Leaving Two Medicine, we rode away in

grass. The sun was rolling a curtain Of white

Upward the trail wound the horses picking

yeasty hollows now climbing slippery bank.
One rode at an angle or As degrees forward and

and scrubbier-"N Natures stunted step-children"

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, 1t is well
to secure & strong pump attached to
9 barrel or tank that can be hauled
about In a cart or wagon. Hand
pumps 90 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 a business, ought
to have a power sprayer Of some sort,
either operated by the wheel Of the
vehicle carrying the outfit, as in the
compassionate sprayers, or by a gas
cline 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.
Nozzles, 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 a sufficient
length SO that the nozzle can be ele-
waited on the end of a 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 viii serve when the pump is
operated from a wagon bed. For
shade trees Of large size 1t 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.

their tents, early in the morning, or

tina for the horse Craganour, which
was first past the winning post in the
recent derby race, but was dis
qualified for humping. Only on four
occasions has the price paid for
Craganour, which is to be used for
breeding purposes In Argentina, been
exceeded in the amount paid for d
race horse. These were Ormonde,
which was sold for $156,25O to an
American sportsman; CylIene, which
went to an English sportsman for
$157,5O0; Diamond Jubilee, sold to an
Argentine breeder for $157,5O0, and
Flying Fox, which holds the record
for price and was sold to a French
sportsman for $196,S75.

Of live stock farming Few farmers
realize the Importance OF size In

horse that weighs less than 1900
pounds is not considered a draft
horse in any Of the horse markets of
the country, yet the mares kept on
the ordinary farms are usually light

small, scrubby lot Of horses that are
constantly being put on the market

Corn for siIaue.

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.

Two things which should be avoid
ed with swine in cold weather are.
first, do not let them sleep In or upon
heating manure, because they become
warm and then rush into the cold air,
frequently contracting colds. coughs
or severe pulmonary diseases that
are sometimes fatal; second, bed
them well in dry quarters where
there is no draft of air blowing across
