SPRAY.

For forty years the United
States Government has been us
ing on all it's forts and light
houses, whitewash prepared ac-
cording to the following formu-
la. 1t is claimed that, made in
this way, the wash will stick
better and retain its brilliancy
longer than any other, and that
it is not easily affected by rain
or weather. Of course it is
necessary to strain the material
carefully before applying
through a pump, else more or
less trouble will result from
the clogging of the nozzle, but
with ordinary care at the start,
no inconvenience will be exper-
fenced.
Half a bushel of unslacked
lime, slack with warm water,
cover it during the process to
keep in the steam; strain the
liquid through a fine sieve or
strainer; add d peclS~of sast pre-
viously well dissolved in warm
water, three pounds of ground
rice boiled to a thin paste and
stirred in boiling hot; half
pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and a pound of glue
which has been previously dis
solved over a slow fire, and add
five gallons hot water to the
mixture, stir well and let stand
for few days, covered from
the dirt. Strain carefully and
apply with spray pump. Il
should be put on hot. There is
nothing that can compare with
it for outside or inside work
and it retains its brilliancy fol
many years. Coloring matter
may be put in and made of any
shade, Spanish brown, yellow
|.ochre of common clay.

LONG ROOTS.

Planters used to condemn
plants, vines or trees that did
not have long roots. Now we
have learned there is no neces-
sity for long roots, and many
planters consider long roots a
disadvantage. 1t is my opinion
that the roots of trees are in
most instances shortened
enough in the digging process
and that all the shortening that
need be done them is to cut off
the bruised ends with a sharp
knife so that they may heal
more readily. But grape vines
and strawberry plants often
have excessively long roots,
therefore | advise that the roots
of both grape and strawberry
be reduced to one-half their or
binary length at planting. The
old roots are helpful mainly so
far as they hold the plant, vine
/ or tree in the soil permanently
until new roots can be formed.
Therefore the strawberry plant
or the grape vine with excess
sively long roots is encountered
by these long roots rather than
assisted.

STRAWBERRIES.

On one acre of rich, well
cultivated land, there may be
grown $500 worth of berries.
Every enterprising farmer,
with a little effort, has within
his reach a continuous supply
of healthful fruits. On every
farm large, luscious berries
may be grown at the rate of
200 bushels per acre. If less is
produced, we may look for the
season from one or more of the
following causes and briefly
suggest a remedy:
l. Land deficient in fertilizer
or plant food. Apply fine COM
posted manure, plow under and
top dress. Also ashes broad
cast.
2. Improper preparation of
soil. Plow deeply and harrow
until fine, light and mellow.
Extra preparation makes plant
food more available.
B. Varieties not adapted to
your soil and climate. Use only
such as have been well tested in
your locality, or recommended
by responsible parties.
4. Poor plants. Buy only
best hardy vigorous plants
from responsible growers.
Never set poor plants.
5. Careless setting of plants.
Never expose plants to sun and
wind before setting. Have
roots well spread and fine dirt
firm about them.
6. Too many plants in hill
or row. Preserve only strong
vigorous plants, give each room
to develop and perfect it's fruit.
Prune severely.
lei :fpgmaoootg.T pof- enw an .,
7. Imperfect fertilization.
There is sex in plants. Pisti-
lates (female) must have STAN
mates set with them to insure
good crops.
8. Neglect in cultivation. The
ground at all times should be
fine, mellow and free from
weeds.
8. No protection. Mulch in
summer with course manure,
grass or green clover, in winter
by suitable protection against
cold.
10. Frost and drouth. The
most difficult to overcome. Ber-
ny fields well cultivated are sew
eral degrees warmer than I'M
I cultivated fields, therefore less
liable to damage by frost. Re-
tain mulching as late as posi-
bic on strawberries in spring.
Damage by ordinary drouths
may be prevented by summer
mulch and frequent cultivation.
Severe drouth requires almost
constant cultivation and heavy
mulching.
