• : Notes on Practical Spraying : J 
(Concluded from page 351) l 
L..._.J 
Lime-Stjli’VUR is easily made at home. 
It is true the homemade will not be as 
concentrated as the commercial, but a 
hydrometer only costs a trifle, and a mo¬ 
ment’s figuring will show tho proper dilu¬ 
tion from any concentration. The same 
thing is true as regards lead arsenate, 
though not with tho force that applies to 
lime-sulphur, so far as cost is concerned, 
hut no one who has compared tho fine¬ 
ness of division and diffusion through the 
spray tank of the newly made arsenate 
and that prepared from the ordinary 
stock paste, would need any argument as 
to which is preferable. At the same price 
I would use the homemade. I have used 
zinc arsenite in place of load arsenate for 
two seasons, hut can see no advantage, 
and there was more russeting of tho ap¬ 
ples where it was used. The place that 
iron sulphide will take is still in doubt. 
It worked well with me in limited way, 
and T shall test it further, hut I am not 
willing yet to trust it unreservedly. If 
aphis of any sort appears in large num¬ 
bers the only thing I have found really 
I serviceable is a tobacco extract or the 
nicotine solution, which can ho safely 
^ added to the lime-sulphur and load-ar¬ 
senate solution. The drawback to its use 
is tho cost. The addition of nicotine adds 
a couple of dollars to the cost of each 
tankful of spray, and as aphis repro¬ 
duces with extraordinary rapidity, an¬ 
other application is likely to be needed in 
a couple of weeks, and the final result is 
that to treat the aphis is pretty expen¬ 
sive. My own practice is to disregard the 
aphis except when unusually bad. The 
ladybirds have kept down the numbers 
within bearable limits, except for occa¬ 
sional trees, and it saves considerable to 
spray only these unfortunates. 
Making Lime-Sulphur At Home.—• 
T think that a steam boiler is the ideal 
method of cooking lime-sulphur, hut wo 
have not yet got round to it, and as we 
make from 50 to 100 barrels of concen¬ 
trated solution each year, h.v the open 
kettle method, I see no reason why any¬ 
one with a moderate amount of spraying 
should not make his own, and save quite 
a little money. We have a large soap 
kettle, holding nearly 200 gallons, sot 
on a framework of stone, the bottom be¬ 
ing about a foot from the ground. We 
use trash or cord wood as fuel and find 
no difficulty in keeping up a boiling 
temperature. We start a fire with 25 to 
50 gallons of water in the kettle and 
when it warms up we add a hundred 
pounds of unslaked lime. We are par¬ 
ticular to get a lime as free from magne¬ 
sia as possible, as we need calcium- 
carbonate for the chemical work. As 
the lime slakes it helps to heat the water, 
and while it is boiling we add gradually 
200 pounds of powdered sulphur, and 
also add enough water to bring the 
amount up to or a little more than 100 
gnllons. Then we keep up a fire that 
will keep the kettle boiling steadily for 
about an hour, during which the mix¬ 
ture is stirred continually, or nearly so, 
and water is added as it is needed to 
keep the quantity lip to the hundred- 
gallon mark. Sometimes the boiling 
takes longer than others. We pay no at¬ 
tention to time, but when the sulphur 
is all dissolved, as shown by the color 
of the solution and h.v taking up a dip¬ 
perful of the solution and looking 
through it while pouring, if we see no 
particles of sulphur we call the work 
done, and ladle out the kettle into near¬ 
by barrels. We use open-headed bar¬ 
rels; the closed ones would be better, but 
as we use it. almost as soon as made we 
find the open barrels easier. After the 
solution is cold, each hatch is tested with 
a hydrometer, and it is then simple to 
dilute it to obtain the desired strength.

The lanky youth who occupied a seat 
in a passenger coach persisted in sticking 
his head and shoulders out of the win¬ 
dow. The hrakeinan was passing through 
the coach, and he touched the youth on 
the hack. “Better keep your head inside 
the window.” advised the brakeman. “I 
kin look out the winder if I want to,” 
answered the youth. “I know you can,” 
warned the brakeman. “But if you dam¬ 
age any of the ironwork on the bridges 
you’ll pay for it.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
