Woodstock, Jan. %.

1t may be that this much abused, despised,
aud dreaded weed is to be turned to some
useful account in our farm economy. 1t has
been written of, talked about, and belabored
by thousands and thousands of tongues.
We believe it is yet to do good service as a
crop to plow under for green manuring.
There are many other equally bad, or. worse
weeds than this same Canada Thistle. We
believe that it will be found profitable to
SOW the seed on land desired to be renovated,
applying soma cheap fertilizer at the time of
sowing the seed. When the young thistles
have attained growth Of from one to two
feet roll them down thoroughly and plow
them under, narrowing the ground level.
Any that escape should be cut as soon as
they show signs of life. A crop of
buckwhOat can be sown on this same land
and this with the new crop of thstles that
will sprout up from the buried roots will fur
nish in four to six weeks, new and fresh
crop to plow under a second time the same
season. We are aware many farmers will
scout the idea at ii rst, but we believe that
upon careful and second thought they
will see Mat it has its merits. This
ties will grow more or less on all farms, and
why not turn them to some useful account by
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1875-02-05
Abortion in Cows.

When or where it first became epidemic, |
am not well read enough to know but the
years are not very many since the dairy re-
gon within limit of thirty or forty miles
Of Philadelphia has been scourged with it,
Previously, though, it was uncommon for a
COW to drop premature calf, it was gene
rally caused by i'll treatment by man or by
other cattle, and never affected other mem
bers of tho herd. Now, that it has assumed
the form Of disease and become epidemic,
| its prevalence is greatest among the best-se-
lected and most nicely cared for daires.
And though in time it will probably run its
course like all other diseases, and become
well enough understood to yield to a fixed
| treatment, Just now it is the most serious
drawback farmers have to contend with.
All scientific investigation so far has failed
to point out preventive. About the only
good effected has been to explode some blind
theories-and almost every one has his
theory, your humble correspondent among
the number. ii ow blind mine may prove,
some investigator can probably say; but as
tarted out to give it, | will do so briefly.
Five years ago then receHtly purchased
York State COW introduced the disease
among my flock so thoroughly that but one
COW escaped, and she was so proof against it
that she carried her calf full time each year
since all the others aborted within from
two weeks To three months, one very fine COW
dying For the next three years it visited
the flock with more or less severity, regular.
ly coming about the first of November. Re-
placing afflicted COWS by others only aggra .
vated the disease, they suffering worse than
those that had passed year or more on the
property. In casting about for the origin oi
the trouble, noticed that cows physced
from any cause were more likely to abor
and also remembered that the introduct ion
Of the disease among my COWS followed very
closely after they had access to stack OF
wheat-straw, against which fish brinO had
been thrown. This coupled with the fact
that frosted grass is liable to scour stock,
confirms me in the belief that laxative state
of the bowels is very liable to bring on abor.
ton in herd predispOsed to it, Acting on
the hint, am very careful about giving
much salt at this season of the year, or Of
anything else that will cause looseuess of the
bowels. 1t my theory is correct, RENE dies
will doubtless be devised to counteract the
purgative tendencies OF food on stock.
From some cause or other | have had less
trouble from the disease for the last two
J years-lOst year having but few, and thi
