multiply. A grower who understands
why he sprays, will not observe any
arbitrary two weeks rule when such
a spell of weather strikes his vicinity,
but will more likely spray twice
week, for it is on the work done at
such times that the salvation OF the
crop depends. If heavy rains wash
off the protective covering it should
be renewed as soon as possible.
Thorough work, the complete cover
ing of the foliage, is the only safe
guard.
The common formula for dilute BOr-
deauX mixture is right for spraying
potatoes. This is six pounds of sui
phate of copper, four pounds fresh
stone lime and fifty gallons of water.
Slack the lime in just enough water
to keep it moist, not to flood it, and
then add half the water required.
Dissolve the copper sulphate in the rest
of the water and pour it into the lime
water, stirring vigorously. A better
plan is to have three persons and three
vessels occupied in the mixing. Let
one person do the stirring while the
others pour the lime and copper solu-
ton into the third vessel at the same
time.
When potato bugs are troublesome,
add to the quantity of Bordeaux used
on one acre, one pound of Paris green.
The Bordeaux itself is a good remedy

test your eggs in a closet or dark room
by the aid of lamp. Place three eggs
in the tester and look through them

spots in them they are unfit for use.
Keep eggs in a cool, dry place and
they will stay fresh much longer.

To Boil Eggs.-Place a small sauce

come to the boiling point, then drop in
the eggs; set the pan where it will not
