consular rrviorts for April. Lemons,
Mr. limbl says, bcRinto ririru in Sep
tember, ami nre picked from Novem
ber to April. Tho November crop is
tho hardiest and best. It will keep
until curly Mimmer, and is stored un
til Into in tho spring.nnd then shipped.
Tho lemons nro picked preen, but
turn yellow in tho boxes. 15efore tho
fruit is shipped abroad it is taken out
of tho boxeB and repacked. That which
is bruised or specked nnd which would
probably rot in transit is either peeled
nnd too jtiico pressed out or cnt np
with tho peel in halves or quarters and
packed in barrels with brine (sen
water, generally, with somo salt nd
tied) and shipped to London or Liver
orpool for confectioners' use. The
losl of tho crop comes tothiseouutry.
The next best goes to England.
The small, greenish tingod lemons
that are sold hero early in tho fall are
pecured as follows : The trees are al
lowed to suffer for water during tho
summer months. About September 1
plenty of water is given thorn, and tho
soil around them is thoroughly culti
vated. Tho trees put forth email
dwarfish flowers, which during the
following summer will bring forth tho
email lemons that sell in this city fre
quently "twenty-five, for a quarter."
This crop is harvested in Juno and
July, and stands exportation even bet
ter than tbo choice November fruit.
There is no such practice as curing
lemons. They aro gathered and packed
in boxes. After tiftcon days they nro
repacked nnd held vtutil Bhippcd.
Boxes of winter fruit hold about 300
lemons, whilo from 360 to 400 of tho
smaller summer fruit is often packed
in one crate. New York Press.

Cinn'MVEN-TINO TItK BEES.
The way to keep the bees away from
the trough where your horses driuk is
to provide the bees with water else
where, for they need this liquid just
as much ns horses and cattle. Make
ono or more shallow wooden troughs
for tho bees, and place them near the
hives, aud then see that they are kept
full of clean water. Do this now, for
the bees select their drinking places
early in tho spring, and if tho water
noes not fail them they will not seek
it elsewhere. If you will make two
troughs for the bees and iu one put a
little salt, in the water, so much the
better, for bees nre somewhat partial
to Blightly salted or brackibb water.

CALF-TAIL HOLDER.
Here is a simple device for holding
a pail when feeding tho calves : First,
make a frame out of plauk a foot wide
aud long enough to accommodato the
number of calves to bo fed, leaving
the bottom opcu. Take a board one
foot wide ; with a keyhole saw cnt
holes large enough to tako a pail iu
half way up tho sides.-iu number erjunl
to tho number of calves. Kail this on
the top of the plank framo. Fasten
the whole to tho sido of the barn, or,
if to be used out of doors, to the
fence, so that it cannot bo moved
away, lllicu the time comes to feed
set the pails along in tho holes aud
pour the milk in. ly this meauB you
givo each calf its own mess, and tho
pails cannot bo tipped over. Con
necticut Idrmer.
KEEP AHEAD OF THE WEEDS.
There is only one economical way
to tight weeds that is to keep ahead
of them. When they are just break
ing through the .ground they can be
slaughtered with less labor than at
any other time. That n the time to
take, them in hand. A little later and
the work will bo doubled. Too many
overlook this fact. In many towns
five per cent, off is aUowed on ail
taxes paid before a certain date, and
men hustle to pay their tax and save
that fivo per cent. A much larger per
cent, off is secured by tho man who
takes tho weeds in season. Ono can
go over a garden with an iron rake
when tho weeds are just breaking
ground, and in an hour's time, ac
complish wonders. A week liter he
will have to take his hoe nnd labori
ously cut, cut, cnt. And even then
he doesn't destroy half as many of tho
roots of weeds as he would have done
a week before with the rake. Neglect
ing the weeds is something one sim
ply ennuot afford. American Agri
culturist. WKITrlNQ BALKY HOB.SE3.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom it
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound a balky hoise, almost
every owner or driver of ono docs it
to-dny. It is probable the greatest
piece of horse fully in existence. It
is not a rcmuant of barbarism, but it
is continued barbarity, and brings out
what original and acquired sin there
is in a man.
The brain of a horse can retain but
one idea at a time. If the idea is to
bulk, whipping only intensifies it. A
change of that idea, then, is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores of
ways, a few of which will be named.
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes; tie
his tail tightly to the bcllybanj or
backhand; fasten a stick in his mouth ;
tie a cord tightly about his leg; un
check and pet him awhile ; clasp his
nostrils aud shut his wind off until ho
wants to go unhitch Liiu from the
vehicle and then hitch him up again,
or uhnott any way to get his miud on
something else.
Whipping or Ecolding always does
harm. The treatment should ever be
gentle. There aro more balky drivers
than hordes. National Stockman.
CUHfiAXTS AND OOOSEISnRRIES.
hince the advent of the currant
worm these tine fruits have been much
neglected, writes W. L. Anderson, of
Indiana. No others aro so highly
rtlibhed. They come early when there
is no Mibbtituto for thoia. For can
ning they huvd uo buptrior. They
can lie raised easily an I cheaply, are
a bure crop, will come into beariug
the sccoud year nnd always bring a
good price on tbo market.
I came past a number of gardens to
day. In all of these were currant and
gooseberry bushes, but not a bingle
hill that would produce even fair ber
ries. Tbe grata nnd weeds were
abundant and some of the bushes bad,
I think, 200 canes iu the hill. I
never saw a curraut or gooseberry
bush thinned enough uuless grown by
n specialist. My li neot fruit is gath
ered from (bote bills that have a bin
flo htalli, nnd if planted three feet
npart will outyicld any other method
of tliinninu'.

Yesterday 1 tried to dig into a pntuu
tlvt) yearn old, nud, though thouthua
are four feet npart, tJ Iviw up a
spadeful of dirt would break hun
dreds of roots. I am sure plowing
would injure them. I keep them
heavily mulched, turning tho mulch
over if it gets weedy. This can be
quickly douo with a fork. For worms
I use Farts gr?en or London pnrplo.
I can save twenty bushels of goose
berries in twenty minutes with a good
sprayer. I begin as soon as the worms
come. I givo my patches a good dress
ing of uuleached wood ashes every
third year, and keep them constantly
mulched with coarse stable, manure
With such treatment I think a patch
will last with undiminished yield for

FARM AND GARDEU NOTES.
It is easy to spoil a good horso by
an ill-fitting collar.
AIwbvb have a uniform quality, and
the berry box well filled.
Tbe hard-working horso requires
nutritious food to repair tho woar of
body aud muscle.
A band lul of linscod meal added to
tho usual feed of a horso will tend to
mako his coat shiny.
A firm hand, a cool head and a
soothing word will do far more than
punishment with a frightened horso.
Levelling tho feet nnd shoeing nt
tho proper timo will generally keep
the horso in good working condition.
Tho day of rubber or elnstio tires
and ball-bearing nxles is near at hand,
when tho efficiency of the horse will
bo increased.
If you would have a good market,
offer only good berries, give good
measure and alwaysdeal honestly with
vour customers.
If more farmers would keep a brood
maro or two and raise a choice colt
each year there would bo more money
in farming for them.
Tho ground surfaco of the orchard
can be uiado to yield a largo iucreaso
by turning it over to tho chickens.
This will also help to keep the trees
free from insects.
For scratches nothing is better than
a real physio followed by two days of
rest. At tho same time clip the hair
from the heels of tho horse and apply
sulphur ono part to crude petroleum
two parts.
r.cmombcr : It costs no more to
raise good berries ; it cost no more to
pick and deliver good borries. Freight
and express charges are just the same,
and when sold good berries always go
first aud bring largest prices.
The hens carao to the rescue in good
shape, when beof went up in price, and
many is the good meal that common
people have enjoyed from eggs at
twelve cents a dozen, when high-priced
beet was out of the question.
Old inossv pastures that are to be
renovated should bo plowed and a
fertilizer of two parts boneblaek to one
of muriate of potash applied. Use a
sulky plow and you can turn two or
three acres per day. Any less thorough
method is time thrown away.
If your farm is all run down, and
the soil is poor, don't give up in de
spair until you have tried poultry. It
may bo you will display more en
thusiasm, ambition and common senso
in that work thau you have in regular
farm work. If you do go in to win,
you will come out ahead.
If your hens lay eggs that have
thin, soft shells, easily broken, give
them more lime in some shape. They
must have proper material iu order to
turn out good goods. Go where a
house is being repaired and lug off a lot
of the old plaster and throw iu the
yard. Tho hens will do the rest.
If yon keep a large breed of fowls
like Cochins, Brahainas, etc., you
should place the roosts near tho
ground, ns in jumping to the ground
their feet become sore, and corns or
bunches develop on the bottom of the
feet. For lighter breeds this pre
caution is unnecessary, as they are
not so clumsy.
Pi'lmilire Fire Eu'rinpg.
Tho oldest knowu fire engine for
pumping water is probably the one
mentioned in the Hpiritalia of Hero,
about 150 li. C. This engine, it is
said, was contrived with twosiugle act
in r pu'upj with a single beam piv
oted between thu two for working tho
plungers. Tho streams of water
united iu a single discharge pipe and
passed up a trough having au air
chamber, aud out of a nozzle which
niiht be turned in any direction as
desired. Fire engiues appear also to
havo been usod exteusiv.dy by the
early Humans, who furthermore or
ganized regular fire brigades.
Iu tho early part of the sixteenth
century, a lira engine known as a
"water syriug" was introduced, which,
in a measure, resembled the modern
forms of tiro eugiaes. This was
mounted on whoels and the water was
poured by levers. This form of en
gine was very generally used iu Ger
many. In Kuglaud about the same
time large brass syringes were used.
These held several quarts of water and
werj operated by three men, two ol
them holding tho syriuge at each side
with one hand aud directing to uozzle
with tho other, whilo the third oper
ated tho plunger. It was necessary,
alter having discharged tho water
from tho syringe, to rolill it from a
well or cittern near the liro or from
bucket". Th) syringes were latei
litt-d to porliiblo tauks of water.
The tiiit tueoessful lirj etigiuo wac
probably tba Xowahaiu eugiuc, aud
this was the pioneer of manually oper
nloJ liio engines. The pumps iu
theso engines were built on many dif
ferent ilesigua, but most cases the
were operated by levers. Fire eu
giues similar iu form to the Nawshaui
eugiuu were iu use up to the year 1851).

'There Is a frrnvo responsibility resting
on tho physician who proscribes alcoholic liq
uor. It may arouse in a susceptible patient
a dormant Inherited tendency to drink. Ho
may, by authorising its use during the per
iod of convalescence, tlx a habit upoua patient
of feeble will which tho latter will never be
able to shako off. So physician who real
izes this great moral responsibility will bo
willing to accept It habitually. He certainly
knows that thetiest medical authorities areo
that aloohollo Intoxicants are rarely used as
a medicine; that at best they aro dangerous
remedies, and thnt the less they aro resorted
to tho bettor for both tho brain and body, tho
better for his well-being, physical and moral.
"Furthermore, every physician owes It to
his profession to teach his patients tho litter
fallacy of the common belief that alcohol Is
an article of food value. It has none what
ever. Tho uso of intoxicants in any quan
tity whatever, or at anytime, is entirely use
loss and unnecessary. Furthermore, tho
continued use of them gradually Induces
structural degradations and functional de
rangements of the grent bodily organs, thug
leading to the gravest physical disorders.
Alcohol is a poison, aud nothing more; a
poison which exorcises its paralysing, narco
tizing Influence In exact proportion to the
qunutlty consumed and tho power of theoou-
sumer s physical system to resist its poison
ous action. It every intelligent physician
would thus correct old erron and dissemin
ata a knowlodgo of the truth, there would bo
a great impetus given to tho effort to pulver
ize tho rum power." Toledo Blade.

Hoping a Tiger.
A tiger in Tcnnossoo may be sot
down as a dooided novelty, and the ac
count ot its capture makes au inter
esting story.
Ono day a circus carao to Enoxvillc,
and ou tho eve of departure the oirous
wagons were being loaded on tho cars.
A switch engine was shoving somo
cars abont when ono of them became
derailed, colliding violently with two
cage wagons and tho cage containing
three tigers was badly damaged. The
woodwork was crushed in, leaving a
hole of sufficient size for tho tigers to
get ont.
Ono of tbo animals leapod from tho
cage onto the flat oar and from there
to tho gronnd. Tho two remaining
ones wero abont to follow suit when
the trainer and several other employes
of tho circus rushod np to the oago
and prevented tho exit. But ono of
the tigers was at large, and as soon at
tho fact became known a stampede of
the people in tho vioinity occurred,
while tho circus men rushed to inform
the managers.
Preparations for tho capture of the
tiger were made. Ono of tho Texas
cowboys, aud tho ono most perfect iu
haudlinga lasso, was detailod 'o make
tho attempt. Tho man handling the
tiger was also instructed to assist in
the dangerous duty, nnd tho pair went
to work. '
They located tho tiger about a
stone's throw from tbe cage iu which
ho had been contiued. Tho huge brute
was crouched under a box car between
tho rails. Ilia eyes shone brightly
and looked to his captors as large ns
two full moons.
A largo dry goods box was procured,
a hole bored iu tho bottom, and the
box placed on its sido convenient io
tho animal. One end of the lasso was
shoved through tho hole and the Texan
threw tho rope. His judgment was
perfect and tho lariat droppod over
the neck and loft forelog of tho tiger
to a nicety. Then began tho work of
landing the aniranl in tho box.
He was pulled up to it slowly, and
although he resisted considerably, was
at lost safely lodged iu the box, but
not nntil ho had torn off ono glove
wort) by tho cowbowand lacerated his
hand badly. Tho box was then nailed
np nnd the tiger hauled away, growl
ing spitefully. Atlanta Constitution.
