FARMERS' COLUMN.

POULTRY FARMING IN SUSSEX. In Sussexj on comparatively p^or land, it U sail that £140,000 worth of eggs and poultry are raised anuually for the London murke<. 'Jhe farms average 49 acres m ex»ent, and the production of poultry is divided between breeding anil fattening, Vioih bfing r«relv carried on by one man. So great is tin demand for chickens that they are imported even as far a* from I<eand. Chickens are hatched naturally by the cottag-rs, and there are also large eitahlinhmeiits fitted with incubators and every ftpp'i»nce, the purpose being to ha'ch throughout the year, save lossibly October aud November.

THE HARVEST IN MANITORA.

Manitoba- had a graud harvest last year. The population .of the province is estimated at about 200,000, of which 25,000 are farmers. They are said lust year to have pro duced 30,000,000 bushels of wheat and 30,000- OOP of other grain, or 60.000,000 bushelsalio git: her. To carry the wheat crop alone 50,000 railway oars would be required, and 30,000 cars for the other grain. The estimate of the averaegs yeild issued by the Local Department of Agriculture was 25 bushels to the acre for wfceat, but m many districts yie'ds are reported of 30, 35 and 40 bushels, some being even larger still.

ANOTHER NOXIOUS WEED.

The Southland Times states that within the past month or two the mysterious disease that killed quite a number of horses m the neighborhood of Winton some years •go has broken out with fresh virulence, *nd the area over which animals are affected has been considerably extended. The symptoms observed m the heroes attacked will be remembered by those chiefly in terested. One very peculiar feature was the inclination of the sick animal to walk straight on; fences appeared to be unobserved, and the poor creatures crushed themselves through hedges or over barbed wire oblivious of the priokn and Iterations inflicted.' Contrary to the horse's instinct to make for his stable whon anything frightens or ails him, the poor brutes suffering from the malady m question, Appear to .have no aim m their movements, out to be actuated Bimply by impulse to go forward — m a straight line if possible. Other strongly marked symptoms were also noted, and it was proved m numerous cases that when once the disease had reached a certain stage recovery was hopeless. Being an unknown trouble the treatment was of course largely empirical, -and even experienced 'vets,* were nonplussed. The Government was appealed to and experts were sent down to investigate the matter, with the result that the " ragwort, ragweed, or bind-weed," a rank growing, coarse wend very prevalent at that time, about Winton chiefly, was suspected oi being the source of the disease. Animals do not readily eat this abnominable herb when othsr food is abundant, but horses, cattle and sheep all take it occasionally, and freely, we understand, when pasturage is scanty, the horse especially being addicted m such circumstances to feed upon it. Moveovar, m some fields the weed was so thiok that it was almost impossible for animals to browse without cropping a con siderable proportion of ihe suspected plant. .... But apart from the immediate cause of theße remarks — tbe disease among horses— the bind-weed itself oallß for special attention. Anyone travelling northward by road or rail cannot avoid seeing that the face of the country, from the town for 30 miles out, is aflame with this stinking weed at the present moment. It is literally taking possession of the country, and will sooner or later have to be drastically dealt with. In Scotland it is looked upon as a dangeroua and very noxious weed, and is stringently eradicated. It certainly ought to be included among the invaders of the soil that farmers are compelled by Statute to keep m check.
