this gave the Clarksburg would De

10 challenge the Fairmont Y. NJ. c. A.

more surprised after the game is over

have been beaten.

enough, but the seeds Of the parasite
left in the ground had apparently not
been affected by the salt, and produced
as many brcom-rap plants as before.
Crude, carbolic acid IL another cheap

good effect In the destruction Of weeds
having strong roots from which new
shoots appear when the tops are de-
stroyed. Burdock, curled dock, woody

fras. may be killed by It.
The great practical difficulty in de-
stroying weeds quickly over large
areas comes from the fact that cul-
tivated plants are like weeds In their
susceptibility to injury. only are less
hardy and as q result are In general
more likely to be severely injured by
herbicides than are the weeds. For
q long time to come. in all probability
It will be necessary to adhere largely
to the old-fashioned methods OF keep
Ing the weeds In subjection-namely
careful cultivation. rotation. and
watchfulness and the prompt recogni-
ton and destruction OF troublesome
weeds when they appear.
Iron sulfate has recently been tested
by US on large number Of common
weeds. with varying results. 1t has
but little effect on some and attacks
others promptly The grasses and
grains are largely exempt from injury.
and this has enabled experimenters in
northern oat fields to do good work
with It In destroying wild mustard.
In meadows and pastures we are
sometimes troubled with white-top and
with sour dock. Both weeds are at
tackled by 20 per cent solution Of
iron sulfate. and with a couple Of
sprayings with compressed-air spray.
er.
II Is possible TO kill most Of the
whlte-top and to prevent the sour dock
from producing seeds, at least until
after the bluegrass seeds. timothy
seeds and hay are harvested. This
matter 10 a special Importance be-
cause OF the frequency with which
sour dock seeds occur among timothy
and other seeds. With the use Of iron
su,fate 1t should be possible to keep
the weeds suppressed 80 that their
seeds will not appear In the seed crop
Of the grass.
The solution may be prepared by
dissolving 100 pound sack Of iron
sulfate In a barrel (50 gallons) OF wa.
ter. This gives somewhat more than
20 per cent. but is near enough for
practical purposes.

In this test they noted that silage
could be fed In amounts varying from

recommended silage free from mold

feeding horses large quantities Of
silage. especially after coming in from
heavy work when they are In heated

has been feeding horses for many
years on silage and favors its use.
especially for horses not at heavy
