Show weeds Migrate and Multiply.

! 1t is stated hat there are now no less
than two hundred and fourteen weeds,
which have been introduced into the
United States from foreign countries,
and principally from England. As a
proof of the rapidity with which useless
plants are accidentally brought overkthe
seas, it is said that in 1887 there were
only one hundred and thirty-seYen
foreign weeds known in this country
AS far back as1672, a curious little vol
ume called "New England's Rarities,''
gave a list of twenty-five plants, which
the author considered had sprung up
since the English had kept cattle in
New England. The author mentions the
Hsplantain,n .. which he says the Indians
call the "Englishman's FOOT as though
produced by~the tread of the white set

The common ayellow toad hax,at it is
stated, was originally introduced intoth
province Of Pennsylvania, as a garden
flower, by a Mr.. Ranstead, a Welshman,
residing IN Philadelphia, from whom it
has derived the name of "Ranstead
weed" In 1853 this weed had eyerrun
the pastures IN the inhabited part of
Pennsylvania, and was the cause of bit

that day. Chicken-weed, it is stated, was

The FOOt.Alnldf.aMIouth disease diaas .

This malady, at present doing such
fearful havoc amongst the cattle mNeN
York and neighboring States, is newgto
this country. 1t appears that we are in
debted to the Canadians, for this on
pleasantness." According to the .Cot1-
try Gentleman, it is almost certain that
the contagion was conveyed to Duchess
county by a drover, who finding, on his
arrival at Albany with a lot OF Canadian
cattle, that they were sick and unstable,
and being afraid to go to any large mar
ket, shipped the animals to PoughkeeP-
sic, and drove them thence across 10y
of Paulding and Dover) to New MIL
ford and Kent, in Connecticut, where
the disease is spreading quite extern
siveIy. In Massachusetts,, it has appeared
in the neighborhood of birmingham,
and there also the Introduction of the
disease is attributed to the Canadian cat
tie.
of the causes of this distressing dis
ease no good account can be, given. Soil,
situation and food seem to ave little or
no influence on it; and ike its congener,
p1europneumonia, it prevails alike IN the
badly ventilated and badly drained cow
sheds, as in the clean, dry and carefully
tended establishment. Although the
spontaneous appearance of exzema can
not be explained by any of those laws
which govern epidemics IN general, such
as impure air, &c, yet it is an established
fact that contagion is a great and widely
spread cause Of the disease. The most
careful investigation into the history of
all outbreaks in Europe indicates that
the malady i~sfhHafiahly INTRODUCED, and.
spreads exclusively by c~ontagion, not in
fection-thatis to sayzthat ~lon1yzactual

The communication of the disease to
mansadmits of no doubt. The history of
the various outbreaks of the disease de-
monstrates this. At this writing w learn
that it has appeared in the human sub
ject, in several cases, in New York State.
Where the diseases has Eprevailed i'm
Europe, the symptoms lave repeatedly
been noticed in mem drinking the milk
of diseased cows, for instance in 1S41, at
the time the footcand-mouth disease first
appeared in England. III
The effects of eentagieR developed in
a very short space OF time; generally
within thirty hours. Hence the neces-
sity of Legislative inteffersnee in pre-
venting the mtreduction of diseased
animals. 1t appears that the Connecticut
Legislature of 1869, though urged to do
30, refused to make any provision to
prevent the spreadspf eontagious diseases
among cattle. Every State without such
