CHEMICAL WEED KILLING.
Arsenate of Soda and CarbOIic Acid
the Leading Destroyers.

Arsenate of Soda and CarbOIic Acit
the Leading Destroyers.
A subject of growing interest is thai
of the possibility of successfully fight
ing weeds with chemicals. 1t is told
that as long ago as 1895 1t was found
at the Vermont station that the orange
hawkweed, serious pest in pastures
and meadows, could be destroyed with
out injury to the grass by sowing salt
over the land at the rate of 5000
pounds per acre. At the same station
other chemicals afterward tested fol
the eradication of weeds In walks
drives and courts have been salt, cop
per sulphate, kerosene, liver of sui
phur, carbolic acid, arsenic and sal
soda, arSenate of soda and two com
mercial wood killers, the active prin.
ciple of which apparently was arsenic.
The weeds which it was sought to de
stroy were plantain, dandelion, chic
DRY, ragweed. knotweed and various
grasses.
All the chemicals were applied in So
luton except the salt AS in the case
Of the hawkweed experiments, salt
was found efficient in destroying all
the weeds when applied dry and in
large quantities.
When salt is used for this purpose,
adjacent lawns should be protected
against washing, or they may be in
jured.
Crude carbolic acid, one pint in four
pints Of water, applied at the rate Of
eight gallons per square rod was very
efficient. The various arsenical prep
arations proved valuable as weed de-
stroyers, and choice between them was
largely matter of expense.
All things considered, the arsenate
of soda and the earbolic acid solutions
proved the most valuable chemicals
for weed destruction under the condi-
tons Of these experiments.

STRONG SPRING COLONIES.
Young Queens of the Previous Sea-

Young Queens of the Previous Sea-
SON Are the Ones to Build On.
How to get colonies up strong in
numbers in spring is the secret of
large honey crops. This, as A. H. Duff
tells in Farm, Field and Fireside. to
great extent depends upon ourselves
and the management we give them.
We may think the bees will build up
of themselves without our assistance,
we can assist them and thus turn IN
profitable colonies into profitable ones
and surplus crop of a few pounds of
honey into a crop of hundreds of
pounds. We can take fairly weak colo
MES at the end of the winter If they
are healthy and build them up to
strong stocks in time for the honey
season and have them store good. profit
able surplus crops of honey when they
would not otherwise do so if left to
their own management.
In the first place, it is necessary to
have good queens to begin with. and
this should have been attended to the
fall previous. when every colony should
be closely inspected In this particular,
having had record kept of all queens
during the summer and all the old
queens superseded with young ones. If
we have old queens to begin work with
In spring. our work in most cases Is in
vain. because such queens are not pro-
life, and all we can do in the direction
of getting them strong and keeping
them down to storing honey is in most
cases failure. Old queens seem to be
entirely satisfied with a hive half full
of bees. and even then they want to
swarm, and no manner of management
will change their minds.
Young queens of the previous sea-
sons rearing are the ones to have in
the hives in spring to begin TO build on.
With good, attentive feeding during
times when honey is not coming in
from the fields. they will seldom fail
to bring every colony up to good stand
ard requirements at the beginning of
the honey season. and proper manipula-
ton with the honey boxes, with plenty
of storage room at all times through
the honey season. will bring good re-
suits in the way of heavy honey crops.
An unpleasant note in the generally
satisfactory agricultural conditions, ac-
cording to American Agriculturist, is
the scarcity of good farm labor at good
prices throughout the country from the
Dakotas to New Jersey and New Eng
land.

flowers had been small the fruits were
large. weighing from three pounds to

TO strengthen the existing idea that old

One part finely ground barley.
One part ordinarily ground corn

the milk is made near the boiling point,
the tallow, which should be chopped
fine, will be melted by 1t when poured
on the ground grains; or the tallow
may be melted in the hot milk. The
birds should be fed all they will eat
twice a day. Carefully collect all I'M
eaten food. Leave none to turn sour,
and feed none in that condition.
Care should be taken to free the
birds from vermin before cooping. This
may be done by rubbing sulphur well
into the feathers or by one of the lice
exterminating powders.
Pens and premises should be kept
scrupulously clean.
Grit and water should be supplied
regularly. Three weeks should be suf-
ficient to fatten the birds satisfac-
torily.

Chinese Who May Return,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Attorneyt
General Griggs in an opinion rem
dered upon the request of the Score
tary OF the Treasury, holds, first,

Islands, in 1886, of Chinese parents
who are lahorers and taken to China
with his mother in 1890, is entitled
to re'enter the Territory OF Hawaii,
where his father still resides; Sec
ond, that the wife and children of
a Chinese person, who was naturA-
lized in 1887 in Hawaii and still
resides there, are entitled to enter
that Territory "by virtue of the
citizenship" Of the husband and
father.
This opinion is based upon the
assumption that the Chinese per-

lied respectively in the Hawaiian
Islands, were ir fact citizens Of
Hawaii under its laws and regula-

not abandoned nor lost their rights
