we crushed a yard of stone every

An Important Industry Confined to .
Limited Area.
Though the peppermint crop Of this
country has very small acreage COM
pared with many other crops, yet it is
OF considerable Importance in some
sections of the country. The crop was
first introduced into New York from
Massachusetts ABOUT 1910, and fifteen
years later into Michigan. Wavne
county, n. y, is the largest center of
peppermint growing, but large quanti-
ties are also raised in southern Miehi-
gan and northern Indiana. The Wayne
county product commands q higher
price than any other kind of pepper
mint oil.
The cultivation of peppermint is sim
pie, but great deal of labor is re-
quired to keep the fields free from
weeds The propagation is by roots
which are dug and planted in drills as
close together as is possible, allowing
room for cultivation. Weeds are the
great enemy and must be fought con-
stantly. There is one in particular
which, unknown as yet outside the
peppermint fields, is continual men,
ace to the purity of the oil product 1t
is termed rag weed, but it is totally
unlike the weed commonly so called.
The oil yield varies from ten to thirty
pounds an acre. Two-thirds of that
produced is exported. Peppermint
growing is crop that requires skill
and experience, and the necessary APP
paratus for distilling Is expensive, so
that it would not pay any individual
to 60 into the business unless on Q
large scale.-N. Y. World.

ELECTRIC WEED KILLER.
tts Inventor Claims to uavc Rr,no,, ,

ts inventor Claims to Havc brought IL
Down to Practical shape.
The electric weed-lkiller. which was
experimental upon some time ago with
varying results, is said to have been
brought down to practical shape. The
device was intended originally for the
destruction of grass and weeds alonr
railroads. 1t is now proposed to ex
tend its application to land covered bv
noxious weeds. such as the Canadian
ana Russian thistle, cookie burrs and
the like. 1t is expected to he especially
valuable in the destruction of plants of
the thistle tribe, in which the root
must be destroyed in order to aunihi-
late the weed. 1t is claimed that the
use of the electric ed-killer will re-
duce the cost of keeping railway lines
clear of vegetation from $40 to $50 per
mile per year The operation of the
device is based on the varying con-
ductivity of vegetables; the more
moisture they contain the less re-
sistance they offer to the current. The
apparatus consists of an alternating
generator mounted on a car, producing
electricity at 1000 volts pressure. and
stepped up" to from 5000 to $4,000
volts, according to the kind and quality
OF the vegetation to be DESTROYED. The
current, after being raised to the re-
CURED voltage, is conducted through
series of fine wires or ''brushes" to the
tops OF the weeds or grass; the other
side Of the current being made through
the wheels of the car to the ground.
The current leaps from the suspended
brush to the weeds, and passes through
them to the ground, thus completing
the circuit. The current traverses the
entire length of the plant, from the
topmost leaf to the roots, rupturing its
cellular tissue and completely destroy
ing it. The root is generally affected
more than the rest of the plant, from
the fact that it contains more moisture.
In many cases the current, in passing.
heats the plant to such an extent that
it cannot be held in the hand. It is
said that the apparatus can be quickly
equipped, and at no, great expense.

Suggestion for Melon Growers.

In pr eparing land for melons in the
future. the department of agriculture
says: Growers will e nd it of great adj
vantage to plow in the fall-early
rather than late-and leave the land
bare during the winter. Then, in the
early spring, as soon as the grass be-
Gins to come up in adjoining fields,
SprinlSle here and there throughout
the field which is to be planted to
melons, lunches of grass, or any other
green vegetation which has previously
been poisoned by sprin king with
paris green in solution. Such of the
cutworms as may be present in the
land will feed upon this vegetation and
will be killed. 1t will also have the
effect Of destroying many of the wire
worms
