For use in large orchards force-pumps operated by compressed air and drawn by two horses are used. The spraying should be done as soon as the blossoms drop, and many orchards are sprayed three times in a season, but the work should never be done while the trees are in blossom. Vegetables should be sprayed many times through the season.
Monroe and her one small servant were in the last hot and hurried stages of dinner-getting. Martie kissed her mother's flushed and sunken cheek; a process to which Mrs. Monroe submitted with reproachful eyes and compressed lips. "I don't like this, Martie!" said her mother, shaking her head. "What were you and Sally doing to be so late?" "Oh, nothing," Martie said ashamedly. "I'm awf'ly sorry.

My Saviour endured a harder scourge; I will learn patience from His cross."
He could not move to get it, for San Giacinto held him fast, and watched every attempt he made at a movement. His own face was deathly pale, and his white lips were compressed together.
