The export season for the dried
fruits OF the Levant'is now in full ac.
tlVlty. In one fortnight lately no
fewer than $4,000 barrels, cases.baos

glons where it thrives best, it fills
the place of the banana OF tropical
chimes, and yields its fruit during sew

Minor, where the tree is found wild
and Where the best figs Of commerce
are chiefly grown, the fruit begins to

ment to a large population, comes to
market in immense quantities in Sep

give even a third crop, which ripens
after the leaves have fallen. The best
tigs for drying come from the valleys
oil the Meander and Kaistros, to the
south Of Smyrna, where the trees are
planted regularly with care, and the
ground is dug and hoed from four to
six times during the summer. The
Smyrna and Adm Railway now
affords great facilities for the trans
port OF the fruit, which formerly had
to be brought long distances on cam

When the figs reach Smyrna they are

boxes by men. They are best when

or nearly 10000 tons, had reached
Smyrna on the 22d OF October this
year, land the production increases
annually. Fifteen years ago not more
than half that amount was recorded
for the whole season. England and
American take by far the larger pro-
portion of the exports; France, where
the smaller and much inferior figs OF
the Mediterranean are chiefly con
sumed, taking little or none of the
fine fruit of Smyrna. The facility OF
transport which has so much increased
the stocks brought to market has also
brought down prices, which, taking
averages, ranged ten years ago from
It's. the kintal OF 124 pounds for
Adm figs to 36s. for elemes; while
the very best (ekmis) sometimes
brought 79s., or nearly Sd. a pound.
Now the average prices are as low as
12s.; and the small parcels OF excellent
quality bring only 27s. the kintal, or

Pruning Pea Vines.

The following by n writer In the
american Garden is worth remember
until next "While hoeing
last summe my Little Gem peas, grow
ing on rich, mucky land, between straw
berry rows four feet apart, | noticed
that some of the plants had more than
one bearing stalk. The question oc-
Cured to me why all could not have
several stalks, and of course more pods,
provided the land was rich enough and
there was o enough between them
for air and sunshine. Then came the
thought of what l had heard and read
about shortening in plants to make them
more stocky and fruitful, and of the
practicability of a similar treatment for
peas. 1t was already late in the season,
the first blossoms just showing them
selves in most cases, yet the experiment
was worth trying, and as [ had an acre
of these peas it could not amount to
much if 1 did injure a few plants. So ]
counted off just 600 plants on one row,
stuck a stake firmly in the ground and
pinched remOrselessly an inch or more,
blossoms and all. from the top of every
one of these plants. Then 1 counted 600
plants ON the row next to this and drove
a stake, without disturbing the plants. L
watched the decapitated vines with much
interest, and sure enough new branches
came out abundantly near the ground
and from the axis of the leaves. They
finally buddcd, blossomed and fruited
more abundantly than their neighbors.
although about a week later. None of
the peas are picked, the entire crop being
saved for seed. They were thrashed,
winnowed and carefully measured sep
arately on the 22d of August with the
following result: The GOO ~headed-off
plants yielded five plump quarts, while
the 600 %unpruned ones, in the adjoining
row, yielded four scant quarts. The
practical value of this ~shortening-in of
pea vines, rs appears from this single
experiment., consists therefore not only
in an increased of twenty
five per cent, but also in the prolonging
of the period of picking from a single
planting. By pruning a part of the
vines the harvest of these becomes
delayed a week, and thus all the advant-
ages may be secured that would other.

Oiling Harness.

Harness is more rapidly injured in
summer than in winter. Its sometimes
soaked with rain, and again subjected to
horses does it no good. If kept well
oiled, all these influences will cause little
injury. There are many different APP
adopted for employing them. A COM
mon way is first to wash thoroughly with
soar and var water, and then to apply
neats-foot oil, as the best oil for the
purpose. But a different course is adop-
ted by others. One team manager in
forms us hat the first thing to do is
always to apply one or two coats of
castor oil with enough lamp-black to
give proper cclora By thus satura-
ting leather with oil first, the soap
and water applied afterward do not pene-
trate it, and when leather is permitted
to absorb water it hardens it, and ex-
cludes the Oil. By oiling first, the dirtis
softened Sc that it is easily washed off,
and this oJviates much of the scraping
otherwise required, and the whole oper-
alton may be performed at once. After
being oiled, wash it with a sponge and
soap suis, and when dry, rub over it a
mixture of equal parts of oil and tallow.
colored with lamp-black, and a small
portion of Prussian blue. This is sub
stantially the process recommended, and
we shall be glad to hear from those who
have tried different methods, as to their
comparative value, and of the benefit of
applying the oil first, and the fitness of
castor oil as compared with other appli-
cations.
While on the subject of using harness
in farm work in summer, it is well to
recommend for any field work the simp-
lest harness that will answer the purpose,
both for the comfort of the horses, and
to prevent the needless wear and tear of
leather. Binders are not needed, belly
bands nor cruppers. Simple harness for
the farm, kept always in good order, not
liable to breakage, will be a thing of
economy in more ways than one, and
sometimes prevent costly delays in the
most busy days in the year.-Country

Highway Robbery in Maine.

The visitors at this %aristocratic sum-
mer resort got Il taste of the border
ruflianism 4o-day. which is not at all to
their liking. A blackboard party of three
gentlemen and half n dozen ladies was
this afternoon halted by a band of des-
p~eradoes on Il steep and narrow road OF
Green Mountain, ten miles from here.
The leader of the bandits stood in the
middle of the road with a pistol in each
hand, and commanded the driver 10 stop.
The order was instantly obeycd, and the
highwayman, covering the party with
his shooters, advanced to the carriage,
while two confedcrates made a flank
movement in the bushes. The leader, in
apleasant voice, remarked: ..Gentlcmen,
I'll trouble you foryour money accom-
panying the request with a significant
movement of his cooked weapons.
Messrs. John and Isaac Howe, of Bos-
son, the unfortunate victims, promptly
handed over their purses, which con-
tanned between S1,100 and $1,000 i'll
cash. The robber pocketed them coolly,
and, looking the ladies over carefully,
added: Now I'll take those w~atches;''
and two elegant gold t~ime-pieccs were
quickly delivered. With a pleasant Good

the bushes, and the party, on recovering
from its astonishmcnt, proceeded. The

A Cure for Warts.

1 read a request for a cure for warts
in some paper, and think it was in this.
They are very troublesome, as 1 know,
and l often laugh to myself when 1 think
of the time a piece of meat was stolen
from the pork barrel, rubbed over the
warts, then hidden, years ago, as l had
been told to do, and they would go off.
Perhaps faith was lacking; at all events,
instead or going off they grew larger
continually. Grandmother said to me
after this, ''Why don't you cure those
warts?" After asking how, she said.
''Why, just as 1 did mine once, with
milkweed, if they are seed warts. When
you get your dishes washed at night
they will be soaked up Just right; then
go out and break off stalks of milkweel,
and apply the milk to each wart, being
careful not to wash or soak itoff till morn
ing. Do this u few times, and they will
certainly disappear, though You may
think not. Now you try it." L did try
her remedy faithfully, and since then 1
have recommended it, knowing it a sure
cure for seed warts, for mine disappeared
after three Dr. four applications only,
and | eve had any more. The only
discomfort was an intolerablc itching at
the roots of the warts for a few moments
after using the milk.-C0r. Household.
