Destroy Your Weeds,

1t is curious sight to see farmers fight
ing weeds all through the spring and sum-
mer and then letting all that escape 60 to
seed and stread their mischief throughout
the fall Look at any of orr cernfietds and
later patches in September, and 10, what
a choice assortment Of big weeds, beesar-
lice, and other of the weed tribe, fal1nt fheir
soed-pods to the breeze, ready for ans a.
mount of mischief in the spring
Even our gardens, wherein, if anywhere.
an ounce Of prevention is worth pound of
cure, are usually left to mature a wilderness
of weeds every season and not blow struck
to remedy the matter, when blows would be
worth striking. 1t is true some very pru-
dent proprietor may spend an hour or two
pulling up docks or burdocks, but instead
of DISCRIMINATING them by fire and faggot.
he throws them into the highway. where
hoof and heel thresh them out, and the first
wind Or rain is sure to scatter them broad
cast over all the region round and 50 next
year he has all his work to do over ara5saa.
Now, we hold that no good farmer or gar
dener will ever let weed 90 to seed in his
domain. Have them out hoe them out
out with them at any cost The barnyard
and muck heap will be glad of them and
when secured green. they are worth their
weight in any kind of manure, hardly en-
ceptng guano, But when the seeds are
ripe. then nothing but fire should be their
portion.
There is an old story of a race of beings
who were doomed as a punishment, to pour
water in sieve until it should be full. Let
each farmer see to it that the sieve through
which daily meal comes has no tares in its
bottom life Illustrated,

phe Chinch Bug is said to be playing
havoc With the growing corn in the western

informs us that the roads in his neighbor-

but for the seasohablb weather, which causes

A suggestion has been made by an intelli-
gent farmer, IL the Southern Planter, that
if barn-yard fowls were permitted to traverse
the fields, they would soon destroy the chinch
bug, which, of late years, has become such

Interesting Gunporcler E.rperimem.-The

very useful and able weekly, published in
New York;
In his seventh lecture, at the Smithsonian
Institute, Br. Reid described the failure of
sn. Intending incendiary to do great act of
mischief by the very means he adopted to
make his success more certain. Thus, to en-
sure an explosion Of gunpowder in certain
case, the fellow had covered it with guam
tity of spirits of turpentine, but on igniting
it only the Snrpentine burnt and the powder
1or,tinred az before. The philosophy of this
the lecturer showed, by striking expert
ment. wherein, again and again, turpentine
poured on quantity of gunpowder. was
ignited and burned out, and the powder re-
ria..neC inburnt,. This was explained on fae
principle Of the candle, that the gunpowder
acts as wick to the turpentine, and will
not itself ignite so long as any of the turpen-
tine remains to burn. A piece of common
cotton cloth, such as ladies' dresses are
made of, was then burnt and tiien a piece
Of similar texture Which had been dipped
in solution of salammoniac. was exposed
to the action of fire, but would not burn
A similar piece, STEPPED in a solution Of sill

The C3USes of Dear Reef.

The graziers and droyers have been
blamed for combining to keep up the prices
OF beef and forming monopolcs "a Gra-
zler, IN the Germantown telegraph. who
feels that both sides should be heard defends
his brethren from these charges, and saws
the simple truth is, that the consumption of
beef in this country is gradually becoming
greater than its capacities ofsupply, and that
it is the same case in France and England.
He asserts that the graziers make no more
profit at present from cattle than they did
several years since, if we consider the en-
HANGED value of everything they themselves
have T. purchase, for they now procure cat
tie from the drover at an advance Of 80 per
cent. over what they did; and he in turn from
the scarcity and value of cattle everywhere
Is compelled to purchase of the breeder at the
same increased price. The true remedy then
suggests itself. which is, to be less wastcful
in the consumption of beef than we have
Hitherto been, and to cease the slaughter of
our calves. 'Grazier' contends that, with the
wide domain still possessed in each of our
States for pasturage the rearing of cattle
should be a portion ofevery farmers business
large and small, and that system of Judi
cious pasturage will nurture his soil, and in
crease It's powers of production beyond any
other means he can adopt. His advice is "to
keep our calves and raise them, and let the
butchers do without veaff for their city friends,
while, IN the meantime, we mag permit the
laws of trade to regulate matter which they
always have done and always will do =
There appears much force in these remaks.
and as the subject is one that largely interests
the community, we should like to hear a
more feasible plan for obtaining cheap beef
