264 Practical Orcharding On Rough Lands. 



parts and apply the spray from thte nozzle, we 

 might choose another kind. If we wish to 

 throw the spray in drops to considerable height 

 something on the style of the Bordeaux should 

 be chosen, which is particularly adapted to the 

 spraying of extremely high trees. 



All of these things should be thought over 

 very carefully. Then the pump or appliances 

 which come the nearest (according to our opin- 

 ion) filling all these, — and it may be there are 

 many other things that should be considered, — 

 this is the outfit that should be purchased, tak- 

 ing into account the effectiveness and ease of 

 the work as compared with the cost and dura- 

 bility of the pump. 



THE STORY OF AN APPLE.* 



"A farmer picked this apple in his orchard in the west 

 And put it in a barrel with some others of his best, 

 Because they were so splendid, he declared the price must 



climb, 

 And so he raised his figure on that barrel by a dime. 



The man who bought that barrel stuck a label on the top, 

 Then told the interviewers of a shortage in the crop; 

 And when he came to sell it to a buyer on the floor, 

 He added on his profit and a half a dollar more. 



The man who shipped that barrel stuck his label on it, too, 

 And talked of early f reeze^ and the damage that they do ; 

 The man to whom he shipped it said the grower's price was 

 high 



And raised the price two dollars more than in the days 

 gone by.
