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. pound live weight. The emigration to this State (the best of all the States) continues very large and as a result property is booming. Many a farmer in Ontario could do worse than come here.

Yours truly, F. E. Wane. - Waterloo, Feb. 3rd, 1887. 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, you without user would duel di ahy atvoe buy to in a tc h DecideAndwr Papst's great "Columbus" watches.
