Tbe following formula for Bordeaux mixture Is used as a preventive ol fungous db<ases, as potato blight, ap pie scab, etc. Various formulas ar« quo«**«!, but the following Is now ao cepted as safe and reliable: , Copper sulphate, 5 pounds; fresh lime, 5 pounds; water, 50 gallons. El:her arsenate of lead or Paris green may be safely combined witk Bordeaux mixture. In fact. In all orchard spraying operations It ha« come to be a common practice to a«l<! eitb«?r Paris green or arsenate of lead to Bordeaux at every application. By thia means biting insects and fungi are controlled at a single operation. No other fact Is more Important than this In spraying. Arsenate of lead Is a poison for biting insects and is less liable to in jure foliage than Parts green. It re mains longer In suspension. It ad heres better to foliage. It may bs used for any purpose for which Paris green Is employed In liquid sprays. The formula Is: Arsenate of lead, 3 to 3 pounds; water, 50 gallons.

When a farmer breeds Indifferent cattle, horses or sheep he receive« less for his labor and feed than h« should receive, adds less to the wealtk of his state than the up-to-date farm er. and Is at a disadvantage when h« undertakes to secure for himself and family the things which help to mak« life worth living, says a writer in ax exchange.
