when you add to this the demoralizing

apply q certain amount of alkaline
salts, pnosphates aud ammonia or
nltrates to mangels, we find great
deal OF these substances taken up bv
the plant than we should if we applied
the same salts to wheat, or, in fact. to
any other crop grown.
But msngels are not grown to any
extent in the states, and | ana far from
saying that they ought to be grown
1t would, however, appear that if
more active manures are used, with
the intention Of growing large crops,
the increased growth of weeds must
be expected, and their destruction
must be provided for by the selection
of such crops as will admit of the use
of the horse hoe throughout the sum
mer.

Why He Drew Forth His Wallet.

is got to be bought and made and all
that.

the money, what proof of your af-

want another dress, since you have
given away your dog2'
"Oh, " she sweetly replied, have
given the dog to my sister, and l can

How Weeds Diminish Crops.

Sir ]. B. Lewis in the Country Gentleman.
In the autumn of the past year l
wrote a paper for the purpose of
pointing out the great Importance of
removing weeds from land to which
artificial manures have been applied
1t is only quite recently that the
great influence exercised by this class
of vegetation upon the growth Of our
crops mas forced itself upon my at
tention. The average yield of wheat
in the states is about thirteen bushels
per acre If no other vegetable was
allowed to grow upon the land but
the wheat, what would be the yield2
A remarkable instance of the effect
of weeds in reducing growth is to be
found in the experiments carried on
by the Duke of Bedford at Woburn.
In the second year of these expert
ments a change was made in the
management, and the necessity of
keeping the land free from weeds was
not sufficiently recognized. The fol-
lowing was the annaal produce of the
same plats of land, MANFRED every
year with the same artificial manures,
consisting of potash, phosphateand
nitrate of soda;
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-03-27

In 1873, the year when the weeds
prevailed, the artificial manures yield
ed one bushel per acre less than the
plat which was left entirely without
manure But of late years the land
has been kept scrupulously clean, and
it is now, ia fact, cleaner than my
own land at Rothamsted
The Woburn soil possesses one
great advantage over my own, from
the fact that wedding can be carried
on without injury when the land is
wet. There can be no doubt, how
ever, that the large produce which is
ObtaiEed, both at Woburn and at
Rotnamsted, as compared with the
produce sobtained by ordinary farm
ing, is very much due to the absence
Of weeds.
At Woburn seven unmanured crops
of barley, grown in SUGGEST on, have
given an advantage of 81 bushels per
acre. This is a product considerably
in excess of what might have been
expected from a soil which, although
fairly rich for the first inches from
the surface, is very scanty and poor
below that depth.
In order to test the influence of
weeds, | allowed the wheat to shed
its seed ON about half an acre of land
at the top of my experimental wheat
field. The crop-which if cut would
probably have yielded sixteen bushels
per acre-has therefore resown itself,
and will have to contend to the best
of its ability with any weeds which
spring up.
In writing some time ago upon the
dependence of the human race for
their existence upon some annual
plant bearing a cereal grain, pointed
out how very much the growth of
such plants depended upon the care
and attention of man land I;suggested
that if field of corn were left to its
own resources it was quite possible
that not one plant would be found
IN the field after four or five years.
lime will show what Will actually
take place in the present case.
From the appearance Of the land,
and the prevalence of couch grass
and other weeds, | should think that
the present crop would be very small
one indeed and probably the last one
that would grow at all. The remainder
Of the feld--now under its fortg-irst
crop-looks exceedingly well. Up to
the present time the winter has been
warm, and the rainfall moderate ;
these conditions have favored the for.
nation of nitric acid without the risk
Of much being washed away, while
the warmth has allowed the roots to
grow continuously.
If I have made it tolerably plain
that artificial manures are too costly
TO be used with the result of growing
weeds it is necessary to consider
whether they should be use at all,
aud ii used, in what manner this can
oe done so as to avoid wasting them
upon the growth of weeds.
BY far the largest amount Of the
manure used in England is applied to
NE root crop; aud this is crop which
lae farmer keeps as free from weeds
as possible. Roots possess a much
greater capacity for turning manure

Judge Lords Only Mistake.

but one direct mistake on a question

was on a statute which had just been

and that it was due to the action just
taken by the Legislature, he said
"Well, the good Lord only knows
