To guard against the second and third
broods the most effective method is to
bind the trees with burlap, preferably
within IL or IS inches of the ground.
This band is easily secured by a tack.
Once in seven or eight days these
bands should be removed and the
Iarva destroyed. The first application
OF bands should be made about the
middle of June.
Bordeaux mixture is composed OF
sulphate of copper, commonly spoken
of as blue vitriol and lime. This
may be applied in combating fungus
diseases at the same time we spray
with arsenical poisons. One operation
answers both purposes. Lime is used
in the composition of bordeaux mix
ture in order to check the rapIdlty
with which the copper solution may
be absorbed by the plant on which
it is sprayed. Should the action OF
the sulphate of copper be too intense,
too rapid, the foliage may be harmed,
since cell structure of the leaf might
be destroyed almost as surely as the
fungus spores the orchardist hopes to
kill In the application of bordeaux
mixture it is of the utmost import
ance that it should be applied as
fine, misty spray. Thus applied, it re-
mains longer on the surface than
when applied in coarse stream, or
drops. In dissolving sulphate OF cop
per we have found it convenient to
suspend so pounds of the blue vitriol
in sack in a 50-gallon barrel of wa
ter. Should the sack containing the
sulphate of lime be allowed to rest on
the bottom of the barrel, the liquid
at the bottom of the barrel becomes
so strong that the sulphate does not
rapidly dissolve.
By measuring the liquid we know
the amount of sulphate of copper
used.
1t will be found convenient to slack
IS pounds of lime to use with so
pounds of sulphate of copper, using
1-2 pounds for each pound of sui
phate of copper. After combining
these two elements. sulphate and lime,
after dissolution they should both be
poured n a tank at the same time
and after they have mixed, we then
add the arsenical poison.
After using number of different
kinds of nozzles our foreman, Mr..
Walker, is in favor of the Seneca noz-

ticles of lime and using the other side
the stream is thrown against an over
hanging lip breaking the stream into
fine, misty spray.
For some fourteen years we have
used a power pump, with a sprocket
gear attached to the hind wheel Of
the wagon. In this way we apply
horse power to the pump from the
wagon wheel, material saying in
spraying a commercial orchard. 1t is
important that the pump should have
working parts of brass, since sulphate
of copper speedily corrodes iron. The
hose should be wire bound, or it is
likely to burst under great pressure.
To secure very fine, misty spray,
strong power is necessary. We find
the work all three horses can carry.
The operator holding the nozzle should
protect himself with a Fish Bank
slicker. The sulphate of copper will
eat up rubber coat in very short
time. A pair of rubber gloves will be
destroyed in three days.
Handled in any way this work will
be found disagreeable. Those who
have smaller orchards, using hand
power, can protect themselves to bet
ter advantage, and suffer less incon-
vehience from the spray. Where the
trees are very large, in order to give
the trees sufficient and effective
amount of spraying material, 1t will
be found not only necessary to drive
on both sides of the tree, but some
times to drive twice around the row.
If possible, spray with the wind.
Trees Il to Is years old require the
application of quarts or a gallon to
the tree. For large trees it will re-
quire more. A strong -geared wagon
pump will apply from 1000 to $500
gallons daily, something depends on
the accessibility, and the distance to
be travelled in going to and from the
orchard.
These suggestions are based on our
experience in commercial orchard
work. Those who have but a few
trees will, of course, use hand pumps,
and will prepare smaller quantities
of the sulphate and the lime at one
time.
Purchased in barrel lots of 450 lbs.
sulphate of copper should cost SIC
pound. We have been using green
arsenoid for some years, because it
remains in suspension little better
than Paris green. 1t should cost from
IA to 15c lb.--E. F. Stephens, Crete.

Only figuratively speaking, however,
for "The Colored Ragamufflns" is a
musical composition in the form of

A STRANGE STORY.
Former Meriden Man Returned to Ger

OIlIlGT M9T1uen Man fIeLuT11oQ 10 ter
 many and Hanged for Murder.
 Meriden, March 31.-Joseph Rup- precht, former resident of this city, who, with his wife and two children, left Meriden last August to go to Arm berg, Germany, the town in which Rup- precht was born and where with his family he was to reside, was executed day, March 12, in Arnberg, for killing Herman Munelgo.
 When friends of Rupprecht in this city learned through a German paper printed in Nebraska that man named Joseph Ruppert of Arnberg had been arrested for murder, and was to be ex- ecuted for the crime, they wrote to Ger many, and received a letter from the widow confirming the report. Rup- precht was in a wine shop last Febru- ary and got into an argument with Mumelgo. He left the place and went some distance to a lonely road that he knew Munelgo would pass, and lay in wait for him. Rupprecht jumped out on him and with @ blow of his fist felled him to the ground, where he was later found dead.
 Rupprecht lived in Merden for about fourteen years and was employed at the Edward Miller company factory For several years he resided at A Lima street, where he owned a house and lot. Last summer his father died and his mother wrote to him, asking him to return to Arnberg with his wife and children, to take care of the estate of his father, which consisted of a large farm. Rupprecht disposed of his prop erty and sailed from New York the lat ter part of August.
