Bushes and Weeds on the Farm.
Country Gentlemen.

II seems a very strange thing that our
farmers should allow so many bushes,
shrubs and weeds to be growing along
on public highways and in other conspic-
nous places on their farms. What bad
effect it has on the appearance of a mans
farm! So small an expense would be
required in removing them all! CAN'T be
that some farmers want their farms to
revert to wilds? They all the time receive
no profit from them, but they have to pay
taxes on them. l can not see why it is
that farmers sometimes increase the &C
reage of their land. They do not see the
extent of land which might, with large
profits, be brought under control, and
produce more on a small area with less
labor, and without extra taxes and costs.
Farmers are careless, and try to do
great deal without doing it well. If they
had only considered it in time they would
have been the first to exclaim against the
folly of refraining from doing thing
which could be done so easily, and which
was of so much importance.
All will agree with me when / say that
if the highway is simply moved every
year clear up to the fence, no weeds will
grow there as a general thing but no
grass, on the other hard, will take their
place, and cause as beneficial supply as
any part of the farm. Everyone knows
to well for me to express it, that weeds
and bushes can not live where they are
regularly moved each year. Every one
who has any sense of propriety will be
struck with the folly of so moving a field
that when the central part is cut for
harvest, streak will be left along the
fence which is not moved. Let me say to
every farmer who has not mown up to
his fences fully this year, or who has
bushes and coarse weeds growing along
them, which are in consequence of that
space not having been mown in years
back, to do so this year; NOV every one
of those weeds and bushes, and do not
fail to do this every year, and in a few
years he will have no bushes along his
fences, and every inch of his farm will
pay and look better.
At the time of haying is the proper
season of the year to cut these coarse
weeds and bushes, and if cut every year
at this time they are sure to be killed. All
the larger bushes and shrubs are gener-
ally destroyed by being cut at this time,
'AAtNbiA va } ENAoAStSA1h ~ = AOhNil - Nub ~
any other time of the year; moving them
now generally kills or reduces their vital
ity to the lowest point. Cutting these
bushes at this time of the year, ana then
if they start up at all, throw some dry
weeds or bushes on their stubs, setting
fire to them when the new sprouts have
made their appearance, has generally
ample effect to destroy them. In this
way. with small labor, the farm will be
freed of its inconvenience, and the clear
ed fields and woodlands will stand
separate and in their proper places.

lngers0ll on Music.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Colonel lngersol thinks that we have
made great progress in music in this
country, and declares that we are coming
to an era in music which appeals to the in
tellect. He is pretty severe uopn the dra-
matte and musical critics of New York.
and says there is no genuine musical crit
icism to be found there. In talking about
the drama he declared his admiration for
men of intellect to lead him first Of all TO
pay homage to Shakespeare, waom he re-
CARDS as the most wonderful delineator
of human passions the world has ever
known. Speaking of music he said: "The
first form ofmusic is that which appeals
to the heels. 1t is merely regularity of
sound. As it is lower or higher in tone
or quicker or faster in movement il APP
peals to the senses in greeter OF lesser
degree.
"Then there is music of association.
Persons learn to associatiate national
air with their feelings of patriotism. A
man may like tune because his mother
sang it or because he heard it in the old
home days. But there is higher music
than all this which appeals to the great
intellectual force i'll man, by which they
are led TO forget themselves and all the
surroundings, and are carried away to
realms of thought from which they
would be glad never to return. This is
the best music of all, and the music in
which they are making great progress
in this country more rapidly than in any
country on the face of the globe"
