possible without persistent work bertram to teach agriculture quebec

elimination of weeds from their pro perties and their district if they will give more attention to the destruc tion of this menace to good crops- it was pointed out at a meeting of- agricultural men at essex recently while some farmers realize the ne cessity of destroying the weeds on their farms others are lax in this and render ineffective all the work that has been done the sow this tle and dodder are the enemies on which the farmer should wage war and the war will not be won unless all farmers do their utmost to pre vent the weeds from gaining a foot hold on their farms it is to their own advantage to do so for it means less work and better crops in the end testing their seed before sowing is one way of preventing the spread of weeds destroying the weeds as many times a year as it is necessary is another method tt is up to ev ery farmer to cooperate with the weed inspectors as far as possible and help make their land cleaner amhcrstburg kcho- aerial freight trains who knows but
