The Weed Nuisance.

Weeds viii assert their rights when
ever there is a chance, and if not
checked VIII { monopolize the entire
farm. Cultivation, in general sense,
is the best exteTminatOr. But weeds
should not be removed and thrown
away, or burnt IN piles as farmers do;
they should be made a source of profit,
or at least to pay for their grub" by
adding them to the manure-heap. Some
may say that the seed of the weeds re-
tain.their vitality in the. manure, and
when the manure is spread on the
earth these weeds grow and give us q
world of trouble I'VE have Heard this
objection over and over gain and many
either burn their weeds or cart them to
some waste hole for fear of this. On
the other hand, we like to see this ma
nure-heap cared for. 1t is a sign of a
strong arm and a vigorous intellect at
the head of affairs. And even at the
risk of encouraging weed-seed once in
a while, we would rather preach the
doctrine of throwing everything into
this one common receptacle for alTveg-
etable and animal refuse, than aid in
the waste of good material which we SO
often see. Even when there is likely to
be much objection from weed-seeds in a
manure-heap, provided the vegetable
refuse is likely to be valuable, the seeds
may be destroyed by composing. The
warmth of the decaying mass causes
the seeds to sprout; and if the whole
mass is turned over once or twice, so as
to give air enough to all the seeds in
time to terminate, all the objectiona-
BILE matter may be destroyed. We fear
far more from ugly roots of vile creep
ing weeds in the manure-heap than we
do from bad seeds; but even these may
be pretty badly worried by a stirring
over of the mass a time or two before
using. But this requires labor, and
how much labor can be made profitable
will always be question before the
saving of waste material, however val
liable in the abstract it may be.-GeT-

DIR. Philip Leidy, whose long expert
ence as Port Physician and connection
with the Health Department make him
an authority, was sound Yesterday
afternoon, by singular coincidence,
surrounded with books, engaged in the
study of the history and etiology of past
cholera epidemics. Il think it very
likely" he said, that we shall have at
least toucl, CT it in Philadelphia this
Yea-. z - travelling in Just the same
track that it followed in other years.
There 3 ueed for the utmost vigi-
lance. 1t is of not much use to think
of a fire department after about half a
town is burned, and it is a great mis-
take TO defer the consideration of this
important matter until the epidemic is
at our doors. 1 believe, and am sup
ported in my views by most of the au-
thorities, that quarantine is not an
etfectuaf preventive against the intro
ductiop of the. cholera, but, neverthe-
less, there should be precautions, and,
above all, the points should be carefully
watched whence it is likely to come.
Prompt and authoritative information
should be given to threatened ports of
the shipments of passengers or goods
. from any place where cholera exists.
But even that may not avail. Persons
familiar with cholera history know that
vessels with clean bills of health from
places where cholera was unheard of
have developed cases in mid-ocean. It
is even thought that epidemic atmos-
pheres have been encountered at sea by
different vessels, a thousand miles
apart. DR.. Edward Goodbye, an emf

The Best Time to Cut Canada ThistIes.

We must begin to cut the thistle at a
period when the roots will be the most
easily destroyed. The thistle pushes up
its stems, these flower and bear seeds,
and it does this largely from the under
ground stores of food. Having provided
for flowers and seeds, the leaves of the
thistle are ut work increasing and
Strengthening the roots for the next
years crop. Hence, the underground
part of the plant is at its weakest at
lowering time. BY cutting it then, we
not only destroy all the work it has
done in preparing the flowers. but we
at the same time. prevent it effectually
from maturing its crop of seeds. When
the stems above the ground are cut
away, the roots push other stems, and
at this time, instead of storing up sup
plies, the roots are expanding them.
Thus, then, when the thistle is bloom
ing, or about to do so, is the time when
the greatest injury can be inflicted
upon it. tl
But with the Canada thistle, once cut
ting, while it greatly weakens, wiki by
no means kill 10; and tnere is no time
at which it can be destroyed at a. single
cutting. The only proper way with
this and similar plants IS to cut the
shoots that first appear. and to contin-
Ne as long as there IS anything to cut.
