ERADICATING BAD WEED.
Prof. Burns of University Trying to
Rid Ont Field OF NnIe.

Professor George p. Burns of the Uni
versity of Vermont, who IS directing ex-
per!ments now being made at the farm
of Tracy Brothers in Shelburne in the
effort to eradicate kale from an oat
field of about three acres. said last night
that the effect OF the treatment applied
Friday may have been destroyed by the
hard rain OF the past two days.
The solution used in the experiments
was made up of 100 pounds of iron
suphate in Sc gallons of water. and the
quantity applied was from 50 to 10 gal
Ions TO the acre. A common spray is
used and the solution is best applied
at about the time when the kale BIOS
sons appear. The treatment works best
in cloudy weather without rain.
Fields often become infected with kale
through clover seed. the law not offer
ing sufficient protection to purchasers
of seed. The iron sulphate treatment
also affects other weeds than kale. Oat
leaves have a wax covering which pro-
tects them from the solution. but kale,
dandeions and plantain weeds do not.
Dandeions in grass can there fore be
destroyed by this means But corn Is
liable to injury from the solution, I'M
less care is taken.

CITY MILK SUPPLY.
Cattle Commissioner Davis Finds Com
ditiOns Much Better Than Formerly.

The State cattle commissioner and vet
erinaries have been busiy engaged during
the past four weeks in looking into the
condition of the cattle from which this
city receives its milk supply, and with
one or two marked exceptions have found
conditions much better than formerly.
About LOCO head of cattle have been test
ed and about 70 of these have been found

found. for the most part, distributed
among u few herds whore the owners
have been exceedingly careless and have
been opposed 10 having their cattle tested
In one herd. only a short distance from
the city, "a diseased cows were found,
while a large number OF herds were found
to be in perfect condition. When the COWS
are ordered killed. the State pays rs per
cent. OF the appraised value up to $50 but
even this Ia not considered fair by a
number who persist In following up the
habits Of years and are antagonstic to
anything progressive.
Where a herd Is found to be infected
the disease can always be traced to cows
purchased from an infected herd and by
this careessness In purchases a large
number Of cattle are lost yearly. An
other big factor In making It difficult to
stamp out the plague is poor ventilation
in the stables Each COW needs 500 cubic
