etc. are used to destroy every p ant except
particular one we wish should have full pos

Canada thistles in his lawn, cuts the stems
and puts some salt on elch, and thus destroy
them, it is an exception to the general rule.
Had he put an equal amount of salt over his
lawn, he would have killed everything upon
it. We have but little sympathy with gar
dener who lets weeds get the better of him.
His soil should have been so constantly stirred
that weeds could have no chance. Whoever
is not able to keep down the weeds by the
use OF the rake, or of the many wedding hoes,
has more garden than he can properly care
for. Jfweeds have got the mastery. use some
of the various wedding hoes, rake them at
once from the ground, and if there is a sign
of flower or seed upon them, do not let them

A NoRTHKR IN TExAs-We complain much
of the sudden changes in our climate. But
even the sunny South is not exempt from
these vicissitudes. The following description
of the March storm which destroyed from one
half to two-thirds of the lambs and many of the
old sheep in TIE as, we copy from letter by
B. l. Crouch, of Circlevilie, Texas, 10 Or.
Boynton, of Woodstock, VT, and published
in the Mirror 0ns' Farmer
The first of March was perhaps as pleasant
day as you evei experienced In Vermont in
May the prairies, as green as meadows in
June, and all presenting beautiful appear
ance generally. The weather continued or
dinarily favorable until the 10Th, at which
time a severe norther set in, and on the
morning of the 18th the ground was frozen
quite solid and the grass covered with sleet
an inch in thickness. The storm continued
to Increase in severity during the 18th, l4th,
and at 8 A. NJ, on the 18TH the ice and
snow was fully two inches in thickness over
the prairies.

Varnish for Shoes.

1t is bad plan to grease the upper leatb-
er of shoes for the puspose of keeping them
soft: it rots the leather, and admits the damp
ness readily. 1t is better to make yarnlsh
thus:
Put half pound Of shellac, broken up in
small pieces. in quart bottle or jug, cover
it with alcohol, cork it tight and put it on a
shelf in warm place; shake it we'll several
times day, then add piece of camphor, as
large as hens egg; shake it well, and in
few hours shake it again and add one ounce
Of lamp,black; if the alcohol be good it will
all be dissolved in three days, then shake and
use. II it gets too thick add alcohol, pour
out two or three spoonfuls in saucer,
and apply it with small paint brush. If
the material is all good it will dry in FIVE
minutes; and it will be removed only by
wearing it off, giving it gloss equal to pat>
ent leather.
The advantage Of this preparation above
Others is, it does not strike into leather and
make it ha,d, but remains on the surface,
and vet excludes the water almost perfectly.
The same preparation is admirable for
harness, and does not soil when toched as
lamptlack preparations do.-HoVs Journal
