TIIE 1i USSIA N THISTLE.
In taking steps to prevent the spread
of this pest it should be noted that it is
an annual plant, and grows from the
seed each year, The chief means of
distribution is by the wind, During
the winter the large plants separate
from their roots, and becoming "tumble
weeds" are blown across the ground,
dropping their seeds wherever they go.
The young plants are at first soft and
weekly, they are easily destroyed with
a hoe, plough or cultivator, may be
'saber smothered out entirely by a
heavy crop or so weakened as not to
grow large enough to form tumble-
weeds. The seeds germinate freely
after ploughing, and unlike those of
wild mustard and some other plants
have not the power of retaining their
vitality for several years when covered
with soil. Therefore, as Prof. Hays, of
Minnesota, points out, "If all plants
large enough to travel before the wind
are kept from ripening, the weed will
not be hard to eradicate on each farm''
Waste lands, roadsides and railway
banks sho:.ld be particularly watched,
as these are the most Likely places for
the weed first to occur, and where, um
doubtedly, long after the pest has been
brought in subjection in arable lands,
some plants willigrow to maturity un
noticed and unchecked, and then will
be blown away from these neglected
spots, and reinfest fields from which
the weed has been thoroughly cleared
All infested lands, or lands .ikely to be
iufested, should, as far as is practicable
be cultivated till August, after which
time, it is said by those who have in-
vestigated this subject in the United
Ste tes, the Russian thistle will not leave
time to spring up again and mature
seeds.
The Russian thistle has already
found its way to Manitoba, and may
reach Ontario and o her parts of Can-
ada at any time, and our farmers
should be on the alert and never let the
pest get a foothold, as it has in the Da-
kotas,
DISCOVERY OR GOAL.
The recent d'scovery of coal in On-
tario was no doubt a surprise to many.
But word has reached us from Rat Port
age, authenticated by experts, that
anthracite coal can be found in unli
mited quantity in that part of Kee
watin and that its quality cannot be
excelled. This will he good news for
coal consumers in Ontario who are de
pendent en the Pennsylvania mines for
hard coal for fuel. There is an abund •
pnce of soft or bituminous coal both in
the Maritime Provinces and in the
North West Territory, a supply that is
practically inexhaustible but the dts-
tance of carriage, as well as the duty
imposed on the Canadian product by
the United States, preclude the pos.
sibility of our competing here in Ontar-
with the product of the Pennsylyan.
mines. The finding of hard coal in
e Rainy river district will probably
d to the discovery of other mines in
s Province; and if so, the price of
thracite coal to consumers will be a
nanza to Ontario people. In fact, we
ve no idea as yet of the mineral
ealth stored up in various sections of
nada. It is only the other daythat
kle was discovered in Sudbury in
eh paying quantities; and fortunes
ve already been made by the phr-
ase and transfer of claims in that
trio. The same may be realized
long from the opening of coal mines
North Western Ontario; and it 4s
fortunate that the Mowat Govern-
ut have been entirely passive in
development of our mines and min.
Is, while at the same time they
ve been most extravagent and
stelae in the timber resources of this
ovfnce. But we trust a brighter day
eginning to dawn on Ontario, and
t under new and progressive gov-
ernment thevast undeveloped resources
of the Province will be utilized for the
general good of all cencerned.
