The follow ing is my method Of applying
Paris green TO potatoes: | take "A shoI Is
sack and cut TO about the size of an old.
fashioned carpet bag Then, after mixing
the poisons, | put as much into the bag as
can be comfortably carried in one hand,
and ] an then ready for business. Passing
between the rows, | shake the bag over the
potatoes. One vigorous shake is usually
enough for a hill find this a quicker and
very much easier way than any other
have ever tried. ! also find wood ashes
equally as good to mix the poison With as
plaster or any other materiel. Cor. Am.
CuHirator.
OF al ways that have been recommended
for applying Paris green to potatoes, this
seems to be the most dangerous. 1t is al
most equal to stirring mixture of Paris
green and water with the hand, as was re-
Gently done by Connecticut farmer with
fatal result. The operator must walk very
near, or in, the poison dust that is sheken
from the bag yet it is true that more than
one person has applied Paris green by shak
ing the dust under his face from a bag, and
has escaped Immediate death.
1t is much safer to apply Paris green
with water than with dry mixture by any
process. A brush-broom is better than a
watering pot because the green settles to
the bottom very quickly in a watering pot,
and it is difficult to keep the mixture of
uniform strength; but with the brush broom
the water may be constantly agitated, keep
ing the green evenly distributed. The
brush broom skilfully handled will also dis
tribute the poison better among the leaves.

PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, 2G

when an article like baking powder, that is
relied upon for the healthful preparation Of
almost every meal, is so made as to carry
highly injurious IL not rankly poisonous
elements into our daily food, il is the duty
Of the public authorities TO take cognizance
of t.
In this fight for pure food made by the
"Royal" company, il is TO be noticed that
the most trustworthy scientific authorities
are emphatically upon its side In all the
contests Of this company with the alum and
other impure baking powders, the result
has proved that every statement made by
the Royal baking powder company, both as
to the purity of its own and the adultera
ton Of other baking powers Of the market,
was fully authorized by the most competent
chemical and medical authorities Of the
country.
In this contest two facts have been pref
ty conclusively settled in the minds of the
public, viz; lst that the Royal company
has found the means, and uses them, to
make pure article of food ID, that the
market is full of poisonous, alum and other
adulterated baking powders, which, no
matter how strongly endorsed by Com
mercial" chemists, are to be studiously
avoided
A pure baking powder is one of the chief
aids to the cook in preparing perfect and
wholesome food. The recent controversy
in the press has left it no longer question
with those who desire purity and whole
someness Of food what baking powder they
shall use

The practice of removing the surplus
fruit from trees which have ambitiously
undertaken more than they can properly
perform without injury to the present crop,
and permanent injury to the trees them
selves in many cases, is an operation which
needs only n careful, thorough trial to com
mend itself to all painstakng fruit growers.
Many who acknowledge that the crop af
ter thinning will sell for more money per
tree than if not thinned, are still unwilling
to admit that the gain will pay for the ex-
ira labor involved. Well, about how much
more time is required TO remove 500 apples,
pears or peaches in June and 500 more in
October than would be occupied in picking
the entire 1000 in October
Further than this, it is IA well known fact
that the production Of the seed of fruit
causes by far the greater draft upon the vi
tality of the tree than the formation of the
pulp surrounding it also that 1000 small
apples will contain nearly twice the weight
of seeds found in 500 specimens double their
size of the same variety, and thus be much
more exhaustive to the tree
We might in this connection mention an
incidental benefit which may result from
thinning of fruit The horticulturist may.
in thinning the fruit, notice many young
shoots that by pruning time next spring
viii become stout limbs to be cut off, where
as now they may he easily rubbed off, while
the plant food required for their formation
will he saved for the tree and fruit.-Popu-

would take - pounds Of milk 10 make a
