thoroughly  soaked,  but  it  seems  to  do  the 
work.  In  all  other  spraying  we  work 
with  the  wind,  the  more  wind  the  better 
so  long  as  the  men  can  stay  on  the  rig. 
Last  Spring  wo  sprayed  when  men  work¬ 
ing  a  hundred  rods  or  more  away  found 
the  spray  material  quite  annoying.  We 
usually  drive  east  and  west,  and  spray 
to  the  north  or  south,  and  depend  on  a 
change  of  wind  to  give  US  a  chance  at 
the  other  side  of  the  trees.  If  the  change 
does  not  come  we  have  usually  hit  one 
side  of  about  every  leaf  on  the  tree.  We 
never  try  to  spray  against  the  wind.  It 
is  not  an  effective  method,  and  spraying 
is  unpleasant  enough  without  it.

HTHE  new  practice  of  dusting  orchards  means  that  forty  acres  of 
fruit  trees  may  now  be  treated  in  one  day  with  better  results  than 
can  be  obtained  by  spraying. 
All  the  muss  and  trouble  of  spraying  is  eliminated  by  the  dust 
method. 
A  complete  dusting  oufit  weighs  less  than  1000  pounds  and  there  is 
no  “filling  ”or  hauling  water. 
By  the  dust  method  the  applications  may  be  made  at  the  critical 
times.  Positively  eliminates  the  danger  of  “burning.’’ 
It  costs  25'Zo  less  to  protect  the  orchard  by  dusting. 
It  will  pay  you  to  get  all  the  facts  about  The  Niagara,  the  A 
latest  improved  machine  for  dusting.

I  have  used  no  new  spray  machinery

the  new  sprayers  all  have  certain  ad¬

Sprayer  in  a  Vineyard 
will  nearly  all  do  good  work.  Select  one 
made  near  by,  so  as  to  be  able  to  secure 
repairs  quickly.  Spray  materials  I  be¬ 
lieve  to  be  very  much  like  varieties  of 
apples,  not  much  improvement  over  the 
“old  reliables”  has  been  made.  Many 
things  have  been  placed  on  the  market 
“to  sell.”  I  believe  farmers  should  deal 
lightly  in  these  until  their  experiment 
stations  toll  them  the  goods  are  made 
right  and  their  use  an  improvement  over 
old  methods.  It  appears  farmers  and 
fruit  growers  are  making  a  mistake  by 
not  consulting  or  securing  the  advice  of 
the  experiment  statiou  on  subjects  per¬ 
taining  to  .their  business.  You  pay  taxes 
to  support  these  stations,  you  are  en¬ 
titled  to  their  services.  If  you  don’t 
get  them  you  are  to  blame,  not  tbe  sta¬ 
tion.  I  have  always  found  the  officials 
courteous  and  glad  to  render  auy  as¬ 
sistance  possible. 
The  principal  thing  the  past  season 
has  taught  me  in  regard  to  spraying  is 
the  importance  of  thorough  application. 
You  may  have  the  best  rig  and  materials 
money  can  buy,  but  unless  you  apply  the 
spray  thoroughly  your  work  and  ma¬ 
terial  will  be  lost  to  the  extent  of  care¬ 
lessness  or  wrong  methods  of  application 
used.  To  begin  with,  tbe  average  farmer 
who  needs  live  barrels  of  lime  and  sul¬ 
phur  buys  and  uses  two  or  three  barrels, 
which  proves  that  he  intends  to  sprinkle 
his  orchard  instead  of  thoroughly  spraying 
it.  The  usual  way  of  applying  the  spray 
is  to  drive  through  the  orchard  and  spray 
each  side.  I  believe  there  are  very  few 
days  when  a  good  job  can  be  done  in 
this  manner,  after  many  years  of  work 
and  observation.  I  am  sure  that  a  really 
satisfactory  job  of  spraying  can  only 
be  done  by  spraying  with  the  wind. 
Spray  one  side  with  the  wind,  and  then 
wait  until  the  wind  comes  from  the  op¬ 
posite  directions,  theu  spray  the  other 
side.  You  will  not  have  to  wait  as  long 
as  you  will  ordinarily  expect  to  secure 
the  breeze  from  the  opposite  direction, 
at  least  not  in  Western  New  York.  You 
will  find  that  you  have  not.  only  done 
twice  as  effective  work,  but  have  also 
removed  one  of  the  most  disagreeable 
features  of  tbe  work.  Instead  of  putting 
the  spray  on  yourself  and  team  where 
it  is  not  needed,  you  have  put  it  on  the 
trees  where  so  badly  needed.
