When Spray Doesn't
Stick

According to the Experiment Station
Record, two Frenchmen, v. Vermorel
and E. Dantony, have perfected a
means of making bordeaux mixture
stick, and to better enable it to wet the
foliage to which it is applied. This
process is through the. addition Of
casein to the spray mixture.
For the preparation of the casein,"
says the Record, 1T is suggested that
SO grams of powdered casein be added
to 100 grams of freshly slaked pow
dered lime, mixed with a small amount
of water in the form of paste. After
this has stood for a short period, an
additional amount Of water may be
added, until about liter Of liquid is
obtained. This is then added to 100
liters of bordeaux mixture and is said
to increase the adhesiveness very
greatly,
Gelatin has been found to confer
upon sprays containing it an excellent
spreading and wetting capacity and
perfect adherence. Casein proved to
be one Of the best agents for tncreas-
ing the wetting capacity of a ST ray
and to leave almost entirely intact the
chemical composition of the precipi-
tate, which 1t is adapted to distribute
and fax upon the leaves.

THE CARE AND MARKETING OF SQUADS
Whether Not SQUAD Raising Industry Profitable Depends Upon
Kind of Treatment the Birds Receive and Upon the Accessibility
Neamess of the Plant to Good Market.

| 1t Is a debatable question with SQUAD
breeders today whether birds should
be kept in small or large focks. While
one will advocate keeping not over
fifty pairs in loft, another will adyo-
| cate keeping twenty-five, and third
will claim that there Is no harm in
| keeping 200 pairs together Observa-
lions have led the writer to believe
that forty pairs can be kept together
quite successfully. These should have
and the lofts should be at least six feet
high.
There should also be a fly from six
to eight feet high the width of the loft
and from twenty to thirty feet In
length. Some breeders make the fly
high enough so that it will extend over
part of the roof of the pigeon house,
in order that the birds may sit in the
sun. This is not only injurious to the
roof, but encourages the birds to lazy
habits, whereas to get successful re-
suits In breeding they must be kept
working, or at least not encouraged to
idleness. r
The estimated cost Of feeding pair
Of pigeons varies from ST to $3.50
year. Reports from a number of
pigeon farms give an average cost Of
1892. =
Clear drinking water, grit, broken
oyster shell, and charcoal should be
kept before the pigeons all the time.
Salt is fed to pigeons In various forms,
and a supply of this material Is gen.
orally considered essential. Pigeons
not accustomed to eating fine salt are
apt to eat too much IL given large
quantity at one time, although hne
salt Is used with good success by many
careful feeders. Salt may be fed in
lump form, such as rock salt or as
fine salt moistened and baked into a
hard lump, without danger Of the pig
cons eating too much. Salt may also
be fed mixed with grit, charcoal, and
oyster shell.
Pans Of water should be provided
daily except during the winter and
placed IN the yards or fiyways. These
bath pans are usually filled in the
morning and emptied about noon.
They should be used only about twice
week during the winter but should
then be kept on the floor Of tho house.
AS squads are reared and fed by
both of the parent birds on a thick.
creamy mixture called pigeon milk,
produced In the crop of the pigeons,
1t is essential that pigeons rearing
squads have plentiful supply Of grain
to insure rapid growth of the young.
Pigeons usually feed the squads
shortly after they themselves are fed
and should not be disturbed at that
time. thus making it advisable to

or disturb pigeons or squads any more
than Is absolutely necessary.
Squads are ready for market usually
from 31s to ~ weeks of age, and
up to this time they are fed by their
parents. They must be sent to market
promptly as the period during which
they are In best condition rarely ak
ceeds one week. Squads are In good
market condition when fully feathered
under the wings, which Is usually
about the time they begin to leave the
nest. If they are not killed at this
time they soon lose their baby fat and
their flesh begins to harden.
Catch the squads to be marketed

by their parents, 80 that their crops
will be empty. Squads are usually
killed in the same manner as poultry
by cutting the arteries in the back
part of the roof of the mouth ana

ket without plucking they are usually
killed by wringing or breaking the
neck. The latter Is done by pressing

fruit grower, would become a reality.
But until some means Of teaching the
differences in the quality of fruits can
be devised the general public will con-

fruits in the home garden will do

Besides increasing tho fruit supply
and cultivating a taste for quality, the

possession of a tree which one him

production carries an added interest
in it's product, as well as in the opera
ton by which it was secured. The
unfolding of the leaf, the exposure Of
the blossom buds, the development Of
the flowers. and the formation of the
fruit are all processes which measure
the skill of tho cultivator, and when

The inhabitants Of this country are
notably fruit-loving and fruit-eating
people. notwithstanding this, how
ever fruit culture has grown to be
classed among the specialties, and few
persons who consume fruit are actual
growers. The possibilities in fruit Gull
ture upon restricted areas have been
very generally overlooked, with the
result that many persons who own a
city lot, suburban home, or even a
farm, now look upon fruit as a luxury.
This can all be changed, and much Of
the land which is now practically waste
and entirely unremunerative can be
made to produce fruits In sufficient
quantity to give them a regular place
upon the family bill Of fare and at the
same time add greatly to the attrac-
tiveness Of the table and healthfulness
of the diet The home production of
fruit stimulates an interest In and
love for natural objects which can
only be acquired by that familiarity
with them which comes through their
culture The cultivation of fruits

much more intelligent buyer than one
who has not had the advantages of

and the birds are cooled either by

Squads should be graded according
to size and quality, az dark-colored
and small squads tend to lower tho

mixed squads. They are usually
packed for shipment in a good supply
Of cracked Ice, breasts up with par

have a special rate for squad
shipments, which should be secured
wherever possible. The express
charges on small shipments Of squads
reduce the profit materially. making it
