But there is neither East nor West,

Advantages of IncubatOrs.

Among the numerous advantages of
the incubator over the hen may be
mentioned the following: The incuba-
tor is always ready for business, while
hen only sits when she feels like it.
It is less work to care for an incubator
than for sufficient number of hens to
hatch the same number of chickens.
The greater the egg capacity used the
more time is saved over that required
for the care of the hens. The chickens
are so much more uniform in size and
age that they are more easily cared
for, more cheaply fed and present a
much more attractive appearance when
fitted for the market. Again, chickens
hatched in incubators are always free
from lice and generally remain so till
they are large enough not to be much
injured by them, thing that can rare
ly be said of hen hatched chickens.
Equally as much can be said of a
brooder. 1t is always ready to receive
the chicks, and you do not have to hunt
1t up at night for fear it might rain
and the chicks get chilled. 1t is always
dry and comfortable at any time of the
Year.-Prairie Farmer.

LIME, SALT AND SULPHUR.
The Pacific Coast Spray Proves Satis-
factory In the East.

The Pacific Coast Spray Proves Salts.
factory In the East.
Interest in the lime, salt and sulphur
spray Of the Pacific coast as a remedy
for San Jose scale in the east began
to be general last season, and the ex-
periments made in various states at
that time have placed it on the footing
Of an efficient remedy for the eastern
states. Entomologists Parrot and
Houser of the Ohio state station says
that the lime-sulphur-salt wash has
proved to be we'll adapted to the needs
Of many orchardists in Ohio and will
occupy an important place in spraying
operations in the future. The exten-
sive tests that have been made by
practical men have demonstrated that
the Hme-sulphur-salt wash, at the
strength usually recommended, not
only efficiently controls the San Jose
scale, but is besides Of much value
in holding in check the peach leaf curl.
The results secured by the tests were
so highly satisfactory that even the
most skeptical were convinced of the
efficient qualities Of this wash for the
spring treatment of these two destruc-
tive pests of the peach orchard. AS a
consequence many more orchardists
are going to use the wash this spring.
The formula that has given most
general satisfaction in the preparation
Of the wash is as follows: Lump lime,
SO pounds; salt, 80 pounds; sulphur, SO
pounds; water, $50 gallons.
Place the full amount of lime in the
kettle or vat, or whatever the re-
ceptacle may be, and start it to
slake will, hot water, using enough to-
prevent the lime from being air slaked,
but not enough to drown it. During
the shaking process add the sulphur,
all Jumps having been first pulverized,
and the salt. Stir both of them in thor
oughly and add water gradually to re-
duce the mixture to a thin paste. If
the mixture is not already boiling,
bring it to this point and allow it to
boil for one hour
II the wash is prepared in an iron
kettle it will be necessary to add
bucket of water now and then to re-
place that lost in the boiling process
and to stir the mixture frequently to
prevent burning and caking of mate
tials upon the sides of the vessel.
After one hours boiling enough hot
water should be added to make the re-
quired amount of mixture, or if cold
water is used the proper proportion
should be added and the wash again
brought to the boiling point. The wash
is now ready for use. 1t should then
be emptied into the spraying barrel, be-
ing strained through common wire
screening, and if possible applied while
hot to the tree
