II is q rather tedious process, and
hard on tools to remove weeds or
grass from walks by hoeing or cutting
them out between the stones. but

sprays which a be used with good
success.

one gallon Of water, boil and apply

used and then watered In; but this

ter, boil and stir well. Then add
seven gallons Of cold water with two
pounds Of sal soda.
5. Lime and sulphur, ten gallons Of
water, twenty pounds of quickiime
and two pounds of flour Of sulphur
are boiled in an iron vessel. After
settling. the clear part is dipped on
and used when needed.
There are also a number Of com
mercial weed killers in the market
which can be bought at seed stores.
Applications Of weed destroyers
should best be made on a hot day,
or right after a rain, with a watering
pot (s%prinkler), and one good appli-
cation is usually sufficient for the
season. AS the most OF them contain
poison, either arsenic or acids, great
care should be exercised in handling
them.

Too Much Lie sIannhter.

It is the habit of the blackjack to
strut and fight with his rivals in an
open arena, while the gray hens sit
round as queens of the tournament.
The Russian sportsman builds a rough
hut Of boughs right on the spot, which
does not cen to scare the birds.
Then he sleeps there and waits till
the tournament begins in the morn
ing, when he may blaze away at any
Of the cocks except the old one, whose
death causes the spot to be deserted.
An English traveller in Russia says
that he knew of Russians who had
shot five or six cocks at one place sew
eral mornings running, but having
bagged one himself, he never had the
heart TO kill another.-Chicago News.

business Of one of the vests

1t a market and an outlet
here for its vast production
ond opening to us a new field

South and Central Idaho
have long wanted a connect

that part of Idaho began to
be developed the Southern
Pacific could have given it to
them. Its line is only a few
yards from the Western Paci-

the Idaho people, the Harri-
man system has alwaysretus-

cutoff would .'demoralizd

Likely enough. 1t would
certainly give the Snake river
valley cheaper and quickel
access to a better market than
it finds via Hartman lines
which put it 500 miles from
Portland and 1876 miles from
Salt Lake. The cut off would
mean to the older system a
considerable investment for
a trade which it already holds
tight and would also open the
way for competition.
