planters to distinguish between funda

not so valuable for itself as for the

BEAUTIFUL,
CONVERTED SANDY, ROCKY
YARD INTO PRETTY GARDEN
Jsrssyman,s Experience Should % {
Lesson For All Others.

The village cynic Of Rutherford. N.
J., told John 81. Williamson that grass
would not grow In his, yard. This
was just after Mr.. Williamson had
bought an unstghtly lot In that village
and moved there. And at first it
seemed as If the cynic was right. The
back yard was composed largely Of
red Jersey sand and rocks. The idea
Of converting it into the prettiest gar
den in the town seemed absurd.
But Mr.. Williamson wanted gar.
den. He wanted flowers and lots Of
them. He wanted to dig in the earth
and wanted roses for his friends He
set out to show the populace Of Ruther-
ford that flowers could be made to
grow in Jersey sand. Now he has
one of the most beautiful gardens in
that state. and his neighbors, inspired
by his success or envious of bis
achievement. have likewise improved
their yards. Spots which two years
ago were dumping grounds for tin cans
are now magnificent gardens. The ef-
feet Of the single garden has been mar.
velOus.
The first thing Mr.. Williamson did
was to get the sand and rocks out OF
his yard. Every afternoon he hauled
wheelbarrow full of rocks to the
woods, half mile away. On his re
turn trip he brought load Of good
wood soil. In one month he had two
flower beds.
This was in the middle of May, and
the question arose. What shall plant!

Worms in Horses.

There is no one specific or hes,
treatment for this trouble. Horses
have many different kinds of worms
inhabiting different parts of the in
testines and requiring somewhat diff
ferent treatments. If those who cal
on the Experiment Station for infor
nation on the subject could give more
specific information, describing the
worms, or would send US sample
we could give more definite. advice
concerning treatment. 1t is good
plan to keep mixture of equal parts
of salt and sifted hardwood ashes con
stantly before horses.
For the white worms, six to twelve
inches long, and other common worms
living free in the intestines, try the
following treatment: First give 8
mild physic, such as pint to quart
of raw linseed oil. Feed little or nc
hay for three days. On the fourth
day give two to three ounces, that is
from five to seven tablespoonful OF
turpentine in pint of raw linseed OIL
Repeat the same dose of turpentine
and linseed oil on the fifth day, and
repeat the whole process beginning on
the fifteenth day from the start.
This dose is for a thousand-pound
horse and should be given about in
proportion to weight. Judgment
should be used concerning the condi
ton and strength of the horse and
how easily any particular horse is at
fected by cathartic medicines. Never
give severe physic to any horse that
is thin and weak. .. -

KILLING WEEDS IN PATHS.
Poisoning the Earth With Oil Proves
H.; the Best Method. r...

H. tho Best Method. .-..:.
Several methods are resOrted to in
killing weeds in paths and roads, and
the writer believes that the best and.
in the end the cheapest. is the use Of
crude oil or petroleum. Better still.
clean weeds out of roads and paths
first. Shape latter up as you wish
them, roll smooth and hard and apply
crude oil with watering can having
coarse rose or sprinkler. Sift fine
sand in oil and allow it to get some
what dry, then roll again, having
enough sand on top so the oil will not
stick to the roller. After few days
the oil will be dry enough to allow
sweeping the surplus sand up and re.
moving it. If such paths are frequent
~ rolled there will soon be NEEDLESS
paths that are in good order for all
time.
But for simply killing weeds and
rendering the soil unfit for their future
growth no poison is better than white
arsenic. It is the cheapest of all poi
sons and effectually destroys all plant
life. One pound of the arsenic to a
barrel Of water should be strong
enough. Dissolve the arsenic in a
small quantity of hot water and add
to the barrel Of cold water. This solu-
ton may be applied with spray pump
or sprinkling can. Care should be
taken that the poison dries up or evap-
crates in the paths. for rain or a gar
den hose left leaking might carry this
poison to some tree or shrub, resulting
in sure death. If the solution as here
given does not kill all the weeds make
it stronger; the cost Is very little.
