In the field trial Of spraying machines
under the direction of the Cornell sta
tion, two classes Of horsepower ma
chimes were entered-gravity machines,
or those that simply dripped out the
water by its own weight, and those
that carried a pump to force the water
out. All the gravity machines failed to
throw out the bordeaux mixture. They
quickly clogged and became useless
While these machines will handle paris
green in water fairly well, they are not
serviceable with bordeaux mixture, for
the lime Will surely clog them unless
some force is employed TO push the mix
ture out. The machines with pump at
tachment did better. The most effective
sprayer was homemade affair thus
described by Rural New Yorker:
Last among the mounted sprayers
came a rude, wild wcodsy affair which
contrasted strongly with its painted
and polished namesake. It consisted Of
the frame and wheels Of an old grain
drill, shortened to fit three feet potato
rows. On it were nailed some rough
boards. In these was placed a kerosene
barrel with a force pump and hose. To
the latter was attached with proper coup
lings piece Of gas pipe, resting On
the rear Of the machine, nine feet in
length and fitted with four Vermorel
nozzles The thills were stout hickory
poles, lashed on with wire. The oper-
ator went down the rows driving the
one horse, pumping and occasionally
stirring the mixture with a paddle. All
the other machines had stopped for adj
justment, or because they could not get
ON with the spraying Why would not
this rude affair? But on went the one
horse shay, where one part was as per
feet as another, without stop, save at
the ends Of the rows and covering "a
rows with the mixture.
The Knapsack sprayers, with pumps,
did good work, and 50 did the powder
guns. The success of this homemade
Sprayer ought to show farmers how o
little display Of mechanical skill may
save money for them.

KITCHEN AND HOUSE sLops.
Disposal BY Barred and Cart or House
Drain and CesspooI.


One Of the chief problems Of the aver
age village or suburban resident is the
disposal Of the ordinary kitchen and
house slops- The primitive method is to
simply throw them out and let them 60
where they may The result il a damp,
disease breeding spot located under the
very noses Of the family, to generate the
germs Of typhoid fever, malaria, flies
and host of the other ills of the suburb
an resident. In most cases nature does
all it can to counteract the sins Of man
kind, and these "slop holes' are usually
partially concealed and covered up with
a growth of rank weeds, useless and I'm
slightly except az they may absorb the
disease germs or hide the mud and
filthy debris Of the slops. Such q condi-
ton Of things is simply intolerable and
should be forbidden by law
The most common system Of dispos-
ing of slops is by All ordinary tile drain
running from the house sink to a suDken
barrel or bottomless cistern Of brick or
stone-a cesspooL This system removes
the filth from the surface and hides it
from the sight and for time at least
from the smell. Instead Of scattering
the wastes to The four winds Of heaven
it concentrates it in a hole to ferment
and rot. The result is the deadly sewer
gas and intolerable stenches. The cess
pool and drain are only tolerable when
they are thoroughly drained and trapped
and cleaned ont at least twice a week.
The third and, according to writer
in American Gardening, the only feast
BILE, healthy and convenient method Of
disposing Of house sewerage where there
are no village water and sewerage sys-
TENS is to lead pipe directly from the
sink to barrel, the barrel removed by
a cart as often as may be necessary and
its contents dumped about the grape
vines, fruit trees or in times Of drought
upon the vegetable or flower garden
We will assume Of course that garbage
is burned or fed to the chickens, and
that the modern earth closet il used III
the house. 1t is really astonishing how
easily the slops Of an ordinary family
may be removed by the barrel and cart
and how completely they are dispersed
by dumping them on the surface Of the
soil. 1t is probable that the slops treated
in this way are worth, for fertilizing
purposes, all the trouble Of disposing Of
them.

old Stone walls.

When the country was new, many
farmers put as much stone as they could
into walls for their fences. These were
deemed much more important then than
they are now. However great the salts
faction when the wall was built in
thinking that it was fence forever, the
time has come in some places where the
stone wall is nuisance. Its material
is all there, but the work of relaying it
and Of keeping it in repair is greater
than the interest ON cost Of most fences
Besides the stone wall is a harbor for
weeds, and it often is refuge for
skunks, weasels and other farm vermin.
On most farms tho best use of the old
stone walls is to build easements for
barns or cellar walls. or in the under
drains. Good drains can be made from
stone alone. or after laying the tile a
layer of stone may be placed above
them, coming to within foot or so
from the surface, so the stone will not
likely be ever in the way of the plow.

Here is what Rural New Yorker says
of it; A borax producer in California is
said to be experimenting with this sub
stance as fruit preservative. The fresh
fruit is to be packed ia barrels with the
powdered borax. A shipment of cherries
packed i'll this way reached Chicago in
"prime condition. This is far more
honest than it is to buy cents worth
of borax, mix it with little salt, sugar,
etc, name it " Preservaline, and sell
it for so cents, but it will not prove
profitable. Borax should not be used ON
fruit just before it is to be eaten. While
it will undoubtedly keep the fruit in
fresh condition. it is injurious to health,
and the health boards in large cities
where fruit is sold will surely prohibit
its use
