Homemade Potato Sprayer.
The sprayer Illustrated herewith Is
Inexpensive and easily made. First, a
heavy Iron rod about li Inches thick
and feet long must be procured
for an axle. This may be taken from
an old grain drill, or elsewhere, and
adapted to the preseut use. For
wheels, take those of the hay-rake.
as a high wheel makes tho flow strong
er. The shafts should be about eight
feet long. They are bolted to the axle,
five feet apart, and fastened securely,
that the rod may not turn. Two pieces
of wood, three by three Inches and
three and one-half feet long, are bolted
across the shafts 12 or 15 Inches apart,
one of them being placed a trifle back
of the axle, and the other farther In
front of It , The singletree Is attached
to a third crossplece farther forward.
Two more pieces, two by six Inches
and two feet long, are bolted edge
wise across the 3x3-Inch pieces, two
feet apart. These pieces are hollowed
out at the ton so that a barrel will
rest on them securely. Two stopcocks
are Inserted Into the barrel opposite the
bung, and two pieces of hose bIx feet
long, terminating In a fine spray nozzle,
attached to them. Tho bunghole Is
turned upward and a funnel used in
filling It. The horse walks between
the rows of potatoes, the man follow
ing and holding a nozzle In each band
above the row, on either side. When
turning at the end of a row, the hose
may be laid across the barrel to stop
the flow. The pressure of the liquid

clent to produce a steady flow, and the
Jolting of the machine will keep the
dispose of a large quantity every day
If It were placed on market Besides
this, fowling skltii milk to fowls, to
pigs and to tho cows are good ways
to dispose of It. Which will be most
profitable must depend ou circumstances.
Removing Foul (Seeds from Grain.
As long as It remains true that as a
man sows, so shall he reap, lt behooves
hi in to get all foul weed seed out of his
sped grain. Some practice "swlm-i
nilng" it out, but the heaviest seeds
will not flout only the seed pods of
weeds and the lighter stuff. Better
sift the wild seed out. and the lllus
tratlon shows how to do It easily and
quickly. Removable wire mesh bot
toms may be used and thus a choice
made In the size of mesh to use with
any particular grain or beans, peas,
etc. It will pay to uso a mesh coarse
enough to permit nil small and In
ferior kernels of grain to fall through
SIEVK FOR SEED GRAINS.
with the weed seed. Then only the
best and most vigorous kernels will
be sowed. Such selection of the bes't
seed year after year will bring up the
quality of the grain wonderfully.

The Nooning; Time.
In the longest days of the year, and
when on the farm the hardest work
of the year has to be done, there should
be generally a longer rest at noon than
Is usually taken. The early morning
and toward evening are the most com
fortable times to work out of doors.
But with a day nearly, or quite, fif
teen hours long, there must be a con
siderable' resting place In the middle
of the day If health Is to be preserved.
The noon dinner may take half an hour
or more, but after that should be a rest
of a full hour or two, and If part of
that time be spent In sleep both body
and brain will be refreshed. Few know
how great Is the dependence of the
nerves on sleep for their continuance
In vigorous health. A noonday rest
of not less than two hours will enable
more work to be done than can be se
cured without lt. If storms threaten
when crops have to be secured the
noon rest may be omitted, for In such
case when rain comes there will be
longer opportunities for resting and
even for sleeping than will be desirable.
Watering Horses at Work.
It used to be the- rule to keep horses
front drinking at high noon or night
after they had been working through
the forenoon or afternoon, until they
had eaten their feed and had cooled
down. This was considered necessary
In order to prevent Injury from taking
cold water while the system U heated.
But this Is cruel to the horses, as theyi
cannot eat what they should If tbey are"
parched with thirst. The better way 18:
to 'give each horse in the middle of thei
forenoon a pall of water Into which ni
small quantity of ontmeal has been'
stirred. This will refresh and Invigo
rate the horse without doing any Injury,
and will prevent him from being Injur
ed by drinking freely at noontime. The
drink being nourishing, rallies the
strength and enables the animal to do
a greater amount of work without failure.

Felling Yonnsr Plea.
There Is always profit In breeding
pigs, providing the breeder Is not too
greedy, and Is willing to sell bis stock
at reasonable rates. Live and let live
should always be the rule. In nothing
Is this more true than In the breeding
and sale of stock. It Is very easy
to get a surplus of stock greater than
can be either kept or fattened with
profit. As the pigs grow older lt costs
more to produce a pound additional
growth, and what is worse, this extra
weight Is not worth so much per pound
as Is that of the smaller pig. The sow
pigs may be worth more as they grow
older If set to breeding, but the farmer
who breeds pigs largely to sell while
young does not wait for the sows to
get to breeding age before disposing
of them. He leaves some of the profit
to the purchaser of his stock, as every
stock seller ought to do. If no one did
this the race of buyers would quickly
run out and then the grower of young
pigs would be worse off than ever.
Killing; Rose PI una tilth Hot Water.
It Is very slow and difficult work,
thinning off the rose and pear slugs!
when they are found on pear and grape
leaves. Not many people know that
they can be easily killed by drench
lug the leaves with water heated to
130 to 140 degrees. This Is death to
nearly all kinds of bugs, and the wa
ter can be applied 10 to 20 degrees
hotter than this without Injuring the
leaves either of the pear or grape vine.
If the water Is applied by spraying, lt
should be some hotter than Is re
quired, so that lt may reach the slugs
at the temperature that Is surely fatal
to them. Very cold water or that which
has had Ice dissolved In It will kill the
rose slugs If dashed violently against
them, but lt knocks off many more, and
they are soon found at their work
again.
Beetn ae Green Food for Plg-a.
Xo other kind of root is so greedily
eaten by pigs as the beet. It may not
have so much nutrition as the po-ato.
but what lt has Is sweet, and there
fore Is palatable. Even the fatteulng
nogs will eat some beets every day,
and should have them. But their best
use is as green feed for sow iat are
giving milk. It will Increase the quan
tity greatly, but lt will need some grain
feed with lt to keep the sow thus fed
from losing flesh too rapidly. It Is ex
pected, of course, that the sow will
grow poor while suckling her younu',
but If this goes too far her value as a
breeder Is lessened, and the next litter
of pigs will be deficient in num
ber, or In vigor and size.
Correspondence Given In the Oovarn
meut Volume.
Washington, July 18. It requires
71 printed pages in the volume of for
eign relations to set oat the corre
spondence whioh has passed between
the United States and Spain during
the year 1805, yet in no oase was there
printed any matter in the nature of re
port from United States officials
tonobingtbe rebellion and its causes,
progress or prospects. The chapter on
Spain begins with the oelebrated Moro
oase, whioh, having been settled satis
factorily by the payment of an in
demnity by Spain of f 1,600, 000, is
now a closed incident.
Nex in order oomes the Allianoa in
cident, beginning with Secretary
Gresbam'i vigorous demand upon the
Spanish government for a prompt dis
avowal of the aot of the Conde Vena
dito in flrlnff udou the Amerioun
steamship; for an expression of regret,
and the issuance of orders to Spanish
naval commanders to refrain from in
terference with legitimate Amerioan
oommeroe, whether within three miles
of the Cuban ooast or not.
The conolnsion of this inoident is
for the first time told officially in this
publication. The Spanish government
showed its entire readiness to do every
thing that international law required
to smooth away the bad impression
made by the inoident, and, after pro
curing a report on the subject from
the Cuban officials, the Dnke of Tetuan,
Spanish minister of foreign affairs,
delivered to United States Minister
Taylor a statement in whioh be says
that the Allianoa was fired upon with
a apeoial pnrpose not to hit her, she be
ing ontside of the jurisdictional zone
of Spain. This was an involuntary
error, whioh no one oould lament more
than the government of his majesty,
whose pnrpose never was to set ob
stacles or hindrances in the way of the
legitimate oommeroe of the United
States, and much less to give the
slightest offense to the flag of a friendly
power. Be adds that instructions
have been sent to commanders of the
ships of the navy to "avoid a repeti
tion of events similar to that now in
question, whioh is disavowed by the
government of his majesty. ' '
Mr. Uhl, then acting seoretary of
state, closed the inoident by accepting
the dnke's statement as a sufficiently
satisfactory explanation, without
oonoeding that the exaot location of the
Allianoa, at the time the shot was
fired, oan be considered as a controlling
oironmstanoe.
Correspondence passing between the
state department and the resident Span
ish minister, relative to the enforce
ment of the United States neutrality
laws, takes np oosiderable spaoe. It
begins with the oases of the yaohts
Amadia la Qonda and Naraooa, but
these have already been made publio
through legal proceedings.
Half a dozen letters tell the story of
the fruitless attempt of Marshal Cam
pos, then oaptain-general, to prevent
United States Consul-General Wil
liams from exeroising diplomatic
functions in intervening to protect
Americana arrested by the Spanish
officials in Cnba.
' Seoretary Olney acted with vigor in
this aotion, addiessing himself to Min
ister de Lome here and to the Spanish
government at Madrid at the same
time, through Minister Taylor, and in
less than a month Consul-General Wil
liams was reoognized as bavng full
powers to look after suob matters, be
ing thus placed on an equality with the
German oonsul in Cuba.
A short letter from United States
Minister Taylor to Seoretary Gresham,
in February, 1895, tells the story of a
diplomatic viotroy that, trom its busi
ness value, deserves a prominent place
in the volume. This was the final oon
oession by the Spanish government to
the United States otizens of the right
to pay minmum import duties on goods
sent to Cuba.
A premonition of claims to be pre
ferred against Spain appears in several
letters of F. Atkins & Co., of Boston,
to Secretary Olney, giving notioe of
the destruction of their valuable Sole-
dad sugar estate by the insurgents.
Inoidentaly, they note that the insur
gents are mainly negroes,hnd that the
orders to burn their property were sent
from Cuban headquarters in Mew York
with a purpose of causing trouble be
tween the United States and Spain.
The salmon catch has been rather
light for the past few days, but the
July run ought to be along soon, and,
with what wheels are catohing at the
Cascades, will help to swell the pack to
fair proportions. Old potatoes are very
scarce, and, as the new ones are also
soarce, the price has gone np with a
jump. Butter has advanced. Eggs
are firm and soarce. Chickens, duoks
and geese are dull, with reoeipts muoh
in excess of the demand.
