WEEDS IN LAWNS.

Troublesome Plants.

How to Get Rid of Common and
Troublesome Plants.
The Vermont experiment station has
given considerable attention to the ex-
termination of the more common and
troublesome lawn weeds, and II ad-
vances the following conclusions:
Apparently most of the coarser,
deeper rooted perennlals can Dest be
combated by frequent spudding or cut
ting out and close moving accom-
panied by proper fertilization, water
ing and abundant seeding with the
proper lawn grass at favorable sea
sons. Dandelions, plantains, white
daisies and the docks are best dealt
with in this way. These plants all have
q distinct crown" near the surface.
A remedy used with some success
against these pests consists OF the APP
pllcation of few drops of strong
acid to the center of this crown. Sui
phuric acid may thus be applied with
glass tube or crude carbolic acid
with a common metal oil can. In most
cases, however, we believe spudding
TO be the better method.
Weeds of Creeping Hnbit.
There Is another class of weeds
which are very shallow rooted and sue

me aDundant promotion or seed on
PROSTATE stems. The orange hawk
weed, or paint brush (Hieracium au-
rantiacum), smaller crab grass Pani-
cum Ineare) and common chickweed
(Stellaria media) are three Of the more
troublesome of this class. Salt, when
properly applied. is perfect remedy
against the hawkweed. 1t has seemed
worth while to try it along with vari-
Gus different remedies and methods
against the other two weeds The out
come In the case of the crab grass has
not favored the use OF salt, but with
the chickweed 1t has proved a very
satisfactory herbicide. as the following
accounts will show:
That Exnspernting Chickweed.
First-Treatment either by raking or
by sowing of salt or both combined
were far more effective against chick
weed when made the last week Of June
than when made earlier in June, In
May or In the late autumn. This was
possibly in part due to the fact that the
growth Of chickweed was farther ad-
vanced and doubtless in part to the
drier and hotter weather prevailing
then and Immediately thereafter.
Second.-Tearing out the chickweed
at this time (June 25) by thorough
raking followed by the raking in of an
abundant seeding of grass destroyed
most, but not all, of the pest
Third.-The application at 4 dry time
- %xx-> ~ ef 70
square rod, followed by the thorough
raking out of the chickweed and by a
liberal sowing Of grass seed well raked
in was completely successful in exter-
minating the chickweed and In secur-
ing a full stand of grass.
We suggest that any one employing
salt on lawn do so cautiously and on
n small scale at first as the effects will
doubtless vary somewhat with soil and
season.
One Must "step Lively" In HayinE.
The principal risk is with clover hay.
II cut in June the weather Is SO tickle
and showery that the hay is in danger
of being wet and badly damaged In the
swath, windrow or low cock. Our way
Is to watch the barometer and the
winds and cut about . to 4 p. M, when
the weather promises to be fair for
forty-cight hours. ted before sundown
ted twice more before noon next day
rake by 3 p. IN. and cock 1t In tall. slim
cocks or even draw it right to the barn
If 1t is dry enough. Tedding with
good one horse or two horse teddel
costs very little, and three or even fou'
teddings may fit the clover for the barr
in twenty -four hours from cutting ant
save the fuss of cooking and opening
and the danger Of drenching. Ont
