BAKER, mm smililhlllul Hard, Soft and Blacksmith Coal, always CH M ‘bl CATERPILLARS â€" PARIS TO BE READ ject deserves. standing the small details of its require- ments. also the chief cause of so much dissatisfac- tion with results. The general knowledge that trees are Sprayed to destroy insects and other pests is not sufficient. Spraying can only be successful, when the operator knows what he is spraying for, what to use and when to apply it. The essential points to be understood, therefore, are : To know when to spray for the destruction of any given pest; what to use; and how to use it to the best advantage. THE ENEMY Now, these pests are very numerous and they often require different remedies, or. when the same remedy is used it must be applied at a different time. For these and other reasons it is proposed in this paper to give instructions for practical work, and in order that the directions here given may be of the utmost service‘ means for the destruction of a few of the most formidable pests only, will be given. These are: The fungus, commonly known as the scab on most of our apples and pears, and that on the English goose- berries known as mildew, the larva of the codling moth in our apples and pears, the plum curculio, and the larva of the im- ported saw-fly, commonly known as the currant or gooseberry caterpillar which destroys the leaves of these shrubs. THE WEAPONS It is necessary that everything should be on hand before the time for spraying. Have you the outfit? Let us see; you vi ill require a large coal-oil barrelâ€"one of 50 gallons capacity preferred, two wooden tubs -â€"lard tubs will do very well, a couple of patent pails, one bag about 12 inches wide and nine inches deep made of cheesecloth and so formed that its opening may hang smoothly and closely to a cross-bar, a first-class Eugiish syringe. [Missy-5126. 10x4: inches with two roses and one Jet. (The finest rose Is the one most often used), a pint glass bottle wrth glass stopper and a mouth large enough to admit a teaspoon freely, a teaspoon, a few parcels of copper sulp are, each containing four pounds, and a few of two pounds each, a supply of paris green, a bottle of term cyanide of potassium (five or ten cents worth), freshly burned lime, ad. lib., scales for weighing lime, a large dipper, (graniteware preferred), and a couple of yards of very coarse linen completed the outfit. THE FIRST ATTACK The first and the most important spray- ing of the season, that for the preservation of apples, pears and English goose- berries from the effects of the fungi referred to, must be done when the leaf- buds on apple trees have swollen Very much, but before the calix has opened enough to expose the green leaf-bud. This will be about from the 15th to the 25th of april. When this time arrives the spray- ing must be done at once. Delay for a day or two may mean the post onement of that operation for a year. he spray mixture to be used at this time is made by dissolving two pounds of copper sulphate in fifty gallons of water. It is of the utmo.~t importance that the spraying be thoroughly done, which means that every sprig of last season’s growth must be covered with the mixture. SUBSEQUEN T SALLIES The second spraying of ap lo and pear trees and English goose rry bushes should be done just before the opening of the blossoms of the ear trees which will be about from the St to the 15th of May. This operation, like the first, is for the revention of the disastrous effects of ungi; but as the leaves which by this time may be retty well develo ed, would be destroyed y the copper sulp ate \Vz- sh used at the first spraying, Bordeaux mixture must now be used and the work should be as thoroughly done as upon the first occasion. The third spraying should be done as soon as the petals have fallen from the apple and pear trees which will be about from the 25th of May to the 10th of J une But at this time that pest the codling moth makes its appearance. Therefore, muris green is used at the rate of one small toaspoonful to each ail of the Bordeaux mixture (i lb. to eac 50 gallons of watter) for application to all app e and ar trees, but the Bordeaux mixture on y, will be mod on the English gooseberry bushes. Directions for the use of paris green for the destruction of the larva of the saw- fiy on English gomeberry bushes will be given subsequently when treating of gooseberry and currant bushes enerally. The fourth spraying shouldK be done. about ten days later and should be a re- petitiou of the last operation in every par- ticular. The fifth may take place about the middle of July and be a repetition of the latter, excepting that spra in the goosebcrry bushes with the or caux mixture may now be omitted. About. the middle of August a sixth application ought to be made. It should be here noted that if the“scab" has not deVeloped at the time for the fifth operation the Bordeaux mixture may be omitted, but spraying with paris green and water, (one small teaspoonful of paris green to each pail of water) should be continued at the times stated. ABOUT THE PLUMS The mixture used for spraying to prevent injury to the plum crop by the curculio, is paris green applied while in suspension in water. The mixture to be of the usual strength viz., 1 lb. of paris green to fifty gallons of water. The first spraying should be done as soon as the ossoms have matured, which will be about from the 10th. to the 25th of May, GREEN BORDEAUX MIXTUREâ€" A LETTER Spraying fruit treess for the destruction of insect pests and other enemies of the fr nit-grower is receiving much attention at present. but not from such a precen tage of our people as the importance of the sub- Little is generally known about the necessity of properly under- The lack of that knowledge is small pin along the line of the midrib, and perhaps a. few other of the larger v« ins thereof. If the underside: of such leavesbe now examined, the tiny cater- pillars perhaps not mo'e than one-six. teenth of an inch long will be seen feeding On the young and tender leaf. 'l‘hs rs time for immediate operations. Every currant and gOOSeberl'y bush must now be sprayed with paris green, of the strength as barfore stated for the destruction of the curculio. As one application of this pari‘. green mixture is sufficient for rhe whole season, if properly doneâ€" eviiry leaf wetâ€" ted~ and, as the poison is liable to be partially remOved. by rains, the efl'ec' will be much more ermanent if one cupfui of Wheaten flour e made into a very thin paste and added to each barrel of water. FIVE RE M A RKS First: -The dates mentioned for the various sprayings, are correct for this sc- tion but may not apply in other la 1! udes. Second :â€"Bordo aux mixture quicklx loses its power as a fungicide, therefore it should be used the same day it is mixed. Third :â€"If the spraying is faithfully done as above set fourth many other pests injurious to the fruits mentioned, and to other varieties as well as to rthcr trees will be held in check. Fourth :â€"The outfit mentioned in the p sragraph for first spraying on ripple new, etc. is intended for small orchards. For orchards of large size, cemmeycial or- chards, a spraying machine will be requir- ed instead of the coal-oil barrel and the syringe. All other items will be the same in variety, but the chemicals should be in larger quantities, but used in the same proportions. Fifth :â€"It will be observed that the time mentioned for most of the spraying operations, is determined by the deveIOp ment of the growth of the trees to be sprayed. or as for currant and gooseberry bushes generally,by the stage of develop- ment of the insect to be destroyed. The dates given are. oniv approximations. If the more important sprayings are given a day or two before or after the times mentioned, the operations will lose much of their desired effects, and in some cases will be pOsitively injurious. THos. REALL. Lindsay March 1st 1899. TWO IMPORTANT TANWBILLS. THE LIQUOR MEN AND COMPANIES HAVE TO PAY THE TIMBER DEFICI'A. Two important bills were presented to the Legislature on Wednesday of last week. They contained the new method of supplying revenue, made necessary by a falling off, since the law prohibiting the export of saw-logs, came into force. The deficiency will be raised by taxing CUlIrpaulrs, railways and wires. Street railways 15 miles long pay $20 per mile and the tax ls graded on longrr ones till those o‘er 56 miles long are taxed $60a mile. Banks pay one tenth of only per cent on Capital up to two million and $25 for every additional 3100.000 up to six million; shore that $15 extra for every $100,000. Head offices will pay $100 Pfld every branch offire $25. Insurance com- panies (not mutual) pay 1 per cent. on 1' c Ontario premiums; fire and accide t com- panies pay half that rate. Railways subsdvzed by the Ontario government are taxed $15 per mile. Express companies pay $3,000 per year. Others are taxed in prop nrtion to those mentioned. In all $208,000 will be raised in this way. THE LIQUOR M EX. A heavy addition has been made to the liqucr men‘s license. Wholesale men will pay as follows: In cities of more than 150.000 population 3200 extra; below that down to 40,000 $150 extra; in other cities :5} ‘0 extra. Tavern and shop licences are increased $150 in large cities and $100 in smaller ones. Railway saloons pay $150 extra. Towns and country places are not» affected. Brewers and distillers are taxed on the amount of capital invested. About 36 of the smaller brewers pay no increase. The large ones will pay from $150 to 81,000 extra. The two small, four moderate sized and two very large distillers will pay from $750 up to $4,000 extra. The increase from the liquor men will be about $105,000. making $313,000 increase from both «our- ces. The shrinkage in timber dues sinCe rhe new law is 3300.000. so that the new taxes more than meet the deficit. Toombn’ Middle Name. Few Georgians know that Toombs‘had two Christian names. History speaks of him as “Robert” Toombs. He was prouder than a Montague, haughtler than a Capu- .’let,'and in his last years the person who mentioned his middle name was in danger of decapitation. This dropped name was “Alston.” Toombs was a marvel on the hustlngs and in his thirtieth year arrived at the zenith of political debate still wearing his full nameâ€"Robert Alston Toombs. The initials, you will see, spell rat. One day a rival candidate for the state senate of the name of Charles A. Thornton replied to Toombs on the stump, and as he flayed the patriclan alive his followers and henchmen yelled: “That’s right. G0 at him again. Our Cat has got that Rat. That Rat can’t get away from our Cat. Sick him, Cat. Go it, Ra .” Thornton’s initials spelled cat. The incident so dis- pleased Toombs that he immediame drop- hls middle name and was known henceforth as plain “Bob.”â€"New York Press. Ofllclul Ladle. and Titles. Ofiicial ladies here are as fond of titles as Chicago heiresses. A title gives the right to embroider a coronet on the body linen. It is pleasant in a railway train to pour scent on o coroncted pocket hand- kerchiof. La Marechale Niel thought so, I dare say, in the summer of 1859. Her husband escaped the carnage of one of the battles fought that year in Lombardy. He also assured, against heavy odds and the terrible blunders of the general staff, victory to the French. His wife was with him when his marshal’s baton was brought in with a letter from Napomon III. Niel thought Mme. Niel would have melted into tears from joy. Instead of that the corners of her mouth fell. “You are marshal, you are,” she said. “That dam not make me dumbess,"â€"London / above notice was his reason for calling the council together. After thorough discuss- ion it was moved by Mr, Irwin, seconded by Mr. Webster, that we the members of this council strongly object to prop scd incorporation, and by a petition of the council with corporate seal attached, also by a largely signed petition of the rate- payers said petitions to be presented to Ontario Legislature, condemn such legis- l.r.i0h.-Carried.
