BRUSH BURNER. 
The question of handling trimmings 
is often a tough one with the fruit 
grower. It is a nuisance to drag them 
out of the orchard for burning, while 
a large, hot fire in the orchard often 
injures the trees. Mr. Wm. Miller, an 
Ohio fruit grower, has devised the burn¬ 
er shown at Fig. 84. It can be made of

Don’t use an immense tank, either 
elevated or buried, for storing

YX7TTH the Perry System, the water stays in the well until it is needed. Continuous 
v pressure in the pipes at all times, same as city supply. The Perry System forces 
water from the source of supply to the faucets by direct air pressure. It stores com¬ 
pressed air, which is the power that forces the water from the cylinders of the pneu¬ 
matic pump. This stored air is reserve power, making it necessary to operate 
the compressor only occasionally; therefore the motor, engine, or whatever power 
employed may, in the meantime, be used for other purposes. 
One air-compressing outfit will supply both hard and soft water, if desired. 
Easy to install and operate. 
The Perry System is adapted for open or driven wells, Jakes, rivers or springs.

ready to be put where needed. 
SPRAYING NOTES. 
The most important thing connected with 
spraying is to know when to spray, what 
to spray for and what to use. If the 
orchard had scale or blister mite, spray 
when the buds are swelling, witli lime- 
sulphur 1 to 10. For the apple scab, spray 
just before the blossoms come out, with 
lime-sulphur, one to DO or 35; and again 
immediately after the blossoms fall, one to 
40, and add three pounds of arsenate of lead 
to 50 gallons. If cold and wet after, re¬ 
peat with same in two weeks. Thorough¬ 
ness in doing the work is very necessary. 
Have a good pump with strong pressure, 
and cover every bud and leaf, but be care¬ 
ful not to drench the tree. It requires 
much experience and care to put just the 
right amount on the tree. If you put 
on too much you may injure the foliage 
and may cause a dropping of the fruit, 
especially if rainy or trees are wet. Try 
to spray in fair weather. Farmers fail 
because they are doing some other work 
when they ought to be spraying, and not 
doing thorough work. delos tenny. 
Monroe Co., N. Y. 
The most important essential to insure 
a success with spraying is that the owner 
of the orchard firmly makes up his mind 
to do the best job he is .capable of. The 
farmer who is “going to spray if he can 
get time for it,” or who is only willing 
to spend a limited time at it, say one 
day. .when it .would take two to do it 
right, is not apt to make a success. If 
corn planting time and spraying conflict 
better do the spraying first; next to har¬ 
vesting the crops spraying is the most im¬ 
portant work I have to do. One of the 
most common mistakes is not to put on 
enough of the liquid on the foliage; of 
course, that which runs on the ground 
does no good, but I have never seen any¬ 
one who could do a good job without hav¬ 
ing considerable on the ground. A com¬ 
mon mistake with beginners is a failure to 
have pump and all the material ready 
when the time comes. The time at which 
trees bloom is variable, better have things 
in place a month before they are needed 
than ia few days too late. For my own 
practice I have used Bordeaux mixture, 
four pounds bluestone, five pounds lime to 
| 50 gallons water, as a fimgicide, adding 
; two pounds arsenate of lead as an insecti¬ 
cide, spraying three times during the sea¬ 
son. Last year was the first I had the 
San Jose scale to contend with I used 
the lime and sulphur, boiling it vigorously 
for 40 minutes; found it nasty, disagreea¬ 
ble stuff to handle, and its having to be 
used as soon as made a great objection ; 
worst of all, not entirely effective. I 
found apples on one tree badly marked 
with scale at picking time. I shall be 
glad to hear from any of your readers 
who have used oil against this pest. 
Virginia. a. u. Lockhart. 
The first or so-called “dormant” spray 
is with 33 degrees lime-sulphur, one to eight 
for San Jose scale, or one to 10 for blister 
mite, at end of the dormant season, just 
before leaf growth begins. The second is 
an application of Bordeaux Mixture, 4-5-50. 
with two pounds high-grade arsenate of 
lead for apple scab, bud-moth and case- 
bearer, after blossom buds have separated 
and just before blossoms open. The third 
spraying is to be applied as soon as two- 
thirds of blossoms have fallen, to consist 
of 33 degrees lime-sulphur, in proportion 
one to 40, adding two pounds best arsen¬ 
ate of lead after spray tank is filled, and 
when ready to start pump, giving thorough 
agitation to insure thorough mixing. This 
application is for both Codling moth and 
apple scab, and is the most important one, 
and should be done very thoroughly. The 
third application might be repeated in 
three to four weeks. Purchase only high- 
grade materials from reputable manufac¬ 
turers, seek quality rather than price. 
Spray from at least three sides of trees, 
with the wind. c. E. w.

Spray, for I am sure it will pay; never 
mind the hay, you can save that some 
other day; for there is ho other way to 
save the fruit but to spray the right day 
and way, no difference what other say; 
and don't mind the cost, the fruit will see 
that you get your pay; that’s all I have to 
say. F. A. KENDALL.
