The following mixtures have been found 
to be very effective in destroying all para- 
sites and insects on fruit trees: 
EEROSENE EMULSION.—This solution 
is used with great success in killing all 
sucking insects, such as scales, plant lice, 
and above all, the destructive Icterya 
Purchasi Maskell, or Cottony Cushion 
Seale, on orange or other fruit trees. 
This formula will be found the best: 
Dissolve half a pound of Whale Oil Soap 
in half a gallon of boiling water; then add 
1 gallon of kerosene oil, churn the mixture 
with a force pump until it forms a cream, 
which thickens upon cooling. For scale 
insects, dilute 1 part of the emulsion with 
9 parts of water. 
AMMONIACAL CARBONATE OF COP- 
PER SOLUTION.—Dissolve 3 ounces of 
copper carbonate in 1 quart of liquid am- 
monia and dilute to 27 gallons. 
ARSENATE OF LEAD.—Use paste in 
proportion of 2 pounds to 50 gallons of 
water, thoroughly mixing paste with small 
quantity of water first, and then diluting 
to proper strength: For such insects as 
eotton caterpillar, boll worm, etc., the 
powder form is preferable, but liquid 
should be used for fruit trees. A splendid 
insecticide for all leaf-eating insects. 
BORDEAUX MIXTURE.—Dissolve 4 
pounds of powdered sulphate of copper in 
4 gallons of boiling water. Slake 6 pounds 
of fresh lime in 4 gallons of hot water; 
mix both solutions thoroughly by pouring 
them together into third vessel so that the 
two streams will intermingle as they fall. 
Then strain them through a fine sieve, and 
before using dilute to 50 gallons, being 
sure to keep solution well agitated while 
applying.
