An old Irishman who had made q
good deal of money, but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or

a month on II spree. and then come
back home and beat up his family and

who had stood him for many years,
was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him n ine funeral. They had
plenty OF money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved In woe. She cried and
cried all through the services. paying
scant heed to what was going on un.

Spraying for Plant Diseases
Bordeaux Mixture Used Most--How to Make
BY Professor w. n. Chandler, College
Of Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.

Now, suppose We want to make up
100 gallons Of Bordeaux mixture
4.4:5O We would want eight pounds
OF sulphatc of copper and eight pounds
Of lime in 100 gallons of water. We
should dip from the barrel containing
the solution OF sulphate of copper,
cight gallons, and put Il into the dilut-
inE barrel for sulphate ~ copper. We
should then FIJI that barrel up to fifty
gallons. Then dip from the lime stock
solution barrel, eight gallons, pouring
II into the lime solution barrel and
filling it up TO fifty gallons of water.
Then we should run the two solutions
together into either mixing tank or
the spray tank. This having the cop
per and lime diluted before they are
run together. is important ii we are TO
get n spray that will stick well to the
leaves and give us the best results
possible in other ways.
II We want to make Bordeaux mix
ture OF the 2:a'50 strength we should
dip four gallons from the stock sui
phate of copper barrel instead of eight
gallons and six gallons from the lime
stock barrel instead OF eight gallons.
If we are making only fifty gallons
of bordeaux miXtue-4:4:50, We
would simply have to reduce all Of the
figures one. half Thus, say We dip
from the stock solution barrel Of sui
phate of copper into sulphate Of cop
per dilution barrel. four gallons, FIJI
the barrel up to twenty-five gallons,
and the same with the lime, and run
together into our spray tank.
Smaller quantities may be made by
simply pouring the diluted solutions
together into 4 tub from two buckets.
If We have a large orchard. 1t would
be best that the two dilution tanks
holding slightly more than 100 gallons
each, so that we can make zoe gaI"
Ions at once.
II would also be better II We have
two or three stock solution barrels for
suphatc of copper and a good ele-
waited shaking box besides the stocG
solution barrel for lime. The limo
can then be strained from the shaking
box directly into the stock solution
barrel of Lime. In this case, if We
were making $50 Bordeaux, we
would dip sixteen gallons from each Of
the stock solution barrels and fill each
of the dilution barrels to 100 gallons
before running them together
1t is very important in spraying I
large orchard that the filling of tho
tanks may be done as quickly as pos
sibc. Some large orchardistG never
let the sprayer go in from the orchard
TO the mixing plant, but have man
with a tank to haul the spray mixture
from the plant to the spraycr
In making Bordeaux mixture II Is
very important that we should have
good stone lime, lime that Stakes
readily and completely 1t is often
asked if hydrated lime may be sui
stituted for stone lime for Bordeaux
mixture The writer has not used
hydrated lime, but sees no reason why
II would not be as good rs stone linz
since on shaking stone lime forms
hydtated lime. However Onefourth
more of the hydrated lime should be
used. Thus. Bordeaux mixture 4;4:o'
with stone lime should read 4:5:5l

the most serious enemy OF the grape.
The disease Affects both the leaves
and the fruit ON the leaves 1t causes
dark spots that are larger on the low

small spots that spread until the en-

The diseases of plants are caused
by fungi or bacteria These are small
plants that do not contain the green
substance seen in the leaves of other
plants, and therefore cannot manufaC-
ture plant food from water and the
material absorbed from the air, but
must live upon some other living or
dead thing
The diseases caused by fungi, we
are often able To control by spraying
The fungus gets start in any par
ticular place in plant by the ger
mlnation of small body known as Il
spore. Certain substances are poison.
GUS to the young fungus when It first
starts to grow, and If we have the
leaves, fruit or twigs coated with such
Il substance when the spore germl-
mates (starts to grow 1t will be killed.
\ great many fungous diseases, cs-
pecially those we are generally trou-
bled with in the orchards, are killed
by very weak solution OF some cop
per compound. OF course. this copper
may be injurious to the leaves. fruit,
or twigs. in weak enough form TO
do no harm and yet strong enough to
Kill the tender terminating fungus.
The same is true OF the other mater
ias that We use in spraying to fight
fungus discusses.
The most important spray material
used by orchardtes is the Bordeaux
Mixture" II may also be used for dis
eases on other plants than orchard
trees.
Bordeaux mixture is prepared by
mixing a solution of sulphatc of cop
per (blue yitriol with solution OF
lime The substance from this mixing
is practically insoluble, but If 1t
spreads upon the leaves, enough OF 1t
will become soluble to ksap In any
film of moisture over the leaves
enough copper to prevent the germl'
mating OF the fungus.
The strength of Bordeaux mixture Is
generally given in terms of fifty gal
Ions. Thus Bordeaux mixture a. 81
means that We have four pounds oil
sulphate of copper four pounds OF lime
and nifty gallons of water; or Dor
Geaux mixture $3.50 means that we
have two pounds of sulphate of cop
per. three pounds of lime and fifty gal'
Ions of water.
In making any quantity OF this mix
ture, 1t is best to have stock SoIu
ton OF each of the substances, thus
with the sulpnate OF copper We may
have a fifty gallon barrel nearly filed
with water. At the top of this water,
We hang Il gunny sack, or some other
porous receptacle. containing hity
pon.Es Of copper sulphate, This hang
ing at the top of the liquid is done tt
make the gulphatc of copper dissolve
more rapidly. II it were poured into
"A barrel and permitted to so TO the
bottom. it would probably be many
weeks before 1t would dissolve. This
diFnlvIng may. of course, be hastenet
by using warm water. We should 'h''
have at the other end OF the miNint
ulant another fifty gallon barrel into
which we will put fifty pounds OF lime
This lime should, OF course b'
weighed before it is slaked, thtT
sIaked and strained into the bar
