Innocence Abroad.

Booker T. Washington told the fol-
lowing story Of an old southern darky
who was sent for the first time to the
postoffice to mail four letters:
His employer not having the neces-
sary change to pay the postage, told
the darby to pay it, and he would re-
pay him the next day. The old negro
started down the road and about an
hour later reached the postoff1ce.
Boss" he said, looking in through
the stamp window, ''how much do 1t
tex ter SEN TO- letters for Massa John
son?'
Eight cents" replied the clerk from
within the window.
Dat so?'' interjected the negro.
Eyes, uncle"
The old darky studied awhile, took
out leather bag and worried eight
coppers out Of the lining. Laying
these on the counter, he drew long
breath and said:
"Well, yo' en- let 'em go long"
"But where are the letters?' asked
the clerk.
"Whar is dey? Why, done drapt
'em in de hole roun' yonder. "-Phila-

SIMPLE SPRAYING APPARATUS.

simply compressed between the thumb
and forefnger, making fanlike spray
that can be readily directed in any
quarter. AIRY outfit for spraying trees
Isl likely to contain nozzles that can
adapted to spraying liquids over an
mails. For those who do not possess
a spraying apparatus and do not care
to purchase the more expensive outfits
one Of the cheaper pumps put out by
firms handling such goods will serve
the purpose very we'll.
The illustration Of spraying outfit
given represents the character Of some
of the less expensive ones offered for
sale. There should be considerable
force to the Jet Of fluid, and the spray
must not be too finely divided, other
wise the liquid will not penetrate be-
tween the hair and thoroughly wet the
skin, as it must dc TO be effective.

Early Cut Alfalfa.

At the Utah experiment station
steers made most rapid gain when
fed upon early cut alfalfa either with
or without an accompanying ration of
grain. By early cut hay was meant
hay cut just before bloom. The gain
upon this early cut alfalfa hay was
one-third more than that upon hay cut
when in full bloom or later. 1t was
also found that more hay was pro-
duced from the early cuttings and that
the third crop gave more rapid gains
than either the first or second, which
latter are nearly equal in this respect.

The meteorological records Of the
state Of New Jersey are said to afford
abundant proof that there is a very
frequent shortage of water during the
growing season and most serious in
those sections peculiarly adapted for
the growth of vegetables and small
fruits. Investigations made for the
purpose are referred to as evidence
that there are in the state at least 75,-
600 acres that can be irrigated easily
without the use Of storage reservoirs
and more than 100000 acres if the
streams be fully utilized by storage.
1t is believed that the watering Of
100000 acres of the area that has been
indicated is entirely practicable. Most
of this land is situated on the Atlantic
slope, and but little of it is under cult
walton at present.
