Tests with Bordeaux Mixture,

In Germany tests were made to as
certain the effect Of number Of fac
tors upon the composition of Bor-
deaux mixture, as shown by the sep
aration of the different mixtures upon
standing. Among the experiments
were those to determine the effect OF
iron sulphate, which is commonly
present in commercial copper sulphate,
different quantities and qualities of
lime; different concentrations of mix
lures: order of combining the solu-
tons. and temperatures of solutions.
The presence of iron sulphate was
found to cause more rapid separation
Of the liquid. Within the limit OF the
experiments, separation was inverse
ly proportional to the amount of cop
per sulphate used. The quality OF
lime affected the mixture very appreei-
ably, the mixture containing the best
lime precipitating the slowest. The.
proportion Of lime exerted the same
effect as the amount of copper. Fresh.
well-slaked lime gave better mix
ture than poorly slaked, but fresh, air
slaked lime was about it's equal. Old
or air-slaked lime produced a mixture
that separated very rapidly. Allowing
the milk Of lime to stand for two days
was practically without effect upon the
different mixtures, the results with
milk of lime that had been exposed to
the air being almost identical with
freshly made. Bordeaux mixture made
by pouring the lime into the copper
solution was much inferior to the
others. Where the copper mixture was
poured into the lime, and where both
mixtures were poured into a third
vessel, the mixture was about the
same. Heat was found to cause sep
aration in the mixture in proportion
to the increase of temperature.

Notes Of. :A,falfa.

In different countries Its duration as
a plant varies. In Peru and Chilli it
IS said that fields planted BY the Span
iards hundreds OF years ago are still
In existence and still bearing alfalfa.
DC IS q perennial plant there, not only
otanically, but IN the ability It has
to exist without dying out. AT the
New Jersey station, however, its dura-
ton seems to be less, as that station,

well established will last a number Of
years, from four to ten or more. de-

and the treatment Of the plant In ref
erence to manuring and methods of
cutting. The annual upright u and
branching stems, when cut, do not
sprout, but die back to the crown.
when new shoots start and grow rapid

that Of New Jersey, the plant succumbs
more quickly to adverse conditions
than in a climate OF unclouded e sun
and abundant heat. =S.= Il. s rs.

There is, however, a problem con-
nected with its growth that has not yet
been entirely settled. No matter how
well it may grow in the semi-arid area
it sometimes shows a decided tendency
not to do well in the more moist states.
Recently the writer saw at Southern
Pines, North Carolina, large field OF
alfalfa. The ground seemed to be suit
able for It, and 1t was learned that
the seed bed for the alfalfa had been
well prepared and enriched, but the
growth was meager, At the time OF
the visit the owner had ordered a bar
rel of soil from Kansas from field in
which the cultures that work on the
| roots of alfalfa were supposed to be
abundant. He hoped by the introduc-
ton Of these germs to cause larger
growth. The soil on which it was
| growing was sandy, but rich. Doubt

The Scraping of Tree

Prof. L. H. Bailey OF Cornell Uni
Versity writes to Vicks Magazine as
follows: g. III Z, x 1 s Is i. :. .s4
Now and then hear that man who
calls himself The Cornell Tree Prun-
err or something of the kind is scrap
ing all the outer bark from fruit and
shade trees No person is authorized
to use the name Of Cornell University
to advertise his abilities as a tree
primer or tree doctor. -
The question is constantly arising as
to whether trees should be scraped of
their outer bark. This outer bark is
dead tissue, but it may serve as a pro-
lection to the tree. The features Of
this outer bark are also characteristic
of the different kinds of trees and con-
tribute no small part to their beauty
and interest. certainly should never
scrape the bark from trees which are
grown for ornament, unless there were
some particular reason for it. This
patlcular reason might arise when
there were a serious incursion of some
insect which. finds a harbor underneath
the bark, or when some species of body
blight attacks a tree and it is neces-
sary to remove the bark in order to
get at the difficulty. These are spe-
cial and comparatively rare cases.
however. Certainly the general rule is
to leave the bark on all ornamental
and shade trees To take it off does
no good, and it robs them Of very
much Of their characteristic beauty.
In case of orchard etrees, it is often
advisable to take of the hanging bark.
in order to destroy the harboring
places of codlin-moth and other in
Isects Even in that case, I should not
scrape down to the light co1ored or I'M
ner bark, but take off merely the
rough, loose exterior. Orchard trees,
not being grown for ornament, often
present more kempt and tidy appear
ance if the old bark is removed. It is
to be emembered that the ideals
which underlie the care Of fruit trees
| may not obtain with ornamental trees
have understood that this itinerant
tree primer asserts that he is able to
destroy the pear blight by busting
Isome material on the trees which he
has scraped. It is only necessary to
say that little need be expected from
such treatment. 4 t ~.

Taking Off the moss is little more than

moss should be removed, for in remov-

trunk, and the tree--if It is a fruit tree
will have a more tidy ppearance..
The moss may be scraped off lightly.
