The fall is the time to plant trees, so that persons who are willing to experiment according to the Tree-Planting association's sugges- tions should make their arrangements at once. “I DO MY OWN WORK.” So Says Mrs. Mary Rochiette of Linden, New Jersey, in this Letter to Mrs. Pinkham.* «J was bothered with a flow which would be quite annoying at times, and at others would almost stop. «J used prescriptions given me by my physician, but the : same state of affairs continued. ¢“ After a A time I was taken with a flooding, \{ik4 that I was gj obliged to keep mybed. ° Finally, in despair, 1 gave up my doc- tor, and began taking your medi- cine, and have certainly been greatly benefited by its usg “Lydia E.

Tho main object of pruning ctirrant bushes is to properly develop every portion of the plant. To obtain this, it is necessary to cut out occasionally the old wood and shorten the most vigorous of the young growth. One: half dozen large vigorous shoots will give more and larger fruit than twice that number of weak and immature ones. Value of Concentrating Manure. Concentrating the manure on a small area may appear as a waste, but re- sults have always been in favor of so doing. The Massachusetts Board of Agriculture calls attention to the fact that the keeper of a livery stable ap- plied the manure from fifteen horses on an acre and a half of land for sev: eral years and harvested two and three crops of hay each year, the aggregate being seven and a half tons each sea- son, or more than three times as much as the land would have produced with- out such treatment. Milk and Meat For Poultry. The impression is more or less general that milk, either pure or skimmed, will take the place of meat in the poultry ration. = Wkile no one will question the value of milk as a poultry food it should be remembered that it contains, but ten per cent. of solids after it is skimmed, as against eighty-nine per cent. ot solids in meat, of which four per cent. is mineral matter absolutely essential to egg production. = In the consumption of milk in place of meat the fowl is compelled to. drink too much water contained therein in order to obtain the required solids. When milk is fed in connection with meat we have | I { the continent, | ital making a most profit- | able feeding.

Use and Cost of Land Plaster. places where the rock suitable for i it from is abundant: It is there, too, that it appears to do most good, probably in part because the gypsum rock has always énough holes through it to make good drainage. There is no use putting plaster on land that is most of the year full of water. Its best effect is always found on light and dry soils, for one of the properties of plaster is to attract moistare, yhich such. soil usually needs. We have known plaster sold at the mills as low as $2 per ton in winter when most of the rock grinding is done. Ten or fifteen miles away and in summer, when farmers want tb use it far crops, the price would jump up to $4.50 and 85 per ton. So those who used.much | plaster’ during a rua of, good sleighing, when they would sometimes draw two tons or more on a lead.

Teeflling Cattle For Market, All who are interested have doubt- | less noticed the fact that the market | now furnishes only the small or medium sized animals. The heavy steer and the fat hog are rarely seen. The mar- | ket demands the small animals, for | consumers have learned that the flesh is more tender and juicy than in large animals. Heifer beef is taking the place of stegr beef, for the former, equally well fattened at the same age, is of much better quality. It is a fact worthy of record that the producer fought for along time against this demand for young market stock, especially in beef. The demand had to be met or no sale, so he swallowed his choler and has now discovered the | astounding fact that he can make a | pound of meat cheaper and of better | quality on the young animal than the older one, and that when the animal gets beyond a certain weight feeding cannot be continued profitably. Thus it is certain that the pre-conceived ideas are being daily upset and often times, as in this case, forced changes are made contrary to out better judg- | ment only to find later that had they | taken place sooner we would have been money in pocket. ¥eeping Egzs For Winter. T have tried many different methos of packing eggs, but have found that keeping them in brine is more satis- factory than any method of dry pack- ing that I have had any experience with. TI use jars in which to keep the brine, although kegs or any water- tight vessels will answer the purpose. "The recipe for making the brine is as follows: 'I'o three gallons of water, half « : pint of water-slacked lime, the consistency of thick cream, one pint of common salt. Stir until both lime and salt are dissolved; then drop the eggs carefully to prevent cracking, as a cracked egg will soon spoil. and The eggs must sink gently, not | rapidly, and must almost float, but if they float on the top the brine is too strong and more water can bs added. Eggs must be entirely fresh and each day's supply deposited in the brine as soon as gathered. If these directions are followed eggs will be fresh in ap- pearance and quality after being in the brine a year. Of course, a fresh-laid egg 1s preferable for table use or cake icing to any packed ezz, but there are many ways of using eggs in which a packed egg answers equally as well, and there is a time in the life of a hen, when moulting, that she does not seem to have the interest of the housewife at heart, but is looking after her own comfort. Eggs then become scarco and high and a store of packed ones from which to draw is very acceptable. —Rural World. at | small | but the best is lean meat | | with the bone, the latter run through : Land plaster is sold very cheaply in | | with the question: | Ten days later { from her { hold both | transatlantic mother with her | turned 18. i took the helm of affairs, and she at- i tended the wedding of her two daugh- generally went. with sleighs | of SOMEHOW AND SOMEWHERE AMONG THE MUSCLES AND JOINTS The Pains and Aches of RHEUMATISM St. Jacobs Oil Right on its track It Penetratas, Searches, Drives Out.

The requisite articles for preserv- ing and canning fruits and other food stuffs are a granite kettle holding about eight quarts, a small knife with pointed tip for paring, a silver, a wire and a wooden spoon, a hair sieve, a colander, scales for weighing, a pint cup for measuring, a fruit squeezer, a wooden masher, a good supply of cheesecloth and cotton and wool fian- nel, two sizes of jelly glasses, pintand quart glass jars and a large-mouthed funnel.

A New Idea in Closcts. The closet is always the treasure- trove of the room, yet how frequently is it the most confused and rage-pro- voking of all places—simply because there is no system or economy of space exercised therein. The modern house, which is supplied with elec- | tricity for lighting, is indeed badly | overlooked if there is not a drop-light in every closet. How much provok- ing rummaging it saves, and how aice and orderly is the arrangement when one has bright light for an assistance. A well-planned house--because de- signed by a woman, and women know the value of closet space--has aroomy-. closet in every sleeping room. One end has shelves extending from the ceiling and almost to the floor. These are for baxes of every class, for mil- linery, and all the fixings of the toilet which requjre a careful putting away. ‘The loyer Space below the shelves is for shoes, and has a small spring door to close it in, for strive as one may, somehow closet floors will get dusty, | and it is a nuisance to have to wipe off | one’s boots e¢ery time they are put on. The remaining end has two strong narrow beams run across So that two rows of garments, instead of one, may hang, and these have drop hooks setat regular intervals. At the back a piece of coarse unbleached: muslin is secured to the wall, and left long enough.to reach around: and cover the clothes that are hung there, thus completely covering them from dust.

Queen Victoria's journeys are very serious and carefully arranged under- takings, and each person traveling with her is allotted a definite place, in correct procedure; fifteen saloon and other carriages being necessary for the transportation of the court to Scotland, and the annual cost of the queen’s visits there amounting to about $25,000. Women are keenly competing with men in art and professional life in America, as is shown by recent statis- tics.
