Bordeaux Mixture. 



Bordeaux mixture i.s the atandani rem- 

 edy for all the various forms of luiigus 

 diseases, such as sliot liole fiin{;us in tin- 

 apricot, curl leaf of the jieacli, apple 

 scab, brown spot in the apple, etc., and 

 is so often recommended for these dis- 

 eases that every fruitgrower should have 

 the formula at his fint;ers' ends. For 

 this reason we herewith present the most 

 approved formula for prejiarinc it. Cut 

 it out and paste it in ynur commonplace 

 book, and when Bordeaux mixture is 

 recommended for any fungus or other 

 disease you can turn to it without trouble : 

 Copper sulphate (blue vitriol) 4 pounds 

 Quicklime (not air-slaked). . 4 poundt- 

 Water, to make 50 gallons 



Dissolve the copper sulphate in about 

 two gallons of hot water contained in a 

 wooden vessel, by stirring, or even bettor 

 by suspending the sulphate contained in 

 a cheese-cloth sack in a large bucketful 

 of cold water. With the cold water ami 

 cheese-cloth bag a longer time is re- 

 cpiired. Pour the sul|)liate solution into 

 the barrel or tank used for spraying, and 

 fill one-third to one-half full of water. 

 Slack the lime by addition of a small 

 quantity of water, and when slaked, 

 cover freely with water, and stir. Pour 

 the milk of lime thus made into the cop- 

 per sulphate, straining it through a brass 

 wire strainer of about thirty meshes to 

 the inch. Pour more water over the re- 

 maining lime, stir, and pour into the 

 other; repeat this operation until all the 

 lime, except stone lumps or sand, is 

 taken up in the milk of lime. Now add 

 water to make .lO gallons in the tank. 

 After thorough agitation the mixture is 

 ready to apply. The mixture must be 

 made fresh before using, and any left 

 over for a time should lie thrown out or 

 fresh lime added. 



Time to Move Bees. 



The best time to move your bees is 

 early in spring, at any time when the 

 weather is mild. Whether raising ex- 

 tracted honey is more profitable than 

 comb honey depends upon the market 

 yon intend to supply. Ordinarily, comb 

 honey sells the best from the fact that 

 extracted honey is a new thing in many 

 localities, and recpiires extra labor to 

 work up a trade for it. The hives known 

 at present as the "dovetail hives" are the 

 latest and best hives, and in fact there 

 are scarcely any others now offered. The 

 one-pound section is the most popular, 

 and should have two openings, so that 

 you can use two tiers of them at the same 

 time. With but one opening, you would 

 have to confine them in but one tier, and 

 they could not be interchanged. — Prac-
