deed was familiar with the
premises. but there is no clue
as to who did it.
The boiler to Leonard and
Green's sawmill near Gamewell
exploded last Friday about II
o'clock. The accident, it is
supposed, was caused by de-
fective steam gauge, which did
not register correctly.
No one was hurt, as the mill
had been stopped for the men
to eat dinner. The explosion
was terrific, completely demol-
ishing the boiler and injuring
some of the other machinery.
The loss is about $500, no in

PAINTBRUSH !
AND HOW TO KILL 1T.
Experiment Burlington
about

The Orange Hawkweed or :" Paint
brush " is the worst weed known in
certain portions of Vermont, and
threatens to invade other parts Of the
state unless precautions are taken.
1t is easily recognized by it's peculiar
hairy leaves and stem, and especially
by its conspicuous orange red blossoms.
1t is native of the mountainous re-
gions of Europe and has been intro
duced into this country as garden
flower. Itappears to have become well
established in this state within Is years.
and has spread most actively within Is
years. 1t is most troublesome in the
northwestern counties.
1t seems capable of rapid adaptation
to varying conditions, and thrives al
most equally we'll in all soils from sandy
loan to heavy clay, and at all attitudes.
Its further spread may therefore be eX-
pected.
The complete determination of any
weed, when once it is established, is a
practical impOssibility. The Hawkweed
is in Vermont to stay. Nevertheless,
prompt action rightly directed may
keep it from becoming more serious
pest. This weed has probably increased
ten fold in the state during the past de-
cade, yet it is not One-tenth as bad as it
NAV become in the state as whole.
The first and most important means
of fighting any weed where it is possible
to practice it, is cultivation. When
thorough cultivation with horse is
not practicable, aud IN ALL CASES
WHERE THERE is ONLY A SMALL
AMOUNT OF THE WEED PRES
ENT, very effective remedy is found
in SALT
7 his agent has long been used in
fighting weeds, but in most cases sucn
heavy applications are required as to
destroy the grass and other useful
plants along with the weeds. The
Orange HaWkweed is, however, re-
markedly sensitive to salt, being quick
ly killed by applications which do not
injuriously affect most other plants.
In order to determine the effect of
varying. amounts of salt upon both the
weed and the grass, adjoining plots
were staked out in piece OF grass land
which was badly infested with the
weed. Dry salt was soWn broadcast on
these at the rates respectively of 1000,
1000, 5000, 1000 and 5000 pounds per
acre. The heaviest application entirely
destroyed the Hawkweed and the grass
also. ALL OF THE LIGHTER
APPLICATIONS PROVED ULTI-
MATELY BENEFICIAL TO THE
GRASS, and in varying degree destruc-
tive to the weed. Most of the weed
was killed by the 1000 pound applica-
ton and EVERY PLANT OF IT
WAS KILLED BY THE APPLICA-
TON OF 5000 POUNDS PER ACRE.
In order to make more accurate COM
parison, ten stalks OF the grass OF aver
age size were cut from each plot, pho
t0graphed and weighed. Figure 5 is a
drawing from this photograph and
shows the relative appearance of the
grass from two plots. The ten plants
from the unsalted plot weighed II
grams, while those from the plot which
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1900-09-12

had received 5000 pounds of salt per
acre weighed rs grams, or NEARLY
TWICE AS MUCH.
Without going further into the de-
tails of the experiment, we find, after
repeated trials, that where the weed is
thoroughly established so as to cover
the entire ground, IS pounds per square
rod, or 5000 pounds per acre, sufficed to
destroy every plant of the Hawkweed.
In all cases upon our soil such applica-
lions of salt benefited the grass, but
injured or killed the clover When the
weeds are scattered, much less salt will
suffice. Ii but few plants occur, a
small handful of salt scattered over the
leaves will do the work.
1t must not be inferred that similar
applications of salt will prove equally
beneficial by doubling the grass yield
on all soils and under all circumstances.
Salt acts as fertilizer on land not be-
cause of any plant food it contains,
but, among other reasons, because it
may so act upon lnsolluble food ele-
ments already present 10 the soil as to
render them more soluble and hence
more readily available to the plant
Salt will therefore prove more bench
cial on some soils than on others. 1t
seems probable from our experiments
however, that this weed can be de-
stroyed in any soil by application of
salt, which will be at the same time
beneficial rather than injurious to the
grass. Some of the gains in our expert
ments must of course be attributed to
the indirect benefits to the grass result
ing from the destruction of the weeds.
Why does the salt kill the Hawkweed
so quickly2 This has not been fully
determined, but there is no doubt but
that it is chiefly by it's action in with
drawing water from the tissues of the
plant. Salt has strong attraction for
water, SO that when dry salt is placed
in moist atmosphere or on moist
surface, it absOrbs water rapidly. This
action occurs when the salt comes in
contact with the tissues OF the Hawk
weed. II we place few crystals of
salt on dry leaf of the weed, and ex-
anime it after short time, we no
longer find dry crystals but drops of salt
water. At the same time the leaf has
wilted, showing that the water has
been drawn from the interior of the
leaf.
The cheapest salt obtainable is rec
commended for use, as in our expert
ments this has proved about as effective
as the purer table salt. Ex-Gov. G. S.
Page of Hyde Park, VT, sells the refuse
salt from his hide warehouses, which
IS less pleasant to handle, but contains
some refuse matter which adds slightly
to its fertilizing value. The expense,
therefore, of Kidding the land of this
weed even when it is badly infested is
weed is only beginning its invasion, it
is very slight.
IN ALL CASES WHERE THERE
IS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF
THE WEED PRESENT WE WOULD
URGE THE USE OF SALT AS THE
QUICKEST AND SUREST MEANS
OF DESTROYING IT.
