For extensive spraying, It is well
to secure a strong pump attached tc
a barrel or tank that can be hauled

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 OF
potato growing, az a business, ought
to have power sprayer OF some sort,

BREEDING Draft Horses.

The breeding Of heavy draft horses
is one OF the most profitable branches
OF live stock farming. Few farmers
realize the Importance Of size In a
draft horse, when put on the market,
either in public or private sale. A
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
or than that. This accounts for the
small. scrubby lot Of horses that are
constantly being put on the market
