THE HoRTICULTURIsr.
Miidew on the Grape vine.

During the summer OF 1890 expert
ments were tried with various COM
pounds Of copper-sulphate, for the treat
ment of mildew of the grape.
These experiments were carried on
throughout the summer, with several
kinds of grapes, In different localities,
all under the direction of the United
States Commissioner OF Agriculture.
The report OF these experiments has just
been published.
The remedies tried for mildew gen.
orally produced good results. In some
cases this was true with the remedies
tried for black-rot, but not generally.
The wide range OF area over which
the experiments were made and the diff
ferent climatic conditions under which
they were conducted, add much to their
value. Comparing the various remedies
used and the results obtained, the copper
mixture of Gironde, or Bordeaux mixture,
may be considered the best for mildew.
1t is made as follows: Dissolve I'm q
wooden vessel eight pounds Of sulphate
OF copper In fifteen gallons OF water;
warm or hot water Is best. In another
vessel slake ten pounds of lime in five
gallons of water. When both the copper
solution and the lime mixture are cooled
to the ordinary temperature OF the
air, pour the latter slowly into the
former, taking care to mix the fluids
thoroughly by constant stirring during
the operation.
When ready to apply to- the vines,
again stir it thoroughly. A pump for
this purpose is the best, but many use a
common whisk broom. Care must be
used to keep 1t from flesh and clothes.
If strong enough to burn the foliage,
eddffd bys imhhade m cloud" weather, or
late in the afternoon.
This experiment, in which the labor
was estimated at ten cents per hour,
costs less than two cents per vine. Sui
plate OF copper costs from five to seven
cents per pound by the barrel, at retail
ten cents.
Besides the benefit to the fruit, the
vines were greatly improved by this
solution; rich foliage and stronger growth
of wood was produced.
If this simple remedy will prevent mil
dew of grapes, the vineyardists of our
country will consider the experiments a
good investment.

mixed, he gave 1t as q gargle, and In ten
minutes the patient was out of danger.

In man, beast, or plant, In few minutes.
IIstead OF splitting out the gargle, he
recommends the swallowing of it. In

How to Treat spraIns.

sprains, and yet sprains are among the
most common OF minor accidents. Put

BILE. Vinegar and water, alcohol and
water, wtch-hazel and water, or arnica
make good lotions during the inflamma-
tory stage. When the pain is all out, a
little rubbing and passive exercise are
good, anc In two or three days a plaster
of paris bandage may be applied, and
when an ankle is affected the person may
get around with cane. BY this treat
ment, a Sapid cure results. : Albany

The majority Of well-read phys

words, instead Of being in the con-

lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do

BODY in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places

THE DAIRY.
Solids I'm MILK.

The fact that milk is liquid in form
deceives many persons as to its nutritive
value, as well as regards the character
of food needed to produce it. Farmers
know by experience that mangold or 9TH
er beets, while often promoting a large
flow of milk, either make it of poor
quality or rapidly reduce the flesh of the
COW. This fact is explained by the
chemical analysis Of milk, which shows
only IS per cent. of water, while the man
Colds have 90 per cent. Fodder corn when
green has so per cent. OF water, but IL
contains even less proportion of nitrogen
Gus matter than the mangolds. Good
milk is rich In two important and valua-
BILE elements. It's carbon is In tho form
OF fat, and is shown In cream and but
ter. Its heterogeneous matter shows when
the milk is soured, making curd and
cheese. Unless both these elements are
furnished in the food, the milk can only
be good at the expense OF the COW.
