A HINT TO FARMERS.

In passing about the country in various direc-
tions, we regret to see so much Indifference, on
the part of farmers, to the introduction and
spread of foul and noxious plants. We have seen
in one place in the best land on farm, and near
the persons residence. near quarter of acre
of dock, going to seed, producing enough to scat
ter over a large farm. This is only a specimen

places, and far beyond any profitable use.

year, for several years in succession, where the
fences are we'll kept up, and there other evil
dences of good farming, but hisHes are permitted
to grow and increase.
Perhaps there is not so much danger from any
plants of native growth, from those whose seeds
are introduced from abroad in oats, wheat, &C.,
used here for seed. And especially the Canada
thistle noticed i'll the paragraph below. Some of the
Northern States have laws to prevent its going to
seed on any mans land. It spreads with rapidly,
strikes its roots very deep. and it is almost inn
possible for any grain to grow where it spreads.
1t is difficult to eradicate. One who has seen it
can better understand the danger of it than one
who has not On this subject. we'll many
others, ian ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure"
Mr.. j. w. Phillips, writing to the Prairie Far
mer, states that in the summer Of 1868 Mr. A. NJ.
Switzer, of Washington, Illinois. discovered the
Canada thistle growing on his farm. Although
he went to work vigorously hoeing and spadng
them up by the roots they came up again the fol-
lowing spring. They were, however, often and
thoroughly dug up for the second season. which
completely annihilated them. There may be a
particular time in the season in which, if these
thistles dug up by the roots it will kill them;
but the only way be of that time is to keep
