Hon. Robert Rogers political en-

having had a violent ;personal quarrel

personal anim us against Mr. Rogers.
Most people free, from bias will beein-

of the two 'eminent judges is more
worthy of confuidence (than that of

BAD WEED.—It has just been dis-
covered that stink-we,ed, so common
in the western provinces, has made
its appearance in ,this locality, ivIr,
Wnm. Andrew wlsn spent many years
in the West and is quite familiar with
the weed, N}rhi1e out in, Stephen last
week discovered a plant of it in a
farmer's yard, It was a healthy and
vigorous specie, showing that it will
grow .and thrive in Ontario soil. It
grows in a rather ,bushy form, has
very .few leaves, but bear's an abund-
ance of pods which contain anywhere
from 10 to 20 seeds each, It was ievi-
dently given the names of stink -weed
because of its offensive smell, resem-
bling very much that of a skunk.
Cattle sometimes seat tit and whenever
they do and it.happclns to be a snitch
COW tthe milk for days' is not fit ::for
use, neither hs (the cream fit for but-
terrnaking, Mr Andrews, informs us
that it is without exogption, the worst
weed they have, in the West, there
fore farmers are ,warned to keep., ,a
strict watch: over their fields and barn
yards, particularly those farmers Lvlio
have been using :western grain for
feed and seed ,purposes, sio as to
