DomesticSprayersare not ordinary sprayers. They 
embody the experience of the largest and most 
successful orebardists. Pumps, valves, engine and 
nil other parts are made in our factory under the 
supervision of experts. 
An automatic agitator keeps the 
liquid in motion, while a small 
brush passes over the strainer at 
each revolution of the agitator 
and keeps the strainer from clog¬ 
ging. We can furnish you with 
a sprayer for every purpose

or four sprayings done otherwise. In 
saying thoroughly we should include the 
use of mixtures sufficiently strong to do 
the work for which they are intended, 
under the most adverse circumstances. 
If some manufacturing company tell us 
their brand of lime-sulphur will do the 
work rdeuced one to 10 we may not go 
amiss at one to eight. It is not ne¬ 
cessary to reduce dormant sprays to the 
very last limit of efficiency under the 
most favorable conditions. 
If a rainstorm arises before the spray 
has had time to become thoroughly fixed 
to the tree or plant, then we must of 
necessity repeat or in the application of 
the fungicides the application must be f 
sufficient frequency to keep the new ex¬ 
panding leaf covered with the material. 
By careful watchfulness, good judgment, 
and thoroughness of work, practically all 
our enemies to successful fruit production 
can be controlled. A. T. s. 
Spraying for Profits. 
My experience in spraying cucumbers, 
melons and all truck crops dates back 
some three or four years. I purchased 
a knapsack sprayer made of copper, and 
consider it one of the most profitable in¬ 
vestments I ever made. Bugs and blight 
cannot stand arsenate of lead and Bor¬ 
deaux mixture at the rate of 5-5-50, and 
they seek business elsewhere. Begin just 
as soon as the plants come up, for an 
ounce of prevention is better than a 
pound of cure. Spray often every week 
or 10 days, depending on the weather; if 
rainy and wet oftener because the plants 
grow fast, and to stamp out the blight 
and bugs you want to be there first. 
Cucumbers properly sprayed will bear 
from one week to 10 days longer than 
those not sprayed, to say nothing of the 
quality of the crop. The illustration 
on page 33S shows a vine sprayed for the 
last time and this patch netted the owner 
at the rate of $100 per acre, besides it be¬ 
ing an off year on account of rain.

Preparing for Strawberries. 
I have a half-acre, old strawberry 
patch plowed under with all the mulch 
and manure in 1912; planted to cabbage 
and sweet corn and sown to rye for Win¬ 
ter covering, in 1913; plowed rye in and 
coat of manure, then planted to melons 
and potatoes and other truck. Sowed to 
rye again. Wish to plant this patch to 
strawberries this coming Spring. What 
commercial fertilizer would you recom¬ 
mend for best results? The ground is a 
sandy loam and full of humus. D. w. P. 
Howard, Ohio. 
This is a good preparation for a straw¬ 
berry crop. We should plow the rye un¬ 
der in the Spring and be sure to roll or 
drag the ground down solid and firm. 
Unless you do this and firm the soil the 
air will work into the rye and dry out 
the ground badly. Pack it hard and then 
work up the upper surface into a fine bed. 
For fertilizer a good combination would 
be three parts by weight of fine ground 
bone and one part by weight of muriate 
of potash. We would use 500 pounds of 
this mixture to the acre, scatter it in a 
strip about two feet wide where the rows 
of berries are to be planted. Work it in 
with a cultivator, then set the plant and 
give thorough cultivation. 
Killing Insects With Electric Current. 
Do you think an electric machine could 
be attached to a weeder or some similar 
tool, and discharge a strong enough cur¬ 
rent at the ground end of the teeth to 
kill chinch bugs and other insects? 
Stuart. Okla. T. f. 
We think it very doubtful if an elec¬ 
tric machine of reasonable cost would 
have any particular effect in destroy¬ 
ing the insects in the soil as you describe. 
Such a machine might be devised to pull 
the weeder across the field, but it is very 
doubtful if the current distributed in 
this way would have any particular ef¬ 
fect upon the insects. For some years 
past there have been stories in the papers 
of a scheme for distributing electrified 
water for irrigation. It was claimed 
that this water had power to destroy 
many insects, but we have never been 
able to verify the statement, and entomo¬ 
logists have little faith in any such 
method.
