How to Utilize Old rrnit Cans

Perhaps one of the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit can that can be de.
vlsed is to make it contribute to {
growth OF new fruit 10 hIl new cans
THIS Is done in following manner
The can Is ! ierced with one or more pin
holes and then sunk in the earth near the
roots Of the strawberry or tomato or 9th
or plant. The pin holes are to be of such
size that when the can is filled wit wa
ter the fluid can only escape into the
ground very slowly. Thus quart can,
properly arranged, will extend its iuiga-
tion 10 the plant for period of several
days; the can is then reflled. Practical
trials of this method Of irrigation leave
no doubt oi its success. Plants thus wa
tered flourish and yield the most bounte-
Gus returns throughout the longest
drouths. In all warm localities where
water is scarce, the planting ef old fruit
cans, as here indicated, will be found
profitable as a regular gardening opera
ton.

At THE GATE.


The golden hush Of the morning lies
DER smiling river and bending skies;
While over the meadow the sweet winds sigh,
And brcaths Of fragrance blow far and nigh,
And the tide flows by
4 boy stands under the oak-tree tall,
Al the old gray gate hy the orchard wall;
He looks far away where the blue sea smiles
Wondering Whc~c lie Fortunate Isles,
And the tide flows by.
4 youth and maiden pause and wait
In the sunset light at the old gay gate;
They aieutly gaze in each others eyes
And dream Of the rapture Of Paradise,
And the tide flows by.
Beside the gate stands a careworn man.
Meath a wint'ry moonlight faint and wan;
He looks far away toward the cold gray sea,
With sigh for the days that were once to be,
And the tide flows b..
An old man stands By the moss grown gate,
SorruWing, weary. aud dcsolate;
The starlight CLEANS er dis ant grave,
And over it softly the view trees wave,
And the tide flows by.

In Maryland the fruit crop Is reported
unusually large In the New England
States the prospect is good. So it is in
Wisconsin and Minnesota. In Calitor-
MIA the crop is excellent. With these eX-
ceptions the crop will be but an average
one in any of the fruit growing states,
and in many of them it is quite small.
While we do not anticipate AN absolute
scarcity of fruit in our principal fruit
markets, there will be no glut, and good
fruit will command fair prices next fall
and winter as it has during the summer.
