the paste when it becomes useless and must be renewed. Pollard,

For making the fruit syrup, about 4lbs. of ripe fruit, peaches 
or oranges preferable—windfalls or reject fruit will do—are crushed, 
boiled for one hour in one gallon of water. Strain, add the Molasses 
dissolved in one gallon of warm water ; reduce to 5o0z. of powdered 
arsenate of lead or its equivalent: 4lb. of the paste to the con- 
sistency of milk, mix the ingredients and bring up the volume of 
the bait to four gallons. Stir when using as a spray on a few 
branches, preferably on the sunny side of the tree. Start the 
spraying five or six weeks before the fruit ripens and renew the 
application every week. Avoid spraying too often in one place— 
sugar instead of molasses attracts bees. Mix this bait fresh, or 
it will ferment. 
SPRAYING Pumps. 
Until the mildew appeared in the European vineyards, the 
only spraying pumps known were somewhat after the fashion of 
those toy scent-atomizers used by hairdressers, and were almost 
entirely used in conservatories, for spraying rare and exotic plants.
