the weed question. He talks clear,

Editors OF the PloNEEs Exrsns.
Toilette, N. d. June. 18th, 1895.
Kindly allow me a few lines In your
valuable paper to comment on the
above subject. The farmers, midway
between toilette and BowesmoDt
have long felt the want Of q siding
between these two places, and peti.
toned the heads of tho N. p. Il. r.
to grant them such. John Emerson
has gone to great amount of trouble
In the matter and has urged the mat
ter to the best of his ability, and a
few weeks ago an Official of the rail-
way proceeded to the site with John
Emerson and viewed the ground and
said he would report favorably al
headquarters. The B0wesmont peo-
pie hearing that there was a::probabIli.
ty of siding being built, immedi.
ately ,petitiOned the Railroad Com
pany not to grant 1t, as It was of no
material benefit to the farmers. but
would ruin BOwesmont. I think this
Is IN unwarrantable Interference on
the part Of these villagers, who would
sacrifice the advancement of the
county to their own petty avarlciOus
and selfish views. Bowesmont has
been Of no benefit to the farmers here
to any extent and when they want TO
purchase anything out Of the common.
1t means trip to Peinblna, where
they can be accommodated at least
ten per cent cheaper. Ihave authori-
ty for stating that IL this siding is
built the coming fall, there will be q
frst-class general store built, also q
post-Oh1ce as well an elevator. Let
the Bowesmonters, hawk their wares
In legitimate manner and not try to
force monopoly down our Threats. All
we ask is a fair field and no favor.
We are old enough by this time to
know what 10 best for ourselves and
will stand by the. good old motto,

with extreme pride, and refuse to
have their flowers destroyed.
] regret to say that 1 sec no way to
save our farms from the pest unless
we can get more common sense diffus-
ed into the brains Of the great mass
OF our farmers. That there arc Il few
that are in every locality, that are do
ing all they can TO keep such weeds In
check; but owing to the dirty farms
around them, their efforts are very
difficult. Instead of receiving the
thanks and praise of the community,
they are called cranks and fools. To
say that 1t can not be totally destroy
ed is worse than folly; it has been
done, and can be done every time that
1t is tried with proper management.
Take John Page Sr. for instance. he
has made complete success with a
quarter section. and what one has
done othcrs cnu-dO with the same
WIN care and common sense.
Your ideas are all very good, In fact
as true as that we have the weeds, as
far Us they go. I have been fighting
the weeds ever since came to this
country, some nine years ago, and
have been watching very closely all
the actions Of others In connection
with it, and I am fully confident that
the dirtiest farm can be perfectly
cleaned in few years, without los.
ing single crop. I have no faith in
summer following, especially where
the seeds get ripe before it is plough
cd down or even cut, and at tho best
1t will not accomplish much in a dry
summer. In addition to your sugges-
lions, I will say, use every means pos
sible to get the seeds terminated and
then to destroy 1t before it gets out
Of blossom. When possible, hand pick.

method is to NOW, either by hand OF
machine as close as possible without
injuring the growing crop too much.
which will destroy large amount of
seed; then in the fall instead OF
ploughing to harrow well or schuffle
lightly, and leave the land until about
May 1st.; the seeds that are ON the
surface from the last crop will by
that time be all sprouted and up, In.
stead Of laying safely at the bottom
of the furrow waiting to be ploughcd

object gained, there will tie no seeds

dirty ones during the windy months
when the ground is bare. Then by
sowing and p!oughing Immediately to
some ''quick and thick-growing crop

growth of the weeds that come up
Tartefwarus. BarfcY, oats, max OF
mfllet will do finely for the purpose.
BY repeating this process say three
years In succession, the seeds will be
so far reduced that whatever comes
up afterwards can be pulled by hand
quite easily. The land also will be in
q first-class condition for wheat,
especially II barley or millet has been
used as a cleaning crop. All that is

me mis- ana the valleys are fast asleep
IN IN the warmth OF the summer noon;
ne yellow lilies stand straight and tall
Like sentinels under the grim stone wall
Butterhles, amber and white and brown
" hirl ana ilutter and settle down;
birus, ike bits of the clOudless sky,
silently over the pathway fly;
Brown bees, tired of the chase they've led
Aock IN the clover blossoms red,
And softly, sleepily Groom;
Poppies, scarlet as sunset seas
Nod and bend in the idle breeze:
grasses, ringing the fields of wheat
Simmer white in the waves Of heat,
ana naples under the light winds play
GUNNER with mingled green and gray
The quiet world, in the silence mild
Thrills like the soul of a dreaming child.
But when the days brief reign is past.
And shadows rise TO rule at last
And all the flowers are dying;
When down the misty mountaln-sides
The murky twilight turks and glides,
And all lights are flying;
When gently through the silent dusk
me pink rose leaves are falling,
And from the shining upland plain
The whippoorwills are calling;
When fre-fiies flash their torches bright
Through willow boughs low bending
All me, ! fear
The summers ending
Into my heart there comes
A vague but sad regret.
All! fair sweet summer day, too soon
We shall forget,
Too soon forget the mystic charm
You weave above you
Too soon forget your smiling face
Though now we love you
OH golden lie the waiting fields,
With sunshine DER them glancing,
And bright the winding river CLEANS,
And all the ripping rills and streams
With mirth are dancing;
The lakes are seas of burning glass,
The brooks are crystal clear;
Like CHEEKY prophets in the grass
The cr!ckets chirp we hear;
But through the beauty and the glee
There rings a note of sorrow:
To-day is sweet, but, ahl too fleet
Too soon will come the morrow
