Toronto, The Sprayieg of Fleets for the Pre- vention of lajimy by auseets and Dimeme. Aet this season of the sane particu- lar attention shouldbe paid to ,the prevention of ;wages by disansa and insect pests. It is postible by a, timely application of the Proton sperms to control eitactivela many of our eaorst diseases and peets.'s 'Spray =aerials may be divided into -three dames. First, •there are the fungicides, such as •Bordeaux iniatuai and lime sulphur' wasb, which are used to control or to pre- vent the development of fungus dos - eases such as Apple Scab and Po- tato Blight, Secohdly, there are poison sprays, such as lead arsenete, for the central of biting insects, such aa' the Potato Beetle, Tent Caterpil- lars, etc., and, thirdly, the contact sprays, such as kerosene emulsion or nicotine eulphate, for the control of sucking insects, like plant lice. ' By selecting the proper sprays under eath of these three headings, a combined spray containing all three can be used, and thus, in a single application, one has a fungicide and a Menplete intecticida coinbined. 'As good* combined 'spray es made up a follows:' 4-4-40 Bordeaux, caesisting of 4 pounds unslaked lime, 4. pounds copper salphate, 'and 40 gallons .of water, to Which is Added 3 pounds of arsenate of lead or 2.pounds of arsen- ate of lime in paste form Of the dry form is used, use one-half this quan- tity) for controlling biting insects, and if aphids or plant lice, are pees - eat, one-third of a pint of nicotine sulphate should be added ole as an alternative; the lime' 'sulphur could replace the Bordeaux mixture. .Do not elelaa the application until the disease or pest has become evi- dent by its ravages, but make the application in, time to prevent the damage. An application of sacay is net a cure, it'is•a'preventative. Do not think that one application is sufficient. Remember that at this season of the year foliage grows rapidly and a large amount of new leaf surface is soon exposed after an application is made, and it is this new uncoated surface ,which is a source of infection. Three or four sprays during the season will be nec- essary to keep the leaves covered and the plants free from disease and pests. . Make the applications thoroughly, drenching all parts of the plant with a fine, mist -like spray. A coarse spray is not as effective as a finely divided one. If you have not already done so, make a.pplication .at once to your nearest Expeeimental Farm. or Dim trict Representative for a Spray Calendar, or apply -direct to the Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. These calendars will give you full instructions as to mixing and apply- ing sprays for the control of all pests and diseases. Don't delay. Do it now/ Marketing Veal. When good veal calves are to be sold it sometimes pays better to kill and dress them on the farm and•sell to local dealers rather than to turn them over to live stock shippers, Re- cently we sold a dressed veal to a local dealer for twenty-four cents per pound, and it weighed one hun- dred and four pounds; it brought $24.96. It was the type of calf that most live stock buyers would have examined and bought for $18 to $20. In deessing this calf -at home there was some blood and scraps that could be used as poultry feed. The heart and -tongue made two good meals on the home table. aila course, the liver calf is "lest" in transit there will bo a Chance ef collecting for it, Veal ip moat be t ° aulgsiopaysllYi tboef°01a.arel)fetti shiweigh the caroms as this avoid80 mieunderstandings When the retie arrive.

The burning of the infected bird *prevents the body being dug up by by a dog and left soihewhere on the farm where the hens have access to it. If a diseased fowl is buried it should be put down far enough to prevent its being recovered by the scratching or rooting of animals. On some farms very little attention is given to animals that inay 'die: A dead sheep or peg maY be left in the field and dogs may bring pieces of it to the poultry range. At butchering thne all waste products E,hould be buried or *burned tb keep the .poultry from eating pieces of epoiled meat that they may find several months after butchering time when its con- dition will cause death or severe ill- ness in the flock. A poultryman must also watch the conditions on neighboring farms as dogs sometimes carry pieces of half - spoiled meat from one farm to an- other. An occasional inspeetion of evever part of the poultry range shoeld be a part of the regular work on the farm as it may save the lives of many of the birds. 41.••••••••••• The Value of a Clover Sad for t .

Furthermore, the acids pr auced during the decomposition o humus exert a sailvent action on th mineral soil compounds, liberatin phosphoric acid, potash, etc., in a similable forms.

For its valuable germination, cor demands a warm seedbed, and to lac of this essential condition many fail ures aro due.. Corn makes a rapid succulent growth and—like all leaf crops—imbibes and transpires wate freely, requiring therewith a banal ful supply of nitrogen arid minera fof the building up of its tissues. A good crop of red clover (cut fo hay) is an ideal foreruimer of 'coin the decaying residues of clover stems /eaves and roots furnish a large am ount of humus rich in nitrogen Clover, alfalfa, and other legume possess the unique faculty of assimil ating atmospheric nitrogen and thu of enriching the soil in that valuabl element.
