HORTICULTURE A HINT FOR NEXT YEAR. Fruit-Picking Device Which Will Prove of Good Service. A fruit picking device may be made from any stout material, such as tin for wood, capable of being bent eas ily. Over a light frame canvas or burlap may be used. The bot tom should be hinged as shown in the cut so that contents can be easily Emptied without removing the bag from the shoulders. The bag, explains Farm and Home, is carried by a strap which goes around the nook, while another should go around the waist to hold it close to the person at work. If the picker is careful not to crowd against tho ladder cr limbs there will bo no dan ger of bruising the fruit. BARRELING APPLtC. Cyctem Is tha Secret of Successful Marketing of Crops. A good barrel is essential if you wish to store your fruit, have it keep well and sell well. A tight barrel Is the b' st, and the better it. is made tho better results you will have. There will be smaller loss from shrinkage of fruit, from rats and mice and other causes. In my orchard, writes a correspond ent of Orange Judd Farmer, I have eight pickers and six sorters and bar relers in each gang. A strong sort ing table, constructed of light, strong material is provided. This table is set. in the center of 10 trees. Some times, if fruit is scarce and trees are small, in the center of 24 or 36 trees. Four or six rows are carried forward at once and the table is moved along the center rows and set in tho middle of the square at each move. One man usually nails the hoops, tho headliners, and takes out tho heads of the barrels, preparing them for filling. It is quite important to have headliners, as it prevents loss in shipping and facilitates In the ex amination and inspection of fruit in storage. This man usually heads up tho barrels when filled. A second man does the faring, and a third, who should be a good apple man and foreman of the gang, emp ties the baskets and assists in the sorting. He inspects the fruit a# sorted and directs the work. This leaves three men who do nothing but stand at the table and sort, if the pickers are not able to keep the table supplied, a man from the table is put into the trees to pick. STORING CELERY. Suggestions by Prof. W. R. Deattie of t U. S. Department of Agriculture. Almost without exception the larger northern growers have found it un profitable to store celery for late keeping, and tiioso who still adhere to the practice do so in order that they may control and supply a spe cial trade. Even under special cir cumstances there is only a moderate profit in storing for late marketing. The best form of storage house is a broad and long structure with low side walls and a roof coming almost to (lie ground at t'.'o eaves. The walls should he constructed of concrete or brick and the roof made very tight to keep out Irost. The roof portion should also be ceiled to form a double construction with air space between. Large doors should ho provided at both ends, and if so arranged that a team of horses can ho driven through, the wo: k of unloading the celery will be greatly facilitated. Tho earth floor of the storage house ! should have a covering consisting of four or five inches of loose soil, in which to pack the roots of the celery. 1 It is desirable to have the storehouse | divided lengthwise into beds six or! eight feet wide by six inch boards on edge, raised three or four inches from i the soil and fastened to stakes. These lines of raised boards assist in holding ' the celery in an upright | osition and ! Increase the circulation of air j through it. Clean the Currycomb. Clean out the currycomb, occasion ally. by washing it in water in which a little concent rated lye has been dis solved. The lye unites with the grease in tho comb to form soft soap, which ! the water readily dissolves, taking the dirt with it.and leaving the currycomb i as clean as new. Then thoroughly rinse in clean water, and dry. It i might be well to tell your wife to j try the same plan for the house combs, using baking soda in place of lye. Make Cuttings Now. Soon after the loaves fall, currant, gooseberry and grape cuttings may be made. I'se this seasons wood; cut into lengths about eight, inches long, tie into bundles, and bury in sand in the cellar, for spring plantings. Cut tings may be set in mulched ground this fall, but we prefer spring set tiu*- WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE. Practically Unobtainable During Period of Missouri' 6 Hi«tory. "However scarce money may be at times at the present," said an old Mis sourian, "the oldest Inhabitants will recall when It was almost unobtain able and other commodities had to bo used as media of exchange. The wolf's scalp was worth a dollar be cause It was a state bounty upon the death of a wolf, and venison hams and deer skins also had a purchasing value. Skins of the fur bearers wero likewise abundant and valuable. When the first sheriff of Audrain county, in J837, went to Jefferson City to deliver the county revenue, he met an old friend on the way who, needing money, wanted to borrow tho actual 1 coin part of the county's revenue. The good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and I went onto the capital and delivered ; only the scalps. By the time of the next settlement the loan was repaid | and the sheriff made his next settle ment complete. No note or other ob ligation than the mere word was given."—Columbia Herald. Restricted Choice. "The people and the corporations," said Senator La Follette the other | day, "remind me of a woman and her little boy. There was a rery large chicken nnd a very small duck on the table and the woman, pausing with j tho carving knife raised, said: 'Johnny, ; which will you take, chicken or duck?' ; 'Duck,' piped Johnny. Hut the mother shook her head. 'No, Johnny,' she said | in a firm, yet kindly voice, 'you can't have duck, my dear. Take your I choice, darling, take your choice, but you can't have duck.'" TO PRETENDERS. A Wholesome Word for Guidance. Just a word to you, "Collier's" nnd other glaring examples of Modern Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes. Environment gives you a view-point from which it is difficult to under stand that some people even nowa days act from motives of old fashion ed honesty. There are honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honest people who use them. Perhaps you are (rained to believe there is no honesty in this world. Th"rp is, although you may not be of a kind to understand It. Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training do •; not taint tho old fashion ed person trained without knowledge of pretense and deceit. These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by fol lowing the suggestions to quit tho food or drink which may be causing the physical complaints and change to I'ostum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food. You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why tho change makes a change in the cells of tho body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, makes not the slightest difference in the facts. You can jjrint from old and worn plates all the cheap hooka your presses will produce and sell them as best you can, but such acts and your "learned" editorials are but commer cial, and seek only "dollars" and much by pretence. When you branch out into food values you become only ridiculous. Stick to what you know. Tho field may be small but it is safe.

Y., Oct. 1, 1307. Dear Mr. Pritcbard: Noticing Postum Food Coffee adver tised each week in your reliable pa per, I concluded to try it, and feeling it a duty towards those who may have i suffered as I have from indigestion, desire to state what wonderful bene- j lit I have received from Postum al though using only a short time, and not do. I alone realize and appreciate its good effects, but friends remark, "How much I have improved and how ! well 1 look", and 1 tell the facts about j Postum every time, for since using j it I have not. had one attack of indi- j gestion. It is invigorating, healthful; does not affect the nerves as ordinary coffee, and if properly made, a most delicious drink. Although I have not had much faith in general advertis ing, yet, finding Postum has done so j much better for me than I expected I am more inclined to "Prove all things, hold fast that, which is good." I am so thankful for good health that I want it known what a blessing Pos tum has been to me. You may use these few lines as an ad. if you so de sire and my name also. Very truly yours, Anna S. Reeves. 275 McDonough St., Brooklyn. Coffee hurt her, she quit and used Postum. She didn't, attempt to an alyze but she enjoyed the results. Un derneath It all "There's a Reason."

The senator, on his Übt visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a pretty little girl, a western million aire's daughter, to bo presented to him. The Utile girl, in the course of ono of her mauy chat 3 with tho aged statesman, said: "Tell mo, won't you, senator, what political economy in? ' "Political economy, my dear child," Senator Piatt is said to havo replied, "is the art of never buying mora votes than you actually need." DON'T EANISH THE CONSUMPTIVE, SAYS DR. HOFF. Famous Consumptive Expert Urges Cure at tho Fireside. "Is tho "Great White Plaguo" at last to be ended? The scientific world has been watch ing with great interest the remark ablo success of Dr. Adolph 1 iofT, of tho Faculty of tho University of Vi enna, in tho treatment of consumption and asthma. The patients treated were mostly of the poorer class who inhabit small and badly ventilated damp rooms, too cold in winter, and too hot in summer. Dr. lloff says: "Had such patients the benefit of improved conditions it would not bo surprising, but my par tlents all stay in their own surround ings, and when a cure Is affected it is to be attributed to my recipe only." To further the work of Dr. Hoff, the American Bureau has been establish ed at No. 49 Third avenue, New York, and on application a book on exercise, diet and rational treatment will be sent free to all sufferers from asthma and consumption. The Peaceful Cow. She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, sho at first refused togo through the pas ture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when tho cow slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they al ways do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror, and said: "Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting ready to spring at us!"— Harper's Magazine. $1!H) Reward, SIOO.

"It is a curious thing," said a prom inent lecturer recently, "how some books have a strong radiating person ality, so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Ijtist Christmas I visited frlend9 back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned 'sing.' On the center table were strewn the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly ex claimed 'Ilello! my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked up with surprise, I picked up a copy of 'Heart Throbs' and read to them from its pages the 'piece' I spoke In school 40 years ago. "That was enough to set In motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was for gotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verso that have been preserved In this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible I love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times." Martins' Revenga. A correspondent tells the story ol two house martins' nects built against an attic window of a farm, to which the birds came for several successive years. Last spring, however, before they arrived, a sparrow took up her abode in one of the nests. Shortly after the martins returned as usual, and one day the farm people noticed that the hole of tho nest which the sparrow occupied had been blocked up. Next morning a boy climbed up to ascertain the meaning of this, and not finding any outlet broke away part of the nest, to find the poor little sparrow dead on her eggs.
