Dangerous 'Weeds.
By J. IL Panton, Ontario Agricultural College.)
At a period in Canadian farming when
much interchange of seed is taking place
I have thought it expedient to say some -
ting about weeds, with special refer -
enc e to two which came under my
notice last season, and were reported as
being new in the l&stricts from which
they were sent for identification.
Any plant out of place is really a
weed, even if it (Ryes possess consider-
able beauty. Some plants are so fre-
quently out of place that they have been
always known as weeds, such as the
thistle, chickweed, bindweed, etc.
In Ontario weha.ve somewhere about
150 species of plants commonly
known as weeds, and of these
nearly 100 have been introduced
from Eukope. Every year adds a few
more foreigners, a -rad if farmers are not
more vigilant in watching against these
unpleasant invaders our Provinee will
soon be overrun.
There is no doubt that weeds are on
the increase in Ontario, both in num-
ber and species. This may be accounted
for by the comparative indifference of
many farmers to the growth of weeds on
the roadsIde, as well as to the practice
which now prevails of procuring a change
of seed from other districts. The pro-
ductive power of these pernicious plants
will be better understood when the read-
er examines the results of observations
on their seed -bearing capabilities.
In each case following the seeds are
from a single plant: Pursiane, 500,000;
burdock, 400,328; cockle, 3,200; mus-
tard, 31000; Canadian thistle, 42,000;
ox -eye daisy, 9,600; chess, 3,500; mal-
low, 16,50G. When we consider this
productive bower and the vitality some
possess, together with the peculiar mode
by whiclamany are distributed, the sur-
prise is that we are not more overrun
than we are, especially when unfortu-
nately located near careless or indifferent
farmers.
Weeds are largely distributed by the
• following means
1. Along with grain obtained • from
other districts.
2. Animals carrying seeds attached to
their bodies.
3. By the wind, where seeds are sup-
plied with structures which enable them
to be blown about.
4. Threshing machinea carrying seeds
from farrn to farm.
5. Renting farm for a short time to
men who are indifferent to the condition
in which they leave the place, better or
worse, and usually worse, than they
found it.
6. Manure from city stables.
With such odds against him a farmer
who desires to keep his fields clean must
be vigilant, industrious and painstak-
ing. _However, if he observes the fol-
lowing hints he will succeed in destroy-
ing weeds:
1. Cultivate the land thoroughly.
2. Watch the roadsides and fence -
corners.
3. Never allow the weeds to seed.
4. If possible never allow weeds to
have the benefit of sunlight; this can
be effected by constant and thorough
cultivation, and will soon result in a
clean farm.
5. Secure the co-operation of fellow -
farmers.
A knowledge of the nature of weeds
becomes of importanco in destroying
them. Annuals live but a year, bear
many seeds, and when young are weak
and tender, such as shepherd's purse,
mustard, coekle, pennycress, wild oats,
chess, ragweed, chick weed and sow
thistle.
Biennials continue two years and usu-
ally have a tap -root. Unless these
plants are cut below the surface, cutting
increases their vigor. Wild carrot,
blueweed, burdock and mullein are bi-
ennials.
Sirnple perennials continue from year
to year and will re -appear till the 'root
— is utterly destroyed, of which are the
ox -eye daisy, mallow, chickory, bind-
weed, sorrel and canapion.
Creeping perennials are more or less
jointed in the roots, each joint capable
of growing if separated. Continued
cultivation and smothering from light
are necessary to kill these, among which
are the Canadian thistle, coach grass,
toad -flax, milkweed and sow thistle
(perennial.
Soneh as arvensis (perennial sow thistle)
has made its appearance in the neigh-
- borltood of Stratford, from which the
specimen sent to the -college came. It is
considered a troublesome weed in the
old country, and belongs to a class the
representatives of which are very diffi-
cult to destroy on account of the creep-
ing rootstock already referred to. Like
all members of the order Compositce it
produces many seeds. It bears a close
resemblance to the con -anon sow thistle,
having a flower not unlike that of the
dandelion, but the flower stock, especial-
ly near the flower, is quite hairy. This
weedbeing , beina perennial is likely to prove
far more ttroublesome than the annual
sow thistle and consequently should be
kept under.
Thlagpi arvenge (pennycress) has ap-
peared in the vicenity of Almonte. It
belongs to the order Crucifera3 and is
closely allied to the mustard. It is
well known along the Red River as
French -weed, and in that country has
become a nuisance, having in some cases
almost completely overrun the fields.
No doubt it has reached Ontario in seed
wheat from Manitoba; it ehould be de-
stroyed at once, before it gets a foothold.
The following description may be of ser-
vice to identfy it ; pod a round, flat, with
broad wings and a deep notch; leaves
oblong, arrow -shaped at the base, tooth-
ed, smooth; flowers white and very
small ; plant about a foot high. It de-
rives its name, pennycress, from the
size and shape of its seed vessels, which
resemble silver pennies. Though found
to some eatent in Quebec, it is rarely
seen in Ontario. Its introduction should
be looked upon with suspicion, for
(bearing many seeds) it will soon spread
if not 'kept under, and prove here as
tronblesome a weed as it has in Mani-
toba.

this State (the best of all the States)
continues very large and as a result

here. I was very much surprised and

1 got this watch so wond'rous cheap
That I could scarce believe it good,
But science with its searchings deep,
Has done what custom never could,
And I have proved the truth of this
That highest value must attaeh
To that which never god amiss,
The American " Columbus" watch.
Its neatness is as unsurpassed
As its good qualities are proved,
'Tis aacurate and made to last,
A watch by punctual men approved.
An able judge would piek them out
Of every maker's in a batch,
And none who tries will ever doubt
Papst's great "Columbus" watch.
The makers to the public sell
Their watches at the lowest price,
And all theeado they do it well,
-Vithout bne trait of false device.
They don't incur a dime of debt,
They have no doubtful schemes to
And never has been equalled yet,
The American "Columbus" watoh.
I do admire the highest art,
And love in all things excellence,
Ior beauty seems the dearestpart,
And worth the most Approved by sense;
Beauty and worth combined have they,
