SPRAYING.
RESULTS SUMMARIZED FROM A RECENT
CORNELL EXPERIMENT STATION
BULLETIN.

Hand pumps have proved the most
satisfactory machine for spraying apple
orchards.
Power sprayers have proved unsatis-
factory because they do not throw the
spray far enough.
Power sprayers are excellent machines
TO use in spraying grapes and low grow
ing plants.
Four applications Of the Bordeaux
mixture made 70 King trees protected
fruit well from scab, but it ia probable
that three would have been sufficient.
The two most important applications
made for combating the spple-scab con-
sist Of the one which is made just before
the blossoms open, and the one made as
soon "a they fall.
IL a third treatment is advisable 1t
should be made about two weeks after
the falling Of the blossoms.
The use of three gallons of bordeaux
mixture upon bearing trees from % to 80
years OF age. seems to be advisable; for
part of the beneficial action OF this
fungicide may be the lessening of insect,
especially curculio, injuries. London
purple possesses no fuugicidal proper
ties.
Former applications Of arseuites ap-
pear 10 have exerte6 no influence In sup
pressing insect ravages during the past
season.
IL only one substance is applied to ap-
pie orchards, it should generally be
Paris green.
SPRAYING orchards In some cases in
creases the Weld of fruit from practical
IL nothing to full crop, but In other
cases the operation Is followed by near
" negative results in this direction.
Ii Is doubtless true that much OF the
failure of orchards 10 bear Is due TO the
want of proper fertilization aud cultiva-
ton.
The Bordeaux mixture has tendeacy
To produce rusty fruit.
Munson has shown that Paris green
possesses fungicidal properties.
Stinson has shown that fruit sprayed
three times WAS larger than that spray
ed twice. although the per cent Of scab
on both lots was the same.
Paris green must be applied immedi-
ately after the blossoms fall In order 10
be most effective against the Goblin
moth.
Rust was very prevalent in Chsutsu-
qua county the past season, but apple
growers, on the whole, are well satisfied
with results obtained from spraying.
The leaf-spot and the cracking OF
qIHnces may be controlled by the proper
use OF Bordeaux mixture.
Applications for the control OF this
disease need not be made so early as In
the case OF the apple scab fungus.
The shot-hOle fungus attacking plum
and cherry foliage can be controlled by
the use of Bordeaux mixture.
The fruit rot OF plums aud peaches can
be choked by the use of fungicides.

GOOD BREEDING AND SELECTION.

Farmers should keep better cows. TX
they did, and fed and cared for them
properly they would be much better of
finapcially. think. There Is no great
difference, IL any, in the cost OF keeping
a good or a poor COW, and the good one
is returning 10 her owner net profit,
while the other is barely or hardly pro-
duciug enough to pay her way.
Good cows must have good care.
These two factors are inseparable for
profit. prefer Il smaller herd of choice
cows To a larger stock of less desirable
animals. would get more satisfaction
aud profit from the smaller herd. When
"A farmer gets an extra good COW he usu-
ally feels proud OF her. aud will, natur-
ally, | think, give her better manage
meat than a poorer one.
A cattle trader recently said In sub
stance that farmers were missing IL by
not keeping better COWS, etc. aud should
invest little more money and secure a
good individual bull TO cross with their
herds and so improve their stock instead
of getting a scrub TO breed from. He

bulls 10 one good animal. | believe
every word OF his advice. By using
inferior animals on both sides 10 breed
from keeps the cows in about that class.
How, bv this method, can there be an
Improvement in the offspring:
In starting herd OF cows, II the per-
son hasn't the money 10 purchase a
whole herd of good ones, he should pur-
chase one or two cows that have good
individuality, pure bred II possible, and
paw moderately high price. If need be,
70 secure such. Breed these cows TO the
best bull 10 be found in his section, or, II
il i unsatisfactory. buy good iudividu-
AL bull OF the breed you fancy that Is
adapted 10 your purpose, and raise
the heifer calves. and feed and care for
them properly. As soon as YOU can get
the money replace the inferior animals
with good ones.
Thus in time the perseyering dairyman
who wants the best and Is willing TO pay
a fair price for il will be amply reward
ed for his efforts BY herd Of cows far

neighbors. and will be making larger
net income from his farm. His example
will. perhaps, have a great influence IN
promoting more successful agriculture.
