..Killine the Canada Thistle.

In the Weekly Tribune of the l1th
inst. noticed an article beaded: "Kill-
ing the Canada Thistle" While 4not
doubling that the discovery of DR. ].
E. Tibbens might kill the thistle, or
anything else that grows, for the bene-
fit of farmers having the Canada
thistle pest will relate my experience.
We had on an old Maine farm q large
pasture. The Canada thistle seemed
to be taking possession of much of it.
Some one told me that it would kill
thistles to NOW them in dog days. /
tried it. It killed the thistles. I no
ticed the thistle stalks where cut off
were hollow. What dog days had to
do with it am unable to say. am
only sure that the thistles were killed.
My theory is that during dog days in
this latitude the stalk of the Canada
thistle has reached the stage when it
is hollow, and, cut off then, every time
it rains the hollow stump of the thistle
fills with water and the root is killed
by drowning, as it were.-W. c. Clark.

Cable advices last week from my
agents in the principal markets of
Great Britain have been good, with an
advance in prices up to today, which
report the upward trend of the market
having been checked, and they do not
look for any further advance. Liver
pool has been giving some grand good
nets, all the way from $l.24 to STA,
as nets in Boston, for CARROTS of Bald
wins aud other red varieties. Maine
Baldwins have given the best salts
faction of any apples this season, the
fruit being harder and the landing
condition generally fine, although
complaints are made in some instances
of the smallness Of the fruit. Some of
the Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire Baldwins that landed in Liver
pool last week were more or less out of
condition, but this fruit was too ripe
when shipped. Many of our growers
have left their apples i'm their barns un-
packed and exposed to the different
changes of weather that we have had
the past month or six weeks, in some
cases very warm spells, but where
growers have picked their apples and
packed them under the trees, and
then placed them in cool places, their
fruit today is i'm far better condition.
Shipments going this week are al
most sure to lard on active markets,
as the sale is enormous from the 1st to
the 18th of December, for the Christ
mas holidays demand. THIS year the
fruit being so fine and prices SO mod
crate, il hardly looks as if prices would
recede at all on the finest fruit. Ship
ments are likely to be moderate for
some little time in consequence of the
scarcity of freight room, as most of the
steamship companies have reduced
shippers' engagements one-half for the
next two weeks, in consequence Of the
immense amount Of grain and cotton
going forward at relatively better rates
of freight than current for apples. Ex-
ira fine red fruit packed in the one
half barrel cases and shipped the com.
ing week ought to bring good results.
The shipments last week foot up to
81 sol barrels and cases, of which 46, O4l
went to Liverpool and S, AGO to London.
