Directions for Preparing this Spray Material at Home 
Cost and Method of Mixing—Highly Concentrated 
Solution Described. 
Investigations for the purpose of encouraging or- 
chardists in the preparation of lime-sulphur concentrates 
for their own use or in the neighborhood have led to the 
wide use of this spray material, says the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 197, “Homemade Lime- 
Sulphur Concentrate.” It is of relatively little impor¬ 
tance except for economy in storage space how dense or 
heavy a concentrated solution is made because it can Ik 
readily diluted in conformity with the purpose for 
which it is to be used. To do this a Baume hydrometer 
is used, the stem of which lias a graduated scale. When 
the hydrometer is introduced into the concentrated lime- 
sulphur it sinks to varying depths according to the 
density of the liquid. In the experiments conducted it 
was found the Baume hydrometer should register 33 to 
34 degrees in the highly concentrated solution, as later 
here described. A great variation in density, from 25 to
