The sum of $150,000 was paid re-

tina for the horse Craganour, which
was first past the winning post in the
recent derby race, but was dis

Craganour, which is to be used for
breeding purposes in Argentina, been
exceeded in the amount paid for a
race horse. These were Ormonde,

American sportsman; Cyllene, which
went to an English sportsman for

At Stems, Homer Powell was shot

seeking Burrell West, who is accused.

eight or more feet in height with such
an outfit. Grape vines can be sprayed
very we'll with a bucket pump, pro-
vided there are not many of them. II
there are many vines to spray a KNAPP
sack sprayer may be best. This is a
very convenient outfit for spraying
tobacco, potatoes and other low
growing plants, which from the man
ner of their cultivation, it is not prac-
ticable to go among with team and
wagon.
For extensive spraying, it is we'll
to secure a strong pump attached to
a barrel or tank that can be hauled
about in a cart or wagon. Hand
pumps so attached are used for small
orchards and other plants grown in
a moderate way, but power pumps are
necessary for extensive spraying and
for that required by tall trees.
A man engaged in fruit growing or
potato growing, as business, ought
to have power sprayer Of some sort,
either operated by the wheel of the
vehicle carrying the outfit, as in the
compressed-air sprayers, or by a gas
oline motor
A general purpose spray pump
should be made Of brass so that it
will not be corroded by the copper
sulphate used in bordeaux mixture.
MOBILES, too, should be made of brass,
and ought to be constructed so that
they can be quickly cleaned of solid
particles that may lodge in the outlet.
The pump will last longer and give
better service if washed out with clear
water whenever done using them.
Hose should be of the best For
trees it is well to have sufficient
length so that the nozzle can be ele-
waited on the end of pole among the
branches. The precise length will de-
pend upon the size of the trees. For
orchard work length of 10 to Is
feet will serve when the pump is
operated from a wagon bed. For
shade trees of large size it may be
necessary to have SO feet or more.
The hose ought always to be detached,
drained and hung up in a cool place
after using. A cellar is as good
place as any that is commonly avail
able.

(By H. GARMAN)
The kind of a spraying outfit TO
get depends entirely on the kind OF
spraying to be done and the extent of
the work proposed. If one has a few
rose bushes or tomato plants about
dwelling, or even a few small fruit
trees, he can get along with small
hand pump known as bucket pump.
With little extra hose and pole, or
a bamboo rod, with which to elevate
the nozzle, it is possible to spray trees

Corn for Siiaqe.

Corn for silage should be plowed
only one way. The corn should be
drilled in the row and thinned to one
stalk to the foot. A small-sized stalk,
and ear is much more preferable for
silage than the large stalk and ear
that usually results where the corn
is cultivated for feed.

About Stamps.

Do not lick stamps. The best way
is to moisten the envelope and not the
stamp When stamps stick together,
do not soak them apart, but lay them
on a smooth surface with thin paper
over them. This separates without
destroying the gum.
