FARM NUISANCES.

Mr.. EDITOR: The last article wrote
for your excellent paper was on the sub
ject of ornamenting streets-the sub
stance of which l had furnished for the
Michigan Farmer, and not seeing it in
that paper furnished it in varied form
for the Ne,cs. And not having seen it
in that sheet have concluded it was con-
sidered nuisance to the Press. So
thought of writing short chapter on
Farm Nuisances, and, if il is treated as
the interests of the farmers in the Grand
River Valley require, it may do little
good, if not more.
The nuisances 10 which l refer are the
Yellow Dock and the Milkweed. The
Dock has long been the bane of the farm
er in many localities in this State. But
the Milkweed is comparatively a new pest.
True, it has been seen in small quantities,
In some places, for several years; but IT
has not attracted much attention until OF
late, and many farmers are ignorant of
the best method Of subduing them. Plow-
ing and hoeing only cultivate them and
cause them to spread. And when they
become thick in fields of English Grain,
or Hay, they are sure to injuro the crop
to very great extent, and they will
crowd the cattle out of pasture sooner
than a bed of Canada Thistles.
The remedy best calculated to insure
their speedy destruction is pulling them
up after they begin to blossom, and be-
fore the pods attain 10 their full size. BY
this means they may be entirely destroy
cd in two or three years.
The Dock may be destroyed by cutting
it with sharp hoe, little below the sur
face of the ground, just before the seed
is sufficiently matured TO grow. Farmers
who consult their own interest will lose
no time in attending to these nuisances
of the farm.

Turnips----The Last Chance.

1t is one of the excellencies of the tur-
nip that it is always in order, from May
to September. We have sowed turnips
as late as the lst of the latter month, and
got well paid for the labor. Any spare
patch of ground, where other crops have
failed, or have been removed, may be
turned to good account by sowing turnip
seed. Turnips come in, as n substitute,
for many other crops, and a smart farmer
may even now make up deficiency in
hay or grain, by the aid Of turnips. And
it is worthy of notice, that dry Summers,
which pinch those crops, are usually fol-
lowed by wet Autumns, which are very
favorable to turnips. There is special
reason for making the most of this crop
the present season.
The demand for grain and breadstuffs
is likely to be unusually large. Not to
speak of the foreign market, there will
be great demand at home. The opera
tions of the war must have diminished
the product of grains somewhat in the
North, and still more in the South. With
all the efforts of the Confederate Govern
ment to secure an increased supply of
breadstuffs, at home, it is not likely that
the South will produce as much grain as
usual. Every plantation has felt the ex-
citement of the times, and it is impossl-
bic, under such circumstances, to get the
usual amount of labor from slaves. Our
advancing armies have found destitution
in many places, and there is, doubtless,
much moro that has not been heard Of.
There can not fail to be a very great de-
mand for provisions in tho Southern
States, as soon as they are thrown open
again to commerce. 1t becomes us, then,
to make the most of the season that is
left us, in raising all tho turnips we can.
The hay crop is short in many parts Of
the North, and turnips will save hay.
They will also save grain in feeding pigs,
sheep, horses, and cattle. They will
make mutton and wool, beef and pork.
The White French, and the Sweet
German, or Rock Turnip, may be trans
planted still. They will grow as readily
as cabbage, and make fine crop. There
are yet hundred days before the frosts
will injuro them. A little bone-dust, or
suporphosphate, will give them start.
For broadcast sowing, in the corn and
potato fields, the strap-leaf, cowhorn va
.rieties are excellent. We have grown
them at cost of four cents a bushel, and
at this price they are cheap feed for all
stock that relish them. Improve all the
waste patches in tho field and garden
with sprinkling of turnip seed.-Agri-
cMtmiSt, August.

A Singular Young Rebel Woman.

AS we were passing along the street
two days ago, in our usual quiet way,
musing upon the storms of state" and
pondering upon our solemn responsibility
in this great crisis Of the affairs Of the
nation and of mankind, q very pretty
young woman, whom we had understood
to be fiery little rebel and even terri
bic villifcr Of the Louisville Journal, was
about TO meet us, when, turning off from
the sidewalk, she protruded her red lips
at us boldly and defiantly. 40, certain
ly we will if you want us to very bad,
though indeed this is rather too public
place." said We with our accustomed suav-
ity, advancing toward her with our lips
correspondingly protruded, when, to our
no little disappointment and surprise, she
started and ran away from us as if We
had been some ugly old fellow of forty.
Now if that coquettish young creature
really presumed that we, occupying tho
position that we do, could consent, for
the sake Of kiss, to pursue her at full
speed through the streets Of large city
like this, in broad daylight, she was nev-
or moro mistaken in her life. We as
kcenly appreciate kiss, that nectared
sweetness, that .double-mouthed rapture,
that scarlet ecstacy, that blazing contact
of mated hearts meeting upon the lips,
that sudden bursting forth of two souls
into a single blossom, as any other enthu-
siastic young man on earth, but, at the
same time, wo have a pride, n dignity,
selfrespect, and even q regard for the
worlds conventionalitics," that we wo'd
not sacrifice for all tho kisses that ever
thrilled and bewitched the sleeping visions
and waking dreams of youth and beauty
and loveliness and love.
Now we tell that young rebel that sho
asks for kiss in the wrong way, that
she asks for it at the wrong place and time,
and that she does not seem to know how
to behave after she has asked it. We
have no disposition TO say more, and even
our high regard for almighty crinoline
could not induce us to say lcss,-Loms-

The London Exhibition----Awards to
American Exhibitors.

The communication Of our London cor
respondent, Mr.. Holmes, on another page,
contains very full and interesting ac-
count of the awards of first and second
class prizes TO American exhibitors at tho
Worlds Fair. We feel highly gratifed
with the success which has attended the
efforts Of our inventors. In proportion
to their numbers their productions excel
led those of all other countries under sim
liar classes. and particularly so in mech
anlsm. II is an unquestionable fact that
in labor-saving machinery moro progress
has been made in America, during the
past quarter of century, than in any
other country, and this has been felt and
acknowledged by British mechanics, and
to an unlooked-for extent by the English
press. 1t is also gratifying to learn, as
stated by our correspondent, that num-
Der of our exhibitors have been success
ful in n pecuniary sense in disposing of
their patented inventions to good adyan-
tage. They have thus opened up new
avenues of trade in Europe TO other
American inventors who may profit by
their example.
The Superintendent of Machinery, d.
X. Clark, @. E., an inventor and author
Of the well-known work "Clark's Rail
way Machinery" paid the American ex-
hibitUs extraordinary attention. IL ap-
pears to us that the troubles of our coun-
try led the authorities connected with the
Exhibition TO treat our exhibitors with
moro favor than they would have done
under other circumstances, for it was dis
tinctly stated, at the outset, that no
awards would be made TO any country
which refused to appointa Commissioner.
This rule was waived in favor of Ameri-
can exhibitors, and no distinction has been
made between them and the English
themselves. Undoubtedly this courtesy
and kindness were due chiefly TO the el-
forts and influence of our correspondent,
Mr.. Holmes, who has arduously devoted
his time and energies to the cause. Ho
stated TO the Royal Commissioners that
the American exhibitors who had forward
ed articles to the Worlds Fair did so in
good faith that their Government would
appoint Commissioner, and upon this
candid statement department was allot-
ted for their products, and every proper
consideration extended them, although no
Commissioner was appointed by our Gov
ernment. Thus, out of ninety eight ac-
tual exhibitors, no less than eighty re-
ceived awards; but out of thirty-two ex-
hibtors of machinery in general, no less
than twenty-eight secured prizes. Never
before have SO many laurels been won in
any industrial contest by a proportional
number of candidates. 1t was perhaps
fortunate that the majority of these in
venlious had been illustrated and describ-
ed in the columns of the Scientific Amer-
ican, and that a knowledge of their mer-
its had thus been previously disseminated
among European mechanics and mauufac-
turers.
1t affords us much pleasure to state
that the British Commissioners and the
Juries have treated our exhibitors with
marked kindness.-Scientifc american,

A BIC FALL.-The New York IriJ-
,ne tells of an eight-year-old boy, who
leaped from fifth story window. The
boy had stepmother of but two months,
but who abused him, aud. the boy twice
ran away 10 the house of friend with
whom he lived during the widowhood of
bis father, but on being brought back
each time, was numerically fogged by
the father. On being brought back a
third time, and when about to receive an
other hogging, he threw himself from the
window on the fifth story.
In his descent he caught the clothes
line, which was stretched across the yard,
from the second story. On the instant
he was observed by an old woman, at
that moment engaged in carrying some
crockery from the table TO the pantry,
She threw her brittle freight to the floor.
ran to the window, caught the line, then
caught the boy, and rescued him from
what seemed certain death. Upon being
taken in at the second story window, the
painting fugitive crawled under bed, and
for some time could not be persuaded TO
come out, for fear of his fathers unmer-
ciful hands.
