FARM AND GARDEN.
sERvlcEARLE SPIDER.
IL Is Clearing Florida Waters of the
Hyacfnth Pest

Hyacinth Pest.
Nature is doing the work that man
has thus far failed to do in clearing the
rivers Of Florida of the water h yacinths
that inIest that region. These plants
have filed the streams and in many
places have completely obstructed navi-
cation. The situation grew to be so
serious that the state asked the govern
meut for aid and an officer of the army
was detailed TO study the matter and
report a remedy. Meanwhile a little
red spider has been Matching out on
the hyacinths themselves and has be-
come so numerous that it is hoped the
cure has been found. The spider feeds
on the leaves and stems Of the floating
plants and in a short time after the
insect has attained its growth the
hyacinfh dies and floats away. its roots
no longer INTERVIEWING with those Of
its neighbors 10 cover the stream with
an almost solid surface Bunches of
the hyacinths bearing the spiders have
been distributed through the waters
that are most seriously INSTRUCTED and
il is believed that in the course of a
year or two the now choked streams
viii have been restored to commerce
Science should now seek for the proper
sort of worm or bug or fly 10 cause the
destruction Of the Russian thistle that
makes miserable the lives of the farm
e-s in the northwestel states. If such
cure could be found for this pestif-
erous plant, which has already cost
several millions of dollars in ruined
crops and fruitless efforts AT eradica-
ton, the people of the Dakotas and the
neighboring states would offer up
heartfelt thanks. These TWO plants.
the hyacinth and the thistle, have
proved parallel banes TO life and.
strangely enough, neither is native TO
America, the thistle coming from Rus
STA in shipment of grain and the by
acinth having been brought from Ven
ezuela by the proprietor of a Florida
summer hotel for ornamental purposes.

livered the best discourse that the peo-
pie of Antonito have been privileged TO
listen to in many years. His subject
was the existence of God. and though n
man We're an inhdel he would have
been compelled to admit that a God
must have been in existence long
enough at least to endow the orator
with his gift of eioquence. Elder
Taylor followed with remarks upon
the subject Of baptism. The object
of the meeting was to give the outside

ates that run lower. The work on the
property Is only some % feet deep.
THIS claim is on the headwatcrs of

Mr.. Head has several nuggets Of
copper roasted out of the frying pan
and had to pick the nuggets from the
ashes. One of them is as large as
chestnut.
Mr.. Head also has n specimen from
another property that he has tust
stalSed. Recently there was cloud
burst In that section that secured out
the gulches and exposed the forma-
tion in many places AT one point MIR.
Head found n ledge exposed that is
some 10 or II feet wide. The ore is
heavy with iron pyrites, hut it Is not
yet known whether It is of any value
If an assay proves the ore valuable,

necessary work on the claim.

Iron County Record No little ex-

ore in Leeches canyon. about 10 miles

is over s feet in width by an unknown
length. and contains n l0-inch vein Of

on either side of the lead is 4 strip of
trachite which assays high IN gold and

The original discoverers were Dan

been made in that vicinity ana many
