whence Come the Weeds:

An anonymous writer In one of our

the source of weeds, thousands OF which
oftentimes suddenly appear as if their
seeds had been sown during the preceding
season.

farmer introduced an IRON pillow, his work.

And that is true. And | say manure

The fac, IS the soil Is so stocked VITA
weeds from the surface down to bed rock
that any better kind of cultivation encour.
ages the weeds to grow, and with better
crops we have still more abundant weeds,
in the precise ratio that it Is easier to grow
weeds than crops. And so weeds are nat
ural to the soil; tor the soil is full of the
seeds, and the better plo wing we do, with
the better plows we have, the more tn.
weeds grow; and the more we cultivate
the soil the more new, or old, seeds VIZ
bring up, and the more manure we use The
stronger il the growth. 1t Is very discour

better he does his work, the more he Il

more crops, the more insects. and the rich

give it to her. There he shockingly abus-
ed her and then fled. He was arrested
next day a! Paris, Ky, taken back, tried
found guilty and sentenced to be hanged
He admitted his crime, but claimed tina
the girl was more than willing victim.
