AGRTCW TURAL.
Thistle Killing.


It has long been wonder to me
Rat 80 many people make hard work
OF what, If properly done, is SO very
easy to Do. To know how to kill the
PERENNIAL or Canada thistles we must
first study their structure and manner
Of growth. Under ground they have
long stems or root.stalks creeping
through the soil; these are, at first, en-
,tlrely devoid of roots, and perform the
same Office for the thistle thai he tn.
Der does to the potato; j, e., during the
latter part Of summer they store up
nutriment to support and push the ear
" summer growth Of the next year
From the points Of these in early
spring issue upright stalks which push
above ground and bear leaves and
blossoms and seeds, and on these also
below the surface are all the true CT
feeding roots; the spring growth OF
these up to Towering time Is nearly all
made at the expense Of the nutument
stored safely underground IN these
"rLizomes' or root stalks during the
previous summer Now # we begin
to 7 low early, as in summer-tallo"lng,
while these root. stalls ere gorged with
substance, they Will retain material
enough to continue to throw up stalks
each time we plough them OFT, and
often it vii! take two or more years
to exhaust them so as to kill; on the
contrary, Il we let them grow until
near Towering, tie growth o: stem and
leaves, having been made at the ex-
rense of this stored nutriment, will
have nearly exhausted it, and with it
the vitality Of the plant. This should
teach US how to kill this vilest of all
thst.es.
The following way | have found
successful in entirely Kidding three
farms Of them without losing the use
of the land, but getting a crop every
season. Have the land rich if posi-
BILE, at least get it well seeded to clio,
yer, and by plasterin9 get an early
growth, so as to nov it for hay just as
the thistles begin to show bloom. Al
ter moving apply little plaster SO as
to quickly start the clover, and when
about one foot high, say from July 20
70 August 5, carefully plough the land
with some plough that will turn all
the soil; roll down and harrow thor
,oughly so az to cover every thistle,
leaf and branch; few thistles viii show
themselves after this, but when they
do begin to come up again hoe thor
ongh!y with cultivator having broad
sharp teeth that will cut off all tn
thistles under the ground; in two days
2, over, and with sharp hand-Aoe
cut of any stray ones that may have
escaped the cultivator; YOU will find
them growing fewer and paler each
time, but follow this up as often as
they appear until freezing up, not let,
ting single thistle get tuI. IeaI, and,
10y word for It, you will never see a
thistle again on that plat until 1t
comes from the seed, and you will
lave field in the very finest condi-
tisn for any spring crop. This plan
will not only kill thistles, but | have
found it most ehicacious in clearing
land Of all noxious weeds as well.

Theory and Practice Of Bud
ding

The reason for budding, about
which a friend inquiries is found IN
the fact that whatever growth issues
from the bud inserted will be exactly
the same in al respects Of shape, leaf
and fruit as the tree from which the
bud was taken. This is the reason =,
too, why watchful care is used to rub
oft every bud natural to the stock
so as to make the whole growth pour
through this one channel OF the insert
ell bud. To make this the easier the
stock is cut down to Just above the
bul before growth opens in the spring,
and three or four dis buildings follow
each other through May and June uh
til the new channel'of growth has ell
larged sufficiently to receive all the
root-supply, and the stock ceases to
push its own growth
AS to the practical phase OF the sub
ject, we may say, that, although a
peach bud may be cut and inserted
and tied closely and securely in few
seconds. it is not easy to describe The
process without visual illustration
All books on the horticulture, howev-
er, give illustrative cuts. The pm
cioal conditions Of success are thrifty
stocks to bud into in full growth for
some length OF time, so as to have Il
rich cambium layer under the bark,
almost ready to crystalline into wood
and bark. In the latter part Of Au
gust or early September this favora-
bic season is at its best. The stick of
buds should be taken from strong.
leader, grown in full light, with large
healthy leaves, and plump sharp
pointed buds. The sma Ter shoots
have only ho"er.bnIs generally. and
vii! not develop leaves or 400
growth The triple buds always con
sist Of wooi-bnA III the miIdls and
hower-bud Oh each sIle Of it.
1t is best that the shoot from winch
the buds are to be sliced should be
somewhat tirmsr ana ripper than the
stock that is to receive them. If not
so firm the little slice OF wood that is
pared off with the bud, being prone
to decay, is usually twilched out after
tire bud is sliced off, and in the in
slant, as it vera, of its passage into
the position under the ready-Ioosened
bark. Firm buis can be set much
tho most rapidly, as there is no delay
either to loosen and lift tine bark,
excepting just at the outer section Of
the T-hke cut through it, nor to take
out the chip Of wood. The wound
will heal and the parts unite before
this bit of wood can enter upon decay
if it has some degree Of ripeness, ard
it will be sealed up secure as a little
mummy, to be visible years AFTER

Potatoes for seed shouil be select ed
while digging in the iaIl, from the best

only small potatoes. Pick out tie
small potatoes from the bin in tie

HELD BY INDIANS.
A Prisoner Among the Utes Makes
his Whereabouts Known
BY Letter.
He Is Doubtless Being Held by the
Indians as Il Hostage.

st. Louis, July 11.-Parties just ar.
rived here from Chiquatua, Mexico. say
that paper was found near the place
where Mr.. Pugh was captured by. In.
dams when they attacked the stage some
forty miles below Ell Passo several days
ago. The paper bore these words, writ.
ten by Mr.. Pugh under prominent
headline:
"Take notice.-The finder OF this is en-.
titled to one hundred dollars on deliver.
ing it to Mormon * c., Chiquatua.
am prisoner among the indians. Dc
what you can for me"
The paper is dated 3 o'clock in the
morning. 1t is thought that if Mr.. Pugl
is in the hands of Victoria's band he is
being held MS hostage or for exchange
for several Indians of that band now il
the hands of Mexican authorities at Chi
quatha. 1t is further though. the Mex
leans would exchange some Indian chill
dren they have for Mr.. Pugh, but it ii
doubtful whether they would give III
adult prisoners.
