AN ORCHARD SAVINGS BANK. A
young man starting out in farming can.
not do a better thing than to plant an
apple orchard. if his land is within "the
apple belt" Don't rely on the gnarled
and ~decaying old trees; the life of an
orchard, under favorable conditions, is
only about that of a a Nothing
will lift a mortgage, or run up the
profit side of an account, like a prime
orchard in its first years of bearing.
Go for the standard varieties, or such
as experience has proved DO well in
your locality and soil. Theories are
good in their place, but a day spent in
driving through your town and finding
out what fruit-growers have actually
learned and done, is better. Get your
trees from some reliable nursery-lhe
nearer at hand the better-and use your
own best care and other peoples expert
ence in planting them.

SCIENTIFIC.

TOl0H Ssl0age Changed into HydrduIieC e.
meHl.-Ihe Corporation OF Burnley Eng
land was prohibited by injunction from
allowing the etiiuent from their Sc wers
TO flow into and pollute the River Calder.
The Corporation aud SCOTS Company
entered into a contract whereby Scott's
Company engaged to produce aud have
produced a clear ~efiuent. The injunc-
ton has been got rid OF, and the COrpO-
ration has recorded its satisfaction at
the results which the company has at
tanned. The works at Ddckplts, a short
distance from Burnley, have been erect
ed by the corporation, after the designs
by SIR. w. Is. Bryan, G. E., which ex-
emplify the latest scientific views on
the subject, In order TO deal with ell
the sewage Of the town and district ex
cept In time of hoods. The Corporation
deliver the sewage into the tanks, and
then Scott's Company purlfes 1t by
precipitation TO be supplemented event
ually by filtration, through coke II re-
qpired. The clear efiluent passes
into the Pendle water which joi's
the LRiver Calder. The stream into
which Colne and Barrowford, Nels.
on and Brierfeld pour their
raw sewage Is at present %unpurided.
The Calder below Duckpits also receives
a considerable amount Of sewage before
Ii joins the Ribble. Duckpits thus
placed, as it were, between two sources
of impurity, presents a case of some
difficulty. How 1t is met on the Pendle
wat .r is shown by the pure effluent dis
charged into 1t. The sludge, always an
offensive difficulty, is entirely cleared
away by its conversion into cement
portland and other hydraulic and Ro-
man cements). All that has hitherto
been made has been sold or used in the
works. The cement is sold with a guar
antee as to the strength and quality.
The company is open 10 make contracts
with HI other sanitary authority. The
nature OF the contract and cost of work.
ing tile process depend on local clrcum-
stances. The sewage from the town
passes into tour settling tanks, after re-
ceiving the proper dose of lime cream
previous 70 entering them. After settle
ment, the time for which varies from a
few days to a fortnight, according TO
circumstances, the sludge is pumped
into draining and drying ''backs" from
whence II is dug out and carried to a
heated drying floor. When sufficiently
dry il is packed into kilns aud burnt,
the only fuel used beyond that
which 1t contains being a small
amount OF 90 4 and sha Wings to set /.
al glt. AT the end of a lew hours the
kun is drawn, and the ''cement clink-
ers," as they are termed are ground in
to a coarse powder, which forms the
Gem ent. The cement is readily salable
as Portland or other hydraulic cement,
according TO the character and treat
ment Of the sludge. 1t is understood
that that these are the first works on a
commercial scale for carrying out the
process. The Corporation are satisfied
with the etiiuent, aud the company feel
assured that the results of working up
to the present time are a money success.

From Acute TO Chronic

Is an easy stage in cases Of dyspepsia. A
slight attack Of Ind .estion, especially when
there is a predispOsition to digestive weakness
OF the stomach, must speedily eliminate in
the more obstinate form Of the disease. 1t ID
well, therefore TO adopt preventive measures
early. Although Hostetter's Stomach Dtters
oyercomes, If persisted in, cases of dyspepsia
OF long standing, 1t is obviously the part Of
wisdom to use it ere the malady assumes q
chronic phase. This ID part cularly true, be
cause as dyspepsia advances, it e%ngenders
other BODILY evils, such as disorder of the
liver, constipation or undue looseness of the
bowels, nervous disorders hypochondrla,
sleeplessness. These ma aides are both pre-
VI nteu and remedied By the Bitters, but how
much better to check them in Their outset
with the grea Alternative, than to wait until
they establish a tirmer footholdin the system.
Surely the advisability OF this must be APP

HUMOROUS.

HUMoRs oP II LAw.-Qults an
amusing incident once occurred IN the
Seventh District Court. A trial for
murder was progressing. A witness
was testifying that on the morning after
the mt der he met the defendant at
breakfast, and the latter SCALED the
waiter, and said"-"Hold onl" ex-
claimed the attorney for the defense, 81
object TO what he said" Then followed
q legal argument Of about IN hour and
a half on the objection, which was
finally overruled, and the court decided
that the witness might state what he
had said. "Well, 90 on and state what
was said to the walter" remarked the
District Attorney, flushed with the
legal victory. SWELL" replied the wit
ness, che said, Bring me a rare beef
steak and a couple of soft-boiled eggs"
In n Of our courts, a little while ago,
an old lady was being examined AS a
witness. To almost every question
asked, the. counsel on the opposite side
would jump up and say, 81 object to it
as irrelevant, immaterial and incom-
petent." This appeared to annoy the
old lady, who seemed inclined TO make
a personal matter of IL. Finally the
~interrOgatory was put, "Did you see
those men In that field on that day ?"
"Maybe what 1 saw wouldn't be
evidence" was her answer, "because l
saw them through glasses. | am old
and wear glasses"

BoRERs.-Let me suggest what may
prove a perfect remedy for borers in
trees. Years ago, when there stood
about a dozen locust trees along the
street and north of the square, and
borers were evidently destroying them,
old DR.. Reed, a druggist, said he had
saved a large plantation Of loeusts SINH
larly afflicted, by boring a small augur
hole in half Of his trees, putting a tea
spoonful of calomel In, and carefully
plugging 1t up. He said the trees so
treated lived, and the others died. As
his hearers laughed, he said, ''try 1t on
one OF the worst OF those trees, leave
the rest alone; it will live; they will
die" 1t was done. That n is the
sole remaining tree to-day-the rest all
died within TWO years. l tried 1t on an
apple tree badly affected by borers five
years ago. Not a borer Is In it and 1t is
still thriving. / am told the bOrers
never quit a tree till they have killed 1t.
Is 1t SOY Now Is about the time to try
1t, as the sap will soon be passing up
from the roots again, and this will send
the calOmel through the tree. Certain
ly 1t is a cheap, harmless experiment,
and suggests treatment with other
remedies in the same ann 1t will
make the tree look dropping after a few
days, but 1t SOC RECEIVERS, There are
drugs, etc., that the sap dissolves and
carries through the tree in the same
way /; and other diseases may be tried in
the same manner. / intend to try 1t
for pear blight. Calomel is death to
worms. they say, in the animal, why
not In the tree?

AGRICULTURE.

HANDLING SHEKP.-In the proper
harding OF sheep there is good profit
and quick returns. In England IL is the
practice of many farmers TO select COM
mon ewes of good breeding qualities,
those are bred 10 COtswold or Leicester
rams. The ewes were generally fed
some roots previous to their Landing,
their vitality sustained TO the fullest
extent. They were also well fed on
mixed feed until the early tame grass
furnished a rich aud bountiful supply.
By such a courte many Of the lambs
were made to weigh ten pounds per
quarter (forty pounds of dressed NUT
tom at four months, and sold for Il
sterling, So per head. Now just think
OF the kind of meat such lambs produc-
edi IL we could get more Of 1t in this
country Our people would o Gull
tivate a greater taste for mutton. Some
one says, we cannot obtain as good price
in this country as In England for this
kind OF meatl We grant 1t, but sup
pose a farmer has 30 breeding ewes, and
he secures an improved ram, for the
double purpose OF raising early lambs
and TO improve the flock; we will esti-
mate the lambs at $3.50 each (say moth
ing about twins) If the ewes are good
they will average z lbs. of wool; this,
even at 80 cents, would aggregate $l22.-
80; lambs aggregate Sl25; total, s247.5 80
net return per head, or $4.95 per "
(this being a low estimate if properly
managed) (: and on any moderately sized
farm can be produced at small cost.
BY the course suggested above, the adj
vantage of improving the flock would
be no small consideration to the farmer,
for If a thoroughbred raul is constantly
kept at the head of the flock, that far
mer would soon be called upon to fur
nish breeding stock TO his neighbor
farmers at go ID prices, and his fleece
average would from 2 to IL oil Is lbs.
per head.
