INGRowING Toe NALs,-For in
growing toe nails begin the effort at
cure by simple application of the solu-
tion of the tender part of a small guam
tity of perchloride of iron. 1t is found
in drug stores in fluid form, though
some times in powder There is i'm
mediately sensation of pain, constric-
ton or burning. In few minutes the
afflicted portion is felt to be dried up,
tanned or mummifed, and cases to be
painful The patient who before could
not put his foot to the floor, now finds
that he can walk upon it without pain.
By permitting the hardened wood.like
flesh TO remain two or three weeks, it
can be easily removed by soaking the
foot in warm water A new and
healthy structure is found below. If,
thereafter, the nails be no more cut
around the corners or sides, but always
curved across the front end, they will
in future grow only forward and by
wearing shoe of reasonable good size
and shape, all further trouble will be
avoided.

THE JEWISH LEAP YEAR.-This is a
Jewish leap year, and is remarkable
for containing thirteen months and 303
days. The lateness of the Jewish holi-
days this fall is attributed TO the pecu-
liar and exceptional character of the
year, for ordinarily the New Year cele-
bration occurs pror to the middle of
september, while this year-5G3S ac,
cording to the ancient rcckoning-the
holiday did not occur until the first day
of October, not less than fifteen DAYS
subsequent to the date of its usual hap.

APPLE BuTrER.-Nice apple butter is
excellent with cold meat. Use tart ap
pies, and to three pecks after they are
peeled and quartered allow nine pounds
of brown sugar and two gallons of
water. Let the water come to boil
then add the sugar when it is dis
solved put in the apples, Stir them
constantly with large wooden spoon
After they are soft let them simmer
until they are thick, and do not seem al
all watery. If you wish to add an,
spices you may do so, Cinnamon, nut

some.people, When it is possible tc

SAVING AND SOWING CLOVER SEED
The Germa,stown Telegraph very
seasonably says that in securing clover
seed it is best to cut it as soon as the
heads become brown, some time in
September. If cut later the heavy
dews and reduced heat of the sun will
cause dampness and the hull to cling
very tightly to the heads; When cut,
it is recommended to be at once put
under cover to secure dryness some
put in stacks or cover with straw. If
the ground is dry and the sun is hot,
it may be hauled in the same day it is
cut Some farmers cut it and stir it
and put it in windrows the same as
making hay; but this is waste of
seed, as the stirring rattles off the
ripest and best of the seed. In moving
it to the barn, it can be stored on the
barn floor until ready to thresh, If
there is no huller in the neighborhood,
enough can be threshed out for ones
sowing; and, as it will not be very
clean, it should be sown in February
or earlier, so that the hulls and seed
may settle in the ground and germi
nate as soon as the soil is warm enough
giving it good start, which is almost
certain to produce a good crop

The Apple Aspect,
TWO 'oFF YEARS" HAPPEN TO COME TO-
GETHER.

'ElliEh
The apple situation is peculiar this
year. 1t was the "off year" last sea-
son, and there was the customary light
crop at prices ranging from $3.50 to
81 per barrel. This year "by good
rights as the farmers say, there should
be larger crop, such as they gather
oftentimes, for sale at 81 to S2 per
barrel, and export thousands of barrels
at those prices. The Boston Comnaer-
cial says : Reports from nearly all ap-
pie growing sections give promise of a
very different state Of affairs. 1t is
too much, perhaps, to say that the ap-
pie crop is failure, but it will tall
short of expectations. This is the talk
of our leading dealers in this fruit, and
numerous private advices were quoted
in support of this view. These all
point to the fact that the crop is a
scattered one rather than failure One
New England farmer writes here that
he will have large crop of 500 bar
rels. His nei ghbors will not do as well
as usual. Different counties in the
same State return varying reports. On
the same farm marked difference is
noticed in the bearing of trees. Gen
orally, trees in sheltered localities have
done the best, and this seems to be the
key to the whole situation. The trees
blossomed well throughout the country,
but were seriously affected by cold and
damp weather in June, and the crop
is largely in proportion to the
natural protection of orchards. Under
such circumstances it is next to impos.
sible to estimate the shortage. As the
harvest advances there is likely to be
considerable change in the situation
But it is safe to count on an unusually
small crop for an apple year. 1t looks
now as if higher prices than those o.
last year would be realized A promi
nent dealer informs us that he will con
tract for choice Baldwins at S4 per bar
rel Farmers are acting cautiously
about contracts, and only placing them
at safe figures. The export movement
will be very small at the best, with {
likelihood of much great value of i'm
ports from Canada, where the crop il
said to be large.
