FORTUNES FOUND BY ACCIDENT.

"In the sure knowledge that man
doeos not turn to his bible until he Is
in the greatest distress, I have placed
$500 in notes between pages 141 and
142 Hamburg. 1879." This curiotiB
and welcome letter was found by a
Hamburg shopkeeper when, in dire
misfortune, he had determined to sell
the family bible that had been In his
possession for many years. Looking
through It before taking It out of the
house, he found the letter and bank
notes. At such a critical time a for
tune would not have been more wel
come. The shopkeeper had failed In
business, his wife had long been 111,
and,, consequently he was much in
debt. The discovery of over $60,000
was the result of a game at hide-and-seek.
Some children were playing
near the ruins of an old mansion in
the Canton of Argoore, Switzerland,
when one ot them, hiding from the
others, found a large box partially
burned. It was almost filled with
money, jewelry and other valuables.
The father, on behalf of the children,
claimed $5,000 aa a reward for their
find. His claim was contested, how
ever, and the Swiss courts eventually
awarded $500 to the children.

made to the attendant cruisers, St.

to reach port before nightfall, "Can

This answer was regarded as Imperti

JOHNSON AND B08WELL.
The Biographer a 8hrewd Man, Wro
Knew His Value.
It will be said, and truthfully said,
Bob well was a great artist. So in
deed he was, a superb artist and a
self-conscious one. Nohody knew bet
ter than he what a great subject good
luck had put in his way. He loved
Johnson with perfect sincerity, but he
also loved that James Boswell who
from his earlier days had been sim
ply devoured with anxiety for literary
fame. Boswell saw his way to write
a book the world would willingly let
die. But theao considerations fall al
together to reassure me; indeed, It is
Just these very considerations that
fill me with alarm. I am dreadfully
suspicious of great artists bent on im
mortality. Their one object, their
fixed and almost fierce determination,
Is to make a great and lasting Im
pression In the minds of men; and ta
do this they know, else were they no
artists, that they must make great
sacrifice they must leave some things
out they must put other things In
the color must not be too bright In
this place or too faint In that. Much
has to be sacrificed ere you can pro
duce either a great book or a great
picture. What If Jt Is the truth?
Suppose, after all, the Johnson we
know and love is, Indeed, only Bos
well's Johnson. Something, of course,
must be allowed to the Idlosyncracl s
of the biographer. Nobody sees any
thing in exactly the same light as Kn
ottier. Burke's Johnson, Levitt's John
son, were doubtless all different, each
from the other, and from Boswell's
Johnson.

I'rtintnsr the Apple Trees.
A writer In the Country Gentleman
fns: "It might be well to call atten
tion to the Importance of caring well
for tho apple trees. So far as my
dbsorvntlon extends the trees contain
far too much wood. Suppose that
your trees contain 1200 limbs, great
and small; each of these limbs or
twigs throws out a quantity of 'new
wood em-h year. The production of
this wood Is a constant drain upon the
parent stalk. We will supose that
400 of these limbs are lopped off and
If the same energy or vitality Is
hrenght to hear on tti remaining son
limbs the new wood thrown out will
reach a much higher state of perfec
tion. "The same rule will apply to the
fruit. Too many limbs furnish the
opportunity for nn excessive number
of buds, and with favorable conditions
you got too many blossoms, with the
result of far to ninny sets; and your
tree, uunhlo to sustain the great
drain upon it, yields a large number
of Inferior apples. With fewer limbs
you g.'-t a smnler number of apples,
but at the harvest you realize as many
in bulk, and these are merchantable
and will oomnmnd a much higher price
In any market."
Transplanting Xnreerv Stork,
Losses are apt to bo met with in
transplanting fruit trees from tho
nursery to the orchard. We often
notice that the trees have received
tome sharp set back the following
season. I well remember tho time
when it was generaly expected that
out of every lot thus transplanted, a
fair percentage of them would die an
another percentage would drag along
in an uncertain existence for several
years, then perhaps to die or prove
worthless, with a necessity for re
planting. However, as the requirements of
nursery tree s and the art of transplant
ing them hss becomo better under
stood, the percentage of loss has been
materially decreased. It Is now the
prevailing opinion that there need be
but littio Ions, in he near future, by
proper management. Of course this
means greater skill In transplanting
and greater care on tho part of the
shipper, as well as of tho receiver.
Many of these young nursery trees
arrive at their destination In poor
condition for planting. Many times
this is due to the fault of the ship
pers. However, until both the nursery
men and the transportation compa
nies can be made to do better, the
purchaser must try to make up for
their ignorance or carelessnes by
careful transplanting and after treat
ment. A. E. Taught, In American Cul
tivator. The Spread of Glanders.
Glanders is caused by a special germ
which usually gains entrance into the
body through the drinking water. A
horse affected with glanders generally
has a discharge from the nose. In
drinking, this discharge gets into the
water and Is taken up by another
horse In drinking and thus becomes
exposed and liable to develop the dis
ease. The disease may show itself in
a few days or It may take months, de
pending on the condition of the system
of the animal.
Other modes of contamination aro
through the bedding, blonkets, curry
combs, brushes, feeds, etc. llorae
owners should know for their own pro
tection some of the symptoms point
ing to this disease, In order to secure
the services of Borms competent vet
erinarian. As a rule there is a dis
charge from the nose in tne so-callod
glanders, the animal is more or less
thin, the coat Is rough, as it l:i
termed and there is a swelling of tho
glands between tho lower Jaws. Thcoo
symptoms often occur In other dis
eases so that a veterinarian 'should be
Vailed to discriminate between the
diseases. Other symptoms arc pres
ent only of interest to the experienced
veterinarian. In so-called Farcy, little
swellings appear in different parts o'f
the body and often break open and
discharge a peculiar kind of pus. To
prevent the spread of such a disease
is very Important to horse owners. It
can be done . by having your horses
examined occasionally, and especially
if any suspicious symptoms present
themselves. Southwestern Farmer.
The Vegetable Oarrien.
Cut down asparagus when half with
ered. Clean up tho bed with a hoe,
spading Is Injurious, and apply a
four-Inch coat of half-rotten manure.
Beets should be taken up before hard
frosts, the leaves cut an Inch from the
crown, then stored In sand or dry
earth In a cool cellar or in pits. A gooj
way to blanch celery Is to lift tha
plants from tho ground, leaving a
little soil adhering to the roots. Take
common flour barrels, put about two
Inches of sand In the bottom, and on
this place your celery in an upright
position, one layer to a barrel. Put in
a cool cellar, cover it with a blanket
and in six weeks tho celery will bo
bleached to the tips. If at any time It
seems to be too dry sprinkle lightly.
Cabbage plants sowed In Septem
ber should be pricked into colt)
frames, putting about 600 to a 3x5
sash, setting the plants rather Jeep.
Frames for this, made of rough
boards, are eight Inches high In front,
and a foot at the rear, with cross raft
era and cl-jats to support and fit close,

In a dry cool cellar. Endive should
be bleached when the growth Is well
along, by gathering tip the leaves
and tying at the top. Blanching ends

sown In a well protected place this
month, and covered through winter
will give early plants In the spring.
Potatoes should bo well dried, but not
unnecessarily exposed to light, ever
for one day, before storing In perfectly
dark bins, not over three feet deep.
Tumpklns and squashes require for
winter a cool dry place, secure from
frost, a cellar In some respects per
haps being better than a house. F. H.
Sweet, In The Kpltomlst.
I'rlvate lalr.vlnc Creamerlfta.
At the recent Vermont Dairymen's
association, John Ft. Condon said he
believed that Vermont farmers should
avoid creameries, make their own
butter and sell it direct to the con
sumer, nl order to do that one must
he so situated that he can make a
first class butter In quantity and qunl
Ity the year round. Probably not
one-fourth of the farmers are thus
fortunate, and the majority of those
are now doing that and are or should
make butter of a higher quality than
most of tho creameries. They have
everything In their control, while
much of the .milk and cream when
taken to the creamery Is oft quality
by being kept long or from other
causes.
J. C. Sherburne of North Pomfret
advocates absolute cleanliness In the
dairy, stable and the food of the cow.
I would add also In feeding. There
are some things that tf fed Just before
milking will taint the milk, but if fed
soon after milking, will have no bad
effect. I believe that silage should be
fed soon after milking and cottonseed
on gluten, and in fact, all other by
products except bran, should be fed
with It. I think creamery managers
and patrons are not zealous enough In
having done and doing everything the
best way to make the nicest butter
that can be made, yet I believe the
creamery Is a great benefit to the or
dinary farmer.
I again refer to Mr. Candon, where
he says; "the most profltnble way to
dispose of the skim milk Is to feed It
direct to the cows.' And why not? The
most essential element of food in it
is protein and that is what is lacking
In nearly ail the crops we raise, and
butter la worth three or four times
as much as pork or veal. I would
have my cows come In from Septem
ber 1 to December, winter no hogs,
unless a breeding sow, keep only calves
enough to supply the dairy and feed
the surplus milk right from the sep
arator to the cows during the fall and
winter at least. D. W. Farrand, In
American Agriculturist.
I raven tint lb Growth of Horns.
A common method now to do away
with the horns is to prevent their
growth by the use of chemicals on the
calf. This seems to have had Its be
ginning about the year 1800, and Imme
diately grew into favor. It 1b quickly
and easily done; It Is comparatively
painless, causes no nervous shock,
and it Is done at a time when tiere
is no milk flow to injure. The ordin
ary method is to uso a stick of caustic
soda or caustic potash when the but
ton or small horn can first be felt, clip
the hair from over tho button with a
pair of scissors, wet the end of the
stick of caustic with saliva, and rub
the skin over the horn vigorously. The
operation requires about two minutes.
The work can be done very easily by
one man; In fact, as easily as two can
do it. The best ago at which to per
form this operation is as soon as the
button of the young horn can bo felt
with tho finger. This Is usually when
the calf is nlnut a week old. But it
can be done with perfect success up
until the time the calf Is a month
old or even older. If the operator is'
careful to make a thorough applica
tion. It Is better to use the caustic on
the calves when they are young
enough to insure that the operation
will bo effective, and this age is from
three days to three weeks. As It
would savo time and material to oper
ate on a number.of calves at the same
time. It might be well to allow the
first calves to' reach the limit of age.
In our work at this station we have
used tho stick caustic potash or caus
tic soda entirely, and in its use we
necessarily handle it with care, never
allowing it to come In contact with the
fipger.as it has a burning or corroding
effect, and will take off the skin very
quickly. This can be prevented by
simply wrapping the end of the stick
in a piece of paper to serve as a
handle, in applying the caustic to
the head. It is well to not allow the
spot to become too molBt, as it will
run down the side of the bead, making
a sore, removing tho hair, and leav
ing a scaro that may show and then
there is danger of it running Into the
eye, which would certainly cause
blindness. It would be well to have
some water htantHng close, so that tho
caustic could be dipped into it a
couple of times during the application.
In using tho caustic, thorough rub
bing is necessary and Insufficient rub
bing has caused many failures. It is
well to rub until the skin over the
horn begins to look red, as though the
blood were about to start This will
take from 15 seconds to one-half min
ute to each horn. Buletln No, 7b,

Health will come with all Ha blessings to those who know the way, and It la mainly a ques
tion of rlg-nt-llvlngr, with all the term implies, bnt the efforts which strengthen the system,
the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are Important, each In a way, while It Is
also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from nnsanl
tary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it Is all Important that tho
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy
which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is Syrup of Figs manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co.
With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical Ills are of a transient char
acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to
the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con
stipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from tho aches and
pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of
any organic trouble It Is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative Is required
remember that tho most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with '
tho bonciiclal effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty
cents per bottle.
Tho excellence of Syrup of Figs conies from the beneficial effects of the plants nsed In tho
combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and
uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. Ail tho members of tho family
from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use It whenever a laxative is needed and
share alike in Its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is tho only remedy of
known value, but It possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that It acts gently
and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it Is free from every ob
jectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects It Is always necessary to buy the
genuine and the fall name of the Co. California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every
package.
