closely and more carefully into the internal
working Of his farm than was necessary in
former times. He must watch keenly
every movement OF the foreign producer,
study the conditions and prospects of the
markets, and be prepared TO produce such
commodities as are likely to bring him the
best return. He must not tie himself to the
growing of certain crops, and
the rearing of certain stock, merely
because is fathers did So, or be-
cause he himself found them profitable in
times gone by. He must cultivate an "open

Longevity of orange Trees.

How long vii, an orange tree live and
bear fruitl c. NJ. Lorng writes from
Spain to II. j. Rudsill, Of Riverside, Cal,
on this subject as follows: 81 remember
talking with you about the longevity Of the
ora 90 tree, when you said you heard Of
trees 100 wears Old that we're still in bear
ing. saw gu t. grove at Cordova that
was planted over 800 years ago, that is still
bearing fruit, very sour, and at Seville, at
the Alcszar several trse', bearing good

good deal Of vigor, aud tbeir foliage is
bright and clean. The fruit looks like that

facts before me cannot but believe That,

IDEAL RRCILING.

Broiling can be done in the even of the
Charter Oak Range or Stove with the Wire
Gauze Oven Door, more perfectly than over
the live Goals.
Lay the steak, chops, ham or fish on q
wire brOiler or meat rack, placing it in an
ordinary bake pan TO catch the drippings.
Allow it to remain in the oven with the
door closed Is or 20 minutes. No turning
is required. At the end Of this time it will
be found nicely cooked ready to serve.
THIS Is THE IDEAL WAY TO BRoIL MEATS.
There is no faint of coal-gas or smoke,
aud the meats are more tender and better in
flavor than those broiled over the Goals.
The convenience or broiling in the oven
will be appreciated by every house-keeper,
and adds another to the many reasons why
the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the
Wire GauZe Oven Door should be preferred
to all others now in the market.

Useful Household Hints.

To neutralize the smell of cabbage
while boiling, cook onions at the same
time. To destroy the smell of the
onions, burn the house down.
A small soft brush should be used
co clean celery and potatoes. Use
only the best backing. and polish rap
idly.
To cure fclon. keep the finger in
bag of salt. The same method can
be used to cure ham.
Two large silver salt-cellars are now
used, one at each end of the table
These are to be passed to each guest,
who will remove little of the salt to
his empty individual sub-6ellar.
To clean the children's teeth use a
fine tooth comb
To prevent the cooks eye from
watering when onions are peeled. peel
the onions yourself.-Wiiliam Il Siv-

The First American Shoemaker.

Among the Pilgrim Fathers who
came to Salem, Mass. in the second
cargo brought by the Mayfower. in
1929, was Thomas Beard. 1.-The Shoe
maker" Boston was not then set
lied or known even as St. Botolph's
Town. Beard brought a letter to
Governor Endicott. stating that he
was sent by the Massachusetts Bay
Company in London. and was to be
maintained by them, and commencing
him to the care and helpful favor of
the Governor. From their knowledge
of the few cattle here. and the needs
of the people, the company wisely
shipped some "hides" in the May
flowers cargo; these probably being
tanned sides Of leather. The little
colony of Naumkeag gave warm well
come to their new fellow-citizen, and
his. address and credentials moved
them to present him with fifty acres
Of land. After this pleasant event he
seems to have lived so peacefully
that he had no further history; but he
is the first one of whom our record
tells as being an American shoemaker

OLD FOLKS At HOME.

Every Thing,

See to 1t That They Receive the Best OF
Every Thing.
If you are so fortunate as to have
the "old people, in the house, see to
it that they have the warmest and sum
niest corner and goOdly portion of
the best that can be afforded of COM
fort, convenience and beauty; that
aged blood may be kept warm and
cheerful; that failing limbs may have
restful repose and that the dim eyes
that have watched over you and yours
through SO many toilsome years may
see around them the ever-present evil
dences of faithful and grateful care.
There is nothing in the world more
pathetic than the meek, timorous.
shrinking ways of certain old people
we have all seen them-who have
given up their old home into younger
hands and subsidized into some out-of-
the-way corner of it. to sit by fireside
and table henceforth as if they were
mere pensioners-afraid of "making
trouble" afraid of ''being in the
way" afraid of accepting the half
that is their due, and going down to
their graves with pitiful. deprecating
air. as if constantly apologizing foe
staying so long. There is no scorn too
deep and sharp for the sons and daugh-
tiers who will accept this attitude on
the part of those to whom they owe so
much.
Sometimes, to be sure, people grow
old with bad grace They become
embittered by misfortune or affection,
are peevish and unreasonable under
the goading of ill-health. All the
more do they appeal to great gentle
ness and faithfulness. Let it be borne
in mind that We, too. are Fastening on
toward the sunset of life. and that it
is possible that We may ripen into
very uncomfortable old people, to de-
mand much more of patience and de-
votion than We. as children. yield
