TO KILL THE WEEDS
Receipt to XIII Choking Webs in
Grain

Prof. H. L. Bailey gives the
following account of expert
ments in spraying to kill weeds
in grain fields:
In 1896, I made some definite
efforts to test whether it could
be possible to kill young weeds,
especially young mustard plants,
in growing wheat by means of
chemicals sprayed over the wheat
and grain, without killing the
wheat in SO doing. The results
obtained with copper sulphate
and with mercuric bicloride
were surprisingly successful.
This, | believe, was the first ex-
pertinent along this line done in
any country.
In 1897 and 1898, more COM
plete experiments were conduc-
ted and it was decided that this
means of fighting weed pests is
a possible one for application,
in practice, on the farm; and a
report of the work was given
before the Society for the Pro-
motion of Agricultural Science.
At about the same time a French
scientist reported directly SINH
lar experiments upon killing
thistles. Since that time num-
erous experiments, especially in
Canada and in England, have,
with our own later work, made
it evident that in this method
of destroying weeds the farmers
of certain parts of this state can
get very great aid. We have not
made very much of the work,
heretofore, because we believe
that the royal road to clean
farms lies in the line Of clean
seed grain, proper soil cultiva-
ton, and crop rotation. How
ever, there are some farmers,
who, through their own fault or
that of some other careless
worker, need the help which the
spraying method can give.
The process is simple. The
solution to use is made of copper
sulphate (blue vitroD at the rate
of three pints to eleven gallons
of water or iron sulphate (cop-
peras) 100 pounds to so gallons
of water. When the young grain
is about four to eight inches
high, if mustard or kinghead is
too thick to@pull, get a handspray
cart or a wagon spray tank with
a force pump attachment. Fill
it with the solution and draw il
through the field, spray the so.
luton upon the weeds as the cart
moves along. Use type A noz.
zle, such as the Bordeaux, anc
set it so as to throw a rather
strong, coarse spray. Spray only
when the crop and weeds are ir
a rapidly growing condition
never when it is dry weather. Il
will not kill weeds then, and will
injure the grain. It is best tt
do the spraying just after rair
or shower, when there is but
little probability of rain agar
that day. Spray in the morning
hours only. The weeds have
soft, rough surfaces which alb
sorb the chemical poison. They
are thus killed, while the grair
which has less absorptive sur
faces is: only slightly affected

A New japanese DOGGY T

The Monroe doctrine is threat
ened, it appears, from a new
source. This time Japan has
been picked out by the interna-
tional political alarmists as the
aggressor. Following the cue
given by Count Okuma, the SEN
sationalist leader of the Japan
ese Progressives, who talked
some time ago OF, the acquisition
by Japan, in some way, of
spheres of influence" on the
west coast of South America, the
alarmists scent an Oriental
scheme for making trouble with
the United States. The details
are, of course, obscure and unset
tied, but somehow Japan is going
to obtain a foothold on the Amer
lean continent that will compel
Uncle Sam to sit up and take
notice, if the Monroe doctrine is
to be upheld.
Germany awhile ago was ac-
cused of cherishing ambitions of
the same sort on the eastern
coast of South America, or in
Brazil, where there is a consid-
|erable German colony. For some
Years we whetted. I our swords

Grazing On Forest Reserves.

HELENA, March 1S.-A decision of
great Importance to residents of Mon.
tana was handed down today by Judge
Hunt, in the federal court, in the case
of the government against Thomas
Shannon, in which he held that the
government has a right to make rules
and regulations which forbid the oc.
cupancy or use Of forest reserves by
persons for grazing livestock. In his
opinion Judge Hunt says:
believing, therefore, that the Sec
rotary of the interior has been law
fully authorized to make rules and
regulations which forbid the occu.
pancy or use of the reserve by defen.
dant for grazing his cattle, unless by
permission, and that defendant has
knowingly allowed his cattle to 20 up
on and remain on the reserve. no,
having q permit therefor as required
by the rules of the interior depart
ment, it follows that Injunction viii
lie to prevent him from allowing BIZ
cattle to enter or feed upon the re

Violated Federal Statute.

HELENA, March IA. Suit was
brought against the Great Northern
Railway company, in the federal court
today, by District Attorney Rasch,
acting under instructions from the de-
partment at Washington, to secure
judgment for $500, the penalty pre-
scribed for violation of the 2S.hour
law, respecting the time livestock shall
be kept iu transit. The complaint
alleges that, August "A, 1908, E. G..
Spike and G.. p. Bennett loaded l22
horses at Hilly ard, Wash, for ship
ment through Idaho and Montana to
Alberta. Two days later the animals
arrived at K~aispell and it is alleged
that the animals were confined in the
cars As hours and that they we're not
unloaded at any time for a rest, water
and feeding for at least five hours, as
prescribed by the law. Many Of the
horses died at Kalispell from lack of
proper attention.
The law provides that stock shall
not be kept in ear longer than %
hours. This is the first suit brought
in Montana.

Butte Pioneer Is Dead.

BUTTE, March Is. - George w.
Irwin, postmaster of Butte, and one
OF the best known of the pioneers of
this state and city, died at his apart
ments at the Thornton hotel this
morning at $50 CLOCK, from heart
disease. He had beer i'll but a few
days. and the end came rather sudden
ly. He was attened by DR.. Scanland.
George W. Irwin was one of the
men who came overland to this state
in 1863, and went to the placer mines
of Virginia City, working for some
time about Alder and California
gulches, and afterwards moving into
Deer Lodge and then to Butte.
He was born in Chicago sixty three
years ago, and moved from that city
with his parents TO Dubuque, Iowa.,
where he attended school till the war
broke out. He tried to enlist in
L~eavenworth, but his company was
rejected because the regiment a full,
and he enlisted in 1868 10 John Boze-
mans expedition to Idaho overland.
When the party, about 700 strong
reached the vicinity where Buffalo
now stands in Wyoming, they were
attacked by q strong band Of Indians,
and Mr.. Irwin with another went for
ward to get help from Fort Laramie.
The help was refused, and all the
party but ten, including Mr.. Irwin
and Bozeman, returned to the Platte.
This little band continued through the
hostile country, and named Bozeman
pass in the Gallatin valley. Near
this place they met two miners who
told them about the gold placers of
Alder gulch, and MIR. Irwin went to
Virginia City, where he engaged in the
mining business.
