fore hand ; and in proper strengt'hs costs 

 about a quarter of a cont per gallon. Bor-

 a cent per gallon. 



Lime-Sulphur vs. Bordeaux 



(Continued from page 50) 

 Summing up these points, then, we find 

 that Paris green should not be jised with 

 commercial limo-sulphur and that, while 

 arsenate of lead may be used, the chemical 

 changes that take place make it no better 

 than arsenite of lime, which is very much 

 cheaper and should therefore be used. In a 

 word there cannot be the same freedom in 

 adding arsenicals to lime-sulphur that there 

 is in adding them to Bordeaux, but in ar- 

 senite of lime we have a good cheap arsen- 

 ical that may be safely combined. 



THE COST 



There is still one more point to take into 

 consideration ; namely, the comparative cost 

 of the lime-sulphur mixture and of Bor- 

 deaux. If the materials used are bought in 

 large quantities, they can be obtained at 

 the following prices: Sulphur, $1.50 a hun- 

 dred-weight ; or one and one half cents a 

 pound ; lime, twenty-five cents a bushel of 

 about sixty pounds ; bluestone (copper sul- 

 phate), five cents a pound. 



At these figures one barrel of the self- 

 boiled lime-sulphur of the strength of ten 

 pounds of lime and ten pounds of sulphur 

 to forty gallons of water will cost : Lime, 

 five cents ; sulphur, fifteen cents ; fuel used 

 . to boil the water required for slaking the 

 lime, about two cents; total, twenty-two 

 cents. 



One barrel of Bordeaux, 4.4.40 formula, 

 will cost : Lime, two cents ; bluestone, twenty 

 cents; total twenty-two cents. The Vanco
