while feeding on the leaves, or in the 

 calyx, or on the sides of the fruit. Paris 

 green is probably the best known of 

 these arsenicals. It is a definite chem- 

 ical compound of arsenic, copper, and 

 acetic acid, and should have a uniform 

 composition. It is a rather coarse pow- 

 der, and has the fault of settling rapid- 

 ly. It costs about 20 cents a pound. It 

 may be prepared for spraying as fol- 

 lows: 



Parl8 green pounds 1 



Lime pounds 3 



Water gallons 150 



The lime should be fresh and should 

 be slaked in (jtTantities as required. Mix 

 the Paris green with a little water until 

 a paste is formed, and then add this to 

 the required amount of water, to which 

 the lime has been added. A good aver- 

 age strength to use is one pound to 150 

 gallons, but it must be weaker on trees 

 with delicate foliage. 



SPRAYING WITH ACETYLENE. 



Mention was made some months ago 

 in the Journal of an apparatus used for 

 spraying plants with a mixture of acety- 

 lene lime and copper compounds. The 

 idea was to use this instead of the wide- 

 ly employed Bordeaux mixture familiar 

 to horticulturists. The plan included the 

 use of the natural pressure arising from 

 the production of acetylene for forcing 

 the liquid mixture on the plants. We 

 have had accounts from Europe, also 

 from South Africa, of the success of 

 this, the Laurens, invention. Now we 

 learn from the Algerian acetylene jour- 

 nal that this new spraying system has 

 found extensive and successful employ- 

 ment in Algeria. The apparatus is said 

 to be used at various agricultural sta- 

 tions, more especially in the places where 

 the vine is cultivated. The apparatus is 

 simply a portable closed cylinder filled 

 with a solution of copper sulphate, a 

 charge of carbide being brought into 

 contact with the liquid when required to 

 force the products of the chemical reac- 

 tions out through a flexible pipe and jet.
