The writer has recently noticed
along several country roads bunch
es of tickle grass that have been
pulled from adjoining fields and
thrown into the drive-wavs, suppos-
eddy for the purpose of preventing
the weed from going to seed in the
meadows. This is, to say the least,
a pernicious practice, and one to be
discouraged at all times. The pest
is one of those introduced plants
that has found a congenial climate
and soil, and it enjoys hardness
and grows with a vigor that prom
ises permanent residence if left un-
disturbed.
There seems to be no royal road
TO the subjugation Of the plant.
Nature has provided it with every
means for distribution and self-per-
petuatiOn. The heads break into
fifty or seventy-five separate pieces,
each containing a fertile seed.
Each piece is provided with slender
awns, giving it buoyancy when pro-
PEELED by the wind; there are barbs
also, which serve to force it into the
soil, or cause it to remain fastened
to the coats of passing animals.
Furthermoi the seeds are advanc-
ed in their development by the time
the heads appear; consequently,
simply pulling and casting aside
the plants, even when apparently
young, is of little or no avail.
1t will be seen that throwing the
plants into the road in every way
assists the distribution of dreaded
weed. 1t would seem that the only
reliable mode of procedure is to
pull and burn the plants in Spring,
before the head appears.

serve to supply any deficiency in
that direction. Growing animals
and milk cows are always benefited
by foods that contain an abundance
of mineral matter.
Always broadcast fertilizers il
possible. Plants feed more from
their root extermities than at the
base of each. A handful of fertili-
ger placed within the diameter of a
few inches around a plant is not
easily utilized. By broadcasting
the fertilizer it is seized by hun
dreds of rootlets as fast as the rain
dissolve it, while the proportion OF
soluble matter is also largely in
breased.
1t is more profitable to spread
manure thickly than to attempt to
cover a large surface with limited
supply. One of the causes of poor
crops is that the plant food is d.
vided among too many plants in
stead of giving each full ration.
There should be no hesitation in
concentrating the manure on a
small area, and if the supply is in
sufficient for the purpose use fertili-

1t is stated that Al out of every
100 persons in the United States
are agriculturists, sc in Canada, 4S
in France, II in Germany and 7 in
England.
Experiments in seeding oats in
dictate that eight pecks per acre is
about the correct amount of seed to
use; the largest yield of grain being
derived from that quantity on the
land.
Shropshire sheep have performed
great service in improving the COM
mon focks, but the best mutton
breed is conceded to be the South
down, though it is not as large in
size as the Shropshire.
Any farmer can improve his
crops by selecting seed from the
best specimens every year. Variety
largely influences the yields, and
the best varieties are the results of
careful selection of seed from the
most perfect plants.
The value of farming land in this
country is the greatest in New Jer-
sey. In 1888 it averaged: New Jer-
sey, $65; Massachusetts, $50; Ohio,
$46; New York, $44; Vermont, 1876;
Maryland, $32; Wisconsin, $23, and
in some Western States less than
So per acre.
Bran and linseed meal should be
used occasionally, if for no other
reason than that of affording a
change of diet. Such foods are also
rich in the material elements and

FARM Notes.
Garden Tactics.


The gardner who does up all his
planting at once to get it oft his
hands, like bad job, makes mis-
take. One of the chief advantages
of private garden is that, properly
managed, it may easily be made to
yield its various products, not all at
single moment, but in gradual
succession, so that when gathered
for the table they will always be at
their best, neither too ripe nor yet
immature.
This result, of course, is only at
tanned by making successive plant
ings of each article-peas, sweet
corn, shell beans, lettuce, etc,-for
a few of the early vegetables will
remain long at their best when ready
for use. In gardens made by con-
tract it may not always be easy to
obtain the best management of all
this. but an amateur should not
neglect so obvious an opportunity
for the exercise OF that skill wherein
lies large part of the charm of his
work.
Having once prepared the avail
able ground, the mere planting is a
thing of so little labor that it may
easily be attended to whenever nee
essary for the proper result, and it
should be done at intervals of a
week or ten days until completed.
Two or more paintings of some early
variety of sweet corn, like Crosby's,
for instance, should be succeeded by
Others of late variety, the first of
which should be made contempO-
rary with the last planting of the
earlier sort.
Nothing suffers more from over
maturity than corn and peas, and
the garden, when large enough,
should always be made to afford
these delicious vegetables at just the
moment of their perfection. Lettuce
ought to be sown every two weeks
through the Summer; it may thus
be had, with little care, from June
to November, we'll headed and in
excellent condition, and few veg
etables are more healthful or more
grateful, especially during the hot
months.
The same result can often be Oh
tanned in a measure with the small
fruits, where there is sufficient space
to maneuver properly. There are,
for instance, both early and late
varieties of the strawberry, and
these natural differences may be
some what enlarged artifically by
planting where sun and soil favor
early or late maturing.

The referendum Of all Legislation Of

The exclusion of European criminal
and pauper labor, and the making of

as treason against the national govern
ment
Secretary Of State Osborn, who has

The purpose of this organization is
for the protection of American citizens

also a special feature of the purpose Of
the organization.
