One of the greatest cares of the far
raer now is to keep his land., clear cif
dangeroas weeds, which pollute his
Boil, exhaust its strength, and Some-
,
imes _almost if not entirety destroy
his crops. Of late years the most
dangerous weed has been the Canada
Thistle. Until recently it was un
known in this section of the country;
but it has steadily followed the lines
of transportation, especially the rail
roads, until it has made a lodgment
in the Cumberland Valley. It abounds
in the streets of Chambersburg about
the Railroad buildings, and is spread
ing gradually over the county. - :The
seed r proteeted *its coat :Of down,
is wafted by the winds for miles, and
wherever it falls, whether the soil be
rich or poor, the Canada Thistle will
grow ; and when it once gets a start,
it will allow-of no division of the soil,
but claims all the nourishment forit
,self. Its roots penetrate the earth,
very deep, and spread from year 'to
year, until the. ground becomes but a
nekwork of Thistle-roots. fnOe
the 'common thistle it" is most tenac
ious of life. The farmer may.mow: it
down, but he - will find ten new stocks.
springing up in place of the old One,
and so it steadily extends until it be
comes perfectly- master of the soil. •
In order' . that our - farmers - .may
know this pestilential foe, we haVe
procured an accurate -engraVing (fig.
1) of it when in 'bloom; and by et)-
serving the peculiar:formation Of the
leaves, it can be readily distinguished
from the common thistle. .
I. -CANADA THISTp
The season of the year is at hand
when the Canada Thistle must` be at
tended to at once: It is now about to
.bloom, and unless war is made upon it
without with mattock and salt,
its seeds will soon ripen, and theYwill
be spreading all over the country in
their downy bed. Every plan of cul
ture of the ground has been tri to
exterminate a this seed, but wi out
success; and. it is pretty wells titled
-that in but ,one way can successful
war be maderupon it. Take amattock
and cut the stocks off just even with
the top of's - the earth; or a little under
the, earth, and drop a spoonful of salt
on the stump. In a majority of Cases
the roots Will die, and - as , the seeds on
the stock are deStroyed before mato.:
rity, it is - Prevented' from spreading.
We entreat every farmer not to de
lay an hour in looking carefully over
his entire farm, including. the lanes
and' fence-corners, and if a stock of
the Canada Thistle can- be found, let
it be cut out and salt applied to the
stump at . once. It abounds more par
ticularly along the line of the Cum
berland- Valley Railroad, but it is
spreading over many portions of the
;Southern section of the County.
'ln most of the States the destruc
,
tion of the Canada Thistle is made
obligatory. , InPermsylyaniawe have
a statute,on the subject, passed March
. 22d,1862, which imposes, Severe pen
alties`forpermitting'the Thistle to go
to seed. = In order that our farmers
•may fully understand - their duty to
hemselves and each other• in the mat
.
ter, we copy The law entire :_
SscrieN I. ge it cnacte:4,. 6.c., That from

thistles ; and on their neglect or refusal to
cut and destroy the same at the end of five
days, it shall and-may be lawful for anyper
son or persons so aggrieVed, or' believing
themselves about to be injured thereby, to

The American Agriculturist for Au
gust has an intelligent article _on
the subject of the Canada Thistle.
It says that though we have some
ten native and introduced 'species of
thistle, there are only two which are
very troublesome to the farmer, and
these are foreigners. The common
" Bull thistle," or "Michigan thistle,"
(Cirsium.lanceolatum) as 'it is some . -
times 'called, is the commonest of our
thistles. - It is readily' known by its
broad luxuriant folia • ge and its large
heads, which are an inch or more in di
ameter. Though exceedingly trouble
some, especially in grain fields, where
itgi prickly leaves are a great, annoy
ance to the binder, it is not difficult
to exterminate., Being a biennial the
root is readily pulled. During the
first year the plant forms a broad turf
of leaves which 'lie close to the ground
and it does not attract' much notice ;
the second year it throws up A large,
flowering stem from 2 to 3 feet high
and then becomes, from' its very
Prickly leaves, a formidable custier.
During the first year -of its' growA
cut with the hoe, of a tablespoonful
of salt applied to the crown of the
plant, will destroy it. When it is al
lowed to run up to flower it should
be pulled or cut as early as possible.
The fruit, or seed as - it is called, is
provided with a copious down, and
thousands of these little balloons with
a seed attached may be seen floating
upon the breeze from the field of some
careless farmer to annoy his. more
thrifty neighbor. If, a whole neigh
borhood can be aroused to ekterminate
this thistle, not only from the field but
from the road sides, they would soon
be rid of, the pest. This thistle is an
exotic, but it seems to make itself
perfectly at home in our cultivated
Acids, especially affecting the richest
ground. A far more troublesome
plant is the Canada Thistle (Cirsiuhi:
arvense) which is perhaps the worst
weed with which the farmer has to
contend. As other, comparatively
harmless plants have - been taken for
this, we give a very good engraving
of the upperpart of ailowerintiplant.
This differs from the-common thistle,
in being a, perennial ; besides its strong
roots, it throws out into the soil nu
merous strong root-stocks, or under
ground branches, and multiplies very
much in the way described for the,
couelf-grass in the last number. Run
ning a plough or cultivator through a
patch ofit, instead of destroying it,only
breaks up these rootstocks and they be
come many kieparate plants. This plant
has two separate modes ofpropagation.
The one is by its seeds,'which are
readily borne by the wind from place
to - place, and the other is by its under
ground stems, which' from a partial
warfare against them only flourish
and_ multiply.. When' one Canada:
Thistle appears upon the farm the war
must begin: It is Modest in its first
appearance,- presenting but a small
tuft- of prickly leaves, often hidden by
the grass, but it must be exterminated
at once. If, let alone, the root-stock
ixtends itself for along distance in all
directions,•and branekes are thrown
up to the surface." These are appa
rently winter-killed, but the returning
slimmer shows that thiS is not the
case, they are - only killed down to the
ground, and as soon as favorgble
weather comes their prickly stems
arise from the. subterranean buds and
stand up in bristly defiance to the cul
tivator. Wherever a Canada Thistle
appears, cut it. down. We have , but
little belief in specific applications to
weeds, but we have known these and
other thistles to be destroyed by cut
,U.l)e tici3ps*,rit,
,il)ll,44,crs,burg, 43a. '
ting as anon As-they -appeared and'ap:
plying salt to the portionremaining ,
in, the. 'ground. Whether the first
year's attempt at exterminating this
pest is successful or not, it is. a duty,
-that each farther owel3; not only to
himself but to ,his neighbors, to pre
vent dissemination ; let no plant upon
the premises flower, mt/3. less perfect
its seedS. Patience antifrequent cut=
ting as fast as it appel.rs above • the
surface, will in time destroy it.
The-Red-root or Pig-weed has 'alSo'
become one of the pests of the farm
er. We present also an engraVing of
it (fig. 2) - when seeding, and. it will
be readily 'recognized by farmers:
Pia. 2.—RED-aobi OR' PD3-WEED.
Its botanical name is Amarantus
retroflexus; it belongs -to the Ama
ranth or que, Pig-weed family, which
produces several troublesome weeds,
but none so generally known as the
-one under consideration. (The plant
most commonly called pig-weed is
Chenopodium allntin.) Figure 2, will
give a good idea of the full grown
plant.. It ,is sometimes called "Pig
weed," but the most common name
is Red, root, given on account of the
red color of the root. The plant is
distinguished by great vigor and ra
pidity of growth, and if neglected for
a short time, becomes so large as to
resist the and must be pulled- up
by hand. Being an - annual, a cut
with the hoe destroys the planVbut
the stock of seeds in the soil se4ns to
be inexhaustable, and crop aftexcrop
Will spring up through the 4season.
The flower clusters are crowded with
minute green flowers, each one of
which produces a seed. From the
prolific character of the plant it will
be seen that aisingle one, if allowed
to. arrive at maturity, will furnish
hundreds if not thousands of seeds.
If the plant has flowered, it should
not go into the compost heap, as, in
conimon with other plants, the stalk
contains nutriment enough to perfect
the seeds after it is cut off -or pulled'
out.of the, ground. The plants, if they
have flowered, 'should be dried and
burned. Like all annual weeds
this soon succumbs under careful cul
tivation. Let our farmers bear in
mind the homely but c2ecellent motto
that "an ounce of prevention is bet
ter than a pound of cure." - A little
care and timely effort, and these re
lentless foes of good
_husbandry can
he completely destroyed.

:We call. thertittention of all havingcrelations or
friends in the army to- the fact that ' Hooftand's
German Bitters" will cure nine-tenths of the disea
ses induced by exposures and privations incident to
camp life. In the lists published almost daily in the
newspapers; on the arrival of the sick, it will be
found that a.very large proportion are suffering •
\ from-debility. Every case of that kind can be rea--
dily eared by Hoofland's German Bitters. Diseases
resulting from disorders of the digestive organs are
speedily removed: We have no hesitation in sta
ting that, if these Bitters wore freely used J among
our soldiers, hundreds of lives might be saved that
will otherwise be lost.
We call pattieular attention to the following re
markable and well authenticated cure of one of the
nation's hero's, whose life, to use his own language,
"haSheen saved by the Bitters:"
PHILADELPFICA, August 23;1.862.
Megan. Jonie k EvanarlPell, gentiomed, your
Hoofiand's German Bitters has saved my life. There
is nomistake in this. It is vouched for by numbers
of my comrades, some of whose names are.append
ecl, and who were fully cognizant of all the-circum
stances of my ease, I am, and have been for the last
four years, a member of Shermat's celebrated Bat
tery and under - the immediate command of Capt.
AYres. Through:the exposure attendant up
on my arduous duties, I was attacked in November
last with inflammation of the lungs, and was for n'
days in the hoifffral. This was followed - by great
debility, heightened by an attack of dysentery. I
was their removed 'from the White House, andsent
to this city on board the steamer " State of Maine,'
from which I landed on the 28th of June.. Since
that time I have been about as low as any one could
be and. still retain a spark of vitality. Fora week
or more I was scarcely able to swallow anything,
and if I did force a morsel dotin, it was immediate
ly thrown up-again.
I could not, even keep a glass of water on-my sto
mach. Life could not last under these circumstan
ces, and, accordingly, the physicians.who hdd been
working faithfully; though unsuccessfully, to rescue
me from the grasp of the dread Archer, frankly told
me they could do no more for me, and. advised me
to see a Clergyman, and to make such dispoSition of
my limited funds as best suited me. An acquaint
once who visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick
Steinbron, of 'Sixth below Arch Street, advised me,
as a forlorn hope,: to try your Bitters, and"kindly -
procured a bottle. From the time I commenced tit
kingthem the gloomy shadow of death receded. and
I a m n o w, thank God for it, getting better. - Though
I have takeh but two trotties, 1 have gained ten
,pounds, and I feei sanguine of being permitted to
rejoin -my wife and daughter, from whom I have
heard nothingfor. eighteen months: for, gentlemen
lam okra! Virginian. from the vicinity of Front
Royal. To your invaluable Bitters I owe -the cern
tamty of life which has taken the place of vague
fears—to your Bitters will I owe the privilege of
- again clasping to my bosom those who are dearest
to, me in life.
Very truly yours,
