LIME. SULPHUR AND SALT WASH.— TO MAKE FIFTY 

 GALLONS. 



Best unslaked lime 30 pounds. 



Flour sulphur 15 pounds. 



Stock salt 12 pounds. 



Water to make 50 gallons. 



DIRECTIONS. 



Place ten pounds of lime and all of the sulphur in a boiler containing 

 twenty gallons of water, and boil over a brisk fire for not less than one hour 

 and a half, or until the sulphur is thoroughly dissolved. When this takes 

 place the mixture will be of an amber color. Next place in a cask twenty 

 pounds of unslaked lime pouring over it enough hot water to thoroughly 

 slake it, and while it is boiling add the twelve pound3 of salt. When the 

 salt is dissolved, add the lime aua salt mixture thus prepared to the lime and 

 sulphur in the boiler, and cook for half an hour longer, when the necessary 

 amount of hot water to make the fifty gallons should be added. 



In pouring the wash into the barrel, it should be well strained to remove 

 any particleu of lime that may not have dissolved, and a fine wire strainer 

 should be used. This wash may be more conveniently cooked by the use of 

 steam, where a steam-engine or any kind is available. Many orchardiMs 

 could doubtless afford to purchase fmall steam boilers, as steam food-cooking 

 boilers, for tlie preparation of this wash. A boiler may be secured of suth- 

 cient size to cook two or three barrels of the wash at the same time, at a cost 

 of from thirty to forty dollars. Best results will come from the u«e of the 

 wash if applied to the trees in tne spring, somewhat' before the buds begin 

 to swell. It is a very caustic treatment and consequently can be used on 

 trees onl7 when in a practically dormant condition. 



The barrel " Pomona" and Frultall Spray Pumps are excellent for the 

 application of this wash. 



Itisea«entialthatthe pump have a strong agitator, otherwise the sedi- 

 ment will be inclined to settle on the bottom of the barrel.

How to Make INSECTICIDES 



FUNGICIDES. 



BORDEAUX MIXTURE. 



Copper Sulphate 6 pounds. 



Quicklime 4 pounds. 



Water ' 40 ' 60 e<*llons. 



Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting in a bag of coarse cloth and 

 hanging this in a vessel holding at least 4 gallons, so that it u just covered 

 by the water. Dse an earthen or wooden vessel. Slake the lime in an equal 

 amount of water. Then mix the two, and add enough water to make 40 gal- 

 lons. It is then ready for immediate use, but will keep indefinitely. U the 

 mixture Is to be used on peach foliage, it is advisable to use an extra pound 

 of lime to the above formula. When applied to such plants as carnations or 

 cabbages, it will adhere better if about a pound of hard soap be dissolved in 

 hot water and added to the mixture. For rots, molds, mildews, and all run.
