 and combine, foi iniug a fine wliite sediment which is the Arsenate ol' 

 Lead. It can also be pnrcliased ready for addition to the water, but 

 it is usually better when j)repared-as above. It is as cheap, or in the 

 end cheaper than Paris green, as it stays much longer on the trees be- 

 fore being washed olT by the rains. Some j^ersons advise the addi- 

 tion of two quarts of molasses to each hundred gallons of the water, 

 but the benefit to be derived from this is questionable. 



• WHALE OIL SOAP. 



Parts. Per bbl. 



Whale oil soap, 2 lbs. 80 lbs. 



Water 1 gal. 40 gals. 



This is much stronger than Kerosene Emulsion and should only be 

 used during winter, when the trees are not growing. It can be used 

 for insects which cannot be killed by Kerosene Emulsion. In spray- 

 ing for the iiiin Jos6 Scale in the fall (see under Peach), it should 

 be used at the rate of one pound to a gallon of water; in the spring 

 before the buds open, or for winter work, it can be used as above 

 given. 



KEROSENE EMULSION. 



Parts. Per bbl. 



Hard soa^) (shaved finej i lb. 1 tt). 



Water, 1 gal. 2 gals. 



Kerosene, 2 gals. 3^ gals. 



Dissolve the soap in the water, which should be boiling, and while 

 it is very hot pour the suds into the kerosene; then churn it with a 

 spra}' pump till it changes to a creamy mass, and then to a soft, but- 

 ter-like substance. This should keep for some time. When it is 

 desired to use it, add one part of it to nine times as much water, mix 

 well, and spray the plants. The water should be soft water, or else 

 have some soda added to it. 



For the Four-lined Leaf bug take one part of the Emnlsion and 

 five parts of water. 



TOBACCO WATER. 



Place tobacco stems or refuse tobacco in enough hot water id 

 cover; let stand several hours. Take one part of this to three or 

 four of water, and spray over the plants. 



CARBON BISULPHIDE. 



To be obtained of druggists at about thirty cents per pound. In 

 using, avoid bringing it near fire or even hot steam pipes as it catches 

 fire easily. Avoid breathing it also.
