We once had the pleasure of walking over the thirty- nere horticultural grounds of a friend, where a dozen weeds conld unt be found. In answer fo an ingniry, he said, “The “weeds eannot grow here; the soil has been cleared of thd seeds, and none are allowed t ripen.” This way of management, although attended with considerable la! and close attention at first, he regarded as mach cheaper in the end, in more ways than one—the labor of killing’ the weeds was avoided, the crops were not retarded or checked by their presence, and the satisfac- tion of controlling his own ground was equal to the two other advantages. "The most successful | farmers are those who eradicate weeds from heir fields by not allowing them to grow, and gardener jd adopt the same cours, by the grown constantly stiered before the fated, and then by passing over surface between the plant once a week afterwards, breaking th and Keeping the whole clean an without waiting for the small gr of the weed to make their ay | A light fine garden rake is a capital tov none par ny | Beck. as may be ran rapidly over the surf yes . “toting | and it accomplishes fold operation nly sound apontmc auld sctatebing | SUF, ccining rea Go, geri of brcabinerteot killing the young weeds that are sprouting below.
