DISENCH'AN TED. culture recommend the following 80‘ lutions: 1. Bordeaux Mixtureâ€"Copper sul- Phabe. 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 ma- 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. Warm 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 ferrocyanide 0‘ potassium test. This substance can be got at any druggist's, and very little is reâ€" quired. vi‘ake is small bottle, 2 oz.. and get it filled with a, saturated solution of this compound. If there is not plenty of lime In your mixture, 3 drop of the test added to it. turns brown. Add more lime and stir. As soon {is the test fails to color in coming 1n contact with your mixture. it indi- cates there is sufficient lime present to neutralize the effects of the capper. Bulghate. Use wooden vessels in pre- paring the Bordeaux mixture. _ 2. Ammoniacal Copper Carbonate Solution, “Cupram.”â€"â€"Copper carbon- ate. 1 ounce; strong ammonia, suffici- ent to dissolve the copper carbonate; water, 10 gaflons. . This solution is not much used. and us recommended only in cases where the fruit is so far edvanwd that it would be disfigured by using the Bor~ deaux mixture. Use 200 gallons water in a mixture for apple trees. 250 for plum trees, and 300 for peach trees. When Paris green is added to Bordeaux mixture. so as to form a combined insecticide and fun- gicide, add four ounces to every 40 gallons of me Bordeaux mixture. 3. Paris Green Mixture.â€"Paris green. 1 pound; Water. 200 to 300 gallons; milk oi lime, ~4 gallonS. After dissolving the soap in the water, add the coal oil and stir well for 5 to 10 minutes. When properly] mixed, it will adhere to glass without oiliness. 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 gal- lons, no soap being required. This will not keep long. _ 4. Hellebore.-White hellebore, fresh. 1 pugce; water, 3 gallons. 5. Pymthrum.â€"- Pyrethrum powder. frgshL 1 ounce; ‘water, 4 gallons. 6. Kerosene Emulsionâ€"Hard soap. 1-2 pound, or soft soap, 1 quart; boil- ing water. soft, lgallon; coal oil, 2 gallons. NOTES. 1. 'When 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 the combined insecticide and fungicide, commencing as soon as the buds begin to swell, again when the leaves appear, and continue 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 dry, and the mixtures have liken allowed to remain on the foliage, Liz-:2; three or four times may be suf- firzient. In no case Spray while the trees are in bloom. but immediame after. It is contrary to law, and punishable by a {mg of from $1.00 to $5.00. 3. The combined insecticide and fun- gicide, containing Paris green and Bordeaux mixture, is to be used for insects that chew. and injurious fungi but kerosene emulsion alone for those insects that suck the juices of plants such as aphis, thrip. red spider, clover mite, oyster shell bark louse, San Jose scale. etc. 4. A stock solution for the prepar- ation of Bordeaux mixture may be pre- pared as follows: Dissolve 25 pounds of copper sulphate in 25 gallons of wa- ter. One gallon of this contains one pound of the copper sulphate. In anâ€" other barrel slake 25 pounds of good lime and add 12 1-2 gallons of water. One gallon of thh contains two pounds of lime. To make this mixture. take four gallons of the copper sulphate so. lution 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 Bordeaux mixture. Now fill up: the amount to 40 gallons with! wa- ‘er. - 7. Use a Y and two nozzles, or a trip- le hood and three nozzles. The work can be done just as well and much; more expedition-1y. 8. To keep Bordeaux mixture oft horses and herneu nee coarse linen or 5:, Prepare the mixture well. apply 3.2m 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 also 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 clear tl-a outfit. This is important. as com. ct the mixtures act chemically on the metal of the pump. to settle on the hands or face. or to be inhaled. Arsenites taken into the sys- tem by absorption or inhalation pro- duce symptom of poisoning. In mild cases they resemble the symptoms pro- duced by poisoning; in severe cases. hmdaches, nausea. eruptions. boils and was rs 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- ing 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 noz- zle. When much work is to be done. rubber gloves should be worn. The face and exposed parts should bewash- ed immediately after spraying- UUGML mubuso ID ”VII v V'J 0.. - _ per sulphate of the best quality. whiéh is the only kind which should be used. can be had at from 4 l-2c. to So. per lb. by the barrel. and Paris green at from. 150. to 206. per lb.
