TO SUBDUE WEEDS.

How to Keep the Farm Clear of Obnox-
ious Plant Growths.
One important point in keeping a
farm clear from weeds is to see that
these germs are not imported in pur-
chased seeds. Weeds are often intro
duced by the farmers own animals.
Horses that have been fed at the town
stables, and cattle that have been al
lowed to forage on the highways, may
each be the means of bringing obnox-
ious weeds onto the farm. For the
hoed crops clean cultivation is the an
tidote. Cut the weeds off at the sur
face of the ground at time when they
are at their best, that is at the time of
Towering. and before the seed has
grown sufficient to terminate. This is
the best method of dealing with seeds
where they have become a pest in
meadows and pastures. In the latter
sheep are very efficient weed destroy
ers, as they will browse closely many
varieties that cattle will not touch.
In some countries it is said there are
fields entirely free from weeds, owing
to very high cultivation and careful Sc
lection of seeds and manures- Such re-
suits are not to be expected in this
country, and we shall continue to have
weeds as heretofore, but they can be
kept in such subsection as to reduce
their injurious effects to a minimum.
Where they serve no better use, they at
least give evidence of the soils fertil-
ity- Unless rich ground is closely COW
cred with useful plants it is quite GER
tain to produce weeds. Nothing sur
passes clover for s1nothering weeds II
sown thickly, and stock is kept off
from II after the moving, SO that some

be scattered it viii gain complete po-

taste being bestowed on the bending of

with undulating brim and rosettes of
velvet in three harmonious colors, two
large ones being grouped in front and a
smaller one at the back. The same is
carried out in black Italian Tuscan
straw, forming a sort of large rosette
on the head and trimmed with colored
velvet or crepe de Chine rosettes.
Another is in white Tuscan. with
dark green. pink and gray rosettes.
These bonnets are remarkably smart on

strings. A Eiennese bonnet in slate

black piece velvet, plped with pale blue,
