have made from 40 to 57 miles on a gallon 
of gasoline. It removes all carbon and 
prevents spark plug trouble and over¬ 
heating. It can be installed by anyone in 
five minutes. Mr. Stransky wants agents

Destroying Wild Carrot 
C. H. Chesley 
r FHE wild carrot is one of the most 
* serious weed pests over a consider¬ 
able area of the country. It is particularly 
serious in old fields and permanent 
pastures, nevertheless it is not particu¬ 
larly difficult to get rid of if proper 
measures are used. There is a wide¬ 
spread opinion that the plant is poisonous, 
doubtless due to the similarity of the 
plant when in bloom to the notorious 
Water Hemlock. However, it has been 
proven beyond question that wild carrot 
is not poisonous either to man or beast. 
At any rate, it is nothing more or less 
than the common domesticated carrot 
run wild. Left to itself the plant soon 
reverts to the original type. It is essen¬ 
tially a poor land plant and is never found 
in any quantity with clover, alfalfa or a 
heavy stand of timothy. In cultivated 
fields, where a rotation is practiced, it 
seldom gives much trouble, but in per¬ 
manent meadows and pastures the story 
is different. 
I have found that it can be crowded out 
by top dressing, which induces a strong 
growth of the beneficial grasses. Sheep 
will eat t'he plant when it is young and 
before blossoming. Cattle will leave it 
untouched. In this connection, it should 
be mentioned that the belief is rather 
common that it is poisonous to sheep. 
Sheepmen tell me, however, that such 
is not the case. Sheep eat it readily in 
the younger stage but will not touch it 
when the stems become hard and woody. 1 
In fields that are mowed it is usually 
cut off before the blossoms form, then 
shoots come out and new heads appear, 1 
so there is a fall crop of seeds. These 
are blown about by the wind during the 
winter and the plants spread rapidly. 
A second mowing, with the cutter-bar 
of the machine set low, will destroy the 
chance of forming seed. The plant is 
biennial, so the process has to be repeated 
the following year, even though no seeds 
are allowed to form. The seeds, also, 
remain in the ground for several years, 
so it is not possible to entirely eradicate 
the plant in one or two years. The seeds 
of the carrot are of a kind that stick to 
sheep, also to birds, so the plant spreads 
rapidly. First, it usually appears along 
the roadsides and from there it soon 
overruns the fields and pastures. If a 
few plants appear in fields and cultivated 
grounds, they may be pulled out without 
much difficulty but once they have be¬ 
come plentiful, other measures have to be 
adopted. Taken in time, it can be de¬ 
stroyed, but allowed to run on unchecked, 
the story is a different one. 
How to Control Devil’s- 
Paintbrush , 
Will you kindly tell me which is the best way to con¬ 
trol Devil’s-Paintbrush.—G. D. E., New York 
T A E YIL ’ S-P AINTBRUSII, or Orange 
Hawk weed, is a perennial and is 
one of the worst offenders in our eastern 
weed family. It can be effectively com¬ 
batted by the use of salt, more so than 
hv any other chemicals. Salt is applied 
when it is very dry and in a fine state, 
being broadcast on a bright hot summer 
day so that it covers all of the plants 
uniformly. It kills chiefly by drawing 
water from the leaves. According to 
Bailey, one to four quarts of salt can be 
used per square rod with little or no 
permanent injury to the grass, that is on 
a strong soil in our northeastern States. 
Local conditions are so variable that it is 
not advisable for you to treat a large 
area at the very beginning. 
Perennials are destroyed by preventing 
the weeds from going to seed and destroy¬ 
ing top growth which will finally destroy 
die underground parts. In the case of 
lawkweed, clean cultivation or summer 
ollowing will destroy the hawkweed, later 
'ollowed by the cultivation of a close 
growing crop such as buckwheat. 
The use of lime, acid phosphate and 
manure will enrich the soil and stimulate 
the growth of desirable plants later on 
and thereby give the Paintbrush little 
opportunity to become established.
