The Apple M ft Timber Tree.
In Rome sections of this country the
apple tree is looked on for its produol
as a pieoe of timber as well as a fruit
producing article. For this reason
the old German frnit growers in the
vicinity of Philadelphia always aimed
to get a nice straight trunk to an ap
ple tree, and train it np comparative
ly high before allowing it to form a
head. Moderns hare supposed that
the chief object to bo gained by this
method of training was in order to fa
cilitate plowing operations, but the
ultimate end in haviDg a good trunk
for timber purposes was not forgotten.
In this particular region the wood was
used chiefly for shoemakers' lasts—a
business which, in the earlier history
of Philadelphia, did much to help the
trade of that famous manufacturing
centre of population. The apple re
gions have mostly disappeared from
that vicinity; but other sections of
the country seem to understand the
value of apple-tree wood. It is stated
in the Country Gentleman that a fruit
grower of Cayuga sold to a well-known
firm of saw-makers of Philadelphia—
Disston & Sons—the trunks of acme
of their trees, which were cut away
because the trees had grown too
closely together, to the value of SSOO.
In this caso the wood was, of course,
used for the handles of saws.—-Boston

HOW TO MARKET BKETR.
New beets for market should be
cleau, sound and even sized—large
and very small ones should be kept
for home use—and carefully tied in
bunches of five. The tops should be
kept on, as untrimmed beets look and
sell better than the trimmed, and
many people use the tops as spinnaoh,
for which they are a fair substitute.—
New York World.
SUCKERS ON CORN.
Tiiie practice of pulling off the suck
ers from growing corn is muoh less
common than it used to be. The
sucker cut while young is not worth
anything ns feed, aud if left its leaves
gather carbon from the air and make
it valuable. The origin of the suoker
is an injury to the original plant. If
this occurs early enough the suckers
will have more or less cars. They
also help the ears on the main stalk
to till when a drought occurs, as the
Bucker is always later in blossoming
and will furnish pollen after the blos
som on tho main stem has dried up.—
Boston Cultivator.
PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDS.
An agricultural contemporary finds
fault becuuse a large proportion of the
apple orchards planted either die out
or never yield any profit to their own
ers. This is no doubt true, but if all
the trees planted lived and had good
care the market would be glutted with
fruit all the time and every season,
and no grower could make a prolit
upon liis investments. It is much bet
ter its it is, for now the industrious,
intelligent fruit grower has a chance
of securing something for his labor,
because his competitors are so few
and scattering. When all mankind
becomes equally intelligent and in
dustrious there will be much less in
centive to labor than at tho present
time.—New York Sun.
KEEr THEM RUNNING.
An observing farmer, while in con
versation with the editor at a recent
poultry show, remarked that it was
due to the efforts of his ten-year-old
son that the ezg basket was kept heap
ing full by his chickens last summer
and all fall. "Tho little fellow," re
marked tho farmer, "always paid
great attention to everything he
could read or hear about the keeping
of eliickons, and one of tho things
which impressed him strongly was the
oft-repeateit injunction to keep tho
hens at work if you want eggs. Well,
the boy had charge of feeding the
chickens, and he would get a heaping
measure of grain and go down to the
barnyard and call his pets. They
would come on the run irom all di
rections, and then the fun began. The
lad would throw a couple of handfuls
of grain iirst in one direction and
then another, scattering it over a
space fully fifty feet square, and much
of it into the grass. Tho way the hens
would sail around after tho grain
would remind you of a small riot, and
after they got through feeding the
barnyard would look as if some one
had been over it with a small plow.
We had plenty of eggs to use and sell,
even through moulting time. Tho
boy has since rigged up a heuery in
one corner of tho barn and keeps his
hens hustling about in hay, chaff and
clover up to tho knees hunting for
their grain, and we get more eggs
than any threo neighbors combined."

IMPROVING PASTURES.
Now thero are just two important
points to this matter—first, to make
more grass grow, and, secondly, not
to eat it all up—that is, leave all the
roots of the grass and a little of the
top on the ground when you take the
stock off tho pasture. To accomplish
the first point I havo never tried any
method that pleased me better than
sowing buckwheat and seeding down
at the same.
I have to-day (July 3) just sowed
about eight acres with buckwheat and
seeded same with timothy and clover
—so you seo I practice my own teach
ing. My ground was plowed in tho
fall and again in spring after corn
planting, and by repeated harrowings
was kept mellow and free from weeds,
and is now, in spito of the severe
drought, moist, and in good condition
to make seed grow.
Tho grass seed 6owed at this time of
year must be covered to make a suc
cess. I sow buckwheat and harrow
once, and then sow grass seed and har
row again. I have always got a good
catch of grass in this way. .
If soil is very poor, it would be best
to use a little manure, but it needs
only as thin a coat as can be spread
on the ground. Hut if soil is moder
ately fertile, the thorough tillage of
this system will mako a success with
out any manure.
Some will raise an objection to my
choioe of grtiss, aud I would say to
suoh that I only let any of my pasturo
ground that can be plowed lio in
grass two or three years. —Cultivator
and Country Qentleman.
THE BEST THREE-FIELD ROTATION.
The proper rotation of crops is a
necessity, mentions W. M. King. The
seed producing ones should be alter
nated with the nitrogen-gathering
ones. Rotation is valuable in aiding
in the destruction of noxious weeds,
but must be varied to be eflcctive.
For instance, two years or more of
corn or other hoed crops will be fouud
to be necessary for the destruction of
the wild morning glory or bindweed.
Insect enemies are also frequently de
stroyed by a rotation that interferes
with their natural habits. The same
is true of diseases which attack crops
when repeated too often upon any soil.
Where wheat, corn and hay are the
cash crops, and a period of rest from
the constant production of corn is re
quired, the following three-field sys
tem is the one that I have found to be
best adapted for general farming in
southern Ohio. The constant annual
improvement of the soil under it war-
rants its more general adoption. This
rotation involves the keeping of suffi
cient stock to consume and to convert
into manure the crops raised, except
ing of coarse the surplus of grain,
pork, beef, wool and dairy produots
sold off the farm.
After dividing the tillable land into
three fields of equal size, begin the
rotation by seeding field No. 1 with
wheat. In the spring sow on this one
bushel of clover seed and eight quarts
of timothy on every eight aores. Avoid
pasturing the olover in the fall and
until the middle of May the following
spring. Where the most timothy ap
pears do not pasture, but cut for hay.
In August haul out the manure from
the barnyard and putin piles 12x12
feet apart; twenty two-horse loads
will be sufficient for each one. Let
this remain piled until the following
spring, when the olover sod on which
the manuro has been spread should be
broken up and planted very early to
corn. As soon as the crop matures,
cut the corn nearly knee high and set
it up in 100-hill shocks. Before drill
ing in the wheat, harrow in the same
direction the drill is to be run. In
this way labor is economized, and the
high cut stalks when harrowed down
act as a mulch and winter protection
to the wheat plants, and also measur
ably prevent the washing of the soil
on high points or knolls, which would
otherwise wash badly during the win
ter months. By this plan one plow
ing serves for threo crops—one of
corn, one of wheat, and one of olover
and timothy for hay and pasture.
By such a system of rotation farm
ing is made more profitable and pleas
aut. For, instead of breaking up a
bard, sun dried soil just after harvest,
as it isusually done in July or August,
the manure can be hauled out at leisure,
and needed rast can follow the hard
labor of haying and harvesting ; vari
ous needed repairs can be made, the
farm implements put iu order and re
painted, and some opportunity afforded
to visit ono's neighbors, meet with
farmers' clubs and granges and com
pare notes on the problem of increas
ing and cheapening production.—

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Blue in all shades is popular just
now.
Watch for vermin and rout it at tho
first approach.
See that the fowls and chicks havo
a constant supply of water those days.
Keep ahead of the woods in the
onion beds by a free use of tho wheel
hoe.
So far this season wo have had re
markably good success with our young
chicks.
Keep the hen houses clean and swoet.
Fresh earth bountifully spread under
the roosts is a wonderfal help towards
the latter.
Try a tablospoonful of nitrate soda
to each cabbage plant, scattering it
well around.
Sharp toeth will cause the horse to
form the habit of letting its tongue
hang out of its mouth. Look out for
thom.
Do the flies bother the oolts very
much? Better keep them in during
the day and put them out in the pas
ture at night.
Vaccination of the calves against
"blackleg" and of tho older cattle
against anthrax is now advocated in
some quarters.
Feed tho little chicks what they will
eat up clean. Do it as often as the;
will do their part—three, five or even
seven times a day.
If farmers would keep a brood mare
OT two and raise a choico colt each
year there would bo more money in
farming for them.
It is claimed by ono wh9 has tried
it that the application of hot linseed
oil will tighteu up the loose felloes of
a wagon and keep them tight.
Examine the feet of the horses
often. If the shoes are inside the rim
of the foot, take that horse to the
shop at once or you will have a coru.
Tho shipping of pregnant animuls
to the stock yard* is not profitable. It
is unlawful, and the sooner farmers
guard against it, tho better for their
purses.
With the good price of beef and
hidos it would seeui good policy for
the farmer to buy his harness soon
beforo the inevitable high price of
leather arrives.
L. R. Jones, of the Veriront Sta
tion, advises the hot water method of
treating oat seod, not only for tho im
mediate benefit, but for tho eradica
tion of smut from future crops.
(Jive the work horses a run in tho
pasture at night. It will do thom a
great deal of good, but you must food
them just tho same. If you expect
them to work don't take the grain
away from them.
lirood sows properly managed de
termine the prolit in tho herd of
swine. One-third should be over
thirty months of age, one-third over
twenty months, and the remainder
over ten months of ago to insure fair
sucoess.
Chancellor Snow, of the Kansas
State University, is sending out in
fected chinoh bugs to such farmers as
ask lor them, hoping in this way to
suppress the chinch bug ravages whioh
so seriously threaten the wheat crop in
Eastern Kansas.
Glean the feet out thoroughly with
a foot-hook every day when the horses
come in from work. Then when the
horse is cool put the feet in a pail of
water and wash them. It will only
take a few minutes and will keep the
feet in good oondition.
The best time to out any grass for
hay it just when the seed is about to
form. Gutting should never be de
ferred until the seeds are dry, as the
plant is in the boßt condition for
utook when in the milky stage, the
nutritious matter being then arrested
in the stalks.

Played a Trick on Yamlcrbilt.
Brico's greatest play was building
the Nickel Plate. lie put iu every
dollar lie could got, and from any
source. Thero came a time, too,when,
to save himself from utter ruin, if not
something worse, ho had to sell. He
went to Vanderbilt, whose road the
Nickel Plato paralleled. Vauderbilt
wouldn't buy the Nickel Plate. He
laid ho could afford to wait the first
mortgage foreclosure and buy it from
a Sheriff.
"If you don't buy it, Jay Oould
will," said Brice.
"Oh, no, ho won't," said Vauder
bilt.
Brice then went torOould. He knew
that ho didu't want tho Nickel Plate,
but he had a beautiful scheme to pro
pose. He knew Vauderbilt would buy
the road before he would allow Oould
to get in. Here oame Brice's strategy.
He told Oould that if ho would sit
silent aud not contradict, neither af
lirin nor deny, any newspaper articles
to the effect that ho was going to buy
the Nickel Plate, and after this clnm
liko silence had continued for a week,
if he would then ride slowly over tho
Nickol Plato in au observation ctfr,
Vanderbilt would buy the road, and
he give Oould $500,000.
Oould didn't care for tho $500,009,
but he was a jocose speculator, and it
struok hiin that the whole thing would
be a majestic joke on Vanderbilt. The
papers said that Oould was goiug to
buy tho Nickol Plate. Oould, when
questioned, looked wise. At the end
of a week he meandered, snail-like,
over the Nickol Plate ip the rear end
of an observation car, and had all the
air of a man who was lookiug at a
piece of property. Stories were wired
about Gould's trip from every water
tank and way station along the line,
and before Oould had reached Chi
cago Vanderbilt, iu a lit of hysterics,
wired Brice that ho would tako the
Nickel Plate. Vanderbilt took tho
Nickel Plato and Brice was saved.—

throughout China uo chemist's shop
is unprovided with more or less of it.
According to tho account given by
Lockhart (medical missionary in
China) of a visit to a ginseng mer
chant, it is stored in small boxes
lined with shoet lead, which aro kept
in larger boxes containing quicklimo
for obsorbiug moisture. The pieces
of the precious drug ore further in
closed iu silk wrappers and kept in
little silk-lined boxes. Tho merohant,
when showiug a pioco bared of its
wrappings to Mr. Tjookhart for his in
spection, requested him not to breatho

on its morits, and related the marvel
ous cures he had know it to effect.
Tho root is oovered, according to
quality, with tho finest embroidered
silk, plain cotton cloth, or paper.
In China, ginseng is often sent to
friends as a valuable present, and in
such cases thero is usually presented
along with the drug a small finely
finished double kettle for its prepara
tion. Tho inner kottlo is made of sil
ver, and between it and tho outside
copper vessel is a small spaco for hold

cover, in which rice is put, with a
little water. Tho ginseng is placed in
the inner vessel, the cover put OD, and
the whole apparatus set on the fire.
Wheu the rice iu tho cover is cooked,
the medicine is ready, and is eaten by
the patient, who drinks the ginseng
teu at the same time.
The dose of tho root is from sixty to
ninety grains. Duriug the use of the
drug, tea-drinking is prohibited for at
least a month, without any othor
change of diet. It is taken iu the

It is unnecessary to remind the

Duilil Local Fact tries.
Every growing, ambitious Eastern,
Southern or Western city desires inoro
factories. It wauts them of different
kiuds, also, so that one may be busy
while auother is dull, aud skilled la >or
will be iu activo demaud. Iu order to
attract investments all suuii to.vm
should help elect protectionist CUM
gressmen, aud make their
felt by chambers of commerce an I
the press iu favor of protection. Such
displays of tho industrial spirit impel
manufacturers to establish factories
and eucourago their wealthy frieud*
to invest therein. When a town votes
for a rampant froe trader for CJU
gress, and through its board of trade
denounces manufacturers as "monop
olists," it is likely to be left severely
alone, despite all probable undoubted
natural advantages.
l'he Value uf Hops
While our exports of American
grown hops were practically the same
quantity duriug the eleven months
ending May 31, 1891 and 1895, the
value received duriug the later perio.l
was less than oue-half of what was
paid a year earlier. Hops that sold at
thirty cents a pound for export iu
1893 were, early in 1891, worth lesH
than fifteen cents a pouud to ship
abroad after the markets of the world
were thrown open to us.

THe Sheria*a RIM.
A deputy sheriff yesterday started
from tho Beoehring Hospital with two
insane men who h*d boon committed
to the aaylum it Ukiah.
"Ton bed better take some along to
help yon unless yon want to hero somo
tronble," suggested one of the polioe
surgeons. "Two men I should think
would bo too meny for you."
"Not much. It is easier to take
two men than one. I'll show you how
I do it."
The deputy led the man, who imag
ined he was King of England, to one
sido and oonflded to him :
"Your Majesty, that man oyer
there," indicating the man who thought
his head was an eight-day eloek, "is
as orazy as a bedbug, and is liable to
hurt some of your subjects if he gets
loose. I want you to help me take
oare of him till I can lock him up in
the asylum."
"That's nn unseemly occupation for
the King of England. Bah ! Attend
ant to the insane !" remarked tho dis
gusted monarch. "But I will do it.
I like adventure. You will take due
precaution to conceal my identity or
four head will be the price of your
jarelessness."
The deputy whispered to the human
slock.
"Do you see that fellow over
ihere?" indicating the king. "Well,
lie's crazy, and if you don't keep your
;ace toward him he's liable to stop
four hands and touch off your alarm.
Now, I want yon to help me watch
him till I can land him in the asylum.
Then you can run right along.
When the deputy left the hospital the
king and tho clock had locked arms
and were hanging to each other des
perately. The deputy smoked and
read all the wny to Ukiab, while the
insano men took care of each other.—

Baseball by Electricity.
Baseball by electricity received a
practical test at Palmer's Theatre yes
terday and was at once branded a suc
cess. Tho stage is fitted up as a ball
ground. The players nre small figures
stationed in their respective positions.
Tho catcher stands behind the plate
and plays "back" or "off tho bat "just
as tho circumstances denote. He
moves on a sort of wheel. The pitch
er stands in the box. The umpire
stands behind the batter and gesticu
lates with great emphasis. On the
line are the "concliers," who wave
their hands in a delirium of baseball
frenzy. The umpire automatically
raises his hund. The batter, as if con
jured from tho depth*, slowly emerges
from a trapdoor at home plate and
takes position. A globe in the pitch
er's hand, denoting the ball, suddenly
flashes and the ball is in play. It goes
out, and then blazes iu the pitcher's
hand. Thus a "ball or "strike" is
noted. When tho ball is knocked out,
an electric lamp above tho field de
notes which direction it goes, and an
other flash on tho ground denotes
where It flashes de
note every move of TnS baiV twjJUl it
again reaches the pitcher's baud. The
batter, when tho ball is hit, scurries
off for tho first ling. If ho is out lie
drops through a trap door. If not, ho
continues around the circuit until he
reaches home or is put out. Every
play is called, A green flash denotes
a foul.
Tho wny tho figuros run, slide,
emorgo from nnd drop through tho
trapdoors is extremoly interesting,—

Chicago's Collapsed Fad.
Mnterial of whioh John Brown's

were made is now stacked up in a
couple of barns iu Chicago. It is a
very good thing indoed that the
amusement schemes which were re
sponsible for tho moving to this city
of tho two structures mentioned
failed. Neither building should have
been moved from tho original site,
which along gave it interest.
After tho failure of the several fool
ish plans of this sort originated before
tho World's Fair thero is reason to
hope that speculators have quito lost
their zeal for making sideshows of the

HUPrERED.

from (he Republican, Cnopfmtoten, JV. Y.
The |>ooplo. of tho present nre traveling a
pace that would surprise the good old wives
aud knlokcrbockcreil grandfather* of a huu
dred years ago. Things are not don" by de
grees or stages In these days, but with a never
ending rush aud hurry. In fact, this is the
great lending trait of the American people,
and it never falls to nttra"t tho attention of
other Nations.
ThU constant hurry aud ever present busi
ness pressure has not been without its effo?t
upon tho nerves of the raoo. and every year
witnesses tho increase of nervous disease.
Medical seienoe, however, has been keeping
abreast with the times, and from the very
demands made upon it thero have sprung
now departures and discoveries.
A reporter recently mot Mr. Philip O. Welt
ing, who Is President of tho Bnnk of Wor
cester. twl of the Toledo City Bank, of Tole
do, In., in tho handsome little town of Wor
cester among the hills of Otsego <'ounty, N.
Y., and conversation drifted to the present
topic. Mr. Weiting had been n sufferer from
locomotor ntaxia for twenty-five years, some
thing which none but those who have them
selves been afflicted by the disease can ap
preciate. Knowing that he had traveled fat
and wide In search of some beneilcinl treat
ment for his affliction, the reporter asked the
President to give some facts in his own case.
He responded willingly. ''Yes. I suffered
twenty-live years from locomotor ntaxia,"
Mr. Weiting said, "and during nil tlint time
I wns seeking somo relief. Well, I fouud It
in Dr. Williams' Pink Pill,'". Of course 1
have it yet. to some extent, but I'm feeling
better nnd my legs are stronger than ever
before. I never did have much faith ineithet
doctors or medicines, and my long siege of
suffering helped along this distrust in them.
Why, I could scarcely wnlk any distance at
ail, and could not stnud long without my
knees yielding beneath my own weight. A
person cannot conceive of the suffering such
a state brings upon the sufferer.
"I would goto Florida every year.and vis
ited almost every health rosort In the country.
1 went to the Sanitarium at lowa Falls, lowa,
nnd also the very best in Michigan, but they
didn't do me any good. Itookthe full course
of their baths and massage nnd rubbing,
without receiving the least benefit. I thought
I would have to give up all hope of ever
curing myself. Finally I heard a good deal
about Pink Pills through common report,
ami although, ns I said, I had no fnith In
medicines of liny kind, I wns induced to try
them. Well. I took several boxes without
deriving an v apparent beneilt.but was advised
to keep it up. So. when I went to Florida
timt jwr—mlUL- years ago this -u miner I
took a large quantity me. After some
months I stopped taking Mit my logs
had become so much stronger and mv ataxia
had been so moderated that. I could stand
and walk better than I hail doue for years.
py>k Pills did It. aud you can well imagine
how 1 feci toward them. They did what
nothing else could do."
During the entire interview Sir. Weiting
remained standing nnd evidently did not ex
perience the slightest discomfort, in spite of
the protracted period of his affliction. Al
though well along in years, he is still actively
engaged in llunncinl enterprises that necessi
tate a vast amount of mental and nervous
energy. Sullloo it to sny lie lacks neither,
but makes his Influence felt wherever he Is
known. Upsides being President of the Wor
cester linnk, Mr. Weiting is also President of
the Toledo City Bank, of Toledo, where his
advice and sound business policies are a con
troling element.
His commendation of Pink Pills came un
solicited. and with the sincerity of o .e who
feels what he says.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to tho'blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specille for troubles poculiarto fijpiftles. such
as suppressions, irregularities aud nil forms
of weakness. Thev build up tho blood, nnd
restoro (he glow of health to pule and sallow
cheeks. Iu men they effect n radical cure in
nil cases arising from mentnl worry, over
work or excesses of whatever nnture. Pink
Pills nre sold in boxes (never in loose bulk)
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 42.50, anil
may bo had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
