LOOK TO YOUR MEADOW.

Il is an undeniable fact that a vcry
large proportion Of our meadow land is not
as productive as it should be and this par.
tial slerility is attributable mainly to the
want Of proper attention to this important
part Of the farm. There are few meadows
which DO not boast greater or less guam
tity Of useless and pernicious weeds. To
get rid Of these pests, should be primary
object with the farmer, as they not only
occupy the places Of useful and profitable
grasses, but materially affect the value Of
hay or pasturagc. This most desirable
object may he cffetually accomplished first
by ths thorough drainage Of such meadows
are to wet. 1t is not the purpose of this
artica to state the particulars Of the drain
age process. Much Information on this
important subject has been presented in
cur columns, sgain and again. Second, e,
where meadows are infested with weeds
they should he regularly woeded, either
with the hoe, or the hand as may be most
advisable or eff ctual, Third, if meadows
are usea for pastures, as well as for now
ing, then there should be a careful aud ju-
dcous altcrna' o. Of these orera,ions,-
Under no circumstances should meadows

it is well to 'carify every part that will

The Beaver Dam 1ryns says: The rainy

ahead wonderfully, and flrtncrs who are not
troubled with insects are confident OF ob-
timing half q crop. In several localities
hereabonts, the chiutz bugs are destroying
the wheat alarmlnsly. IN some Instances
the ground is completely covered with them,
and some fields are entirely destroyed and
will be plowed up and soWn with turnips.
The Watertown Democrat says the farmers
in the vicinity are pretty generally complain

The Oshkosh Courier says the rain has

The Secretary Of the Treasury and

New York, July 15.-The Commemorate
money article says Mr. Fessenden has ex-
pressed bimeclf favorable towards an expedi-
ent suggested b. the banks for avoiding the
Inconvenience Of paying subscriptions to the

shall endorse, n.CC:5lc 6: the banEs Or at
some Che designated bank acting in behalf

The banks hope that such checks wonld
.eeldom be presented to be cashed, although
thef would be subject to payment in green
hacks on presentation, and that In most
cates they would be simply deposited with
out disturbing their funds.
