FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
weeds.


While the world lasts weeds will
grow, The Germantown Telegraph has
this to say about the destruction of
these ubiquitous foes of the farmer:
Every once in while we read that the
way to destroy noxious weeds is to haul
loads of earth and cover the places
where the weeds grow half foot or
ft SO deep. Sometimes these instructions
are vaIiedE no as to read rubbish instead
OF earth, and then again rubbish is de-
. fined as straw, cornstalks, or even
brush Now we have no doubt in the
world that weeds can be destroyed in
that way. We know that weeds have
TO feed on air and all that sort of thing,
and that If they are smothered they
can't breathe, and II they cannot
breathe they die. All this is SO plain to
the thlckest skull that one may feel per-
fectly safe in recommending it as some
thing that will surely do. And yet we
would like to know how many who re-
commended it have ever done SO, or
seen their plan tried by others. We
very much doubt whether it was ever
done. Some one may have noticed that
under a brush-heap everything was
lss killed, and that after remaining year
the brush-heaps removal would show
the spot bare of all vegetation. If the
recommendation ever had any ground
at all it was surely this
..s Our remedy for noxious weeds is thor
ough cultivation. If piece of ground
p is full of briers, milkweed, couch grass,
va 81 Sodom apples, Canada thistles, sorrel,
toad lax, or other miserable stuff that
b sl 90 so often tries the mettle OF our good
o., 5e farmers, let them put the ground in corn
y sasri for couple of years Or so, keeping the
cultivation going continually, and espe-
cially going in the earliest parts of the
season, and the toughest character
ue among these weeds will fail to stand the
ordeal. the hand hoe can be spared
2M to go in among the hills of corn occa
sionally, where the teeth of the harrow
cannot REACH or to cut off here and Their
one which the harrow may miss, a baC
AtAa}l case may be cured in single season
But, if this cannot be done, a couple O.
successive years with sharp tooth cul

do the business for the worst case tina
ever was.
