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
80 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 Dor.
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 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
little at time so as not to kill the
heat from the lime. When the sIak-
ing is completed and when the copper
sulphate is all dissolved and both mix
lures have been brought up to Is
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
phate, as the mixture obtained is not
good bordeaux and will oftentimes do
injury instead of being beneficial.

rather than before, in order to avoid
the presence of dust and odors.
The water supply is factor too fire.
quently neglected 1t is of prime i'm
portance that the COWS have an
abundance of fresh, pure water. There
are instances on record where heavy
mixers have consumed more than
three hundred pounds of water per
day; and rs pounds or more is actu-
ally required by COWS that produce rs
pounds of milk. Ice-cold water is as
bad for animals as for human beings,
and in extremely severe weather it
may be found necessary to warm the
water slightly in order to induce the
COWS to drink a sufficient quantity. OBJ
viously the water trough should be
clean and sheltered as much as posi-
BILE from the weather.
In view of the comparatively narrow
margin Of profit in producing milk, it
will seem impracticable to many pro-
ducers to burden themselves with the
increased expense involved in such
precautions as these. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that in addition
to the duty to the community which
the producer owes, the Importance Of
pure milk is being more and more ap-
preciated by the consuming public,
and that this appreciation will bring
valuable returns to the dairyman who
complies with the rising sanitary
standards. Not only are a better class
of patrons and steadier market Sc
cured, but the health of the farm fam
lily, which uses a large portion of the
milk itself, is safeguarded; the health
of the calves, which live on the milk,
is improved, and the whole herd pro-
tected from disease. Stricter methods
of cost keeping and the elimination of
all Improbable COWS will help Offset
the extra expense of producing clean,
wholesome milk.

TALK ON WESTERN
CANADA.
You Don't Have to Lie About
Canada-The Simple Truth
Is Enough.

The natural resources of the coun-
try are SO vast that they cannot be
told in mere figures. Man can only
tell Of what tiny portions have done.
He can only say, Il am more pros
porous than / ever expected to be-"
And yet if farmer expects to sue
coed on land that he has been forced
to pay $50 to $500 an acre for he ought
to feel assured Of attaining prosperity
when he finds the richest prairie soil
at his disposal absolutely free. If he
has a little capital, let him invest it
all in live stock and farm implements
he will find himself ten years ahead
Of the game. Some day such chance
will not be found anywhere on the
face Of the globe. But now the same
opportunities await you as awaited
the pioneer and not one hundredth
part of the difficulties he encountered
and overcame. Success in Canada is
made up Of two things, natural re-
sources and human labor. Canada
has the one and you the other. A
postal card stands between you and
the Canadian government agent. II
you don't hold these two forces and
enjoy the fruits of the result 1t Is your
own fault.
Debt and Canada Will Not Stand
Htched.
You want cozy home, free life,
and sufficient income. You want edu.
cation for your children, and some
pleasure for your wife. You want In
dependence. Your burden has been
heavy, and your farm hasn't paid.
You work hard and are discouraged.
You require change. There is a
goal within sight, where your children
will have advantages. You can get a
home in Western Canada, freedom.
where your ambitions can be fulfilled.
If the Prairie Provinces of Canada are
full of Successful Farmers why should
you prove the exception? Haven't you
got brains, experience, courage? Then
prove what these are capable Of when
put on trial. 1t is encouraging to
know that there is one country in the
world where poverty is no barrier to
wealth; own your own car; own your
self; be somebody.
For facts write to any Canadian
government agent. Advertisement.

The Oldest Playwright.

Bertha Mann furnished the surprise
of the afternoon recently, says the De-
cember Green Book, when she tried
highly emotional role in q play
called 1.-THE Worth of a Man." at a
New York playhouse. A number Of
budding playwrights were presented,
and she was besieged by them to play
the leading part in several plays they
had written. One became insistent,
and partly to satisfy her, Miss Mann
agreed to read the play. 1t proved
to be theme as old as Adam, and
after the second act Miss Mann aban-
doned the task of further reading.
"You say you created this charac-
ter?" Miss Mann inquired
1.-THE character and the play are
both original with me-" was the
ready response.
And yet" Miss Mann added ru-
minatively, you don't look two thou
sand years old"

FEEDING VALUE OF THE SILO
Indispensable to Man Who Buys
Steers to Fatten-SiIaee Preferred
to Dry Corn Fodder.

Those farmers who have never
studied the silo question, naturally do
not know how much money they are
losing every year in their feeding op-
erations. No man who buys steers
to fatten can afford to be without a
silo.
It is a poor cornfield that will not
yield an average of from ten to fif-
teen tons Of green corn per acre. If
this is cut into silage, it will make
sure profit, at present prices Of cattle,
at from thirty to thirty-four dollars
per acre.
1t has been demonstrated conclu-
sively that silage-fed steers bring
more money on the big market than
those that are fattened on whole corn.
1t is also fact we'll known to expert
enced feeders that silage saves grain
and hay.
1t is true that corn fodder contains,
under chemical tests, more protein,
carbohydrates and fattening material
than silage, but the fact remains that
steers do not get all of the benefit
from corn fodder, while about every
thing that is valuable as feed Is con-
sumed in the silage.
Then silage, being quite bulky is
an excellent feed given in connection
with ground grains and heavy meals,
as 1t aids greatly in their digestion.
Another thing, steers like silage 1t
tastes good to them, and they eat 1t
with avidity.
A steer prefers silage to dry corn
fodder just as boy prefers pie to
dry corn bread, but in the case of the
steer, the silage is better food for
him than the pie is for the boy.
Place silage and dry corn fodder be-
fore bunch of steers, and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed of the first. This is
an important factor In feeding, be-
cause palatability adds to digestive
qualities of feed, and the more steer
digests the more fat he will put on.

Inflammation
CULTIVATION IN AN ORCHARD
Some Sort of Straw Mulch viii Act as
Protection From Heaving Caused
by Frost and Thaw.

(By r. B. HOWE. Colorado Experiment
Station)
There are two main reasons for
cultivating-to make plant food avail.
able and to conserve moisture. In
cultivating, the soil particles are bro.
ken up and the root hairs passing in
among the small particles take up
plant food from the soil water. The
plant food goes into solution in the
soil water as the rock and particles
in the soil decompose. More often we
cultivate to kill the weeds, but really
to conserve moisture. After each rain
the soil is packed down to some ex.
tent, and this crust, which forms upon
the surface with the drying of the soil,
Will draw water from the subsoil to
the surface by capillarity. When we
cultivate this surface crust is broken
up and the water does not as readily
escape from the sub-surface to the
air, and is held for use by the plant.
The fruit crop requires a great deal
CT water to mature fruits of good size.
In dry seasons the size of the sum-
mer fruits is liable to be small on
account of the insufficient water sup.
ply. Where the fruit garden is a small
plat of ground sufficient to supply the
table with fruit it is difficult to take
time to cultivate the strawberries and
blackberries, and for this reason the
use of some sort of straw mulch
will be best to help retain the mois
ture in the soil for the plants. The
mulch is plowed under after the crop
las been taken off and a new mulch
applied in the fall after the ground
is well frozen, when it will also act as
a protection from the heaving caused
by the frosts and thaws.

NOT A MERE POETIC MYTH
Abundant Proof of the Existence OF
Woman Warriors Known az
Amazons.

For long time it was held that the
story of the Amazons, the valiant race
of woman warriors, so great favorite
with the Greeks and other people of
antiquity, was a mere poetic myth,
but within recent years archaeological
researches have indicated that there
were indeed woman fighters of high
rank in those remote days.
A couple Of years ago there was I'M
earthed sepulcher in that part Of
Italy known as Etruria, in which was
discovered war chariot of bronze
and iron, wherein was crouched the
skeleton of woman. About this
skeleton were the remains Of rich
robes and ornaments of gold and ivory,
such as, in the old traditions, the
Amazons wore in battle. The bronze
work and the terra Gotta vases fixed
the date of the tomb as about 800 B. G.
The first stories of the Amazons as
signed them to the northeastern part
of Asia Minor, but Etruria was
peopled from Asia Minor and had at
tanned high degree of skill in certain
Of the arts long before Rome was
founded. Such evidence as this tomb
affords is, in the opinion of more than
one authority, more convincing than
the pictures Of Amazons on the old
vases, or such legends as that OF
Queen Penthesila, who was said to
have led 5000 woman fighters to the
aid of Priam during the Trojan war.
