Experiments with weeds.

GOuntTy 6enbIeinan.
Prof Beal says he has made some experiments
in killing weeds by beginning in garden and
carefully removing all the weeds, not allowing
them to go to seed heeing and cultivating and
if a weed escaped, digging it up and carrying it
off, The result was, the weeds decreased in two
or three years, so that in passing over a small
tract he could pick up all the weeds and carry
them off with one hand. But he did not think

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
A substitute for Pastures.


Kansas CITY Times.
Now that the season is so rapidly approaching
when short pastures are the rule it is well to
look ahead and provide a substitute. This is
one of the things that cannot be neglected with
out loss Milk cows especially, if required to
fight flies and to give milk on dry and almost
dusty pastures, viii fall of in milk and also in
flesh Before they fully recover, after the fall
rains come, cold weather is upon them, hence it
may be said the benefits of summer pastures end
when the drouth sets in and are very short in
deed May, June and July, in some years, con
stitute all there is of the real flush season of
summer pastures. Three months out of twelve
is not enough, and the season can be
successfully bridged over by cutting grain
feed for month or SO during the drouth. In
this way the milk and flesh of COWS are kept up.
and when the rains come and grass takes fresh
start, having lest nothing they viii have moth

These remarks are particularly applicable to the
growth of young cattle. When the animal is

is pardonable to urge farmers to make provision

Farm Notes.

A Newburg, n. T., man has 200 different sorts

1t is good plan to pinch of the later blooms

A man at Hawl1insville, Ga, has started an
opessum farm. His acres are stocked with them
and fenced with wire netting and AS the animals
breed rapidly and find ready sale, he expects
to make it pay.

The farm well is usually near the cow-yard,

seventy five pounds of milk day for III days,

Cattle owners should be very careful how they
feed green clover cut or IN pasture; to hungry
animals of the COW kind. Sheep are far less
subject to injury from such feed. The only safe
way to feed green clover to cattle is to give it
free from rain or dew, and in very moderate
quantities especially at first before they get ae
customed to it.

a farmer BY feeding straw and clover and whole
