Let any farmer compute the sum
which a full annual crop of apples
would produce. even at low rate per
bushel. and he will be surprised to flnd
how much more profitable his apple
orchard is than any part of the farm
devoted to grain growing. With good
management and manuring a full crop
of apples NAV be grown every year with
as much certainty as any grain crop
and with less expense.-N. y Herald.
"A useful pen-wiper may be male as
follows: Take any small piece of silk.
satin, cloth. tweed. of dark colors. such
as are useless for any other purpose,
being much too small in size. Sew
them together firmly in the center; to
hide the stitches use large button in
gold or silver. or corded silk. Notch
the edge, all round. to make it look
neat. These pen-wipers stand great
deal of wear. and being so simple. peo-
pie can afford to throw them away
when they are done with them.-Er-

II. when making paste or glue. q
small quantity of carbolic acid is added
it will keep sweet and free from ofen-
sive smells. A fed drops added to mu-
cilaee or ink prevents mold. In white
washing the cellar or dairy. if an ounce
of carboiic acid is added to each ounce
of wash. it will also prevent mold and
the disagreeable taints often perceived
in meats and milk from damp apart
ments. Another great advantage in
the use of carbolic acid in paste for wall
paper and in whitewash is. that it will
drive away cockroaches and other pests.
