Weed. IN the Garden.

Almost every person who plants a garden
forms a resolution at planting time that he
will 80 thoroughly cultivate his crops that the
weeds shall have no chance TO grow, but when
the crops get up, far too many permit the
weeds to take the lead, and make no effort to
eradicate them until they have very nearly
taken possession of the, garden then, to
save the crop from entire destruction. the
weeds, after great labor, are partially destroy
ed, and the crop is very suddenly let out into
the open sunshine. Some of the plants will
wilt and die others slowly recover, to, in
short time, be again Overshadowed by weeds.
garden thus managed never amounts to
much it is neither pleasure nor profit to
the owner. There is another class who do
not 80 easily forget their good resolutions, but
as soon as the crop is above ground they be-
gin the battle with the weeds and keep the
garden in good order until the middle or last
Of July, when they think the crops have ad-
vanced far enough to prevent any injury by
weeds this is true of the early crops, but
the late crops when August comes will be
overrun with weeds and the others very badly
injured, yet the loss of the crop is very slight
when compared to the injury of the garden
by filling the soil with weed seeds to an extent
that it will take years to exterminate them.
This mistake is practiced to such an extent
that the rule is gardens are filled with weed
seeds of almost every variety, so that it Is
only by the most persistent effort that the
weeds can be kept down sufficient to get half
a crop Of vegetables. This is all wrong and
unnecessary. An old garden should be free
from weed seeds, and would be in a few years
it properly managed. The gardener should
make up his mind to keep up the battle with
the weeds until cold weather sets in. In this
way he will prevent any new seeds from get
ting into the soil, and soon all of the old ones

Agricultural,


Two weeks without rain, including one
week Of intensely warm weather, followed the
delightful days Of June, in which rain and
sunshine came so near perfect proportion.
The beginning Of the drought found the soil
and the crops in so good condition that up TO
this date the injury to the crops has been less
than would ordinarily be caused by 80 many
hot and rainless days at this season. No crop
has been greatly injured unless growing on a
dry or shallow soil. The hay crop would
have been little heavier with rain during
the first part Of July, but the most of It has
been secured in prime condition, the weather
never having been better for curing hay
and, while the quality is good, the quantity
is considerably above an average. Reports
indicate an increase Of the hay crop in the
New England states generally We have rea-
son to rejoice when we have a good crop Of
grass for hay and pasture, for these are Of
more value than all our other crops. The
census of 1880 makes the value of all the
farm productions of Vermont, sold, consum'
ed or on hand 500, 600, 600, OF which the hay
crop alone, estimating it at $40 per ton, is
nearly one. half, and the value Of the pasturage
might be reckoned at half rs much more.

w hoIesomeness Of Dried Fruit Fumed
with sulphur.

The Rural New Yorker has the following
as it true that dried fruit fumed with sui
phur is in any way unwholesome, or usually
obnoxious to any sense In some cases pos
sibly the fruit may be over-sulphured so that
some of the mineral may condense upon it
and affect its flavor, but the grocers say they
have not heard and do not know Of any such
a case, or Of any objection being brought
against the bleaohed 'schnitts' ln other
lines sulphur is found very beneficial espeo-
tally in destroying minute life that often i'm
peris or distresses our own as in throat and
nose and skin diseases. Miners consider the
presence of sulphur in a mine especially
healthful and in cider and wine countries the
practice of pouring the liquor into vessels fill
cd with sulphur fumes in order to bar germs
of mold and of ferment, and to reduce the
amount of oxygen included, is 80 old and so
extensive as to have q special word in the lam
gusge to express 1.-THE verb to Stun The
American dispensary attributes no harmful
effect to sulphur taken inwardly in the usual
Dose"
Fuming with sulphur, we believe, greatly
improves both the flavor and wholesomeness
of dried fruits, especially of evaporsted ap-
ple il the Tuning is not excessive. Sulphur
has, however, no properties in common with
the sulphurous acid gas which does the
bleaching. The latter is chemical product
of the combustion of sulphur in the atmos
phere, and is entirely unlike either of its
component elements, sulphur and oxygen
1t is a transparent, colorless gas, with pun
gent, suffocating odor and a sour taste. 1t il
composed OF two equivalents of oxygen ant
one of sulphur. In the process Of bleaching
fruit part of the sulphurous acid may TAXI
another equivalent of oxygen from thu
moisture or water which the fruit contains
and become changed from sulphurous to sui
phuric acid but we are not aware that chem
lists have found it present in evsporated frui
in sufficient quantity to be harmful. In di
luted state sulphuric acid is used as tonic il
medicine. With one or two drops in o glss
of water pleasant drink may be made re
sembling lemonade diluted with only al
equal part of water, sulphurio acid corrode
and destroys all animal and vegetable sub
stances yet it is necessary part of plant
and their fruit, and, in the combinations il
which it is there found, is needtul, rathe
than unwholesome, as animal food. Tn
same is true OF many other substances whic
in a pure or concentrated form are poisons.

The Highway Cow.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
One horn turned up and the other turned down.
She was keen of Vision and long OF limb
With Roman nose and u short stump tail,
Aud ribs like the hoops of homemade pail.
Many mark did her body bear;
She had been target for ali things known;
On many a scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where 1t once had grown ;
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left on her lasting spot.
Many aud many a well.almed stone
Many brickbat Of good size,
And many cudgel swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her loving eyes,
or had bounded OF from her bony back
With noise like the sound Of a rife crack
Many day she had passed in the pound
For helping herself to her neighbor's corn;
Many cOwardly cur aud hound
Had been transf1ed on her crumpled horn
Many teapot aud old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her timeworn tail.
Old Deacon Gray was good old man.
Though sometimes tempted to be profane
When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out of the growing grain;
Sharp were the pranks she used to play
To get her NIL and to get away.
She knew when the deacon went to town;
She watched him wisely as he went by;
He never passed her without fruwn
And savage CLEAN in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in a surly way,
And drive along In his one-hoss shay.
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with crumpled horn,
Nimbly scaling the garden wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn,
Eating his cabbages one by one
HurryiDg home when her work was done.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And, strding forth with a savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes
AZ lghtnings fash from the summer sky;
Redder and redder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would 60.
over the garden, round aud round.
Breaking his pear and apple trees,
Trampling his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hive of bees,
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrunC.
The MOSES grew the garden wall,
The years went by with their work and play
The boys in the village grew strong aud tall,
Aud the gray-haired farmers passed away,
One by one, as the red leaves fall;
But the highway COW outlved them all.
