Use OF Lime In Curing Alfalfa Hay.
Aforementioned Brevities..

A four years test on Long Island
soils supports the idea that 1000
pounds is the most profitable amount
of high grade fertilizer to use per acre
for potatoes.
Cow and horse manure supplement
one another, the former being rich in
potash, the latter in nitrogen and phos
phoric acid. Together they form a
complete manure, furnishing in good
proportions the three essential constit-
uents of plant food.
Dwarf Essex rape, if sown early in
May, is likely to become infested will

In buying manure preference should
be given TO that of grain fed animals.

a cement which Resists Acid.

In some branches of industry ce-
ment which is proof against the infiu-
ence of acids is absolutely essential
and such a substance can be prepared
by melting together one part of India
rubber with two parts of linseed OIL
This should be gradually incorporated
with three parts Of white bole so as to
form plastic mass. This when heated
softens but very little. Though it does
not easily dry upon the surface, when
once set it is not affected at all by n.y.
drochloric acid and but very little by
nitric acid. It's drying and hardening
is materially promoted by mixing with
one-ffth of its weight of litharge or
minimum.

all blossoms dead, with possibly one exception.
2. Sprayed in bloom; at least two vigorous fruits
set.
sion that if the stigmas Of an apple
blossom before fertilization should be
subjected to the action of some fungi
eide or insecticide, even though the
amount in contact with the sensitive
surface be slight, the chances would
be decidedly against the growth of the
little fertiliZing bodies which fall upon
it. In that case the blossoms could not
set fruit. Study in the orchards at
Geneva confirms this conclusion, but
shows also that the blossoms in many
cases become fertilized very soon after
they open and thus escape the de-
structive effect of the bordeaux, except
when it kills the tissues of the tender
parts of the flower.
Several sprayings have cut off crops,
and single spraying has killed some
blossoms.
1t seems certain that spraying in
bloom destroys some of the blossoms
and might in some seasons seriously
lessen the crop. In other years, though
when blossoms are very plentiful, the
thinning of the fruit by death of the
flowers from the bordeaux mixture
may be of advantage, especially if the
spray be applied at such time that
the strong center blossoms have pass
ed the danger point and the later side
blossoms of the clusters only perish.
No evidence has been found to sup
port the view of some growers that the
spraying actually helps the flowers te
set fruit, but it all points to the con
trary belief.
