Tests for Paris Green.

Without good materials 1t Is impos-
sible to spray successfully. There are
on the market many kinds Of spray
ing materials and some Of them are
about worthless. This is especially SO
In such states as Illinois where there
are no inspection laws. In many other
states the laws make 1t difficult to
sell bogus Paris green or other bogus
poisons, and so large quantities OF
such stuff are dumped on the Illinois
markets. One result Of this condition
is the discouraging Of those that at
tempt to spray. They buy this bogus
material on the market mix 1t &C
cording to known rules. use 1t as d.
rected, and fail to do any good to
their trees. There are several ways
Of telling good from bogus Paris
green. The pure article is light emer-
aid green in color. Put little on
some window glass, tap the glass and
as the poison settles down 1t will re-
main light emerald green. II 1t
shows white streaks it is impure. II
Paris green is pure 1t Is an i'm
palpable powder. II 1t is not pure
1t will cake. II the impure is put on
q plate 1t will not fall apart readily.
Another test is to put some ammonia
into the Paris green. 1t will dissolve
the pure; 1t will not dissolve the i'm

At the Illinois station in five years
the percentage Of barren stalks in
the corn field has been reduced from
60 to IL, by selection of seed from
stalks fertilized by other ear-bearing
stalks. Experience has taught many
seed corn growers that it is difficult
to get good seed corn of the right
variety. The introduction of the
score card begins new era in the
growing of seed corn. In this card
uniformity has prominent place, for
the ears of corn must be uniform.

Poultry Points Picked On.

It is a mistake to imagine that
mongrel-bred fowls are harder than
pure-bred, though this opinion seems
to be quite generally held. Like a
good many other opinions this lacks
support by proven facts. Breeders Of
fine fowls claim to have demonstrated
it's fallacy. Under the general condi-
tons of the farm, thoroughbred
will stand as much as scrub will
stand. Light and heavy fowls should
not be kept together. There must be
similarity of treatment, and light and
heavy fowls do not need the same
treatment Diverse treatment can be
secured only by keeping the fowls Of
the two general classes separate.
One poultryman says: Never keep
a fowl longer than the second season;
put her on the market in July Or
August just before she begins to
mott" Other poultry men are just
as certain that it pays to keep fowls
for several years. In both cases we
lack data for proof 1t is to be hoped
that with the use Of the trap nests
and the experiments being inaugur-
ated at the agricultural colleges, we
shall know more about 1t before long.
There is no reason to doubt that there
will be found among our domestic
fowls birds that will prove good lay
ers even after they have attained
considerable age.
