Killing w eeds.

Occasionally farmer is heard to ask
how weeds can be killed. but he does not
realize that if by some rapid process they
could all be dispatched. new legions
would gil their places at once if the con-
ditious which they enjoy remain. What
fa' mers ueed to comprehend is that with
out some radical mistake 10 the manage
ment Of their lands the daisies would
never have gained such foothold. All
plants, including weeds, settle and thrive
where the competition for life is such
that they can enter into it and prosper.
A good stand of grass leaves no room
nor any hope for weeds. 1t is not in well
titled fields that Canada thistles flourish,
but in neglected pastures and by the
roadsides. ln the contest with the best
agricultural practice they cannot prevail.
1t is in the untitled plains of the West,
or in the titled regions where there is
mile after mile Of plowed land producing
only eight or nine bushels of wheat to
the acre year after year, without any ro-
tation, where the Russian thistle is
natural and inevitable intruder
The remedy for weeds is to keep the
land busy with good crop on it, and
this means that the farmer must give
persistent and connected thought to his
business.

Winter Care Of Ducks.

Ducks, to lay early, require fairly

being moreover bulky food, helps to fill
up the birds better than anything else
can. The way to do is to boil turnips,
potatoes and the like, mash them, add
bran, ground oats, corn meal and a very
little linseed meal, then mix the whole
thoroughly and feed while warm.
The egg of the duck being very large
and rich, she also needs plenty of food
of the most nutritious nature. Therefore
just before laying does commence, aud
while it continues, a great deal of an
imal food should be supplied. such as
meat scraps, green-cut bone. ETC.. large

the wastes of the kithen table.
