When the stomach is in state of chronic re-
bellion against every kind of food. and the attend
ing physician with solemn and portentous gravity
declares that such cases of confirmed dyspepsia
defy all remedies do not put faith in his i1se dira
Indigestion of this obstinate character may be in
durable by his prescriptions, but il is not therefore
an irremovable fixture in the system. The fact Is
that the great vegetable invigorant and corrective
Hostetter's Stomach Biters, is radically curing
of this seemingly desperate nature every
day. Indeed it is in those malignant phases OF
dyspepsia which no ordinary medicine can control
that its remedial properties are most wonderfully
manifested. We say TO the long suffering martyr
whose stomach is a source of perpetual torment to
him. that by the persistent and daily of thi>
glorious tonic. he not only the digestive
organs 10 their full vigor. but can keep them in
good working order through life. If there is CON
stipation. the gentle aperient operation of the
Bitters will remove all distractions and keep the
bowels in a regular and healthy condition. The
grand CHARACTERISTIC of this WALKING and purifying
vegetable preparation is that il acts beneficially
upon every organ controlling the liver reinforcing
the nerves, toning the coats of the stomach. pro
noting healthy habit of body, relieving the
blood of all impurities clearing the brain and
reyiving the spirits.

ADDING Poison TO PoIsON.-Therc is
no disease in which the blood is not more
or less impregnated with unwholesome
matter and the direct inevitable effect of
all preparations containing spirituous cN-
citants is TO increase the volume Of poison

prolong the malady. Hence ii is that dys-
pepsia, bilious fever, cholera morbus, lung
complaints, govt, dropsy, rheumatism,
nervous disorders, and eases of general

are frequently rendered chronic and dan

CarbOlic Soap for Insects.

A FEW days since / tried an experiment
with carbolic soap in killing insects upon
greenhouse plants, particularly the green
fly, dphis, which, as everybody knows, is Il
great pest, and one not readily destroyed,
except by fumigating with tobacco, not IA
very agreeable operation to perform upon
parlor plants, or in conservatory attach
ed to dwelling. My first experiment
with this soap was a decided success.
operating upon 200 roses just in bloom,
and it was conducted as follows Into a
pail of warm water put lump of soap
the size of small hens egg. The soap
was cut up into small pieces, and the
water agitated until it was all dissolved,
forming warm suds. The water should
not be too hot, but if not above 1903 or
thereabout, it will do no harm. Into this
suds each rosebush was plunged, holding
the pot inverted in the hand, and kept
there about half a minute. After plung-
ing, the plants were set aside for IL few
minutes, then dipped in Me same way in
to clean water, shaking them about, thor
oughly washing the leaves, and then re-
turned to their former place in the house.
Whether it was the soap or warm water
that killed the green fly | will not say, but
there is one thing certain, they are all
dead.-Cor RuiuL Ne,c YORKER.

are plentiful a man can usually enhance
the value of land by planting merely or
namental species of fruit trees, and it
usually proves to be a very profitable in
vestment
In planting trees of all kinds there are
certain rules and conditions that should be
remembered and practiced.
1. Plant early, before the spring rains are
over and the soil settled and dry There
is little danger of doing this work too
early provided tie soil is in u condition to
handle readily
?. In removing trees, either large or
small, more or less roots will he cut off or
broken; consequently a corresponding
number of the branches should he re
moved or shortened. 1t is always safe to
give the roots the advantage by reducing
the branches, leaving less top than root;
especially with deciduous trees.
3. In removing trees like the maple,
birch, and similar kinds, from which the
sap flows freely from wounds made on
stem or branches in spring, always dig up
and cut loose the roots from the soil before
pruning, because this prevents excessive
bleeding, as it is termed. Grape vines are
no exception to this rule, although many
persons think it will not do to prIne them
in spring, even if they are transplanted at
the time.
4. In planting always pack the soil
firmly above the roots of trees, and also
carefully fill up all interstices between
them.
). In removing trees from one place to
another, and during the operation of plant
ing, keep the roots moist and exclude
them as much as possible from drying
winds and the direct rays of the sun.
q. Arrange the roots in natural posi-
ton, descending from the stem outward,

Bees in the Spring.

As THE season approaches, it seems to
endow all nature with new life or zeal.
Bees are not slow to discover this, and will
have an earnest desire to come out on fine
days. The hives should be brought from
their winter quarters and set on the stands
on which you intend them to remain du-
ring the season. Now know how their
supplies are, and only feed in case of ne
cessity. If they have honey, which you
should know, they do not need feed. You
need to use much care in feeding; il is liza
BILE to induce robbing. 1t sometimes may
he necessary to feed but is not always the
surest way to success. If you find it nee
essary to feed, | would take the stock or
hive to closed room, and there feed it
enough 10 last several days, which they
will store in the combs, and then return
them TO the stand, keeping II good look
ont. In all bee management it is ncccs-
sary 10 see your bees often.
Now, as the season advances, the colo
MES will steadily be growing stronger.
Remember that the swarmine season is
advancing; have your hives made for the
