ton for their serious reverses of recent
years."
q. M. CLAY, in the Rural New York
er. says: ''The peach tree, if allowed
to fork, will generally split at the fork
and be destroyed The sagging of the
limbs. will produce poor fruit and early
decay. The cutting away of heavy
limbs may destroy the tree, as the peach
gums do not heal readily; hence the on
ly trimming, as said before, should be
heading back, and cutting away dead
limbs close to the main stem, and then
the wound should be covered with
paint"
SAYS Virginia fruit grower, in the
New York World: "We have lost more
trees by sun. scald than from borers or
any other cause, or from all others COM
bined. The injury is mostly to trees
from four to six years old that lean to
the northeast, caused by the 3 o'clock
sun in July and early August, The tree
with exposed trunk is blistered and
scalded, the worms get to work; the
bark will peel off and the tree might as
well be removed and new one set in
its place."
At the recent annual meeting of the
American Cranberry Growers Associa-
! ton, its statistician, Mr.. N. r. French,
reported that the crop last year was, in
New England, 155, 900 bushels; New
Jersey, 125, 000 Western States, 145, 900
"a total of 425, 900, against 322, 900, in
1882 and 46l, 900 in 1881. Good prices
prevailed, with no important or unex-
pected fluctuations. The opening quo
tation for New Jersey was about So
per bushel crate, which at the holidays
had increased to nearly 81 From the
talk at the meeting it appears that in
scots were unusually destructive to the
crop last season.
AN article in the Farmers Friend
says that when you find dairyman who
pronounces winter dairyipg a failure,
the chances are that you have found one
that does not make the greatest success
of any kind of deirying. Any one with
any skill at all should be able to make
winter darying pay and pay well, when
its products sell at about double the
price for which they sell in the summer,
while it costs but little more to carry
the cows through the winter in milk
than dry. While there is some incon-
venie1ce about dairy work in the winter
there are many very serious hindrances
TO summer dairying, such as hot weather,
flies. etc, which are avoided.
PROF WILEY, of the Agricultural
Department, Washington, has been ex-
perimenting on new sugar-making
process, and reports some valuable re-
suits. Instead of pressing the cane be-
tween rollers, he cuts it up into pieces
an eighth of an inch thick, puts them
into iron receivers and passes hot water
| through them under high pressure.
This carrie away the sugar in the cane,
leaving the starch and gums which are
taken out by the old process. There is
larger per cent. of sugar and better
quality obtained in this way than by
present methods, as the professor claims.
Though the machinery employed in the
| new process is a little more costly, it is
said the increased profits will more than
cover the difference.

Life was not serious to her yet;
Twas only just begun.
And so she bent her pretty head
In serio-comic thought,
But scarce q moment fitted by
Ere she an idea caught.
"This year is even, and III start
A letter on it's way,
And see what it will bring TO me
In one year and day."
She wrote it fast Her eyes were bright
" Oh, what bonny thing
If this should bring my knight to me
With brown mustache and ring
HThe one who takes this note," she Gays,
g Must have the right to wear
The white flower of blameless life,
Though life be dark or fair.
" Then when this gay one year in four
Has passed along the way,
He may return it unto one
Who is yours truly, Fay.

displayed in his store window. The
right hand mates to the stolen shoes
were then put in the same window, and

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in thequality of them. InaSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stitEen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish thcstifness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss God Watch Case ar y x,,x
which saves the WASTE of need & o
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIprrY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
