The spraying of fruit trees for the purpose of killing injurious insects and fungi is known as being so efficacious that it is now looked on as one of the thtitisnowloohedonuonootthol usual operations of the fruit grower. As the season is fast approaching when the work of spraying will have to be commenced, a few remarks on the subâ€" ject will be in place. What is known | as Bordeaux mixture is composed of lime, bluestone and water. This is for the killing of all germs of leaf blight of a fungus origin. For the destrucâ€"| tion of leafâ€"eating insects, Paris green | and water is used. When it comes to sucking insects, such as the oyster shell and the Ban Jose scale something greasy hbas to be provided. The best mixture is made of whale oil soap and hot water, though hard laundry soap is fairly good. (When the power of these mixtures was first recognized, it was the custom to make them much stronger than later experiments have found necessary at the present time the liquid for spraying is made as follows: Four pounds of biuestone, 8 pounds of lime and 100 gallons of water. . This mixture is for blights. That for .use for the leafâ€"eating insects is made by adding a haif pound or lese| of Paris green to 150 gailons of water. . For sucking insects, say 2 pounds o# whale oil soap to 1 gallon of hot water. If not convenient to get the whale oil suap, bard laundry soap may be subâ€" stituted, though it is not as good for the purpose. > Eie 5 The time to start spraying trees, wheâ€" ther for fungus or imsects, is just as the buds are starting. There are sprayâ€" ing requisites advertised in all leading agricuitural pafers. All portions of the tree should feel the effects of the sprayâ€" PRACTICAL FARMING. ing. lf for insects, such as apple and Â¥'.um curculio, spray again just as the lowers fall, then again in ‘about three or four weeks, or earlient should rains appear to have washed off ‘the poisons. For leaf blights and fungus attacks of the fruit, such as plum and grape rot, | I besides the spraying when the buds |, are about to burst, other doses should }, follow. The second one should be just [1 when the foliage is fairly exfanded. 1 then when the fruit is first formed. and say twice more, at intervals of | about a month. When foliage alone is || considered, I have found two spratymg \ 1 ampie, one when the leaves were formâ€" |, ed, amother mear midsummer. _ It is || firobablo that no more than this would | e required for fruit. The San Jose and | oiher scale insects are to be combated | when the trees are bare of foliage. Give l one washing of the bark as soon as the ; leaves fall, another in midwinter and a | third towards spring, on badiy infest.-" ed trees. If but few scales are on the : trees, one washing, to be towards | | spring, will suffice. The San Jose scale | %is a formidable foe, as before noted in ; ‘theae columns, and at the first appearâ€" | ‘ance of any scaie, the trees should be | | washed at once, let the intruder be San | |Jose or what it may. . i We may add that the proper pr(gvor- tion of Paris green may be added to the bluestone mixture when the one compound will suffice for both fungus and insects This has been dcome with great success. \ As the flavor of butter comes largely from the action of certain germs or ferâ€" ments, it seems to me, says Prof. Mcâ€" Kay, that the right degree of acidity, other eonditions being favorable, deterâ€" lmines the flavor of the butter. As| ‘many of the lactic acid: germs require ! loxygen, stir the cream frequently. The | granw.ar appearance of cream is not alâ€" i 1ways a correct indication that it is | ready to churn. It is frequently in\ lthis condition when the acidity is very |low. From experiments at the lowa ‘siation, it seems that as good butter can be made from the milk of strippers as from fresh cows, provided the cream is properly ripened. It also seems that if buiter made from frozen cream is not. good the fawlt is not due to the freezing, but to the excessive heat in \thawing it out. Cream ripened at a |low temperature, and for a long: time, iwith but little stirring, has a bitter \taste and lacks flavor. We were enâ€" ! abled to secure a difference of from one ‘to two points from the same cream divâ€" ided and ripened at different degrees | | of acidity and different temperatures, \regardless of the starter used. I beâ€" lieve that the right degree of acidity not only governs the flavor of butter, but also that of cheese, under favorâ€" able conditions:.. To get uniform reâ€" suits with alkali tests, cream should be separated so as to contain about the |same per cent of fat daily. + hi W7 THE GARDEN. ‘ The margin between the possibilities and actualities of the average farmi garden is a thing of goodly dimensions. it is, naturally enough, a difficult thing for the farmer to realize to what extent of practical usefulness he may put a single acre of ground provided he is willing and careful to bestow upon it the right kind off attention. _ This, is so because of the fact that in his farm E work he looks more to ‘general results. But when he comes down to work on‘ a smaller scale he finds things quite | different. It is oniy recently that a . committee took upon itseif to (investigâ€" . ate somewbat as to what was actually . being done on some of the small truck . farms, near one of our large cities, and they reported that one farm of forty acres yielded annually $16,000 worth of fruits and vegetables; another of _ six acres yielded $6,000; another of ninety acres R@turned $20,000, and anotber of twenty acres returned $8,000. _ These figures represent good receipts, but even after making reductions for ferâ€" tilizers and other necessary exfendx- tures, the net returns aithough not statâ€" ed, were no doubt, handsome. . Apart, however from the profits from exclusâ€" ive truck farming, the garden; acre on the farm can be made an important item in the domestic economy of the :x:::e. if we t:tke Ainto eonnil(’l:ratio:;‘ all expense attaching to the purchase of garden produce to _ the health, comfort Mm of the family. 4 ing apples to cows is bemneficial or burtful.

Our own idea, writes Jobhn Gould, is against feeding a fresh cow apples, though it is not objectionâ€" able to feed a quantity to the cow that . has been in milk several . months. Only a few quarts should be fed daily ito any cow. _ A prominent . dairyman says that something extra should alâ€" 1ways be fed in connection with the apâ€" pies, such as clover, wheat, bran, cotâ€" ‘tonseed meal, or the like, to balance | up the food found in the apples. How | would it have resulted «o thave fed the extras mentioned and left the apples out 1 It seems like the case of the man feeding corn meal and saw dust, half and half, though be bad noticed that \ dropping out some of the sawdust had \no injurious effect. It has been stated |\ that where pomace could be had, and this solid matter fed with grain, there seemed to be a fair value to It, and on the score of succulence waAs found to be of benefit. * MAKING CIDER VINEGAR. . First have a good, strong, ironâ€"hooped barre!. Next have good apple cider. Cover the bungholes with mosqu.itornet- ting or other material that will keep out the flies The bungs ought not to be put in, except temporariily,; for at least a year. Keep the vinegar barrel in the garret or other place where the air is warm and sultry. The cellar is a bad piace in which to make vinegar. To hasten fermentation occasiona.ly turn the cider out of one barrel into another, thus exposing it more fully to the air, and by adding a gallon of strong vinegar or a little "mother‘" to mt db dus: : Pss a ©haw d stt d stt i d9€ hnsc each barre!. There are other methods by which the process may be hastened still more, such as trickling it through beech chips or shavings; (but ithese are hardly to be recommended, for those who are content to wait on the natural process rarely fail to find themselves amply repaid through the bigh value of their product. favors without a good deal of coaxing, and it takes a scientific man to coaX ber successfully. ’ Farmers need more curiosity than many seem to manifest. It takes but slight trouble to make a post mortem examination of ail creatures dying from unknown causes and often rich resuilts arise from it. * * l The cheapest winter food for swine is roots.

There are many useful improvements to chronicle in the way of luggage, and among them a trunk that does not need to be unpacked, but answers the purâ€" pose of a wardrobe and a chest of drawâ€" boots and shoes, lined with washable waterproof, so that, if thrown in mudâ€" dy, dirt can be washed off ; some havâ€" ing one long receptacle across for umâ€" brellas, g:rasols and sticks, the latter lwomen ve taken to in the country much of late.

LITTLE TOO SMART to yield her IJEWELS HID N A CHABR MRS. HURD CONCEALED HER VALUâ€" ABLES IN ITS SPRINGS. Then Sent 1t Away to Be Repairedâ€"The Gems Finally Recovered at An Upholsâ€" Nobody outside of the members of Hiram Hurd‘s family would have susâ€" pected that the big arm chair in Mrs. Hurd‘s bedrcoom contained anything but solid comfort. But for come months past Buffalo has been the scene of many burglaries. Homes, whether occupied or not, have been entered and the premises ranâ€" sacked for valuables. So it was that Mrs. Hurd, fearful of being robbed and searching for a safe place to conceal her jewels, found an empty space beâ€" neath the springs in the armchair and placed therein her jewel case, the conâ€" tents of which she values at $5,000. For several days she congratulated herself that no safer place for the conâ€" cealment of her gems could have been found, and having no occasion to wear them, she left them in their hiding It was on Friday that Mr. Hurd noâ€" ticed that the big armchair looked a trifle worn and that it needed reâ€"coverâ€" ing. He therefore ordered Jabez Loâ€" ton, an uphoilsterer, to remove the chair to imis shop. Accordingly the chair was delivered to an expressman, who carelessly loaded it upon an uncovered truck and drove away. ON ITS ARRIVAL at the upholstering shop the chair was rolled into a back room to await ites turn to be repaired. _ ~ _ . In the meantime Mrs. Hurd was blissfully unmindful of the whereabouts of the family gewels. She had seen the chair taken from the house, but it never occurred to ber that within it ; she had hidden brooches, | sunbursts, | rings, and watches containing diaâ€" hand under the hanging that concealed the springs, the silence of the anxious little group was almost painful. The uphoisterer‘s hband brought out _ a small, square, plushâ€"covered case. Yes, | there was the case! Were the jewels | still in it. An examination of each arâ€" ticle in the asse showed that none of its contents whis missing. . ‘Then Mre. Hurd thought of her handâ€" some little gold watch, studded with diamonds, which she bad put in a fold of the upholsteripg. A search for this monds, rubies, pearks and emeralds. The night following, bowever, Mrs. Hurd suddenly remembered,. The next moâ€" ment she had awakened her husband and shortly afterwards the two were being driven towards the upholsterer‘s.
