SPRAY OUTFIT HELPS Equipment Necessary Depends on Work to Be Done.

General Purpose Pump Should Be Made of Brass to Prevent Corroding by Copper Sulphate Used In Bordeaux Mixture. (By H. GAR1IAN.) The kind Of a spraying outfit to ret depends entirci on the kind of spraying to he done and the extent of the work proposed. If one has a few rose hushes or tomato plants ahout a dwelling, or even a few small fruit trees, he can get along with a small hand pump known as a bucket pump. With a little extra hose and a pole, or a bamboo rod, with which to elevate the nozzle, It Is possible to spray trees Manner of Spraying With Knapsack Sprayer. eight or more feet in height with such an outfit. Grape vines can be sprayed very well with a bucket pump, provided there are not many of them. If there are many vines to spray a knapsack sprayer may be best. This is a very convenient outfit for spraying tobacco, potatoes and other lowgrowing plants, which from the man ner of their cultivation, it isnot practicable to go among with a team and wagon. For extensive spraying, it is well to secure a strong pump attached to a barrel or tank that can be hauled about in a cart or wagon. Hand pumps so attached are used for small orchards and other plants grown in a moderate way, but power pumps are necessary for extensive spraying and for that required by tall trees. A man engaged in fruit growing or potato growing, as a business, ought to have a power sprayer of some sort, either operated by the wheel of the vehicle carrying the outfit, as in the compressed-air sprayers, or hy a gasoline motor. A general purpose spray pump should be made of brass so that it will not be corroded by the copper sulphate used in bordeaux mixture. Nozzles, too, should be made of brass, and ought to be constructed so that they can be quickly cleaned of solid particles that may lodge in the outlet. The pump-, will last longer and give better service if washed out with clear water whenever done using them. Hose should te of the best. For trees it is well to have a sufficient length so that the nozzle can be elevated on the end of a pole among the branches. The precise length will depend upon the size of the trees. For orchard work a length of 10 to 15 feet will serve when the pump is operated from a wagon bed. For shade trees of large size it may be necessary to have 50 feet or more. The hose ought always to be detached, drained and hung up in a cool place after using. A cellar is as good place as any that is commonly available. $150,000 PAID FOR HORSE Government of Argentina Buys Craganour, Which Wao Disqualified in Recent English Derby. The sum of $160,000 was paid re cently by the government of Argentina for the horse Craganour, which was first past the winning post in the recent derby race, but was dis qualified for bumping. Only on four occasions has the price paid for Craganour, which is to be used for breeding purposes in Argentina, been exceeded in the amount paid for a race horse. These were Ormonde, which was sold for $156,250 to an American sportsman; Cyllene, which went to an English sportsman for ?lo(,o00; Diamond Jubilee, sold to an Argentine breeder for $157,500, and Flying Fox, which holds the record for price and was sold to a French sportsman for $196,S75. Corn for Silage. Corn for silage should be plowed .only one way. The corn should be drilled in the row and thinned to one stalk to the foot. A small-sized stalk and ear is much more preferable for silage than the large stalk and ear that usually results where the corn is cultivated for feed. Milkweeds Poison Sheep. If sheep are poisoned by milkweeds, and the evidence seems to be fairlyconclusive that they are. it is only when there is little else to eat, for sheep do not eat milkweeds under normal conditions. Place for Drinking Vessels. Drinking vessels placed in the henhouses should be put on a shelf that is raised at least six inches from the ground, or the fowls will scratch a lot of dirt into the water. Tuberculosis Among Hogs. Tuberculosis affects hogs. During 1912 the government inspectors condemned about one million carcasses and parts o carcasses for this diSSafie.

TREAT POTATOES FOR SCAB

Corrosive Sublimat Solution and Bordeaux Mixture Applied to Std Gave Excellent Results. At a German experiment itation, experiments with potato scab have been carried on for two years. Corrosive sublimate solution of 0.05 per cent, and Bordeaux mixture of two per cent, both, applied to the seed potatoes for 1 hours, gave excellent and about equal results in the prevention of scab, as was also the case with Bordeaux mixture of two per cent applied to two lots for? three and fourteen hours, respectively, and with two lots treated with four kg. per acre (356 pounds per acre) of sulphur mixed with the soil, one lot having been also thoroughly rubbed with, sulphur before planting. A peat rac dressing of 35 cm. depth appeared to give some protection against the development of scab, while a sand dressing of the same depth afforded none. On both the plats treated with soil dressing the next year's crops were found tc be healthy. KILL OUT CANADA THISTLES Most Practical Way of Getting Rid of Patch Is to Ci:t Off All Leaves Below Surface. In response to a query as to the best way of getting rid of a patch of Canada thistles the Wallace's Farmer makes the following reply: Anything which keeps Canada thistle leaves from getting to the sunlight for two or three months during the growing season will give them a severe set-back, and in some cases kill them. Putting a heavy coating of straw on the patch has in some cases proved successful, but in other cases the straw has become disarranged and the thistles have grown up Canada Thistle. through it. Realty, the most practical way of getting rid of a small patch of Canada thistles is to go over it every week and cut off all leaves below the surface of the ground. If a conscientious job of this is done for the summer, the thistles will not bother much the next year, although it is best to keep an eye open for them and cut them off regularly. A careful job must be done, for if the leaves are allowed to grow very long in the sunshine enough energy will be stored up in the roots to hold the pest over lof a considerable length of time. TO KILL TENT CATERPILLARS Single Spray of Arsenate of Lead When Insects Are Observed Would Stop Depredations. If a grower is spraying his fruit trees faithfully with arsenate of lead from tent caterpillars, or the tents may be crushed with the gloved hand, when they can be reached, at a time when the caterpillars are inside; or burned by a torch on the end of a pole, twisted out of their place bv means of a wire brush, attached to the end of a long pole. These remedies are effectual only when the caterpillars are in their tents, early in the morning, or in stormy wet weather. A single spraying of arsenate of lead, when caterpillars are observed, would probably stop their depredations. The forest tent caterpillars can be destroyed when they collect in bunches on the trunks of trees. Prune off and destroy the twigs holding the eggs. Breeding Draft Horses. The breeding of heavy draft horses is one of the most profitable branches of live stock farming. Few farmers realize the importance of size in a draft horse, when put on the market, either in public or private sale. A horse that weighs less than 1,500 pounds is not considered a draft horse in any of the horse markets of the country, yet the mares kept on the ordinary farms are usually lighter than that. This accounts "for the small, scrubby lot of horses that are constantly being put on the market at a loss to the breeder. Care of Swine. Two things which should be avoided with swine in cold weather are, first, do not let them sleep in or upon heating manure, because they become warm and then rush into the cold air, frequently contracting colds, coughs or severe pulmonary diseases that are sometimes fatal; second, bed them well in dry quarters where there is no draft of air blowing acrou them.

OLDEST GRIST MILL IN U. S. Wat Built in the Early Days of EngHah Settlement in Virginia and la Still Worked.

Richmond, Va. -In all probability the mill shown in the illustration is the oldest in commission in America. It is a tidal mill on East river, an arm of Mob jack bay in Virginia. It was built in the early days of English settlement in Virginia and is still in commercial operation with power derived from the ebb and flow of the tides. The early Virginia settlers harnessed the tides to the mill wheel to grind their corn, later on adding machinery and other apparatus for making flour. They found a place where the tides ran with more than usual force, where the water was forced Old Grist Mill on Seashore. through a narrow inlet into a large inland pond or lake. As the tide rose and fell, something like three feet, this interior body of water would be filled and emptied twice each 24 hours. A dam was thrown across this inlet, leaving a narrow space for a raceway, and in this space the large old wheel was hung. It has passed through at least five great wars. It has been destroyed once by cavalry raid, and was grinding corn when the French and Indian wars were being waged. It ground corn for Washington's army when it was be sieging the English army at Yorktown, only a few miles away. In the evolution of the grist mill first came the In dian mortar, followed by crude mill stones of small size propelled by hand power; then larger ones run by horse power. Windmills were next and then came tidal mills, and the other water mills, where the flow of water häs been dammed. Steam has -revolution ized the milling processes, but there is still work for the tidal mill. The old time millers were restricted to onesixth of the grist for toll, in case of corn, and one-eighth in case of wheat but always had fat hogs, no matter what the legal rate of toll, and nearly all millers became wealthy. For more than 225 years Virginia led the whole country in the production of both wheat and corn. It may never lead again in these crops; but it is rapidly getting in shape to line up vith the best. TO BLOW COAL THROUGH TUBE London Borough Council Has Scheme to Supply Factory With Its Fuel. London. Hammersmith Borough council, which has a municipal elec tricity undertaking and has to arrange for the storage and delivery of large quantities of coal, reports in favor of a scheme to bring the coal from the wharf to the electricity works by blowing it through a pipe. To enable the coal to pass through the pipe water would also have to be blown through and the report declares that the mixture of coal and water could be forced through at a velocity of about seven feet per second, about five miles an hour. Upon delivery at the electricity works the coal would be allowed to settle down in the tanks, when the surplus water would be drawn off and returned to the river. The cost of the scheme is estimated at $50,000. HERE'S GARB FOR MEN'S TEAS Oriental Slippers Go With Soft, Filmy, Silk "Rest Suit Is Fashion Dictum. London. Fashion in male wear is, we are told, in a transition state. The gaudy sock, the spat, white or colored; the broad shoe lace, are as though they never' were. They are taboo. "We now revel in unobtrusive socks and our shoes are spatless and fastened with stringlike laces. The latest craze is the rest suit, to be worn on a quiet evening after dinner or for bachelor tea parties. Here is a full description of one, worn, it is said, by a well known peer. It is of dark green watered silk, with revers of old gold, the coat being edged with olive green silk braid. The suit is loosely cut with wide trousers and is worn with a colored silk shirt, soft turn down silk collar and bow tie, socks of silk and gorgeous Oriental slippers. $100,000 for Not Using Tobacco. Norristown, Pa. Leonard Thomas of Haverford will receive $100,000 on his twenty-first birthday if he can swear on that day that he has not used tobacco in any form during his life, according to the will of his grandmother, Elizabeth Van Horsen Nicholson, probated here. Thomas ia eight years old, and hasn't used tobacco yet.

HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME

KIs Dexterity on First Base Surprised the Youngivers Until They Learned More of His Career. In the American Magazine Hugh S. Fullerton writes an article entitled "The Making of a Big Leaguer." It is the story of one of the greatest ball players in the United States as told by himself to Mr. Fullerton. This player was a country boy and, of course began to play the game early. He tells the following story about an incident of his boyhood: "Father had a hired man named Ned, a tall, quiet fellow with a pair of blue eyes that seemed always about to laugh, but seldom did. He had been with us a year. He got drunk periodically, and after each spree father hunted him up and brought him back to work. We asked him to play with us, and he laughed and said he reckoned he would try to play first base if 'paw' would let him off. I fixed it with father, and Ned played first barehanded making catches and s.tops that filled us with astonishment Also he made five home runs, two into the railroad pond and three into the barn lot back of left field. Walking home that evening he told me he had played ball professionally, yet it was not until two years later that I learned he once had been a famous outfielder with a great team." ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB R. F. D. No. 3, Clarkfield, Minn. M My trouble was of long standing. It started with some small red and yellow spots about the size of a pin head on my leg and every morning there was a dry scale on top covering the affected part and when , those scales were falling off the itching was more than I could stand at times. The first year I did not mind it so much as it was only itching very badly at times, but the second year it advanced all around my leg and the itching was terrible. I had to be very careful to have my clothing around the affected part very loose. At night time I often happened to scratch the sore in my sleep. Then I had to stand up, get out of bed and walk the floor till the spell was over. "I bought lots of salves and tried many different kinds of medicine but without any success. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a fifty-cent box of Cuticura Ointment and when I had used them I was nearly over the itching. But I kept on with the Cuticura Soap for six weeks and the cure was complete." (Signed) S. O. Görden, Nov. 20, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Mildred Lawson, a pretty American dancing girl, made her debut in London last month and the English crit ics, while admiring her dances, com plained a good deal about the scanti ness of her costumes. Miss Lawson sent some of these English criticisms to a New York agent the other day and in a letter accompanying them she said: "You'll notice that they kick a lot about my dresses. But what's the use, say I what's the use of making such a fuss about nothing, or almost nothing? . v Important to Mothers Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and see that it Bears the Signature of In Use For Over 30 Years.
