To make an excellent gravy for roast
meat, put a common dish with small
quantity of salt in it under the meat, about
quarter of an hour before 1t is removed
from the fire. When the dish is full, take
it away, haste the meat, and pour the
gravy into the dish on which the joint is
to be served.
For oyster patties in butter, make a
batter with the yelk of one egg, Or more,

a nice brown Ii preferred, little pars-

"What shall we dor" There is alarm on ac-
count Of dizziness OF the head, a whrlng
sensation when rising mp suddenly, a bad,
" all. gone" sensation at the pit of the stonl-
ach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with a
feeling like load after eating, pains in the
back, sides and chest, at times, with eostiyc
bowels, scantv, highcolorcd urine, some
times voded with pain, appetite poor, and
when food is eaten it oitcntimes distrcsscs:
the skin, after time, becomes dark, cold
and clammy, eyes sunken and tinged with
yellow, spirits detected. with evil forcbed-
ings. When any of these symptoms 0e

to be lost when the planting is deferred

to be lost when the planting is deferred
till spring. But the work should be done
the first favorable weather and before the
circulation of the sap begins. There are
several considerations in favor Of spring
planting, and generally it may be regarded
as the best season. Ii the soil selected for
the orchard is of dry, porous character
and the season has been favorable for the
ripening Of the wood of the young trees
in the nursery trees may be planted in
the fall At that season there is generally
more leisure to do the work well, and if
properly done and the trees securely sup
ported with stakes or if cone of earth is
thrown up around the base of the trees to
give them support no injury would be
sustained. When the planting is put off
till spring it is too frequently done in "a
hurry or deferred until too late after the
circulation of the sap has commenced and
the young rootlets have put out Then
the trees often sustain a serious check in
their growth from the loss of these young
roots and from the dry weather that fire.
quently ensues before the rains have thor
oughly settled the earth about the roots.
Where the subsoil is so compact that it
is difficult for the roots of trees to stick
downward our practice has been to mark
out land, say twelve feet wide, where a
row of trees is to be planted and pillow this
land three or four times, throwing the
furrow slices outward. In this way a
broad middle furrow may be worked open
two feet in depth. Then reverse the plow-
ing so as TO level Off the ground and plant
the trees on the surface of deeply pull
verified seed bed-N.Y. Herald.

October last was 1924, S15,219, against
S3l 200, 147 for the previous October--a
decrease of S6,3S4 ,92S. This decrease of
dutiable imports would indicate a decrease
of something like $1,900,O00 in customs
revenue. This rate of decrease continued
throughout the fiscal year would bring
the receipts from customs from $50, 000,-
600 to $25 900, 600 below Mr.. Bristow's es-

which there was decrease was brown
sugar, that article having been imported

October, against x4,070,62S the previous
October. There was considerable de-
crease also in wooden imports, while in the
