Is any question as to the purity Of
the lime, or If safeguard against
mistakes is desired, when all of the
copper sulfate solution and about
two thirds of the lime milk have
been com bined the mixture should
be tested for excess copper by tho
addition Of a few drops Of potassium
ferrocyanide solution. If there Is an
excess Of copper sulfate present
conspicuous brown precipitate will be
formed. The absence Of this indicates
that the amount Of lime already ad-
ded has been sufficient to combine
with all Of the copper sulfate. The
remainder of the lime solution should
now be added as further safeguard.
The above directions may, of course.
be variously modified to suit condi-
tons. but the copper sulfate should
always be made very dilute before
the addition Of the lime.
1t has been customary to advise
that Bordeaux should never be used
after standing over night, since when
the precipitate has once thoroughly
settled it can never be got into as
excellent a state Of fineness again.
LIME SULFUR.
The Importance of lime-sulfur as
an insecticide and its growing favor
as a fungicide have caused consid-
cradle attention to be given to it's
preparation in recent years. The fol-
lowing IS a very satisfactory formula:
so pounds best stone lime. 100 pounds
sulfur water enough to make so gal
Ions of solution at finish. The guam
titles may be proportionately reduced
as desired.
Place the fresh stone lime in the
kettle or other vessel to be used and
Stake slowly. Put in the sulfur, mix
ing it thoroly with the slaked or
shaking lime, adding enough water
to maintain thin paste. Any Jumps
Of sulfur or lime should be thoroly
broken up. When shaking and mix
ing are completed the solution may
be diluted to so gallons. Boil for
about one hour, with occasional stir
ring. If the boiling has been sufl-
cient, the sulfur will have entirely
gone into solution, having combined
with the lime to form a clear reddish
yellow compound. Enough water
