WHAT LIMITED MEANS.
A Term Frequently Added to the Names
of Firms.

Term Frequently Added to the Names
of Firms.
or late years q marked change has
taken place in business enterprises by
the introduction into this country OF
an English custom. The old principle
of partnerships and corporations was
that the entire property of every
partner or stakeholder was liable for
debts OF the firm or company.
This system made 1t possible for Mr..
D. who perhaps had only one-tenth
interest in firm. to be called upon to
pay all the debts. and II deferred
wealthy men from becoming Interested
in the shares OF "a corporation unless
they could secure controlling i'm
terest.
To remove this objection ''limited"
companies were organized. This means
that only the separate property of the
corporation Is liable for the debts OF
the corporation that is. that the liza
bilities are ''limited'' by the assets.
The English law requires that such
companies display the word Limited
in connection with their name; but few
II any. OF the States make such re-
qnirement.
Most American companies and a
great many business firms do business
on a limited liability plan. which. be-
ing founded on common sense, bids fair
to be universal.
The most noteworthy exception to
the general rule is the case OF the
National Bank. but even In this in
stance liability is limited to an amount
equal to the par value OF the shares
held That is. il the National Bank
fails. each stakeholder may not only
lose what he has invested. but 800
moro for each share of the stock he
holds. II so much is necessary 10 pay
the debts OF the bank.-Golden Days.

Simplicity in their mode Of living was III
marked characteristic Of the early settlers
Of America.
Every thing which pertained to them VA
plain and transformations.
Tho food which they ate was frugally
served and Of the substantial kind.
Their clothing was home-spun and tn
moccasins which covered their feet were Z
home product being made from the hide Of
animals and ornamented with beads aftes
the Indian fashion.
Their homes were simplicity itself, con
sisung Of roughly hewn logs and home made
shingies-the whole constituting the Old
Log Cabin homo OF frontier life.
Yet those were model homes.
The wives and mothers were well versed
In the art Of al that pertained to house
wifery.
Conspicuous in the early home was the
striking figure Of tho old grandmother.
Not only was she the adviser in social A.
fairs but she was the medical adviser and
prescriber for the sick. Often were her
hands engaged in tho preparation Of some
healing potion or remedy for the relief Of
those in ill-health. Fully versed in all the
bountiful supplies contained in tho grand
store-house Of Nature, she wisely knew how
to utilize the curative properties contained
in certain roots and herbs and accordingly
she transformed them into certain remedial
agents, which havo made the old Log Cabin
famous for all time to come.
Conscious Of the great value Of some Of
those old time home cures . successful e.
fort has been made to re-discover the lost
necret Of their preparation, and, coupled
with all the improvement which human In.
genuity and progress suRgests, they ore
now widely known under the name OF War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the most promi
nent being Log Cabin sarsaparills and Log
Cabin cough and consumption cure.
The suffering public has been quick to
recognize and appreciate their true value
and tho manufacturers are daily in receipt
Of much praise for the re-discovery and re-
vival Of these old time remediao against
sickness and disease.
To the old Log Cabin home, however, II
justly due the praise for ell tho good which
may, thereby, be effected.

MANURING ORCHARDS
How to supply the Elements Tsken from
the Soil BY Fruit Trees.

How to supply the Elements Tsken from
the Soil BY Fruit Trees.
Apple and other trees are constantly
taking up potash from the soil and
storing a large portion Of it in the
wood, and it is for that reason that in
old orchards there is sometimes a
dcarth Of fruitage and growth, through
q scant supply Of this essential fertil-
izer available for use.
Where trees have been standing for
years. drawing from the natural sup
ply. and there has been no application,
it is not at all surprising that there
should come a time when the available
supply is exhausted-not only Of pot
| ash. but of all other mineral-plant
food.
Hero is undoubtedly one prolific
cause OF failure and decay Of the trees
in old orchards.
As a rule. farmers are averse to cu!-
tivating orchards. overlooking the fact
that during all the years exhaustion Is
constantly going on.
For the supply of necessary food to
trees, there is nothing better or more
natural than ashes. and unless supplied
o cause OF failure may reasonably be
anticipated.
Spreading broadcast brings ashes
where they will be carried to the roots
OF the trees AID become at once avail
able.
1t Is an easy thing to spread ashes
around the trees. and it must be borne
in mind that it is far easier to preserve
an orchard already planted and bear
ing than to grow new one
II ashes are not to be had, muriate Of
potash and ground phosphate rock are
an efficient substitute and cost less.
taking into consideration the quantity
Of mineral elements they contain. but
soda-ash and ground phosphate rock
make still better. as well as cheap
er, combination. and the alkali in
soda-ash. while it costs about one-half
that it does in muriate OF potash for
equivalent strengths of alkali, is in q
much better form to use.
There was imported into the United
States in 1888 66, 955.744 pounds of
muriate OF potash, in addition to sui
phate Of potash. kainit aud other potash
salts. and over 2OO. 900 pounds Of
o0da-ash.
