Destroy the Weeds.

Now that the more arduous part OF the
labors of harvest are about over it would pay
every farmer to spend little time in exter-
minating noxious weeds on his premises.
Most weeds can be destroyed by persistently
cutting them down before they go to seed or
by blowing them UNDER but there are others
which increase and multiply by division of
their roots. The most troublesome and an
noying Of these are tie horse nettle and the
Canada thistle. When either of these OBJ
tains Judgment on farm it is difficult to
get rid oft. The roots possess so much vi
tality that the smallest piece, if allowed to
come into contact with the ground, will
throw out rootlets and start afresh on its
destructive career Ifcut down close to the
ground and covered with salt they can gen.
orally be destroyed, or few drops of sri-
phuric acid dropped on the freshly cut sur
face of the root would probably kill it.
Other weeds, such as the mullen, Sc, may
be exterminated by not allowing them to go
to seed. A single stalk of mullen will pro-
duce hundreds of thousands of minute seeds,
each one capable of producing rank plant
that will draw the substance from the soil.
The loss to farmers, therefore, by allowing,
as some farmers do their pasture fields to
become dotted over with these pests, is very
great.
This is the season for destroying weeds
and every farmer in Hartford county should
go to work at once and pull up and burn
every noxious weed on his premises The
labor, of course, would be very heavy on
many farms, but by persstently fighting
them for few years they might nearly all be
eradicated.
A law was passed by the Pennsylvania
Legislature, last year, forbiddng all citizens
of that State from allowing the Canada this
tie to 60 to seed on their premises. The fine
for disregarding the law is $15, TO be paid to
the school fund.
Here is a chance for some member of the
next Legislature of our State to win the
thanks and gratitude of every good farmer,
by securing the passage of a similar law for
Maryland.

The OleOmargarine Bill Again Under
Discussion,

The bill to tax oleomargarine or imitation
butter came up in the Senate on Monday and
was vigorously discussed
Senators Vance, Vest, Harris, Beck, Butler
and Ingalls, opposed the bill, while Senators
Edmunds, Evarts Van Wyck and Miller
spoke in its favor
A lively passage-at-arms took place between
Messrs. ingalls, and Miller. The former ridi-
culed the bill and exhibited avail which he
said contained coloring matter, made in Yer
mont, which was guaranteed TO add five cents
to every pound of Tpite butter made in the
winter time.
Mr.. Miller said that Mr.. ingalls, speech re-
minded him Of the speeches of vendors of bo-
gus jewelry heard by him when boy
Mr.. ingalls, retorted by charging that Mr.
Miller advocated the bill because he had the
strongest personal interest in the measure
Mr.. Miller replied, saying that he was
proud of the fact that he had been born and
reared on farm, and while he kept few
cows, and it was true that at some periods of
the year he made butter on his farm, and at
other periods of the year cheese. He had,
however, in his experiments for making
butter and cheese expended $40 for every
dollar which he got in return. But
whether this bill became law or not
not, it would not add one farthing to any
profit that he could possibly receive, for what
ever butter was made on his farm sold for a
price SO high that it was in no way affected
by the competition of oleomargarine, butter
ine or other bogus stuff.
The Senate listened to the speeches with
great interest. Senator Evarts endeavored
but without success, to fix an hour when the
vote should be taken.
Senator Wilson, of Maryland, is opposed to
the bill on constitutional grounds, but Senator
German favors it on account of the extensive
dairy interests of Maryland, which are seri-
ously affected by the unrestricted sale of imi-
tation butter.
The Senate, on Tuesday, on motion of Mr.
ingalls,, reduced the tax from five to two
ceAts per h., and the bill must, therefore, go
back to the House. The prospect of its uti-
mate passage is not very bright The section
as to penalty, as amended, reads as follows;
EVERY pers on who knowingly sells or
offers for sale, or delivers or offers to deliver,
any oleomargarine in any other form than in
new wooden or paper packages, as above de-
scribed, or who packs in any package any
oleomargarine in any manner contrary to
law, or who falsely brands any package or
affixes stamp on any package denoting a
less amount of tax than that required by law.
shall be fined for each offense not more than
one thousand dollars, and be imprisoned not
more than two years."

HEDGE AND WIRE FENCES.

AT the solicitation of the Maryland Hedge and
Wire Fence Company, with Captain Philpot, their
authorized agent for Hartford, we visited Freder-
lex, last week, for the purpose of inspecting the
hedges there growing, and ascertaining the re-
sponsibility of the company. We found there
the fences in various stages of development The
plants are raised very much as we raise peas, and
are not unlike them in their growth. After one
years growth in the nursery they are transplant
ed six inches apart, in rows, where the fence is
desired, on ground previously prepared. The
second and third years the necessary replanting
is done, and the fourth year the side roots are
cut, the canes bent to an angle of forty-five de-
grees and firmly secured in that position by means
of wire and staples This completes fence four
feet high, stock proof, ornamental and durable.
at a cost of one dollar and twenty-five cents per
perch, payable in four annual instaments. We
found there many old hedges. some of them of
twenty years growth, that had been reduced by
the new process and made as valuable as the new
ly grown fences. The fences are trimmed twice
year by the company for two cents perch
The company is composed of gentlemen of wealth
and high commercial honor and enjoy the conf
dence of the business men OF Frederick. many of
whom are personally known to us.

General Master Workman Powderly, of
the Knights of Labor, has declared unequi-
vocally that he would not accept the nomi-
nation for Governor of Pennsylvania were 1t
to come TO him unanimously, and he were
certain of its being ratified by his election
The Democrats of that State are looking
about for an available candidate. Ex-Sena-
tor Wallace seems to be growing in favor
and Lieutenant Governor Chauncey F. Black
has many friends who are anxious for his
nomination. The Prohibition and the Labor
elements, it is said, will enter largely into the
campaign in Pennsylvania this year, and the
Democrats, therefore, are constrained to be
exceedingly cautious in selecting their candi-
dates. The outlook for Democratic success,
under any circumstances, is not very favor
able, Blaine having carried the State by 80, 900
majority.

The Cr0nS In MARYLAND.

The July crop report of the Department OF
Agriculture says that the area of corn in this
State is only per cent below that of 1885,
while its condition is much below what it
ought to be, owing to late planting and ex-
cessive rains preventing its proper cultiva-
ton, though the weather has been peculiarly
suited to its growth
The report of the corn crop from the sew
eral counties is as follows:
Maryand-Harfard Very backward, owing
to excessive rain Garrett Too wet for corn.
Kent: Looks fine, some late planted. Queen
Anne's: Planting was much retarded by Excess
sive rain; very small, but stand is good. Tai
bot: Doing well except on clay soils, where it
turns yellow. Wicomico: Stalks are full of
sap, and the crop will be injured by a dry spell,
as it is very tender. Anne Arundel: Farm
work is retarded by frequent and copious rains
and the corn is very backward. Caroline Do
ing we'll, and promises large crop. Worces-
ter: Not SO good cause, excess of moisture.
Prince Georges: Damaged by heavy and fire.
quent rains in many sections farmers have fail
ed to plant their entire crop: Cecil: Backward
late, owing to wet good on high land, but poor
on bottoms. Somerset: Poorly cultivated,
owing to excessive rain, and below average con-
dition. Calvert: bad stand. St. Mary's :
Backward from surplus rain
The following is given as to the condition
of wheat in Maryland:
The wheat crop of the State does not quite
answer the full expectation before reported,
owing to storms and incidental occurrence of
insect depredatons, &c, but 1t is good. Oats
are reported as very fine, and will, beyond
doubt, be large crop. The present condition
of potatoes Is excellent and promising. Glover
Is excellent The same may be said of timothy
and other crops for hay. Pastures are also very
fine.
