knapsack sprayer, I thoroughly mix one-fourth pound of 

 the poison in a barrel of water, and fill the knapsack sprayer 

 with this mixture, and the attachment with kerosene. 



Carbolic Acid Emulsion is made by adding Carbolic Acid 

 (the crude material, dry to get a good strength) one part 

 to 5 or 7 parts of the soap solution similar to that used in 

 making the Kerosene Emulsion. The liquid is to be 

 churned in the same manner as the Kerosene Emulsion, to 

 form an Emulsion. This Carbolic Acid Emulsion is one of 

 the best preparations to protect plants against lice and 

 fruit trees against borers. It can be sprayed upon the 

 trunks of fruit trees or rubbed on by means of a cloth. 

 Every fruit tree should be treated in this way, especially 

 the young trees, about two weeks after the trees blossom. 



Tobacco Decoction is made by adding refuse tobacco, 

 which can be obtained at small cost from tobacco factories, 

 to boiling Avater, in the proportion of one pound of tobacco 

 to two or three gallons of boiling water. As soon as the 

 water has cooled, strain out the tobacco, and the decoction 

 is then ready to use. It is to be sprayed upon the leaves, 

 and is an efiectual remedy against the striped flea beetle> 

 and the cucumber, watermelon and squash flea beetles. It 

 will also drive away some bugs from similar plants. It is 

 also valuable as an insecticide against lice and ticks upon 

 domestic animals, and has the advantage over Kerosene 

 Emulsion in that it leaves the hair in better condition. 



Bisulphide of Carbon is a liquid that is of great use in de- 

 stroying the Phylloxera of grape, ants, insects in stored 

 grain, and other insects which can be reached by means of 

 a vapor. For Phylloxera and ants it is to be poured upon 

 the top of the ground above them. 



For grain insects and insects affecting clothing, it is 

 placed in shallow dishes and kept in the closed room. The 

 vapor from this liquid is extremely explosive, and must 

 not be used in a room near the least trace of fire, even a 

 lighted cigarette may cause a great explosion. Bisulphide 

 of Carbon can be had from the manufacturer for froTU 10 to 

 12 cents per pound in 50 pound cans.
