Wo don't mean that tho farmer who
grow flowers should vie with tho flor-
ii in Beuing wnai no produces to the
public. It in possible that the flowers
produced by the farmer would eome
mostly at times when such flowers were
abundant, and brought low prices.
But they nre worth just as- much to
beautify his home and givo pleasure to
the farmer's wife and family as if they
sold at winter hot house prices. It is
because farmers do not realize, tho
pleasures and comforts they get from
the farm that they think farming don't
pay. Few rich men can deck their
tables with flowers half tho year at
least as can tho farmer if he tries. He
can with somo hardy perrennials begin
about as soon as snow is off in spring,
and decorate his rooms with these and
their successors until snow flies in the
fall. When a farmer does this one or
two years ho will probably try hard for
a greennouse, ana tuns get morepleaa'
ure, though of course with somo addi
tional work. It is not easy to gain
nonest pleasure in this world without
working for it, and it is always the
work that precedes that makes the
pleasuro more welcome and enjoyable.

KLT.K AS MEDIdVU.
In thfi long, trying days of summer,
men who work as hard as the average
dairyman does will be weary with tho
strain that they undergo. Mind and
body will be tired, and night finds
them nervous and out of temper. Whon
this condition is reached, there is noth
ing so useful to work a cure as a glass
of milk. It should be heated to about
ninety-nine degrees and sipped a little
at a time, end nothing in the way of
food taken with it other than a very
small piece of bread and butter and
eaten slowly. Such treatment will
more quickly restore a man with nerves
unstrung and temper ready to explode
to a normal, mental and physical con
dition, than anything eUu thnt ia
known. It will work with women
equally well, and as it is always in tho
house a daily trial of it according to
directions will result in improvement
of nervous troubles that aro often,
when left to grow, the fore runners of
protricted illness. Physicians in the
search for remedies for diseases that
drugs cannot cure have taken up milk
and are surprised at the results. It
has brought health wher their knowl
edge had decreed death must occur.
A western exchange tells us of a case
oi woman, where the physician had
pronounced her incurable, getting well
and staying so on a few ounces of
cream used daily with the addition of
some sponge cake. Sip warm milk
when you feel out of sorto. It will re
Jiove your nerves and fortify your
stomach, and the world will look
brighter to yon after you have taken

yEBTrttZTNO THE ORCHART).
The question is ofteu asked, would
you manure just around tho tree or the
whole surface of the ground? The
most approved practice is to manurn
the whole surface of the grtund. It
has been found that potash is ono of
the constituents that our fruit trees
draw most heavily from the soil, and
wo must, therefore, in order to keep
the balauco even return this to the soil
in larger quantities than other fer
tilizers. Tho most convenient and cheapest
way of applying this elomeut is in tho
form of wood ashes, in a bushel of
which there are about three poundii of
potash, worth four cents per pound, or
tweleve cents for th bushel. Then
wfl have about one pound of phosphoric
acid, worth four cents, which will give
us ft total of sixteen cents for these
two constituents alono. Both of those
aro very valuable agents for orchard
use.
Besides these in wood ashes are lime,
magnesia ami iron, also important fer
tilizers. This makes a very vuluablo
and almost complete fertilizer for
orehordj. But in addition we need
nitrogen, and this can bo supplied by
a dr.ing of barnyurd manure every
second year Thul gives a complete
fertilizer for the orchard.
A good urtifiaisl fertilizer, according
" I'roiecsor Janes, for ou acre ot
gr .v.-;ul would be as follows: Wood
asheR, foity bushels; rnihhed bones,
to Rive phosphoric aeid, 1U0 pouudti;
and sulphate of ammonia, to give ua
the nitrogen, ICO pounds. Thin would
cost 3-50 an acre and bo a very com

nmt.i in a gro feeder, reuiiing its root
Uuwu deep for food. Tho bctt way to
grow tomatoes Is to throw out tho soil
to the depth of two feet, with an equal
diameter, rut six inches of well rotted
manure at the bottom and fill the hole
with the material thrown out, made
rich. Where there is sufficient ground
the hills should be eight feet apart,
riant treated in this way will yield far
more fruit than if planted closer. The
plants when Bet phould be short and
stocky. Those frequently sold in tho
markets, and set in the usual way, will
not produce as much frnit,oras quickly,
as would the plants from seed sown
where they are to grow. Tall loggy
plants can b planted to advantage by
inserting the plant a little distance from
the center of the hill prepared fot it,
then bending the plant down and cov
ering it with earth to the depth ot an
inch, leaving the top out more than
two inches. The plant will immediately
commence throwing out roots thickly
tho whole length of tho buried stem,
and make a strong rapid growing plant.
The same plant treated in the usual
manner, seems to grow smaller, instead
of larger, for eome days or weeks. If
the plant has plenty of room to spread,
it does best when trailing upon the
ground, the influence of tho warm earth
being very beneficial upon fho ripen
ing of the fruit. But in wet seasons
there are serious objections to this
plan, as the fruit is quite liable to rot
if lying on wet ground. Yet in averace
seasons the chances are in favor of "ire
care" in training tho plants. The num
ber of first class sorts is now so great
that in th selection of varieties, one
must be guided by individual prefer
ence. A medium sized fruit, perfectly
smooth, of bright red color, ripening
evenly clear to tho stem, without a
hard center, and with as little seed as
possible, is tho nearest approach to
perfection. Yet under different con
ditions tho same seed produces very
different results. For a late crop it is
advisable to sow some seed where the
plants ore to grow, about tho first of
June, or at any time before the l.rth.
The plants will como into bearing when
me eariy set plants begin to fail. Tho
cutting off of the first fruits that set is
strongly to be urged. These early
fruits rarely make good specimens, as
the plant at that time has not sufficient
strength for their development.

A Matter
IT costs more to make Ro-al Baking Powder
than any other, because its ingredients
are more highty refined and expensive. But
the RoTat is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
