A New Weed That May Become Oreat
Pest-Its Origin.
In August, 1879, Professor Lester T. Ward,
while returning from hunting excursion in
the North Woods, discovered near Carthage,
NY, a new variety of hieracium (house
lesk) of which he obtained two specimens.
The next day, after long search, he found
on farm at Evans Mills-a small village
about ten miles from Watertown-large COZ
onies of the same plant. The individuals
were many Of them smaller and slenderer
than, but there was no doubt they were of
the same snecies as the snecinens secured the

the specimens and remarked 10 his com
panion that unless the farmers of that region

TARIFF AND wAGES'-A Novel Dis

falo, \. Y, the very original and interest
ing dialogue discussion between PAUL Ia
young GRADUATED AND HIS FATHER" an
American farmer, which appeared serially
three years ago in The american Rurdl
Home, and attracted wide attention. The
ia her is a thor. ughly well posted man of
affairs, who is theoretically free-trader,
but practically, as an American, strong
defender of a judicious tariff. He thus
treats both sides very fairly and gives
each, in the dialogue, chance to be
heard. He dl cusses general principles
and under his theory that selfishne> s
must be the secret of success of inteina-
tional commercial policy, and self sacrifice
the secret of success in national com.
mercial policy, he makes out strong de-
Tense of simple protection. In the mat
ter of wages, he holds that wages begins
and ends with production, as he holds,
then a judicious tariff maintains the
source of wages This book makes men
and boys thu k. 1t unfolds the dark
mysteries of the tariff simply and should
have wide reading. Mr.. Elliott, as ad-
