agricultural districts, we were aston

fine farms were thoroughly seeded
down to the Canada thistle. We
passed field after field Of oats, peas
anc wheat, from one quarter to one
third of which were thistles gone to
seed. The air was fall OF thistle
downs, which were being waited by
the zephyrs and brcczes here, there
and every where. To crown all hogs
were industriously roofing up the
highway sides, and making seed beds
for the tlilstles. The evil is so wide
