SPRAYING the Orchard.

Hundreds OF people who own small
orchards would like to spray their
trees, but are deferred therefrom by
the cost of & spraying outfit usually
recommended by writer's. For spray
ing a few trees all the outfit this is
necessary is barrel to mix the poison
in, and small sled. One made OF
two planks four feet long will do. Lay
them side by side and fasten them Sc
curely together by means of strips or
board nailed across them. Chip OH the
under side of the front edges, set the
barrel on it, mix the spraying mate
rials, and with one horse draw it into
the orchard and wherever needed. A
good spray pump for few trees does
not cost much; piece of half-ncn
rubber hose about eight feet long, hav-
ing the spraying end attached to a
light stick the same length, will raise
the nozzle high enough to spray most
trees. If the trees are very large, one
can climb into them, draw up bucket
full of mixture, set it firmly among the
branches and send the spray over the
entire tree.-Farm and Fireside.

"And how old did you say he wasT
resumed the old man.
"Forty."
"And you are twenty?"
"Wen, I'll be twenty-on in a couple
of months"
"And how old are his children"
"The boy is fifteen and the girl only
ten" spoke up the young lady, evi-
dently without fear of tackling so
tough job as looking after the
youngsters.
The man was silent for an instant,
trying to think of something else to
switch the young woman off the matri-
monial track. Mrs. Admington was
hoping he would be successful, but he
wasn't. Sc he fired a weak parting shot.
"Well." he began, hopeleSsly, "ail L
can say to you is that if you marry that
man after having known him only two
weeks you will be doing very foolish
thing, and in looking after those two
children you will certainly have your
work cut out for YOU"
Il don't care if l do," came the voice
of the young woman snappishly. I've
thought it all over and I'm going to
marry him anyway
Mrs. Admington wasn't able to con-
tain herself any longer. She had no
sooner heard the young lady's ultl-
matum than she broke into the conver-
sation with:
Don't you do it. If you do you're
a perfect goose and you ought to know
it."
Mrs. Admington heard gasps OF sur
prise from the other two, and then the
voice of the man:
"Well, who in thunder are you:'
"I'm not in thCn Ter anybody.9 Y
snapped Mrs. Admington, "but I'm
considerably older than the young lady
at the other end of the wire. and I've
learned few things she ought to know
before she marries man twice as
old as herself and with two children
as big as she is"
PITY YOU didn't learn not to listen
to private conversations" snapped me
voice of the young woman.
"And another pity you didn't know
better than to discuss such matters
over a telephone" rctorted Mrs. All
mington, spicily. "But I'm glad you
did. for it gives me chance to tell you
you're little simpleton if YOU marry
that man, and you'll regret it before
the year is out. He's old enough to
be your father. and he wants you to
marry him before you've prepared
enough clothes to get you decently out
of town. He ought to be ashamed OF
himself. and you ought to be spanked.

And then Mrs. Admington hung up
the receiver with a rap that almost
broke the hook.

Model RoaGs.

Westchcster County's roads received
the highest commenlatiOn at the re-
cent National Good Roads Convention.
The highways running from New York
City to the Connecticut line ard to
Putnam County were regarded by the
Road Commissioners rs the most I'M
proved in the United States.
One Of the most praiseworthy fea-
lures of the Westchester road system
is that the same methods are not used
throughout the whole system, but they
are varied according to the soil, the
traffic and the grades.
Macadam is used for ordinary roads
where the grade is not steep. This
usually consists Of . base of four
inches of trap-rock broken into pieces
a little smaller than baseball. After
this has been thoroughly rolled three
inch layer of broken trap-rock OF
smaller size is placed on it and rolled.
On this rock screenings arc placed.
and these also are packed ard rolled.
The Westchcster roads improve OH this
formula by placing by hand labor
rows of stone on edge to the depth
of six inches to make 4 foundation for
the macadam.
On the grades ia where heavy
traffic is common fanite blocks lald
in concrete and dded in sand are
placed on the sa Ee foundation.

brick roads. which if0nds less expenS-

I.uu Y of the Kings County Pen
6 W7 @ itentiary. believes that the
4 w idle prisoners in the va
1o< rious prisons and peni-
tcntiaries in the State could be en-
ployed to great benefit to the State and
to themselves in the building of public
roads. If the convictS were thus put
ut work, the Warden believes, the
State would in time have the finest
system of highways in the country.
To demonstrate the practicability OF
his theory, the Warden is just now Ell
gagged in experimental work along
these lines. He is employing the idle
prisoners in the Kings County Peni
tentiary to lay out a street near the
prison.
This street is being laid through 4
large plot Of land owned by the county
to the south Of the penitentiary. The
street will be an extension of Mont
gOmery street. 1t is being cut through
Il Sandhill. and about 100 convictS are
being employed in the work. The priS-
Oners seem to enjoy the work. as there
is nothing for them to do in the p2ni-
tcntiary. and the rOad-building fills in
ltheir time and occupies their minds.
VI think said Warden Hayes, dis
HSSing his theory as to the employ
mcnt Of convicts. that the State might
well take up the question Of road
building by convictS. 1t would be Il
most excellent thing for both the Stale
and the convicts themselves. 1t would
keep prisoners from going insane for
want of employment. for one thing.
and yet would place them in no direct
competition with other workers. BY
tine employment of inmates of penal
institutions many miles of good roads
might be laid out in the State Al very
little cost.
The only expense the city will be
asked to stand in the laying out of
the street we are cutting through here
will be for the curbing. The road vii!
be about $50 feet long and 20 feet il
width. When we have cut down 20
the grade level we will lay Il good
macadam roadbed. most of the stone
for which we are taking out right here.
When this street is completed it will
be every bit as good a piece Of road
way as there is in Brooklyn. and its
cost will represent but very little more
than the expense of keeping the pris-
oncrS. which would have to be borne
by the county. anyhow, whether the
prisoners were at work OF ide."-Ncw

WANCERlUST.

Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the
West the sea,
And East and West the wanderlust that
will not let ME be;
1t works in me like madness, dear, to bid
me say good-by!
Fc- the seas call and the stars call, and oh.
the call OF the sky.
I know not where the white road runs, nor
what the blue hills are,
But man can have the sun for friend, and
for his guide star;
And there's no end of voyaging when once
the voice is heard,
For the river calls and the road calls, and
oh, the call of bird!
Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by
night and day
The old ships draw to home again, the
young ships sail away;
And come l may. but so l must, and If

You may put the blame on the stars and

Bleached cotton has been bleached by

remarks at the senatorial BAN

tainty to prevail among the SEM
atorial aspirants at Boise.
Judge Beaty's friends imagined
the speaker had reference to him,
while Judge Richards adherents
thought it was certainly their
hero as he was the only senator
ial candidate who favored the
local option and purity bills
and had given his time at the
demands of his con stituents that
the entire state should be bene-
flied. Then there was Judge
Stewart. A slight pang passed
through his anatomy as he
thought: 1T is. me-" But the
fact is they were all fooled. The
chairman had reference to
.Borah-at least that was the
way the company felt. However,
Brady is such a josher he may
have been only joking about

enthusiasm which followed the
remarks of the speaker.
