HOW SPRAYING MIXTURES
ARE MADE AND HANDLED
Platform Used for Years by Now YorR Hort,cultur,ss
with improvements as Time

The accompanying illustration gives
good idea Of a practical spraying
platform which has been In use for
years, with much success. The roof
Is not shown, and while desirable, is
not necessary. The enclosed part Is
ten BY sixteen feet, seven feet above
the ground, with an open platform
three by twelve feet, and three feet
below the level Of the rest. About the
only use we make Of this platform Is
transferring barrels of lime and sacks
Of copper sulphate, etc., from the
wagon to the mixing platform, where
the difference in level Is a great con.
Venience, enabling two men to handle
q barrel of lime easily, and in filling
the wagon tank this low platform en-
ables a man to handle the hose from
the mixing tanks without getting into
a tortuous position.
The water supply tank is set four
feet above the platform level, and in
one corner out Of the way. This may
hold 300, 400 or 500 gallons. Close to
this, and along the edge Of the plat.

The sewing screens are in many
ways the greatest comfort a sewer can
have, for everything is ready to use
the moment it is wanted. They are
made with either two or three panels,
covered on the outside with brocade,
cretonne or some such firm material.
The covering may be fastened on with
brass-headed nails or finished with a
gimp. On the inner side are the vari-
Gus pockets and straps to hold the ar
ticles used in sewing.
The pockets are made of the same
material as the outer covering, put on
. with a little fullness, and an elastic in
the top. They may be of any size one
chooses. On the middle panel of a
three-pahel screen or ore side of a
Iwo-panel is little wooden shelf,
fastened with chains at the outer cor
ners. This folds up when the screen
Is put away and hangs in horizontal
position when in use, serving as q
table to put things on. Two little
cross bars Of wood have small spikes
to hold sp0ols, and under these Is q

bold papers Of needles. Over the shelf

A Postcard Hunt.

Most children are ardent post card
collectors. so this party will appeal
to them, There should be- enough
cards to permit Of each guest having
three or four when the final distribu
ton takes place. Use ordinary cards,
inexpensive, with few colored ones
and a half a dozen with Christmas
symbols. Hide them throughout the
rooms, explaining that uncolored
cards score one, colored ones count
two points, and Christmas cards score
three. Allow ten minutes for the
hunt then blow a whistle, which
means that all turn In their cards to
have the score made up, The Christ
mas cards 90 to the winners, aud the
remaining cards are divided equally
between the guests, after reading oil

The rat Is the worst mammalian
pest known to man. Its depredations
throughout the world result In losses
amounting to hundreds Of millions Of
dollars annually. But these losses,
great as they are, are Of less impor.
lance than the fact that rats carry
from house to house and from seaport
to seaport diseases Of all sorts.
Few attempts have been made to
collect statistics Of damage done by
rats in America, but 1t is known to be
very great. Farmers suffer enormous
losses, both before and after their
crops are harvested, from these pests.
Among methods for driving away
rats that have proved useful under
some circumstances are the follow.
ing:
l. Freshly slaked lime placed dry in
all burrows and runs Of rats.
2. Freshly made thin whitewash
poured into the rat burrows.
3. A strong solution of copperas
ferrous sulphate) sprinkled in runs
and burrow entrances.
4. Chord of lime, loose or In old
rags, placed in burrows and runs.
5. Gas tar daubed about the burrow
entrances.
6. Powdered red pepper scattered in
rat runs and burrows.
Z. Gas tar daubed about the bur.
row entrances.
8. Caustic potash placed in the bur.
rows and runs.
The best bait to use in trapping Is
usually food Of a kind that the rats
do not get in the vicinity. As far as
possible, food other than the bait
should be inaccessible while trapping
is in progress. The bait should be
kept fresh and attractive, and the kind
changed when necessary. Bats and
traps should be handled as little as
possible. Ordinarily, traps should be
frequently cleaned or smoked.
About so years ago a writer in the
CGrnhill Magazine gave details of a
trap of which 1t was claimed that
5000 rats we're caught in a ware
house in single night. The plan in.
volved tolling the rats to the place
and feeding them for several nights
on the tops Of barrels covered with
coarse brown paper. Afterward a
cross was cut in the paper, so that the
rats fell into the barrel. Many varia-
tons Of the plan, but few improve
ments upon 1t, have been suggested
by agricultural writers since that
time. Reports are frequently made of
large catches Of rats by means of a
barrel fitted with a light cover of
wood, hinged on a rod so as to turn
with the weight of a rat, as shown in
illustration No. 2.
The Burmese use an ingenious and
simple method of trapping rats. Al
large jar with weighted cover is
sunken into the ground. A hole is
punched in the side Of the Jar on
level with the surface of the ground

form, are two mixing tanks, made by
saving a 2O0gallon oil barrel through
the middle. A discharge hose from
each of these joins together by means
of "Y" connection into one hose. II
will be found convenient to have a
hose of large diameter 1.-TWO inches)
with a valve shut-on near the tank,
and just low enough to reach either Of
he mixing tanks, and another five
tighths or one-inch hose long enough
10 reach any part Of the platform, with
/ shut-off nozzle. On the corner across
rom the supply tank is a lime-slaking
box, about two feet wide, four feet
long, and one foot deep, elevated three
leet from the platform. This is pro-
yided with a four or ive-inch slide
opening and spout on the end near the
bottom. Half barrel of lime is
dumped into this mixing box, the op-
traitor stands on box one or two feet
high and uses hose and hoe to com.
plete the shaking. The mixture is
then run out Of the spout through a
strainer into 50-gsllon barrel. This
barrel is then filled up, and one gal.
lon will contain two pounds Of lime.
The barrels for the different solutions
are placed where convenient. In dis.

Feed for Sheen

Sheep are better fitted to grind
their own grain than most animals,
SO 1t Is not necessary to do this work
unless the sheep have poor teeth. Val.
liable breeding ewes are sometimes
kept until quite old and their feed
should be ground. Bowel troubles are
generally caused by errors In feeding.
Success attends only the breeder who
takes the utmost pains In selecting
his stock. A combination Of quality
and size should be aimed for in breed.
