In fact windows ar* hardly a necessity, as when the building is uaed the large doors will be open. Seasonable Weed Killing. The weed question resolves itself into a few distinct pouts, attention to which will save a world of wasted toil. In the first place a farmer must find out how to do the work at wholesale. Manual labor can never cops with such a herculean task. We mast find some way to kill by the acre, aad tc do thi* sncceesfully w* must get drm hold of the first principle* of plaal life. Many farmers who have rsaped one crop, of which a third wa* weeds, deliberately start in the fah\to plow un'isr all th* rid* aeeds which were ehed by the weed crop. That seed is simply embalmed when thus buried under a few me iie* of soil, ard though a portion nay decay, enough will remain sound to supply heavy growth the next time they are brought near the auriace, where air and moisture and warmth combined are sure to cause free germination ; and after that buried aeed has supplied two or three years' weeds from the one year's crop of vraeda, there will still remain enoaga to k*ep up the supply. Old land* are, a* a rule, fairly saturated with aeeds, aad thus buried and ernbaimtd, no one oaa tell how far back. If I find foul seeds on the toy I want to keep them there, and coax them to germinate aa early as possible. To harrow early in the fall mean* to kill such seeds by th* milho.i. If bar rowed early in spring so many more wiil start into active life that moet ol theee seeds will have been got rid of. If plowed a fortnight after the spring harrowiug, and promptly doable harrowed, th* genial breath of spring will call thousand* of the wed* *o turned uj> to germinate. Then in ten day* seed the land to barley, or some hoed crop, and the harrow will kill trillions that the former harrowing started into life. To harrow every Wa days will kill more weeds for less oatlay than any other method ; for every round kills one set and starta another to be killed in the same way. A good crop of late-sown barley will choke down moat of the seed* started by the last harrowing, and pay for most of the work so far laid out on that field. Bnt much land is infested with weeds that spread under the surface by creeping root stalks and above groaad by seed. Canada thistle, quack gra, aad most oi the natural glasses of America ar* spread in both of the** ways. Repeat* ! surface harrowing in dealing with annual weed* will break up such creeping root stalks aad multiply them indefinitely, every fragment starting a nw plant. To attenpt collect- ing sucn root* by harrowing ud gathering ofl would be an endless task. But we know that a plant in the active stages of its ex istence muit die if prevented from forming green leave* for a proper length of lime therefore, to deal moat snooessfnlly with quack grass or thistles we would tackle them in their moat active stages of growth. A farmer who, by summer fallowing, bad spread quack grass over hundreds of acre* of rich prairie mold, asked me what he should try to clear it off. I ad vised to plow an incite deep in the latter part of May, aad sow barley on top. The effect was almost mir aculnito. The grass root* got sick for want of air and food normal I v t*k> n in by the leave*. It was like taking a fish out oi water. '1'ho rapid growth of the barley oi top did its own (bare oi the work, and tit land remained clean. To mow thistlee in full growth, ami re peat the dowin about six weeks, then tnrn under a good straight furrow, and then cultivating on top to keep green leave' from forming, if they do spring up, i* ar. other application of the same principle. Work spent trying to kill either annual o: perennial weeds ia their dormant stages, i- almoat labor lost. One oi the- richest crppo of aunual weed* I ever saw was proiluc ' in the following way : A farmer owning good land had Oy repeated crop* of wheat on fall plowing got hi* land saturated wit). foul seeds ind wanted to clean it by sum mer fallowing : but iaslefcJ of harrowing close after the plow so as to save all th- moisture and form a fine, damp mold ir which to start the seeds, he plowed lb wbole and iheo harrowed the dried -ou: land.
