WEEDS.
The seIf-Infiicted Curse that Follows Our
Race.


There are some things which should
be done as we'll as others. We have
costly agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations which are devoted, or
claim to be- to the encouragement and
protection of agriculture No doubt
these are of some service to farmers,
however little the usefulness of the serv-
ice may be. 1t might be expected that
the results of the scientific work of
these institutions should at least be con-
sistent and as science is truth" these
results should be in accord with each
other. But instead of this there is the
greatest disagreement among them
selves, and with the experience of prac-
teal, intelligent farmers, and so far as
useful knowledge goes, the Professors
are like the doctors and lawyers of an
cent times who spent their time over
small things and left neglected the
weightier matters which were of most
Importance. And the question of how
to deal with insect pests is one OF
the greatest Importance to farm
ers, who are justified in looking for
help to the institutions which they sup

EVERYWHERE weeds prevail In the
fertile West they at times hide the corn,
and the writer has seen the common
pig-weed, or lambs quarter, (Chenopo-
dium album,) in new stubble ground
in Western Kansas, growing six feet
high and densely covering the ground
over 160-acre field in May. So the
universal beggars' ticks (Biderss from
dosa) cover the river bottoms in the
South completely every Fall after the
crops have been removed, and grow to
a height of more than six or seven feet.

and Panicun, csusqallD cover the land
| from Florida to the lakes; and it is a
| fact that the threshing machine engine
fires in Dakota are fed with the suffi-
GENTLY abundant weed seeds which are
cleaned from the grain. What vast
waste and labor are involved in this
growth of weeds! Truly the ancient
curse still follows our race, and the
earth brings forth ''thorns and thistles'
for our torment, really self-inflicted be-
cause we take no effective means to

SOIL FOR FRUITS.
The Kind of Soil in Which the Various
Varieties of Fruit Delight.

The Kind of Soil in Which the Various
Varieties of Fruit Delight.
The best soil for the production of the
apple is deep, rich, moist loan with a
sandy subsoil although it succeeds
moderately well upon any soil not too
dry.
The pear delights in a deep, rich,
warm loan, with clay subsoil.
The plum requires deep, moist soil,
but there must be no stagnant water
in it.
| The cherry grows best in rich,
warm, sandy loan. If a mulch of
| leaves, straw or brush is put around
them they will be very much benefited
by it,
The ounce should be planted in a
very moist. clayey soil, but one free
! from stagnant water
The peach produces fruit of much
| finer quality when planted upon light,
| high land with southern exposure. 1t
is also much more hardy and longer
lived than upon stronger soil and a
more northern exposure.
The grape delights in high, light,
rich, stony soil and produces its sweetest
fruit in the driest parts. On very dry
soils a mulch of old hay, leaves, brush,
ctc., during the months of July and
August will be found very beneficial,
but should be removed in September to
| allow the vines to more fully mature
wood and roots before very severe
weather.
Currants aud gooseberries succeed
best in the soil advised for the ounce
| Raspberries and blackberries are more
hardy if planted on light, sandy loan.
but if large berries are desired mulch
must be used in july. On more moist
land mulching is not needed, but the
canes are more liable to be winter
killed.
The different varieties of strawberries
succeed upon great variety Of soils;
on moist land the berries are generally
larger, fewer in number nd of an in
ferior quality, while on light land, more
and sweeter berries are produced, but
they will be smaller. TO overcome the
last difficulty heavy mulching o.
thorough irrigation must be resorted 10.

QUAKER Testimony.

Mrs. "A. NJ. Dauphin, Quaker lady, Of
Philadelphia, has done a great deal to
make known to ladies there the great value
of Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
as a cure for their troubles and diseases.
She writes as follows: A young lady of
this city while bathing some years ago was
thrown violently against the life line and
the injuries received resulted in an ovarian
tumor which grew and enlarged until death
seemed certain. Her physician finally adj
vised her TO try Mrs Pinkham's Compound.
She did so and in short time the tumor
was dissolved or caused to slough Off, and
she is noac In perfect heath. also know Of
many cases where the medicine has been
of great value in preventing miscarriage
and alleviating the pains and dangers of
childbirth. Philadelphia ladies appreciate
the worth of this medicine and its great
value.v

ORIENTAL BRASS WORK.

The New Made by Men, and the Repair
ing by Damascus Women.
The trays usually called Algerine are
always beaten out ON thin brass, are not
useful in domestic sense, being apt to
'.wobble' when weight is carried on
them, but their color being peculiarly
golden, as decorations they are perfect.
They are ornamented with many pointed
stars or varieties of the double triangle.
They generally present a mosque, often
ship, q crescent and star, or one OF
the varieties of the conventional sign
known as the hand of Mahomet. They
are never made now in Algiers; the
only brass work known there resembles
that from Tangiers-patterns cut out in
low relief. Some very handsome trays
of this latter sort can be purchased, and
Inscriptions of notices made to order;
they are more expensive than the 9TH
ers. Women and children in, Damas-
Gus are much employed in restamping
old trays from which patterns have be-
come effaced by long use-this being
probably not thought such important
work as the making new ones, task
reserved for men.
Thus / have seen an old Venetian
platter preserving the familiar twisted
rope and embossed center, but with all
the rest of the surface ineised in fiat
Damascus work: the conventional loz-
enge could still be seen at the back.
This was most unnecessary waste Of
labor on the part Of the Damascus
workmen, as Venetian platters, though
riddled with holes like sieve whan held
up to the light, are still cherished -

PROTECTION ADVISED.
Capt. Albert A. Barry, enc of the most
experienced fishermen on the chain or
lakes land who. by the way, Is nephew
of the noted Pers Hyaclnthel gives the
opinion that the government shoald pro-
hibit fishing in Lake Michigan from the
18th of September to the LIST OF January.
If all catching was stopped during this
period, in the course OF two or three
years there would be q marked increase
of fish. In order to protect the young
fish that are now caught, he Is in favor
Of the nets being a three inch mesh.
Fish that are smaller than that are OF no
market value, and should be allowed to
grow instead Of being caught and thrown
away. The catch has decreased rapidly
the past fifteen yeaIs at least seventy
per cent-and action to protect our fish
should be taken at ence, and all that
take an interest In fish culture are asked
to cooperate to that end. The United
States Fish Commissioners attention IL
