HEALING RADIUM SPRING.
Curative Properties In Water Of Aus
TRAN Uranium Mines.

Curative Properties In Water of Aus
trian Uranium Mines.
About eighteen miles from Carlsbad
is the small town Of st. Joachimstal,
where the Austrian government has
one Of its tobacco factories, and about
three miles from that town, up in the
hills, at a place which is difficult to
reach, are the imperial uranium
works, which have become famous
during the last few years on account
of the radium found In the uranium
stone. There is also q government
factory at st. Joachimstal where
chemical colors are made from the
uranium and shipped to all parts of
the country. About two years ago the
imperial managers Of the uranium
mines made a report to the govern
ment authorities that the water of the
mine was found to contain radium,
and medical experts have since de-
clared that these waters are of high
medical value in certain diseases.
Recently most of the Austrian news
papers have published items according
to which the Austrian government is
convinced of the high value Of these
waters and intends to take charge
thereof. construct a proper radium
spring and build hotels, which it will
control.-COnsular Report.

makers, are to the orchardist money
savers. They are Of great value, mas
much as they destroy myriads of in

Farm fences should be kept in good

KILLING WEEDS.
Government Experts Claim That Iron
SuIphate Will Destroy Them.

At last weeds may be eradicated
without the trouble of pulling them up
by hand at the expense of time and an
aching back. The magical eradicator
of these pests of the gardener and
farmer is sulphate of iron or green
vitriol This will shrive up the rank
growths, While the grass will thrive.
The sulphate, which comes in the
form of green crystals. is dissolved in
water for application to the pernicious
weeds. y couple of pounds to the gal
Ion is said to be about the right guam
tity to settle the fate of the most de-
termined lawn dandelion that grows.
Wild mustard requires stronger dose.
and the farmer who goes on the war
path after this common destroyer is
advised to use from 10 to 100 pounds
of the stuff for each fifty-twO gallons
of water and then 80 forth for II

The solution is not to be applied
with an ordinary sprinkling can. 1t
probably would eat the can with more
avidity than it eats weeds even. y
spraying machine is necessary. The
introduction of Mr.. Sulphate to Mr..
Weed is performed in the tender youth
of the latter, when he is unsophisticat-
ed and about four inches high. The
presence of good, bright sun is said
to help the matter along, and if it hap
pens to be in the early morning when
the dew is still on the ground, why so
much the better. The sulphate works
in slow and leisurely fashion. and
for the first day or so the intruders
continue to stand up and pretend they
like it. On the second day, however,
they lose heart and ambition. They
become mourning weeds, the chief
mourners at their own funeral.
The process has been tried on the
wheatfields at the North Dakota ag-
ricultural experiment station as well
as in flax culture in Minnesota. Some
remarkable results are said to have
been obtained at the Cornell university
experiment station at Ithaca, N. Y.
Sulphate is said also to have establish
ed its usefulness in the oat fields Of
Wisconsin.

Trees Not Immune to Lightning.


According to DR.. A. w. Borthwick.
quoted in Science, the popular notion
that some species Of trees are very
frequently struck by lightning and 9TH
er species practically immune is not
justified by any obtainable scientific
facts. The lightning. he says, selects
one variety of tree as often as another.
except that the higher ones are perhaps
likely to suffer the most. One Of the
supposed immune trees is the beech,
and oaks and pines have an exactly
opposite reputation. They are, how
ever, all equally subject to destruction
by this form Of atmospheric electricity,
and if one must stand under a tree
during a thunderstorm one species is
as dangerous an another.

Points In Gardening.

There is little danger of making the
soil too rich for vegetable garden.
The use Of hand tools Is unnecessary
In the preparation Of seed bed If the
soil is worked at the proper time.
The labor Of hand wedding may be
reduced to minimum by planting in
freshly worked soil only. tilling close
to the rows early in the season and
permitting no weeds to rpen their
seed.
The use Of wheel hoe saves labor
in the care of garden even when
much Of the tillage is to be done with
a horse.
