DIDN'T KILL HYACINTHS.
Acid Burned OFF the Tops and Cows
That Drank the Water Died.

New Orleans, La. Nov. 2e.-The expert
ment tried by the lumbermen and plant
ers along Bayou Leong in st. Mary's
parish to get rid of the water hyacinths
where they have stopped navigation has
been productive of unexpected results,
killing large number of cattle and pois-
oning the people who drank the water of
the bayou.
Congress has made an appropriation to
free the clogged waterways of Louisiana
and Florida from the water hyacinths
that have overrun these streams but the
government agents were not quick enough
about it to suit the people of the Bayou
Leong. They set about opening the bayou
by sprinkling a powerful acid the
plants. The acid proved of little value,
for it simply burned off the tops of the
hyacinths, leaving the roots to obstruct
