Until Tomorrow.
LEDrrED BY REV. D. T.. TUrTLE.l

If YOU have a task to do
Thatstems as if you'd ne'er get through,
Believe me that the wisest way
Is to begin the task to day.
If YOU have a word unsaid,
Spoken, would make one comforted,
Go find that one, and say it straight;
It is a word that cannot wait.
If you can do a kindly deed,
Can heal the sick or hungry feed,
Do not leave the deed undOne
Until you see t~o-morroW's sun.
Bat angry words, and selfish way,
Are best put off another day,
And then another day again
Postpone what Civ S another pain.
So keep the hasty speeches down;
And make smile chase ba * the froWn
In silence let i'll temp r lie
For an eternal by aud by.

UNITED STATES DEPAR TMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.
Division of Publications.

WASHINGTON, D. ..

There ie now ready for distribution
by the United States Department of
Agriculture to all applicants a bulle-
tin on 'Sprayingfor Fungous Diseases
No. 80 of the Farmers Bulletin SO
rios. Ii Is four years since there was
published in a former bulletin "a sum
mary of the more important methods
Of combating some Of the destructive
diseas S of fruits" During this time
many improvements have been made
in the work, and for this and other
reasons it seams desirable to row bring
together, in brief, practical form, our
present knowledge On the subject.
The question as TO whether it will pay
to spray has long since been answered
IN the affirmative, so it is not necessary
at this time to enter upon any argu
ment in regard to this phase Of the
6uf-ct.
During the past four years runner
Gus solutions, powders, ETC., have been
tested, with a view Of determining
their value as economical, effec
tive, aud practical preventlves of fun
gous parasites. While a number Of
these preparations have given promise
of value, none have been found which
Eli so many r. Q1iremonts as Bordeaux
Mixture and the Amm0niac2l Solution
OF Copper Carbonate. OF the two prep
arations, Bordeaux Mixture has long
been recognized as possessing the most
valuable qualities, aud it is probably
more generally used today than ali
other fuOg'cides combined. The Chief
points in it's favor are
go It's thorough effectiveness as a
fungicide.
''(2) It's cheapness.
"(2) 1t safety from a hygienic stand
point.
90 Its h~armlessness to the spraye ed
plant, and
90 Its beneficial effects on plants
other than those resulting from the
mere prevention of the attacks Of par
asites.
so far as we at present r con
cerned, therefore, it is necessary to
consider only the two ungctdes in
question, setting forth the recent i'm,
provemonts made in preparing and
using them"
The contents Of the bulletin are as
follows:
1. F~ungicides or remedies for plant
diseases.
2. Methods of applying fungicides.
3. Treatment Of grape diseases
black rot, downy mildew, powdery
mildew, and a~nthracnoee.
4. Treatment of apple d~iseases-ap-
pie scab, bitter rot, and powdery mil
dew.
5. Treatment Of pear diseases.
6. Treatment of ounce, cherry, and
plum diseases.
