BARREL SPRAY PUMP.

IRtsted with hose and bamboo extension
rods for orchard spraying.l
IA ordinary fifty gallon whisky or
Kerosene barrel forms an excellent
though inexpensive tank for holding
the spray. The pump, according to its
design, can be inserted in the end or
the side of the barrel. The barrel may
then be mounted to suit the operator

ONION MAGGOT.
Several Generations In a Season
CarboIic Acid HepeIient.
BY r. ii. PETTIT, Michigan.

BY r. II. PETIT. Michigan.
The common and destructive onion
maggot is the offspring of small fly
very much like the house fly In ap-
pearance. The eggs are laid on the
young onion plants in the spring. Sew
eral generations are produced during
the season.
Remedial measures consist in repel-
ling the adult flies that come to- lay
their eggs and in stimulating the young
plants to very vigorous growth by
means of commercial fertilizers and
cultivation. Pull out and destroy the
Young plants as soon as they show the
presence of the pests and do every
thing possible to stimulate the plants
to rapid growth. The best repellent
thus far discovered Is carbollc acid
emulsion diluted thirty times and ap-
piled with q sprinkler. 1t will be nee
essary to repeat the application at In
tervals of about a week, but good work
early in the season is sure to result in
reducing the number of the flies later
on.
CnrboIic Acid Emulsion.
Hard soap, one pound, or sort soap,
one quart; water (boiling), one gallon;
crude carboic acid, one pint.
The soap Is to be dissolved in the
water, and while it is still boiling hot
the acid is added and the whole churn-
ed by forcing the stream from the noz-
zle into the kettle, just as is done in
making kerosene emulsion. Dilute
with thirty times its bulk of water and
apply. If any injury results from the
use of this emulsion, dilute it still
more.

Hre Bound Over

Contrary to the expectations of many,
the defendants in the horse stealing
case, VIM. McCash and Henry Haley,
returned, yesterday. for the prelimi-
nary hearing. They were represented
by City Attorney Hendrix of Trinidad
in the justice court this morning, but
on the plea that new matters connected
with the case had developed since they
came the attorney requested to be al
lowed to waive examination for defend
ants and that they be bound over to the
next term of the district court, which
convenes next June. Defendants were
placed under $500 bonds each and the
large crowd which had gathered was
doomed to disappointment by the ad-
journment of court without any display
of legal talent.
1t is thought that the appearance of
the owners of the horses and the pros
poets of the State making a case that
couldn't be punctured gave the defense
cold feet. Undoubtedly they would
have been bound over to the district
court anyway and under these circum-
stances it was policy to waive ewamina-
ton. June is long wayG off and in
terest in the case will die down before
that time and the defendants will reap
the benefit.
The sheriff was instructed to turn the
horses over to their owners, provided
they give bond fer same which is being
done. McCash repaid w. c. Byers the
money received for the horses sold him
and II. z. Homsher has gone to get
them.
