Tho Apple as a Timber Tree.
In some sections of this country tho
tipple tree is looked oil for its product
ns a piece of timber, ns well as a fruit
producing article. For this reason the
old-German fruit growers in the vicin
ity of Philadelphia, always aimed to
get a nice straight trunk to an apple
tree and train it up comparatively high
before allowing ir to form a head. .Mod
erns have supposed that the chief ob
ject to be gained by this method of
training was in order to facilitate
plowing operations, but the ultimate
end In having a good trunk for timber
purposes was not forgotten. In this
particular region, the wood was used
chiefly for shoemakers' lasts—a busi
ness which, iu the earlier history of
Philadelphia, did much to help the
trade of that famous manufacturing
center of population. The apple re
gions have mostly disappeared front
that vicinity: but other sections of the
country seem to understand the value
of apple tree wood. It is stated ill the
Country Gentleman that a. fruit grower
of Cayuga sold to a well-known linn of
saw makers of Philadelphia Dission
6c Sons—the trunks of some of their
trees, which were cut away because
the trees had grown too closely to
gether, to tin' value of sr>oo. In this
case, the wood was of course used for
tho handle of saws.—Median's.
Why She Wanted a Continuance.
• An old lawyer once told about a case
he had, but which lie didn't keep.
An old Irishwoman sent for him in
great haste oue day. She wanted him
to meet her in the criminal court, lie
hastened to the court house all out of
breath. The woman's son was about to
be placed on trial for burglary. When
tho lawyer entered tlie court room the
old woman rushed up to him and in an
excited voice said:
"Mr. B , Oi want ye to git a con
tinyance for me b'y .Timmie."
"Very well, madam," replied the law
yer. "I will do so if 1 can, hut it will
be necessary to present to the court
some grounds for a continuance. What
shall I say V"
"Shure, ye can jist tell the court oi
want a contiuyance till oi can get a
better lawyer to try the case."
The lawyer nearly fainted when lie
heard this, and after telling the woman
that site would have to get another law
yer to get tlie continuance he hurried
back to his oflico a very angry man.
Deep Breathing.
Cultivate the habit, of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breaths. If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary af
fections would be decreased one-half.
An English physician calls attention to
this fact, that deep and forced respira
tions will keep tlie entire body in a
glow in tlie coldest weather, no matter
uow thinly one may be clad. He was
rdmself half frozen to death one night,
and began taking deep breaths and
keeping the air in ids lungs as long as
possible. The result was that he was
thoroughly comfortable in a few min
utes. The deep respirations, lie says,
stimulate the blood currents by direct
muscular exertion, and cause tho en
tire system to become pervaded with
:he rapidly-genera led beat. Medical

DAIRYING HANDBOOK OF VALUE.
Bulletin No. 19 of the South Carolina
•Stat ion is designed to show the possi
bilities of tho dairy business under
tho conditions which prevail in the
South. In its directions how to select
and breed cows it epitomizes the
knowledge gained by experiment at
different stations throughout the coun
try. The value of different feeds and
the best and most economical methods
of using them arc given in the bulletin,
which also treats of stables and fasten
ings, milk and milking, cream and
butter, cheese-making, dairy by-pro
duct?, etc. It is a simple, concise and
eminently practical handbook which
possesses considerable value and must
prove of assistance to the farmer who
is noxious io engage in some line of
production that promises more re
muneration than cotton-growing.
USES TOR POTATO TOPS,
Since the fungus nature of potato
rot has becomo known, farmers arc
less inclined to draw their potato tops
to tho barn yard than they used to be.
No quicker way of spreading the
fungus can be devised than mixing it
uitli fermenting manure. Neither
should cattle be fed the rotten pota
toes from the cellar during the winter.
Some of the worst affected pieces will
be rejected by the cow and be thrown
into the manure pile. Tho potato
stalks often arc affected by the fungus
when it does not reach tho potato
tubers. But the potato top has valu
able mauurial properties audit should
not bo wasted. It is very rich in
potash, and as it rots very quickly, it
makes the best covering lor straw
berry plants late in the fall. The
vines will bo rotted down early in the
spring, and will not need to bo re
moved. Tliey will furnish sufficient
protection in winter without danger
of smothering the strawberry plants,
and iu spring will make a rich mulch
that will help the growth of the berry
crop.—Boston Cultivator.
PREPARING FOR THE WINTER DAIRY.
Don't be guilty of tlie carelessness
or unbusincss-liko thoughtlessness of
having cows served now or during the
next three months so they will come
in during the flush of feed and flood
of milk. Neither cream nor butter
brings so much then, and is really
difficult to dispose of. If the cows
rest any time, let theni rest then
(while farm work is driving), and
calve in July, August or September.
Coming iu at this timo they will give
more milk thau they would otherwise
do when milk and all dairy products
are high, and more nearly equalize the
work of tho year. Some foolishly
fear it will be impossible to get the
cows with calf if service is delayed,
but this proved to be a fallacy. The
cow's condition should be watched
and she should be treated patiently
while in season, but tho time when
she is next to calve may be controlled
ns most things in business life. Na
ture calls for ninety per cent, of the
calves in spring, when even a calf will
scarcely sell because there nrcsomany
of them. But the sensible farmer
does not always let nature dominate.
He has the market and other artificial
conditions to meet, andmust cultivate
fresh cows at tho periods of greatest
profit.—New England Homestead.
TICKING AND MARKETING THIC QUINCE.
The error of many growers is the
time of picking and the manner of
handling. As quinces do not blow off
like apples or pears, many growers
pick when convenient and that may be
only ufter they have becomo yollow.
An experience of years in growing,
buying and shipping quinces causes
tho writer to believe there is a right
time to pick ; that two days before the
time is too curly, and two days after
that right time is too late for the good
of the fruit. A little too early, the
fruit is not well colored and it does
not present its best appearance in
market; a little too late, especially if
the weather be warm, and it is over
ripe, and it is just then that black
spot, where it exists, gets in its work
rapidly.
People arc cautioned, over and over
again to handle fruit carefully, and
this applies more to quinces than to
any other fruit. A slight bruise, from
dropping into tho basket or turning
into tho barrel, in loity-eight hours
has become an ill-looking brown
patch. Black packing in tho barrel is
disastrous, for Truit carelessly put up
this way will hardly bring freight
charges. The moving about of speci
mens during transit, perhaps for hun
dreds of miles, is ruination to the
whole package. Another thing to be
observed is to pack and ship at once,
or as soon as they are taken from the
bushes.
Tho writer's own quinces, while no
better than many others, have for
many years sold for from fifty cents to
a dollar pel barrel more than average
quinces on account of the care iu pick
ing and packing which made them
show well in market. Tho proverbial
"handle like eggs" applies very much
to tho marketing of quinces.—Ameri-
can Agriculturist.
CATTLE RAISING.
In cattle raising much of the profit
depends upon tho ekill of the feeder
and the maturity of tho breed, two
points that were formerly never con
sidered. Feeding theu consisted in
supplying the animal with sufficient
fcod to keep him alive and to fatten
] him if necessary. The quality of the
x food was not generally considered,
. | nor was there much trouble taken to
. find out whether it was a suitable
> ; ration. The question of early ma-
I i turity was never raised, because un*
} j known, the common stock of tho coun
\ try always maturing late.
. ; All this is now altered. The various
I • kinds of feed and the best methods of
j ! using them have become favorite sub
jects for discussion and disagreement.
. while the experiment stations, with
I their innumerable tables and formulas
. I by which to construct a "well-balunced
j ration" add greatly to the general cn
, lighteument and sometimes to tho
t general bewilderment, for feeding is
, not and cannot lie an exact science,
f because tho matter of price is one of
. the prime factors iu the calculation
> how to produce the greatest amount
l at the least possible cost. This is just
I where the skill of the feeder comes in,
1 and this is where experience counts.
, , He has learned the cheapest kinds of
feed in his locality and tho propor
tions in which to mix them, and ho
( 1 knows whether it is best to produce or
purchase them. He lias also'realized
. the value of variety in the feed.
Tho introduction of the improved
■ breeds lias brought up tho question of
I • early maturity, with which wc arc all
now familiar. Tho quicker the stock
can bo fitted for market the greater
the profit. Early maturity means tho
largest proportion of muscle or lean
meat for tho least food eaten, as well
I as the attainment of this condition at
the earliest possible age. All growth
t j is made from what is eateu in excess
I of the amount necessary to support
| life, and the quicker it reaches tho
stage best fitted for food not only will
[ it have cost less per pound, but it will
t have developed the tenderest and tho
' largest amount of lean meat. These
two factors are tho prime considera
j tiousof the cousumer, and the feeder
„ who caters to them receives the larg
est returns for his work. This is so
well recognized that all progressive
cattlemen now feed off* as early as pos
sible.—New York World.
GOOD HOGS VALUABLE.
1 It is difficult for some farmers to
appreciate the true value of good hogs
for breeding purposes. This is true
1 as much in the ranks of the well-to-do
stock feeders as it is amoug tho poorer
1 gran grower?, who tremble to think
, of investing a cent beyond the iutriu
| sic pork value of breeding swine,
i In the case of a brood sow, that lias
tlie fattening quality, which all im
! proved hogs should have, that trans
mitted to tho offspring furnishes a lit
ter of half a dozen with the capacity
of early maturity, the superiority
should be easily noted. The pig that
grows and fattens at 250 days of age
into 250 pounds weight at a total of
food equivalent to but four-fifths of
tho amount fed to an ordinary "good
pig," is surely worth searching for.
The improved swiue of the country
comprise a good proportion of vigor
ous feeder and with disposition to ap
propriate their food to their growth
and the storing away of fat us well as
flesh.
I With right selection, by tho exer
, cißo of proper judgment, tho hog
breeders may produce from a single
litter of thoroughbred pigs one-fourth
more pork, to say the least, than
from tho same number of the com
mon sort. The pork, too, sells uuder
all conditions lor fully one-tenth
, more per pound. These results follow,
as a rule, 11: o use of a good sire, and
with due diligence in procuring tho
; best high grade or pure bred dams, a
j better showing can be made.
Six litters ordinarily furnish thirty
substantial pigs. On the basis of 250
pounds weight at eight months, and
one-fiflh of this us the result of using
a pure bred sire, wo should have to
his credit fifty pounds per head, or
for thirty pigs in growth into ma
turity 1500 pounds additional of pork,
worth ordinarily $1 per hundred in
the farmer's yard, thus placing to the
credit of the improved sire alone SOO.
Added to this conservative estimate
1 the gaiu which would accrue were
both sire and dams of the highest or
. der, and SIOO would bo a moderate
• limit to place on tho increased value
| of the exercise of brains, and diligent
, care to get tho best, and to do the
i best in every way on each lot of a
| half dozen sows, bred in the modern
j methods of wide-awake, thinking
j farmers,
' Of course, the averago farmer will
attain the above results on twice the
number of litters, if lie exercises or*
nary care. The ordinary increased
| value of a boar for such results is but
sls. Where sixty mature hogs are
grown from tlie use of a good sire, the
profit ou this $25 sire (allowing $lO
; lor commercial value) where but a
; speculation of sls is made amounts to
eight times, or on but thirty pigs four
times tho sum ventured. The profit
: net on tho thirty pigs, $45, will ordi
narily pay all the taxes and more on
the average farm. It will also pay for
, more than one aero of the average
farm. It thus follows that it pays to
think about the hogs. It is more im
portant still to act promptly, and se
cure good breeding stock before the
season is passed for selecting tho
best.—Farm, Field and Fireside.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIItS.
A NEW CANNING APPARATUS.
A new canning apparatus that is
finding much fnvor with tho house
keepers, nnd with teachers of cooking,
lias a fiat vessel somewhat like a low
tin box, into which are fitted one, two,
three, or four cylinders, according to
the size of tho apparatus bought.
These cylinders aro each provided
with a pntent cover, with a handle.
The fruit is placed at once in the glass
jar, nnd set inside the cylinder, where
it is cooked by steam. Tho box in
which the cylinders are placed is filled
with water, and has at the side a steam
whistle and combiuod filter, It is
oluimcd for the fruit preserved in this
way that tho forcing of the steam into
the contents of the jnr, thus driving
out tho air, kills all bacteria, and
gives tho fruit a much more natural
Havor thau that cooked] from tho bot
tom in an ordinnry preserving kgttle.
As the fruit is quickly cooked whilo it
is covered, and is sealed as soon as
cooked, there is no opportunity for it
to lose its aroma. Little time is con
sumed, as the fruit has oDly to be
handled onee, and in the case of very
soft fruits thoy do not lose their shape
by handling several times. Vege
tables ore also easily canned by this
process, and with a better flavor and
more likelihood of keeping than by
the old way. The apparatus can be
used over gas, oil or coal stoves. The
water and sugar added to different
fruits are heated to tho boiling poiut,
skimmed, and poured over the fruit
after it is paoked in the jars, and just
before steaming.—New York Post.
BULKS OP PICKLING AND RECIPES.
Use uono but tho best vinegar nnd
boil in a porcelain kettle, never in
metal. It is bost not to boil tho vin
egar, as in this way it is weakened;
bring it only to the scalding point be
fore pouring it over the pickles. A
lump of alum tho size of a small nut
meg scalded with the cucumber or
gherkin pickles makes thejn crisp aud
tender, but too much is injurious.
Pickles should be kept in a dry, cool
collar, in glass or stoneware; look nt
them frequently nnd remove all tho
soft ones. If white specks appear in
the vinegar, drain off aud seald, add
ing a handful of sugar to each gallon,
and pour again over the pickles. Keep
pickles from tho air and see that the
vinegar is at least two inches over tho
top of pickles in the jar. A dry,
wooden spoon or ladle should bo usod
in handling pickles aud is tho only
one that should touch them iu tho
jars. Pickles are not noted for whole
somo qualities, but if they must bo
eaten it is best to raako them at home.
Sweet Pickled Cucumbers—Prepare
and quarter ripo cucumbers, take out
seeds, clean, lay in brino (that will
float an egg) for nine days, stirring
every day, take out and put iu clean
water one day; lay in alum water
overnight; make syrup of one jiiut
good vinegar, one pouud brown su
gar, two tablespoonfuls each broken
cinnamon bark, mace and pepper;
make syrup of three pints sugar to
one quart vinegar enough to cover the
slices, lay them in and cook till ten
der.
Citron Pickle—Cut your melon in
pieces nnd boil in salted water until
tender, then drain nnd add three
quarts vinegar, two pounds sugar aud
ouo-half pound cassia buds. Boil live
minutes. Ripe cucumbers or water
melon rinds will do as well as tho
citron molon.
Small Cuoumber Pickles—Wash and
wipe 100 small cucumbers aud placo
thorn injurs; cover them with boiliug
brine strong enough to float nn egg,
let stand twenty-four hours. Then
take them out, wipe, and.place in
olean jars and cover with hot vinegar
spiced with onion, twelvo whole
cloves, one ounce mustard seed and
three blades of mace. They will bo
ready for use in two weeks.
Cucumber Catsup—Grate tho cu
enmbers and strain oft' the water
through a colauder. Add six largo
onions chopped fine to one gallou of
the grated and strained cucumbers.
Add vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper and
horse radish to taste. Bottle without
cooking.
Pyfer Pickles—Halt pickles down
dry for ten days, soak in fresh water
one day, pour off water, place in por
celain lccttle, cover with water aud
vinegar nnd add ono teaspoon pulver
ized alum to each gallon. Place ono
night on stove which had fire in dur
ing day, wash aud put iu jar with
oloves, allspico, pepper, horse radish
and onions or garlic, boil fresh vin
egar and pour over all. In two weeks
they will be ready for use. These
pickles are always fresh and crisp aud
aro made much more easily than in
tho old fashioned way by keeping in
brine.
Piokled Onions—Pour boiling brine
over the small button onions, let them
stand twenty-four hours, then drain
and cover with hot vinegar spiced to
taste.
Chowchow—One largo head red
cabbage, large cauliflower, two quarts
each very small string beans, green
tomatoes, cucumbers and onions ; cut
cabbage into quarters nnd remove the
core, then shave iu very thin slices,
break up the cauliflower into flower
ets but leave all others whole. Mix
together thoroughly and add one pint
tine salt and lot stand over night.
Pickled Cabbage—Cut the size you
wish, put in boiling water with a little
salt, boil twenty minutes, drain and
place in jar, Spice vinegar to taste,
heat and pour on the cabbage.—New
