Weeds.

The annual report of the Ohio Expert
ment Station treats of weeds. Like other
plants. weeds may be divided into ANIMALS.
bennals and perennials. The natural
history of each species should be known.
for upon this is based many important
remedial measures. AS rule, annual
weeds are largely confined to cultivated
areas They should be closely watched,
and never allowed to interfere with the
growth of crops. By neglect we suffer
the double injury of lessening the yield
of the crop in which they appear, and
providing supply of seeds so that the
pests will be continued, thus causing tu-
ture trouble.
Biennial weeds, for the most part, pro-
duce no seed the first year, but seed is
often produced quite early in the second
season. On this account they should be
destroyed during the first year of their ex-
istence. Mos: of the worst biennial weeds
have fleshv or tap roots. In extermlnat-
ing these plants. just as much OF this root
should be cut off as possible.
Perennial weeds are those the tops OF
which die down at the approach of cold
weather, the roots remaining alive, and
from them new shoots are sent up year at
ter year. Many perennial weeds produce
their flowers and seeds much earlier in
the spring than ANNALS. On this account
they should be most carefully watched.
They are apt to be most troublesome in
pastures and meadows, and are often very
abundant along roadsides and fences.
They should always be cut before the bios
som. or at least before any seed is ma
tured.
The complete destruction of weeds is
no easy matter, yet within certain limits
it is not only possible, but practicable.
For nearly all cultivated grounds constant
and continued clean culture is the best
remedy. Clean culture has been prac-
ticed at the Station for the past three
wears, and grows easier each season. The
best way to secure clean culture is TO
never allow weeds to breathe.
In pastures, meadows, and all unculti-
waited areas weeds should never be al
lowed to blossom.
Besides using every known precaution
to prevent our land from becoming seed
ed and adopting the methods already indi-
Gated for killing weeds. we should sum
mon the law to our aid Wise enactments.
founded upon substantial information. and
judiciouslv framed. would, if enforced. aid
us materially in our warfare against these
inruders. Make it an offence punishable
with fire and Imprisonment for anyone to
sell impure seed or allow any weeds to GO
to seed on his property. This would tend
to check at once the spread OF weeds. and
when people became better informed. and
public sentiment thoroughly aroused, it
would cease altogether.

So MIR. James Fox set to work at once
to make himself agreeable to Miss Brown,
yet without going too far; for he had by
no means forgotten Miss Laquerton, but
he felt it was better to have two strings to
his bow. and therefore he determined to
do his best to keep Miss Nelly in good
humor.
This lady, however. was not so easily
satisfied as the solicitor expected. for now
he had once begun to pay her attentions,
she wanted decided offer of marriage,
and not being able to get it, she took re-

suddenly making the discovery that Mrs.

that it was quite dangerous for her to
