Russian Thistle.

The so-called "Russian thistle" or "tumbleweed,' has found it's way to the vicinity of Chicago, as it was sure to do sooner or later, and is causing no little annoyance to the farmers of northern Illinois and Indiana. 1t came, of course, along The railway lines with the stock cars, and great patches of it are now found on the outskirts of the city. It first got foothold in this country over 20 years ago, having been brought by some Russian eolonists who settled in the northwest. 1t soon took firm pos session of the Dakotas, and began to spread itself over dozen other states and territories. It is pest that prom ises to make more trouble than the Can ada thistle ever did. Already it causes d loss of several millions annually 10 the farmers of the northwest, and it's rayages are increasing every year. Thus far science has been appealed to almost in vain for some effective means of get ting rid ci this extremely unwelcome immigrant. .-Harper's Weekly.
