PLANT DESTROYERS.
rhe Damage Done by Weeds In Times {
Prolonged Drought.

frOlOnse0 DrOuRuts
We are all aware of the fact that
weeds and grass consume the food which
should be devoted to the growing crop,
but even when the land is very rich, and
the soil contains enough for both the
crop and the weeds, the former soon
succumbs while the other flourishes.
This is because the soil can not provide
sufficient moisture for two crops at the
same time. Every plant that grows
takes up certain proportion of moist
ure, which is pumped into the stalks
and leaves, and the larger the growth.
and more numerous the plants, the
more moisture required. Nor do all
pump with the same rapidity, or with
the same quantity A strong, vigorous
weed. with roots running in every direc-
tion. will seize on all moisture within
its reach, to the detriment of
every plant within the compass
of its influence, and the result is that
the weaker plants perish because the
struggle for moisture is more than they
can endure, while the weeds, having
crushed out opposition, usurp the
ground and grow vigorously. Now,
the farmer who wishes to economize in
time of drought, must allow no moist
ure to be wasted on weeds. Nothing
should grow where plant is desired
but the plant itself. Very often there is
not enough moisture for a single plant,
and the presence of two lessons the
chances of both. Weeds, therefore, do
not always destroy plants by robbing
them of food, but by depriving them of
moisture, and the safest plan is to kill
them as soon as they appear. A day
may be too late. No well-regulated
farm should have weeds upon it, and if
they do appear make short work of
them and thus save the MOISTURE
Farm, Field and .Stocknldn.

LAFAYETTE'S ESCAPE.
How the Great Soldier and Philanthropist
Ran Away to Sea.

How the Great Soldier and Philanthropist
Ran Away to Sea.
One hundred and nine years ago, in
the month of February, 1777, young
French guardsman ran away to sea.
And most singular running away it
was. He did not wish to be sailor,
but he was so anxious to 60 that he
bought ship to run away in-for he
was very wealthy young man; and
though he was only nineteen, he held a
commission as Major-General in the
armies of land three thousand miles
away--a land he had never seen and the
language of which he could not speak.
The King of France commanded him to
remain at home; his friends and rela-
tives tried to restrain him; and even the
representatives, or agents, of the cOun-
try in defense of which he desired to
fight would not encourage his pur-
pose. And when the young man, while
dining at the house of the British Am
bassador to France, openly avowed his
sympathy with downtrodden people,
and his determination to help them gain
their freedom, the Ambassador acted
quickly. At his request the rash young
enthusiast was arrested by the French
Government, and orders were given to
seize his ship, which was awaiting HIM
at Bordeaux. But ship and owner both
slipped away, and, sailing from the
port of Pasajes in Spain, the runaway,
with eleven chosen companions, was
soon on the sea, bound for America.
nnd beyond the reach of both friends and
foes.
On April 20, 1777, he landed at tho
little port of Georgetown, at the mouth
of the Great Pee Dec river in South
Carolina; and from that day forward

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The de-
partment of agriculture makes the
area of spring wheat nearly the same
as last year, about twelve million
acres. There is an increase of one.
sixth of last years breadth in Dako
ia, decrease in Nebraska, and a
small reduction in Minnesota and
Wisconsin. The Illinois spring wheat
district shows a small advance. The
extension of area in Dakota is due
mainly to settlement and the neces
sity of ready money for improve
ments and somewhat to last year
unsatisfactory fax product in South
ern Dakota. The effect of low prices
of wheat has been counteracted by
tie superior rate of yield OF recent
years. The condition of spring wheat

Birds in the South.

Up to emancipation times, or rath

birds were plenty everywhere in
Georgia. During the years that fol
lowed freedom armed a race to
whom guns had been forbidden.
The negro became an enthusiastic
hunter, but was unskilled, and could
gratify his craze for destroying only

ger of total extinction at least of the
best of them.
