Frequent spraylnas.

The novice in spraying cannot af.
ford to be so careless about his spray.
lngs that he will miss the end for
which he is working. Neither should
he try to get along with the fewest
possible number OF sprayings. The
best sprayers have indeed reduced the
number to the minimum, but they
are experienced men that have
learned to make every spraying count
for the most possible.
In many cases 1t has been found
that so far as the orchard is con.
cerned, four spraylngs in spring give
the greatest returns, while spraying
every two weeks from the middle of
April to the middle Of August give
the greatest proportion of perfect
fruit. The additional spraylngs cost
more than the additional fruit Is
worth, as a general thing.
Taking all things into considera.
ton the method that will pay the best
consists in spraying the trees as soon
as the blossoms fall and then every
two weeks till four sprayings have
been given. The spraylngs must be
well done If they are to be OF any
value. Slipshod work will not
prove effective in preventing the raw,
ages OF insect and fungous pests.
Leaving the work to the boys is new.
or profitable. 1t requires mature judg.
ment and thoroughness to do the work
as It should be done.

You are right, captain, and | compli-
ment you on your cooperation. The
officers are notified and the fight will
be prevented"
The sun had not thought about shin
ing upon Merrie England when the
captain left his couch on Tuesday
morning. Like thoughtful husband
he put on his clothes quietly so as not
to disturb Mrs Crabbes matutinal
slumbers and putting an odd looking
package in his pocket sailed out. II
it was the captains purpose to aid in
the prevention of the fight he went
about 1t in an odd fashion. Every
body in Henley knows that the short
est way to Oldham's Woods is past
the mill and over the footbrldge going
due south. The captain bent his way
due north. He crossed the Spring
Farm, toiled through the bracken, be-
coming dew sodden, and then veered
into a sequestered vale surrounded by
woodland
He was not the only one in the vale.
Some hundred rough looking men
were there and there was ring being
roped off.
eli guess Bowly's tramplng towards
Holdham's Woods by now" muttered
tho captain, taking deep interest In
the proceedings.
When the brawny champions en-
tered the ring the captain had no diff
Guilty in getting an excellent position
to view the fight. In fact. he seemed
marvelously familiar with the whole
proceedings and spoke to one or two
sportive looking men by their first
names, being Familiarity addressed by
them as Gap"
Greatly relieved to see that none OF
Hemley's citizens we're present, the
captain gave himself up heart and
soul to the fight. The Sheffield Game
cock had much the best Of 1t at the
start and handled the Kid as he
pleased.
Five pun to four on the Game
cock" called a spectator, hoarsely.
Hon." yelled the captain, hand
doubled II you've the grit"
Doubled 1t Is," replied the man.
The Kid then dealt the Gamecock a
blow perilously near that point of a
mans physique beneath which a blow
is barred by the rules OF manly sport.
Foul, foul" shrieked a voice won.
drously familiar to the captain.
He peered past a bulky gentleman
by his side and there stood Mr.. Bowly.
red faced and angry, shaking his fist
under the nose Of a man who was In
a deep voice denouncing him as a liar.
The captain shrunk back behind his
bulky companion and remained hidden
until the Kid with a fierce rally had
transformed the Gamecock's face into
a mass Of bruised and bloody flesh and
was hailed victor.
Collecting his bet the captain skunk
away with the certainty that he had
not been seen by Mr.. Bowly and en-.
tering the woods drew out the pack
age from his pocket and took a long
dram OF spirits. Then he FASTENED
home and informed his spouse that
he had taken a walk for indigestion.

That afternoon the captain walked
down the street with that pleasant
feeling that is the colcomitant Of
bet of ten pounds won by keen knowl-
edge of form" when he met Mr.. Bow
ly.
That gentleman's usually benign
countenance was ruffled as if some UNI
pleasant circumstance had happened
to him during the morning.
Il regret, captain" he said, chat
we were misinformed as to the place
where the fight was to be held. 1t
occurred, am told, somewhere to the
north"
Hit was a great pity" remarked
the captain. "Hi couldn't go with the
constable this morning. Hits a great
pity"
Il couldn't go, either" said Mr..
Bowly, land regret greatly this mis-
carriage of justice"
And the captain continued his walk
slowly shaking his head.

Use Steamed Bono Meal.

A good many farmers are putting
bone meal on their lands at the rate
Of 200 pounds to the acre, for the
purpose of restoring the phosphorus.
Many of them are, however, making
the mistake Of putting on raw bone
meal instead Of steamed bone meal.
In all cases the steamed bone meal
should be used, as 1t is as rich or
richer in phosphorus than the other
kind and costs less. This lessened
cost is due to the fact that the bones
before being ground were steamed tc
get the value OF the nitrogen they
contain. All the phosphorus was left
In, and that Is what the farmer is
principally after when he buys bone
meal. Professor Hopkins and Other
experlmenters are continually calling
the attention Of the farmer to this
matter, but there are many that seem
to pay no heed and go on buying the
more expensive kind. This Is a case
where the cheapest is the best.

Missouri ErIut crop.

l.. A. Goodman, secretary OF the
Missouri State Horticultural Society,
reports that the peaches have been
quite generally killed. The thermom.
eter in February went down to IS de.
grees below zero In some parts OF the
state and even as low as 80 below
zero In other parts. It is believed
that peach buds will not stand more
than IA degrees below zero. The great
bulk OF the peach buds In Missouri
are therefore dead. Raspberrles and
blackberries are also injured, Plums,
cherries and pears came through the
winter fairly well. Apples. hardy va.
rietles Of grapes and strawberries are
uhlnjured and promise well.

Mr.. Bowly walked up the main
street of Henley. If ever good man
walked up that street he was doing
1t then. Goodness lay in every fold OF
the fat smooth shaven face, immov-
able virtue was expressed by the tight
" tied white cravat under the double
chin. Mr.. Bowly was prominent in
the board of the wesleyan chapel OF
Henley and when he was not doing
his best to improve this sinful world
he was selling ropes and groceries In
his ship chandlery on the wharf.
When he came to Captain Crabbe's
house, in the Square, he knocked at
the door and was admitted. Captain
Crabbe was also a good man and he
was also prominent in the chapel. Inc
captain was a Londoner and had re-
tired from the sea and settled in Hem
ley In the old days he had been
sinful man, he said so himself in the
experience meetings, and at times in
a social chat he would recount the
deeds of his unregenerate days with
grin about his lips and light in his
eyes as if the cakes and ale still had
a SAVIOR on his palate. But those days
had passed, no man could Guido the
captain in righteous language and con-
duct since his joining the church.
Brother Crabbe," said Mr.. Bowly,
seating himself with grunt, for he
was fat, 81 have heard a rumor, a bad,
a shocking rumor." He watched Cap
tain Crabbes face closely as he said
this.
What ave you card, Brother Bow
ly?" asked the captain. He also re-
garded Brother Bowly's countenance
with interest.
There is a rumor," replied Mr..
Bowly, that a prize fight is to come
OF near Henley. That the peace and
order of this quiet town Is to be pro-
famed by such a rowdy gathering Is
horrible"

the captain, looking out OF the win

ly.
I'VE must surely stop It," agreed
the captain. lave you card where

"At Oldhams Woods" replied Mr..
Bowly; "at least, that's my informa-
ton"
That's where HI card It d be-.
said the captain. "Hi'll see Mr.. Grub,
the magistrate, and you'd better see
Mr.. Hunch, the constable"
"I'l do It," assented Mr.. Bowly.
ooh, that such beautiful spot as
Oldham's Woods should be dehled by

men,"
The guardians Of the peace and or

captain took from his pocket an lily

Beginning of "Lloyds."

Two centuries ago man who had
a cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid of some Of the
risk by inducing a friend to take an
interest with him. 1t was necessary
to write out a statement of contract
to which the guarantors subscribed;
this was the first underwriting. These
two men happened to be frequenters
of Lloyd's coffee house in London,
which was a favorite place for the
merchants of the town to gather to
discuss business or to gossip. Others
Immediately saw the advantage Of the
scheme which their colleagues had de-
vised, and on the next voyage the risk
was parceled out among a larger num-
Der of the patrons of the coffee house.
Out Of this small beginning has grown
the great European maritime agency,
still bearing the name Of the humble
coffee house.
