It is now conteudea that our appler are unsafe to use because, in the langu- age a one English tournal, " arsenic is Irma upon the fruit itself until it is completely saturated, and what is not absorbed by the Ain remains on it, forming a fine coating, which eventually be detrintentel to heelth, especially where the fruit is consumed to any extent." We have seen no such disparaging etatenients concerning English apples, though, as they are uow beginning to spray English orchards after the Ameri- can hishion, it would seem that the native fruit must etion ho85dangerous as the ulastiett peilliet.

Into the corners should be fitted boards with bevelled edges, the space behind packed with sawdust or grout. Over the entare 'smooth end perfectly air -tight surface of the interior thas ob- tained apply one or two. coats of linseed oil or of hot coal tat and resin (one gel. coal tar to 3 lb. resin). The floor may be made of cement or hard -packed clay well dried, and shoula be made level or a little. higher in the centre. Upon the floor spread la little cut straw before Putting in corn. No rough stone should be left exposed,but any foundation above the floor should also be covered with w sheeting. The alla should be left hollow.

If the silo is more than 16 feet long it is advisable to divide by removable plank partition.

It is difficult te arrive at any eat catimate of the amount of arsenic deposited on a tree when sprayed with this inisture, but if five gallons of the wesh :we used upon an =tinny tree (and this is an outside estimate of the e.e.seet required), one -thirtieth ot putt& or say 0158 of an ounce, of the poison will be left upon it, of which per- haps one-fifth will go upon the young apples themselves, the foliage and limbs receiving thereat. We should therefore bare a fraction more than one-tenth a an aunce of poison left upon the fruit Of an apple tree when live gallons of spray are used. It is recommended that the first spray- ing be done on the falling of theblossoms, the apples being about the size of peas nod that a sestina application be made about a week or ten days later. These two sprayings, at the rate of five gallons of wash per tree each time, will there- fore put a little more than one-fifth of an mice of poison on the app/es, each apple presumably receiving an equel share of the amount. The quantity of poison upou each apple is therefore very minute to begin with. But betweenthe last spraying and the gathering of the crop three cleansing influences are at work --rain, heavy dew, and the natural growth of the apple, each of which re- movea a part of the very small quantity originally sprayed upon it. Arsenic, in the form in which as -sprayed upon trees is simply suspended, and undergoes no chemical change, It can no more be "absorbed" through the skin of the apple than any other finely divided toineral substance. For example, where an apple tree is exposed to the dust of a road -side, it could hardly be claimed that its dusty fruit would be gritty or of earthly taste inside the elan. Men would hnre t eet many laurels of apples in order to get etinrigli areenie to poison him. roll 50, aggregate 717, average 48. 1'. A. Blows, Teacher. Dept. II, Sr—B.
