The Weeds.

This IS the seeding time OF the weeds. In
stinctively, rs il were. they seem to have eXer-
.cised choice III the selection OF time OF rpen-
Dc their seed, placing 1t when the farmer Is
Iowded with the labor OF the harvest, and
Erudges every moment devoted 10 other work.
But the weeds must be combated, or they Will
overwhelm u.s. They must not be allowed to
ripen and scatter their seed to render their
eradication tentold more troublesome. Some
weeds can be extirpated by timely and persis-
tent outlay just when the seed is nearly iorm-
ed The dock and Canada thistle are among
this class of perennials. All ANIMALS can be
eradicated from seeding. Thistles cut when
the blossoms first begin to open will disappear
after few years, il the practice is followed.
Weeds should be cut in pastures and fence
corners, and on the road sides. We have no..
ticed that the elder has increased good deal
hereabouts within few years. 1t has the
good sense, however, never to step out into
the fields but contents itself with fence cor
ners and by-places. We are half inclined to
think that it is because the June blossoms OF
the elder are so pretty, and its masses OF
bright berries so showey in the autumn, and 1t
is so modest in its claims on territory, that the
trainers suffer its clumps to hide many an ugly
fence corner and rough stone heap.-AmericaH

How 70 Xiii Trees by watering.

Before We had learned what not to do in
pomology and arooriculture, in order to make
trees thrive luXurianty and bear abundantly
in hot and dry weather, we destroyed several
fine evergreens simply by puerile management.
This occurred during severe drought, when
we knew no more than other boys how not to
water trees Every evening several pailsful
of tepid water were poured on the dry ground
around each tree, and the parched earth
drank up the scanty supply without seeming
to have been even sprnkled with water. Dur
ing the day the soil around the trees seemed
harder than when there was no water. The
more they were watered, the more the leaves
and branches and the hard soil seemed To need
generous drenchng. No effort was made tc
save any, excepting those valued most. But
every one that was watered literally died be-
fore winter. The trees were well rooted in
grass ground, having been planted two years
If some one had told the experienced youth to
spread straw or shavings round about those
trees, over an area of ten feet in diameter be-
fore applying the water, every one would have
been saved. If the ground were mellow and
not mulchcd, the true way would have been to
draw back few inches in depth OF the sur
face. water literally, after which return the
mellow soil. This Is the true way TO water
any plant If We would preYcat the surface OF
the ground from becoming crusty. Mulching
is better. II bearing trees can be mu!ched
siring the hot and dry weather the fruit will
gro~ much larger for it.

The trouble in churning is not answered
correctly, as w. H., of Earl, ILL.,. will find out
BY little more experimenting. Instead OF
aging all of the trouble to the Kind Of cows,
advise HIM to try the following plan, and see
that the management of the milk and cream
has most to do in the trouble OF churning
My plan is to use tin pans to strain the milk
in, and in the cool part of the year to set the
milk Oh the stove in the pans Is soon as straln-
ed, and let it remain about fifteen minutes or
until the cream starts then set In room al
joining the kitchen, in cupboard win
shelves and doors to it, so that It seldom
freezes. Let the milk remain III the pans
about three days and skim OF the cream and
empty the pans. Put the cream III stone
jar, and let it remain in the same cupboard
until the day that intend to churn, which is
once in three or four days, then IN the morn.
ing set it in the kitchen 80 that 1t Will get
warm enough to churn in the evening, about
60 degrees by the thermometer
Before we tried this plan we had the same
trouble as A. w., ofDes Moincs, Iowa. We
have still the same COWS. Another gam Is
sweet butter and sweet buttermllk, instead OF
bitter, worthless trash. ain convinced that
the trouble is not heating the milk. The
cream will rise more in twenty-tour hours,
when it is heated, than it will in four days
without warming. Cream that is taken from
milk that has been sitting around IN cool
weather for five or six days, without beng
heated, seldom churns quickly to butter.
Many persons lay the trouble to their cream
not being at the right temperature at the
time of churning, but that is not the trouble,
nor either is any particular kind Of cows a
remedy. say to Mr. A. W., of Iowa, try tn
same cows that he has upon the above plan,
if he wants to remedy his trouble in churning.

Feeding Hogs On Cooked Wheat.

A farmer of Ohio tried tins experiment with
fifteen hogs, and communicates the results to
the Cincinnati Times as follows: On the 4th
Of August, 1870, l put up 10 hogs weighing
2,400 pounds, and fed them ) bushels cooked
wheat the first week. On the lth their
weight was 1000 pounds gain, 200 pounds,
or gain of l3s pounds to iAe hog. beng
nearly two pounds day.
The next week fed them six bushels of
cooked wheat, producing an in rease of 2l5
pounds, or AZ pounds to the hog, being u
gam q over two pounds a head day.
The third week fed them ten bushels Of
cooked wheat, resulting in gain of a6O
pounds, or ~ pounds head, or slo-2l a
day.
The fourth week fed them II bushels of
cooked wheat, the gain being $40 pounds, or
81 pounds head, or fraction over three
pounds day each.

LARGE HORSES ON FARMs.-As II general
rule the farm horses % America are too small
for profitable work. TIA farmer can have o
lively stepping team on the road, he seems to
be satisfied, not thinking that such horses are
incompetent to do proper work in the field.
An objection against large horses with many,
is that they consume more feed than small
ones. At any rate it it were so, the extra feed
used is paid for iii the extra labor performed.
for horse of l,l0O pounds will necessarily
perform more work than one of 800 pounds,
and when such horse is in the tread power
of a thrashing machine, the gain in weight is
equal to three fourths. The fondness of young
men for trotters is inJuring the b eed of farm
horses, and unless more attention is given to
ryaiSag horses for the cart or the pillow, it will
Soon be rare to find any ut all fitted for these
purposes.

sTRAsBtHG CATHEDRAL AFTER THE
SIEGE.

The highest steeple Of the Minister was
an extremely convenient lookout for the
besieged, and in fact they could look from
there into all the works Of the Germans,
and discovered at once where laborers
were employed If the Prussian GEN
eral had only TO act as a General, his first
order would have been to destroy this
dangerous building but as il was he
took the utmost care TO protect il as much
as possible. The French had established
on the Minister, in the building of the
guard, q telegraph station, from where
the batteries were informed of the points
against which they had TO direct their fire.
The telegraph was plainly TO be seen from
the outside, and TO give them hint, some
shot were fired against ii. One of them
pierced the wall quite close TO the tele-
graph. Instead Of taking the hint, the
French showed themselves always on the
height, and 1t was very natural that some
of the artillerymeR, who perhaps did not
understand the value OF that architectural
monument, could not resist the tempta-
ton of sending up some balls to drive
eiium away, nvtwtUnstanuing All vr,lvis
of the General. The large Gothic cross
on the top of the Minister has been struck
also at its foot, and is hanging oyor some
what on one side. 1t is said that gun
ner boasted that be could hit the cross,
and an officer hearing it, and not beliey-
ing it possible at such great distance,
and to shame the boaster, said, 81 will
give you thaler if you hit it," Though
soldiers only were permitted to ascend
the tower on that day, our company en-
tered also. The beautiful towers con-
tnining the winding staircases were not
much damaged; but some parts of the
stone balustrades had suffered, and it was
dangerous TO pass. The whole roof of
the nave is burned, but the vaults under
meath fortunately resisted and kept the
flames from the interior Of the church.
From that gallery one has distinct view
of all the parallels. AS the whole Minis
ter was crowded with soldiers, we had
some difficulty in descending the narrow
stairs. We entered the interior of the
church and were glad to see that not
much damage had been done. Some sim
pie wooden chairs were burned: the up
per part Of the organ and some parts of
stained windows were broken; but the
celebrated clock was intact, Think, how
ever, that the damage done will require
100000 francs to repair it. Tenn

GETTING RD or DouBrs.-The way to
get rid of doubts in religion, Is to 20
work with all our might and practice
what we don't doubt. For example,
there's the Sermon on the Mount. No
body has any doubt about that, there il
lies plain enough and enough of theology
in II. Not word Of information to set
tie the mooted questions men wrangle
over, but with direct answer to just the
questions men wraDgle over, with a
direct answer to just the questions any
thoughtful man must want to have
answered when he looks at life. Is there
q Father In the heayensY viii he help us
if we ask? May the troubles Of life beour
disciplineF Is there better life beyond Z
And how are We to get thatl There is
Christs philosophy Of life in that sermon,
and Christs mode of dealing with actual
existing society; and he who undertakes
in good faith to square his heart and life
by II will have his hands full. The world
has been travelling eighteen hundred
years, and not come fully into the light Of
its meaning, There has never been d
Christian State or Christian nation, ac-
cording TO that. That document Is in
modern society just like lump of soda
in tumbler Of vinegar, it keeps up CON
slant commotion, and will do so till every
particle Of life is adjusted on its princi-
pies. The man who works ont Christ's
teachings into palpable lite-form,
breaches Christianity, 10 matter what his
trade or calling. lie may be a coal heay-
er or he may be a merchant, or an editor
or a Iawyer--he breaches all the same.
Men always know 1t when they meet a
bit Of Christs sermons walking out bOdi-
ly in good deeds: they're not like world
ly wisdom, and have smack Of some
thing good deal higher than common
sense, but when people see ii they say,
'Nes-thats the true thing Mrs Stotrc
in MY VJe and J."
