GOOD OUTFIT
FOR SPRAYING.
Should Not Cost More
Than Fifteen or Six
teen Dollars.

The Master of Grange, locat.
ed IN Jefferson county, wrote to
Professor H. A. Surface, the
State Zoologist, Harrisburg, Pa a,
for information as to the cost of a
spraying outfit. He mentioned
double acting sprayer with 25
feet of hose and a ten foot exten.
sion pole, as about the kind of an
outfit that the members of his
Grange would want. AS differ.
ent members had determined to
procure the necessary appara-
tus for spraying their trees, the
information was requested to be
given before the next meeting of
the Grange.
The cost of spraying apparatus
is question which has agitated
quite a good many farmers, some
of whom have deferred caring for
their trees and permitted the
San Jose scale to do great dam.
age, because of the idea that an
outfit is expensive. The letter
of Professor Surface, therefore,
in reply to the one received from
the Grange, will be of general IN
terest. Following Is a copy of
the letter:
Replying to your recent let
ter, l think you can get spray
ing outfit such as you mention,
for about fifteen or sixteen dol
lars. l would recommend the
following as complete outfit with
the pump; two 12t ft. sections of
hose (making twenty-five feet
with hose connections complete;
10 foot pole, or extension rod; a
stop.cock or shutoff at the pump,
and another between the hose
and extension rod; an eighth. turn
to go ON the far end of the exten.
sion rod; "Y" attachment which
will carrv two nozzles; aud two
good large nozzles of the "Mistry
Jr." or "f'riend" or "Brown"
type. believe that the upright
lever sprayer will prove more
satisfactory than the ordinary
barrel pump. 1t will not cost
much more, and will give higher
and evener pressure, with less
labor. You can buy such ap-
paratus from various firms, as
for instance: The Goulds Mfg.
Co., Seneca Falls, N. Y; The
Deming Co., Salem, O.; The Field
Force Pump Co., Elmira, N. Y;
The Spray Motor Co., Buffalo, N.
Y; Morrill, and Morley, Benton
Harbor, Mich; E. g. Brown and
Co., Rochester, N. Y; F. E.
Myers & Bro, Ashland, O., and
other reliable firms who are ad-
vertlslng IN the various hortlcul-
tural and agricultural papers. l
would recon mend that you COM
munlcate with each of these i'm
medlately and obtain prices, and,
if possible, get Grange Club
prices, which will doubtless give
you very considerable discount.
"Any agricultural or hortlcul-
tural organization can obtain from
those companies giving them, the
Grange discounts mentioned
above.''

THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
A Large Crowd Attended the Services
at The Baptist Church

The Thanksgiving services were
held in the Baptist Church, and
proved the experiment of having
such services in the evening, sue
cess. as many were turned away un-
able to get in.
The program in its entirety was
interesting, beginning with " The
Pilgrims Chorus on the organ, by
Miss Banks
The invocation by Rev. Reichel
followed when the mems double
quartet. composed of leading singers
from the different churches, gave a
very appropriate song of praise.
1t is to be regretted that our men
do not come together oftener and
exercise their talent for the pleasure
of the public
The scripture reading was given
by Mrs. L. C. Mauger of the Meth
odist Church.
The Woman's Chorus was then
heard in the 9TH Psalm Hear. o
Lord''-the music of which is the
exact music of Chopin's 18th pre-
lude. The music is exquisite in it's
self having an obligato that is sung
in such manner as to seem to come
from a distance, veritable cry to
the Lord, while the body of the Choir
us keep calling upon the Lord to
hear their cry.
The prayer of the evening was
made by Rev. r. Cooper Bailey, and
the offertory was a violin solo by
Miss Alice Cleaver.
The sermon by Rev. Nann;nga was
thoroughly appreciated. 1t was a
plain, simple, straightforward talk
on the uses and abuses of Thanks
giving services, and was listened
to with devout attention After a
second praise song by the quartet
the benediction was pronounced by
Mrs. F. Ellsworth Day of the
Christian Church, closing an. unusu-
al but helpful service.

A NOTABLE "SPREAD."
Elaborate Thanksgiving Dinner Al
The New National.

Landlord Spence, of the New Ma
tional, certainly made a reputation
for his hostelry last Thursday, in
the way he served his guests at
Thanksgiving dinner.
The menu for the occasion would
compare favorably with a like occa-
sion at any metropolitan hotel, and
those who were fortunate enough to
partake of Landlord Spences fare
upon that occasion, were loud in
their praise of the feast.
From the travelling men, as well
as the "home folks came many
compliments that caused the chef,
the walters, and Mr. Spence to smile
with satisfaction.
