A rusERcuLlN DEMONSTRATION.

With view TO posting the dairy.
men Of his state on a very important
subject, the state veterinarian OF the
Maryland Agricultural college lntely
gave public demonstration for the
detection of tuberculosis ae applied to
cattle. The demonstration was given
a thorough advertising. so that those
who wished to attend could make
plans to do SO The temperature OF
the cows was taken Mt a. M, and at
p. NJ. the injection OF tuberculln
was made, the temperature being taxi
en- at intervals thereafter for the next
twenty-four hours. The demonstra-
ton was given for the purpose Of ac-
quainting the dalrymen 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 result. In larger
states the same type of demonstration
might with profit be given at several
conveniently located points over the
state, This anti-tuberculosis doctrine
needs preaching extensively In every
section where dairying is carried on.

Tnerc Is no single feature connected
with the care of the orchard on which
more depends in the production of the
maximum amount and the best quality
of fruit than that Of the sprayings
which are given at intervals through
the spring and early simmer 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 second
treatment should be given just as the
petals are falling, and It 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 a 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 be added IN the
shape of paris green. arsenite Of soda
or arsenate Of lead. The paris green Is
ready for use by simply mixing thor
oughly with water so as to make sure
that no Jumps 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 gallon OF water. keeping
the water up to this amount.
Two quarts OF this solution may be
used as a substitute for n pound Of
paris green by adding four pounds Of
fresh Stacked lime or by putting Il I'm

is an excess Of lime The arsenate OF

eight ounces OF the latter, each being
dissolved separately, and then diluting

the lime wash before this is mixed
with the copper sulphate The bor-
deaux mixture referred to IA 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 200 gallon
tank this recipe would hhye to bs
quadrupled. But the proportion Of
ingredients Is the main thing. what.
ever the quantity. The spraying solu-
tion should be strained as Il 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

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 which case It should be used
not more than half strength. For po-
tatoes 1t may be even stronger than

constant warfare on gophers and
