His cheeks flamed, he gave a burning glance and then with wrath and boiling with rage'"he ad ministered a scotching rebuke.” A word to the w'fe isn’t sufficient.

TH"' farmer who wants to eradic ate Johnson grass from his field will find that he has no easy task. The weed spreads both by seeds and by vigorous rc’ot-stocks, and once Established, persists stubbornly in cultivated fields. Tlte d fficulty in eradicating Johnson grass is in re moving all of its undergi’ound stems or rootstocks, small fragments of which may take root and grow into new plants. No one method of er.uli- eatii'.g this weed can be said to be •equally effective and practical under different farming conditions, but general principles of control are given in Farmers’ Bulletin 1537-F, just published by the United States Department of Agriculture. One way to control the grass is to cut it for hay before blossoming each time a new growth occurs. Another way is first to pasture it closely for two seasons, and then to plow shallow. Extra care should be usod in prepar- : ng the ground for the next crop and in its cultivations. Where conditions warrant the cost, especially in arid regions, Johnson grass can be killed by bare fallow; that is, by cultiva tion so persistent and thorough that green groovth above ground is pre vented. Careless tillage usually stim ulates the grass. Where conditions are favorable for its growth, alfalfa is helpful as a smother crop.

In attempting to eradicate Johnson p ra ss by any method^ three aims should be kept in mind: (1) to ex haust existing rootstocks and to pre vent the growth of new ones; (2) to kill new seedlings, and (3) to pre vent the ripening and scattering of seed. grains are desired. Cooked rice has a good many uses besides being served for dinner in place of potato or as a breakfast cereal. Put it in soups; combine it with baked and stewed dishes; use it in waffles, spoon bread, muffins, cookies, and even in sponge cake; use it in salads; make it into des serts, such as farmers’ pudding or custard rice pudding, or rice with stewed fruits or preserves. —x Anything being cooked for second time needs a hot oven. txt It is said that lobsters are disap pearing from the salt waters mear the U.
