To Destroy Weeds in Walks

The following method to destroy weeds is pursued at the mint in Paris with good effect: 10 gals. of water; 20 lbs. of' quicklime, and 2 lbs. of flowers of sulphur, are to be boiled in an iron vessel; after settling, the clear part is poured off and used when needed. Care must be taken, for it will destroy weeds, and will just as certainly destroy edging and border flowers, if sprinkled on them.
