Notice TO Pathmasters.

The law to prevent the spread of Canada
thistles Is stringent one, as will be seen
by reading its provisions, which are given
below.
SECTION 1.-The People of the State of
Michigan enact, That II shall be the duty OF
every owner, pOssessOr or Occupier Of land,
to cut, or cause to be cut down, all the
Canada thistles growing thereon, or on the
highway passing by or through the same,
so often in each and every year as shall be
sufficient to prevent them going to seed; and
II any owner, p0ssessOr or Occuper of land
shall, knowingly, suffer any such Canada
thistles to grow thereon, and the seed to
ripen, so as to cause or endanger the spread
ing thereof, he shall, on conviction, be liable
to fine of ten dollars for every such Offense.
SEC. At shall be the duty of the over
seer of highways i'm any township to see
that the provisions of this act shall be car
ried out I'm their respective highway districts
| and they shall give notice to the owner,
pos essOr or Occupier of any land within
said district wherein Canada thistles shall
be growing and in danger Of going to seed,
requiring him to cause the same to be cut
down within five days from the service of
such notice, and in case such owner, pos
SCISSOR or Occupier shall refuse or neglect to
cut down the said Canada thistles, the over
seer of highways shall enter upon the land
and cause all such Canada thistles to be cut
down with as little damage to growing crops
as may be, and shall not be liable to be sued
in any action of trespass therefor: Provided
that when Canada thistles are growing upon
nonresident lands it shall not be necessary
to give notice before proceeding to cut down
the same.
Sec. 5.-Any person who shall knowingly
vend any grass or other seed, among which
there is any seed of the Canada thistle, shall
for every such Offense, upon conviction, be
liable to fine of twenty dollars.
Sec. cit shall be the duty of the prose-
cutting attorney of the county to prosecute
all violations of the provisions of this act
which shall come to his knowledge.
Sec. Every overseer of highways who
shall refuse or neglect to discharge the
duties imposed on him by the provision of
this act shall be liable to a fine of twenty
five dollars: Provided that the provisions of
this act shall be published In pamphlet form,
and ten copies thereof forwarded to the
supervisor of each township In this state.
1t seems strange that any farmer would
allow these pests to spread over his fields,
and it certainly does not show very neigh
borly spirit to refuse to cut them down be-
fore they seed the fields of others who object
to the pest. If any further information is
desired, call upon the prosecuting attorney.

the name of Geo. ii. Dutton, of Woodruff,
will be presented to the convention backed
by solid delegation from his own town and
many delegates in that portion of the county.
Mr.. Dutton is capable, energetic young

strongly urge his selection to-day. The

Irish Potatoes, Pears and Peaches.
In the Irish potato tests last year at the
Alabama experimental station (Auburnl
| only nine varieties were included. These
we're:
Burbank Seeding.
/ Peerless.
| White Star.
| Early Sunrise.
Beauty OF Hebron.
Charles Downing.
Empire State.
Houghton Rose.
Southern Grown Early Rose.
| The four aforementioned proved to be the
most productive, each of them yielding over
/ 800 bushels per acre.
| The comment is briefly made as follows:
The soil upon which the potatoes were
| grown is sandy and dry. aud yet nulching
between the rows proved injurious appar-
emily. The half or fat bed culture produced
100 bushels per acre, more than the mulched.
The season OF growth was sufficiently moist
without the mulch it appears.
| The Peerless alone was used to demon
strate the difference in value of the size of
the cuttings The yield was much the
smallest with one-eye cuttings. Cuttings
| with two eyes produced nearly so per cent.
/ more than the one eye. The whole seed
size not given produced the largest yield
| giving l54 bushels more per acre than the
one-eye cuts, which of course more than
| justified the additional expense Of seed. So
much for the one test.
The same station gives the following note
on pears:
or the Oriental varieties tested, from
paintings March, 1885, the Keiffer and Lee
Conte are the most valuable. The Kelffer
| commences to bear at four years from
planting. and bears annual crops Of very
large pears, which ripen late in September
when fruit is scarce. Though the fruit grades
only good. its reliability as to healthful-
ness of the trees aud Size of the fruit reuder
it especially desirable.
Another feature In its favor is the fact
that it flowers late, and hence escapes spring
frosts. which destroy the fruit on the Lee
Conte and others.
The LeConte is a more vigorous grower
than the Keiffer. and when it escapes frost
bears an immense crop OF very attractive
fruit which sells we'll, though grading only
| good" The principal objection, the direc-
tor says, TO this variety is its habit of very
early blooming, which renders it quite unre-
liable as a crop producer.

Sand, CARRIERS Hybrid, Large Duchess
Smiths Hybrid-have nothing to recon-
mend them except their vigorous growth
