According to a bulletin issued by
the department of agriculture interest
is being shown at a number of agricultural
experiment stations in the
possibility of weed destruction by
means of chemicals. It is said that
?; > MMih ilH" << -> lO^il 11 was lounu <11
tho Vermont station that the orange
hawkseed, a serious pest in pastures
and meadows, could be destroyed
without injury to the grass by sowing
salt over the land at the rate of 11000
pounds to tho acre. Many experiments
I have since been conducted at the
same station with other chemicals for
the eradication of weeds in walks,
drives, etc. Among the chemicals
tested were salt, copper sulphate, kerosene,
liver of sulphur, carbolic acid, <
ars iiic and salsoda. arseniate of soda I
and two commercial weed killers, tho
active principle of which apparently
v;>.; arsenic. The weeds which is was
sought to destroy were plaintains,
dandelion, chicory, ragweed, knotweed
ami various grasses. All the chemicals
were applied in solution except
the salt. As in the case of the hawkv(
ed experiments, salt was found efficient
in destroying all the weeds
when applied dry and in large quantity.
When salt is used for this purpose
adjacent lawns should be protected
against washing, or they may be injured.
Crude carbolic acid, one pint
in four pints of water, applied at the
rate of eight gallons per square rod,
was very efficient. The various arsenical
preparations proved valauble as

horn was largely a matter of oxponso.
"All things consider* il." writes the
author of the bulletin, "the arsenate of
soda and the carbolic arid solutions
proved the most valuable chemicals
for weed destruction under tho conditions
of these experiments."
A series of experiments in weed
destruction in fields of growing grain
lias been carried on at the North Dakota
and other stations, as well as at
many places abroad. Several years
ago. In France, it was accidentally
found that a soultlon of blue vitriol
destroy? .l charlock, or wild mustard
plants. Acting npon this, experiments
have been conducted in France, Germany
and England, where charlock is
one of the worst weeds in grain fields,
meadows and pastures. The method
employed is to spray the crop with
solutions of blue vitriol while tho
weeds are young and not too well protected.
While the results obtained
are in some respects conflicting, the
best results have been secured when
a two percent solution is sprayed over
the field at the rate of from 40 to f>0
gallons per acre. Tho spraying should
bo done on a clear, still day, and hefore
the weeds begin to come into
tlower. If a rain should fall within
21 hours or the weeds are too old a
second spraying will be necessary.
This treatment has been repeatedly
tested without permanent injury to
wheat, oats, barley and rye. while
such weeds a.s charlock, shepherd's
purse, penny cress, etc.. were almost
completely destroyed. No injury fol
lowed such treatment upon young
clover growing 5a the grain.

to his mother and hi? aunties, whose
broken English was listened to and repeated
as though it had been the wisdom

his paint box! lie read the names of
colors again and again; lie tried the
brushes, admired the china palette which
fitted so nicely into its place. He liked i
the red best, as Mr. Vermilion had predicted.
Some of the colors looked much
the same from the outside, and you could
not tell what they were like till they were
ground. Indigo, Sepia and Sap Green
looked very dull in the box ; you could
not even tell what Miss Carmine was
like 'till you ground her on the palette.
But there was no mistaking Mr. Vermilion
! He was always bright and cheerful
; he looked like a general officer in
his bright red coat, commanding all the
colors in the box.
"Bright red! Bright red!" cried the
little boy, when he saw him. And he
clapped his hands just as Mr. Vermilion
had said.
The box itself was in cedar wood, and
there was a picture of Robinson Crusoe
inside the lid. There were three rows
of paints, and there was a compartment
for India rubber, brushes and pencils,
and a secret drawer at the bottom of the
box, which could not be opened 'till you
had taken out a brass screw. There was
a tiny glass for painting water, but it
was too small to satisfy the little boy,
who preferred to use a good-sized
tumbler.
Nothing would do but that he must
begin to paint at once, and all manner
of pictures from the illustrated papers
and magazines were brought for him to
paint. His mother and aunts looked on.

A year had passed, and the painting
box was not quite what it was. The box
was splashed with different colors, the

Vandyke Brown was lost; the sober colors
were still in pretty good condition,
but the brighter colors were all in a very
<ad way. Emerald Green was worn
down. Sapphire Rlue was only half her
original si/c, Miss Carmine seemed to
have all the spirit taken out of her, and
Chinese White was worn to a thread.
But Mr. Vermilion was the worst! He
was but half the <i7e he had been last

ground down on the palette, but
the paint had been taken from the outside
with the brush till he was quite worn
