A Combined Fungicide and Insecti- cide--Get the Right Arsenate of. Lead -- Stomach Worm Loss Preventable. i (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The time is again at hand for lay- ing plans for the summer care of the orchard and garden and nothing that can be done will be found to give better paying returns than the careful control of insect and fungus attacks. It has been computed by reliable authorities that an annual toll of 10 per cent. is taken by the inroads of these enemies of the farm- er on his various crops and that this loss increases many fold where pro- per precautions are not taken. In extreme cases complete destruction of some crop has sometimes been known to occur through failure to give care, or through negleet of the right steps at the right time. In this connection it will be found that there is nothing that can be done that will give more satisfactory returns on the investment than a small outlay in money and time on spraying and 'dusting. But it must be done intelligently or time and money will be squandered; and the leading essential here 'is the choice of the proper remedy and the correct compounding and applying of it. One of the most outstanding and effective remedies in use to-day is the lime-sulphur solution mized with an arsenical. This combination gives a eombined insecticide and fungicide effect, a team play which is very fr-e- quently required during the growing season, insects and fungi often giv. ing trouble at the same time on the mame plant. The advantage of mix- ing the two and applying them together is obvious -- the eost of application is exactly one-half what it would be had they to be separately applied. : t But care in making this\ combined spray must be exercised. Some arsenicals-cannot be mixed with lime- sulphur. Paris green, long the most popular bug exterminator, and still extensively used where quick results are desired, will destroy fully 35 per cent. of the efficiency of the lime- sulphur .wash if mixed with it, and, what is far worse, this mixture will hadly damage leaves and other tenm- der parts of plants. It follows, there- fore, that Paris green, though a powerful poison insecticide, camnot be used along with lime-sulphur wash as a combined spray. On the other hand arsenate of lead has given de- cided satisfaction in this respect and it is quite probable that the newer arsenical, calcium arsenate, is also suitable to combine with lime- But the chief purpose of this arti- cle is to draw attention to the hitherto little recognized fact in connection with the use of arsenate of lead along with lime'sulphur that there are two kinds of arsenate of lead, chemically, one of which is more fitted for combining with lime- sulphur than is the other. Acid ar- senate of lead destroys nearly 30 per cent. of the efficiency of the lime- sulphur, whereas neutral arsenate of lead; the other kind, only destroys 9 per cent. In other respects, these two forms of the lead arsenate are equally useful to combine with lime- sulphur solution to get a dual pur- bose spray. If; however, when using the acid arsenate of lead, 314 pounds of finely sifted, and fresh hydrated lime be mixed into the lime-sulphur solution along with every 1 pound of the arsenate used (which is us- ually 1 pound to every 40 gallons of the lime-sulphur solution) the de- struction of the efficiency of the lime- sulphur is reduced to. 8 per cent. (practically the same as the nen- tral). If this practice be followed when the acid variety of the arsenate is being used it does not matter | which of the two forms of this ar- senical is used in making lime-| Found astray on Lot 23, Con. 7 Zea- land, on Monday 25th July last, Light Chestnut Maare, 181% hands, blaze, hog mane, was badly cut on near fore arm.

In Canada it is to be regretted that we have developed the tendency among our young men to desert teh farm for the city. If this Canadian failing cannot be elimated, the next best thing we can do is to offer a share in our rural life to a class that has become surfeited with the city and has a strong hankering to get into the practical business. An M.A. of ambridge has recently taken over a country hotel on one of the principal motor roads and believes that the degree of master of arts will net hamper him in mastering the art of catering to the travelling public, while he would have opportunity to run his own garden and orchard, and would be in the open. i Awhole flood of young men have 'sought the engineering profession, so! country, . as to get to a job that requires rather] A few thousand of this class of shirt sleeves than stiff collars, andj young fellow would be a valuable ad- others are making' goood in farming} dition to the British element in Can- and raising fruit and poultry Theseg ada, which should be the backbone of are boys of the class that used to fliff the Dominion.

The lambs suffer the mast. "The bect preventive and the one most easily given," says Philip A. Anderson of the division, "is copper - sulphate or blue stone, as it is often known. Make a 1 per cent. solution by dissolving one-quarter of a pound of the blue stone in a pint of boiling water, adding cold water to make three gallons, being sure that a clear solution is obtained and always ug- ing an earthenware or a wooden régeptacle. The dose for lambs, ac- cording to size, is three-quarters of an ounce to one and one-half ounces; for older sheep, .two and one ounces to three ounces.
