i On C'lnrk Mrrct, nrnr the end of Davis
trrot, tlio Italian Produce Exchange it
located. It is n general rendezvous for
the hundreds of vcRctablo farmers, who
go there every morning with wagon
loads of potatoes, cabhagos and other
vepetahlcs. Much of the stock thus de
posited at the exchange is shipped to
various places along the coast.
Htit it is appropriate at this juncture
to state that to nil intents and purposes
the "exchange," so far is a storage
building is understood, is a misnomer.
The tons of produce arriving every
morning are deposited for the most part
on Clark street itself. Every cabbage
is carefully examined. If it contains
the slightest blemish or shows any signs
of decay it is thrown aside, and thus be
comes public, property. Hy the time the
wagons have cleared away tho street is
littered with cabbages. Then a Bcene
akin to that indicated here ensues with
daily regularity. Men, women and
children engage in a sharp competition
to secure the delicious vegetable which
harmonir.es so nicely with corned beef.

Nor is tho penchant for free cabbages
confined alone to the poor of the neigh

not think it a stain on their social escut
cheon to drivo into the alley in their car
riages and leave with a store of cabbages.
They arrive arrayed ia broadcloth and

"German
Syrup"
Here is au incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. " I am a fanner, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss., where I got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home aud was soon after seized
xwith a dry, hacking cough. This
p?t4 worse every day, until I had
to seetfrriicf. I consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse aud then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to ine so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
Lave felt that way ever since."

Mr. J. K. Reeve, wrillugiu the Funn
er'$ Home, says: "Some ono has been
asking whether it pays to go to the full
length of extensive cultivation. Won't
it really pay better to give just good,
fair cultivation? Docs not the cost of
excessive cultivation and fertilizing eat
up the profits!" We recently put this
question to the head gardener at Mr.
Jay Gould's county seat, where it is
needless to there is no question as
expense or i: but only an effort to
produce the ueat posiblo results. The
fruit and vegctublc garden was an exam
ple of thriftiness aud productiveness
such as is raiely seen even with the most
advanced of professional market gar
deners, and tbe superintendent said that
if he weie gardening for profit ho should
pursue exactly the same course as he did
then, because in his opinion it was the
maximum production, however obtained,
that gave the profit."
StlF.EP AND BKES.
For a fruit-grower to antagonize bee-
culture, declares Dr. J. W. Vance, ar
gucs the most stolid ignoronco and
stupidity; but there are numerous cases
on record where much opposition has
come from that source. We have had
one instance in this State, even of a
sheep raiser who went to law with his
bee-keeping neighbor, alleging that his
bees injured the clover in the pasture in
which the sheep grazed.
It is pretty well known to bee-keep
ers that bees not ouly do not iujure tho
plants or fruit which they visit in gath
ering honey, but the bees are almost in
dispensable to the fertility of the flowers.
Many bee-keepers are engaged in fruit
culture also, and regard tho presence of
bees as a great beneOt to the product of
fruit, rather than a damage to it. One
of our most enlightened and progressive
bee-keepers is a sheep raiser, and has no
fear that the little busy bee, while im
proving each shining hour (as Dr. Watts
says), visiting the clover blossoms of the
sheep pasture, will withdraw aught of
their nutritive property. Witcontia
Farmer.
PRUNING BLACK CURRANTS.
In this operation it must always be
borne in mind that the black currant
fruits best on wood of tbe previoui
summer ; it is therefore best to encourage
a free growth by cutting out tbe old
wood after it has borne for two or three
seasons, and training your branches up
in its place. To secure this end it is not
advisable to grow black currants on short
stems, as is often done with red currants,
as tbey are all the better if they throw
up strong young shoots from the roots
occasionally. In pruning young plants
raised from cuttings they should be cut
back until five or six good Btrong shoots
are obtained to form a tree. These
should then be left full length, and any
small shoots cut back to one bud. After
this all shoots that cross others may be
cut out yearly, and the weakest shoots
rut close so at to obtain a uico even
shaped tree, with an open center like a
tercup. AU branches that droop down
lower than eighteen Inches from the
ground should be cut off, as fruit that
gets splashed with dirt is of no use in
the market, and only fit for wine mak
ing. AU old wood that is becoming
weak should be cut out, and if a planta
tation begins to fail from old age it may
be cut down to the ground and given u
heavy dressing of manure. One year's
crop will thus be quite lost and part of
another, but the fruit will be much
larger afterwards on the young shoots
which spring up ubunduntly frotn the
old roots. After pruning is over the
ground between black currants should
always be forked over, putting manure
on first if the ground is poor. Journal
of Horticulture.
BML'T OP GRAIN.
According to German publications,
Dr. Oskar Brefeld, of Berlin, and Pro
fessor of Botany at Muujter, has observed
that the minute plants constituting the
fungus disease of smut in grain seud
their fugitive filaments into the substauce
of the host supporting thorn. Therefore
the smut fungus, be explains, consists of
two portions, viz: the threads (usually
colorless aud consequently not easily
Been) aud the bodies known as spores,
which are minute aud spherical aud in
muss constitute the smut, as seeu by the
naked eye. These spores, when free
from the grain 01 any other plant, nro
able to germinate and produce multitudes
01 sprout spores, which lu time may re
produce themselves. This discovery was
made by growing smut spores artificially
in uutrient solutions and, it is said, up
sets the theory that smuts can live and
grow only on plauts kuovru to be iu
fested by them.
Dr. Brefeld found that the form of
the fuugus so grown corresponded with
the fungi found in fresh dung. This
expluins why fields spread with fresh
duug were specially liable to attacks of
smut. The spread of the smut was
greatly increase J by spreading the iresh
dung ou the earth. This inllueuce of the
duug was lost with age. OKI rotted
mauuie whs not injurious. Tho iuft-ruueu
diawu is that fresti duug should uwt bu
Ustd eu grain field,
The above, should it be found true on
American fields, would constitute a good
reason why mnnure should be left in
heaps to rot, instead of being hauled out
and spread as soon as m.tdo, as ia now the
practice of many farmers. It is, how
ever, worthy of inquiry, whother danger
docs not arise more from smut-infectcd
provender consumed than from greenness
of the manure.
An American authority quotes Dr.
Brefeld as saying that in nature the vi
tality of corn smut may be preserved in
definitely in the dung of animals that
have eaten smutty corn, and it is ready
to form mycelial tube and entor the corn
when the latter is planted in ground fer
tilized with such manure. According to
the botanist of tho Nebraska Experiment
Station, smut spores may grow in manure
and liquids in tho barnyard for an indefin
ite period. A'e York World.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Look out for bee moths.
Look out for queenloss bee colonies.
The Fckin is the best duck for tho
farm.
Having the nest dark will help to pre
vent egg eating.
Mares excessively fat usually give
birth to weak colts.
When turkeys are kept confined they
need heavy feeding.
A good dust bath cives the fowls a
chance to clear themselves of lice.
Sulpher and tobacco burned la the
poultry house will rid it of red lice.
Yellow dropping in poultry oftoa
means indigestion rather than cholera.
Are you ready for winter! If not,
why not, and why not commence at once
to fix up?
Too much salt or salty food at one
time often proves injurious; a small quan
tity is beneficial. .
Hitch your colt by the side of a good
sensible horse, for he that walketh with
tho wise shall be wise.
Guineas are kept largely for their
eggs, of which they lay a large num
ber in the spring and early summer.
If the turkeys were hatched early
and are in a good condition it will
be better to market early than to feed
late.
While geese should be allowed to run
out every day that the weather will per
mit, they should be well sheltered at
night.
Pounding up old bones fine and giv
ing them to. th a hens to eat is a good
way of supplying materials for egg
shells.
Eggs always sell at a good price
from this time on through the win
ter, and it is an item to keep the hens
laying.
Only a little skill and considerable
patience are required to add to the
beauty and value of almost any saddle
horse you can buy.
One of the principal reasons why
women are more successful poultry rais
ers than mea is because they are more
painstaking and patient.
While good windows are necessary for
health and comfort, too much glass in
one place is often injurious. The best
plan is to avoid extremes either way.
One advantage with poultry on tho
farm is that it is rarely necessary to con
fine the fowls except in cold, stormy
weather, and for this reason it will cost
less to raise them.
The man who owns and works a good
team has more confidence in himself, a
better inspiration of life, and efforts to
improve the condition of self aud family,
than does the person not thus equipped.
The hog pen should be always liber
ally bedded with straw, not only where
the pigs sleep, but the yard outside,
where they run. Unless this yard is well
bedded much of tho liquid mauure will
be lost.
A horse should always be watered in
the morning before being fed, otherwise
it might wash more or less of the food
just eaten undigested from tbe stomach.
After a few minutes let the horse eat a
little hay and then give the grain or
meal ration.
A mixture of lard and sand is the
California remedy for lice on stock.
This ointment does not need to be ap
plied to the entire animal, but a ring of
it two or three inches wide made com
pletely around the neck will have the
desired effect.
Galen Wilson says a microscope should
be as much of a creamery' implement as
a thermomctor, to study the filth from
the seams or corners of milk receptacles
or from filthy floors. The wriggling
animal life brought to view will be an
incentive to cleanliness.
A farmer of Atchison, Kan., wanted
to dig a well, so he plowed a lot of land
and planted it with oats. Every day he
watched the oats, observing the spots
that showed the greatest moisture.
Finally he selected a spot and Bank a
well. At twenty-four feet he had a fine
stream of water. It it said to be the
best well in the county.
The mares should be bred in the
fall rather than in the spring, as foaling
late in tbe season does not prevent the
mare from being used to better advan
tage in the spring, the colt being weaned
when tho dam is likely to be required,
It is also more economical to care foi
the colt during the winter and turn i'
on the pasture in the spring.

The two Rtf at agencies on which we mast

McSwlney'B Gun.
Near Horn Head, County Donegal,
Ireland, there is a hole in the rocks called
McSwinry's gun. It is on the scucoust
and is said to have connection with a
cavern. When the nortn winds blows
and tho sea is at half flood, tbe wind and
the waves enter the cavern and send up
jots of water from tha "gun" to a height
of nioro than 100 feet. The jets of
water are accompanied by explosions
which may bo heard for miles. St.

You can't believe
Borne denlpra alwayti. They 'want to
soil the medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy ia the ono that does you the
most pood.
Which ono is it?
Sometimo", it may bo a matter
of doubt. Hut, in tho case of
Dr. Picreo's Fnvorito Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's a
matter that can bo proved.
With tho facts beforo you, it's
an insult to your intolligenco to
havo something clso offered as
" just as good."
And hero's tho proof : Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg
ularities, and dineases, tho "Fnvor
ito Prescription " is tho only ono
that's guaranteed.
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll havo your
money back.
There's strength and vigor for
every tired and feeblo woman,
henlth and a new life for every
delicato and ailing woman and if
there's no help, thcro's no pay.
