KILL THE WEEDS
BY SPRAYING THEM
WHEN YOUNG

w I1EN IOONI
Attention has of late been directed
toward finding substance that will
destroy weeds quickly and leave land
i'll a condition for crops. For many
years common salt has been employed
! along walks and elsewhere to kill
weeds, and can be made to do service
in this direction if used in sufficient
quantities, but always leaves the soil
for some time unsuited to the growth
of plants OF any sort | have tried it in
excessive quantities for brome-rape of
hemp and tobacco, and found it would
keep the pest from growing one year,
but also prevented the growth of
hemp. The next year hemp grew well
enough, but the seeds of the parasite
left in the ground had apparently not
been affected by the salt, and produced
as many broom-rape plants as before
Crude carbolic acid is another cheap
herbicide that can be employed with
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
plants, such as persimmon and sassa-
iras, 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 a result are in general
more likely to be severely injured by
herbicides than are the weeds. For
long time to come. in all probability
IL will be necessary to adhere largely
to the old-fashioned methods of keep
ing the weeds in ubjection-namely
careful cultivation. rotation, and
watchiulness and the prompt recogni-
ton and destruction of troublesome
weeds when the appear.
Iron sulphate has recently been test
ed by us on a large number of com.
mon weeds. with varying results It
has but little effect on some and at
tacks other promptly. The grasses
and grains are largely exempt from in
jury, and this has enabled experiment
ers in northern oat fields to do good
work with in destroying wild mus
tard.
In meadows and pastures we are
sometimes troubled with white-top
and with sour dock. Both weeds aie
attacked by 20 per cent solution OF
iron sulpnate. and with a couple OF
sprayings with compressed air
sprayer.
1t is possible to kill most of the
white-top and to prevent the sour
dock from producing seeds, at least
until after the bluegrass seeds, tim
othy seeds and hay are harvested
This matter is special importance
because of the frequency with which
sour dock seeds occur among timothy
and other seeds. With the use of iron
sulphate it should be possible to keep
the weeds suppressed so 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
sulphate in a barrel go gallons) of
water. This gives somewhat more
than 20 per cent, but is near enough
for practical purposes-By Walter b
Leutz.

POULTRY THRIVE ON CLOVER

The value of clover as feeding stuff
for poultry is not appreciated as it de-
serves to be, for when wisely used it
is capable of giving most excellent
results. AS an important aid to egg
production its merits have long been
recognized. 1t should form part of the
bill of fare in the poultry run the
whole year through, especially where
the object is the production of the
maximum quantity of eggs.

A superfuous male means waste OF

CROSSING DAIRY COWS

1t is a poor policy to try to improve
upon any breed of dairy cattle by
crossing one breed upon another. This
has been done in some cases, but it
never gets one anywhere. There may
be exceptional instances, but for each
of these there will be hundreds that
will be worthless.

ELECTRICITY EXPERIMENTS

EXperimenters in the stimulation of
plant growth by electricity have dis
covered queer thing. The wind blows
their current away, but wire screen

QUESTION OF BACTERIA

The question of sweet and sour milk
of clean and dirty milk, is purely a
question of bacteria. There will be a
certain amount of bacteria in all milk,
but the kind that makes it sour or un-
ft for use is the kind that comes i'll
from the outside.

UPSET cows SYSTEM

When COW is supplied very irreg-
ularly with feed either in quantity or
time of feeding it naturally upsets her
system and causes a serious falling off
in the flow.

MARY TUDOR DIES

! Miss Mary Tudor. the sixteen
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Shelby Tudor, died at her home on
the Paint Lick pike last Saturday
morning. Her death was caused by
bronchial pneumonia with which
she had been i'll but a very short
time.
The funeral service was held at
the Tudor home Monday morning
after which the body was removed
10 the Richmond cemetery for bur-
ial. DR.. Conman Of Paint Lick was
the physician in charge during her
period OF illness.
Miss Tudor was student in the
Foundation Department last year and
the news OF her death will come
as shock 20 her old classmates
and school friends. She was a stu
dent in the Eastern Kentucky State
Normal School at Richmond until
the time Of her illness.
Nllt was tlIt Oiiiy biiiu VI WI. oAt
Mrs. Tudor and her death came as
very severe blow to them. We
can but extend our deepest sympathy
in this their hour Of great bereave-
ment. The hand OF death is impair
tial and we know not when the sum-
mons may come TO join that in
Vulnerable host" Oft times il comes
in the unsuspecting moment, at
the time when we are least expect
ing, and steals into the happy home
so full OF joy and quiet contentment
and leaves naught but sadness and
sorrow.
Mary possessed a sweet lovable
nature which could not help but win
her friends. These friends are now
experiencing that feeling Of vacant
ness which can only come when
something irreplacable has been TAX
EN- from our lives. But HE that
counts the grains of sand and holds
the water in his hands" knoweth
best and il is but for us to acquiesce
TO His great will and bear our sor-
row with brave, hopeful hearts.

Twenty-third Judicial district
composed of the counties of Breath
lit, Lee, Estill and Wolfe, presided
over by Judge Riddle, of Irvine, Es-
till county.
Circuit Court convened here Mon.
day with big docket. The town
was full of people and at II o'clock
the court adjourned TO permit the
candidates to present their claims
Hon. Sam Hurst, of this city, led off,
announcing his candidacy for Cir
cult Judge, subject to the action of
the Republican party at the Au-
gust primary. He was introduced
by Judge G. w. Gourley, who had
also been spoken Of as a probable
candidate for the same office. After
Col. Hurst, w. N. Cope, Of Jack
son, announced for the Democratic
nomination for Commonwealth At
torney, basing his chief claim on his
klnship TO half the Democrats of
Breathitt. He was followed by
Hon. James Mott Mcdaniel of this
city, for the same Office on the same
ticket, his chief claim being his
friendship for children and the
home.
Judge Riddle is a candidate for
reelection on the Democratic ticket
at the August primary. Opposing
him is Judge C. E. Hyden of Breath
lit, for the Democratic nomination.
Both these men have a strong fol-
lowing in their party.
So far Col. Hurst will have as his
for the Republican nOmi-
nation, Judge James P. Adams, the
only Republican who ever held the
Office of Circuit Judge in this dis
trict. He has been elected once,
appointed once and defeated twice.
Owing TO the financial depression
in this section under Democratic
rule, the Republican nominee ought
to, and likely will be elected at the
November election.-The Leader.

IA Then followed the usual five min
utes rest between halves. in which
interval the rooters of each depart
ment WED with each other with
