into the South and paid to malign

They have blackened the fame Of

away wealth and progress and
crowning barbarism with power

rob to penury, and then, with base
ness without parallel, do they fill
the press of the country and
mouths of bowling party leaders
with sickening lies that the North
may be compactly arrayed against
the South, and power perpetrated
in the hands of the worst enemies
of the American Union. The
Union was never as strong as
when Lee and Johnston surren-
dered. and Lincoln thanked God
in the old capitol in Richmond.
The Union soldiers had achieved
their mission. The Union was
never so discovered as when sec.

Constitution and putting States

setting over both vile adventurers

Chisho olm and Mathews and a few

the whites of the South have not
revolted against knavery and in.
tolcrable wrong, and forced the es
tablishment of a military despot-
ism.

The Canada Thistle.

The Canada thistle-which, by the
way, is misnomer, as it is a native OF
the Old World -may be known from
all other thistles by the small size of the
hower-heads, which are always purple,
and not generally more than half an
inch. or st most two-thirds of an inch,
in diameter. Add To this the excessively
prickly character of the leaves, and the
general business of the stems, which
rarely exceed two or three feet in
height, and we have characters which
will enable any one readily TO recognize
the pest. The Canada thistle like most
others is, strictly speaking. biennial;
that is. it gets start in lie one year
and then the next grows up, produces
an abundance of flowers and seeds, and
then decently dies. That is, the other
species die decently. Here is just where
the Canada thistle does not follow the
custom of all well-behaved thistles.
During the second year of its life,
which should be its last, it quickly sends
out underground number of stems
which secretly penetrate the soil and
get n good foOthold. so that when the
parent plant dies these hidden offshoots
do not suffer. Thus, while the plant
itself dies mt the end of the second year,
its underground stems do not. Each of
the latter will act just as the parent
plant did, SO that while each plant dies
out on time, the patch IF thistles is per-
ennial.
Now rs TO the destruction of the pest,
it is evident that every method resorted
TO must take into account these under
ground stems. 1t is not enough merely
to prevent its se@d ny. That would
check it only in one particular. and the
least important one Mt that. More rad
icai treatment must be resOrted to. Let
me enumerate several methods which
will prove successful if thoroughly car
ried out: /. No plant, even though it
be Canada thistle, can live without
having green leaves exposed to the sun
light. If no leaves are allowed to ap-
pear, rs by persistent hoeing, any Can
ada thistle patch may he starved out
The difficulty is that in such a contest
between a farmer and his thistlcs. the
farmer gets tired out sooner than the
thistles do. 2. Plow up the patch,
AMI carefully pick out every under
ground part of the thistles that can be
found by repeated narrowing. After
the lapse of few weeks repeat the
process, and then again, and again.
This is tedious and expensive, but in
some cases it will pay. B. In the early
part of the season cut off every plant at
the surface of the ground, and drop on
the top of the root a small handful of
salt. Some recommend the addition of
copperas. This can only be resorted to
when the patch of thistles is limited in
extent know a chem st who de-
stroyed a small patch of thistles in his
door.yard by pouring a spoonful of oil ri
vitrol (sulphuric acid) On the top of the
root.-PrOf G. E. Bessey, Iotca Agri-
cultural College, IN ". y Tribune.
