HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS. 



(Concluded from page 16.) 

 sons not acquainted with its poisonous 

 properties. Only a grade which is 

 ninety-eight to ninety-nine per cent pure 

 should be used. 



Sulphuric acid should not come in con- 

 tact either with hands or clothes, as it 

 will severely bum the flesh and ruin the 

 clothes. It must not be placed in metal 

 receptacles, as it will soon eat them to 

 pieces. 



Always put the water into the jars first, 

 adding the acid later. Never pour water 

 into the undiluted acid. After placing 

 it in the jars the bags of cyanide should 

 be added as soon as possible, for any de- 

 lay will interfere with the proper reac- 

 tion of the chemicals, owing to the fact 

 that the acid acts most powerfully when 

 it &rBt unites with the water. The man- 

 ner of putting the cyanide into the acid 

 is also important. The bags should not 

 be held a foot or more above the jars 

 and dropped in, as the concussion might 

 cause them to be thrown out by the reac- 

 tion. Each bag must be carefully laid 

 in the jar; but the fumigator must not 

 lean over the jar aa he does it, nor re- 

 main near it to watch the reaction. 



The best-shaped jar, when using two 

 ounces of cyanide to a jar, is one four or 

 five inches in diameter and about nine 

 inches high. If more cyanide is to be 

 used in each receptacle, a larger jar must 

 be used. 



The foliage of plants to be fumigated 

 riiould be perfectly dry; otherwise it 

 win absorb the gas and be burned. 



Fumigate in the cooler part of the 

 day, and avoid, if possible, a temperature 

 above 60 to 65 degrees, since at a higher 

 one plants are more liable to be injured. 



After a few fumigations the operator 

 often becomes less attentive to the pre- 

 BCribed directions and precautions. This 

 tendency should be promptly checked, the 

 utmost care and caution being uniformly 

 exercised.
