Possibilities of Orchard Fumiga-
tiOn
ton.

The Rural Californian is still advo-
eating fumigation instead of spraying
for the subjuga ton insect pests. The
arguments that are advanced are very
strong. The only serious objection to
this method is the great expense of
the apparatus needed for fumigat ting
large trees. A few owners of large
groves could buy all that was wanted
but most orange growers would find
the cost beyond their means. This
could be easily remeded by some one
who has the capital, buying an out
fit and then going from grove to grove
fumigating the trees at so much per
tree, much in the same way that
threshing and cornshelling is done for
Western farmers.
The Rural Californian says:
Never since that memorable Occa-
sion on which Alex. Craw and Prof

worked as a hired man, and who taught
us to make butter and cheese. We we'll
remember one of the pungent phrases
he used about hired man with whom
he had been very much dissatisfied.
Gle comes to his work wrong end
first" he said ''How should he
Gomez" we asked. "Head first" was
the terse answer.
And then he added, Don't work
without thinking about your work, and
think hard" To help himself and his
hired men to think, he kept three pa
pers on his table, Moore's Rural New
Yorker, The Country Gentleman, and
The New York Tribune A full hours
incoming was given each day, and he
encouraged the boys to spend the time
in reading these papers. In the weekly
Tribune were reported the discussions
Of the New York Farmers club with
Scion Robinson as president and lead
er. He used to frequently say that he
would not give much for farmer or
hired man who had so little interest in
his work that he did not care to read
about it, "Such man." he would re-
mark, comes to his work wrong end
first
In the 80 years that have since sped
into eternity, we have thought many
times of our old farmer friend and en-
ployer, and the deep wisdom of his
thought. How many farmers and
hired men have we seen who have prac-
tically wasted their lives in unthink-
ing labor. The head must precede the
hands. Every particle of wasted fer
tility is due to lack of thought work
ing the soil without knowing what we
are about. Every poor COW that is
kept without profit tells of her owners
lack Of thinking. Good thinking by a
we'll informed mind would soon stop
such waste. And so the farmer wastes
his labor and capital, and the hired man
his time, because they come to their
work wrong end first

COQuHleC demonstrated TO the Gurus
growers of California that a practical
means had been discovered of keeping
their trees clean of insect pests, has SO
much interest been displayed in the
effects of hydrocyanic acid gas as that
aroused by the remarkable results
obtained on an extensive scale during
the past season. No one thing has
done more to develop the possibilities
Of orchard fumigatiOn than the at
tempt to replace this safe and efficient
method by the use of distillate washes.
This competition soon Weeded out the
it possible for that method to gain a
ance and Indifferent work had made
itpOssible for that method to gain a
foothold; and fortunately for the con-
tinued success of the citrus industry
it also developed a class of experts in
the use of cyanide under whose skilful
management the process has more
than justified every claim made for it.
1t has been found that properly
manipulated the old dosage may be
Quadrupled and used with perfect
safety to tree and fruit, and that with
such dosage the terrible purple scale
can he eradicated in a single treat
ment. The claim that this could be
done, and the attempt made to do it,

treated trees on the part of the own
erS, contractors and others concerned,
that the statement often made by the
advOca ties Of fumga ton that the gas
had a stimulating effect upon the en-
tire system of the tree causing a
greater proportion of the Blossoms
to set fruit and a greater part of the
fruit to reach perfect maturity is now
admitted to be true.
With this object lesson before them
no wonder the growers are enthusiasts
tic in their praises of fumigation. In
place Of depleted foliage they find the
increased crop of fruit upon the treat
ed trees so marked as to attract the
attention of all who visit the orchards,
and what is more to the point suffi-
cient in most instances to pay the cost
Of treatment So thoroughly convinc-
ed are many growers of this salutary
effect of the gas upon the trees that
they have expressed their intentions
of fumigating regularly each year for
this express purpose, without any
reference to the presence of insect
pests in orchards whatever

''The essentials for fumigating
nursery stock with hydrocyanic acid
gas are: O Chemicals, (2) suitable
vessel in which to mix them, and (3)
an air-tight box or chamber to hold
the stock while it is being treated.
The chemicals that are needed are:
CD Fused syanide of potassium, (2)
sulphuric acid, and 60 water. The
cyanide should be guaranteed $500
per cent, while the best grade of sui
phuric acid, having a specific gravity
of at least 1888 should be used. These
chemicals may be purchased from To-
cal druggists or from wholesale deal
ers in druggists supplies. In handling
the chemicals care should be eXercis-
ed not to spill the acid upon the cloth
ing or the person. The cyanide is a
deadly poison, and should be carefully
labeled and stored when not in use in
a safe place to prevent accidents.
''The following formula is recon-
mended for use in fumigating clean,
well-matured dormant stock. For
each 100 cubic feet Of space in the
room use: Potassium cyanide, one
ounce; sulphuric acid, two ounces;
water, four ounces. For combining
the chemicals one should use earthen-
ware dishes or jars of about one gal
lon capacity. There should be one
vessel for each pound of cyanide. If
more than one jar lis used distribute
them at even intervals in the room.
Place in each jar the required amount
of water, and then gently pour in the
acid When the nursery stock is in
place and everything is ready for the
final opera ton, drop in the cynide
which is contained in paper bag.
For the safety Of the operator, each
bag should be suspended by a string
over the jar containing the liquids.
The main supporting string may be
operated from the outer door, so that
all the bags may be lowered at the
same time in their respective vessels.
The door should then be closed dis
playing a danger card. After 30 or 40
minutes of Immigration all doors and
windows should be opened and the
