THE seeds of many weeds that grow among the cultivated grasses that are cut for hay, like sorrel, the white or ox-eye daisy, dock, etc., are not destroyed in passing through the digestive organs of the animal unless they are actually crushed in mastication. They retain their vitality, and will readily germinate, under favorable conditions, just as well as if they had not passed through the animal stomach. THE vitality of weed-seeds, like the ox-eye daisy, chickweed, sorrel, etc., is destroyed by fermentation in a moist compost heap, with a heat anywhere from 90° to 110°, in from five to seven days. If the heap is dry, even with this heat, the vitality may not be destroyed. IN a common pig-pen, into which it is a general practice to throw large quantities of weeds in summer, the conditions as to temperature required to destroy the vitality of the seeds are not present, and if the seeds of such weeds are mature enough to germinate at all, they ought not to be put there. It is cheaper to burn them and done with it. WHEN the flowers of the white daisy first expand the seeds are not in a condition to germinate, but they reach this condition in a very few days. Fields infested with this weed ought, therefore, to be cut early, very soon after the first blossoms are fully expanded. If cut promptly the seeds will not have reached sufficient maturity to germinate. But if the cutting is delayed until the blossoms generally appear those that bloomed out first will have matured their seeds, and the manure made from hay so cut and cured will be infested with seeds capable of germination and growth. WHEN manure is made from hay filled with the white daisy and other weeds, and fed to horses and other cattle, it ought to be composted with muck or other substances and allowed to ferment and heat in order to destroy the vitality of the seeds scattered through it. The work required to compost manure is the chief objection to it, but the manure is improved by the operation, and it is the only safe way to use it. Working over the heap diffuses the moisture and promotes the heating, one of the essential conditions for the destruction of the vitality of weed seeds. CLEAN culture, the freedom from weeds and foul growths of every kind, is the cheapest and the wisest in the long run. Weeds will not ordinarily infest a field in a high state of cultivation and well manured. If a field is weedy it is an indication that it is time to plough it up and re-seed. Sheep will destroy the white daisy and many other weeds, but scrub dogs will be likely to destroy the sheep. JUNE grass, or, what is the same thing, Kentucky blue grass, is one of our earliest and most common grasses, but in old fields that have been exhausted by long cropping, the roots of this grass are attacked by the larvæ of the June bug, or May beetle, as it is often called, so that the tops turn white, with a fungus growth just above the last leaf. This fungus is not apt to form and attach itself to the stem of the grass unless the cells have become weakened in some way, like that indicated above, that is, either from poverty of the soil or from attacks upon the roots by the May beetle. The only remedy seems to be to |
