 is a rather negative and destructive work, designed mainly to prevent them from robbing the planted crops. Kill ing weeds is fighting your enemies; cultivation is helping your friends. It is doubtless a good-anyway 1t is a etable enemies; but it is a more sat- isfactory and effective thing to nourish and foster and feed ones plant friends.
 Cultivation begins before the weeds show themselves. It is not principally intended for their injury, but chiefly for the good of the planted crops. But, being thus begun with a different objective, it nevertheless results In a much more effective control of the weeds themselves. For the pest time to kill weeds is before they come up while they are just ''a-bonin." The stirring of the surface which is done when the weed-seeds have barely sprouted and haven't a Quarter-1nch of stem and root combined is ample to stop their careers, right then and there. When they have had OppOr- tunity to establish themselves, to push their stakes well above ground and drive their roots deep towards the subsoil. then the same stirring, in stead of killing them, simply serves to encourage them and nerve them to Q fresh start,
 Instead of making cultivation a secondary matter incidental to weed killing, good tiIlage makes weed-kilI- ing the secondary matter incidental to plant cultivation.
 Just to state the case is to demon strate the reasonability of this method. Practice shows that it is not only reasonable in theory but that it works out with effectiveness.
 Sometimes notice a curious ten derness of some farmers in their handling Of their dirt about their thought the dirt would hurt the plants. They are afraid to throw it around the young crops, afraid to stir it up close to them, especially afraid to let any of 1t get on the leaves.
 Well, plants grow in dirt and live off it and it's a deal less likely to hurt them that it is to help them. Indeed, there are some crops which actual bUrying under fresh dirt seems to stimulate.
 It's a frequent practice with me, when early garden peas first come up, to run a cultiVatOr through them in such a way as to throw a spray of loose dirt directly on them, often quite burying them from sight. It doesn' t hurt them: it does them good. It seems to brace them up, this shower bath of fresh soil, as much as a shower bath of fresh cool water does a tired and grimy man.
 Sometimes and with some crops, what might be thought even a harsher trea tment is a tonic medicine. This past spring, when my early potatoes were from two to four inches out of the ground. there came the threat of q heavy frost. They had been culti- vated and the soil between the rows was light and dry. We hurriedIy got out the shOveI-pIow, opened it's wings an extra notch, hitched up our fastest walking horse, and went through those potatoes like @ gale of wind through a flag bank. The pOtaUO-tOps were com pletely buried, most of them, when we got through. Where an extra, sturdy one showed a Ht- of green sticking out

Perhaps I'm wrong, but thus far my experience leads me to suspect that we can't cultivate too much, even if we should try.

REMOVING WEEDS IS NOT CULTIVATION

CWritten Specially For The Bulletin.)
 Now that the drouth has been broken and we're getting rain in plenty our old friends the weeds, have taken a fresh start. Thunder mighty" as they say on Cape Cod, but aren't they growing!
 The chickweed on the asparagus bed is a deep piled green carpet through which the asparagus shoots have to fairly punch their way up wards.
 The quack-grass among the corn and narrow beans is growing like mad. above ground and below.
 Among the melons and kukes, young arnaranth and pigweed and ragweed colonies are establishing themselves every hour.
 Everywheyo puS1ey sprouts are be- ginniS to tint the surface with Q reddish flush.
 Now, am not in the habit of wait ing for the weeds to get into vigorous life. The gardens have been har- rowed and cultivated and hood, inces- sanity, ever since the rows began to show. But for the past few days the rains have been so frequent that that sort of work. One must wait little after 8 soaking rain for the top soil to dry off. He can't do good work just stirring up mud And when the second rain comes along be- fore the first has dried, and the third before the second wetting is out of the way, why, then one has to watch the weeds grow with such patience as he may happen to have on hand.
 It has been said, over and over again, that weeds are really the farmer friends, since they drive him 10 cultivate when, without them, he might neglect the crops. Like all old sayings, there Is 9 germ of truth in this.
 But don't make the mistake of think Ing that killing weeds is cultivation.
 Of course, you can't go through a field withs cultiyatOr or horseshoe to tear up the weeds without doing some Incidental cultivation of the, soil and the plants. But 1t is purely incident al. It becomes 9. mere side issue It's B sort of by-prOduct of your work.
 Which is putting the thing exact ly wrong end to.
 For uItivation-cultivatio of the soil for the sake of the plants, is of vastly more importance to good az riculture than the mere killing of weeds.
 Don't mistake me as undertaking the peszy nature of weeds. When allowed to grow thick and rank, they not only shade and smother the crop, but they take away from it the fertility which you have Iaboriougly and expensively dosed the sail with for the crops use. They are piIferers, pTIIagers, pick pockets, thieves who deserve and should be shown no consideration. Their one particular ambition seems to be to hurry and make seeds, this year, to bother folks with next year and the years after.

of the ridge we hauled dirt over it
 with hand hoes. When we got through
 the green row of potatoes had disap- peared. Instead were just ridges of dirt. The plants were completely submerged, covered up, buried.
 Next morning there was not only a frost but a freeze. Water had ice on it thick as windOw-glass, and the ground, even, was frozen so one could pick up the surface in pan cakes. But those potatoes weren't frozen; weren't frosted; didn't even seem to have had their feelings hurt. It wasn't three days before they up and out again, to the last Murphy of them, and growing with a vigor and Iustiness which they hadn't shown before.
 Tomatoes, also. will stand a lot of burying. Like other folks, I suppose, often have to set out some long stalked, spindling tomato plants, grown in the cOld-frame and with mighty smell root development, con- set very deeply, often burying three quarters of their green stalks and leaving little besides the leaves above ground. Under this seemingly harsh treatment they usually do exceedingly well. What had been stalk promptly transforms itself into root and takes up the functions of @ tap-root, sending out rootlets instead of branches and leaf-stems. Once they get started, such plants spurt ahead faster than even the most carefully treated and coddled potted plants in the next rows.
 Of course plants differ, like animals and each variety must be treated ac- cording to it's habits and tendencies. It might not do to bury four-inch high corn under dirt as a. protection against frost. But, taking crops as they run, we're all of us more apt to scant them on dirt than to overdose them with it.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-06-26

They used to say that plenty Of snow in the winter was the poor mans manure" Persistent tillage in the spring and summer is certainly worth as much as a good deal of manure, and worth more than Q great many barrels of water in a dry time. Constant stirring of the soil seems to enable it to absorb from the air something which plants want. At the same time the maintenance of a loose dirt mulch on tho surface conserves the subter- ranean moisture while acting as sponge to hold that of any light shower or even ordinary dew.
 Another thing; while the cultivator and the weeder and the horse-hoe are excellent devices to kill weeds, the very best way to conquer them is to let the crop do 1t for us. Two things can't occupy the same place at the same time. If by cultivation and till age it is possible to urge the planted growth, they'll outspeed and over- come most of the weeds. Weeds are not apt to trouble a buckwheat field much. This isn't, as some people hint, because buckwheat is ''poison" to weeds, but because it grows so rap idly and thickly that they haven't chance for their lives. The grain beats them at their own game.
 Some other crops, when they are little and feeble, need careful tillage to urge them along till they are able to take care of themselves. When they've reached that point, they're generally able to take care of the weeds, too.
