The Ontario Department of Agriâ€" culture recommend the following soâ€" lutions: 1. Bordeaux Mixtureâ€"Copper sul- phate, 4 pounds; lime, fresh, 4 pounds; water. 40 gallons. . Suspend the copper sulphate in five - gallons of water. This may be done by putting it in a bag of coarse'maâ€" terial. and hanging it so as to be cov- ered by the water. Slake the lime in about the same quantity of water. Then mix the two'and add the re- mainder of the 40 gallons of water. \V‘arm water will dissolve the copper sulphate more readily than cold water. If the lime is at all dirty strain the lime solution. If the lime is good the above amount is likely to be sufficient.- It is an easy matter to know how much lime is required by using what is termed the ferrocynnide of potassium test. This substance can be got at any druggist's, and very little is re« quired. Take a small bottle, 2 01., and get it filled with a saturated solution of this compound. If there is not plenty of lime in your mixture, 8. drop of this test added to it, turns brown. Add more lime and stir. As soon as the test fails to color in coming in contact with your mixture, it indiâ€"~ cates there is sufficient lime present to neutralize the effects of the copper. sulphate. Use wooden vessels in pre- paring the Bordeaux mixture. 2. Ammoniucal Copper Carbonate Solution. “Cupram.”â€"Copper carbonâ€" ate, 1 ounce; strong ammonia sufficiâ€" ent to dissolve the capper carbonate; water, 10 gallons. _ This solution is not much used, and 15 recommended only in cases where the fruit is so far advanced that it would be disfigured by using the Bor- dea ux mixture. 3. Paris Green Mixture.â€"Paris green. 1 pound; Water, 200 to 300 gallons; milk of lime, 4 gallons. Use 200 gallons water in a. mixture for apple trees,\250 for plum trees, and {‘20) for peach trees. When Paris green. 1s added to Bordeaux mixture. so as to form a combined insecticide and fun- gicide, add four ounces to every 40 gallons of the Bordeaux mixture. 4. Hellebore.â€"\Vhile hellebore. fresh, 1 ounce; water. 3 gallons. 5. Pyrethrum.â€"â€" Pyrethrum powder. fresh. 1 ounce; water. 4 gallons. 6. Kerosene Emulsionâ€"Hard soap, lâ€"2 pound, or soft soup, 1 quart; boil- ing water, soft, 1 gallon; coal oil, 2- gallons. After dissolving the soap in the water, add the coal oil and stir well for 5 to 10 minutes.‘ \Vhen properly. mixed, it will adhere to‘ glass without orliness. A syringe or pump will aid! much in this work. In using, dilute With from 9 to 15 parts of water. Kero- sene emulsion may be prepared with sour (milk. 1 gallon, and coal oil, 2 galâ€" ions, no soap being required. This Will not keep long. NOTES. 1 .l. ’thn there is danger of dis- figuring fruit with the Bordeaux mixture use the ammoniacal copper carbonate solution. 2. Experience in spraying during the past three years indicates that it is best to use ihccombined insecticide and fungicide, commencing as soon as the buds begin to swell, again when the- leaves appear. and conlinue it at in- tervals of 10 to 15 days, until the trees have been sprayed 3 to 5 times, which will depend upon the weather. in the case of a rainy season, it may be necessary to spray at least five times, while if dr', and the mixtures have been allowed to remain on the foliage, then three or four times may be suf- ficient. . . In no case spray while the trees are in bloom. but immediately after. It» is contrary to law, and punishable by a fine- of from $1.00 to $5.01). 3. The combined inscclicide and fun- gicide, containing Paris green” and Bordeaux mixture. is to be used for insects that chew, and injurious fungi but keroqtnc emulsion alone forlhose insects that suck the juices of. pld‘nls such as aphis. lhrip, red spider, clover , bark louse.

To make the mixture, tuke‘ four gallons of the copper sulphate so- , lotion and two of the lime. If there: is any doubt about there not being suf- ! ficient lime try the test already referr- § ed to under Bordbaux mixture. Now fill - tip! the amount to 40 gallons withl wa- e er. . 5. Prepare the mixture well, applyl them at the proper time, and be as thorough as possible in the work. Three fourths of the so-called spraying done . is not spraying at all. The trees are; only drenched. When spraying is pro-_§ perly done, the mixture is broken up' like a mist and settles on every part of the plant. A great deal more of the” mixture will remain on the plant when ; applied in this way. and there is alsol a saving of material. as every drop which falls to the ground is lost. 6. No mixture should be left in the pump or barrel, and. after. using, clean water should-be pumped so as to clean the outfit. This is important. as some of the mixtures act chemically on the metal of the pump. 7. Use a Y and two nozzles. or a trip- le bead and three nozzles. The work can be done just as well and much more expeditiously. - 8. To keép Bordeaux mixture off horses and harness use coarse linen or other cover. 9. As most of the'spraying mixtures “1‘8 Poisonous. care should be taken in working with them. They should not be used when there in any wound or abrasion of the skin exposed. and care Should be taken not to allow the spray to settle on the hands or face, or to be inhaled. ‘Arsenites taken into the sys- tem by absorption or inhalation pro- duce symptoms of poisoning. In mild cases they resemble the symptoms l’m‘. duced by poisoning;. in severe cases. hmdaches. nausea, eruptions. boils and alters are said to result. The danger from arsenites, which are soluble in water, such as London purple. are. much greater than from Paris green. Which contains very little water solu- ble arsenic. There is more danger of poisoning by absorption when perspir- lng freely. However. by taking proper precaution. there need be little fear. A leather washer about four inches in diameter should 'be fitted just below the nozzle which will prevent the drip from reaching the hands. As far as possible keep to windward of the nozâ€" zle. \Vhen much work is to be done, rubber gloves should be worn. The face and exposed parts should be wash- ed immediately after spraying. 10. The cost of spraying with Bor- deaux‘mixture is not very great. Cop- per sulphate of the best quality, which is the only kind which should be used. can be had at from 4 1~;’.c. to Sc. per ll). by the barrel. and Paris green at from. 15c. t'o 20c. per lb. The cost for material to properly spray an average apple. tree for the entire season should not exceed from 4c. to Sc. . TREATMENT. 1. Appleâ€"Treatment for destroying. codling moth, bud moth, tent cater- pillar. canker worm. apple spot, leaf blight, pistol case bearer and unwdery midlew. First spraying: r Bordeaux mixture and Paris green (4 oz. to the barrel of the mixture) when the buds are swelling, Second spraying: Bordeaux mixture and Paris green before the blessoms open. Third spraying: Bor- deaux mixture and Paris green when the blossoms have fallen. Fourth and fifth sprayings: Bordeaux mixture and Paris green at intervals of ten to fif- teen days, if necessary. No definite date can be- named after which it would be! safe to cease spray- ing for apple scab. The orchard should be watched .after the third and fourth application, and the treatment again applied if scab appears. on the fruit or leaves. Many apple growers who sprayed in 1897 until the'end of June, and ac- glected to watch their orchards after- wards, lost heavily. The scab appear- ed very late in the season last year, and all the experimental orchards were given an extra application: in. the ear- ly part of July, which largely accounts for the splendid results obtained. 2.

W'OMAN, OLD AND BRAVE \Vhile the world is discussing the New Woman ‘in all her apparent phas- esâ€"langhing at her. condemning her. applauding her, denying .‘nr - “10 Old Woman is going quietly her ways, performing all her usual duties. on- couragiug her usual hopes. and culti- vating her usual affections. She is still loving her husband, her hearth. her house; she is still peopliug the world and bringing forward the next generationun teaching her children. ad- vising them, directing them, amusing them, and caring for them in the old necessary ways: she is still looking out for the aged. and nursing the sick and dying. and giving up her subslunx‘r 10 the poor; she is still going to church with her brood on a Sunday. going to concerts and lectures when she can, making her serial calls upon the neighâ€" bors, giving her teas and her small and gmat companies, attending the weekly or monthly gatherings of friends and acquaintances that used to be called a sewing-circle evcn when no sewing was done there; doing her. bargaining, her shopping and her dress-making; keeping 'up her holi- days, her birthdays, her Thanksgiv- ings and Christmases, and conducting life in general as it always has been conducted, with no other difference than its, subjection to what are styled the modern improvements. For still the houses are well kept. the hearths are bright, the children are in evidence, and clean and healthy and happy and instructed; the old people are making no new complaint. the sick have tender care; the "poor know the way they have trodden to the door. as it has also been trodden from that door to theirs; still the concerts and lectures find it worth while to be given; still the old churchdwcll rings and the old faces are seen in the old pews; still social life goes on as al- ways; still friends meet. in pleasant afternoon association; still the shops dispose of the tempting wares their windows display; still there is every appearance of life’s going on as it has done immemoriaily, and that the role our mothers played is being played as faithfully by those that have replaced them. It would seem, on inspection, as if the Old “'oman were found to be as sweet as ever. were marrying in the same proportion. were finding little children’s arms aiboui. her neck as dcur as they have been since the creation of the world. and, in fact. lhat if she has changed at all, if she has advanced at all, it is only as her comrade man has changed and advanced w ill] her. \Vhere. then, is the new woman of. whom we hear so much? She is lectur- ing? But the Old “'01an Spoke in meeting, gave her experience. exhortâ€" ed, and prayed aloud. She is teach- ing? The Old \‘i’omun always taught be it in dame-School or elsewhere. She goes to the club? The club is only another name for the 01d Woman's sewing-circle, enlarged and made pos- sibly more intellectual. She studies professions? Deborah was a judge in Israel. She writes poems, stories, essays? But Miriam sang songs, and Anna was a prophetess; and Sappho, though so old, is of immortal youth among us; and for two hundred years the Old Woman has wril ten stories and made books when the spirit moved her. She keeps shop? Then. although she might be commended for Setting free from measuring tape musclcs stronger than‘ hers for filling and reducing the earth and the kindred occupations reâ€" quiring physical force. she is really doing only what the Old Woman has done since the days of the pyramids.
