THOROUGH preparation Of the soil and
clean culture always pay in any locality
with the commonest farm crops. In the
orchard, proper preparation of the soil
before planting is especially needed, and
in the garden, not only thorough prepare
ton of the Soil but subsequent good cul-
ture are absolutely necessary to success:
Take small fruits, the berries for in
stance; one man, by care and constant
working, will produce large and uniform
crops of strawberries, raspberries and
blackberries, while others, by the let-alone
process, never get enough fruit to pay
ground rent to say nothing of cultiva-
ton Strawberries are usually planted
out hap hazard, and allowed to take care
of themselves. This, if the soil be tolera.
able, they are pretty apt to do, and usually
cover the ground so thickly with runners
as to give small returns in fruit, while, it
little care and attention had been paid
to keeping the runners down, and the
plants confined to hills large stools would
have been formed, and full crop of ex-
ira berries would have been realized. So
with the other small fruits, as raspberries
and blackberries They should have
plenty of room The old wood of the
preceding year, already dead, should have
been cut out and the new wood topped to
three or four feet. This being done, we
should have stocky, branching canes,
loaded with fruit

will, and Overgrow the whole surface. of

by little judicious pruning they would
have been kept in shape and furnished
plenty Of new wood upon which to have
borne fruit. Grapes, on the other hand,
are allowed either to grow at will or else
they are pruned SO severely that nothing

or two canes, according to the strength of
the vine, pruned as to the laterals to three

In the spring all small fruits should be
gone over, the ground thoroughly cleaned,

cry that small fruits don't pay There is

that will pay better, so far at least as the
wants of the family are concerned, than

fruits. All that is necessary is to give

and it will be found that the added CON-
fort to the family will pay a hundred per

A REMARKABLE PROGRESS.
From the Hartford Daily 7ymes.l

From the Hartford Daily Times
We have already alluded to the prosperous condi-
ton of the Phoenix Life Insurance Company, located
in this city, of which Edison Fessenden Is the Presi
dent and James F. Burns Secretary. A more careful
Investigation Of its last annual statement just pub
lished warrants In submitting to the readers Of
the Times some further remarks upon its rapid pro-
grsss to popular favor and its remarkably prosper.
GUS condition at the present time.
Let Ms compare its condition ten years ago with
what It Is at the present time. In the years 1852 and
1868 1t issued LIT policies its income was &i25672;
dividends, 81 Pa losses by death. $5s,60O; assets,
S4S7 $685. Here was the business of two years.
In 1872 it issued 1857 policies its income was s..
413, 75245; dividends ss4s,441.1; losses by death
1881 1862; net assets. $S ,1O9,325.T.
This increase Of business and assets In the short
period Of ten years is worthy Of special notice. An
income in 1872 Of near $3y5OO00 against $l256T In
1852 and 1868; it is near thirty to one. Over ten
thousand policies last year against seventeen hun
dred in two years. only ten years ago. Its net assets
amount to over eight millions now; then less than
half milliOn-more than sixteen to one. This won
derful increase is not the result OF single jump.
It comes of regular yearly advances showing the
solidity and permanency Of this signal prosperity.
Fer instance the net assets of the company at the
opening Of the year 1872 amounted to $750,6l45; at
the commencement of 1873 they were 1920. 507-an
increase during the year 1872 OF $SsS.6ll.V
The Phoenix has SO O20 policies insforce, cover
ing ST. slO,267. Valued by the New York standard
these policies are worth $6,6617, and other labili
ties carry its obligations up to g. 900 1881 Deduct
ing this from its net assets and the company has
surplus Of 81, 1898 $50.
The officers lay these facts before the public with
the assurance that they cannot be equaled In CON-
parative strength by the statement of any company
in New England If, indeed, by any in the country,
though few others have q larger aggregate OF as
SETS No company in this city equaed 1T last year in
the number Of policies issued Only one came within
1900 Of it, and the others were from 5000 to 5000 be-
low 1t. ~.
In this sterling dion of its finances in It's great
and Increasing prosperity and I'm the Arm hold 1t has
upon public confidence, the Phoenix may, with due
degree of pride and satisfaction publish the details
of its business and its solid condition.

THE only object in working butter is to
get out the buttermilk and afterward in
corporate the salt When then the churn-
ing is properly done and the butter comes
hard and close grained, but little working
is needed If water is used but little
washing is required. As to whether wash
ing is absolutely necessary is matter of
dispute among the best butter makers, and
fancy butter is made both with and with
out washing Our impression is that the
less washing as well as the less working,
the better, II the buttermilk is got out.
But it must be freed from buttermilk. or
nearly SO, if q fine-tlavored, bookkeeping
article is made, and it IL better, In our
judgment, to wash in pure cold WAFER than
to work the butter much. Bat we would
not use water much below sixty degrees for
washing, and by all means avoid bringing

ice in contact with the butter. In work
ing we would avoid as much as possible
ali rubbing or grinding motion. me ann
should be to keep the grain unbroken as
much as possible. We say nothing about
the best butter-worker, or the best method
of working. We aim more to discuss
principles, and leave their application 10
the Judgment of butter makers. But Dy
all means keep the hands out OF the but
ter. The heat from them Injuries the par
ticles that come in contact with the hano,
and through these hastens the decay OF
the whole batch. Besides it looks more
clearly, if 1t is not, to keep the hands out.
In cheese making we prefer not to have
the hands used much. A rake, care
fully used, we know by experience, IS bet
ter and easier to work than the hands.
Sailing is an important part of the pro-
cess of butter-making, but it is simple.
After the buttermilk is out, spread out the
mass and sprinkle over it from half an
ounce to an ounce of salt for each pound
of butter, and then thoroughly incorpor-
ate it with the batch. Do not leave 1t
to stand in streaks for second working.
Whatever else you may do, incorporate
the salt evenly at once and without delay.
If the butter is right, we think it is better
to do all the working at once, and pack it
down before you leave it. If you let it
stand, cover it up carefully. Keep it in
cool place--that is, at about the tempera-
ture of sixty degrees, and exclude the
light from It. Although you want the
light on your milk, to give color to the
cream, you do not want the light on your
butter. It now has different effect-it
bleaches out both the color and the taste.
This you can test by setting piece in the
window for few days. 1t will turn into
white and miserably tasting stuff. The
tops of tubs are often injured by the action
of the light and heat by the time they
reach a market-Utica Herald.

Summer Dangers.

The summer sunshine that clothes the earth with
luxuriant vegetation, evaporates vast amount OF
crude unwhoesome moisture from it's surface,
which, mingling with the air in the form Of me-
phitic gases, produces variety Of febrile and
other diseases. The body being debiitated by the
warmth of the season, and the pores being wide
open gaping as it were for the seeds Of sickness,
any infectious principle that may exist in the at
mosphere is readily received into the system, when
it bears baneful fruit in the shape Of malarious
fever biliousness darrhea, dysentery, collie, sick
ness at the stomach, headache, or nervous pros
traton In order to prevent these yisitations, put
the system In Q condition to resist all morbid in
fuences. Brace the inner man with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the purest inyigorant and the
most invincble antagonist Of all causes OF disease,
whether present in the air we breathe, the water
we drink or connected with our mamma OF life or
the nature of our pursuits, that science has yet
given to the world. The experience Of twenty-five
years has taught observant people that this un-
exceptional and agreeable tonic and Alternative
possesses preventive and remedial virtues that are
shared by no other medicine Of the present age.
1t has taught them also that while it is infinitely
more efficient than any Of the poisonous alkaloids
prescribed as tonics 1t IL absolutely and entirely
harmless.

JUST TAKEN HIS BIrTERs.-We heard q
seedy looking individual with an alarmingly
red nose remark to brother soaker that he
had "jast had his bitters, but he did not mind
taking another nip" His remark suggested
train Of reflection. How was it, we asked our
selves, that the word "bitters" had grown to
be synonym for gin, whisky, rum, and other
alcoholic stimulants, to which it was applied
Unfortunately. Bitters, we reasoned, sug-
gested the idea Of healthful tonic, not of a
poisonous stimulant; something invigorating to
the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full of
fusel oil, producing present intoxication and
ultimate insanity, idiocy, or premature death.
Moreover, our idea of bitters was totally IRE
concilable with "gin cocktails" ssrum
punches" and "brandy smashes," which we
are informed, are sweetened with sugar. and
rendered doubly injurious with essences col.
ored by means Of mineral poison. This was
bitter-sweet with vengeance We mentioned
this problem to friend. He solved 1t by ex-
claiming: ''Why, don't you know that most
of these bitters advertised as remedies arc only

IS Pain.Killer."

There can be no necessity, at this late
day, for the press to speak in commenda-
tory terms of this remarkable medicine,
in order to promote its sale; for it is
medicine that is known and appreciated
the wide world through. Whenever we
speak of the Pain-Killer, as in the
present instance, we do SO in behalf of the
afflicted as well as in the interest of its
proprietors. For various diseases, such
as rheumatism, cholera, cholera morbus,
burns, sprains, bruises, and so on to the
end of the catalogue, it proprietors claim
that there is no remedy before the people
equal to Davis Vegetable "Pain-Killer,"
and we know that thousands upon thou
sands entertain the same belief Certain
ly, we cannot refer to the history of any
medicine of the kind which has wider
reputation than that of the Pain Killer.
1t was introduced in 1910, and from that
time to this its sale, both at home and
abroad, has constantly and rapidly in
creased, and the high reputation it has
achieved, shows that it has been the
means of relieving a vast amount of
human suffering. We hope the present
proprietors of Davis Vegetable pain
