tiO tor ti,e Weeds.

One OF tho class Of self'answering
conundrums which we occasionally see
IN tho press, Ia that over the head OF a
long article now going tho rounds,
asking; "Can farmers afford TO grow
weeds7" To look at the unmowed
roadsides where weeds are getting
ready to Seed At the foul ience cor.
ners and ut the slovenly fields OF
some farms, II might DO thought that
there arc two opinions on the subject.
But 1t Is one of the things really set
tied in agriculture, and especially in
gardening, that II does not pay to
raise weeds. Many people, however,
act as if weeds are as truly an Inherit
ance from the first garden rs original
sin itself, and cannot be eradicatcd. IL
is u mistake. But they arc very like
habits--strong us you let them run.
Keep the harrow and the hoe going
frequently and lively now, and the
dreadful battle in August is obviated.
Give the weeds good start. however,
aud you can't catch them much easier
than you can lie, when it has started
with its seyen-league boots on.
Weeds are pretty much the only
"heads" that one is justified in hitting
whenever and wherever he sees them.
A good old deacon for whom we once
worked, commended his real vital
pioty to US more by his hatred of
weeds than by his discharge of mere
perlanctory moral obligations The
way he would kick up a dock, or DIES
patch u Canada thistle, or "yank' in n
on his way to the pasture,
Sunday evening, was "larks' to us
youngsters. There was no tolerance
given on his farm to the shiftless no.
ton that weeds "can't be killed"
They can be. Go for EN-!

Cut Grass. Not Hay.

1t is on us: the irregular annual ir.
ruption Of advice IN the agricultural"
columns OF the press, through which
young knights of the. paste pot and
scissors kindly tell old farmers when
to cut grass and how to manage their
hay crop. This thing has been going
on now tor many years, and one
would think there is little that is new
to be said, and that the best time and
method ought to be well settled. Still,
one farmer, with forty years expert.
ence, insists that the best time to cut
either grass or clover is when il is in
blossom, and that the best way to cure
it is by thorough spreading and much
handling; while other farmers hold
by their theories and practice to cut
ting when the seed is partially ripe,
and curing mostly in the cock.
Now, il anything can be considered
settled about this question, it is this {:
that the time to cut grass is when 1t is
grass, and not after it has become hay +;
Or, as somebody says: ITO make good
food for cattle, the grass must be cut
and cured, not cured and cut" Since
science has Investigated thr matter, the
extra feeding quality and value Of
early cut hay has been clearly seen.

quent power OF persuasion. So did
the late Daniel L. Harris, and it illus.

OF the Connecticut river railroad had
a difference with the Brattleboro

persuaded that l owe him something,
