The maxim that cone years seeding
makes twenty years wedding" is too lit
tie needed, not only by farmers, but by
other people. Look at the rapid increase
Of pernicious plants in this section, which
has but lately been opened to their growth.
How many meadows or pastures do we see
where the occupancy of the ground is not
strongly contested by thistle and docks,
the growth of good heritage being thereby
greatly lessened? And even IN the many
gardens along the streets of the town, the
same vile things, with rank growing bur-
docks, and various other species of weeds,
constitute the most conspicuous vegeta-
ton.
Farmers are frequently heard to express
some alarm lest the ox-eye daisy, or the
corn-poppy, or some other weed not yet in
troduced here should make its appearance
on their lands, and yet they look with in
difference on an abundant and increasing
growth of much more injurious plants The
dock is one of the worst of these. Its
roots run deep in the soil, on which it
draws largely for moisture and other ele-
ments of its support. 1t forms seed early
in the season, and its hard, woody stalks
are not only worthless as food for animals,
but they interfere in the handling of hay
and grain, and occupy room in the barn or
stack which is needed for valuable articles.
The seed fall to the ground, terminates,
and the consequent increase of the
plants smothers down and destroys the
grass or grain which it was intended should
grow.
II. these plants cannot, be at, once de-
stroyedl by digging them up or cutting
them so low in the ground that they will
not start again, they should at all events
be prevented from going to seed. This
can be done by cutting them close to the
ground as often as they bloom. Two or
three times a year will answer the purpose.
Let this practice be strictly followed for
several years, and the roots of the plants
will die, and there beingIno seed no more
will grow.
Laws have been passed in some States,
obliging all railroad companies to keep
thistles and other weeds from going to seed
on the borders of the roads, and also oblig
ing the overseers of highways to adopt
similar measures. The attention of the
Legislature of this State will probably be
called to this subject at the earliest practi-
cable day. In the mean time, if the NUM-
cipal authorities of the capital should
cause an example to be made here the
improvement would be SO striking that it
might be generally followed. --Lansing Re
