-^-forty to fifty gallons — answers tne purpose 

 admirably and without the slightest fear of 

 injury to the grass. Undiluted it is a very 

 active poison and requires careful handling. 

 "The most economical way of applying 

 it to the greens is to erect a scaffolding five 

 or six feet high at the highest point alongside 

 the green — or an empty wagon will do — and 

 place thereon a couple of empty kerosene 

 barrels, with a hole bored in the bottom, into 

 which run a piece of three-quarter inch hose, 

 sufficient in length to cover the entire green. 

 Connect the hose with an ordinary sprinkling 

 can and sprinkle freely. That's all. It is 

 better to have a couple of barrels so that one 

 can be filling while the other is in use. When 

 filled pour in the mixture and stir. The 

 barrel being elevated the water will flow by 

 gravitation with sufficient force to keep the 

 sprinkler going until the contents of the bar- 

 rel are exhausted. There is just enough 

 poison in the mixture to put an absolute 

 quietus on every worm that's touched. After 

 they come to the surface they never go back 

 again, and can easily be brushed up at the 

 end of the operation. The grass is not in- 

 juriously effected in the slightest degree.
