Bordeaux Mixture.

Stone Lime (unslacked) S pounds.
: Bluestone S pounds.
Paris Green to ounces.
Water to make) so gallons.
Important Note-If it. is to be
used on peach, plum, cherry or
apricot, uae only at pounds blue
stone and 81 or ounces of Paris
Green.
Directions for Making.-Put the
;BluestoDe in a cloth sack and hang
it in tub or keg of water, 80 that
it is just below the surface. In this
way 1t will dissolve muoh more rap
idly than if thrown in so that it
sinks to the bottom. Warm or hot
water will dissolve it much more
rapidly than cold. Put this to dis
solve in the evening before 1t is in
tended to spray and it will be dis
solved by morning. This should
be in a wooden receptacle. After
the, Bluestone has dissolved, add
water to make 25 gallons.
3 Slake the lime slowly (preferably
with hot water) and when com
apletely slaked add water to make
25 gallons. Keep this in a separate
,keg or barrel. ,...3-.. ...,.
!. We now have 25 gallons of the
'bluestone solution and 25 gallons of
the lime solution. We now take
equal parts Of each of these solu-
8ttions, and pour them together into
a third tub or barrel. Do not pour
"a bucketful of one into half-bar-
rel of the other, but mix them al
ways in equal quan titles. Thus, we
may take two buckets and fill one
with the lime solution and the other
from the bluestone solution and
then pour them both at the same
time into the third barrel or keg.
This little point of always mixing
them in equal quantities results in q
better mixture than when they are
carelessly mixed, or when the whole
mass of one solution is poured
bodily into the whole mass of the
other. Always stir the solution
we'll before dipping out, so that the
liquid you take out shall be fully
charged with the ingredients of the
solution.
1t now remains to add the Paris
Green cf which from five to eight
ounces are used for the so gallons.
Mix the green first with little wa
ter in cup or dish (using the fin
ger or a small stick until it is
thoroughly wetted to a thin, wa
terry paste. in which there are no
dry Jumps or bubbles of the Paris
Green. Then wash this into the
mixture and stir thoroughly. The
Bordeaux Mixture and Paris Green
is now complete.
Before using, the mixture must
be carefully strained through
cloth or fine wire gauze. Remember
that all the spray must come out
through the small hole in the end of
the nozzle; therefore, to avoid clog
ging, strain carefully before using.
Care in the thorough straining be-
fore spraying will pay for the
trouble many times over, and it
does no harm to have both the blue
stone and lime solutions strained
before they are combined. Ii one
uses considerable quantities of the
mixture. it is we'll to have a large
funnel strainer made, fitted with
two nettings, one of iron wire win
dow screening and the other with
much finer gauze,, preferably OF
btass. Having strained the pois-

be competed for, cash premiums will
be paid on all winning fowl entries
Secretary Silversmith announces that
the cash IS now on hand and in the
bank ready to pay every cash award as
quickly as the awards are audited and
every cash premium will be paid dur
ing show week and before the birds
are removed by owners. Governor
Alexander has donated a silver trophy
cup valued at $50 which will be COM
peted for in the Rhode Island Red
class, either comb. Premium catalogs
have been requested from such dis
tant points as California and Utah, saw

compete against fowls of this section.
The latter association will hold it's

q good many cases the whole state.
The recent fight put up by the traffic
bureau in the potato rate fight, and
the case that is now being prepared
asking for a reduction Of eight cents
per bushel on onions, shows the vast
amount of real efficient work that the
Boise Commercial club is doing for the
whole country. The following letter
might interest a few who can't see
that the Boise Commercial club Is do
ing anything:
Mr.. w. d. Fisher,
Secretary Boise Commercial Club.
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir: Your letter of Nov. 20
extending to me the free use of your
club rooms whenever in your city be-
fore me and / wish to say that 1 very
much appreciate this courtesy and wish
to add further that | believe, as one
who is very much interested in COM
mercial club work, and the upbuilding
of this state, that your move in this
direction is a splendid one and should
meet with the very earnest support of
your entire club.
At one time, for a number of years
was a resident of Boise, and like
WISE lHdl llIIe Il HlelnDeT VI lile
Boise Commercial club, and therefore
have very kind feeling both for the
club and for the city of Boise, but /
have found very frequently since leav-
ing Boise that there is often a feeling
among the best of our citizens in other
towns that Boise usually was asking
for more than she was willing to give.
and while | have never entertained
such a feeling, yet l believe with the
spirit of the Boise Commercial club
trying to reach the citizens OF differ
ent towns in the state with the spirit
of good feeling and a cordial friend
ship that you will accomplish a great
deal for the good of Boise, and find
that you will be met with more bust
ness into your city and business that
comes more from the idea that the out
side like to do business with you
rather than in the spirit that it is done
only because they have to.
wish again to express my gratitude
for the kindness OF your invitation to
make use of your club rooms as eX-
pressed in your letter.
Yours truly,

A Paris dispatch admits that the
Germans have launched heavy Of
fensive around Verdun, from the right
bank of the Meuse to the Herbe woods.
They are attacking with many infan-
try regiments on a fifteen-mile front.
Entire German battalions have been
annihilated in the fierce struggle, ac-
cording to German prisoners. The
French have evacuated Haumont for

which was evacuated yesterday. Nlo-
lent fighting also continues IN the
Vivenchy wood near Souchez The
French have recaptured several of the
trenches occupied by the Germans in
their sudden offensive on Monday
night.
The violent onslaught of the crown
princes army was preceded by roll
ing fire of artillery that began sun
day morning and continued through
out Monday and Monday night. Inc
French replied vigorously to this
bombardment and brought up re-
serves TO meet the expected attack.
Heavy German infantry attacks were
launched yesterday. The war office
admitted last night that by particular

occupied the HaumOnt woods and
had broken the French salient north
OF Beaumont. and about ten miles
northeast of Verdum.
These attacks evidently we're fol

designed to throw back the whole

attack was met by a terrific fire from
French guns inflicting enormous
