State Advances in Horticulture. Clemson College.?Though begun jnly four years ago, the spraying of archards lor insect and fungus depre Jations is now thoroughly well estab lished in South Carolina, to such an sxtent in fact, that horticulture is for the first time getting upon a commer cial basis in this state. These facts were made known by Prof. A. F. Con radi, entomologist of Clemson Col lege, who has had charge of this work In the state and has watched it grow from practically nothing to its pres snt proportions. Prof. Conradi'e division now has 13 spray pumps in the field for doing pioneer work wherever work is neces ?ary. These pumps are scattered from the mountains to the coast. Be sides them, there are pumps privately jwned in every county in the state, a condition unknown even three years igo. For when the field work was begun by Clemson College in 1909 it was hard to find pumps anywhere. In many places in South Carolina or chard owners are getting past the carrel puirlp stage and are putting up 200-gallon pumps. One man In Pick jns county is constructing a pump to !>e run by motor. "All this has been accomplished in tour years," said Prof. Conradi. "Of course .the prevalence of spary pumps is the very best indiciation of im proved orchard methods. I don't ex sect our pumps to be in use at all lext year, as there are so many uses ;e which the barrel spray pump can ae put that every one ought to have >ne and nearly every farmer is buy ng one." When asked what some of these uses were to which the barrel spray Dump could be put, Prof. Conradi eplied tha't besides its great value 'or orchard spraying, it can be used n garden spraying, whitewashing, *old water painting and in stables ind chicken houses, besides other lses.

If you can find an old blanket, quilt, rug, piece of carpet, or even a sheet, it will furnish ydu with just the right kind of material for making a satisfac tory tent for camping out in the back yard, or in a nearby vacant lot Below are shown three simple tents which may be made of such covering material as these, and they can be put up quickly, as there is but little work to making them. The shelter tent shown in Fig 1 re quires a ridge-pole fastened across up rights braced aa shown in Fig. 2, and this framework can be made out of any sort of sticks that you can find at, hand. A clothes-pole, though a trifle long, might be used, for the ridge-pole. Drive the bottoms of the uprights into the ground, and, after fastening the ridge-pole across their tops, run a rope brace from a nail in driven into the ground several feet away from the base of the upright. Drive stakes at the four corners of the tent, and tie the corners of the covering to them. AIbo drive a stake at the center of each side for addi tional fastening. With the same kind otf^framework, you can make the open-front tent shown in Fig. 3. The only way In which its construction differs from that of the shelter tent is that the side of the shelter tent becomes the front of this tent, and is raised and held by stick props, thus forming a canopy over the entrance. And what are the front and rear ends of the shelter tent become the sides of this tent, and are^ enclosed halfway with triangular shaped pieces of cloth. As but one edge of the tent covering is pegged to the ground, you must tack it along the ridge-pole. By pulling away the stick props, and dropping the canopy, your tent will be enclosed upon all sides. The tent shown in Fig. 4 is triangu lar in plan, and has triangular sides and a triangular front The ridge of the tent is made of a piece of a clothesline, one end of which \s fas tened to a clottres-post, ana tne otner end to a stake driven into the ground. The covering material should be square. A seven-foot sheet will do. First tie the lower end of the ridge rope to a stake driven into the ground seven or eight feet away from a clothes-post, then fold the covering material cornerwise, as indicated by the dotted line In Fig. 5, and place it over tfie rope with the fold along the rope, and fasten with clothes-pins. Pass the upper end of the rope around ! the clothes-post, and pull until the tent i is raised to the proper height; then ! tie it. Fasten the front corncrs to siiiUps .irivpn into the ground. If a \ -L_J | front flap is wanted, it can bo pinnod I to the edges of the sides, with just | enough of one corner left open to I crawl through.

As nice a little doll house as you Ka Knilf if nf H/irtiHi All that is necessary to make it is a few sticks, some cloth, some card board, pins and thread, and any girl will And the making easy. This doll house may contain just as many rooms as you wish, though it is best* to start by making only two rooms, as shown in Fig. 1, and then to add others afterward. The sticks are used to support the walls, and' are driven into the ground at the corners. It is not necessary for these to be of equal size, tho.ugh they should be at least 18 inches long. Sticks longer than this can be broken -? J-l J 41.? A uu, or uitveu lunuei iuiu uic ^iuuuu. They should be at least 1 inch thick so they will not bend. With a pointed stick mapk out upon the ground, in a ehady spot, the shape of the rooms. Eighteen or 20 inches square is a good size. Then pound one of the sticks into the ground at each comer, to a depth of 6 inches. using another stick or a hammer to pound with; also drive two sticks into the ground at each, end of the inside wall. (See Fig. 2.) For the walls you will require pieces of cloth 12 or 14 inches wide. White cloth will do, but ir you can, ana col ored cloth of some pretty pattern it will give the rooms a much daintier appearance. Different material may be ueed for each room. Plain colored cloth will give a tinted-calsomine ef fect, potato sacking will look nearly like burlap, and cretonne will have the appearance of tapestry. Fasten the cloth at one corner, doubling it around the corner stick, and pinning it to itself in several places as shown in Fig. 3; then pass it around the other corner sticks as far as the cen ter wall, or, if you are going to use DOORWAY * the same cloth: for both rooms, run It around the three wall?. Fig. 4 shows how the center wall covering is lapped around the center posts and pinned. With all walls pinned in place, the next thing to do is to cut the door way and windows. With a pair of sharp scissors this is eaey to do. Make the doorway about 3 inches wide and 8 inches high. Leave a nar row strip across the bottom, as shown, to hold the cloth together. Cut the window openings about 4 inches wide and 5 inches high, with the bottoms about 3 inches above the ground. Oiled paper may be etitched over these openings for "glass," but it will look better to oteit it, and instead to represent window-sash with black thread, running the thread across the openings from side to side, and from top to bottom, to represent the wood en bars. White cloth, or a piece of some plain I color that will harmonize with the wall covering, should be used for the i ceilings of the rooms. Pin it to the | upper <>dges of the walls. Make the floors of cardboard cut : from a pasteboard box. Window curtains may be made from scraps of silk, or tissue paper. The lace edge of shelf paper makes splen did lace curtains, and white, green or yellow paper does nicely for window shades. The doll house may be entirely fur nished with simple furniture made from berry boxes or cardboard boxes, or with any doll furniture that you may have.
