May 10, 1900. these requisites in a season like the last is the main reason why bee-keep- ers who content themselves with stick- ing' an empty box on their hives get little or no honev. E. S. Lovksy. Salt Lake Co.,'Utah. Vicious Advice on Spraying Fruit. A few weeks ago I received a circu- lar from a prominent manufacturer of spraying pumps, offering to sell at re- duced prices if ordered within 30 daj's, and also stating on an extra slip that he had a secret on spraying which had produced wonderful results where used last season ; and if the extra slip were returned with the order for a sprayer, the secret would be sent with it. Being in need of a spraj'er, and hav- ing used one of his manufacture,which I borrowed from a neighbor, and know- ing it to be-good, I took advantage of his offer and ordered one forthwith. The machine was promptly sent, as per his offer, and is all right; but the wonderful secret is simply vicious and detestable, especially from a bee- keeper's standpoint; it is simply to give one spraying w/ien the trees are in full bloom. How does that strike you ? Here is what he says : " The second spraviugr, and which I consider the most necessary, is to spray the trees when they are in full bloom, using for this applica- tion the , and adding- thereto Paris-g-reeu in the proportion of one pound to 160 gallons of Bordeaux mixture. I strongly urge this point of spraying in full bloom, not- withstanding the objections which have been raised to it. Orchards which have been sprayed, which have been given this spraying in full bloom this past year, the results have been simply wonderful, in most cases the trees being overloaded, with scarcely a wormy or scabby apple, pear or plum to be ; This is simply an overdrawn picture of the results of such spraying, and the man giving such advice is an enemy to both the bee-keeper and the fruit-grower.
