C. Erkenbeck manages to keep his farm clear
OF troublesome weeds by going three or four
times year to dig them mp. IL our neighbors

grass last season by summer following. He
never expects to be free from noxious weeds
as long as his neghbors allow them to grow.
G. B. Chaplin has worked in thstles as much
as all the men in the Club and don't believe
they can be killed. They can be summer fal-
lowed and kept down, but they will come again.
The larger they grow the easier they can be
killed by plowlng or moving. BY turning over
a June grass sod late the grass cannot be sub
dued. He considers June grass sod better
than sorrel and think it God-send to displace
the sorrel. good rotation is to turn over
sod for corn and summer fallow the corn stub

Subject Tor Dseussion--Des Destroying Noxious
Weeds.
The President thought the subject presented
was of much interest to the farmer. We can
raise no crops with weeds and no plan is better
10 subdue them than to summer faliow. The
earlier class Of weeds are destroyed by plowing
and the later ones by the after WORKING
Weeds sap the life of the plant We may
plow ever so nicely and plant ever 70 well, if
the weeds are not killed 1t is all in vain. We
know little OF the nature of the weeds that
spring up around US we need to study the ma
tlre of weeds more and be able to distinguish
between noxious and innocent kinds. Waste
places and weeds along the highway should be
cleared; corners Of fences should be moved
and an arrangement made with nelghbors to
keep all line fences clear OF noxious weeds.
4. Morrison.-We cannot raise crop with
out first subduing the weeds. Weeds are
springing up TO greater extent and OF greater
variety than ever before. The sur est way of
subduing them is by thorough course Of sum-
mer following and thinks it bad plan to NOW
first and then turn the sod over for wheat. The
June grass comes up Immediately and he would
almost as soon have fire in his wheat as June
grass. Rag weed seems to check the after
growth Of clover and thinks it would pay to
put on the mower and cut it down. June grass
may not be considered noxious weed but we
cannot raise a crop while it is growing. We are
not yet troubled with Canada thistles although
small patches are occasionally found. Far
mers should wake mp to the question while the
thing is in tho bud. Quack grass is making it's
appearance and is said TO be very destructive
| to growing crops. He advocates thoroughness
| in dealing with weeds.
| 4. ". Grier finds many weeds with which he
| is unacqrainted and wants to know the best
manner Of destroying them. He has been
acquainted with rag grass but knows Of no way
OF destroying it. lie practices pulling the
cookie from his wheat and is clear Of it now ;
has found some Canada thistles, dug them
caYfully and thus killed them has known this
ties TO be killed by plowing, but thinks it un-
certain. lie pulls mullens any time Of the
year he can get hold Of them has killed June
grass by cultivatipg 1t in corn. The Yellow
Dock is spreading, is bad weed, and should
not be allowed to go to seed. Qusck grass is
very bad on clay soils, but he thinks perhaps II
ia not as bad here, The safest way 10 to de-
stroy all weeds we do not know.

DETROIT MARKET.

DETROIT. March IS, 1871.
The amount OF wheat in store IN this city on
Monday was 157, ,615 bushels some 500 bushels
more than for Mach 6; Corn 80, 900, or 5000
less Oats $4,000. or 1000 more. The activity
Of last week which was encouraged by the sum-
merry weather, continues in some branches OF
trade though merchants were not generally pre-
pared with display of full stocks for custom
ors, and in fact, the fear of uncomfortable
changes to cold and wet has kept purchasers
from crowding the city, heavy ram storm has
been raging for twenty-four hours, with some
intermlssion, and the country roads must be
now In bad condition. There is more activity
in the flour and grain trade, and the demand
for choice grades OF -four are good. The desire
is, however, general not to pay above e7, though
some higher priced brands have been TAKEN
There is an Improvement IN the tone Of the
market. which Will doubtless increase from
this time to the opening Of navigation if favor
able weather should continue. Prices gener-
ally are sc weaker, than the highest reached
week ago. Choice white brands bring 81 /;

Hard Times come Again No More

Hard Times come Again No More.
Two honest farmers sat talking
Together, one wintry night,
or farms products and prices
And Of money becoming 80 tight
OF the very, very low prices
or Pork, Wood, Wool and Grain,
And all the hard-earned products
The farmer could obtain.
SAID Uncle John, to the farmer,
II troubles me night and day,
To pay such prices for all my goods
My debts | can never pay;
My house Is small, my barns also,
My buildings are all getting old,
II Mess building material gets cheaper
My farm will have to be sold.
With cheerful mein the farmer replies,
Just came from little town
Where found hardware firm,
That's just knocking their goods down,
They say goodbye high prices,
or all goods in their line,
They're going TO sell 80 mighty cheap,
We shall have no cause to whine.
I've made up my mind to give them
My influence and my trade,
They have a clean new stock or goods,
OF about every name and grade;
When you say CASH, they sell 30 low
II does make fellow stare
They always seem good-natured
And know they will deal far.
They're sole agents for Detroit Stoves,
The best that can be made
The iron is smooth, is charcoal burned,
And OF no inferior grade;
Every Joint fits close and tight
And looks so very neat,
OF al the Stoves twas ever made
Those Detroit Stoves will beat.
Well prices are 30 low there
I've made up my mind to build,
With Nails and Trimmings, glass and sash
Ny bill is we'll nigh filed,
And at such rates 10 what beats me
And keep running in my mind,
How men can sell such goods so low
And goods Of every kind.
Hold! said Uncle John, who are they
And where can they be found,
I've looked from the Lake to kalamazoo
And all the country round.
AS we'll you know | ought to buy
A host OF stuff this spring,
SO who are they? Where do they keep?
| must understand this thing.
Don't be too fast, III tell you more,
I'll tell you of their Plows-
They're made Of steel from top to toe
And will the nations rouse.
And Of another kind also,
It's chilled so very hard,
Ii will plow almost forever
Without even being marred,
I'll tell you Of their cultvators,
Their Horse Rakes and all that,
If they don't beat the speckled Jews,
Sir. you can have my hat.
But, perhaps, I've said enough,
Now don't look for any others,
But go to Paw Paw at the old Hardware stand
3 And you will find MI LIS BROTHERS.
