This combination has been fully tested wt the OGhio Experimental Staâ€" tion, and found to be quite as effective as the Paris green and Bordeaux mixâ€" ture combination, and for the reasons given al:ov:\ is much to be preferred. One and oneâ€"halif pints of this soluâ€" tion to each barrel of Bordeaux mix~ ture is suificient to use when sprayind for potato bWlight and polato bugs, for apple meab and apple worms, or for any other purpose where a combinaâ€" tion mixture for fungi and insects is reqtired, s The arsenic and soad solution, or arsenite of soda, is more safely used in comr bination with Bordeaux mixture tha 1 alone, as when in combination with Bordeaux mixture than alone, as whin in combination it will not inâ€" jJure the foliage, but alone it is liable to burn the leaves. The same objection ho ds good, however, with reference to Paris Green and London _ purple. It is letter in almost every case to use ths combination mixture, as fungi are nearly always present, and unless they are kept in check there is but little we of fighting insects. The arsenite of soda may be preparâ€" &f in any quintity desired, but being a most a clear liquid is dangerous to keep on hand. The danger may be obâ€" viated, to some extent by coloring the Imquid with some cheap aniline dye, usâ€" ing enough of the latter simply to give suificient color soâ€" thalt no one ‘vould mistake the solution for an inâ€" ffensive drink. It takes but a short time, bowever, to prepare sufficient for a day‘s spraying, which is, perâ€" haps, the least dangerous method. It is a rank poison and should be proâ€" perly labelled and carefully guarded, the rame as all other poisons. Insects may be the means of spreadâ€" inz fungous diseases and fungi may so enfeeble plants as to make them an easy prey to insects. Flew beetles, blisâ€" ter beetles (old fashioned potato bugs) and the larvae of tha Colorado potato beetle mot only make entering places for potato blight germs but may acâ€" tually earry the infection from ons plant to another. Probably the flea bectle is the worst offender of all, because of the numerous punctures which it makes in the leaves, With plum and cherry trees the case is reâ€" versed. Fungi alttack the leaves, causâ€" inz them to dro» prematurely, thus weakening the grees and â€"rendering them an easy, prey to the bark beetle. Simiiar relations between insects and fungi may not be evident in all cases, but the necessity of Lreating both canâ€" not be too strongly emphasized, for very often whoen one is allowed to go unchecked and the other destroyed, the work is partially or wholly lost. This may often hamvoen when the reaâ€" son is not avparent, In some casos there is no nsed, of an avplication of a combined mixture,but these awre excentional, if we exclude those cases where insscticides or funâ€" gicides nther than those above named are teqauired. Paris greon is a good insecticide, but is somewbat trouwblesome to use in liâ€" quid form as it does not dissolva readily, and needs constant agitation to keep it from settiing. If allowed to settle at all, the disâ€" tribution is not uniform, and injury is likely to result to the foliage of some plants, while the insects on other plants escape. Moreover, it is unduly expensive, whether used dry or in the form of a spray. White arsenic, in a soluble form, costs about oneâ€"third as much as Paris green, aund gives noâ€" trouble in the way of settiing. Dissolve two pounds of commercial white arsenic and four pounds of carbonate of soda (washing soda) in two gallons of water and use one and oneâ€"half pints to a barrel of Bordeaux mixture (50 gallons). is formed, and then dilute to two gal« lons. Whenever there is any possibility that insects and fungi are both presâ€" ent. it is well to use the combined mixture, even thouch evidence to that e‘T=ct is not conclusive. It is hardly possible to do anvy injury to plants by !hiq treatment, while the extra cost The rasiest way to make the solution is to put both the white arsenic an carlbenite of soda in a gallon of boilâ€" ing water and keep boiling about fif« teen minutes, or until a clear liquid this treatment is triflipg. 3011 the HrH A BSUBSTITUTE FOR PARIS GREEN Ve set oul early as possible, as curâ€" fants start earlier than most fruits. Mr. Orpet says: Preference shoulid be given to & covi, moist soil, one that has a clay swsoil is best for all bush {ruits, as it hoids well in a dry speli, A great assistance is at the hands of the cuitivator in the shape of a mulch under all small fruits; we have got in the way of it and do not stir the soil at all, as the roots are so near the surface, brought up there by the moisture usually present near the top of the soil, and it is a revelation to see how all bush fruits on dry soil have put on growth under this treatâ€" ment, and when the fruit is ripe it is kept clean by the straw that is used for a mulch. It is the strawy porâ€" lion of the manure that we use, and it contains a good proportion of plant food in itsaif, but wa spread a good sprinkling of fertilizer underâ€" each bush before putting on the mulch.

This is a slighter death rate than in the previous year, but is much below the average death rate. A â€" remarkable feature is the large number of deaths at advanced ages. Of the 276 there were not fewer than fortyâ€"six between 80 and 90 years of age at death and seven over 90 years, so that nearly oneâ€" fifth of the deaths wera of persons ovâ€" er 80 years of age.

The folâ€" lowing proverb ought to be heeded : Mistook the Colis of a serpent For a Pool of Water. The moonp bas a curious trick of changing objects into something quite unlike themselves in appearance. in one inslance such a transformation nearâ€" ly cost the life of a British soldier. He thus relates the incident: My company had been ordered into the Deshur district to break up the dacotis, who had become very troubleâ€" some. We arrived there in the night, stormed a band of the robbers by moonlight, killed or captured a round dozen of them, and chased the rest into tha jungle. my eye "It‘s a stagnant pool left by the rains, but it will serve to wet my throat," I said, and was for throwing mysolf on the ground to drink; but the steward puiled me back. ‘"Nay, sahib, stay! Lend me your sword for a moment," he said. He took the sword, and lightly stirâ€" red the pool with its point. From the middie of the pool a cobra‘s hooded bead arose, and there came the sound of its hateful hiss. With a sweep of the sword the steward cut the reptile‘s head off, and at once what had seemâ€" ed to me a waterâ€"pool became the withing coils of a serpent that had been fully six feet in length. _ wWEIGAH EVERYTHING YOU SELL "‘That was your pool, sahib," the steward gravely said.
