A correspondent of the Prairie Farm

Mr.. T. Greiner, IN the Farm and Gar

way to destroy the weeds that general.

toes are up, so that the rows can be
seen plainly, is by thorough use of
harrow or drag. He places great en-
phasis upon this, and deems it far more
effective than the cutivator and hoe, at
less expense.
Tomatoes raised in poorish light soil

ing, then the rich soil and the rank
growth are needed. Cutting off
all but one or two of the fruits of the
clusters while they are small and green
will also cause those remaining to grow
large size. So says the Rural New
Yorker.
The value of good animal is to sub.
serve certain required purposes by
allowing us to breed in those directions
only that are best for our interests and
desires, and while nature has confined
females Of all animales to a limited re-
production of offspring, she has endow-
ed the males with powers that are un.
limited, which is of the greatest advan.
tage to US in the improvement of stock.
The expenses incurred in the purchase
of good mare, therefore, are trifng in
comparison to the advantages derived,
as the benefits are without limit.

"a hours, forecast the indications of
the weather for the next "a hours, but
does not claim even this forecast as
knowledge. Astronomers may calcu.
late eclipses for centuries in advance of
the result of their calculations, which
the world has come to regard as GER
talntles, but no one pretends to claim
these future events.as facts of knowl-
edge present. No one says that he
knows an eclipse will occur in the flu
ture, but that he expects it to occur,
just as We expect the sun to rise to-
morrow, and we know as much of the
one as he knows of the other. Our
knowledge cannot extend beyond the
present. Therefore Prof. Virgins pre-
diction of the storm for months in ad
vance is at best only long ranged in
ference so far removed from its data AZ
to be wholly conjectural. Yet there is
some wisdom in it as a conjecture, for
the reason that he appointed it in the
midst of the stormy month of March
and took several days to play on. Be.
sides all this, people are generally in a
bad humor in March and are ready
to believe almost anything that promise,
evil. If he had appointed it for the
middle of September or October, he
would uot have had twelve disciples or
the continent. There is weather
prophet in McMinnville who told us OF
the 18th Of February that there hac
been fifteen DAYS of rain and cloud,
weather and would likely be some NOR,
of the same sort of weather during tn,
remaining ten days of that month
He is the safest prophet in the field
from the fact he turns his prophetic kel
back to the unerring track of expert
ence and makes that the lamp unto hi
pathway through the abstruse region
of meteorology.
We insist that these weather.wi.
prophets, before they disturb the dream
of innocent people any further, be re
quired to pronounce which one Of tn
foregoing platforms they stand upon
science, religion or sensation. Noa
did not hesitate moment to declar
on which he stood when forecasting tn
weather for forty days and nights, on
hundred and twenty years in advanc,
and why should these modern NOAH
keep the secret all to themselves? Pc
hapS Noah had no almacs to sell {
patent medicines to advertise. Wis
gins went to Halifax the other day VI
der the pretense of saving the shippio
from his storm. Noah went to shil
ping as the only means of saving hin
self and his. Science and sensatio
will not do. If these men want to g,

Saturday last. and was exhibited to

men who expressed an admiration for
his fine size, sty lie, appearance and
graceful movements. Weare informed
that this celebrated horse will remain
for three months at the Livery Stable
