Lawn Pests.
Prompt action and thorough, lntolll
ent treatment Is necessary to kill
lawn pesta and rid your sod of those
(undesirable occupants.
The dandelion Is the most notorious
of our lawn pests. The first fow days
of warm growing weather will bring
out Its glowing blossoms and no hard
winter seems to diminish Its optimism
(or energy. Thero will bo moro of
Ithom than last year. There always
ore. Tho rlchor the soil and the finer
tho plaoe, tho moro dandelions thero
(will be.
Unlike other weeds, which can bo
1 crowded out by heavily feeding tho
ernes, the dandollon responds to such
treatment oven more nobly than does
the grass. It Is directly comparable
(to soma of our public servants, whoso
extraordinary abilities could bo pro
ductive of bo much good If applied In
(the proper direction.
True, tho dandelion Bervos the pur
pose calling many householders out
tof doors Into tho healing spring sun
ohlne, who would otherwise stay in
jdoors. Its first blossoms bring real
Soy to tho small boy and salad to tho
railroad section hand, but tho man
with tho lawn mower loves It not
'Away with It. Wo can banish It If wo
jwin.
Tho best method of eradicating dan
delions from sod Is to keep tho grass
Tut closiAy during the dandelion Bea
ton, re?o it and burn it, and spray

rwlth a dotation of copperas, or sul
Sphato of iron, as it Is more properly
called. This costs about three cents
pound and can be secured from
(druggists or seed stores. Dissolve
Ithree-anarters of a pound in a gallon
or water'ond' spray the"" dandelion

age will bo dono to tho grass, asido
from blackening tho tips.
Digging dandelions out is practical
ly Impossible, but this spraying
scheme is very effective.
Plantains and other weeds must bo
pulled and burned before they bios
com. Ants are best destroyed by pouring
a little carbon blsulphldo in each holo
and covering It with earth so that tho
fumes cannot escape.
Tho best way to kill moles is with
special mole traps.
Anglo worms are beneficial to &
lawn unless present in great numbers.
Carbon bisulphide will kill them, too.
Cut worms are destroyed by soaking
the Infected area with a solution of
arsenate of lead, ono pound to a bar

cated by patches of dead grass. Tho
little white worms will bo found
among tho grass roots.
Legumes Add Nitrogen.
At the Rhodo Island station a fivo
ycar pot experiment with different
legumes was conducted to ascertain
tho amount of nitrogen secured from
tho air during tho growth of tho
legumes in a light, gravelly soil,
without the addition of nitrogenous
manure, but with optimum amounts of
other manures. It was found that
tho approximate gain during flvo
years with cowpeas and soy beans
and with vetch, which was grown al
ternately with each, was a ton of nit
rogen per acre, about seven-tenths of
which was contained in tho 25 'tons
of moisture-freo summer crops re
moved, and tho remainder in tho soil
Itself. Tho following facts should be
taken Into consideration: Tho soil in
the pots was 10 Inches deep, some
what deeper than tho surface soli In
many localities; the winter vetch was

and explorer. Mr. Balch gives credit
to Peary for really having reached
the top of the earth in the book en
titled "The North Pole and Bradley
Land," of which Mr. Balch I3 the
author.
In fact Mr. Balch uses Peary's un
published observations to support
those of Cook, stating positively that
this method of comparative testi
mony is the only fair criterion of the
value of the claims of the two ex
plorers, either of whom, ho says,
might easily mako erroneous claims,

seen and recorded.
Mr. Balch does not hesitate to de
clare that Dr. Cook has been badly
used and that ho has not been no
corded anything Hko the credit which
ho really deserves. Ho quotes Cap
tain Amundsen as being astonished
when he learned that Dr. Cook had
been held up to ridicule.
Mr. Balch attaches much import
ance to tho belief that Cook and
Peary arrived almost simultaneously
because of tho duplication of de
scriptions of lco conditions furnished
by both.
"Tho vital and decisive historical
fact,'' writes Mr. Balch, "connected
with the records relating to the dis
covery of the polo is that Cook's an
nouncement in his cablegram pub
lished September 2, 1909, that at the
North pole thero Is an endless field
of purple snow, no life, no land, Is
tho first statement ever made by any
ono claiming to bo an eye witness of
conditions there. There can be no
contradiction that Cook was the first
to record his claim. Cook wrote all
of this and it was published almost
simultaneously with Peary's return."
BILLS OF INTEREST
TO THE HUNTERS.
Harrisburg, April There are
now In the hands of the governor,
threo bills of vital interest to the
hunters 6f Pennsylvania and if they
receive executive sanction, this legis
lature will not soon be forgotten by
the devotees of the dog and gun. As
the measures are by tho game de
partment thero Is but slight danger
of the governor refusing to sign
them.
The most important bill affecting
the State hunters is the Davis bill,
calling for the licensing of every
hunter, tho fee to be ?1. This meas
ure was fought vigorously by mem
bers from the agricultural section,
who claimed that It contained a
clause permitting outside people to
go into a section and lease an entire
woodsldo or mountainside for a pres
ervation. Men interested in the propagation
of game gave the bill hearty support,
it being estimated that the revenue
obtained through this ono dollar
license will bo the means of laying
a foundation for prolific game for
many years to come.
The other hunters' bills awaiting
action by tho governor were intro
duced early in the session by Repre
sentative Price of Monroe county.
One of these makes a change in the
season for deer by opening it on Nov.
15, instead of November 10, and
closing it on Dec. 1 instead of Nov.
25. Price says that this change is
greatly desired by deer hunters, who
claim that the nearer tho season is
brought to midwinter, tho better
chance they will have in tracing tho
animal. The bills extend the sea
son one day.
Representative Price's other bill
fixes October 15 to (November 30 as
the open season for the gray, the
black and fox squirrel, tho wild tur
key, the ruffled grouse, the Hungar
ian partridge, the woodcock and the
English or Chinese ringneck pheas
ant; and November to December
31 is made the open season for the
gray rabbit and hare.

PLAN MEMORIAL JO MOLLY
PITCHER, FAMOUS HEROINE
Patriotio Citizens Suggest a Monument
at Her Grave in Carlisle, Pa.
Patriotic citizens and organizations
are taking great interest in tho pro
posal that a monument in honor of
Molly Pitcher, heroine of the battle of
Monmouth during the Revolutionary
war, be erected at Carlisle, Pa., where
her body Is burled. t
Advocates of tho memorial plan got
the Pennsylvania legislature interested
in tho subject and expect definite re
sults soon.
It is planned to honor this American
woman, who bravely took her hus
band'spost nt a cannon in ono of tho
fiercest battles of tho Revolution after
he had fallen.
Tho proposed memorial has been de
signed as a pedestal surmounted by a
figure of the illustrious Molly, whoso
married name was McKolly or Mc
Cauley. Particular care has been taken
by tho sculptor to mako the likeness as
perfect as possible.
Flvo women descendants of Molly,
now living in Carlisle, were used as
models for tho statue. Excellent de
scriptions by people who knew the
woman were available and were used
In molding the figure.
On tho proposed monument, for
which tho state of Pennsylvania will
be a3ked to spend $15,000, are two
bronze tablets, one of which will show
Molly with her traditional pitcher lend
ing succor in the midst of battle and
tho other will show her at the cannon's
mouth. In front of the monument an
exact reproduction of tho cannon she
served will l)p constructed.
