Testimony before the Massachusetts,
legislature has shown that arsenic is
used not alone in wallpaper, but in
draperies, chair-covclings, lounges,
comforters, frescoes, and even in
wooden clothing. So employed this
poison becomes active at the ordinary

thing else. On the long cane system
we leave from three to ten feet of the
new growth and cut away all others.
We always save the canes nearest the
ground and cut out the top as much
