Winter SPRAYING of Fruit Trees.

Winter Spraying of Fruit Trees.
The spraying Of fruit trees during the
winter should not be neglected. Before
the leaves start the trunk and every
branch of the tree should be well spray
ed with solution of one pound of cop
per sulphate in twenty-five gallons Of
water to check scab, codling moth, bird
moth, tent caterpillar, canker worm,
plum curculio and San Jose scale on
apple trees, to be followed up after. the
blossoms fall by the resular bordeaux
mixture of four pounds each of sui
phate of copper and lime to fifty gallons
of water. Some prefer to use SIX pounds
sulphate of copper instead Of four
pounds, but we are not sure that this is
any better than the other, while for
peach trees that have put out their
leaves the use Of three pounds of sui
phate of copper to six or nine pounds
Of lime is thought strong enough for
fifty gallons of water. But we are now
speaking of winter spray before the
leaves come out. The mixture Of fifty
pounds each of line, salt and flowers
of sulphur IS used on the Pacific coast
for the San Jose scale, but in our East
ern climate 1t does not seem to be as
effectual, as the frequent rains wash 1t
off. A mixture of pure lime made as u
thin whitewash and used On peach trees
TIVE or three times in the winter has
been recommended as spray that will
keep the leaves and buds from starting
early enough to be killed by the spring
frosts.-American Cultivator.

then attempted a conversation by

no balance a Plate,

We have seen in the circus how
plates, dishes, etc, are turned around
on the sharp end OF stick. Such
things are generally made of wood or
metal, and they lose their balance as
soon as the turning movement gets so
slow that they cannot overcome the
force of their gravity.
We will now learn how to balance a
plate on the point of a needle Without
the help of rotation.
Split two corks lengthwise and stick
a fork In the end of each Of the four

right angle with one another. Then
place the four pieces Of cork in even
distances on the rim of the plate, and
see that the forks touch the edge of
the plate.
After this is done, place the plate on
the point of a needle, the head of which
is forced in the cork of a bottle. and
the plate will balance: BY careful
handling the plate can be given
rotary motion which will last some
time as the friction between the needle
point and the plate is very small.

Artificial Ice Ponds.
There are few better sources for get
ting good ice than from a properly con-
structed artificial pond, because they
can be placed on a stream of pure run
ming water, which can be let off during
the summer months, and allowed to fill
up before freezing weather. The bot
tom can be cleaned before the water is
let in, and if there is no impurity above,
the ice Will be much purer than from
the ordinary pond. A pond containing
one hundred square rods should cut
about twenty thousand square feet, or
five hundred tons, when the ice will
average nine inches thick, and this
would be enough for several families
or dairies. For single family with
small dairy, even six square rods would
fill an icehouse ten feet square, twelve
feet deep, or about thirty tons, more
than many use for dairy. If the ice
was thicker or was cut more than once
in year, the amount would be largely
increased. Roth these might happen in
ordinary winters in this climate. The
ideal pond should be about 31a feet
deep, and with gravelly or sandy bot
tom. Water in the shallow pond
freezes more quickly than in larger
pond or running stream, and where
it is filled quickly the ice is clearer. A
grass bottom is allowable, if it be
cleansed by moving and raking before
the water is let in. The shallow depth
prevents danger from drowning unless
one goes in head foremost. For the
smaller houses one needs no expensive
outfit of ice tools. A straight-edged
board to mark off the squares, a cross
cut saw, and an ice chisel, few pixies,
a runway, with blocks and ropes to
draw the ice up the run, are all that are
absolutely necessary. Two men to cut,
two to run it into the house and one to
pack it inside will make good gang for
a small pond-New England Farmer.
