Mak ng App.e Trees Bear EIcry
 Year.

In many parts of the country ap- iple trees yield crop of fruit only every alternate year, the year rep resented by an odd number QS79) being barren, while that represen- ted by and even number (lSSO) vii! be fruitful. In other places or. charis bear every year Some trees will yield ouly fruit only every other year, while others near them on every side will produce "a bomtitul crop. Two seasons arc require to produce a crop of apples; that is, during one season the fruit buds are developed, and during the next the fruit. All the vital encrgoies of some trees are employed during one season to de. velop the fruit buds; then the year following,lheir entire vitality seems to be spent in developing the fruit. without sufficient force being left o form fguit.buds for the crop of the next season Now, in order to induce an apple tree to bear every season, according to the Amer ican Garden. climb into the top, or go up on ladders, just as one does when plucking the ripe fruit, and with d pair of sharp shears clip off all the young fruit from about half the tree. Then fruit-Buds will form on that side of the trees from which the young apples were cut of. One half the top, then will bear fruit one year, while the other half will yield fruit the next sea. son

How the Y0ung People Conducted Their Love Making in Ancient

Uncle Davy was giving the boys some advice in their lovC-making affairs, and one of them asked him 1 how the yorng people did when he was sparkling. Them was great
 times, boys,' he said in reply, great times. We didn't have no
 gas, no kerosene, nor no new fang led notions, and we done our sparkin' by a plain tallow dip, but most frequently just by the fire light. "Firelight is warmth, boys and llickers just enough to make
 girls eve shine and the peach l blossom glow on her checks. It's
 mighty soft and purty, too, and kinder reaches out and mclts two
 hearts together in way nonc Of

 up a little too powerful in places. and the young man would get up
 without sayin' anything and put
 shovelful of ashes on ii. Then
 he would cuddlc up to the girl Tn

 some, too, and it really didn't seem like there was anything else in the whole big round earth to be wish

 get obstreperous again, and the little flames would twinkle in and

 lauchin' and winkiu' about 1t and haviu' some fun, too, and the young | fellow would reach for the shovel
 and the ashes and cover the bright blazes all up. AnI sometimes remember, now. only sometimes the girl would get up and put ash es on, and then well, boys, when 1 the blue birds come in the spring and the fishin' worms crawled ont
 ot the ground, and the boys set on the green banks of the little creek
 waitin' for bite, and the johnny l jumpups nestled ill the sunny 1 places, there was weddin' in the old house, and the purity bride

What Education the Farmer Weeds,

Prof. c. II. Hall, in the Indiana State Agricultural Report, says: "Thc farmer is in need of the btgh- CT education-thcd disciplined mind and a larger amount of Information -as a means ofSelf-proteetion. The farmer, in whose brain, in whose heart, in whose soGl, are lodged the best possibilities of our cilviIi. zation and generation. will be able to defend himself and his against the sharks and humbugs which so often cntanglc him, when he brings to his farm life the culture of severer thought, What he wants is ability disciplined, and knowledge widcned, until he is able 10 measure arms, forecast re- suits and thwart the purposes oi lis interruptions foe. He wants to be drilled so that he may be able to meet the drilled intellect of the lnave on the road, of the scoundrel on the street corner, and of him who enters his parlor to court his fair and fayorite daugh- ter.
 "Ihe farmer needs the drilled intellect and disciplined mind in order to elevate his profession, in order to elevate the art and science of his vocation. The farmers oc- cupation is both ascience and an art "a science in that it has to do with soil. and seed, aud season; an art. in that much that he does may be delight to the eye, a stim- ulus to the imagination and taste. Such a farmer's barn will not be in front of his house, his fence cor ncis will be as straight as the eye can run them. The farmer needs the higher education in order that he may develop the highest degree possible the useful and the beauti- ful ill his own vocation, v Rural and Workman.

Wha. to Look For.
Contaminating drinking water i.

Contaminating drinking water is the cause of so much sickness that every man and woman grown should know good water when they see it, and have the means oi testing it. Water may to all ap' pearancc be clear and sparkling and yet contain the germs of foul diseases. The presence of cholor- inc tells the story, This substance is never touud in the soil, and when discovered in water must have come from the human system. In our daily food we use salt the choloride or sodium. After pas sing from the human body it be. comes separated, and the chlorine makes its appearance in the con. taminated water. As much as thir- ty or forty grains 10 the gallon is found in water drawn from wells near where people live. Let it be understood the more danger, and, also. that no water is really fit to drink which has any of this for. eign substance. This is not a pleasant subject 10 discuss, but people who are too dainty to pay attention 10 il endangcr their health and tbat Of the community they live in

Prom the Boston Globe.
The government census shows that
the entire people of the United States
produce each year what would be
equivalent to 80 cents worth ofwealth
per day for each individual, and, as
the average family throughout the
United States is made up CT five per-
sons, the average production for each
family is equivalent in value TO So 80
for each working day. Those who
obtain more than this amount, do so
because others obtain less, for, IL an
equal and fair division were, this Is
the largest amount that any one could
possibly receive. Now, 1t Is obvious
that, ii tho workingmen of the coup-
try banded together for the purpose
OF demanding that every family
should receive SO day for It's support,
they would be demanding an impos-
sibility. IL by cutting down produc-
ton less wealth was produced, fl
would manifestly be impossible, with
fair proportionate division, for the
head Of an average family to obtain
the equivalent Of $3.50 per day. As
there would be less to divide, he and
all others would be the losers by this
subtraction. We do not mean by
this that II might not be desirable to
limit the hours Of work, even at the
expense of this loss, for the moral,
mental and physical benefit OF the
workingman; but II ought to be clear
ly understood that the workingmen
of the country will grow richer by
such an operation.

DOWNING Coke is political
amusement which few men care to
engage In. II has been tried and found
to lack very many of the essentials OF
first-class fun. You see, the people
of Texas have known him long and
well, and they have never yet found
him either inert or incompetent No
public trust placed in his hands has
ever suffered neglect or inattention.
What makes this gallant old hero al
most invincible Is, he has never been
caught mapping, has always been
right, and BIAS always received the ell
thusIastie endorsement Of the people
after 1t had been filed aud laid down.
Just so will II be with this prohlbi-
ton matter. The longer the ques-
ton 10 before the people, the more
thoroughly they are made acquainted
with ell the qualifications Of its most
tortuous policy, the more clearly will
appear both his Judgment aud his
patriotism. There Is many q callow
