From ex[)erinients ollicially <<inducled al Ciuelph. at Oltawo, nnd at jiraclieally every expeiiinent shilion In the United Stales, and from the praclieal experi- ence of gi'<)\ers everywhere, Itordeatix Mixture lus proven Iho only efleclive p'tnedy for f'<)tal<j Hut. At (tilawa dur- ing the jiasl IhriM' years, the avciage in- rrensi' in yield from spraying with tliis mixture was !H.5 bushels iH'r acre. I!<jril(aux Mixture t<ir polalo spraying is mudo fr<iiii the following formula ;â€" r<;p|>fr suljdiale (hluesloiie or tilue vitriol) G I ounds. unsluked lime 5 p(,unds, water 'lO to :>l) gallons. As il is iii':<inveiiient to weigh the lime and cojiiier at lli(> time of mixing mid quite inijiijieliciihle t<i keep a sup- ply of ready-mixed Ikirdeaux <in hand, stock .yilulioiis of the copper and lime are usually prepared ready for mixing an reipiired. To prepare material sulli- cierit to treat one acre of polaloes four times, proceed us follovv.s : IMacc 72 fx iinds of bliieslone in n liag or liasket and susj-end 11 near the .surface in HG gallons of water In a barrel. II will dis- solve in a few hours, nnd every gallon ndeiAvards dipi)e('. from this barrel will conluin exactly 2 r><iiiii<Js of blue.stone. I'or the lime aUick niixlure lake (V) liounds of fresh unslaked lime nnd 3(t galloiH of water. Slake llie ilnie by the use of as little of the water us (lossible, and when all is broken down, bring the s<duliwn to standard strengUi by adding what rcinnins of the 30 gallons of water. Kveiy gallon of lime mixture now con- laiiLS exaclly 2 jkhiikU <jt lime. TUobc mixtures. If kept under cover nnd evu- IK.ralion iireveiited, will retain their sltcngth all summer. In making the Hordeaiix It is imiKir- lant lo rememt.er that these slioiig "stock" mixtures must never be brought liigelher. Pour 3 gallons of the blue- .stone .solulioii iiit<i a ih-gallon barrel (an ordinary barrel holds between 40 and .'>o gallons), half lill ttie Imrrel with water, ad i 2% gallons of the lime Milulion, hll up with water, stir thoroughly nnd the mixlure Ls ready t<ir use. For applying, a spray pump will bo fiund e"onomical of Inlior and mater- ials, and the guiii in i;r<iducl fr'Hn one year's spraymg of one acre of potatoes will usuully pny the entire cost of such n.i npiiliance, but if none is at hand. U<,raeaux may be applied after the sanK' manner as Paris Green would be applied in .soluUon for bugs. The objeel Us lo keep the crop covered with Ihe inixlure during tlie sen.s<in in which blight is habUi to occur, and whilf; modern sjiray- in>; machinery does this a little beller ttian nnylhing else, there are scores of farmers in Ontario who are oblnimng quite .satisfactory results from applying the IJordeaux by whatever meuas urc al their disposal. In preiaring the mix- lure where any kind of power sprayers are t(j be used, alway.s strain Itie lim>' .sf.lulion when mixing with the blue- stone. Tlie lime sotnetimes sliikes himpv nnd clogs m the no//les. If re- quired Paris (Ircen may be applied with lb- Bordeaux, adding half a ixmnd of Paris Green lo each barrel of the niix- li;rc. .Spraying stiould begin aboul July l^lli and llie vines kepi covered till Seplem- ber. I'oiir appli-nlions as required, will usually acomplish this, .'^^ome have got fairly satisfnctory results from one g<K)d SI raying just al llie lime Ihc disease be- gins to sprejid, nnd as we gam in .spray- ing experience, the numb<r of applica- tion may perhaps be decreased, but ordinarily. It Is best to use the mixture al least four limes. ISoideiiiix is Ihe (miy efferllvo remedy yet devised for the coiilr<d of (i^iIhIo "blight. It is easy t<i make and easy lo apply, nnd where jiroperly made and Ih-roiighly applied is cerlain to be eltec- live. The only precautions to tiKserve in making are to use pure fresh iiialerlaK anil mix these in correct pro|Kirtinns nnd in the proper way. and in applying lo kinp the inixlure on the vines during tin. sea.son Hull blight Is likely to np- .pear.

A despatch from Otlawa s.nys: Pe- perls to the Labor Dep.irliiiejil show IKat Ihe number of trade disputes dur- ing .Moy was 49, an increa.se of twelve over the corresponding month of 1900. The lo.ss in working days was appiMxi- mnlcly 88,325 as compared wilti 45,075 i.i May of last year. The Increase is largely due to the strike of coal miners in ttie west, and of longshoremen n Montreal. There were about 411 firms and 11,097 employees affected by the various disputes. There was a marked upward tendency m wages in nearly all lines of industry during the month. Tho number of new ngrcemcrits with respect to wages re-: ported to ll:c d<!parlmenl was consider- iibly in excess of lliat during Ihe cor-i iosp:;nling period in any previous year; since 1903. Nearly all the new a^>ree- iiicnts were on Iho basis of higher wage schedules. In the majority of cases the increases were obtained ns a resull ft amicalde negotiations and without liieii-ijir between • employers nnd em- ployees.

Taking inUi eon.sideration the fad that only the heads lof families and young irien over 21 years of age of for- eign birlh need to take tho oath of al- legiance, Ihe total of 10,242 for In.st year probably 'epo*****^ a l^e^-^ *-»- migration of thirty to forly thousand.
