The most effective and practicable
method OF clearing dandclion in
tested lawn, otncr than bv hand. dig
ging. is by the Use OF iron sulphatc
applied as spray. The writer has
succeeded with three applications in
entirely killing all plants OF this com
mon lawn pest without injuring the
grass. A portion OF lawn so badly
infested that hardly anything t"t
dandclions was visible a year ago Is
now without a single plant and the
grass has thickcncd a good deal in
consequence.
A solution OF coppcras or iron sui
phatc made by dissolving at the rate
of ii pounds OF the salt in gallCn
of water should be applied TO the lawn

plant. 1t will not do to Use a com

put on in the form OF fine spray ap-
piled with some force to be most cf-

ing it makes fine. forciblc spray.
Do not try to hit the dandclions only
but cover every square inch OF the
lawn. In this way all seeding plants
will be killed. Put on second APP

summer il any of the dandclionS start

Pintsch Oil for Prairie Dogs.

Where it is desirable to kill prairie
dogs infcsting a small area, very
effective method is to fumigatc the
holes with Pintsch oil.
This is a by product from the use
of Pintsch gas in railroad cars. and
can be obtained at almost any rail
road center where there is Pintsch
gas factory. The price per gallon is
only about one tenth that OF carbon
bisulhd.
Three persons working together
can make the most progress with this
fumigant One person should go
ahead and fill all the dog holes that
are evidently unoccupicd. Another
man armed with can of the oil and
a sack of dried horse or COW chips
follow A chip is saturated with
about two tablcspoonfuls of oil and
dropped into the mouth of each hole
1t is well to push it back with 4 stick
so that it will fall to the bottom. A
third person Immediately fills the
mouth OF the hole with clod OF
earth. In this way good many acres
can be treated in a day.
Tho evaporation of the gas i'll the
prairie dog hole suffocates any liv-
ing creatures there.
The gas is very inflammable and
care must be taken to prevent fire in
