Substitute for Self-Boiled Lime-Sulphur 
For several years past the self-boiled 
lime-sulphur has been popular as a spray 
for peach and plum after the buds have 
opened. This milder form of lime-sul¬ 
phur does not injure the foliage, while it 
does destroy many disease germs. The 
spray is prepared by partial cooking, us¬ 
ing the heat of the lime as it slakes, and 
without the usual boiling. There have 
been many reports of trouble and of poof 
results, due largely to a lack of uniform¬ 
ity in cooking. Now the Ohio Experiment 
Station proposes a substitute of lime, 
sulphur and ground glue, which is pre¬ 
pared as follows. It is said to give good 
results when the self-boiled mixture is 
needed: 
Lime-sulphur glue is a useful substitute 
for self-boiled lime-sulphur. The formula 
is: Flowers of sulphur (very fine), 8 
lbs.; hydrated or mason’s lime, 4 lbs.; 
ground glue. 1*4 to 2 ox .; water to make 
50 gals. 
Dissolve the glue in 3 gals, of boiling 
water. Mix thoroughly the lime and sul¬ 
phur, and add slowly to the glue water, 
stirring constantly. Stir until all lumps 
are broken up and the mixture attains a 
batter-like consistency. Pour through 
strainer into the spray tank, and add Ava- 
tor to make 50 gals, of mixture. For use 
on peach and plum as substitute for self- 
boiled lime-sulphur. 
This is generally known as the “Jersey 
lime-sulphur-glue,” having been first used 
at the New Jersey Experiment Station. 
It has given excellent results when used 
for brown rot.

Arsenate Spray and Pastured Cattle 
I have a seven-year-old apple orchard 
situated partly on grazing ground and 
meadow, and I fear using arsenate of lead 
spray for codling moth and advanced sea¬ 
son's spraying. p. e. c. 
I New Milford, Conn. 
I 
This question comes up every year, and 
we have often discussed it and called for 
experience. There are but a few cases 
reported where cattle or other stock have 
been poisoned when running in sprayed 
orchards. We have no record of such a 
case where the spraying was properly 
done. The reputed cases of injury have 
occurred where, for some reason, more 
than the usual quantity of poison spray 
Avas used. In some cases the drippings 
from the tank Avere poured ou the ground. 
In others the nozzles Avere laid on the 
ground and permitted to “blow off,” thus 
making a huge spot on the grass, or some 
tree Avould be sprayed until the liquid ran 
down in a stream. Some cattle seem 
“possessed” Avith a desire to lick up these 
spots, and they have been known to find 
enough poison in this way to kill them¬ 
selves. Under ordinary conditions, and 
with proper spraying, we should have lit¬ 
tle fear of danger. We plan to keep the 
moves danger.

Calves Poisoned by Paint 
An experience I have had with a couple 
of calves may prevent a similar occur- 1 
rence for some of your readers. A calf 
born February 14 was found dead on the 
morning of February 27. This calf had 
been fed about four quarts of milk twice 
a day and a heaping tablespoonful of calf 
meal. From the appearance of the bed¬ 
ding there had been considerable thrash¬ 
ing around. Ou March 10 I bought a 
two-day-old calf and placed it in the same 
pen. after thoroughly cleaning it. I fed 
this calf the same as the first, but used 
no calf meal, as I suspected the meal 
lad in some way been the cause of the 
death of the first calf. This morning, 
March 21, I found the calf struggling in 
the pen. as the first one might have done. 
I called a A’eterinarian, and five minutes 
after his arrival the calf died. The doc¬ 
tor had taken its temperature, and found 
a registration of almost 112 degrees. In 
the afternoon A\’e examined the calf and 
found in the stomach layers of curdled 
milk, tough and leathery. There was also 
.‘omething that resembled specks of lime. 
Examining the pen, we found a door 
which had been made of boards that at 
one time had been part of the cornice of 
a house. These boards had paint on 
them, which had weathered and was finely 
checked, so that Avith hard rubbing it 
came free. The calves had licked these 
painted boards until about half had either 
fallen to the floor or had been swallowed 
by them, causing the milk to act as dis¬ 
covered in the stomach. Both calves the 
night previous to death were lively and 
ate as freely as at any time.
