little at a time. Beat it with an egg beater to be kept for that
purpose; or shake it vigorously.

"For use against plant lice add to one cup of this emulsion 8 cups of
water. For scale insects dilute with four cups of water.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE

I. Copper sulphate (blue vitriol) 1 lb.
Water 1 gal.
Dissolve the sulphate in the water.

II. Slaked lime 1 lb.
Water 1 gal.
Dissolve the lime in the water.

To one bucket (2-1/2 gallons) of fresh water add four pints of the first
solution. To another bucket of fresh water add six pints of the second
solution.

Stir these together. Keep the rest of the solutions I. and II. for later
mixing when it is needed.

WHALE OIL SOAP HOT WATER SOLUTION

Whale oil soap 1 pound
Hot water 6 quarts

This is the right dilution for plant lice but for scale insects it is
too weak; for them use about two quarts of water to one pound of soap.
