SPRAY AND SPRAYING TALK
BEFORE MILFORD GRANGE.

The discussion on "Sprays and Spray
ing" the regular topic at the Grange
last Saturday, was opened by John w.
Short. The talk was confined to the
making and use Of Bordeaux mixture.
The farmer no longer has any choice
in the matter, it is spray or stop raising
pears and apples. Spraying is as inn
portant to fruit growing as cultivation
is to other crops. The best sorts Of APP
pies have no commercial value if they
are knOtty and wormy.
Mr.. Short began spraying his apple
trees four years ago. The improvement
in quality of the fruit was marked from
the first and last year 90 per cent Of the
fruit was perfect. He gives from three
to five sprayings. The first just before
the buds open the second, after the
blossoms fall. After the first using
Paris green with the Bordeaux. Some
use arsenate Of lead which stays on
better than Paris green but costs three
or four times as mach. The third spray
ing ten days to two weeks later and the
fourth two weeks after the third. In
August he sprays any apples subject to
bitter rot.
To make Bordeaux he dissolves forty
pounds Of sulphate of copper in forty
gallons OF water. Put the sulphate in
a burlap bag and suspend in the barrel
so the bottom just touches the water.
Put forty pounds of lime in like quan-
tity Of water. Take four gallons of this
stock solution Of sulphaGe Of copper and
add to one half barrel of wafer and four
gallons Of the lime stock in another
half barrel of water. Put this lime
water into a third barrel and pour into
1.-THE half barrel Of the copper sulphate,
mixing thoroughly. When Paris green
is to be added use one half pound, maxi
ing il into a paste, then dilute and add
to the barrel Of spray mixture. 1t does
not dissolve but is mixed by thorough
agitation.
After making the Bordeaux test it by
a few drops sOfferrocyanideo Of potassium
If the drops turn dark on
the spray mixture it needs
more lime and the lime stock should
be added until the drops are colorless
when they strike the Bordeaux.
If arsenate of lead is used instead Of
Paris green from two to three pounds
should be added to the fifty gallons Of
ipray mixture. Some claim that less
ulphate Of copper can be used with
,qual effect but that is an open ques-
ion. The late sprayings should not use
he mixture full strength as there is
langer Of rusting the fruit.
"Chickens for the Farmer" will be

Stone the Road and Fix it Right.

The road leading north from Milford
to the Tub Mill should be covered with
crushed stone, and so badly is this
needed, that the Taxpayers would be
willing to vote sufficient funds to do the
work. The State would furnish half
the money. 1t would make a splendid
piece of road with about four inches of
stone spread over it to the width Of
twelve feet. 1t is true that it would
cost some money, but it will pay in the
long run, and it would be an object les
son at the same time.

Miss Rice was an attractive girl and
remarkably fine horsewoman. 1t
