BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
Solution of Lime and Copper SuIPhate
 Can Be Mixed on Farm.

Prof. R. J. Damon says that spray ing potatoes is just as essential as feeding the dairy COW. Therefore, if this is. true, every potato grower thoroughly. This will mean that at least four or five sprayings for the season will be necessary. Where a large acreage of potatoes is grown on the farm the making of this mixture at home should be considered, as the making of 1t. is a simple matter. It only requires the dissolving of five pounds of copper sulphate, the slak- ing of five pounds of caustic or build ers' lime and diluting with 50 gallons of water.
 To get thorough mixture, one that will stay in solution well, it is best to dissolve and dilute the copper suf- phate to 25 gallons of water, the same also with the caustic lime and pour them both at the same time through Strainer into the spray barrel It is often made by pouring one solution in- to the other, but one, is liable to have trouble unless vigorous stirring is given while mixing the two solutions.
 The cost of these materials when made at home will be much less than when bought ready mixed Should one have various insects which trouble the potatoes, four pounds of arsenate. of lead, thoroughly dissolved and diluted should be added to the 50 gallons of water.
 At least four or five sprayings should be made each season, and to do this with a regular mixture of ;Bor- deaux one would require about 25 pounds of copper sulphate and 25 pounds of builders lime for each acre. For the first two sprayings 50 gallons of spraying solution wil be sufficient to spray this area, but after. later growth has taken place a larger amount of solution will be necessary. From TO to 80 gallons of this spraying solution will be- required to spray thor oughly. In addition the amount of ar senate of lead that will be necessary will depend upon the presence of the potato bug or insects. For the first and last sprayings it will probably not be necessary to have the arsenate of lead added. but for the other sprayings lit would be wise, to add to 1t if there are even a small number aof bettles present.

FRUIT TREES.
No Danger From Arsenate Spraying In the East If Proper Methods Are Used.

There has been much interest this being injured or killed by the arsenate of lead which is used in spraying. Prof. H. T. Fernald of Amherst has been consulted on the matter and ask ei- to write a short article on 1t, which fol1ows:-
 The possibility of causing the death of fruit trees by repeated spraying with arsenical prisons has been con- siderably discussed during the last few years. Headden claims that ar senic collected about the crown or col lar of trees may damage or even kill them, and if this be correct, the wis called into question. This subject has been investigated by a number of workers since the appearance of Head den's article and without going into details on the subject, the following general conclusions appear to have been reached:
 1. The trees which apparently suf- fered from the arsenical spraying may in reality have been injured in other ways.
 3. Alkaline seepage alone is suff1ci- ent to cause the death of fruit trees, at least in some cases
 3. Trees never sprayed and where alkali is apparently not present in sufficient quantities to be the killing agent, have died from injuries at the collar, in a similar way to those spray ed.
 4. Where a1kali Is present in any large amount 1t Is probable that it might set free arsenic from the spray which collects around the crown and asist in injuring the tree.
 There is thus far no evidence in the East where fruit trees have been sprayed with arsenical poisons for many years, of any injury resulting from the spraying, such as Is claimed by Headden in the West. We have no such alkaline soils are found in many parts of the West, and if the arsenical Is really responsible for the injuries Found 1t would seem probable at least that the presence of the alkali is almost essential to the production of the injury. On the whole. therefore, fear that spraying fruit trees in New England may result in injury to, or the death of the trees, Is not supported by evidence. Of course, if spraying Is not dne in accordance with ordinary methods no one could predict the re- suit, but under the usual conditions no harm should be done by it. '-,.t .

NO REASON FOR IT
When Norwich Citizens Show Way

There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tor lures of an aching back, the annoy-' ance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a Nor. wick citizen says:
 Mrs. Mary Neff. 465 Main St, Nor, wich. says: For many years one oil my family was subject to attacks of kidney complaint. He suffered from pains across his 1oins and at times could scarcely get about on account of his back being so stiff and lame. The kidney secretfons were irregular in passage and often contained sed- iment. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store, proved of benefit from the first and soon every symptom of kidney com plaint disappeared. I willingly con- firm all said in praise of Doans Kid ney Pills in the statemene l gave a few years ago. Nothing has occurred to change my high opinion of this remedy"

 In the spring of 1910 two small areas were sown to alfalfa. One had been in grain. the preceding year and the other in field. peas. The soil of each plot was alike and the seeding was done at the same time. The plant that had been in peas gave a perfect stand of alfalfa, while on the plot that had been in grain the preceding year very poor stand was obtained. The soil on the former plot was in better condition and was competed more easily after blowing.

Rheumatism is a disease character ized by. pains in the joints and in the muscles. The most common forms are: Acute and chronic rheumatism, rheu- matic headaches, sciatic rheumatism and lumbago. All of these types can be helped absolutely by applying some good liniment that penetrates. An ap- plicatfon of Sloan,s Liniment two or three times a day to the affected part will give instant relief.
