Ticklo Grass.
Newspaper Bulletin No. 15

Newspaper Bulletin No. 15]
The writer has recently noticed
along several country roads punches
of tickle grass that have been pulled
from adjoining fields and thrown into
drive-ways, supposedly for the pur-
pose of preventing the weed from
going to seed in the meadows. This
is, to say the least, pernicious prac-
tice and one to be discouraged at all
times. The noxious character of
tickle grass is too well known among
farmers to require explanation. The
pest is one of those introduced plants
that has found congenial climate
and soil, and it enjoys a hardness
and grows with vigor that promises
permanent if left undisturbed. !.
There seems to be no royal road
to the subjugation of the plant. Ma
ture has provided it with every means
for distribution and self-perpetuation.
The heads break into fifty or seventy
five separate pieces, each containing a
fertile seed. Each piece is provided
with slender awns, giving it buoyancy
when propelled by the wind; there
are barbs, also, which serve to force
it into the soil, or cause it to remain
fastened to the coats of passing ami
mails. Furthermore, the secds are
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1894-07-28

advanced in their development by the
time the heads appear, consequently,
simply pulling and casting aside the
plants, even when apparently young,
is of little OF no avail.
It will be seen that throwing the
plants into the road in every way as
sists the distribution of a dreaded
weed. It would seem that the only
reliable mode of procedure Is to pull
and "burn " the plants in spring,
"before the heads appear"

How Ice Is Made at the

MANY NOVELTIES COMBINED.
Gliding Over Real Ice in a Balmy
Atmosphere Is a Most Popular
Amusement.

Skating on real ice in summer attire is
rapidly becoming one of he most popular
indoor amusemeDts in San Francisco. To
native sons and daughters who have never
experienced the rigors OF an Eastern
winter it is a thrilling novelty. To those
who have enjoyed the exhilarating sport in
"a land of bllZZ lrds and frosts it is made
more enjoyable by the fact that winter
dress is unnecessary.
These are only few of the reasons why
the frazen lake in the big Mechanics Pa
viiion, with nearly 10000 square feet of
polished surface is visited daily by hun
dreds who can skate and many who are
speedily learning. The sheet of ice ope-
rated by the Natural Ice Skating Com
pany is five inches in thickness, 160 feet
long and 90 feet wide. at least 800 per-
sons can skate with comfort at time, but
