at i 4 if' PAGE SIX Lime-Sulphur Its Use as a Fungicide and-an Insecticide l$y Prof. P. J. O'Garn, Pathologist. Written especially for the Medford Mail Tribune. (Copyright, 1911, by Medford Printing Company.) ' (Fourth installment.) By inspecting the table of calcium " sulphide, U'Vv'ill bo eet'n that column three, giving (he chemical formula, indicates,. the relative amounts of sulphur combining with calcium in the various sulphides. The general name .polysulnlndo of calcium is tisii ally appjied to all the sulphides above the first, namoly, tho calcium mono sulphide. While most of these com pounds can be made, at least in the laboratory, not all aro of practicul interest bo far as the preparation of lime-sulphur is concerned. For our purpose it ia to be understood thut when lime and sulphur are boiled to gether in water, some of the com pounds arc formed, the kinds as well as amounts of the compounds formed, depending chiefly upon tho amount of lime and sulphur, the state of division, time ol boiling the mix ture, temperature of boiling, etc. The compounds which are present in tho largest amounts in ircsiuy piupuiuu lime-sulphur wash are tctra-sulphido (CaS'l) and pcntn-Milphido (CuSft). ' These two sulphides aro ciiito solu- ' blo'm water and, dissolved, produce an" Wjigc-rcd liquid with which vc "anl'licijuainted. It is considered that .''"'(li?3c' two higher sulphides aro tho -. moat efficient in killing scale ano , that more than likely tho highest sul- fl nhido (CaSC) is much more effec tive than the lower one (CnS-1). Tin. j simplest compound of calcium and . sulphur, as will bo seen Iroin Hie ta - ble, is the Hioiio-Hulpliiclc (CaB). It is a grayish-White solid and is nv,i readily soluble in water. H is qtiiU likely that in the making of a lime sulphur wash, it does out appear a f all, because, in boiling water it breaks ,. down or (Iccompohcs and would b changed very quickly into some otho compound. It has been found Ilia tho higher Mtulphidcs of calcium, es pecially the pcnta-Milphido (CuSfi am leadily formed when lime (Cai ilium oxide, CnO) and water ai'c boiled with an excess of sulphur. 1J. an excess of bitlpliuiyl is to bo ml derstood that more Hulpliur thai would be enough to combine with tli- lime would bo used. If wo had i chemically pure lime (Calcium oxido and a chemically pure sulphur, pounds of tho Huio and 100 pound of sulphur would bo tho proper com bination to use in order to form th 1 ai-gust amount of the highest sul phides tf" calcium. Of course, w cannot expect absolute purity in th lime and, therefore, do not adhero t !,. these amounts. When calcium pentn l". sulphide (OaSrO and calcium lelra ., sulphido (CuS-l) are formed in iimu ,v ing lime-Bulphiir, at the winio tim another suulphur compound appeal ,.i in tho wash. This compound iH calle caloitim thio-sulphatc (CuS'JOIl). Ca i eiiini thio-huulphatc upon boiliii; r" changes into another compound u ; bulphur and lime, forming what . , tunned calcium sulphite (CnSO:)) nu froo sulphur, (S). This sulphi which has been set froo by the n ' notion is in condition to comma ' with moru calcium. The calcium Mil phitc, when o.poied to the an uliilflgOfe into calcium sulphat . (tJuSOl), or gypMim. The oalciun Blllphito and the cak-iuia sitlphato d luil.lmtuly diolvo in uutor and an thuloforo, found hi the hcdimeut uii-diw-olvcd portion of liuie-sulphu prOpiutllioiiH. As a mutter of I'm Uiu moht promiiiout compound in th gudimout, which i found ul'lor boil ing a batch of linie-Kiilpliur, i- cai oiiim teiilphilo. When caloium pcata aulphidu (CaS:) which i the higher Niijphido lonaud and is the mot t bo debited for the purpose of pruv ing, i o.poMd to the air, it obxoib oxygon and hlowly clinim' into cai oiuiu thio-biilphate, (Ca'20;i), m-Uui,. btilphur free iu a very finely ditd-' fctatu.

The sulphur which has been bet free in the hibt reaction would com bine with more lime on further boil ing and form polysulpbidc (CaS.)) and thio-sulphuto (CuS20:U How ever, it the boiling be continued, it will bo seen that more thio-sulphato would be formed at the cxpenso of the penta-siilphide. This is very significant mid would mean that a mixture of lime and sulphur may be boiled too long, thus defeating the very end which it was attempted to attain. It is well known that thio-stiul-phntcs iu solution change slowly to sulphites, which, in turn, change to sulphates according to the following reactions; (-1) CnS'JOU equals CaSO.'t plus P, (.) CaSO.'l plus 0 equals CaSO j. That iu to say, the thio-sulphato in changing to sulphite gives up one atom of oxygtMi. To one interested ('hanging to sulphate takes up olio atom of oxygen. To one interested iu n further study of this interest ing mattei, J would say that these five reactions may bo found iu any good text book on chemistry. In tho reactions which have been given it has been pre-supposod thi'.t the lime uinl sulphur arc pure. In practice this is not always tho case, since coinmcreinl lime frequently con uiins considerable amounts of mag nesium oxide. Jt is quite well known 'hat magnesium does not readily form .'(impounds with sulphur like those lormed by calcium and cannot take he place of calcium. .Magnesium o. do when boiled with water and mi!- phitr acts iu an undesirable way, since it cniiros a waste of sulphur luring the boiling of the mixture. I'liH is due to the fact that when magnesium hydrate is boiled with .liter and sulphur it fornix what i-t uowli Is magnesium sulphydrate (ilgS'JII2). This compound decom poses very readily and produces the ivell-known, ill-Hinolling gas, hydro ;enr sulphide (II2S). It is nl.-o 'jiiowii by the name, of hydro-sul-nhuric acid, or sulphuretted hydro ren, which is quite familiar on a 'oimt of its charaofcriKtie odor, hi he preparation of lime-sulphur with ommercial lime, containing cousid rabh amounts of mugnctnwm oxido MgO), it has been shown that hydro U'n sulphide is given off and those u hcarge of the operation have been pade ill by inhaling tho gas. Since he gas contains Milphur, till of tho ulp1iur which has cntetcd into it s lost by passing off from the solu ion during tho act of boiling. Ily Irogcn sulphide is a poisonous ga uid should not be inhaled. This fact volild' indicate that lime of a good jiiulitv should be ued and should onlaiu at least tl." per cent calcium xide. Tho sulphur may be either the lour of sulphur or tho flowers of ulpliur, mid ut least 1)1) ',j per cent pure. Before, making up a homo toiled lime-sulphur wnt-li, it is there 'oro u very good plan to get a lime, k well us ii stilphui, wIiom) quality il be guaranteed. Hunters Out After Lion.
