Il has been informally decided at the

Why not? Rhode Island was a cradle

While the subject Of good roads Is
being agitated In every part of the
country those most Interested In tho
subject are doing their best TO make

ellie, but afterwards TO hundreds and
even a thousand miles. Thus taught,
they become expert in returning to
their owners, and do this from all parts
OF the country.
AS to their rapidity Of fight there is
much dispute. The more conservative
say that the usual speed Is about 30
miles per hour Some, however, be-
lieve II possible for these birds 70 fly
from 80 to 90 miles per hour in rare In
stances. IL takes about 12 hours for
a carrier pigeon TO digest crop full OF
grain. passenger pigeons have been
shot in New York with their crops full
OF rice, which they could not have OBJ
tanned nearer than the Carolina rice
fields. They must have travelled 800 or
400 miles In six hours, or over so miles
per hour.
In England pigeons have been re-
peatedly used IA wagers, bets being
made on the full speed of the birds. In
such cases n greater speed than 80
miles per hour has rarely been made.
In 1888 great trial of pigeons was
made at Client. On June "a, of that
year, "a birds that had been entered
for the prize were thrown up at Rouen,
about $50 miles from Client The first
pigeon arrived in Client in one and
one-hnlf hours; 10 came In within two
and one-half hours, and three in the
course Of the day; four were lost The
first pigeon must have travelled at a
rate Of nearly 100 miles an hour. which
seems incredible. Yet it Is possible,
seeing that 16 others also obtained a
speed OF over 60 miles per hour.
II Is hard TO believe that carrier
pigeons are not governed by instinct,
yet men that handle them say that IL is
merely matter of education. II the
bird cannot recognize some landmark
he gets lost. Also birds thrown up dur
ing fog or haze seldom reach their
destination. There are, however, some
rare instances extant that seem 10
prove that birds can succeed irrespec-
tive of tho educational principle

Spraying Is most effectual when IL Il
done early in the season. The sooner
the work begins the better. Sprayers
are now made OF many different do
signs. and solutions can be carried In
barrels on wheels, or on the back. In .
continuance similar to a knapsack.
Spraying Is intended not only to pre-
vent diseases of fruits and vegetables,
and TO protect the trees and plants In
that respect, but is used also MS safe
guard against insects. A fungicide Is
a solution used for destroying para
site fungi, such as rot, mildew, blight,
rust. etc. An insecticide Is used for
the destruction OF insects. OF the we'll
known solutions that have been tested
and found efficacious are those mem
toned below:
Blue vitriol tsulphate of copper is
the principal substance used as fungi
eide. Dissolve six pounds In four GAL
Ions of hot water, and then dilute
to sixteen gallons Shake four pounds
of lime In six gallons of water, In a
separate vessel, and when cool strain
1t into the copper solution. Use wooden
vessels after mixing This Is known
as the Bordeaux mixture" Another
copper solution, known as Eau Gel
este" Is made by dissolving two pounds
of copper sulphate In four gallons OF
water. adding three pints Of ammonia,
and then diluting to fifty gallons, APP
plying as soon as made. "Ammoniacal
copper solution" Is made by using car
Donate of copper, instead of the sui
phatc, and carbonate OF ammonia
Dissolve three ounces of carbonate OF
copper in gallon Of water, and one
pound Of carbonate OF ammonia in the
same quantity of water. separately.
Mix and dilute to fifty gallons, apply
ing when mixed.
For insects, the kerosene emulsion Is
mostly used. Shave one pound or hard
soap In half gallon of boiling water.
and when the soap is dissolved remove
the boiling water from the fire, and
add half gallon Of kerosene, churn-
ing brislrly with the force pump OF the
sprayer for fifteen minutes until the
mixture has the appearance of thick
cream. Kerosene will not mix with
water, but will form an emulsion with
soap. Now add slowly. stirring well
from ten 70 fifteen gallons of water,
according 10 the strength desired. 1t
will keep any length of time, and de-
stroys insects on trees and plants, as
well as feas, lice, etc, and does
not injure plants like unadulterated
kerosene, being also much cheaper. A
gin of spirits of tnrpentine will Inn
prove the emulsion II added at the
time of adding the kerosene. An ell
c'ent sprayer should throw a fine,
mist-like spray, and the spray should
spread over large surface so as to en-
able one TO do the work quickly and
thoroughly Farmer.
