Winter and Spring SPRAYING.

Winter and Spring SPRAYING.
1t seems to be almost universally
claimed now by our best hOrticulturists
that spraying in winter. when the trees
are bare, effects more in killing fun
gouS diseases than spraying when
the foliage has come out, as the spray
can be used much more than double
the strength and is more sure of reach
ing every part of the bark, thus also
reaching the fungus spores which may
be harbored there. 1t can also be used
on such as may be on the ground, or in
the grass and weeds under the trees.
These spores lie there dormant during
the winter months, but start and multi
ply rapidly in the warmer weather, and
especially if it be damp. They are also
agreed that the law against spraying
apple trees when in bloom, to kill the
larva of the codling moth, though en-
acted as protection to the beekeepers,
is really an advantage to the orchard
ist. In Niagara and Ontario counties.
New York, many experiments have
shown that when blossoms were spray
ed with paris green strong enough to
kill the codling worms, the blossoms
failed to set any fruit, and usually fell
off much sooner than those not spray
ed. This was seen where one-half the
tree was sprayed in bloom and the
other was not

Raising PIGS.

We always preferred to have the
young pigs come in March rather than
later in the season, partly because we
were not too busy to attend to them,
and more especially because they
would be fattened before the weather
was very cold and We're out of the way
when we wanted the space for those we
intended to feed in the winter Then
too, if we bred any to sell we usually
found the price better in November
than in December or January. With q
well-built piggery we had no trouble
in getting winter pigs to grow and be
fit for the butcher at about seven
months old, and if they would dress
about POO pounds each they were al
ways in demand-Amefican Cultiyator.
