An English gardener uses salt to des-
troy weeds and moss on walks and car
rage drives. He sprinkleS them annual
ly with sufficient salt to thinly cover the
surface. If rain does not follow direct
" after, the walks are gently sprinkled
with water so as to dissolve the salt.
Managed in this way, weeds, moss, and
all other vegetable Conferv9 disappear
after the first rain, and the walks are
left as bright and fresh looking as if they
had been newly gravelled, and remain
in that very pleasing and desirable state
throughout the season. OF course, it
will only do to use salt where there are
dead edgngs or grass verges, as however
carefully 1t may be applied, it is almost
sure to njure box, which soon shows
how much the salt disagrees with it by
the yellow color it turns"
