Tue drug houses Of Peoria are doing as

lately established itself in two new and
splendid structures, each three stories high,
and each 20 by l2O feet in size They are
fitted up with q special view to the rapid

Two large cellars extend under the entire
building, opening out on level with the
alley in the rear. One Of the cellars Is De

goods. No carbon oil, bsnzine or o'ne
dangerous fluids are kept in the store. Ihe
firm design, as soon as the weather will per

Of all such goods. The other cellar is set
apart for the storage Of dye stuis, pants,
etc. A small cellar is portioned of, de-
voted to liquors, and another for sponges.
The furnace room contains lard, castor and
sweet oils, which require to be kept warm
in order to be drawn. All goods are taken
10 direct from the dray in the rear Of the
building.
The assortment of drugs, chemicals, cos

name, have been 10 business in Peoria for
ten years. They started in the building al

which was then deemed ample for the ae-
commodaiiou OF any drug house in Peoria
Being young men of excellent business hab'

they soon built up trade that compelled
them TO rent warehouse in addition to

Did it ever occur to you as you SIT
iuwu - your comfortable dinner or
tea. that great many of the things
which compose it were wholly un.
known to the people hundred or two
years ago? We eat our potatoes, for
instance, and think nothing about it,
but here is what an English writer
a hundred years ago says about the
matter:
This root incre ases prodigiously, and
is very proper for feeding and fattening
cattle. They are boiled in water, and
require but little boiling, though they
may have been kept two months in
the store. Cattle eat them raw, but
fol the table they are wholesome boil
ed. | earnestly recommend the cul-
ture of this plant to husbandmen, as it
is not only excellent food for cattle,
but good for man in years of scarcity.
After little use, the taste becomes at
least as agreeable as turnips, and par
ticularly if the potatoes are boiled with
bacon and salt pork.
II is also said that Sir Walter Rail
eigh, who first introduced them from
South America into England, suppos.
ed it was the seeds which were to be
eaten, and after boiling quantity Of
them was quite disgusted at their
insipidi'y. 1t was only by accident

Transplanting Evergreens.


Many persons, even in this day of
progress, imagine that in the trans
planting of evergreens it is much safer
and more certain Of successful results
earth, and hence many novices yet
continue to spend labor and unnecess-
arily, in mid winter, transplanting
evergreens with large frozen balls of
earth attached. All this because of
old time ignorance, causing a great
amount of useless labor without insur-
ing any success. For years we have
removed evergreen trees, varying in
size from two up to thirty feet high,
at any time from April to the last of
June, and then again from the first of
September to the last of October, aud
our practice has been to pay little or
no attention to the ball, but in digging
the tree to save as many of the roots
AS possible, and never to permit them
to become dry.
All that needs primarily to insure
| ""oaaas in transplanting eYergreens. is
to keep the roots all the time moist.
One hour of full exposure to drying
wind is almost certain death, as all
| tho raoto of cvergiccns havc upon
their surface a resinous compound,
which the atmosphere dries very
quick. and when once dried, insolu-
ble in water. Remember, then, ye
who transplant evergreens, that the
systematic process of labor, belong
ing to the transplanting of any trees
lies in never permitting the roots to
drying wind or sun.
