Weeds and Intensive Culture

A. B. asks "How can horseradist
be 'exterminsted?" Why not try in
tensive culture? Do you know what Gin
tensive culture" means with me?
As early as can get into my peach
orchard of fifteen hundred trees star
the cutaway harrow to cut up the dead
cow pea vines of the previous year, ther
follow with cultivator weekly (weathei
permitting) until June, when q large
vine- making variety of cow pea Is sowr
to act as fertilizer, cushion for falling
fruit, and cover crop for the winter, as
we'll as q catch-all for the falling leaves.
The foliage on my trees remains rich
dark green uutil frost pulls them off.
My potatoes are titled with the har
row before they come up, 30 also Is my
corn, after which the cultivator is KEEP,
running through the rows weekly until
too large for continued culture, when
crimson clover or rye is sown in corn
to be plowed down the folio wing spring.
My three acres Of ounce trees, cur
rants, gooseberries, etc., are titled week
ly until picking time; after that oats
and cowhorn turnips are sown as q
cover crop, to be worked into the soil
the following spring. For a number of
years the cultivstor has run through
the currants, ETC., from twenty-eight to
thirty-two times each season. Ny one
hundred apple trees are treated the same
as my peach orchard. For seventeen
years have not knowingly let weed &c
to seed on my titled land, and with the
exception of ox-eye daisies, have ex'
terminated them from my hay fields.
OF course this means watch and work,
but it pays. II were to state the value
of the surplus products that / have year
ly sold from my little farm, l fear |
would be relegated to the Ansnias Club;
but my books show.
Now back to exterminating horse
radish: Plant early potatoes, get them
of by mid-July, put in ruta bagas In
drills three feet apart, get them out
when time and seed to rye; next spring
plow down rye and plant to corn, and
again seed to rye, and the following
year you will have to hunt for horse
radish, Canada thistle, twitch grass,
sassafras, etc. But don't fail to Guilt
vate intensively, and don't 60 joy rid
ing when the cultivstor needs you.
OF course my system could not bs
carried out in northwestern Canada, but
in radius of fifty miles of New York II
can be made q success.-T. Leonard

bowed civilly and returned to his seat.
Alton Clyde clamored for enlighten-

At the dinner table the talk at first
was general and Of q character appro-

oddly enough. displayed such an un-
usual thirst for information regarding

He was torn between the desire to
have Mildred agree and fear Of the In

a trip. But Miss Wayland evidently
had an eye to her own comfort, for
she replied:
