Killing W'ectU.
So long us eight mllllnit toni nf useless
weedi ara raised annually liy the fanners of
!ho ITnltFil rMato, wo cannot urgo too frc
ipicntly tho means for their destruction. It
Is not merely liccatiso tho sumo amount of
vegeUiblo growth In useful crops would pro
duce sixty million dollars, but for tho con
stant hindrances which tlicy oiler to neat inn
bit miry, their Injury to young crops, and
their seeds spoiling tho nalo of otherwise
marketable products, that they should not
be perm Hied to present such formidable,
drawbacks to xood farming.
It Is now well understood that tho true
way to clear out annual weeds from tho soil,
Is by stirring it over and over through tho
slimmer, just often enough to break tho
sprouts and kill tho young plants at they are
coming to tlio surface; and that perennial
veed, and more particularly those that,
spread by tho roots, tiro most easily and ef
fectually destroyed by smothering and keep
ing them plowed under, with rare excep
tions, as in tho case of quick grass. There
art four distinct methods in common em
ploy ; that is, by summer fallows, by the
cultivation of hoed crops, by choking out
with denso crops, and by hand labor. A ro
tation which shall combine llic-te, will clear
any farm of all weeds, under proper manage
ment. Too implements to be med, aro the com
mon plow, modified with the addition of a
skim plow, or a small forward mold board
for turning under weeds to some depth j a
two-horse cultivator, Shares' harrow, or Ran
dall's harrow for working at less depth ; a
common harrow for still more superficial
wnk; and tho Thomni smoothing harrow
f,ir sweeping wildly over the surface as the
weeds are just peeping out, and for worMng
through the rows of hoed crops and broad
casted or drilled grain fiolds.
There are two modes for extirpating an
nual weeds, which have been extensively
adopted by farmers. One is by the planting
of hoed crops, and the other by summer fal
lows. Tlmjaller is tho easiest and niovt ef
fectual, as it may bo worked rapidly at all
limes through Iho season. The former is
iccommeuded on account of the valuo of the
crop grown on tho grouud. The question
as to which is best, may be settled experi
mentally, whether the crop will repay the
additional labor required for hill or drill
culture.
A general truth, which will apply to all
processes for killing weeds, is that they may
bo destroyed when just starting from the
grouud witli one-tenth the labor required a
week or two later, and one-twentieth of the
work when fully grown. The fanner must
therefore make provisiorto command ready
labor at the critical time when it will accom
plish the most, and it would be better to pay
two or three dollars a day to laborers at the
favorable moment, than only half a dollar a
day after tho weeds have grown. Qjunlry
Gentleman,
How to Kill 1'oultry Lice.
There is nothing that will so thoroughly
eradicate those parasites known as roost lice,
as cleanliness, and this is brought about by
spreading a thick paste of lime whitewash,
after the filth is removed, over the roosting
poles, aud about the building wherever these
minuto insects can claim a foothold, and
they will claim a foothold in every crack and
crevice, whero they lodgo during the day,
always seeking lurking places, whero they
hide from the light iu the day time, and come
forth at night to prey on tho bodies of the
fowls. You need never look for them on the
upper sides of the roosting poles, which are
worn smooth by the feet of the birds, but
examine the under part where there is some
roughness, and look sharp and close, or per
haps you will overlook the mites. Do not
expect to find anything as large as a small
ant or see anything in motion. You will,
perhaps, if you aro experienced in the busi
ness, at length discover clustering about a
small crack in the wood or around a knot
hole, something that might or might not be
called a dustinc; of flour, or rather whitish
wood ashes, which upon closer examination
resembles line corn chaff. I5e assured wheil
you have discovered this that you have spot
ted your game. If you examine still far
ther in the crevico which ycSS have discover
ed this signal, you will find hundreds and
thousands, yes, I might say millions, of
theso tormenting insect? clustering together.
in what would appear to you a little dark
mahogany bunch. Mash aud dissolvo this
bunch with a btick, and you will behold sev
erul drops of fresh blood which the para
sites have drawn from the veins of your
fowls the night before. This they do regu
lar'y night after night, and as tho cold
weather approaches they seek hiding places
on the bodies of the iowls, and feast contin
ually, causing them to droop and become
worthless. If hen houses are thoroughly
cleansed and kept white-washed this evil is
in a great measuro avoided. The droppings
should be removed once each week to be
thorough, for the fowls shako aud pick the
vermin from their bodies at night in warm
wenther, and they feed and breed in manure
aad soon appear in swarms, myriads crawl
ing upwardi'to the rooats, to seek tho bodies
of tho fowl if left to their own way. At least
threo times through the summer season the
houses and nest boxes should be gone through
witli land thoroughly cleansed and white
washed outside and inside, andthodroppings
all removed from the floor, which should be

named Christine This young lady had,

neighborhood, and had been seen wan

be haunted by evil spirits. She was also
very handsomc,with a weird,fllch,-llke beau
ty, and remarkably jealous.
When she found that in her stepdaughter's
prescuco neither Kalf nor Olseu took any
heed of licr, she grow furious, and having
picked some quarrel with them, banished
them fiom her house, and forbade them ever
to enter its doors again, ldscoveriug after
ward that both of them had contrived to
meet the Beautiful Christine in tho garden
that adjoined tho house, she accused her of ent physicians, without any help 1 received aa re

btirliood that she had locked her up In her
own room until she could behave herself
better.
The neighbors pitied Christine, but they
were too much u I raid of her step-mother,
Gertrude, to.interferejorovento remonstrate.
Olseu and Kalf haunted the outer walls of
the house like ghosts, but saw nothing of the
beautiful prisoner, and though theyspoko
to her father, who sat sunning himself in the
doorway he was very old and had grown
childish since his marriage with the hand

shook his head and muttered to himself:
"Ah! she is safe at least from foolish
young men. Ask mo no questions and you
shall hear no lies."
So tho two young lovers went away in de

in his ear: "Do not fear j despite all the
witches in tho world, Christine shall be
thine. Only deservo her and God's bless
ing, and have no fear."
But Kalf, instead of going to church, be
took himself to the sea, where, sitting in his
boat, he broke the Sabbath by fishing from
sunrise to sunset; even while the church
bells were ringing and all tho good people
goiug on their way,with their praytr booksin
their bauds. liut steadily as be fished, the
very worst ill-luck attended this ungodly
Kalf. Not a fish would bite his hook, aud
all the while a hideous, red-eyed worm, or
water-snake followed his bait.
At last, when the fading twilight warned
Kalf of supper time, he, in a rage, cried out
to
tho worm, still striving to get tho hait
to its hideous mouth, "Come, then, since
thou will ho caught," and olleriug tho worm
the bait, drctvit into his boat und tossed into
his basket. As ho trudged home, ho met
the wicked step-mother, Gertrude, demure
a nun, going home from church, her eyes
downcast, her book in hand.
To insult her, ho cried out, "Hi, Madam
Gertrude, wilt thou havo tho fish I have
caught for thy supper 1" and he held tho hid
eous worm toward her.
At the sight of it the witch-woman's
cheek grew white, and she uttered a scream
and fell fainting into tho arms of her decrep-
old husband. Whilo tho worm, lifting
its head and writhing hideously, threw such

degree of disgust and fear, cast it from him
into the little stream that rippled through
tho village, and ran home as fast as his legs
could carry him.
The worm he had cast into the stream
bank out of sight for a while, but returned
to the surface next day larger than before,
and moro hideous to look upon ; aud day by
day, hour by hour, it grw larger and more
frightful until it became n great fiery beast
with a voice like a woman and a terrible ap
petite. The whole village was in terror. It threat
ened destruction if it wero not well fed, a'ld
demanded the milk of nine cows and all the
eggs that all the hens thereabout could lay
Jor its breakfast.
Then, satisfied, it would sit upon a rock
and cry, great tears splashing into the water.
Nothing could prevail against it, nor could
it be driven away.
At last, seeiug that it had some sense and
seemed to havo feeling, a wise man of the
village was appointed to make it a speech,
and request it to leave the little place and go
to some larger town where thero was ampler
provision for its support.
The fiery beast answered very politely that
it wished the towu no ill, but that it must
ay where it wosuutil the handsomest man
n tho place had threo times kissed it cour
teously upou its mouth.
Sow ttie handsomest man was Olseu, as
all knew ; but the question was whether he
could be persuaded to kiss the lips of a fiery
beast, with a mouth like a volcano, for tho
good of the towu.
It was not only not pleasant, but danger
ous; for it might be that the request for a kiss
was merely a ruse, aud that when once sho
had him near enough tho fiery beast would
swallow the handsome Olsen. Hut when his
townsmen boro the news to the young man,
he promised to do as the beast desired, and
goiug to the river side, first received the
promise that after tho three kisses the fiery
beast would no longer torment tho poor peo
ple oi tho place, but would disappear and be
seen no more of them.
A creat crowd assembled ou the haulm nf
the littie stream to see the kiss given. They

oyes sliono with a strange light. Its hcaly

to look upon, but Olseu bowed his head, and
gave It as courteous a kiss as though it had
been the fairest lady in the land. And be-
ing kissed the beast fled away for a while,
aud returned, ceeniing to the gazers to be
much milder andless hery,and again awaited
the kiss. For tho second time flUer, nrnmu.,!
