The Non-clog, the Mistry and several other nozzles, are also popular, either in the single, double or triple form. A light bamboo pole, enclosing a brass tube and fitted with proper connections, seems the si^ed to l^mJ^-^zn lightest and simplest means for orchards raising the nozzles; this with a light framework tower erected in the wagon or cart upon which the operator may stand, will usually afford sufficient elevation for even tall trees. Spraying mixtures are divided into two classes : Fungicides and insecticides. Often, however, it is practicable to unite the two into one spray—and thus fight both fungus and insects at the one operation. A mixture of Bordeaux solution and an arsenical poison, is a good example of such a combination. Bordeaux mixture is one of the best and most useful of all known fungicides for general use. Bordeaux Mixture.—Three pounds of sulphate of copper, four pounds of quicklime, fifty gallons of water. First, dissolve the copper sulphate. The easiest, quickest way to do this, is to put it into a coarse cloth bag and suspend the bag in a receptacle.
