necessary because this spray kills by
contact only, and any living scales
not thus covered will serve to pro-
pagate the species.
Where only two or three trees are
concerned, they could be coated with
lime-sulphur by means of a white
wash brush. When from % to 100
are to be sprayed, barrel sprayer
should be used, or when several hun
dren trees are concerned, a gasoline
sprayer should be employed. Com
mercial lime-sulphur, testing SO de-
grees, Beaume, has merely to be
mixed with water at the rate of one
part of the lime-sulphur solution to
eight or 9 parts of water and is ready
to apply. This has proved very salts
factory spray for scale in all parts OF
the United States and has proved
eminently satisfactory in our work
against the scale in Kansas. Lime
sulphur has the further advantage Of
destroying Injurious fungi that may
be wintering on the bark Of the trees.
In actual spraying operations where
treatments are made at cost, on
small paintings, we have had to
charge from ten to fifteen cents each
to cover cost of labor and materials.
Very satisfactory Iime-sulphur can
be made at home, but the process re-
quires time. Suspend a % or 80
gallon iron kettle over a fire, as If
preparing to make soap. Do not use
a copper kettle, because the lime
sulphur will corrode it. Lay the fire
beneath the kettle. Place about three
gallons of water in the kettle, put Is
to 20 pounds of good stone lime into
it, and slack it, adding water as re-
Quired. When the lime has broken
down, forming a pasty mass, and is
still heating vigorously, sift Is pounds
of finely ground sulphur into the ket-
tie, stirring the shaking lime steadily.
Continue to heat and stir the mass,
gradually adding water until the ket-
tie is we'll filed. Boil the lime
sulphur from forty-five minutes to an
hour or until the liquid takes on a
dark red color. Wherever the liquor
! can be seen at this time. it should be
of a deep cherry red color. The ap-
pearance of this color shows that the
maximum strength of the mixture has
been reached. 1t should then be
strained into a spray barrel, the
whole mixture raised to fifty gallons
| by the addition of water, and should
! be applied at once. This is a cheap
spray from the standpoint of ma
teriaIs and a very effective one from
| the standpoint of killing the scale.
Whether commercial or homemade
lime-sulphur is used, it is absolutely
essential that the work be so thor
| oughly done that all parts OF the in
tested plants will be completely
coated with the mixture. One good
! spraying of this type every year
should keep the scale under control.

SOME GOOD METHODS OF PRESERVING EGGS

Certain becteria which spoil eggs
cannot live if you exclude the air.
Therefore, seal up the pores of fresh
eggs and you prevent decomposition.

like brine, which is often used for the
same purpose. water-glass does not
penetrate the pores OF the shell and
faint the contents. Bad results which
some people have experienced with
this method generally are due to the
fact that the eggs were not strictly
fresh when put in the preservative.

0F ALL the parasites the fruit
& grower has to meet, the San
Jose scale is at once the hard
est to detect and one OF the most diff
cult to control. Investigations and
experiments show it to have been
present in seventeen of the 105 coun-
ties of Kansas and it might be found
anywhere in the state. The grower
should look carefully into his orchard
and other fruit paintings to see
whether it is present. 1t is especially
fond of peach and if present at all, is
likely to be found on it.
The San Jose scale is a creature OF
curious habits. At this time of year,
the living scales are in the black, half
grown stage, lying dormant on the
bark, but if only slightly infested
ton is old, are the dead scales Of
various ages.
If trees or shrubs are badly in
tested, they are easily distinguished
by the roughened. grayish look of the
bark, but if only slightly infested
there will be only a few scales here
and there, and they will be difficult to
find. If any dull black circular scales,

use sufficient care in handling eggs
for preservation in water-glass Many
eggs that might have been saved for
consumption. if they had followed the
regular channels of the trade, are

Other, less practical methods OF
preserving eggs are in6ltration Of the
shell with parafine, borated vaseline,

With all these methods, the eggs
must be clean and newly laid. Old
eggs frequently contain bacteria that
