How to Destroy Burdock and othe1
Stout Weeds.

[ have met, "going tina rounds, J" a tiresome
and laborious method of destroying those large
weeds that are so apt to infest our lands, en-
bracing the old practice Of heaping earth upon
them to rot them out cutting them at the wax
or wane of the moon, etc., and / may do the
State some good by warranting the following
simple, and indeed very pleasant practice to be
effectual in every instance in which it shall be
faithfully performed. 1t is merely to cut off
the crow of the root somewhat below the sur
face of the earth, so as to form cup and fill it
with handful of salt, the brine from which will
descend to the greatest extent ever reached by
the roots, and effectually destroy them in all
their ramifcations Who will not try it p

Farmers, Note This.

In cloudy morning, it is matter of i'm
portance to the farmer to know whether it will
be sunshine or showery in the afternoon If
the ants have cleared their holes nicely, and
piled the dirt up high, it seldoms fails to bring
a good day for the farmer, or even if it should
be cloudy until ten or eleven O'Clock in the fore
noon Spider-webs will be very numerous
about the tops of the grass and grain some
cloudy mornings, and fifty years observation
has shown the writer of this that these little
weather uessers seldom fail in their predictions
Of fair day.
