Neighbor's Weed Patches.

We know of nothing more aggra-
waiting to the tidy farmer than is the
sight of a weed patch just over the
fence, fiourishing and seeding with
all IMMUNITY upon the neighbours
field. The one farm may be relig-
iously cleaned of every noxious weed
at the cost of much work and ex-
pense, while all the, time neighbor
LaZybones is raising fresh supply to
perpetuate the process Of eradication
for the next five years. Strange to
say also that the fence between farms
seems to be the dirtiest place in the
township. Even the lazy man makes
at least show of cleaning the face
Of his farm, so to speak, but persists
in keeping the background unattend-
ed to. The well-tilled, productive,
attractive farm of the industrious,
intelligent farmer is constant eye
sore to his shiftless neighbor, and the
latter is far too apt to leave weeds
purposely near the boundary line
fence, in order that they may lessen
the wide difference in the appearance
of the fields We know this may seem
a somewhat mean thing TO say, but it is
true; we could quote cases where spite
has induced neighbors to allow weeds
TO grow unmolested so as to smut"
the fields adjacent. Now what shall
the tidy farmer do in the premises?
Shall he make a law unto himself,
enter upon his neighbor's land and
NOW down the weeds? Certainly one
is sorely tempted to do this, but the
law will not allow. The farmer
should try the effect of kindly call
upon his neighbor and moderate per-
suasion. II this does not lead to the
desired results, other means must be
adopted, for the farmer must be pro-
tected. According to the law of the
State Of Illinois, it is within the
power Of corporate towns ito prevent
the introduction, growing, or dissem-
ination of Canadian thistles or nox-
ious weeds, and to allow rewards for
their destruction, aud to raise money
therefor" There is also law author
iZing the appointment in each town.

Thistles," whose duty it shall be to
cause the eradication of such pests.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
thrifty farmer can have recourse to
law in protecting his farm against the
bad effects of his neighbours weed
patches. and we advise him to use
this power whenever necessary

qualities of butter depend upon GER
tain conditions which are liable to
occur in any manufacture. In the
first place, unless the gaseous matter
is fairly we'll removed, there Will be
likely to occur some fermentation
which will render the butter rancid.
Second, the degree OF warmth or
temperature OF the air In which the
packages are left may also affect
the keeping qualities Third, the
amount and quality of the salt
used operates as a condition affect
ing keeping qualities. Fourth, the
amount OF moisture left In butter
may affect its keeping qualities. In
the manufacture of butter, the aim
should be to eliminate all the decay
ing elements, care in sailing and In
its subsequent handling, IL the best
success is to be secured. But it must
be remembered that other elements
enter into the question OF successful
butter making. The feed and care OF
animals. the condition Of the stable,
care and cleanliness in. milking.
When the stable is SO neglected that
the udders of the cows are coated
with manure, that in milking is con-
tinually>dropping into the milk, and
no care taken in the other steps pur-
sued, 1t may be expected there will
be produced kind Of butter that will
hardly keep, and for which there will
be no very active demand. We have
seen an article in the market called
butter, marbled with the Gaseous
matter, that we should put to no
higher purpose than that of making

Marking Cattle.

AS soon after a calf is dropped as
convenient or practicable a correct
description of particular markings or
noticeable features should be re-
corded in book kept for the purpose.
The name and number of the sire
and dam should, says the Indiana
Farmer, be recorded together with
the date OF the calf's birth, any
markings that appear on the body or
head, color of tongue and switch
Shade of color of hair is not reliable
as this changes with growth in some
breeds, notable with Jerseys, but the
white is permanently, and so long as
the animal lives the markings of
white will remain unchanged. This
gives truthful and lasting proof of
identity that can under no contin-
gency be changed, unlike the tag
which will be torn out of the ear by
accident, thus depriving the owner
of the means Of identity upon
which he has placed his dependence,
and rendering recognition and identi-
flcation matter of conjecture. No
one who is adapted for the raising
and care of live stock and who de-
votes his time and talents in that di-
rection, with sincere desire to sue
coed, will fail TO acquire faculty Of
distinguishing the animal Of his herd
at any stage of growth, no matter how
closely they may resemble each other
or how difficult the task might APP
pear to a strange eve that looks upon
them for the FIRST time.

The Future for Small Fruit.

What is the outlook for profit from
strawberries in the futures is Ques-
tion often asked. During the five or
six years previous to 1890 very little
money was made in the business.
Although the crops averaged small,
the acreage was so large that the
markets were we'll supplied at only
moderate prices. The causes which
led to this state of things were that
from 1880 to 1886 every agricultural
and horticultural journal in the coun-
try had constantly urged farmers to
raise small fruits. Besides this hun
dreds of nurserymen, in their anxiety
to sell plants, had enormously over
estimated the profits. This, together
with the depressed state of farming
in other departments, led to an over
production and consequently lower
prices. A great reaction then came
and large numbers of growers became
discouraged and left the field. The
acreage was so reduced that those of
us who stuck made large profits in
1890.
From these facts, what may be ex-
pected in the future? Simply this.
fair prices for year or so, followed
by few years of oyerproduction and
lower prices. 1t is a law OF natural
philosophy that II you move the
pendulum very far from the perpen-
dicular line on one side, on its return
it will reach a point nearly as far
from the line on the opposite side. /
reason that the large profits of 1890
and OF '91, together with the de-
pressed state of farming in other
branches, will so stimulate produc-

ness for the next two or three years
The only profit must be looked for in
the direction OF cheapened production
and Improved quality. would say
to those who are about to start in the
small fruit business, don't try to
make fruit a catch crop, or fruit

every other business, the most sue

A LIE we'll stuck to may attain current
belief. but can never become a truth.
The Mugwumps and certain class of
Republican newspapers have so often
repeated the stale slander, that Senator
Hill was the cause of Cleveland's loss of
the state of New York in 1888, that they
assume an air OF offended dignity when
any one questions it. Everybody knows
that Cleveland ran behind in New York
because he appointed a Republican
as postmaster of that city. 1t
was to be supposed that so
unheard of an abandonment of patron
age to the Republican party should
have had a reactionary effect at the
polls, or that Hill should have run
ahead of Cleveland in the city where he
had lndulged in 80 peculiar kind of
politics. But it was not alone in New
York city where Cleveland ran behind
Hill. In Buffalo, where he formerly
lived and was widely known, Harrison
had a majority of 1850 over Cleveland ,
whilst Hill had majority of 1000 over
his competitor. That ought to satisfy
even the most prejudiced mind that
Cleveland had nobody to blame but him
self for the paucity OF his vote in New
York.
