For a very finely divided spray the Vermorel nozzle seems the best of any tested at the Station, says F. II. Hall, Geneva, N.

HARRIET, SI'RAYRR— and fitted with proper connec- SUitki>tomi?i>ium-sizb tions, seems the lightest and ouciiak»s simplest means for raising the nozzles ; this with a light framework tower erected in the w;igon 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 the best and most useful of all known fungicides for general use. Bordeaux Mixture.—Four 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.
