Weed Seeds.

As the season advances the numerol
weeds that escape destruction begin to
ripen their seeds, and scatter them over
wide extent of territory. No time on
the farm can be spent more profitably
than that of gathering up the weeds be-
fore the seeds are ripe. On plowed
land, where the system of clean culture
is pursued, the weeds will be DESTROYED
long before they are large enough to
blossom, but on the edges of plowed
land there is always very inviting, as
well as secure place for weeds to grow,
1t is in such locations that weeds are
able to grow unmolested, until they have
matured their seeds; for it is only the
most thorough and careful farmers that
keep the weeds down in such places.
The season passes off SO rapidly that the
weed seeds are ripened before the farmer
is aware of it. Coming as it does in the
haying season, when the farmer is 50
hurried with work, that he has but little
time to examine any fields, except those
where he is at work, it is not strange
that many weeds on the borders of the
fields sometimes get the start of even
those who have well managed farms.
A single hour with a scythe will
destroy a great number of weeds; but
once hoeing is not sufficient for most of
weeds; many of them if cut before well
in blossom, will as soon as cut grow
again, sending up numerous shoots
which must be cut again before the seeds
begin to ripen. Twice cutting at the
right time will destroy most of weeds;
but there are some that so perSistentlv
send up fresh sprouts that they need to
be cut several times to prevent seeding
Sorrel belongs to this class, and may be
considered one of the most troublesome
weeds that infect our land. When once
ii gets well established on farm, it is
very difficult to get rid of it. Where
the land is rich it may be killed out in
plowed land, and on rich grass land
the growth of the grass is SO heavy that
the sorrel stands but small chance, but
on poorer parts of the farm it requires
constant vigilance to keep it from iniur-
ing the crops. He who intends to keep
his farm we'll cultivated must see to it
that no weed seeds ripen in any neg
lected corner of the farm. MaSSachu-

The Dakota Wheat Region.

Nowhere else in the United States, I'M
less it be in the distant and little known
valleys of Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton Territory, are such large crops of
wheat raised with such small expense
and such certainty of success year after
year. The grain is sown late in the
spring, as soon as the hot suns of the
northern latitude have dried the soaked
lands, and grows with marvellous rapid
ity. BY August it is fully mature and
ready for reaping. All the teamwork
is done by machinery. The plowman
rides upon a sulky- pillow; the grain is
sown with drill or broad-caster; the
reaping machines bind the sheaves as
they move over the ground, and the
threshers do their work in the fields
driven by portable steam engines that
burn the straw for fuel The grain is
hauled at once to elevators at the near
est railway station, and then the whole
farm equipment of apparatus is left
standing in the fields until needed the
next year. Except on the big bonanza
farms" owned and operated by capital
lists, it is rare to find any sheds for i'm
plements, or, indeed, any farm buildings
save a little bare box of a dwelling, and
a rude stable of boards, sod and straw,
to shelter the horses from the winter
billiards. The red barns of the bonanza
farms make great show upon the wild,
vacant prairie, but they are not much
larger than thrifty Pennsylvania farm
ers, who till hundred acres, build to
house their crops and stock.
1t is within bounds to say that, taking
one year with another, a profit of ten
dollars an acre is made on the Red River
wheat-lands, after paying all expenses
of seed, cultivation and marketing. The
great merit of this magnificent grain
field does not lie wholly in its richness,
however. Its structure is peculiarly
favorable for the transportation of its
product to the seaboard. Two hundred
and fifty miles of rail transit brings the
Red River wheat to Duluth at the head
of Lake Superior, from whence there is
water-carriage all the way to New York
harbor. Dakota seems to have been fitted
by nature for vast, permanent wheat
field. The conditions of climate and soil
exist for producing the best grade of
wheat and the largest average crops
harvested for succession of years in the
United States, except, perhaps, Wash
ington Territory. the " NORTH
