ARSENATE OF LEAD. 



(Poison.) 



Arsenate of Soda (50 degrees strength), four ounces. 



Acetate of Lead, 11 ounces. 



Water, 100 gallons. 



Put the arsenate of soda in two quarts of water, in a wooden 

 pail, and the acetate of lead in four quarts of water in another 

 wooden pail. When both are dissolved, mix with rest of the water. 

 Warm water in the pails will hasten the process. For elm leaf beetle 

 use 10 gallons instead of 100 gallons of water. 



As arsenate of lead has now an established place on the market 

 it will be cheaper and more satisfactory to procure the ready made 

 article from the drug store.
