THE LADIES' AID.

We've put a fine addition on the
good old church at home,
It's just the latest kilter, with a gal
lery and dome.
1t seats thousand people-finest
church in all the town;
And when 'tkas dedicated, why, we
planked ten thousand down;
That is, we paid five thousand
every deacon did his best
And the ladies' aid society, promis-
ed all the rest.
We've got an organ in the church
very finest in the land;
It's got a thousand pipes or more,
its melody is grand.
And when we sit in cushioned pews
and hear the master play,
1t carries us to realms of bliss, un-
numbered miles away.
1t cost a cool three thousand, and
it's stood the hardest test;
Wen pay thousand on it, the la
dies aid the rest.
They'll give a hundred sociables,
cantatas, too and teas;
They'll bake thousand angel cakes,
and tons of cream they'll freeze.
They'll beg and scrape and toll and
sweat for seven years or more,
And then they'll start all DER again,
for a carpet on the floor.
No; it isn't just like digging out the
money from your vest,
When the ladies' aid gets busy and
says, Wen pay the rest"
OF course, we're proud of our big
church, from pulpit up to spire;
1t is the darling of our eyes, the
crown of our desire,
But when l see the sisters work to
raise the cash that lacks,
! somehow feel the church is built
on women's tired backs.
And sometimes l can't help thinking,
when we reach the regions blest
That men will get the toll and sweat
and the ladies' aid-the rest.

THE WEEK I'm WAYNE =
FOLKS IN THE SHIRE ARE DOING.

fashioned Vermorel as these are en-
tirely superseded by the improved
kinds.
In the selection of a barrel spray
er, or indeed any sprayer, the most
important points to consider are
Simplicity of construction, i.e., spray
pumps should be as simple as possi-
BILE, containing no more parts than
are necessary, and there will be then
less to get out of order. All parts of
the pump should be readily accessi-
BILE, in order that repairs when need
ed can be easily made.
The durability of pump depends
upon the quality and kind of the ma
terial used in it's construction.
Valves, plungers and stu1fing box
shouldbe made of such material as is
not corToded by the spray fluid.
Brass is the metal used in the best
pumps, and is so much better than
iron that no difference in price
should lead anyone to buy those
whose working parts are made of
iron. Porcelain and glass would
seem to be the ideal material for the
construction of some of these parts,
but with one or two exceptions they
are not now in use. A wrought iron
handle on spray pump would be
a, great improvement, as the cast iron
handles are soon broken on spray
pumps owing to their constant hand
ling.
The packing of the cylinder
should be of a material that is both
lasting and also easily replaced when
worn out. Hemp, candlesticking,
steam packing and various other
packings made of these materials un-
der trade names are the best. Leath-
er hardens too rapidly to be of much
use as packing, and is undesirable.
For large number of small trees
and field crops the favorite type to
use would seem to be the traction
sprayer. This machine generates its
own power by having a pump geared
to the wheels. Six rows of potatoes
or two rows of trees can be treated
simultaneously with the best traction
sprayers.
For large orchards of bearing
trees the proper outfit to use is the
| power sprayer. These are of two
kinds, viz: Gasoline and Compressed
tAir. The Gasoline sprayers are fitted
with an engine which generates the
power as needed, while the Com
pIeSSeu All SpTdyerS are operated Dy
a tube charged with a stationery en-
gine with a pressure of upwards, OF
200 pounds to the cubic inch. This
charged tube is attached to the spray
tank from which it forces the fluid
as needed.
l think it wise to get an outfit
with somewhat greater capacity
than the orchard now needs, since
the work is sure to increase with the
growth of the trees"

Since our last writing two more
homes in our town have been made
desolate by the entrance of death.
On Friday, January 13, Frank j.
Thornton died at his home at the
Eddy of consumption of the lungs
after an illness of about two years.
He was a glass cutter of much abil-
ity and had been employed by the
Maple City Glass Company. He was
highly esteemed by a wide circle of
friends who, together with a body
of Hawley Odd Fellows, which lodge
he was a member, gathered at his
late home Monday afternoon where
the funeral services were conducted
by his pastor, Rev. d. p. Ripley.
The deceased was born in Detroit,
Mich, September 20, 1861. His
immediate survivors are his widow
and four children-Charles, Edith,
Edna and Earl. He was laid to rest
in the Walnut Grove cemetery, the
Odd Fellows having charge of the
burial service.
Mrs. Jennie Tuthill, wife of f. r..
Stevenson, passed away at her home
at the Eddy Sunday evening, Jan.
10. She had been ailing for a long
time with stomach trouble and it
was decided by her physicians that
an operation was necessary and on
Wednesday, January IL, the opera
tion was performed by DR.. Lambert,
| Port Jervis, assisted by Drs. Skinner
and Gesner of same city, and DR.. G.

trouble. She rallied from this and
it was at first thought she would re-
cover, but peritonitis set in and all
hopes were abandoned. Deceased
was born in Hawley in the year OF
| 1868. She was loyal and true
friend, loving and devoted wife and
mother whose departure from the
home leaves the sorrowing husband

Ants and Reaches.

For the destruction of Ants and
Reaches, which often become an
noying in the household, the follow
ing letter by Prof. Surface, Harris
burg, to Chambersburg lady will
be found interesting:
You can kill the water bugs or
reaches, of which you write, by
putting where they can get it, a
preparation known as Roach Food"
which is for sale by many of the
drug stores or department stores.
Also, l understand that a prepara-
tion of two parts flour, one part
powdered sugar, and one part plas-
ter of paris, mixed well together,
and left where they can eat it, will
kill them, and will be perfectly
harmless. Powdered borax blown
into the cracks they inhabit will
drive them away.
For the ants it is best to trace
them to their nests, by following the
path which they make, and when
this is located, which may be down
the side of the wall, or in a stump
of a tree, pour into it quantity of
benzine, gasoline, or even common
kerosene oil. If you can thus kill
the queen, you may be sure that the
entire trouble. will be entirely and
permanently ended.
You can catch many of them
by dipping a large porous sponge in
to dilute syrup or sugar solution, and
placing it where they can get into
it, and then occasionally dropping it
into boiling water, and afterward
batting it, and placing it again for
them -

Spraying Outfits.
ANAAi
ton.

At this season of the year many
letters reach the office of Prof. H. A.
Surface, Economic Zoologist of the
State Department of Agriculture,
Harrisburg, Pa, asking for informa-
ton on the type of spray pump to
purchase for use in their orchards.
The following letter is published
in the hope that it will answer many
questions in the minds of citizens of
this state who are contemplating the
purchase of spraying outfits:
Il have your letter of recent date
and note thatyou are about to pur-
chase spraying outfit, and ask me
what kind of pump to buy. In or
der to advise you intelligently
should have to know a number of
things about your orchard, it's extent,
and the size of your trees or crops
to be treated, and as l am not ac-
quainted with your needs, | shall
have to confine my reply to a general
discussion of spraying machinery.
AS stated the type and size of
spray pump should be selected to
meet the needs of the work to be
done. For spraying shrubbery about
the house, or small fruit bushes and
garden crops, the small and mex
pensive hand sprayers or compressed
air or knapsack sprayers can be used
with good results, since while it re-
quires more time to cover a given
amount of work than with the larger
sprayers, where one has plenty of
time, the small hand sprayer will do
the work with the least outlay for
apparatus. Please do not, however,
make the mistake of attempting to
spray large fruit trees with a small
hand sprayer, as no effective work
can be done, and all attempts of this
| kind tend to discourage and disgust
the beginner in the important and
profitable work of spraying.
For the ordinary farm orchard
containing two or three dozen fruit
! trees of various classes, such as ap-
pie, peach, plum, pear and cherry,
would recommend the use of the or
binary barrel spray pump. These
outfits are manufactured by many
! concerns, and consist of a force
pump with air chamber mounted in g
barrel to receive the spray fluid. At.
tached to the pump there should be
from % to so feet of discharge hose
and to this fitted an extension tube
or rod of about 8 feet. The exten
sion rOu is important, since III is only
by this means that the spray can bt
applied to all parts of the tree eff
fectively. Fine spray can not be
blown more than or feet, ant
any sprayer which is recommended
to send the fluid from the ground tt
the tops of tall trees, you may know
does not atomize the application suf
ficiently to do good work. The noz
zles should be connected with tn,
spray rod by means of a one-eightl
! turn or elbow, which will enable tn,
operator to turn the spray in all di
| rections by a rotary motion of tn,
rod.
The nozzles are a very importan
part of the make up of any spra.
pump, and care should be taken II
choosing these. Select the large
: types which contain wide channels in
side and are provided with removabl
steel discs of different sized aper
