‘D.D.’—This is an agricultural journal 
—not a political one—so we cannot pub- 
lish your letter. 
©N.D.? Unley.—The proper time to 
prune flowering shrubs is directly after 
they have flowered, cutting away the 
shoots that have borne blossoms to make 
room for new shoots to bear flowers the 
next season. 
‘L. Cerne,’ Uraidla—This is a very 
good month for sowing lucerne. Sow 10 
to 12 lbs. of seed per acre broadcast, or 8 
The soil 
should be thoroughly pulverised before 
sowing, and the seed lightly covered. The 
proper time to cut lucerne is just when 
it comes into flower; it may be cut 
several times during the season. 
*P.S.’ North Adelaide.—Fowl’s dung 
may be used for all purposes for which 
-ordinary animal manures are used; but it 
must be used with great care, as it is of 
a very heating nature, and may burn 
the roots of plants to which applied. 
The best way of using this material is to 
mix it with dry earth, say, half of each 
and keep it in a perfectly dry condition 
for some months before using. For 
vegetables, especially for plants of the 
cabbage family, it is excellent; but it 
should not be used as a top dressing. In 
using fowls’ dung for carnations and 
flowers, generally it must be used with 
great caution. It makes a _ valuable 
liquid manure. No good object would 
be achieved by burying it in a mass in 
thejground. 
© Orchardist” Malvern.—An excellent 
winter dressing for apple trees is made by 
taking 40 Ib. of lime, 20 1b. sulphur, and 
60 gallons of water. Ths is made by 
boiling 50 gallons of water and adding 
10 1b. of lime. Then take the sulphur, 
and rub it through a fine sieve to crush 
all the small lumps. When thoroughly 
sifted mix small quantities of sulphur 
and water in a tub or bucket, gradually 
adding more, In this way the sulphur 
will become incorporated with the water 
instead of floating on the top of it, Add 
the sulphur thus mixed to the boiling 
water and lime, putting in further small 
quantities of lime, and stirring the 
ingredients well from the bottom as each 
lot is added. Boil well for 20 minutes 
and allow to cool. Salt is sometimes 
added, but the latest experiments have 
proved that its presence is not necessary.
