Fertilizer Inspection; bulletin No. 94, 
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Orono, Me. This bulletin contains the 
analysis of samples collected by the sta- 
tion of the brands of fertilizers licensed 
in 1903, and of a sample of “Scientif 
Fertilizer” ; a copy of the law regarding 
the use of the Babcock test in the state, 
and the results of an experiment on the 
top dressing of grass lands with chem- 
icals. 
Dandelions, Hawkweeds, Ginseng, 
Canker Worms; bulletin 95, Maine Ag- 
ricultural Experiment Station, Orono, 
Me. : Every year there are numerous 
complaints of the ravages of canker 
worms, upon shade and orchard trees. 
Two distinct insects are concerned in 
this work of destruction, but their hab- 
its and general appearance are much 
alike. Specific directions are given for 
fighting these pests. One of the surest 
preventive measures is to place a band 
of tarred paper about the tree in March 
and smear it with printer's ink. 
It is shown in the bulletin that the 
common dandelion grows readily from 
root cuttings, and that when the top of 
the plant is cut off each of the pieces of 
root remaining in the ground will form 
a new plant. For this reason it is a very 
bad practice to allow the digging of 
"greens” on the lawn. A photograph 
showing the results of the persistent dig- 
ging of greens is an instructive feature, 
The cultivation of the dandelion as a 
garden plant is also briefly treated.

Union Curbing Device is now in use: Akron, Ohio; Chicago, 111.; Boston, Mass.; Galveston, 
Tex.; Rochester, N. Y.; Battle Creek, Mich.; Coldwater, Mich.; Sidney, O.; Troy, N. Y.; 
Camden, N. J.; Brunswick, Me.; Kingston, Ont.; Saugerties, N. Y. 
“I have used your 
Curbing Device in my 
work for the last three 
months. I believe the 
Device has more than 
paid for its cost in 
time saved, to say 
nothing of the trouble 
and anxiety it has re- 
lieved us of.

“Enclosed find draft 
to balance account. 
We used the device the 
first time yesterday, 
and are more than 
pleased with it. If it 
cost twice what it does 
we should buy it.
