Canada Thistles

I see that a correspondent asks how to keep off Canada thistles, and he is advised to plow up the patch. I say don't, for I think he can kill them out easier, as follows: Take your kerosene oil can and a quantity of salt; cut oö the tops or stalks, and burn them, if likely to scatter seed; then pour some of the oilin the crovvn or hollow of eauh root, then cover it with a good handf ul of salt, and you need not fear any more trouble from all roots treated in that way. Look over your patch at se eral different times, so a3 to be sure that none escape your notice, and you will ünd it much easier and more effective than the plowing and cultivating, as that will scatter the roots and make the patch larger, instead of smaller. The oil and salt I know is sure death to thistles, trom the experience of myself
