The skins of fruit should never be
eaten. not because they are not pala-
table or digestible or are unhealthy in
themselves. but on account of the dam
ger arising from microbes which have
penetrated into the covering Of the
fruit. Everybody has noticed that Mt
times a slight scratch will create
considerable sore on the human body.
1t is generally ascribed to an unhealthy
condition of the blood. but n close mi
croscopical examination will show that
1t Is due to the presence of microbes
thus introduced into the system. So
with an apple. n peach. pear or a
grape. The fruit may be perfectly
sound and healthy. but on the skin or
covering may be microbes which. in
PRODUCED into the human system. will
breed disease. These germs are not
uncommon: neither are they always
present. II is possible to eat this COW
ering without injury. but the danger
Is such that 1t is best not to incur the
risk.

stated definitely. It is impossible
to make a definite statement, as the
strength of the various commercial
sodas varies greatly.
The following table, however,
gives the amount of copper sulphate
required for a single can of several
of the more common sodas. In the
last column is found that amount
of mixture which a/can will make.
For example, if you choose to use
the Champion soda, a can of which
weighs 1878 ounces, you should use
1.6 pound of coppers sulphate to
each can of soda. One can of soda
contains twelve ounces of substance.
and the 10 pounds of copper sui
phate, together with the one can of
Champion soda, will make thirteen
gallons of soda bordeaux.
In a similar way, by consulting the
table, you may discern how much
copper sulphate to use per car with
any of these brands and how much
mixture it will make.

terror learns that he has triumphed
in his efforts to put a stop to the
American Tobacco Companv's pro-
tested methods of doing business in
Canada. Mr.. Brodeur last week not
flied the company that its system of
requiring Canadian dealers to enter
into contract to handle its goods
exclusively must cease or he would
be compelled to cancel the company's
license.
The company has now informed
the minister that it will do as he
wishes. The Canadian manufacture
ers assert that they are thus relieved
from unfair competition.

Dissolve the ~caustic soda in water;
dissolve the copper 'sulphate also in
water in another vessel, and dilute
each to the proper amount, i. e., to
half the volume of the completed
mixture, precisely as you do in the
making of the ordinary bordeaux.
If put together in the above pro-
portions, The mixture will be aka
line If too little soda is used the
mixture will be acid, and is then IL
able to iniure the leaves.
In order hat the mixture may be
easily seen on the trees, and thus
enable the operator to know when
the tree has been completely spray
ed, some people prefer to add a very
small quantity of lime, say one-half
pound to every fifty gallons of mix
ture. This will be sufficient to make
a visible deposit on the trunk and
foliage of the tree. and enable one
to distinguish easily the SPRAYED
from the unsprayed portions.
The strength, as given above, is
really the same as the $3.50
bordeaux mixture. Ii you prefer to
use M comparable to the 1850,
increase the amount of water by 25
per cent.

FUNGIcIDES AND SPRAYING.
III. Soda or Potash Bordeaux Mixture.
Editors Progressive Farmer

N0ASOAs HOSNCScANC III
While the bordeaux mixture is emf
nently successful In preventing many
plant diseases, slight difficulty is
sometimes encountered owing to the
occurrence of small stones, resulting
from imperfections in the lime.
These, if not thoroughly strained
out, clog the spraying nozzle and are
troublesome. To escape this difficult
ty, and to render the preparation and
application of the bordeaux mixture
easier. the use of potash or soda as
substitutes for the lime has been
recommended. AS early as 1891 Pro-
lessor Atwood recommended such a
mixture, and of recent years such
preparations are coming into great
er and greater favor. The final re-
suit is essentially the same as the
bordeaux mixture prepared III the Or
binary way. Copper sulphate or
bluestone is brought in proper pro-
portions to combine with the aka
line soda or potash.
The efficiency of this mixture
seems to be fully as great as that
of the ordinary bordeaux, and to
MANY its merit of convenience will
appeal. The mixture, whether made
with the soda or potash, is essenti-
ally the same. As yet, no virtue
possessed by the one is found lack
ing in the other. As the soda
bordeaux seems to meet all the re-
ouirements, and can be made with
greater ease, the directions for max
ing this will be given. The potash
bordeaux will be omitted.

The Crop Outlook.

Notwithstanding favorable re-
ports coming from other sources,
the government continues to take a
rather gloomy view Of the crop out
look in Mississippi, and the weekly
report just issued is Of very pes
simistic. nature. The report states
that cotton is shedding badly in the
northern part of the State, boil
worms are getting in destructive
work in Kinds and Rankin counties
The government admits, however,
that the prospect is about as good as
it was last year, although much be-
low what it was a month ago. The
latter statement is doubtless correct,
but there are good reasons to dispute
the reliability of the former asser-
tion, and if an average price of from
8 to 9 cents is received for the crop
the farmers will make large profit
on the season. The corn crop is
generally excellent throughout the
State. and the farmers who are com.
PEELED to buy this product for theil
stock before the next crop is gath
cred will be exceedingly few ii
number.

has cut the Gate ON the shell. and the
entries are as follows: 1874, 1915, 1879
