Dissolve the copper sulpnate by put
ting it in a bag of coarse cloth and
hanging this in a vessel holding at least
gallons, so that it is just covered by
the water. Use an earthen or zOoodem
Vessel. Stake the lime in an equal amout
of water. Then mix the two and add
enough water to make 40 gallons. 1t is
then ready for immediate use but will
keep indefinitely. If the mixture is to be
used on peach foliage, it is advisable to
add an extra pound of lime to the above
formula. When applied to such plants
as carnations or cabbages it will adhere
better If about pound Of hard soap be
dissolved in hot water and added to the

each case has particular reference to
localities in which fungous and insect
enemies are most abundant. If your
crops are not troubled when some appli
cations are advised, it Is unnecessary to
make any. 1t should be remembered
that in all cases success is dependent
upon the exercise of proper judgment in
making applications. Know the enemy
to be destroyed; know the remedies that
are most effective; and finally, apply
them at the proper season. Be prompt,
thorough and persistent. knowledge
and good judgment are more necessary
to success than any definite rules which
can be laid down.

Spray Calendar.

In the preparation of this calendar the
most important points regarding sprays
have been selected and arranged in such
a manner that the grower can see at a
glance what to apply and when to make
the applications. The more important
insect and fungous enemies are also
mentioned, so that fairly clear under
standing of the work can be obtained by
examining the table below. When max
Ing the applications advised, other enc
mics than those mentioned are also kept
under control, for only the most serious
ones should be named in 50 brief an out
line. The directions given have been
carefully compiled from the latest results
obtained by leading horticulturists and
entomologists, and they may be followed
with safety.

Opening for Fiber Culture.

People in Mexico, Central and South
America make much use Of the agave
plant. From it's leaves is extracted
fiber which is largely used in the manu-
facture of cordage. Everywhere in
these countries will be found ropes
made from such fiber, though there is
nowhere, perhaps, any large commercial
concerns manufacturing it. But the
people generally appear to know how to
take the fiber from the thick, pulpy
leaves and to twist it into ropes of vari-
Gus kinds. The plant grows abundantly
in the arid regions of Mexico and further
south, as we'll as in California and nearly
all other parts of the arid southwest.
Such plants should be widely cultivated
and manufactured in this state. We
send abroad each year enormous sums
of money for fibers which should be
produced in our own country. To show
how Important it is that we should pro-
duce all fibers to which our conditions
of soil, climate and labor are suitable(and
GudU ucdIIS GILL AOIIOW-
lng,) we give a list of imports of these
goods for 1898 and 1894. Last year we
imported flax, hemp, istle, jute, manila,
sisal and other similar textile fibers to
the amount of 1854, 1854 tons, at cost of
81, 152, 1O3 while IN 1893 the imports
reached 227, 523 tons, which cost 3d.
8O4, 44O.
Nearly all these fibers, if not all of
them, could be produced in California
and several other states. including Florj
da, and it is only by thus utilizing our
lands for greater variety of crops that
we can hope for best results in agricult-
ure and horticulture. not alone in Cali
fornia but in many other states also.
Possibly the greatest bar to the pro-
duction of various fbers plants in this
country is the lack of proper machinery
for separating the f1der from the waste
parts of the plant. But doubtless such
machinery would soon become available
if a need for it were shown in DISPOSE
