AN EXPENSIVE BUNKER.
This Golf Player Intended to Swear

One of New York's prominent clergy

said, finally.
All went smoothly for awhile until he
"foozled" his drive, when out came the
dollar bill, which the clergyman quietly
pocketed. On the next hole he drove into
the bunker and had to 60 down into his

And he did, by the time he got out of

provided with new foodstuffs, both de-
licious and nutritious. Among other
things, it has been discovered that the
quality and size of certain plants and
vegetables are improved by several
transplantings. In this work, however.
it is difficult to take up the roots at such
a depth as not to disturb and hinder the
growth of the leaves, owing to the great
length to which the roots enter the earth.
With the aid of the device shown in the
picture this operation can now be per-
formed to much better advantage. The
idea is to insert a metallic open-mesh
fabric in tho earth beneath the seeds.
the preferred manner Of working being
to lay a strip Of the screen in the bottom
of a long trench, covering it several
inches deep with earth, and then plant
ing the seed in the ordinary manner.
AS the tap or main root descends from
the seed it will strive to pass through
the fine mesh of the screen, but will be
choked, causing branch roots to spread
out laterally above the screen. A plant
whose tap root has just reached the
screen. and one which has been choked
of and forced to send out branch roots
are shown in the drawing.-St. Louis

ment free seeds will reap many more
things than he sows. and regret Will be
one of them.
Attend every horticultural meeting

Horticultural meetings should be
held at q time when there is oppor-
tunity to make good displays Of fruits.
Somewhere about November l is the
time. Then the displays, If properly
labeled, become public educators. This
plan followed would in time cause a
demand for better apples, and color

The loss of 400 cherry trees IN one year

similar diseases that troubled and killed

CART FOR A SPRAY PUMP.
An Idea Whose Value Will Be Recog-
nized at a Glance by Owners
Of Large Orchards.

We have over 5000 trees to spray. To
save time and money it was necessary
to have an easily handled wagon to
carry our spray pump and barrel to and
from the orchard and among the trees
The two-wheeled low-down box cart
shown comes nearer an ideal spray pump
conveyance than anything that l know
of. With it you can get under and
among, the lowest branches of the
peach, plum and pear trees. The bar
rel is easily filled with material, and
the man operating the pump is prac-
tically on the ground all the time.
One Of these carts can be built at
little expense. If new wheels are not
in reach, take pair of old implement

In Society,".

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time. II
thew could realize the invigorating,
STRENGTHENING effect that Peruna would
have. how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
Peruna is the tonic for run down,
depleted nervous system.

How to Plant q Garden.

Straight rows evenly spaced not
only add to the appearance of the gar
den, field or orchard, but save much
labor in the cultivation Of the plants.
Everyone should have at least gar
den line and . wheel hoe. Stretch the
line taut and mark out tho rows with
the end of hoe handle, then drop
and cover che seeds. In most gardens
a drill will be found very useful and
time saving. With it one can plant
about al fast as he can walk. Tbs
rows are spaced evenly, the seeds pu:
in at a uniform depth and the earth
pressed over them so they sprout
quickly. The picture shows how nice
