Will KILLDANDELIONS
Effective Way of Getting Rid of the
Objectionable Plant.

Last year the Herald published the
below recipe for Kidding the lawns
and gardens of the pesky dandelions.
1t was given by writer in the Abba
Republican. 1t was given test by
number of our citizens and found to
be Just as recommended. Among
others who followed directions was
William Burnside whose large and
beautiful lawn was overrun by the
obnoxious weed. He found the rem
edy most effective and assure enough
exterminater. We have had several
inquiries for the recipe this spring
and here publish it that all may be
benefited. 1t is inexpensive. Give 1t
a trial.
To XIII DandeIions.
Young dandelion plants are killed
by spraying with a 20 per cent solu-
ton of sulphate of iron. Old plants
are badly injured, the foliage being
wholly destroyed, but the growing bud
is not killed and the old root sends
up new foliage. Apply dry sulphate
of iron to the heart Growing bud) of
the old plant produces death. Repeat
ed spraying of middle aged and old
plants results in their death.
To destroy young dandelion plants
by spraying, dissolve two pounds OF
sulphate of iron in a gallon of water,
stirring with stick to hasten solu-
ton, and apply with a hand sprayer.
Use one gallon solution to one square
rod grass plot. If the first application
is not completely successful, spray a
second time. Repeated spraying will
be rewarded by the eradication of the
plant.
The grass and clover will be black
ened and appear killed, but this need
cause no alarm: they are not MORALLY
injured and in few days recover and
grow with increased vigor.
The solution can be made and spray.
ed over square rod plot of grass in
less than half an hour. Freshly cut
lawn grass leaves are very suscepti-
BILE to injury by spraying with sui.
phate Of iron solutions; therefore, dc
not spray lawn to kill dandelions for
several days before or after cutting.
Sulphate OF iron may be applied in
as large quantities as fifty pounds to
a square rod to a lawn without per.
manent injury to the blue grass. Re-
member the sulphate iron discolors
cement walks and linens.

MAhASKA REAL ESTATE.
March Was Bumper" Month for
Transfers of Property.

The magnificent showing in the Ma
haska county realty market for the
month of March most surely serves
to indicate without fear of the slight
est contradiction that the day when
Mahaska county farms were doubt
full propositions-if there ever was
such a time--has passed, has gone
forever.
The total value of the real estate
transfers for the month as shown by
the books of County Recorder Shoe
maker, was 1883, 1890 But a very
small per cent of this amount is rep.
resented in city property, there being
but few transfers and none of them
large nature. At the same time there
should be added to this total tbous-
ands of dollars, for in more than a
score of deeds the consideration is
given at the nominal sum of one
dollar. Several of the largest and
most valuable transfers of the month
bore this consideration. A conserva-
tive estimate places these at an aver.
age value of $4,000 each.
March was surely busy month for
buyer, seller and the real estate men,
who took part. ..
The outlook is good and the coming
summer will show most healthy
condition in the realty market in both
city and country property. Farms
have sold high in price per acre, but
the end Is not yet Before another
March rolls round an appreciate in
crease will come to every acre of
old Proud Mahaska's domain. Vacant
city lots are being sought and being
improved and by the time SNOW
flies Oskaloosa will have added large
ly to her population, and new resi-
dences will be scattered all over the
city, and what will be true of Oska-
loosa will likewise be true of every
town and village in the county.
The demand in the business section
of the city Is growing stronger. New
being contracted for to be erected this
summer, old business houses are be-
ing added to and modernized. New
fronts and fixtures and arrangement
are everywhere in evidence-up one
street and down the other. And
best of all, they are occupied by
prosperous business. You can count
on the fingers of one hand very empty
store room in Oskaloosa and several
of these are not in repair fit to be
occupied.

THE CANVASS IS ON
Subscription For Chautauqua Aud
itorium Being Solicited.

The city committee to solicit funds
for the new Chautauqua auditorium
met at the Commercial Club rooms
Friday night and organized for work.
The canvass will be started early in
the week, and the proposition to pur-
chase grounds and build modern
Chautauqua auditorium Is now square.
~ up to the business and professional
people of Oskaloosa. Stock is now
being solicited all over this county
for that purpose and surely Oskaloosa
ought to be willing to do her part.
The ChautauQua is the most repre-
sentative county affair ever organized
in ;Mahaska and the farmers as a
whole are taking more interest in 1t
than anything else ever originated in
this county. Out of about $50 stock
holders, about 300 OF them reside out
side of Oskaloosa. This certainly
shows a great interest in it's success
by the farming community.
Oskaloosa ,as the county seat, must
furnish entertainment for the people
of the county. 1t must be recognized
that people need not go away from
home in order to be able to hear the
worlds best. It's up to this city to
40 that
The Chautauqua Is essentially an
uplift to any city and community. 1t
brings people here from all over the
county and from all the surrounding
towns. Please, also, remember this
fact, the Chautauqua has been In eX'
istence five years and has never cost
Oskaloosa a cent in donations. Now,
read that statement over again, and
let it soak through. Do you know OF
anything else that has cost you moth,
ing, that has brought so many people
to the city?
Last year, for instance, there was
an average of 5000 people day at.
tended the Chautauqua for eleven
days. Isn't that worth while from a
business standpoint alone?
This years program Is the most ex.
pensive by several hundred dollars OF
any yet given. We ought to have a
much larger attendance, and will, il
we have an auditorium of sufficient
capacity to properly and comfortably
seat the people. Besides this, on
account of its nearness to the city,the
auditorium can be used for other gath.
erings.
The Board Of Directors have bone
carefully over the matter and all
things considered, have chosen the
site north of Penn college. The
Chautauqua is essentially an outdoor
proposition and should be treated as
such. 1T has been successful, having
about 1890 onSinterest, which will
be used on grounds and buildings
Stock will he issued dor all shares

long to the stockholders.
The Board of Directors will decide
on April IA, whether or not the audi.
forum will be built this year and il
the returns from the present solicita,
ton are not sufficient to warrant It,
the matter will be dropped. -.
