Weeds.

Yes, weeds. Weeds long, short,

cumbent; weeds ascending, weeds
descending; weeds struggling,
weeds triumphant; weeds On our
lawns, weeds in our gardens, and
to crown ell, to out do all previous

Indeed, our noble and worthy

previous efforts ct weed culture.
A Hooker, or the genius of
Gray would be taxed to classify
and enumerste the bright and sra
grant fora of our pleasant city.
In many quarters of our city it
appears to be perpetual struggle
for the survival of the fttest-
weeds or bipeds; and, from pres
ent indications in may quarters,
the weeds will be the Survivors.
Judging from the variety,
amount, and extent OF our city
weeds, we must conclude that the
old Armstrong moving machine
is obsolete, and thats enterpfislng

cent.
Men WHO possess cultivated
tastes, good properties and pleas
ant homes are letting the gorgeous
green squadrons OF our streets &c

How enchanting, how eutranc-
ng is the prospect, when the

odorous "dog-fennel, and the

with smoot weed npl Spanish
needles
Now in all sobriety, if we, as
citizens have not enterprise aud
back bone enough to get rid OF
our weeds, it should be- done by
the city authorities at the expense
of the property holders.

The Clever Scheme Of q Fox for Securin
Prev.

The Clever Scheme of Fox for Securing
Prey.
A huntsman in Norway one day OBJ.
served fox cautiously approaching the
stump of an old tree. When near
CROUCH, the fox jumped up on top OF
it. and after looking around awhile,
hoped down to the ground again.
After Reynard had repeated this feat
several times, he went his way In q
short time he returned to the spot,
carrying in his mouth pretty large and
heavy piece of wood. AS If to test his
vaulting powers, he renewed his leaps
on the stump, keeping the stick in his
mouth Finding that even with this
weight he could jump up quite easily,
he dropped the piece of wood, and coll
ing himself up on the top of the stump,
remained motionless as if dead. Some
time after, an old sow, with a number
of young ones, came out of the wood,
and passed the spot were the fox lay.
Two of the little pigs having fallen be-
hind the others. the fox pounced down
on one Of them, seized it in his mouth,
and sprang up again to his tree-stump.
On hearing her little one cry, the old
SOW came rushing back to its assist
ance, and spent the greater part of the
night in vain attempts to reach Reynard.
He. however, took the matter very coolly,
devouring his prey under the very nose
of its mother, which was at length
obliged to move off without being able
to avenge herself.-Chicago Journal

FARM NOTES:

Lack of gravel or gritty material is
nearly always the cause of the fowls
getting crop-bound
Ducks should always have dry quar-
tiers at night if they are to be kept
thrifty and healthy.
BY hauling out manure as soon as
made. if any teaches out the soil will
retain and be benefited by it
During the summer is the best time
to arrange the winter quarters for the
poultry and to determine the number
that is to be kept.
Ducks should not be fed too much
grain. They will thrive better and keep
in better health if given plenty Of
coarse. bulky foods. such as potatoes,
turnips, cloves and materials of that
kind.
Wait until the fowls are we'll matured
before determining the makeup of the
breeding pens. by studying the char
acteristics of the different fowls intend

better results will be obtained
While in many cases growing oats for

profitable, yet if properly managed for
feed they are good1crop to raise 1t
is important, however, in managing
them to cut, cure, store and feed out in
a way that will secure the best quality
of feed and the least waste.
One advantage with clover is that or
dinarily the first crop is a profitable
one to grow for hay, and if cut at the
right stage there will be a second crop
that can be pastured, cut for hay, be
allowed to mature seed or be plowed
under as green fertilizer. II to ma
ture seed, it should not be pastured.
Let it grow until nearly all of the heads
have turned brown, then cut
While the clover straw. after thresh-
ing, will not be so valuable for feed as
if cut earlier, it is well worth saving
for feed and for bedding. The yield
averages from three to eight bushels
per acre, five or SIX being considered
a good yield. With fair yield the
crop is profitable. 1t can be threshed
with a common machine, but cleaner
and better results will be secured by
using a clover huller, built especially
for the work.
The successful farmer will be an in
telligent business man; he will have
system and order in his farm manage
ment, and he will be as methodical in
his farm records as the merchant in his
business. He will regard the adage
that 'time is money" The successful
farmer is also progressive; his knowl-
edge of the improvements of the age
inspire him to seize upon every means
of doing work cheaper and better, thus
enabling him to produce at the least
possible cost He allows old ways and
methods to pass away, and accepts the
modern measures which science has
taught us.
