lowed out it is almost certain to
prove effective. The work may be
done with tool similar to a broad
scraper without back.
A liberal application of lime in
pastures and meadow will improve
the growth of grasses and clovers,
and thus aid in crowding out garlic.
This will be found especially effect.
i've in soils deficient in lime. as is
the case throughout large proper
ton of the garlic-infested area.
Hogs confined on garlic patches
in sandy land will root out the bulbs
and destroy them, and in some in
stances good results have been OBJ
tanned by blowing the land and
turning them on. Sheep pastured
in garlic-infested fields late in au-
tumn and early in spring will thin
out the plants by preventing the
development of leaves. In some cases
it may be necessary to salt garlic
occasionally to induce the sheep to
get taste sufficient to overcome
their natural dislike for it.
After wild garlic has been thinned
out by any of the above methods, or
where the plants are still confined to
isolated patches, complete eradica-
ton can be most economically effect
ed by the application of carbolic
acid. A single drop of strong car
bolic acid on leaf or shoot will kill
the shoot and the bulb from which
it grows. Half teaspoonful APP
piled so as to strike the shoots
in a bunch as they grow in pastures
and lawns will kill the entire bunch.
The cheaper quality of commercial
carbolic acid, retailing at 80 to 40I
cents per gallon, is effective for this
purpose. This should be used with
little or no dilution. 1t is easily APP
piled with a common machine oil
can or a garden watering pot with a

TIMELY RESCUE.
A Demented and Dirty Mortal Who
Lived in a Hole.

s. HoekScra, an officer of the Salvation
Army, yesterday rescued an unknown
and apparently demented man from
death by exposure.
Learning that a man was living in a
filthy hut out beyond Guthrfe's Sta
tfon, with little or nothing to eat or
wear, HoekScra went out there and
found the unfortunate creature in a
worse condition than he expected. He
had dug "a hole in the ground and over
it constructed a kind of shelter of brush,
old tin cans, rags, etc, and in this cold
and damp dug-out he was living in
filth, his only companions being rats
and ver1Ilin galore.
HoekScra satisfied himself the man
was mentally unbalanced and tried to
induce him to come to town with him.
but could not prevail ON him ITO quit his
hut Subsequently Hoekscra went out
again, this time determined to make the
man accompany him. After much 'trou-
bic he succeeded, and the shivering
half-starved creature was taken to the
Food and Shelter of the Salvation
Army, where he was cleanSed, fed and
supplied with clean and warm clothing.
Last night the man-who appears to
be a Swede or orwegian-declared
that duty demanded he should return
to his hut, and the army people believe
they will have ito turn him over to the
Sheriff for safe-keeping.
