"A NEW ARsENIcAL SPRAY.

In view of the fear which is felt BY
some orchardists as to the effects on
their fruit trees resulting from a con-
tinued use Of arsenate Of lead as al
insecticide in their spraying opera
tons from an accumulation Of arsenic
In the soil and because of the fear
felt in some other quarters as to the
effect on the public health Of an ex-
tensive spraying of trees and fruit
with arsenic lead compounds, keen
interest will be felt in the work of
two French scientists, Vermorel and
Dantony, who, with q view to over
coming the dangers referred to. have
conducted extensive experiments the
past three years i'm the use of ferrous
arsenate as a substitute for arsenate
Of lead and with remarkable degree
Of success. The solution which they
have used is made as follows: Twenty
ounces of arsenate of soda are dis
solved in five gallons Of water, max
ing solution A. Twenty ounces of
iron sulphate are also dissolved in five
gallons of water, making solution B.
Solution Id is poured into solution A
gradually. with continued stirring.
Toward the end of the operation the
SUM ferrocyanide test paper, and when
this turns blue no more Of solution B
should be poured in, as it is important
not to have too great an excess of the
iron sulphate. The combination should
then be diluted to fifty gallons. Be-
sides ten ounces Of ferrous arsenate,
1t viii contain also some suiphate Of
soda and ferrous hydrate. When in
contact with the air the ferrous arse
nate turns greenish. while in con-
tact with the air the ferrous hydrate
turns to ferric hydrate, which is the
best antidOte against arsenical poison
ing The general color of the spra7
is dirty rrCen and cannot be mis-
taken for any other product. The eE-
perimenter& found the spray very al
hesive; that when used twice rs
strong as the above prescription thee
was no burning of the foliage, Will
at half strength it had an effect as -,
insecticide equal to the usual formula
of arsenate of lead. Moreover, the
foliage Of trees sprayed with the fer
rous arsenate looked healthier and Of
a darker green than those treated
with other sprays. Besides the advan-
tages mentiCned-adhesi insecti-
eide value, freedom from burning. a
characteristic color and the presence
OF an antidote with the poison-would
be the cheapness of the product, ow-
ing to the low cost Of sulphate of
iron as compared with acetate of lead

Rapid Work On the Canal.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Signs or the
approaching completion OF the Panama
Canal are manifested i'm the summary
of the work done on that great project
last year.
The canal record, just received,
shows that during the year more than
100000 cubic yards of material
were removed, but this was 100000
yards less than the record OF 1908. a
reason for this decrease il found in
the fact that the field of operations in
dry excavation has been narrowed by
the completion OF the work in certain
sections, while in the wet excavations
the work has become more difficult
owing TO the depth obtained by the
dredges.
Meanwhile great progress Is being
made i'm the construction OF the enor-
nous locks at Gatun, where 1000 yds.
Of concrete were placed In a single
day.

Often the stand still condition Of the
house fern Or palm is due to the roots
having completely occupied all of the
available space in the pot. In such
case the plant should be removed from
the pot, placed in larger receptacle
and new soil added, with such fer
tilizer as the particular plant may
need. Where the plant looks rather
tough It Is sometimes advisable to cut
the leaves or body back rather sharp
ly, thus inducing a rapid growth Of
new stuff.
