BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued. from tho
Division of Vegetable Physiology and
Pathology, Bulletin No. 8, by Walter
I. SwIngle, which treats technically
of the chemistry, physical properties
and toxic effects OF Bordeaux mixture
on fungi and algae.
The bulletin is intended not only to
record tho results of Investigations,
but also to suggest lines of work that
might protitaGly be taken up by ex-
pertinent stations and other similar
institutions. While technical in its
nature the bulletin contains many
suggestions Of practical value. 1t
shows that tho chemistry, as we'll rs
, the structure of Bordeaux mixture,
may be materially changed by the
method of bringing together the in.
gradients, and suggcsts necessary
notifications Of former directions for
preparing the funSicide.
The author says: Notwithstanding
the widespread use OF Bordeaux mix
tnre, the exact nature Of its action in
preventing the rayages OF parasitic
fungi has been but littlo studied and
is still only imper!cctly understood.
In this bulletin m attempt is made to
present summary OF our present
knowledge on the subject, and with
this end in view all literature relating
to the amount Of copper necessary to
kill fungi and algae has been collected
and briefly summarized
The questions considered are dis.
, cussed under the following heads: N
Chemical composition Of Bordeaux
mixture; (2) physical nature, cause of
setting; (i) conditions governing the
adherence of the mixture and the solu-
biilty OF copper; (4) amounts OF cop
per IN solution necessary to kill fungi
and other cryptogrHms; ~ stage OF
development of parasitic fungi when
acted on, and how entrance to the host
plant is prevented; (G) hypothesis as
to the action of copper in poisoning
fungi"

PER CENT OF FAT IN CREAM.

In answer to the inquiry of sub.
scriber as to what per cent of butter
fat there should be in cream as it
comes from the separator to obtain
the best results in churning. the fol-
lowing answer in Hoard's Dairyman is
a very good one: From thirty to
thirty-fve per cent, provided you can
secure the proper churning tempera-
ture. Rich cream requires a lower
temperature for churning, aud when
this can be had gives not only a small
or per cent. of fat in the buttermilk,
but also less buttermilk, which is a
double gain. It is sometimes difficult
to get the required temperature in
summer, and in such cases it is better
to take a cream with less fat in it.
For thirty per cent. cream the tenn
perature should not be above tifty-hv
degrees when the butter breaks, and
say fifty degrees or less at starting
dependent Somewhat on the tempern.

Think of it, A man without much
money projects 1000 miles of railway.
He has it from his engineers that the
grading, the right .of-way, the depots, the
machine shops, the full equipment of the
road in running order, will cost $500
per mile. He incorporates the projected
road ut sol, 900 per mile. AS a special
favor he offers the bonds for $25, 900 per
mile for sale and sells them. He makes
81, 600 for every mile that is built. Just
in the building of the road he lays up
$1,000, 900, and he owns $50, 900 in shares
of stock to the mile The road, which
actually cost SIS, 100000, he makes cost
$50, 900, 600. If the operating expenses are
s per cent. on the cost, and he wants 7
per cent. dividends on the original cost,
the road ought to return SO, 700, 600 year.
AS he fixes it, he insists upon the per
cent. and the per cent on the $50, 900 a
mile, and so instead of drawing 50, 700, 600
year, he compels the patrons of the road
to pay him $4,000 and that leaves
him clear profit every year of a, 800, 600
in excess OF what he ought to have. Every
man Of that kind is wonderfully concern
ed nowadays as to the honor and the
credit of this country, and the press of

one of those harpies which prey upon the
