THE ORCHARD SPRAYING.

There Is no single feature connected
with the care Of the orchard on which
more depends in the production or the
maximum amount and the best quality
of fruit than that Of the sprayings
which are given at intervals through
the spring and early summer season
The first treatment, which should be
given Just before the blossom buds
open, Is for keeping In check the scab
fungus, and FOR this the bordeaux
mixture only Is needed. The seconu
treatment should be given just as the
petals are falling, and 1t Is this treat
ment which Is especially effective or
should be In killing the little worms OF
the codling moth. 80 per cent OF whose
eggs are laid In the calyx cup at the
blossom end Of the apple. This cup
closes In about ten days, which makes
1t imperative that very thorough
treatment should be given within this
limit. so that small amount OF the
poison may be deposited In the cup OF
each apple. The bordeaux mixture
the lime copper sulphate mixture
may be used for this spraying II de-
sired, but the essential feature Is the
poison, which should he added In the
shape Of paris green, arsenite OF soda
or arsenate OF lead. The paris green Is

oughly with water SO as to make sure
that no humps Of dry powder 20 into
the tank. The arsenite OF soda Is made
by mixing white arsenic with sal soda
at the rate OF one pound OF the former
to four of the latter and boiling fifteen
minutes in a gallon OF water. keeping
the water up to this amount.
Two quarts Of this solution may be
used as a substitute for pound OF
paris green by adding four pounds or
fresh Stacked lime or by putting 1t In
the bordeaux mixture In which there
Is an excess Of lime. The arSenate OF
lead Is made by mixing lead acetate
with sodium arsenate at the rate Of
twenty-five ounces of the former to
eight ounces OF the latter. each being
dissolved separately, and then diluting
I'm 100 gallons of water. III used with
the bordeaux 1t should be poured into
the lime wash before this Is mixed
with the copper sulphate. The bor-
deaux mixture referred to IS made by
dissolving five pounds Of copper sui
phate In twenty-five gallons OF water
and then mixing this with twenty-five
gallons OF water IN which five pounds
Of freshly slaked lime have been dis
solved or stirred. For a 300 gallon
tank this recipe would nave to be
uuadrupled. But the proportion u
ingredients Is the main thing. what"
ever the quantity. The spraying solu-
ton should be strained ns ii Is poured
into the tank. thus preventing clog
ging Of the spraying nozzle. The spray
should be applied to the trees under
the heaviest pressure possible, so that
1t will be broken into very tine parti
cles and driven into the calyX cup OF
the apple. The contents of the tank
should be kept stirred, SO that the
poison will be kept thoroughly mixed.
A solution Of bordeaux mixture OF the
strength described Is suitable for all
fruits except peaches and Japanese
plums. In hich case II should be used
not more than half strength. For po-
tatoes 1t may be even stronger than
$3.50 proportion.

BOUNTY ON BADGERS.

The members Of the legislature 0f a
central western state have the past
month taken what they evidently
thought was Il patriotic action In plac-
ing n bounty on ground hogs But this
does not tally with the recent bulletin
issued by the department of agricul-
lure ut Washington which places the
badger In the list of friends Of the

a constant warfare on pophers and

KEEPING UP HIGHWAYS
Government Bureaus Sound Ad-
vice on Road Drainage.
REMOVE ALL WATER QUICKLY.

That on Surface and Underground as
WeIi-center Of Highway Should Be
Raised-Size of Tiles and Laying
Thorn Matters Of Importance.
The United States office of public
roads In Washington sent out the fol-
lowing bulletin regarding the proper
manner Of road drainage:
With an average of $1,000 tons OF
water falling In the form of rain on
each mile of public road in the United
States annually. it is scarcely to be
marveled at that the ten command
ments of the road builder can be sum-
med up succinctly in the word drain
age" The saying has truth for
basis as good drainage is the primary
requisite for all roads. Even in sand
roads this holds true. for there good
drainage means such as will safely
remove the storm water without ero-
sion or outlying and still retain the
surface moisture.
To obtain good drainage one must
take into consideration both the sur
face water and the underground wa
ter. The surface water must be re-
moved quickly and completely ana
without subjecting the road to excess
i've scour or erosion. For this reason
the center of the road should be raised,
and the slope toward the side bitches
should be from one-half to one Inch
to each foot distance, or so that the
water will run freely to the side
bitches and not flow down the road or
remain in puddles on the roadway.
The side bitches should be Of ample
size to care for the severeSt storms,
with fall Of not less than six inches
to each hundred feet. Frequent. am
Die cross drains should be constructed
and every opportunity taken to get the
water away from the road as quickly
MS possible. Any road along which you
see water standing in the side bitches
or on which puddles Of water have
collected or which has been badly gull
lied and eroded by the rains has poor
drainage and is in need Of immediate
attention. In fact, earth roads nearly
always require little attention after
each rain.
The split log drag is essentially
tool to maintain good drainage on our

A TUeERcULlN DEMONSTRATION

With view to posting the dairy
men Of his state on a very important
subject. the state veterinarian OF the
Maryland Agricultural college lately
gave public demonstration for the
detection of tuberculosis as applied to
cattle. The demonstration was given
Il thorough advertising, so that those
who wished to attend could make
plans to do 81. The temperature Of
the cows WAS taken ut 8 IL. ~. and ut
p. IN. the injection Of tuberrulin
was made. the temperature being tax
Ell at intervals thereafter for the next
twenty-four hours. The demonstra-
ton was Civ en for the purpose Of ac-
quainting the dairymen of the state
with the methods of the test. against
which so strong prejudice exists,
and the eyes Of many who attended
were opened as n result. In larger
states the same type of demonstration
might with profit be given nj several
conveniently located points over the
state. This anti-tuberculosiS doctrine
needs preaching extensively In every
section where dairying Is carried on.
