Homemade Potato Sprayer
The sprayer illustrated herewith Is
inexpensive and easily made First a
heavy iron rod about 1 inches thick
and 6V2 feet long must be procured
3or an axle This may be taken from
an old grain drill or elsewhere and
adapted to the present use For
wheels take those of the hay rake
as a lgh wheel makes the flow strong
er The shafts should be about eight
feet long They are bolted to the axle
five feet apart and fastened securely
that the rod may not turn Two pieces
of wood three by three inches and
three and one half feet long are bolted
across the shafts 12 or 15 inches apart
one of them being placed a trifle back
of the axle and the other farther in
front of it The singletree is attached
to a third crosspiece farther forward
Two more pieces two by six inches
and two feet long are bolted edge
wise across the 3x3 inch pieces two
feet apart These pieces are hollowed
out at the top so that a barrel will
rest on them securely Two stopcocks
are inserted into the barrel opposite the
bung and two pieces of hose six feet
long terminating in a fine spray nozzle
attached to them The bnnghole is
turned upward and a funnel used m
filling it The horse walks between
the rows of potatoes the man follow
ing and holding a nozzle in each hand
above the row on either side When
turning at the end of a row the hose
may be laid across the barrel to stop
the flow The pressure of the liquid
in the barrel if well elevated is suffi
cient to produce a steady flow and the
jolting of the machine will keep the

The Kooning Time
In the longest days of the year and
when on the farm the hardest work
of the year has to be done there should
be generally a longer rest at noon than
is usually taken The early morning
and toward evening are the most com
fortable times to work out of doors
But with a day nearly or quite fif
teen hours long there must be a con
siderable resting place in the middle
of the day if health is to be preserved
The noon dinner may take half an hour
or more but after that should be a rest
of a full hour or two and if part of
that time be spent in sleep both body
and brain will be refreshed Few know
how great is the dependence of the
nerves on sleep for their continuance
in vigorous health A noonday rest
of not less than two hours will enable
more work to be done than can be se
cxired without it If storms threaten
when crops have to be secured the
noon rest may be omitted for in such
case when rain comes there will be
longer opportunities for resting and
even for sleeping than will be desir
able
Killing Hose Slugs -with Hot Water
It is very slow and difficult work
thinning off the rose and near slugs
when they are found on pear and grape
leaves Not many people know that
they can be easily killed by drench
ing the leaves with water heated to
130 to 140 degrees This is death to
nearly all kinds of bugs and Hie wa
ter can be applied 10 to 20 degrees
hotter than this without injuring the
leaves either of the pear or grape vine
If the water is applied by spraying it
should be some hotter than is re
quired so that it may reach the slugs
at the temperature that is surely fatal
to them Very cold water or that which
has had ice dissolved in it will kill the
rose slugs if dashed violently against
them but it knocks off many more and
they are soon found a tlieir work
ajain
Fences Aronnd Gardens
Tnere should be no fences except
those put up for temporary protection
and that can be easily taken down
around the garden If a permanent
fence is built it is always in the way
and becomes a harbor for weeds which
will grow at all the more luxuriantly
because the garden is rich Xeithar
should fruit trees be planted around
the garden for like reason The fruit
garden ought to be by itself and on
the farm it is better to grow all the
tree fruits in the main orchard that
can then be fenced inland used as a
pasture for pigs

and use of by products that were for
merly wasted It is much the same
with the dairy There is no large mar
gin of profit in making butter and
cheese at present prices and the ques
tion how to dispose of the by products
left after these are made usually de
cides whether the result shall be ou
the loss or on the profit side Making
curd cheese without rennet from the
skim milk is a profitable way to use
it where a near market can be had for
it Almost every city or village would
dispose of a large quantity every day
if it were placed on market Besid
this feeding skim milk to fowls
pigs and to the cows are good ways
to dispose of it Which will be most
profitable must depend on circum
stances
Removing Foul Seeds from Grain
As long as it remains true that as a
I man sows so shall he reap it behooves

Farm and Home
Selling Yoiuiir Piirs
There is always profit in breeding
pigs providing the breeder is not too
greedy and is willing to sell his stock
at reasonable rates Live and let live
should always be the rule In nothing
is this more true than in the breeding
and sale of stock It is very easy
to get a surplus of stock greater than
can be either kept or fattened with
profit As the pigs grow older it costs
more to produce a pound additional
growth and what is worse this extra
weight is not worth so much per pound
as is that of the smaller pig The sow
pigs may be worth more as they grow
older if set to breeding but the farmer
who breeds pigs largely to sell while
young does not wait for the sows to
gt to breeding age before disposing
of them He leaves some of the profit
to the purchaser of his stock as every
stock seller ought to do If no one did
this the race of buyers would quickly
run out and then the grower of young
pigs would be worse off than ever
Felect the Best
Did you ever notice that certain hens
in the flock always seemed more alert
and active than others See how per-
haps half a dozen out of thirty or forty
are always running around singing
perking their heads up in a Dont you
see Im a rustler kind of way and
doing more work in an hour than the
rest of the flock in four Take care of
these Separate them from the rest
of the flock Look after them with
great care and by breeding them care
fully to choice males you can raise
up a strain of fowls that will be phe
nomenal layers Now dont sneer at
this idea It is a fact and one that is
worthy of your looking into
Feeding Bran in Summer
Cows at pasture are greatly helped
by feeding a bran mash morning and
night when giving milk Good as grass
is it does not furnish the full propor
tion of nitrogenous and mineral sub
stance that tlie cow requires to give
the largest quantity of milk and bran
is a better food for this than is grain
or grain meal Cows that will not
eateorn meal when at pasture will eat
and relish a bran mash made with
water heated to blood temperature
Dairy Notes
The cow should have all the food that
she will assimilate
A cow that is heated and worried will
not milk well and her milk will not
make good butter
You cannot feed a scrub calf into a
good one but you can easily stint a
well bred calf into a scrub
It is no use to say that dairying doe3
not pay for it does pay those who know
how to conduct the business
The dairyman should not only breed
up his cows but by proper course of fer
tilization increase the bearing capacity
of the soil
The latest thing for the deception of
the dairy farmer is a bogus cottonseed
meal It has been analyzed and detect
ed by two of the experiment stations
Cows drink from four to five gallons
of water daily on the average This
should be as free from all impurities
or surface drainage as the water used
in the farnily
Not every farmer can feed his cows a
wide ration because it is sometimes
tofl costly to be available but whatever
I thfc feed there should be plenty of it
assrt it shpnjfj be accampaoied by plenty

HEALTH IN OLD AGE
A Reporters Interesting Interview
with a Lady of Seventy two Yearn
Who Tells a Marvelous Story
From the Union Port Jerois N Y
But a short time ago in a distant part
of the country we heard of a cure by the
use of Dr Williams Pink Pills which
eeemed almost marvelous and more re
cently another substantial evidence of
their value reached our ears Being of an
inquiring turn of mind and wishing to
know just how much thtre was in the
story a reporter was sent to interview
the person said to be thus benefited If
the narrative as it had reached our ears
was true it was only simple justice to iet
it be known if it proved untrue it would
be well to know it
The person alluded to above as having
been thus greatly benefited by the use of
Pink Pills is Mrs Jane Ilotalen of
Hainesville N J a pleasant hamlet in
Sussex County about fifteen miles
from this office The reporter had no
difficulty in finding Mrs Hotalen It was
nearly noon when we reached her pleas
ant home a double house one part of
which is occupied by her son She is a
pleasant faced old lady looking to be
about sixty five but is m reality seventy
two years of age xVfter a few prelimi
nary remarks in explanation of the call
she was asked if she had any objection
to giving us the details of the case and
how she came to try this now famous
remedy
Not at all said she If my experi
ence can be of any good to others 1 am
sure tht y are welcome to it it can do me
no harm
When were you taken sick and what
was the nature of the malady was
asked
It was about two years ago The
trouble was rheumatic in character sci
atica they called it and it was very
painful indeed The difficulty began in
my hip and extended the whole length of
the limb crippling me completely I
suffered intensely from it and the ordi
nary treatment gave me not the slightest
alleviation I was under treatment about
a mouth as stated but grew worse instead
of better and was fast becoming discour
aged
What brought Pink Pills to your no
tice
My son called my attention to an article
in a paper in which it was stated that a
Mr Struble of Branchviile a village in
this county had been greatly benefited
by their use and suggested that it would
be a good plan to try them But I was
skeptical in regard to their value in fact
I had no confidence in their efficacy and
rather laughed at the suggestion But
the trouble increased and I was badly
crippled A few days later my son was
about to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again that it might be well to
try this remedy and I
then consented He bought me a box of
them and I began taking them at once
At the end of a week I noted a marked
improvement and by the time I had taken
the first box I was able to walk without
a cane I continued their use taking
several boxes and am as you see in a
very comfortable state of health
Have you had any return of the trou
ble
Not as yet though at my time of life
seventy two it would not be surprising if
I should have If it comes I should at
once begin the use of the pills I suppose
I inherit a tendency to troubles of this
kind my mother died from them
Did you ever note ny ill effects from
the use of Pink Pills
None whatever They never disturb
ed my stomach in any way or caused me
any annoyance Neither did I find it nec
essary to increase the dose as the direc
tions say may be desirable I am able
as you see to attend to my own work
The reporter thanked Mrs Hotalen for
her courtesy and bade her good day It
is not often that one can witness such a
complete recovery from such a pertina
cious trouble at such an advanced age
and such instances cannot fail to produce
a proiounci impression ueauers ui mv
Union may rely on the absolute accuracy
of all the statements here given nothing
has been exaggerated nothing withheld
Dr Williams Pink Pills contain in a
condensed form all the eeraents neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves They
are an unfailing specific for all forms of
weakness either in male or female and
all diseases resulting from vitiated hu
mors in the blood Pink Pills are sold

Not His Legs
A Russian peasant having accumu
lated a little money took himself to
town to purchase a new pair of boots
Returning homeward he espied a lux
uriant spot for a siesta and being
tired lay down for a quiet nap which
developed into a sound sleep A con
scienceless tramp passing along the
road took note of the peasants new
boots and also of his own very poor
footgear and decided an exchange
would be beneficial And accordingly
he stripped the peasant of his new pur
chase and proceeded on his way The
driver ol a passing wagon seeing the
peasants legs stretched parkway across
the road yelled for him to take his
legs out of the way
Legs inquired the half awake
peasant what legs and then rubbing
his eyes he stared stupidly at his lower
limbs
Drive on said he those legs aint
mine Mine had boots on

A Double Headed Turtle
D E Hudson tells about a freak tur
tle be found on the shores of Lake On
tario among a lot of newly hatched tur
tles This turtle was just emerging
from its shell There were two heads
and necks to it and each head was
apparently independent of the other
and each seemed to have contrary ideas
of the proper way to go Both heads
would be asleep when one would wake
up and start the body off according to
its own ideas That would rouse the
other head and then there would be a
mix up of motions It died after a
while
