AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Dry Your Fruit.

The demand for dried fruits has
been so much stimulated of late
years by the improved methods OF
drying, that these products have as
sumed a position of great impor-
lance in the commercial world.
Their healthfulness and appetizing
influences have become almost q
necessity to the table of the world,
and they are now being transported
in large quantities to nearly every
part of the globe. The merits OF
dried fruits are especially apprecia
ted in all countries where no fruits
are raised, more particularly newly
settled colonies and mining dis
tricts. They form one of the prin-
cipal articles of diet on long sea
voyage, Statistics show that Aus
tralia Germany and England are
the principal consumers of these
productions; in fact, England alone,
according to an exchange, took
nearly half q million bushels, prin-
cipally apples and peaches, within
the last six months. In view of
this increasing demand. and the
many simple and cheap processes
for drying, it seems almost criminal
that so much of the fruit crop
should be allowed 20 go to waste.
Millions of dollars drop from the
trees every year, and mould in the
muck for lack of thrifty hand to
reap when the harvest comes. Tax
money, and big money may be
laid by with three hours work every
day in the orchard. A whole fami-
ly of boys and girls may be educa-
ted from the products of fifty trees
properly handled. Almost every
farmer has few trees, and room
for hundreds more on the farm and
in his pockets. Take care of what
you have. Let "gather and dry

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
Just Dropped In.

NeighbOrs ara an excellent insti-
tuition if they only keep their pla-
ces. But neighbors out of their
places are quite another thing.
Every rural neighborhood has one
or more of those troublesome PEG
pie who are continually dropping
in. Your female neighbor comes
over while you are at breakfast and
begs you won't mind her, and she
sits down in the dining room, and
stares at you while you eat, and
fixes her eyes on the patch on the
table-cloth, and shows by her eX-
preston that she knows that your
forks are plated. IfyOu have bacon
for breakfast, she tells you she dis
likes pork, and insinuates that it is
unfit for Christians to eat, but she
will add, as a sort of qualifier, that,
if you like it, it is all right. Then
she will want the pattern of little
Joe's apron, and she will go into
your parlor to get the last fashion
magazine, to save you the trouble
of going, when you know she only
does it for an excuse to pass by
your bedroom door, to see if the
bed is made. You never can have
anything or do anything without
your back door neighbours cogni-
zance. Your new spring suit, that
you have vowed she should not see
until you appeared in it at church,
she spies out by piece of trim
ming carelessly left in your work
basket, and she guesses at its cost,
and asks where you got it, and how
many yards you had, and who cut
it, and if you made it yourself, and
says she likes blue, but then green
is all the style. But she supposes
you got blue because green is so
trying to a sallow complexion.
When she finds out that you pur-
chased the material at Smiths she
says that she always shops at
Jones'. Jones is to be relied upon,
but then Smith tells a good story,
and knows just how to handle GUS
toners who do not understand
goods. And then she asks again
what you paid for your dress, and
you dare not tell her a cent more
on a yard than it really was, for you
know she will go directly and ask
Smith all about it.

No More Sleepless Nights.


Somebody who seems to have
tried it says: ''The last method we
have heard of curing cases of pure
sleeplessness, when unaccompanied
by pain or disease, is the following;
Get out of bed AID take linen
bandage-although handkerchief,
neatly folded longwise will do as
well, perhaps better. Dip one-half
of the handkerchief into water;
pass the wet portion around the
wrist; over this lay the dry half,
and tuck In the ends so as to make
all secure. Lie down again. The
wet bandage will be found to exer-
else a most soothing influence on
the pulse; this will soon extend all
over the nervous system, and calm,
refreshing sleep will be the result.

TO H.

You doth visit me IN dreams,
When the smiling stars appear,
And your welcome presence beams,
Like vision bright and dear,
And unto my fancy seems
As an angel hov'ring near.
In my dreams you visit me,
And you inger on my way;
Both your face and form / see
Mid the silent thoughts of day;
IT'S as sweet to think of thee
As:of joy-beam's Frightening ray.
You doth visit me in dreams,
a beauteous being and bright.
And your lovely image CLEANS
A glory upon my sight;
Like radiant stars, it beams,
With a beauty love and light.
In my dreams you linger nigh,
To not ever moro depart,
For your beauty caught my eye,
And your merit void ofart;
Now l often fondly sigh,
With Love arrow in my heart.
You doth visit me in dreams,
To be never once forgot,
BY the side of mem'ry Is streams
There will be one verdant spot,
Where you, whom love most esteems,
viii be my Forget-me-not.
In my dreams you ever reign,
OH let nothing once remove,
Or e'er separate the chain
That unites our hearts in love;
May it ever thus remain,
Of true love and friendship wove.
You doth visit me in dreams,
OH let them forever dwell,
And around me shed the beams
Of their sweet, enchanting speel,
For of oil sad words, love deems
The saddest to be -farewell. L. n

Preparing.

For anything you go at you must
first prepare. This is especially
so in agriculture; it requires fore
sight. You cannot go to work and
plant your corn and SOW your wheat
the day or time you want to, unless
your ground is prepared, and you
cannot prepare land without a due
course of time in rotation of cul-
ture. For instance the season for
sowing turnips is advancing. Well
-supposing your ground to-day is
under a heavy growth of weeds
these must be turned under thor
oughty so as to rot the ground
mellow, aud then be cross ploughed,
narrowed and thoroughly pulver-
lied by the time you require to SOW,
and not wait till too late to throw
you out of season. Being prepared
is three fourths, and being in time
is, l may say, four-fourths of the
battle in all our walks of life, as il.
Illustrated in many instances known
to US all. But in agriculture (or
any culture) you are not ready, you
soothe yourself a day or week
makes no difference, but you are
greatly mistaken; the day, the
week, the month, passes the course
of nature with it, and your ev
cry effort is unsuccessful because
you are behind time. Prepare
therefore, for any forthcoming
crop, say for a big turnip crop, the
value of which cannot well be esti-
mated, especially to sheepraisers
but although it is sometime ahead
yet mind it don't get here and find
you unprepared, not ready. Re
member that the 18th of July is the
right time to SOW the Swedish va
riety and the 25th for all the other
sorts for the main crops of Ten
neSSee.

OF all professions the farmer, the
cultivator of the soil, should read
more, think more and become
stronger in his reasoning powers
both for his farm interest and his
country's welfare. Certain hours
should be allotted to reading OF
writing by every farmer, and he
should be sure to remember that
the mind makes the man, and that
the body without the use of the
mind is not above that of the brute
creation. The onward and upward
farmer is a good citizen; the back
ward and downward farmer is a
hindrance to civilization, to society
and a curse to his country. The
young farmer shoulI early learn
that an uncultivated mind is moth
ing above coarseness. grossness, and
often disorderly and offensive to re-
fined society. And in order to reap
benefits of good order and cultiva-
ted society he must bend his efforts
tor the cultivation and refinement
of his mind, which is his only high
way to true nobility in a purely Re
publican form of government.

perfect, because they lose nothing

There is a very touching little
story told of a poor woman with
two children, who had not bed for
them to lie upon, and scarcely any
clothes to cover them. In the
depth of winter they were nearly
frozen, and the mother took the
door of a cellar off the hinges and
set it before the corner where they
crOuched down to sleep, that some
of the draught and cold might be
kept from them. One of the chill
dren whispered to her, when she
complained of how badly off they
were, Mother, what do those dear
little children do who have no cellar
door to put in front of them?"
Even there you see the little heart
found cause for thankfulness.
