How to Know the Scale.

you can, especially if they look a bit

What Shall We Do with Its
Spraying in late winter or early
spring before the buds open is the ac-
cepted remedy. Various solutions are
used, but the boiled lime, salt and sui

Owing to the trouble of preparing

station devised self boiling mixture
that has met with much favor. The
formula is as follows: Lime, 80 pounds;
sulphur, 10 pounds; caustic' soda, 6
pounds; water, 80 gallons.
The sulphur is made into a thin
paste with boiling water and poured
over and well distributed through the
lime. Additional water is used as need
ed to keep the lime-sulphur material in
a rather stiff paste. AS soon as the
lime is slaked the full amount of caus-
tic soda is added and stirred until boil
ing ceases. Enough water is then
poured in to make fifty gallons of the.

The Creamery For Ice Cream.

The creamery industry in Maryland
Is In some respects quite different from
that found in the west, inasmuch as
most of those in this state do not con-
fine themselves to the making Of but
ter, but make butter only as means
of utilizing surplus and sell most Of
their products as cream or ice cream.
The selling Of the products Of cream
cries for cream and ice cream rather
than the making of it into butter has
enabled the farmer to realize better
prices than would be obtained other
wise. Some creameries of the state
that have made all Of their products
into butter have been run quite sue
cessfully, While many have been a dis
appointment to the farmers and could
not hold their patronage because of the
low prices paid for mike. 7. Doane
