SPRAYING Machinery.

In comparative trial of many kinds
of machines designed for spraying pota-
toes at the Cornell station, it was found
that those machines are unsatisfactory
in which liquids are distributed wholly
by the force Of gravity. Gravity spray
ers are of value when the liquids are
broken int a spray after leaving the
discharge pipes. This may be done by
means OF air blasts or by revolving
brushes.
Pumps for driving the liquids through
MOBILES are ON the whole most salts
factory. They can be arranged so that
several rows may be sprayed at once.
Horsepower sprayors can be recon-
mended for spraying potatoes. If the
plants are sprayed for the potato beetle,
one nozzle over each row is sufficient
For flea beetles and for fungous diseases,
it is better to have two MOBILES for each
row, that more thorough application
may be made.
Powder guns are very satisfactory
when inseC -icides are to be applied to
potatoes, although wind and dry foliage
may lessen the value Of the treatments.
Fungicides should usually be applied
in liquid fcrm, using machinery which
will treat the vines thoroughly as fast
as "a man or horse can walk

Brief Mention.

This mixture is used ut the Rhode Is
land station as Il fertilizer for an acre Of
potatoes: SiXtytive pounds of nitrate Of
soda, 49S pounds of tankage, 361
pounds of dissolved rock, rs pounds Of
fine ground bone and 1876 pounds of mu-
riate of potash.
The latest scheme suggested for Mary
land and Delaware strawberry growers
is to sow cowpeas between the rows Of
plants after picking, give light cultiva-
ton and thus grow manure and mulch
in one crop
The great value of crimson clover,
says Rural New Yorker, is as IA catch
crop sown in the late summer, to hold
the ground during fall and winter for
spring use
Great claims are made for the Early
Dwarf Adams corn.
For all the competition from new and
improved varieties of apples the Balu-
win and Grecning apples form the bulk
of what are sold in the eastern markets
during spring
As a substitute for the general loss Of
the clover crop of the past year, The
New England Homestead advises sow
ing Hungarian grass soon after corn
planting, three pecks per acre, which If
properly cured will be relished by the
stock in preference to timothy hay.

When You Talk.

Don't monopolize all the talk. Don't be
one of those whose speech is like the steady
flow of oil from "A capacious tank, that
seems as though it might gush on forever.
In ordinary conversation give your COM
panions "a fair chance, and If you would
be considered good conversationalist be
careful to do your full share of attentive
listening rather than talking.
Don't talk too much about your rich re-
lations and distinguished friends. No one
is considered great merely because he
knows great people. Those who try to
shine by this sort of reflected glory give
out a very dim light, much DINNER than
they imagine
Don't always talk on the same subject.
If you have hobby, whether it be the
north pole or the equator or civil reform or
woman's rights or anything else, spare
your friends the infliction of hearing the
same old story every time you meet them.
Don't fall into the habit of talking to
one who is occupied in reading. You are
doubtless acquainted with people in whose
presence you cannot take up paper to
read IA short article without the disturbing
consciousness that you are liable at any
moment to be interrupted. If so, you
realize that this is habit to be Stunned.
Don't in any conversation annoy your
listener with the perpetual question,
Don't you think sop Perhaps your lis
tener don't think or care anything about
the matter, or he may not wish to express
an opinion on the subject, or the thing
stated may seem too absurd to deserve an
opinion. In any case the constant ques
tioning becomes an intolerable nuisance.

What the Two Read.

have in my minds eye two old per-
sons, the best ever knew, the best l ever
hope to know No one would perhaps ac
tually call them READERS. They never see
even the outside of a novel. l have indeed
heard them quote Lothian" and think
"Pickwick "-which to me is evidence Of
the tremendous rage there must once have
been for these two works of fiction. Once
and again, too, line from Shakespeare
may fall from their lips But, on the
whole, they are not what the world would
call READERS. Probably they could not
distinguish the "Thanatopsis' from the
'Thanatophidia. If one mentioned DO
do in their presence, their minds would
in all likelihood revert to archaeological
ornithology. If one spoke of THE Heav-
emily Twins" they would correct him and
politely ask if it was not 1.-The Hebrew
Twins" that was meant, a recent work,
which, 1 believe deals with Jacob and
Esau. Yet these two dear old persons read
as few people read.
They read chiefly but one book, and this
is the Bible, but they have made that book
their own as not even, venture to say
has Mr.. Gladstone made Homer his own
l think l speak the simple truth when l
say they rarely have need to consult con-
cordance. So extreme degree of special
ism is not suited, of course, to the gen
era" / merely cite this as an example of
the efficacy of following the rule to make
ones own that which one reads. And for
tunately this rule is elastic, since 1t per
mits-nay, necessitates-a choice of what
is at once within ones capacities and con-
sonant with ones inclinations. Black

PAINT AROUND THE FARM.
There Is Economy In Applying IL In
Time Wherever It Is Needed.

There Is Economy In Applying It In
Time Wherever 1t Is Needed.
One Of the most useful things about
the farm is pot of paint. At this time
of year good deal Of repair work on
buildings can be done by yourself or
hands, and in connection herewith
painting also. The easiest way is to buy
can of paint at the store, and the best
place to use it is where it is needed.
The following from Country Gentleman
will be found helpful
The tin roof and the cutters and val
leys and water tables or the house and
barn roof, porch or outbuilding roof all
likely need paint. Tin should be painted
once every two years at least, and for
bare tin or rusty tin red lead is the best.
Buy it dry and mix only enough for the
job, as it quickly settles TO the bottom
of the pot and gets hard. On top of this
put "a coat of iron paint or venetian red
paint, mixed in oil First clean off the
tin. Putty holes in roof or open places
around windows and over doors to keep
out cold and wet.
The field machinery such as plows,
harrows, cultivators, etc, might be the
better for coat of paitt. There's hard
ly any wear out 10 things kept repaired
and painted. Tubs and Jackets, at house
or barn, should be k PIT paintt d on the
outside. Green locks well, while any
color will answer f = the farm toe Is.
provided it is rcd. IL, d wears better
than green under exposure to the wealth
er. Tie good wife will probably want
her garden TIRE His, etc, painted Green
looks best on these
Don't waste time whitewashing
where paint is so much chcaper-I me an
for fences and these small buildings
Don't whitewash ceilings or walls i'll
the house, except in cellar, because
paint is cheaper and better Paint the
porch floor to keep it from walping,
splintering and rotting. Lead color,
drab and dull buff or ocher color are
good. All outside paint should be mix ID
only with raw linseed oil and lutte
japan to dry it. Never add turpent:ne
or varnish to outside paint, nor ke~o-
sene oil, benzine, etc Poor economy to
use poor paint.

Bitter rot appears to be largely con-
fined to the south 1t attacks the berries
just as they are ripening, giving them
blistered or sun scalded appearance.
Bitter rot also attacks the stems Of the
fruit clusters, and it is here that it does
Its greatest damage for the diseased
stems, instead of curing" and becom-
ing soft and plant when picked, So AS
TO pack nicely and carry well, becomes
hard and brittle. The berries fall off
easily, and such shattered lunches are
quite unstable in market.
The early spraying with bordeaux
does not prevent this disease according
to bulletin from the Alabama station.
Something can be done toward control
ling it by training the vines so that the
fruit will hang i'll the shade Of the
leaves, for such sheltered fruit is less
often diseased than that hanging ex-
posed To the sun and dew. On this ac-
count some form of horizontal trellis IS
much to be preferred to the ordinary
vertical trellis or to training to stakes.

Farmers are not discarding silos if we
may judge from the returns to inquiries

SNOWFLAKES.


Soft. soft, soft
From their l)r Hand homo

Whittier they than the ocean foam,
Light as the down on the elders breast;
Soft they fall through the winter night,
Dancing down by the moons pale light.
They fail, fall, fall
Through the winter night,
Till the gray old world is hid from sight.
They fall, fall. fall

Till the earth is ROBBED in a robe of white.
They fall fall, fall,
Over all.
Then winter his bitterest blasts may bring,
But the world is warm where the snow lies

And snug meath their snowy covering
The flowers will wait for the voice of spring.

SHOOTING IN THE FIRST.
Two Brutal Encounters on Centre street
Yesterday Afternoon.

The First ward was in an uprOar yesterday
afternoon over two encounters between fac
tions of the Lithuanian people and which
appear to have been caused by feud which
has existed between the factions for years. 1t
is stated that the mere accidental meeting Of
any of the factions is a signal for a general
row.
1t is alleged that at about four o'clock yes
terday afternoon one Anthony Burba left
the house of saloonkeeper William Snyder
at the corner of Centre and limerick streets
and found one William Roach and five
friends standing at the corner. Burba, it is
stated, exclaimed with the help of God"
and sprang at Roach The latter is small
man, but very powerful, and soon had Burba
PROSTATE on the ground. The latter's friends
then jumped upon Roach and Roach friends
For several minutes dozen or more enraged
men engaged in bitter conflict in which brass
knuckles played prominent part Finally
Burba was dragged from the crowd into
Snyder's house. His scalp was cut in many
places and his face appeared to be beaten
almost to a jelly. Roach emerged from the
battle with long cash along the side of his
face and many bruises.
About two hours later there was second
fracas at the cor Centre and Bowers streets
in which the same factions took Part and in
which Burba was shot at and hit, but escaped
with bruising by the bullet. One Martin
String was arrested for the shooting and put
| under bail for a hearing before Justice Cardin
this evening. Stories of the shooting differ.
Burba says he had no hand in the fight, but
was about to get on an electric car while the
| fight was in progress when he remarked to
String that there should be no fight and the
latter without replying, drew a revolver and
fired. The bullet entered Burbas pants
pocket, on the right hand side, glanced off on
a silver dollar and passed through the man s
Overcoat The force of the bullet on the
silver dollar caused large bruise on Burba' s
groin. Had the bullet entered the body the
wound, in all probability, would have been a
very dangerous one.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Cleveland submits the Document To Con-
gross This Afternoon.
Special to EyrNING HERALD.
WAsHNGroN, Dec. z. 300 p. m.-President
Cleveland submitted his annal message to
Congress to-day.
Upon the question of the relations of this
country with Turkey the President assures
Congress that the disturbed condition as
sumed a ludicrous aspect, but affords pro-
lection to Americans there. our hostility
by force would not not only be resisted by
the Ottoman government but be regarded as
interruption of their plans by the other great
nations who assert their exclusive right to
intervene in their own way for security to
life IN Turkey. Doesn't believe present
somber prospects there will be long per
mitted to offend christendom.
In reference to the Cuban situation. the
President says the situation of affairs in that
country have not improved to any extent
since the last message. He was advised by
his government some months ago that if
satisfactory measures for home rule was
accepted by the insurgents our government
would find a way not Objectionable to Spain
of furnishing such guarity. While no
definite response has yet been received, he
entertains the belief that it will be not
altogether unwelcome. Our policy and in
terests would constlan us to object to ac.
QUESTION to the Island and of interference by
any other nation when inability of Spain to
deal successfully with the insurgents becomes
manifest. Then our obligations to Spain
would be superseded by the higher obligu.
tions which we can hardly hesitate to recog-
nize.
Upon the financial question the President
says it is conceded that we can have no as
sured financial peace safety until the govern
ment currency obligations upon which gold
may be demanded from the treasury are
withdrawn from circulation and cancelled
and the issuing of low interest bearing bonds
for the purpose of redemption, appears to
be an effective path to reform. Ma
tional banks should redeem their own cur
rency and be permitted to issue money for
the full value Of government bonds deposited.
