shown by fowls is equally significant
OF real need. Fish. flesh, herbs and
grain are deyoured by them with equal

entirely of the grains, reduced to char

Seven fat cherry pies, each nearly foot

members OF Apollo Senate, Knights OF

The Senate, which had just held It's quar-.

the announcement OF tho committee on

PARIS GREEN.
How and In What Proportion It should
lie Applied To Trees.

How and In what Proportion It should
he Applied to Trees.
A correspondent asks what proper
ton OF Paris green and water to use in
applying for insects. That depends
upon the quality of the Paris green.
Some of the Paris green that is sold is
disappointing in its results because II
is not up to standard. II it is full
strength Paris green use an even table,
spoonful TO two gallons of water 1t
must be remembered that this makes a
mixture and not a solution. Hence II
must be kept we'll st Tired. II may BE-
applied with common sprinkler or
fountain pump IL it is to be used on
trees. 1t is sometimes applied mixed
with flour. but the better plan is TO
use the liquid, for il is more handy. OF
course il is hardly necessary to say TO
anybody that care should be taken in
handling this poison, but in this care
less world we will give the caution.
Used. as Paris green is generally used,
there is no danger coming from eating
the fruit or vegetable to which it is ap-
piled. Prof. Forbes applied it Excess
sively in making certain experiments
to apple trees. From one of the trees
last sprayed in September apples were
picked week after the operation, en-
closed in a sack. and subjected to q
chemical analysis. 1t was found tina,
it would tako seventy-fve apples to

ficient 70 make the eating of fruit to
which Psris green has been applied
