Destruction Of Weeds.

The following short article is from the
Working Fdr~sr, aud j. entitled to more
than passing notice.. In many parts the
country, farms have become oyerrun with
weeds, from the neglect of the proprictors
to attend to tho timely suggestions below,
and wo find many iarms in all parts OF the
country, in like condition from the same
cause
"There is no season Of the year while
vegetation is in progress Of development,
where time and capital may not be proG,ab
ly employed in the destruction of weeds
AL weeds Of an indigenous character, are
gross feeders; they require lar Eorc valu.
able kinds Of cultivated plants, and cOnse.
qusntly, are FAR more injurious and exhaust.
ing to the soil. Even alter the crors Of
RIOTS and grains are removed from the fields,
The warfare against them should be vigor.
ously prosecuted, and every vestiee Of spur
ious vegetation which has found footing in
the soil, be destroyed. Farmers sometimes
manifest great care and industry in wedding
their fields and gardens, but by strange
remissness, neglect to keep down the weeds
which take root in their yards, and beside
their feneSs. As these do not sub,rac,
directly from the productive resources oI
their cultivated grounds, they are regarded
as harmless but every weed, wherever 1,
grows, natures seeds, aud these seeds,
waited by the winds Of autumn, will BE-
disseminated broadcast over those very lands
which it has required so much patient in
dustry, and so many hours of laboriou
egIh to cleanse and protect from their pol-
lutins influence. Every weed, no matte
where ii may exist, should be destroyed be
fore maturingits seeds"
