A Hint About Weeds.


In harvesting Indian Corn and Wheat,
we cut them long before the grain-the
seed, is ripe. When the grain in either is
fully formed, the stalks are cut ; experience
hns shown that the ripening process goes
on the stalk contains sufficient nutrment
to perfect the grains, aud it does this after
the plant is cut away from the root. Indeed,
the grain thus treated, often comes to great
er perfection, than if the plant were left un-
iii the seed is fully ripe. What takes place
with these crop plants, also occurs with
weeds. Many weeds, If cut up while in
flower, still have nutriment enough in their
stems and leaves, to perfect aud ripen crop
of seeds. 1t therefore happens, that the
mere cutting up of many weeds, and leav-
ing them to dry upon the ground. does lit
tie towards their extermination. The com
mon Purslsne-or "Pussley," for example
has remarkable vitality. its very succulent
stems will remain alive for weeks, and ever
continue to grow after they have been de
1 priyed of the root. 1t is one thing to Gu
up weeds with the hoe it is equally impor,
tant, and should always he done in gardens
to gather up the weeds by the use oi rake
and carry them to a brush heap,where thel
will ultimately be burned. Ag

ing that though the law was good one man

that Mr.. Brady has done something wrong before
there is any proof it, and that we are trying to
