INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 
Kerosexe Emulsion.—K erosene, two gallons; 
whale-oil soap, one-half pound; water, one gallon. 
Dissolve the soap by heating In the water, when 
boiling hot remove from the tire and add the kero¬ 
sene. Churn or stir It thoroughly for 5 to 15 mlnu’es; 
this Is best done by one of the small pumps. This 
will keep for a long time. When used, dilute accord¬ 
ing to the plants upon which It Is used. For tender 
plants, one part to 25 or 30 of water. For hardier 
plants, use stronger. One part to 10 of water makes 
a strong wash. 
White Hellebore. —Used principally for the cur¬ 
rant and similar worms. Dust on dry, either pure or 
diluted, or used In water, one ounce to two gallons. 
Bordeaux Mixture—T here are several form¬ 
ulas, varying In strength. One strong enough for 
most purposes Is one-quarter pourtd each of copper 
sulphate and lime to each gallon of water. For 
potatoes, Paris-green may be mixed with this at the 
rate of one-half pound to 50 gallons. To make the 
Bordeaux Mixture, suspend the copper and lime in 
separate casks of water In coarse gunny sacks, and 
allow them to remain Immersed for several hours, 
or for an entire day. When ready to mix pour the 
liquid from each into a 50-gallon cask, and till up 
with water. Wooden vessels are best, as these 
chemicals corrode ordinary metals. 
Tub H. N.-Y.’s preferred formula Is considerably 
weaker than this: one ounce of copper sulphate, 
and three-quarter to one ounce of lime to each gal¬ 
lon of water. Tnls Is not so likely to Injure tender 
plants as the stronger solutions. 
WE* WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW ! 
If you don’t see what you want , ask for it. 
Killing Bose Bugs.—T he rose bugs are very 
plentiful in this section: they are destroying the 
peaches and other fruits. How can they be de¬ 
stroyed ? JOHN M1NXIQ. 
Ans —-pray them with hot water at a temperature 
of from 122 to 130 degrees. That Is, the water should 
be at this temperature when It reaches them. It will 
need to te several degrees higher wnen It Is put Into 
the sprayer. 
Conquering Cabbage Worms.—Is there any 
remedy that can oe used to destroy the cabbage 
worm (that is the green worm from the small white 
butterfly) that will not Injure the plant or be Injur¬ 
ious to the consumer? If so, what Is it and now 
should It be applied? f. v. c. 
Ans.—T his is an easy pest to overcome. Perhaps 
one of the simplest and easiest to apply, certainly 
one of the cheapest, is hot water applied with a com¬ 
mon garden sprinkler. It should be applied at a 
temperature of about 130 degrees, and will need to be 
near y or quite boiling hot when put into the sprink¬ 
ler. This will kill the worms without 1 jury to the 
cabbages. Test a few tlrat to see about the tempera¬ 
ture. The kerosene emulsion Is a good remedy when 
the plants are small, but should not be used when 
they are near maturity. Pyrethrum, Bubach or good 
Insect powder of any kind Is good diluted with six or 
eight times Its bulk of plaster or flour, and put on 
the plants with any kind of a powder gun or bellows. 
Repeat the applications at Intervals of a week or 10 
days. 
Big Turkeys.— 1 have heard of some turkeys that 
weigh 35 and 40 pounds apiece, but do not know what 
breed or where to get them; can The Rural tell 
me? I want some of the eggs for hatching. t t. 
Idaho. 
dans.—W e can't undertake to say where these 
heavy weights were. They were probably the Mam¬ 
moth Bronze, the gobblers of which breed some¬ 
times attain this weight. It Is altogether too late to 
do anything with eggs this year, out you may be able 
by watching poultry advertisements, or looking up 
the poultry at the fall fairs, to get track of some one 
who has the blids for sale. 
More Swelled Heads.—W hat ails my hens? 
Their heads swell and grow sore; some die after 
drooping around several days. Those that survive 
have become Dllnd in one eye; some hens with 
broods of chickens have been affected; the hens have 
lived, out some of the chickens have died. s. S. w. 
A.\s.—ltoup, probably the worst disease with 
which .he poultryman has to contend. It is usually 
caused by exposure to dampness, damp quarters be¬ 
ing the most fruitful source. A draft of air even 
through a tiny crack or knothole will also cause It. 
It Is much similar to a cold In a member of the 
human family, but manifests Itself In many forms. 
Probably the best remedy known Is the homeopathic 
spongla, 10 drops of the tincture to a quart of the 
drit king water. A few drops of carbolic acid added 
to the drinking water Is also good. If the mouth and 
throat are cankered, a pill of lard and kerosene oil 
is helpful, as is also an anointing of the head wit 
the same. A tiny drop of kerosene, or, better, crude 
petroleum, Injected into the nostrils with a sewing 
machine oil can Is recommended. The birds should 
be kept warm and dry all the time. If any of them 
are very badly affected, it Is little use to doctor, as 
they can seldom be permanently cured. Those which 
have once had the disease in a bad form seem always 
subject to disease, and many of them gradually 
waste away with what appears consumption. 
More Careless Headers.—I n a recent Issue of 
The B. N.-Y. I read your account of Mr. A. J. Hal- 
lock’s duck farm. I would like to get some eggs from 
him, but, as you forgot to give his address, 1 would 
like to have you ask him If he can furnish me, and 
the price. I would forward this, but don’t know what 
It Is, so they will have to be sent C. O. D.-. 
Ans.—M r. Hallock’s address is Speonk, Long 
Island, N. Y., just as It was given In good, plain 
type, except that the State was not mentioned. It is 
supposed that every school boy knows In what State 
to find Long Island. The prices which he obtains 
for Incubator eggs were also mentioned, as was also 
the fact that he couldn't begin to fill his orders, and 
had returned about as much money as he had kept; 
so any one can see that he isn’t likely to be sending 
out eggs C. O. D. This is a sample of several letters 
received, all of about the same tenor, and this must 
be the answer to them all. Thinking that conditions 
might have changed, we wrote Mr. Hallock, but he 
said that he couldn’t sell any more eggs this season. 
He will have birds for sale, however, and those who 
are Interested can learn from him as to their prices, 
as well as those for eggs next year.
