Spraying Orchard Trees.

"A correspondent writes TO ask for some
suggestions and information concerning
the practice Of spraying fruit trees and
vines. In response we offer the follow
ing summary OF the good results of this
practice, as shown in a recent bulletin
of W. j. Green, horticulturist of the
Ohio experiment station:
1. The profit to be derived from spray
ing orchards often exceeds $40 per acre,
and for vineyards much more. The fruit
crop Of the state would be enhanced in
value several million dollars annually
If the practice were generally followed
2. Combined fungicides and insecticides
are recommended whenever applicable,
because of a saving Of time, a less liza
bihty OF injuring foliage, greater eff
cheney in some cases, and as a precau-
tiOnary measure in others.
3. Dilute Bordeaux mixture. cOpper-ar-
senic solution, and ammoniacal solution
Of copper carbonate ale the most useful
fungicides for the treatment of
the diseases herein mentioned, and the
first has the widest range of usefulness
Of all.
4. Early spraying is the key to success
in the use Of fungicides.
5. For the plum curculio and shot-hole
fungus use Bordeaux mixture and paris
green combined, making three or four
applications.
will prevent the black-knOt, but cutting
away and burning diseased branches
will accomplish the result.
g. ScaBby apples rot much earlier than
those free from scab, and spraying with
fungicides will save at least so per cent.
of this loss.
Z Spraying with fungicides in the sea
son Of 1892 prevented much of the early
dropping of apples. which is usually at
tributed 70 wet weather.
s. For apples. two applications of Bor-
deaux mixture before blooming are ad-
vised. and two of the same mixture
after blooming. with paris green added.
g. The same treatment is recommended
for the pear as for the apple. before
blooming. but the copper-arsenic solu-
ton is advised after blooming.
10. The Bordeaux mixture If used too
late, causes a russell appearance on both
pears and apples.
II. The ounce may be treated the
same as apples, or with Bordeaux mix
ture alone.
IL. The treatment advised for the
cherry consists in making two or three
applications Of paris green-two ounces
10 fifty gallon Of water.
10. Peach trees and American varie-
ties Of plums have very tender foliage
and must be treated with very weak
mixtures, IL at all.
II. Raspberries may be treated with
Bordeaux mixture alone. Grapes with
the same until the fruit sets; after which
use copper carbonate. Potatoes should
be sprayed at least five times with Bor-
deaux mixture and paris green.

Smut in Wheat.

The department Of agriculture recon-
mends the following remedy for stink
ing smut in wheat: "Immerse the seed
for few minutes in scalding water. not
much above 1872 degrees and not in any
cose above 1S5 degrees; place the grain
supposed to be affected in sacks in
quantities of half a bushel at a time;
immerse il first in water having a tenn
perature OF 10 degrees, and when warm
plunge il in another vessel where the
neat shows the temperature required.
The volume of scalding water should be
six TO eight times as great as the seed
treated, and the thermometer should be
consulted all the time the wheat is in
the scalding water. The grain. otter re-
naming fifteen minutes under treatment,
is taken out and dried 1t is best TO treat
the seed just before planting. Before
placing in the sacks again these should
be thoroughly boiled for fifteen minutes
This Is done to prevent any spores of
smut which have escaped from the dry
wheat remaining to infect the seed after
il has been cleaned

Economy of Large suupIy.

\ large supply of fertilizer to an acre
of ground will not only give much
greater return, but also pay for the fer
tilizer itself. In a fruit-growing section
of New Jersey one grower annually APP
plies a ton Of fertilizer to an acre, the
cost being sometimes as much as $50.
but he was the only one in that section
last year who made a good profit, as
his crops grew rapidly from the start
and were within reach of a continual
supply Of plant-food. the yield being suf-
ficient TO repay the outlay for fertilizer
and give a profit well, at the same
time leaving his soil in better condition
than before. In such a case he would
have been extravagant had ne attempted
to economic in the cost. as he would
have failed in his crops, as was the case
with some of his neighbors. 1t is on rec
ord that over /, 900 bushels of potatoes
per acre have been grown on an expert
mental plot. but the crop was due TO
the very liberal use of fertilizers and
excellent cultivation given.

MUNCIE IN LUCK AGAIN.
Another Large and Important Indus
try Secured to the Magic City.


try Secured to the Magic City.
MUNCIE. March .-Special-Through
the efforts of the Citizens enterprise
company Muncie has secured a very i'm
portant new industry.
1t is the Patton manufacturing COM
pany factories located at Columbus O.,
and Jacksonville Ind. The company
has for twenty years past operated large
manufacturing establishments in the in
closure of the Ohio state prison, also a
large plant in the Indiana state prison
south IT Jeffersonville. The capacity OF
each of the plants is about 275 hands.
The plant from Ohio will first be moved
here and Mr.. a. CT. Patton today told
your correspondent that he would have
the plant i'm full operation in Muncie by
May. The object is to combine both
plants into one in this city employing
over 600 hands. but the Jeffersonville
plant cannot be removed until after a
three-year contract with the state eX-
pires. The buildings will cover about
ten acres Of ground just east Of the
city in the suburb of Boyceton. The
company manufactures holiowware
used in stoves and cuspidors, etc. About
One-half of the force is molders, who
will make from $3.50 TO $3.50 per day.
Only about fifteen families will accom-
pdny the plant from Columbus here.
The investment here will be about $780,
600 The firm has a well-established
trade from Maine to California both
North and South. Mr. Patton stated
that the main cause for his removal from
the prison was the strong feeling that
is fast growing against convict labor and
the threat TO stamp all goods made in
prisons 'Prison-Made."
He says: ITO us it will be about as much
satisfaction to get outside the big stone
walls as it would a long-term prisoner"
The main building will be 400 by so
feet, part two stories. This will be the
machine shop and enameling depart
ment The foundry will be 400 by 100
feet with a wing 100 by $50 feet. The
packing and shipping department will
occupy a two-story building 400 by 90
feet All these buildings will be of brick
and stone. Beside these there will be
several iron, coke and sand sheds. and
the engine and boiler house When both
plants are in operation here about 200
hands will be employed. One-half of
these will be moderS and all will be new
men, as the prisoners cannot hold their
places.
Work on the building will begin next
week just across the river east of the
city between the L. +. & W. and Big
Four railroad tracks. The Magic City
is happy at her success in securing the
enterprise.
