Weeds are classed as ANNALS, bien.
malls and perennials. Annual weeds
complete their existence In q single year
Hence when ANIMALS are prevented from
ripening their seeds upon any farm from
year to year the time must come when
that class of weeds will be completely
destroys Persistent warfare against
them for a single season would eradicate
them entirely were it not for the fact
that many seeds, from the nature of the
coating which contains the terminating
principle, have the power to resist decay
to such an extent that they may remain
10 the soil and retain their vitality for
several years. Animals should, therefore,
not only as far as possible be prevented
from maturing their seeds, but those
which have been overlooked and do ma
ture should by autumn cultivation be
induced to terminate that they be the
sooner destroyed.
Biennials complete the round of their
existence in two years and any method
that will prevent them from maturing
md reproducing seeds will in time de-
stroy them. Along roadsides AMI In
places seldom cultivated, cutting them
of frequently at the surface of the
ground will be the most effective method.
There are two classes OF ~perennials-
those reproduced from seeds only and
those also reproduced from root stalks.
The most effective method OF destroying
these pests is to smother them, by COM
pietely covering them with soil in the
period of their most active growth, or
n digging them up root and branch and
eaving them to dry and be burned.
In the Canadian provinces, weeds are
no ught to be on the increase, and pre-.
vail to such an extent that a lengthy bulI
letjn OF the Ontario Experiment Station
is wholly devoted to a description Of
some OF their most troublesome weeds,
together with successful methods, some!
Of which are here noted, employed in
destroying them.-Sew York World.

the Sib rian peasant does not own
the land which he c~ultiyates, and
therefore has no inducement to build
upon 1t. With very few exceptions
all OF the land In Siberia belongs
to the crown. The village COM
mune enjoys the usufruct Of the
land, but they do not have
legal title and cannot dispose OF 1t
nor reduce any part of 1t to individu-
al ownership. All that they have
power to do is to divide it up among
T. cir members by periodical allot-
ments and To give to each head of a
family a tenancy at will. Every time
there is an allotment the several
tracts OF arabic land held under the

Every one who has any experience in

there is in keeping cows clean. There
are many ways of arranging floors to this

necessary labor, aud c~omprehends that
no matter how successful he may DO in
this direction that his cows IRE I'm.
