| A barrel outfit consists Of good
strong pump and agitator adjusted In
q barrel holding 80 gallons can be

One man can drive and pump. while

Such an outfit Is satisfactory for small

upon the tank from which the tops
of good sized trees can be sprayed.
One man can drive and pump. and
one or two can spray. Some device
to keep the mixture agitated should
be provided. This is frequently driven
by the sprocket gear attached to one
Of the wagon wheels The man who
pumps can give the mixture frequent
agitation with paddle or large
wooden hoe.
A tank holding ;.bout 400 gallons
will cost about $40. The pump costs
about s2b.
A gas power outfit consists. Of a
tank Of so to 200 gallons capacity to-
hold the spray liquid. into which is
fitted an agitator. An iron tube con-
tanning carbonic acid gas furnishes
the power. The tubes Of gas are pur

large orchards and the engine can be
used for various purposes on the farm.
The engine is usually mounted on the

GOOD sEED-GooD CROPS.

Good seed is one Of the important
factors in the production of good
crops. Good seed should be plump,
heavy IN weight, should terminate
Well. and be free from weed-seeds, and
should be pure as to variety. Clean
Ing and grading seed grain is likely to
return more per hour of labor than
one gets for doing the ordinary farm

The key to the understanding Of the

that the Church is very part OF Him,

the Divine intention to gather I'm

and a sharer in His Kingdom, there
would have been no need Of the long
delay between the sufferings Of Jesus
and the outpouring Of the glorious

Again it must be remembered that
the elect Church is wholly different
from the nominal church, as repre-
sented in its various systems. The

NUALLY. FOR DEMOCRATS.
Washington, November 19:-Up-
wards of eighty millions of dollars
will be the money value of the pat
ronage that will be at the disposal
of President-elect Wilson when he
comes into the White House. This
represents an army of Office seekers
that Twill aggregate about 1900.
These.two facts more than any one
other thing indicates the terrific
pressure that will be brought to
bear upon the White House and the
unceasing hours Of toll and ! labor
that!are before the new Chief Exc
cutive without regard to questions
of public policy and legislation along
the lines of the party pledge and
the public utterances of the candi-
date. q :
The offices named in the accom-
panying table are not protected by
the civil. service. They are at the
bestowal of the President and the
demand for their immediate trans
fer from Republican aspirants may
be insistent.-By a stroke of the
pen many more could be removed
from the shelter of the Civil Service.
President Mckinley, who succeed
ed Cleveland, found so many Re-
! publicans clamoring for the Offices
from which for four years they had
heen elected, that he made many
exceptions and in great measure
under pressure, negatived the force
of the Civil Service law. When
Cleveland succeeded Harrison he
went to the other extreme and de-
clined to violate either the letter or
spirit of that law, and but few Dem.
ocratic officials were appointed ex-
cept administrative heads who were
responsible either as chief or subor-
dinate officials for the policy Of the
administration. How Mr.. Wilson
will act on the return to power of
his party and the long absence from
the public crib is a question that re-
mains to be answered.
