Sprayed Unsprayed Apples They

ter. 1t is necessary to spray before
the cup closes.
II has been demonstrated over and
over again that where perfect spray
Ing was done from ninety-two to
ninety-tive per cent Of all the first
brood of the cooling moth were
killed. Also, this kind of spraying de-
stroys some Of the remaining ones af-
terward, thus practically preventing
a second brood.
IN order to get the poison into the
little calyx cup 1t is necessary TO in
ject II with considerable force, be-
cause the stamen bars are thick and
tolerably stout and form a solid roof
over the cup.
II the spray is put on as a mist it
lodges on the outside and If thrown UP
into the air to come down in falling
drops it will strike this little roof and
roll off. Here's where the spray noz-
zle comes in. This instrument sends
driving spray of fine drops, five or
six feet before it breaks up into a mist,
and the nozzle must be held within a
foot or two Of the blossom in order
that the spray can penetrate to the
very bottom of the cup
To do this thoroughly It is neces-
sary to point the nozzle straight into
every blossom on the tree and to do
this the sprayer must stand on a plat
form high enough to reach down into
the blossoms and he must then get
down low enough so that he can reach
those blossoms which point down
ward.
Most Of these blossoms that point
| downward may be reached from the
underside by turning the nozzle under
them and directing the spray upward
The top of the spraying tower should
be just high enough so that mans
head will come just about to the level
OF the tops of the trees. This tower
! may be placed on a wagon and drawn
from tree TO tree.
A barrel pump, operated by a man
with a good muscle will do the bust
ness thoroughly and the two or three
hours necessary to spray a good-sized
orchard, even when repeated three
times during the growing season. is
time that will bring It's reward from
four to ten-fold.
In some seasons very good results
have been obtained by a single appli-
cation. but perfect results cannot be
had unless the first spraying is fol-
lowed up, not only during the first
season. but for every season.
For instance, in spraying for cod
ling moth. The small apple grows
rapidly and unless the first spraying
is followed by another in about ten
days, the larvae that escaped the first
spraying will turn into insects within
a short time after the first apples drop
and another spray should be given to
protect the fruit from the second
brood. This should be followed by
third or even a fourth spraying.

RAISE BR0iLERS
ON EVERY FARM
Ten Weeks Is Average for Life
of Fowl and 1t Does Not
Need Special Forcing.

Every farmer ought to raise broil-
ers, distributing the production as
evenly as possible over the year. Ten
weeks is the average for the life of
broiler, and it does not pay to force
them specially, though they should be
kept growing right along.
The staple diet Is ground oats
When chickens are housed feed them
ground bone and meat sparingly twice
a week. In cool weather use small
potatoes, boiled and mashed, mixed
with ground oats or corn.
Farmers often have a lot OF vege-
tables and skim milk that are worth
more for chicken food than for any
thing else. BY following such a course
as this there is sufficient variety for
healthful feeding and to keep up the
growth.
Start the little chicks usually with
bread crumbs and fine meal. A little
warm milk is also excellent during the
first week or two. II is easy TO see
whether chickens are getting too much
meat or not. 1t is unwise to let them
out on the wet ground. For one thing
they will eat too much worm meat
and then again the dampness is bad
for chickens, young or old.
