FOIt RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY.
For the anthracnose of the blackcaps
and the yellow rust of the blackberry,
use the concentrated solution of sulphate
of copper before the buds open. Then
spray with the Bordeaux mixture one-
half strength, or the ammoniacal car
bonate of copper before the blossom buds
unfold, and two or three timeB after the
fruit has been gathered, at intervals of
two or three weeks. The first disease
nttacks the canes principally, and more
attention in spraying should be given to
them than to the leaves.
FOR THE STRAWBERRY.
Spray 'with tho Bordeaux mixture,
one-half streugth and Paris green one

Spraying for Blight.
The following interesting matter should
(have appeared in our last report, but
'was omitted on account of the unusual
(amount of matter before ns:
FOB THE APPLE.
Spray for the destruction of the spores
•of the apple scab and leaf blight, with
• sulphate of copper—blue vitriol—one
ipound to 25 gallons of water or Hulphate
«of iron—copperas—one pound to two
jgallons water.
For destruction of the tent caterpillar,
=cankt*r worm and bud moth, use the
Bordenx mixture, one-half strength with
Paris green, one pound to 150 gallons
liust before the blossoms unfold, and for
(the same and the codling moth as soon
-as the petals have fallen.
Make S third application of the Bor-
'deanx mixtnro and Paris green in about
ffcwo wooks from the time the petals fall,
should there huvo been heavy rains since
fthe last application, then use the ammo-
■niacal carbonate of copper one pound to
•50 gallons of water at intervals of from
4wo to four weeks, according to the
•■weather, until tho middle of August.
We would recommend the trial of sul
phate of copper, one pound to 500 and
1800 gallons of water after the middle of
.June. Should no rain occur after the
•use of any fungicide or insecticide, no
further application need be made until
it does rain; but if the interval has been
long, spraying should immediately fol
low a heavy rain.
FOR THE FEAR.
For the pear scab leaf blight, and
■■sucking of the lruit and coddling moth,
'the same treatment should be given as
for the apple, except that no Paris green
need be used until after the petals have'
fallen, and only two applications of that
.need be made.
If the pear tree psyllu should appear,
spray tho trees thoroughly with kerosene
■ emulsion, one part to twenty parts water.
FOR THE PLUM.
Wo would advise the same treatment
(.as given to the apple and pear, for the
jplum leaf blight, black wart and the
fruit rot. For tho plum curculio use
;theBordeaux mixture, one-half strength,
’with Paris green one pound to 200 gal
lons. One application of Jhe ammoni-
-acal carbonate of copper should be made
(after the middle of August, to prevent
<he rotting of the fruit and the leaf
blight.
FOR THE PEACH.
To destroy the plum curculio, spray
wjth the Bordeaux mixture, one-fourth
■strength, and Paris green one pound to
200 gallons. For the fruit rot, spray
■with the ammoniacal carbonate of cop-
■per, one pound to 50 gallons of water.
Try the sulphate of copper, one pound
»to 100 gallons of water for the fruit rot.
FOB THE ORAPE.
Spray with the concentrated solution
of sulphate of copper every part of the
vines and trellis before the buds uiJold.
Just before the blossom buds unfold,
epray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-
half strength, with Paris green, one
p{rand to , 100_ gallons. As soon as the

STRAWBERRIES.
Will you please tell me how to make
a strawberry bed J H. L. I.,
Marietta, Ga.
In making a strawberry bod yon
should first select soil ae near as possible
adapted to the plant. Select rich, well
drained moist land, though if unable to
obtain to this by a liberal uso of manure
you will l>e able to secure good crops.
PREPARATION,
Thorough preparation is essential to a
nnmerative crop. Snbsoil your land to
the deptd of 14 inches, and pulverize
the soil thoroughly by harrowing until
in a perfect condition
MANX’RENO.
On tho subject of mannring the direc
tor of the experiment station says:
Well rotted stable manure and wood
ashes, if applied liberally, will in any
soil result in increased yield. Such ma
nures ought to be broadcasted and well
incorporated into the soil. Commercial
fertilizers, t>one dost and superphosphate
with potash, salts and cottonseed meal
or crushed cottonseed are highly recom
mended. Bonednst mixture with wood
ashes or muriate of potash instead,
should Ire used at the rate of at least
one-half ton of the former and 30 to 40
bushels of the ashes, or 250 pounds of
muriate of ]>otash instead. A good fer
tilizer which has given excellent results
ut the station, may be mixed at home by
using at the rate perocre of 1,000 pounds
acid phosphate, 250 pounds muriate of
potash and 50(f pounds of cotton seed
meal, this might be supplemented early
in spring with top dressing of 200 pounds
ot muriate of soda per acre.
“In our experiments we have gener
ally attained better results from chemi
cal fertilizers than from stable manure.
The latter is too stimulating and heat
ing in its character, producing a Tunk
growth of leaves and runners at the ex
pense of the fruit, while in case of
drouth the plant will suffer find often
die. Strawberries require a cool, moist
soil; therefore, any heating manures
must lie avoided. The fertilizer experi
ment at the station the last season point
in the same direction, highly ammo
niated fertilizers produce increase foli
age and runners, hut when the fruiting
season began we were disappointed in
the promise. We also havo observed
that we obtnin finer, firmer, more highly
colored and better flavored berries from
a fertilizer containing a smaller percent
age of nitrogenous matter.
“We can safely conclude that it is
within our ability, to a Certain extent,
to force the growth ol our plants in a
certain direction by using the proper
fertilizer materials. But we must im
press the cultivator again with the
necessity of supplying a very liberal
amount of plant food if a large crop and
large berries is to be tbs result of our
endeavors. The expense of labor in cul
tivating plants, etc., is the same on a
highly as a poorly cultivated soil, and as
cultivation is the only Source of expense
after the bed is established, onr failure
or success hinges on a liberal supply of
plant food.
MCLTCIOFU.
“The object of mtdtching is some
what different in colder countries than
in our latitude. There the plants are
thus protected from severe freezing and
repeated thawing in winter. In our lat
itude we rnultch to protect onr plants
from the injurious effect of the hot sun,
and to keep the ground moist.”
MRTJIOD OF PLANTING.
In regard to planting there are two
methods—the hill and matted row sys
tem. For tho best results, we avise
the former system, which occasions
larger results are obtained from the lat
ter. nevertheless more perfect fruit and
plants are developed under the former,
and the crop is more assured. Plant 13
to 15 inches apart in rows three fyet,
and prevent spreading by keeping the
runners down.
This article is necessarily limited, and
those who desire to engage in strawberry
culture as an industry we would advise
tho purchase of a good work on the sub
ject. The work of the station can be
secured free by addressing R. J. Red
ding, Director, Experiment, Ga., and re
questing Bolleton, 15.
HORN FLY.
Wo have a small fly in this county
which worries the cattle very much,
fan you give me a remedy for them ?
H. I. T.
In the October report of ’92 and the
July report of this year you will find a
description of this fly, which is the horn
fly, also remedies. The following from
the Breeders' Gazette contains further
information on the subject :
They worry cattle until they become
thin and weak and take special delight
in massing by thousands and thousands
all over the entire body of weak and de
fenseless animals, as these animals be-
ome powerless to oppose them. And in
another way they null (or may) cause the
death of thousands of stock. It is in
this way : They eat or suck blood about
in spots on cattle—on the neck, dewlap,
hack of the shoulder blades and under
the belly of the animals. The spots
when first discernible have a dry appear
ance of the cuticle, with the hair eaten
off short and stubby close to the skin, as
if burned off. These spots may be alwnt
the size of a nickel or as large as a dol
lar, but more oftener of the smaller or
intermediate size. The cuticle is next
eaten or dissolved away, and a raw,
bloody sore results, which the pest con
tinues to molest.”
One breeder has applied the following
mixture to the pests, and finds It knocks
them every time :
Take kerosene, spirits pf turpentine,
sulphur and crysalic oiptment and rfiix
them well and rub or sprinkle it 6b the
cows. I usod it four weeks ago, and the
flies have not bothered the COWS since."
Yet another farmer has sprayed upon
his herds a strong kerosene mixture, and
found it effective.
MJTE8.
Can yon tell me how to rid my poultry
house and fowls of mites ?
A. P. A., Rex.
The question is one frequently asked
by those who take an interest in the
small things of the farm which add so
much to the comfort and profit of farm
ing.
Provide your fowls with a good dust
bath, to which sulphur has been
added: Get a gallon, more or less, of
crude petroleum, and, with a spraying
bellows, if you have it, or with a brush,
if you have nothing better, thoroughly
saturate every part of the inside of the
poultry houses. This will rid them of
every vestige of lice, large or small,
and, as the small lice or mites mostly
leave the fowls in the morning, it will,
in a conple of applications, rid them of
the pests. A little lard oil and kerosene,
half and half, applied under the wings
of the birds will kill all the large lice
that are on them. But every person who
has many fowls should have some kind
of a spraying apparatus, and with this
spray the house once a month with ker
osene emulsion. This can be quickly
done und will keep everything perfectly
clean.
SCOURS.
My calves have the scours very badly.
Can you give mo a remedy.
H. J. H., Bolton. *
Scalding tho milk will usually remedy
diarrhoea in calves, and this is much
better than using drugs, which are apt
to injure digestion. In obstinate eases a
puff-ball squeezed into the milk ami
mixed with it will remedy matters at
once. But it is unfortunate if such ir-
regularities in digestion are allowed to
occur. They commonly result from im
proper methods of feeding.
COMPOST.
How mucu compost can I use to the
acre? L. A. I.
Iu the use of all fertilizers the charac
ter of tho soil must be considered, but it
is difficult to name a land under proper
conditions. Replying to a similar ques
tion Furman's reply was :
“It is hard to nse too much. In France
the average is 20,000 pounds to the acre.
A Georgia farmer will hardly average
100 pounds to the acre. I will average
10,000 pounds next year. Nothing pays
near so well.”
LIME.
Will lime be a benefit to pasture land*
and how should it be applied i
S. I. H.
Lime as a top dressing will prove ben
eficial. It should never be applied in a
caustic state, but only after being air-
slaked and mixed with much ashes,
road washings, decomposed sods or other
wastes, and never mix with stable ma
nure or plowed under.
TRANSPLANTING TREES.
When is the best time to transplant
trees'? O. T. I.
Trees can be successfully transplanted
either in the fall or spring, much de
pending upon the season as to the degree
of success. As a rule, we prefer to
transplant in the fall.
