Agricultural.


The editor, l take it, gives some ex-
cellens thoughts on the subject of erad,-
eating weeds. Every body knows the
more weeds the farmer permits to seed,
the more weeds he will have to DESTROY
next year. The remedy recommended
is good-"Let him contract his limits,
and aim at thorough management" Far
mers often undertake too much All
the profit in farming comes off tina, part
of it ,ha. is well done. Slovenly farm
ing may make hog and hominy to raise
children on, but will not educate them.
The remedy proposed is good, ut
least, in part. He says the ssythe, hoe.
pillow and culsivator, were invented part
ly for the destruction Of weeds; 10 this
catalogue should have been added the
harrow. Weeds can be destroyed when
small, with harrow or cul,iva,or. one hun.
dred times faster, a. the right time, than
with any other implement. AT the RICH,
time, says one, that is the rub. can.
no, do every thing when would. Well,
what is tie reason? Are you lazy?-
No. Well then, make your farm less;
rent some Of it out. or throw it away; do
anything with i. ra'her than spoil all
your 6ne farming BY trying to cultivate
ii all. Then you can get at all your
weeds at the right time, when young,
with harrow and cul,iva,or; then you
will be able TO keep your land (corn es-
pecially,) clean, and do i. comparatively
easy.
We keep down weeds in corn in this
way:-break up twenty acres; (do not
harrow then furrow of, plant, and SO
on. until all is planted. AS soon rs IN,
corn is well up, put the two horse har-
row on, weight il down well i! il IS no,
heavy enough; take out the front tooth,
sraddle the row. All the clods dashed
to pieces, all the holes filed, al the frs,
crop Of weeds the breaking did no, kill,
will be; and little loose earth sprnkled
to the small corn. your ground will he
clean, thoroughly clean, If done we'll.
As soon as another crop Of weeds

CERT may happen to rain-lhen you
may have TO wal, until they ge, to be TOO
large go through j, with heavy cult
va,or, twice in row, the right hand
tooth held in well, and close to the corn.
Your corn IS now half leg high. and you
will call it perfectly clean. Anybody
can kcep i. clean from this out. Our
way is then 10 put The Bulliongue to the
corn, and culiira,or in the middles, and
at the proper time lay it by with the
