Of Interest to Farmers.

Several bulletins have recently beer
Issued by the Experiment Station and
will be distributed free of cost to al
farmers in tho State who apply fol
| them. One of these bulletins deal.
with 1.-The Composition of Cider al
Determined by Fermentation with
Pure Yeast" The report shows that
~ the use of pure cultures of yeast the
manufacture of cider can be controlled
I'D uniform product obtained.
Another publication deals with ZAP
pie Production in Virginia. The cen.
ter of the apple industry is in the Val.
ley, next comes Piedmont and then
middle Virginia. The smallest nun
bar of apples are naturally produced
in the tidewater region. The report
shows that the apple crop of 1868
amounted to 327, 4SS barrels, of which
the valley furnished 2O0.597 barrels.
The third publication treats of ''Ex-
periments with Caustic Soda and Some
Patent Washes Against the San Jose
Scale" This is very important pub
licatiOn because it shows how the most
dreaded pest of the Orchardist may be
successfully held in check. 1t is inter-
estiDg to know that the lime-sulphur
W ash proved more effective than any
OF the sO-called patent washes, and it
Can be manufactured at home at a
much smaller cost than any of the 9TH
ers.
The fourth publication treats of
spraying with kerosene emulsion for
the destruction of the Horn Fly. At
certain seasons of the year these pests
come in very large mbers, and prove
most annoying to beef and dairy cat
tie. The method outlined in the bull
letin for the destruction of the horn fly
is comparatively simple and easy of
adoption on stock farms, and it proved
very effective in experiments made last
at the station.
