How Wind Affects Sprnys.

An ideal condition for spraying is
when the wind Is still AS there are
w days when the wind does not
blow, it IS extremely difficult to OBJ
tain ideal conditions for the work.
When the air is still the spray may be
evenly put on the tree and little Of
the mixture will be wasted. When
the wind is blowing it becomes neces-
sary TO spray the tree from several
sides to get uniform application.
Some of our best sprayers find ii advis-
able TO spray from not less than six
different position. II the air is still
the tree may be sprayed all over at
one time. But when the wind is in
motion one-half of the tree will have
to be left until the wind changes

lief at Central Station mad Just been
dismissed and Officer Hanlcy was on
his way home when he heard a pierc-
ing scream and calls for help. The
commotion emanated from the Martin
home. The first thought Of the officer
was that murder was being done and
he burst open the front door and ran
upstairs TO the room from which the
screams Issued. The door to the room
was unlocked and Hanley walked in.
On the bed stood Mrs. Martin, holding
her arm, from which the blood was
dripping A little girl was perched on
top OF dresser. In few words Mrs.
Martin told her story. She said that
she had been suddenly awakened by
an excruciating pain in her arm. She
was Mortified when she noticed q big

the animal got into the room, as rats
