MUCH TRAVEL FOR HEALTH
The trip from which Mr.. Hartman has just
returned was hts second 10 Europe and marked
nearly year OF travel for his health He was
returning from a trip South for his health on
January % when ne elected director Of
the New York Central. Less than a month later
on February II. he went into camp near San
Antonio Tex where he and members OF his
family and several friends spent a number OF
weeks in tents few miles south OF the town.
Early in March Mr.. Hartman made a trip
through Mexico, where he inspected the new
lines Of the Southern Pacific. On his return, he
went 10 Paso Robes. Hot Springs, where he
took the baths for rheumatism. When he arrived
in this city I'm April he planned a three months
trip abroad, and IL is from that trip that he has
just returned.
He was not expected back for several weeks.
and announcement OF plans for his sudden
turn caused much speculation as TO the condi-
ton OF his health. None Of the party yesterday
would say anything about the exact nature Of
Mr.. Harriman's ailment and the only expression
OF opinion on his condition came from Mr.. Har-
riman himself. who constantly declared that he
was Detttr.
Mr.. Harriman's immediate party on the
steamer on his return consisted OF himself and
Mrs Hartman and DR.. Lyle. his physician who
has been with him in Europe. Those who ac-
companied him 10 Arden were all members OF
his family, with the exception Of Robert Walton
Goelet, Alexander Millar. secretary OF the Union
Pacific. who had waited on the Erie pier for
three hours for Mr.. Hartman: Charles c. Tege-

up the piston to the handle of the
pump so as to get full stroke. AS
only a small amount of liquid is
needed in spraying, the object of this
reduction of cylinder Is to lessen the

reduction of three to two halves the
flow and doubles the pressure. Mount

board with the pump plunger by a
steel rod so that it will swing up and

should enter the barrel through an
opening made to pour in the liquid.

ORCHARD NOTES.

Keep the tree, like the animal, that
proves itself.
1t is said that alfalfa is Injurious
as an orchard sown crop.
If you plant your young orchard in
garden crops, ETC., don't fail to fer
tilize them.
What's the use of buying trees If
you are going to allow the horses and
COWS to destroy them?
Barnyard manure, cotton seed meal
and acid phosphates are excellent fer
tilizers for Irish potatoes.
1t is said that success with apples
in ATTITUDES below Red river is a mat
ter of variety, soil moisture and plant
food only.
1t requires some ingenuity to bring
tender, young plants through their
first three weeks of existence when
the sun is hitting them at about 100
degrees-but it pays.

you even. Although I guess I'm in a

Somehow or other Hank Harlin was
careless in putting his lead pads to
make the extra weight along with the
saddle, and the jockey lost ten pounds
of lead while he was at the post. Care
less of Hank, wasn't it? He's been
looking for a chance to double cross

would bet for him on the other horse"

Applejack, stood talking together. Doc
Floyd. watching the pair through his
fieldglasses from the grandstand, saw
Tony pass small package of book
makers tickets to Harlin.
They're off" came the buzzing cry
of the crowd in chorus as the barrier
over at the three-quarter pole whizzed
up and a field of eight horses leaped
forward. The blue and white striped
jacket and cap of Applejack showed in
front, while next in order and close
behind came Lemon Squeezer, both
horses running easily. Before they
had gone a quarter of the distance 1t
could be seen that the race was be-
tween the first two horses, and the
others were strung out in single file.
In the stretch came Applejack, run
ming without effort, with Lemon
Squeezer within safe call. A smile of
contentment rested upon the face OF
Tom Camp, down at the end of the
grandstand, while Floyd's counten-
ance wore a worried look and young
Hopkins was shivering in the excite
ment of lost hope
There, and I listened to you and
your tout" he said to Floyd as he saw
Applejack winning easily.

cession," muttered Floyd. And /
would have staked my right eye on
Tony. Why, that boy on Applejack is
racing him to death to win and the

"Applejack wins!" shouted the
crowd as the blue and white stripes
passed under the wire a good length
in front of Lemon Squeezer.

win with his own horse, Lemon
Squeezer He explains that it might
be suspicious to the judges If he didn't
win this race"
THAT means" explained Floyd.
that he intends that Applejack is to
win and his horse will be beaten out.
How much money have you got in
your pocket?'
"Oh, about $500"
well. go in the ring and make five
500 bets on Lemon Squeezer, but
don't bet it in our book. Camp has
given instructions to his bookmakers
to give a shade the best price on the
other fellows horse. He will have
commissioners there to get his own
money down quick and bet enough to
win out the bank roll on that one race.
That's the way he's got it fixed to win
our $4,000"
The two separated and entered the
betting ring from different ends of that
Enclosure. Floyd noticed that. true to
his prediction, the new partnership
book had put up to / on Applejack
while the other books were laying a
shade less than that price. A moment
afterwards he noticed that the part
nership bookmaker rubbed out the
price against Applejack, announcing
that he had all he wanted of it. Floyd
knew by this sign that Camp had bet
enough of his own money to win out
the money that was in the book. Walk
ing quietly through the ring, he
stopped long enough before number
of books to make several good-siZed
wagers on Lemon Squeezer. He al
ready had given Tony $1,000 to wager
on the same horse.
Thomas Camp, besides getting all
the money to be had in his own book,
also had wagered hundreds on Apple
jack in other books about the ring, and
was surprised to note when he re-
turned from the paddock, where he had
just saddled his horse and given final
instructions to the jockey, that the
price against Lemon Squeezer, his own
horse, had not gone up in the betting.
He was unaware that a large amount
of money bet by Floyd had forced the
price down. He had no time to inves.
tigate, however, as the horses already
were at the post, and he hurried to a
point of vantage from which he could
view the race.

CARE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS
Morning While the Dew Is
Still On.

Seeds of parsnips, carrots, onions
and satisfy should be gathered wher
the seeds are fully ripe, says writer
in the Baltimore American. Cut the
seed heads early in the morning, wher
the dew is on; the seeds will not scat
ter out; place on canvas sheets ant
expose to the sun for few days te
dry out Only the largest and fully
developed heads should be gathered
as these heads will always have the
heaviest and choicest seed. The seeds
should not be allowed to get wet
Place the. sheets containing the seeds
in a room free from mice for few
weeks to harden before putting In
paper sacks.
