PERNIcIous WEEDS.
How Their Seeds Are Scattered by the Cola
Winds of Winter.

How Their Seeds Are Scattered by the Cola
Winds of Winter.
There is a kind of winter seeding
not generally entering into the plan of
the average farmer. Winter is in
thought associated with period Of
rest and comparative death in the
vegetable world. The winter wheat
lies dormant in its frozen bed beneath
the white blanket of fallen snow, and
the ears of corn selected for next
springs seeding are stored out of the
reach Of the mice in the crib. All
meadow and pasture land sleep on
until Weakened by the silent quicken
ing of the spring. Nevertheless there
is a work going forward through the
short days and long nights of the Sc
we're months in the dead OF winter.
Every gust of wind that hurries by
the street corner and dies away in
momentary calm; every giant gale
which comes down from the frozen
North and sweeps whole States with
bosom of relentless. fury, may carry
with it the germs of weeds and deposit
them in some secure place where the
spring sun finds and quickens them
into new life.
All sowings are not confined to the
newly-harrowed field or the rich and
mellow garden. If it were so, farming
and gardening would be a less serious
matter than it is, Many seeds like
those of the dreaded Canada thistle
are provided with light, feathery ap-
pendages by which the ripened seeds
take long flights in the upper air like
SO many miniature balloons. Other
plants. as the burdock and begger's
lice, rely for transportation upon the
passing animals to which they adhere
by hooks, thus stealing ride. Others
still are left without any special struct-
ure for migration, and must therefore
depend in part upon the fayoring con-
ditions of winter. The various sorts oil
tumble weeds break up into number
of parts, or by decay of the main
stem at its union with the soil the
whole plant is set free and blown BY
the wind where it listeth. There are
many weeds which remain upright
with their seed-bearing portion above
the fallen snow and when the smooth
crust of ice forms over all. the seeds,
1oosened by the elements, are blowr
for miles over the frozen surface only
TO find Judgment in some ditch, hollow
or other place of safety. This help,
to explain how marvelously weeds
spring up in cultivated ground. -
