Barrel pumps may be flied with
two leads of hose, so that while one
man drives the cart and works the
pumps, two other men are busy man
aging the hose and nozzle. The bar
rell apparatus is especially desirable
in treating very large orchards. 50
that by driving down the middle be-
tween two rows at least one side of
the row on each side can be treated
In ordering the barrel pump, it is
we'll to get at least twenty feet of
extra hose for each of the two leads
(forty feet in alD. With the barrel
pumps it is also especially desirable
to purchase extension rods as is men,
toned further on in this article
These will enable you to treat tall
fruit trees to much better advantage
Prices of the barrel apparatus will
vary greatly, depending upon the
length of extra hose, whether pur-
chased with or without the barrel,
etc. Prices will run anywhere from
$40 to $50 for complete outfit. The
Pomona" pump, made and sold by
Goulds Manufacturing Company, is
a good one.
Field Sprayers.
These are fitted with barrel or tank
and several nozzles attached at tie
hind end of the wagon or carts, so
that several rows of potatoes, straw
berries, Or other similar crops may
be sprayed at once. Some are made
with interchangeable parts so that

by II. B. Rusler, Johnstown, Ohio.
We believe that Mr.. Rusler makes
the cheapest serviceable bucket pump
which we know. The various types
of bucket pumps may be purchased
at from 50 to 81. In ordering, you
should ask for not less than eight
feet of extra hose and conections, so
that you will be able to reach to the
tops of fruit trees.
Compressed Air Sprayers.
These are so made that the pump
fits into an air-tight can which is
partly filed with the spraying mix
ture. By pumping the air in the tank
placed under the pressure it forces
the spray out automatically for sew
eral minutes. In our experience, how

and of course, each has his own rea-
sons for claiming that his is the best.
Hence, we cannot tell you whether
you should buy an apparatus made
by Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Jones, for both
may be entirely honest and the appa-
ratus of one may be as good as that
of the other. But In this article we
purpose to give you information
which will enable you to decide what
kind of pump you want, i. e., wheth-
er bucket, compressed air, knapsack,
barrel or field sprayer. Having
reached a conclusion as to which of
these kinds you want, you can then
make your own selection after exam
lining the catalogues of the various
manufacturers. With the discussion
of each kind of pump, we will indi-
cate the particular makes which we
have used, or which we have every
reason to believe is entirely satisfac-
tory. Of course, it must be under
stood that we have not tested all of
the different kinds. Here is list of
some of the manufacturers of spray
ing apparatus:
VIM. Stahl, Box ok, Quincy, Ill.
y Gould's Manufacturing Co., Sene-
ca Falls, N. Y.
J. f. Gaylord, Catskill, N. Y.
Field Force Co., 229 18th St., FL

Deming Co., Salem, Ohio (this firm
is represented by Sydnor Pump &
Well Co., Richmond, Va.)
Morel & Morley. Benton Harbor.
Mich.
Spramotor Co., Buffalo. N. Y.
E. @. Brown Co., Rochester, N. Y.
Rochester Spray Pump Co., Roch-
ester, n. Y.
III. B. Rusler, Johnstown, Ohio.
Any of these firms will send you
catalogues and price lists ON applica-
tion. Be sure to ask for their infor-
nation regarding spraying apparat-
US, as many of them deal in all sorts
of other pump apparatus besides.
Bucket Pumps.
These are the most simple and
cheapest of the serviceable spray
pumps. They are so made that they
can be placed in a bucket with the
mixture and the whole carried about
from place to place and set down
wherever it is, desired to use them.
There is a foot-rest outside the
bucket by which the pump can be
held steady by the operator. Bucket
pumps are good for limited use as
for experimental purposes, or for use
on few trees or vines. Their prin-
cipal disadvantage lies in the fact
that they are carried about by hand
and have to be set down at each sepa-
rate place where there is work to be
done. Also the bucket pump will
only hold two or three gallons of the
mixture at the most. For the man
with small orchard. or for the man
who cannot sDeDd uouob for O ,,,,,,,,,

but the editorial in the Capital at
tacks the quality of the grafton. That
part referring to Mr.. Summers is as
follows: i.
Williamson S. Summers. of Oma-
ha, former United States district at
torney for Nebraska, delivered a speech
with word paintings having no partic-
ular reference to anything. Such
speeches are frequently heard, but no
one is ever able to give reason why
such stuff should pass for oratory. A
we'll rounded period amounts to moth
ing unless there is a thought in 1t,
which fact Mr.. Summers seems to lose
sight Of"
Secretary A. II. Dawson, Of the exec
utive council, states that there are a
few duplicate cards received in the
census returns, but the number Is
never such as would indicate any fraud
intent. He believes that there will be
no more Implications, that there are
persons missed altogether and the
number Of both will be very small.
The executive council has as yet not
determined on any plan Of giving out
returns. None have been given out
thus far and will not be given out un-
til the council has reached some con-
clusion in the matter. It is thought
probable that returns may be given
out for any city or county when the
auditor reports the returns completed,
but the auditors have till July l to
make returns and If any are sent in
after the returns have been reported
complete they will be counted up to
July 1. For this reason IL the census
of any city is given out before July
it will be with the explanation that
the figures may be changed later on.
In number of instances the college
population Of town has been sent to
the various cities where the students
reside and the census returns are be-
ing tabulated ON that basis. Every
school has been heard from except the
state university. It is believed that the
college census has been taken more
accurately than ever before.

claim Of Starr j. Murphy, of the

Teller, that assertions made by DR..

ports of Mr.. Reckefeller's testimony
In the courts:

testimony was given there were two
companies under discussion. Ths
Southern Improvement Company and
the South improvement Company.
Mr.. Rockefellers answer related tn
4 the first named company and was a
true answer. because with that com
pany Mr.. Rockefeller had nothing to
do. have searched the records to
which Mr.. Murphy cities me, and can
find but one company with name
like this upon the record Of the ses-
sion laws OF Pennsylvania for 1870
ana 1871. It is possible that such &
charter may have been granted, but
no such company was incorporated
on the day he names, May 6, 1871.
No such title is in the index of that
volume. The only company can find
bearing name similar to this was
that which was Incorporated within,
those two years as the Southern Im-s;
provement Company.
This in fact, was the name Of
the company whose charter was piir-
chased by Mr.. Rockefeller and HIS
friends.

ARMY MAN Is SUICIDE
Capt. w. A. Raibourn Ends His Life
After Woundins Lieut.. w. II. Point
Fear Of 4 Court Martial.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 1. - AS
result of his arrest for neglect OF
duty, Capt. w. A. Raibourn Of the
Twenty ninth infantry shot and killed
himself Sunday at Fort Douglas after
twice wounding First Lieut.. William
H. Point of the same regiment. Points
wounds are severe, but he probably
will recover.
Capt. Raibourn was officer Of the
day last Tuesday. He failed to report
for duty, hut ifHtead care to this city,;
where he remained for twenty -four
hours. He was placed under arrest
in his quarters, but violated his arrest
Friday. Yesterday Lieut.. Point was
detailed to rearrest him and bring him
back. The captain was found in a
Salt Lake saloon Saturday night, and
was taken back to the post by Point.
Upon their arrival at Raibourn's
quarters the lieutenant remarked:
well, captain. made, you come
back with me-
II am glad, too," Raibourn replied.
AS the lieutenant turned to leave,
Capt. Raibourn produced his revolver.
Point exclaimed: Now, captain,
don't do anything foolish
Without reply, Raibourn began to
shoot. Point fell to the ground wound
ed and Raibourn then blew out his OWE
brains.
Captain Raibourn had been rated one
of the most efficient officers Of the
regiment when sober, but during the
last three years he had been drinking
heavily and could not be depended
upon.
Following his arrest last week, Raj
bourn refused to accept a court martial,
but forwarded his resignation to Wash
ington, asking that he be permitted 10
leave the service. He was 35 years
of age, unmarried, and had worked his
way up from the ranks. He enlisted as
a private in 1891 and made a good rec
ord during the Spanish American war
and the Philippine insurrection. His
remains will be sent to his home in
Oakland City, Ind. where his mother
and two sisters reside. He has a bro-
ther living in Chicago His brother
officers attribute his deed to tempor-
ary insanity, growing out of his dissi-
patton and at the prospect q a dis
honorable discharge from t.-a serv-

Enlisted From Iowa.
Lieutenant Point is married and has

mother and sisters at the fort. He was
captain in the Fifty-first Iowa vol
unteers during the war in the Phillip
pines and entered the regular army
after his volunteer regiment was mus
tered out He recently passed sue
cessfully his examination for promo
ton to captaincy and is now await
ing his appointment.
The two officers are said to have
been the best Of friends. They were
associated together in the Philippines
and always have appeared to be on ex-
