GROWING PEAS.

Every grower of Peas knows the havoc produced by the small birds, no matter what mechanical precautions or devices are taken to keep the birds off the crop, such as "guys," "the ringing of bells," or "the firing of the gun," the birds will have their full toll, which means a drain on the crop and hence smaller returns. Talking the other day about this trouble with a grower who had six acres in Peas, he said he had discovered a splendid remedy for this sm.all bird nuisance. He had been spraying his peas with the Sherwin-Williams'Sulfur Solution to protect them from Blight, and found that not only did it protect them from Blight, and found that not only did it protect them from disease, but that it kept the birds away as well —they would not go near the Pea?. He said he used one gallon of°the S. W. Lime Sulfur Solution to 5 gallons of water, and sprayed about once a week. Heconsidered it true economy to spray frequently. Last year his income front Peas was £25 per aere._ tie was so satisfied with Sis experience last yen) 1 no Vinis o.■'i; y ■' : ■■ ■■' ; tru 1 SheL*in-Wi!ifsk-ir, Lime Sult'ar Sole tfon instesd of Bordeaux Mixtnre to ■irotert kk: Pokuorn from Ijlisjht.
