Noxious Weeds.

That class of plants known as
noxious weeds is the coating which
nature has taken to cover up her
waste places and neglected soil.
Without such a covering the soil
would become steril, unless cultiva-
ted by man, and ope-half OF our
farming lands would become a
desert. They are the Outgrowth of
large half-tilled farm. The average
farmer tries to farm three or four
times as much land as he can till
properly and consequently his crops
are about two-thirds weeds and one
third grain. Our roadsldes abound
with weeds, the fence corners grow
weeds and brairs and our grain is
full of weed seeds. The most com
mon weeds are the thistle, bur
dock and wild parsnip, but all of
them can be done away with
through cultivation. Only till
what land you can properly and l
will assure you that the weeds can
be kept down. If you are not able
to keep them down on all your
place, set out to forest trees or sell
what land you are not able to work
as it should be worked; and you
will raise more, have better health
and make more money than you did
before. The best way to get rid of
Canada thistles is to thoroughly
pillow your thistle patch and plant it
to corn or some other planted crops
and then cultivate and hoe the
piece thoroughly and cut off with
the hoe every thistle that comes up.
Sod no weed seeds and let none
grow and you will be rid Of them.
If the thistles flourish in your pas
ture, NOW them down several times
during the fall and they will soon
disappear. To kill burdock, wild
parsnip, ETC., grub hoe-an instru-
ment something like an adz-and
cut off just below the surface of the
ground, every burdock or parsnip
that you can find. The old root
will not start again. Nevertheless
weeds will flourish as long as far
mers persist in working three or
four times as much land as they
are able to.

give you some good advice on this
question. Your votes will be sought
often by whisky men and all sort 8

lieve that it is to your interest TO
keep whisky here. Turn q deaf ear
to all such tales that will thus he

now for twenty Years and it is GER
tainly time you should cease to heed
those mercenary pleas, and be gull
ed by a few drinks of mean whisky.
Your own Judgment, with past ex-
perience, tells too true that Whisky
has been a curse to our race. You
can see its numerous victims in
penitentiaries and chain-gangs.
The interest Of our county is at

mote our interest as well as their

Do YOU MIND THIS NowH-Ihe
young man who knows how to lay
off corn and cotton rows, and to
regulate the distance of the same SO
as to get the largest crops, is worth

know how to lead the german or

THE DAIRY.

Cream separators are said to be
a great success.
The milk crop of England is esti
mated to be worth about $150,000,-
600.
Milk should be churned several
degrees colder in summer than in
winter.
A cow that is heated and worried
will not milk well aud her milk will
not make good butter.
The use of good, sound, whole

pure milk and in making firstclass
burter.
Gilt-edged butter cannot be read
lily made from the milk of COWS fed
on large quantities of cotton seed
meal.
Strict cleanliness, pure air and a
cool temperature are tue points OF
most Importance to be observed in
the dairy during the heated season.
Cows should not be heated up by
being hurried, excited by bad
usage, etc, and should have a
shade from the extreme heat OF the
sun.
Solidity and entire freedom from
buttermiIk and water are cOndi
lions which must be observed in
making first-class butter, and Z
butter which will not become ran
cid at day or two OF age.
1t is said that a piece of canvass
thrown over a cow while milking
will prevent flies from annoying hel
and she will stand more quiet anG
her tail not be used so vigorously
to switch out the eyes of the mixer
Fry it and see if this is not true.
Great care should be exercised il
keeping the COW pastures entirely
free from rag weeds. These weeds
impart a peculiarly disgusting, tit
ter taste to the milk of the cow
which eat them, and the butte
made from such milk is also I'M
pregnated with the same peculia
taste.

"Did ever tell you about the
