HOW TO HANDLE sKUNKs.
Try Method Here Described and See
How Easy 1t Is to Avoid I'm
pleasant Results.

Frequently skunks will takeup their
abode about the farm buildings where
for various good reasons they are not
welcome guests. 1t is often a puzzling
question how to get rid of them without
a very unpleasant experience. A writer
in Bee Gleanings gives the following in
formation relative to trapping them:
Fasten the trap chain to the end of a
ten-foot pole or board, heavy enough so
they cannot drag it away. Then, instead
of putting them in nail key Tin which
ease you would have about 80 failures
dout of every 100 skunks, or shooting
them, in which case, If you try it, you
would think there were at least 200 fall
ures out of every 100 trapped) }, approach
the rear end of the pole or board eau
etiously, and fasten rope to it five or six
ieetSin#1ensth. Then start off slowly,
dragging skurlkaaud all after you. You
can drag them any distance you see fit,
and there will beFno .odor Then you
can dispatch them in any manner you
wish. But, kill them as.you will (unless
you take holdsof the pole and dip them
in water deep enough I'd. submerge
them), there willsbe odor. The object of
this method is to get the oder, if any,
safe distance from the houseofh bee yard.
Try this and see how easy anusure is

small so as to choke. Theopening at the
bottom on the face side is made the
shape Of an inverted v, running to the
back of the opening. They build two
of these side by side, only having par
.tition between them; then draw one
while the other is burning, and that
keeps the men employed all the time.
] One single arch costs about .$176. or a.
double one $500. There Is wood laid in
the. throat sufficient to start the fire;
then put In layer Of coal and then OF
limestone, continuing until it gets to the
top Of the Opening. This is worked in
this way when it is done for general
business, but If it is only.fori a farmer
who owns his own stone and wants lime
for his own use he can do it much
cheaper and without building the kiln
by laying upon the ground floor: OF
logs and timber, enough to make good
bed; then lay on the wood and stone the
same as in the kiln and build it up as
hay stack but flatter st the top, as you
get in more stone in that way, or it can
be built long and not round as wished.
This is the way for home use; 5000 to
10000 bushels can be burnt in heap Of
this kind. People use coal (buckwheat)
here for the purpose, but suppose the
same can be accomplished in using wood
and will be cheaper if wood is handy.
The cut shows the mode of building.
The kiln, built as describe will furnish
its. own draft and regulate itself. 1t
takes about two: Or three days and nights
to burn it and needs little attention il
burned in a heap. 1t is saving of the
stone, or burns up more of the stone by
covering the entire heap with clay or
soil of some kind except the extreme top.

Prove That the Use Of Chemicals
Produces Good Results.

Much Interest has been, shownat q
number of the agricultural:experiment
stations In the possibility of weed de-
struction4 by means Of chemicals AS
long ago rs 1895 1t was found at the Yer.
mont station that the orange hawk
weed, a serious pest in pastures and
meadows, could be destroyed without
injury to the grass by sowing salt over
the land at the rate Of 5000 pounds per
acre. Many experiments have since
been conducted at the same station with
other chemicals for the eradication of
weeds in walks, drives, courts, etc.
Among the chemicals tested were salt,
copper sulphate, kerosene, liver-of-sul
phur, carbolic acid, arsenic and salsoda,
arsenate Of soda, and two commercial
weed killers, the active principle of
which apparently was arsenic. The
weeds which it was sought to destroy
were plaintains, dandelion, chicory,
ragweed; knotweed and various grasses.
All the chemicals were applied in .solu-,
ton except the salt AS in the case Of
the hawkweed experiments, salt was
found efficient in destroying ALI the
weeds when applied dry and in large
quantity. When salt is used for this
purpose adjacent lawns should be pro-
$tected against washing. or they may be
injured. 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 q matter Of expense. All things
i considered, the arsenate of soda and the.
carbolic acid solutions proved the most
valuable chemicals for weed destruction
under the conditions of these expert
ments.-Farmers' Review.

such as cowpeas or clover, which are
known to be able to gather a large part
of their nitrogen from the air, would
naturally be much more difficult. Acid
phosphate has been found to increas..
greatly the yields of both the hay and
the peas, but especially the yield of peas.
One Of the most economical ways in
which to improve poor soil has been
found to be the growing of cowpeas,
fortified with acid phosphate. A good
plan In the case Of wornout soil is to
plant the peas in rows, using acid phos-
phate at the rate of 300 pounds to the
acre. The peas should be cultivated at
least twice. The seed can be picked or
the crop can be pastured of to good
advantage. In order to derive perman-
ent benefit from this method of soil i'm
provement it is not advisable to remove
the crop as hay unless the equivalent in
stable manure be returned to the land
The pea roots, stubble and fallen leaves
contain only about one-third Of the
