HOW TO PREPARE BORDEAUX
A Few Suggestions in Regard to Its
Proper Mixing-Formula Most in
Use at Present Time.

AS bordeaux is probably the most
used fungicide at present, few sug-
gestions in regard to its proper mix
ing will not be out of place. The for
mula most in use at present is four
pounds Of copper sulphate (blue Wit
rioD four pounds of good lime and
so gallons of water. The granulated
form of copper sulphate should be
used, and only well-burned lime which
is not air slaked should be used Be
sure to use lime enough. If lime is
poor or If there is any fear of bor-
deaux injury to the fruit add another
pound of lime.
The lime and copper sulphate should
be prepared in different receptacles,
preferably half barrels. The copper
sulphate should be held in a sack at
the top of the half barrel and allowed
to dissolve. Never put the copper
sulphate in the bottom of the barrel.
When shaking the lime add the water
a little at time so as not to kill the
heat from the lime. When the slak-
ing is completed and when the copper
sulphate is all dissolved and both mix
lures have been brought up to rs
gallons, they may be put together
after thorough mixing. Be sure to
pour the copper sulphate into the lime.
which has previously been put into a
mixing barrel or the spray pump. Do
not pour the lime into the copper sui
plate, as the mixture obtained is not
good bordeaux and will oftentimes do
injury instead of being beneficial.

Island Of Cyprus.

The island Of Cyprus has been
identified by scholars with the Chit
tim of the Bible, and it is recorded
that Hiram, king of Tyre. who as
sisted Solomon in the building of the
temple at Jerusalem, had to put down
a rebellion Of the Cyprians, who had
refused to pay tribute. 1t is more
than possible that some Of the copper
used in the Solomonic temple came
from Cyprus, for it was only days
sail from the mainland, and at that
time was under Phoenician control.

GERMANY'S MASTER SPY

Three years ago Georg Steinhauer
spent night in Buckingham palace,
shook hands with King George and
was the friend Of many prominent
Englishmen, for he was a member of
the suite of Emperor William when he
attended the unwilling of the Queen
Victoria Memorial in 1911. Since then
he has been the head of the spy sys-
tenn in Great Britain and the most
sinister foe of that country. He sits
in an office in the palace at Potsdam,
the center Of a web of espionage that
covers England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, and it is doubtful if any other
living man knows as much about those
countries as does Herr Steinhauer.
The devices originated by Stein
hauer to aid the activities of his sub
ordinates are too numerous to dwell
upon in any detail. 1t was he who
invented the system of signaling by
automobile and bicycle headlights
