Failure of the Wateroressa—The Thistle » in Australia—The Sweetbriar. vegetable lifehave almost always been due to sentiment. The useful plants and trees have,’as a rule, flourished admirably, For “‘example, Mr. J. A. Froude-states in his “Oceana” that the oats, barley, peas, beans and potatoes were produced in such luxuriance in Ballarat that he could believe’ Herodotus” “account of the crops grown on the plains of Babylon. A reaping machine had stopped in a field of oats, the stems of which stood up: like awall, and seemed as if no horse could forcea passage through -them, For seventeen successive years the ground had been cropped and. nota particle of manure had been put upon it, The acranigeet . point about it was that there were no wees, and Mr. Froude offers. the rather bold suggestion that “weeds -aré said toAlmost.the only failure in useful plants has-been the watercress, Introduced some years ago into New Zeland, it has spread as rapidly as did the “American weed” in our own country, choking up the rivers and involving the annual outlay of many thousand pounds in keeping the.rivers sufficiently clear for navigable purposes, Otago and.Canterbury have been severe sufferers front the watercress. Sentiment, however, has always heen a deadly foe tothe colonist; for example, some thirty years ago a Scotch emigrant to Australia took. with him a thistle in a flower pot. Great were the esjoicings among the Scotch colonistsy a dinner was given in in honor of the national plant, and it was then. carefully transferred to the soil, Now it has played the same part on land as” the watercress in the rivérs, and haa rendered whole tracts Gt land tiseléss; “Tt defies all attempg at extirpation and great sums of mofiey are paid yearly in restraining the once welcomed plant. That the thistle would probably become an injurious plant ought to have been anticipated, and the very seeds should have been prohibited as relentlessly as we prohibitsthe Colorado beetle, But who would have thought that the sweetbriar could do any harm? At home we are only too glad to have it in our gardens, and a sweetbriar hedge is a thing of joy and an object of justifiable pride, No one, therefore, would blamed the missionary and his wife who took with them a plant of sweetbriar as a fragrant memorial of their garden in the old country, But when set in the fresh rich soil of Australia that plant grew with almost savage fury, It drove great roots into the ground, developed itself fromashrub into a tree, and spread with such alarming rapidity that—it-is quite as trotiblesome as thie thistle, Tasmania, which is to the mainland of Australia what the Isle of Wight is ‘to England, has suffered terribly from the sweetbriar, New Zealand has fared no better, Mr. Froude states that it is a worse foe to the agriculturist than the native fern, “At home so chary. of growth, it expands there into vast bushes, becomes a weed and spreads like a weed. It overruns whole field in two or three seasons, will turn a cleared farm into an impenetrable thicket, and has to be torn out with cart ropes and teams of horses.” The reason for this astonishing growth of the thistle and sweetbriar js the same as that which accounts for the fecundity of the rabbit and sparrow; The rich and fertile soil affords the plants abundance of food, and the native flora is 60 feeble that the sturdy intruders have no rivals to check their progress,—-Longman’s Magazine, { Mexican — Mustang __ Liniment OURS Boiatica, Scratches, Contracted Lumbago, Sprains, Museles, Rheumatism, .
