Farmers make a smaller percentage
on their investments probably than
any other class. The merchant.
banker and manufacturer would
out of business if his visible income
from his investment was no more than
the farmer s, yet notwithstanding that
this is indisputably true, it is a fact,
nevertheless, that there is a smaller
percentage of failures among farmers
than any other class. More than this,
there is a larger percentage of farmers
get well to do in this world’s goods
and provide themselves and families
good living than any other class. Thi *
being the case, we Certainly conclude
that it pays to work for a small in¬
come. Especially farmer is this true when iu
the ease of the the income is
steady one year with another.—-Rocky

HOW TO FERTILIZE TOMATOES.
I It" market gardener- of Maryland
have brought the growing of tomatoes
to a nearly perfect science, and their
methods <>f planting r.ud fertilizing
are therefore worthy of attention by
ti.mnto growers everywhere. They
rccommen'l applying 400 to obit pounds
of nitrogenous fertilizer broadcast,
doing this early in the season so that
frequent stirring of the soil will thor¬
oughly mix the fertilizer with it.
W hen tlie plants are set out they ap
ply n small handful of the fertilizer
to each hill. Whether the crop is a
success or failure depends largely on
whether vigorous and stocky plants or
those that have grown tall and spind
ling are planted. It is impossible for
the best system of manuring to make
spindling plants produce a good crop
either in quantity or quality.—Boston
Cultivator.
enemies of trees.
Trees are one of the most useful and
beautiful gilts of nature, and any¬
thing that will teach us how to care
for and preserve them from their ene¬
mies is welcome. Bulletin No. 47, of
the Kentucky Station, is devoted to
an interesting consideration of the
subject. The pests of shade and orna¬
mental trees are described, as well ns
the measures to be adopted for their
protection.
An account is given of the “sun¬
stroke of trees,” and interesting aud
ingenious explanation of the sudden
blightning of trees often w itnessed in
hot weather. This phenomenon has
frequently been remarked before, but
has hitherto been ascribed to other
causes. The Bulletin also reports an
experiment iu spraying for the brown
rot of plum. The result showed that
the spraying increased the yield by
about forty-eight per cent.
Bulletin No. 48, of the same station,
serves as a complement to No. 46. It
gives the analysis of fourteen commer¬
cial fertilizers made by the station, in
compliance with the law for the benefit
and protection of purchasers.—New
York World.
HOW TO BUILD UP l’HK FARM.
Ts the farm running down by rea
sou of the soil being impoverished?
Is the future gloomy aud discourag¬
ing to the grown-up boys? Is the
fertilizing bill getting larger each
year, and the crops less and less? Ah !
there’s the rub; but it is true. The
remedy is right at hand; try el,vA sl.ee,,;
feed bran aud oilmeal;
study the business; encourage the
boys; enlist, the help and interest of
the girls in the Hock; dispense with
fertilizers that the sheep will not live
on; quit hired help; watch the com
ers a few rears, and prosperity will
come to the farm and family as sure
as two aud two are four. Sheep have
done all this for thousands of farms,
will do it more and more as they are
better appreciated, and must do it for
every farm in the United States. The
farmer that ignores sheep as the fac
tor of good fanning will grow poorer
until lie dies or sells out to a new and
more intelligent man, who will use
Hocks to restore fertility. Tattle are
good for a good farm, but sheep beat
all domestic animals iu bringing up a
poor, neglected, abused, poverty
stricken farm. It' you dou’t believe
it, just try it a little on a few acres.
The cheapest fertilizers are bran, oil
meal and clover; feed them to the
sheep before applying them to the
land. If the sheep run over the fields
they leave much of the fertility iu the
right place.- American Farmer.

HOW TO PLANT AS OHi H ARD.
Mr. F. P. Graham, who has recent¬
ly given some valuable information
to the public on fruit growing, was
asked by a reporter to give some
points on “Hnw to Plant an Or¬
chard. ” He said :
“Granting that the soil is iu proper
condition, f will explain my system of
procedure.
“If it is to be an apple orchard, I
lay out my rows north and south, and
on this line dig holes fifteen inches
deep, three feet in diamater and fif
teen feet apart, with the distance be¬
tween the rows front thirty to thirty
two feet.”
“Why do you dig the holes so
large?”
“Because by so doing the soil is
thoroughly pulverized and mellowed
and in a great measure made impervi
ous to drouth, and greatly helps the
young tree the first year to make a
good growth.”
“Why plant the trees only fifteen
feet apart north and south?”
“Practice has demonstrated this to
be the best method, as the trees shel
ter each other in heavy winds, as well
as shading each other’s trunks from
siiii scalds. ”
“Where has this system been put to
the test ?”
“Mr. Wellhouse, of Kansas, has 600
acres planted this wav. He now would
plant no other way. In California
this system is adopted almost ex
clusively.”
“Don’t the Californians cut back
their trees very closely, and for this
reason can afford to plant closer than
' we can?”
“It is quite true that , they . plant
closer and prune closer in California
than we do, but we must do the same
ill future. There is no sense in a big,
j unshapely will tree if much a small, fruit well and pruned of
one carrv as a
better quality; where one man can
gather four bushels of fruit standing
on the ground to five standing on a
ladder, to say nothing of the orchard’s
ability to bear more continuously if
close, intelligent pruning is made the
rule.
“If it were a peach orchard I was
planting, the holes should be the same
size aud the rows iu the same direc
tion, twelve feet between the trees and
twenty feet between the rows, If
pears, the preparation the same; for
spreading varieties, fifteen feet dis
taut in the rows and twenty-five feet
between; for pyramidal varieties,
twelve feet in the rows, aud eighteen
feet between,”
“Is this style oi planting practiced
extensively in the Ozark country?”
“Not very extensively at present.
Still the growers will gradually come
to the correct principles, and I have
no doubt but in the near future they
will be found quoted for their science
in fruit culture. They are taking to it
as naturally as webfooted fowls do to
water. Some of them already give
their occupation as horticulturists,
while they are still engaged in pulling
stumps.’’—Kansas City Journal,

A Dramatic Scene Beliveen Lovers.
A curious scene w r as witnessed out¬
side Paddlington station. A respect¬
ably-dressed young woman who had
arrived at the terminus from the coun¬
try w-as quietly proceeding iu the di¬
rection of Edgwnre Road when a
young man, also respectably dressed,
met her, turned deadly pale, aud ex¬
claimed: “Oh, Helen, we thought you
were dead!” and would probably have
fallen to the ground in a fainting con¬
dition had not the young woman and
sympathetic wayfarers who witnessed
the unusual occurrence assisted him
into a temperance refreshment house,
where restoratives were obtained.
Their ease proved to be a strange
one. The girl had for some time been
a shop assistant at a village on the
outskirts of South London, aud had
there become engaged to the young
man. She left her place and returned
to her parents in the country for »
holiday. Somehow or other a re pur I
was spread in the village that the girl
had suddenly died from influenza,
and the news appeared so circum¬
stantial and detailed that it obtained
general credence. The lover was dis¬
consolate, mentioned his grief to the
pastor of the Methodist chapel w here
he and his sweetheart had worshiped,
and the minister next Sunday preached
a funeral sermon, drawing suitable
lessons from the unexpected decease
of their young friend. All was over.
The young man was, it appeared,
actually on his way to Paddington sta¬
tion, en route to the home of the girl
with the view of visiting the grave,
when he met her in the flesh, alive,
and looking very well. She declared
that she had written to him once, and
was astonished not to have got an an¬
swer. He, on his side, averred that
the missive never reached him. It is
very probable that the Methodist min¬
ister who pronounced her funeral ora¬
tion will soon be asked to officiate at
a still more interesting ceremony, in
which she will be one of two principal
participants. —London Telegraph.

piece is straight in lines, aud so low
that if pillows were used in the dress¬
ing they would reach the top. The
footpiece is lower, but with the rolled
bolster and silk or embroidered spread
it looks cosy as well as sumptuous,
and furnishes the room as no metal

Grow log Nut Trees.
Almost any kind of nut trees can
readily be grown from seed if proper
care is taken iu planting and giving
good cultivation until the tree* are
reasonably well established.
All things considered, the better
plan is to plant in shallow drills, three
feet apart and then transplant when
one year old. The objection to allow¬
ing them to grow too long is that the
majority of nut trees have long top
roots that make them more difficult
to transplant. Plant reasonably thick
in the drill rows, putting them two or
three inches apart. It is of course
necessary to have the soil prepared in
a good tilth before planting. A live,
loamy soil is preferable, as a clayey
soil may form so hard a crust after a
hard, beating rain that the plants can¬
not force their way through, and in
consequence more or less of them dio.
The advantage in spring planting is
that the danger of mice and other ver¬
min destroying the roots is greatly re¬
duced. Give good cultivation iu or¬
der to secure a good vigorous growth
the first season, and then transplant
to where they are to grow the next
spring.
How to Pack Eggs.
It may be put down as a fact which
can not be questioned that no packed
egg can be as good as a fresh one, but
as a great many people insist upon
packing some every year, iu order to
provide against a scarcity, it may be
just as well to know howto doit in
the best way. In an experiment in
keeping eggs they were taken in the
spring when fresh and wiped with a
cloth saturated w ith cotton seed oil,
to which had been added boracic acid.
Those then packed in salt kept from
four to five months, with a loss of
about one-third, but this was much
better than those packed in bran,
which were all spoiled in four months.
Eggs packed in salt, after wiping with
vaseline, to which sftlicvlic acid has
been added, kept four and five months
without loss, and with fair quality.—
Western Plowman.
Value of Good Cooking.
We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end
of the household. If that goes wrong,
the whole establishment is wrong. It.
decides the health of the household
and health decides almost everything.
Heavy bread, too great frequency of
plum pudding, mingling of lemonade
and custards, unmasticable beef, have
decided the fate of sermons, legislative
bills, and the destiny of empires. The
kitchen knife has often cut off the
brightest prospects. The kitchen grid¬
iron has often consumed a commercial
enterprise. The kitchen kettle has
kept many a good man in hot water.
It will never be fully known how much
the history of the world was affected
by good or bad cookery .—Nashville
Advocate.
Profit in Potatoes.
Fanners in Lincolnshire, England,
have recently turned largely from
wheat growing to potato growing, and
have profited by the change. Bales of
potatoes are reported at from $100 to
$125 an acre in the ground. Sold in
this way, the cost of the crops is not
much greater than wheat, as the cost
of harvesting is eliminated, and a
blind man can see which gives the bet¬
ter profit. We think there are many
American farmers who could make the
same change in their methods w T ith
profit. One thing is certain—a good
crop of potatoes always pays a profit.
A good crop of wheat does not always
do it.— Western Plowman.
A New Cake Recipe.
A delightful sponge cake is made by
beating the yolks of six eggs and two
cups of sugar together and adding the
beaten white. Add to this mixture
one cup of flour and ten tablespoonfuls
of boiling water. Then a second cup¬
ful o*f flour and two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. Essence to taste ; bake
in a moderately hot oven.
An exchange remarks: One of the
greatest mistakes of farmers is iu
sending their home paper a message
something like this: “Please stop my
paper. The times are so hard 1 can¬
not afford to continue it.” The mes¬
sage ought to be to this effect:
“Please continue my paper. The
times are so hard I need all the help I
can get to enable me to get along.”

The aubjoct of tbe above portrait Is a
prominent Robert and much respected citizen. Mr.
Mr. Manson Manson, of West Rye, N. H. Where
is known ‘‘his word is as good
as his bond.” In a recent letter to Dr. R. V.
Pierce Chief Consulting Physician to the
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buf
faio, N. Y., Mr. Manson says :
“Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the
best pills I ever took for the liver. All my
friends say they do them the most good.”
Ibis opinion is sh areal by everyone who
once tries these tiny, little, sugar-coated pills,
which are to be found in all medicine stores,
ralo, N. \ Immigration at Buf
writes of them as follows:
from early childhood I have suffered
from a sluggish liver, with ah the disorders
accompanying such a condition. Doctors’
preacnptions and patent medicines I have
used m abundance ; they only afforded tern
porary relief I was recommended to try
Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets. I did so, tak
mg two at night and one after dinner every
day for two weeks. I have reduced the dose
to one Pellet ever y day for t wo mont hs.

Assist nature a little now and then with a
gentle laxative, or. if need be, with a more
searching removing offending and cleansing cathartic, from the thereby
matter stom¬
ach and bowels, and toning up and invjgo
rating the liver and quickening its tardy
action. and you thereby remove the cause
of a multitude of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and •
maladies too numerous to mention.
7f people would pay more attention to
properly regulating tno"action of their bow- j j
el?, they would have doctors’ less frequent occasion subdue
to call for their services to j
attacks of dangerous diseases.

Tansy Kills Moths.
“l hero is one sure preventive of
moths. It is tansy,” says a correspond¬
ent. i “Sprinkle the leaves freely tlie about
your woolens and furs and moth
will never get into them. When I was
a child my grandmother used to send
me to the tansy patch on the hill, with
n largo basket in which to bring home
plenty of tansy leaves. In the garret
were five hair-covered trunks, studded
with brass nails, filled with her best
blankets, flannel sheets, etc. I re¬
member how grandmother took the
extra supply out of those trunks in
the garret once a year, hung the ar¬
ticles on a clothesline down in the or¬
chard, beat them and put away again
to lie amid the tansy leaves until an¬
other year. The fourth generation of
her posterity are sleeping under the
same blankets and coverlets now,
which proves the efficacy of that rem-
6dy of the olden time.”— Philadelphia
