Extracts from an address read before the
Farmers Institute, at Gardner. johnson
Co, Kansas, Jan. 5, 1859, by A. Is. Ollie.
Kansas Farmer.
Who can estimate the value that a
good orchard aud plenty of small fruit
adds to farm? There is no farm that
will sell as well without it, and one of
the first questions asked by the would
be purchaser is, ''Have you plenty of
fruit?" If there is no fruit he doesn't
want the farm; and, on the other hand
il there is an abundance of choice fruit,
the owner doesn't usually want to sell.
The time to plant is early in the
spring, as soon as the ground will work
well; get your ground in good order
and plant in good season; never wait
on the moon. The ground should be
laid off by burrows or stakes, both
ways, the distance apart the trees are
to stand, and the trees planted on the
cross-lines, care being taken to get the
row straight. Good, thrifty twO-year-
old trees are the best, thirty-three feet
being about the proper distance apart
for apple trees; twenty for pear ard
cherry. ] think it is a good plan to
set out row Of peach trees, between
each row of apple trees, as they serve
to protect The apple trees from severe
winds aud hot sun; and by the time
the apple trees come into bearing, the
peach trees can be removed. Feed
the trees all they need by q liberal
course of manuring. You cannot ma.
nure Young orchard too much.
The subject of pruning is an impor.
tant one, and one that has engaged the
attention of horticulturists great deal:
there being considerable difference of
opinion on that subject. The principal
point is to train up your trees in the
way they should grow, from the start,
just as yop would child. Some va
rietics require mofe pruning; the trees
should never be allowed to fork, but
the twigs should be started out later
ally from the main stem; the tops
should always be kept sufficiently op-

en- to admit the light and air to every
part, always bearing in mind the fact
thai you cannot have choice fruit with
out either. Pruning should be done
early in the spring, and the brush
piled and burned, or else hauled out OF
the orchard.
One of tbs greatest drawbacks to-
ward raising an orchard is the borer
The trees should be gone over every
spring, at least, and all borers picked
out or killed with wire. If you can
not reach them with a wire, a few
drops of turl entine will do the work,
and will: not burt the tree q particle.
I would recommend the following
varieties for home use. five of each:
For summer use-Early Harvest. Red
June; Red Astrachan, Early Pennock
and American Summer Pearmain;
Fall apples-Maiden's Blush. Jonathan
Rome Beauty, Grimes Golden aud
Smith Cider-the last four are late fall
or early winter; For winter use-Ben
Davis, Winesap, Rawles' Genet.
Huntsman's Favorite, White Winter
Pearmain.
No farm is what it ought to be until
it is well stocked with all kinds of
fruit, and If properly managed aud
cared for, the family never need be
without. The first In the spring to
brighten our tables is the strawberry.
What Il joy it is to the little folks to
hunt for the first ripe strawberry!
And what is there more delicious than
a dish of straw berries and cream? Yet
thousands of people never taste a
strawberry from one years end to an
other. The same is true Of raspberrios
and blackberries, all of which are as
easily grown as tame grass. Nearly
every one knows how to grow them
The main thing is to plant them out
the right kinds-aud take care Of
them and You will always have plenty
of fruit.

Consumption.
Ballard's Horehound Syrup.

No single disease has played such
sad havoc with the human race as
consumption. No other disease ap.
proaches so steslthily. Its early SYM

only a cold or hacking cough, which
is neglected until this grim monster
has such hold that nothing but
death can relieve it. Ballard's hore.
hound syrup has removed the grip of
this grim monster fiom many throat.
If taken in time it will effect a perHa-

will give surprising relief. Try its

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
The Treatment of Persons Overcome
Illuminating Gas.


The Treatment OF Persons Overcome D
illuminating Gas.
Some extraordinary science seems
to have illuminated the recent meeting
of the American Gaslight Association
at Toronto, during the discussion upon
the remedies to be employed in cases
where persons were suffering from the
inhalation of gas. It is not uncommon
for the workmen of the gas companies,
in looking for leaks or digging up
broken pipes, to be overcome by the
gas, and, according to the accounts OF
the treatment to which they are sub
jected by the surrounding philanthrop-
lists, they seem to be fortunate if they
escape with nothing more than tenn
porary loss of consciousness. One of
the participants in the discussion had
bad the prudence to ask advice on the
subject from a physician, who gave
him sensible set of rules, consisting
mainly in directions to give the sufferer
plenty of air and administer a little
brandy and water, assisting respiration
by artificial means if necessary. An
other ono had heard, also from ply
sician, that sweet oil might be admins
tered with advantage, and had used
this remedy in many cases with excel
lent results, which he attributed to
the efficacy of the oil, when swallowed,
in ''lubricating the breathing appara-
tus." so that recovery followed rapidly.
Another gentleman had had some
what different experience. On one
occasion, when seven of his men
were found insensible in trench
from an escape of gas. he had
them carried into purer atmosphere,
sprinkled with water, and dosed with
whisky and water until they were
sufficiently restored to eat, and then
gave them apples. After they had
devoured these, il was found that ''the
acid of the apples Immediately started
the gas out OF their stomachs," and
they were soon able to drink some
coffee and walk home. A similar
method of "star ting the gas out of
their stomachs" OF his men with acids
had been tried by third member,
who, however, used vinegar instead of
the acid of apples. The fourth remedy
mentioned was not an amateur device,
but the prescription of physician,
who was said to have on two occasions
treated men overcome with gas by
injecting carbonate of ammonia.
Whether this application was intended
to ''lubricate the breathing apparatus"
or ito start the gas out Of the stom-
ach" we are not informed, but it Is not
surprising to hear that the patient
was i'll for eight or ten days after
wards. A much-disputed point, that
of the relative poisonous effects of
coal and water gas, was touched upon
by one of the speakers, who said that
the effect of the inhalation of water
gas was ''a very serious matter in
deed' and "entirely different" from
the effect of coal gas. In his practice
extra precautions were taken in deal
ing with water gas, and men did not
recover from the effect of inhaling it
for some weeks.-American Architect.

How Mr.. IL. Terrorized His Better-Half
During the Week Preceding Christmas.

How Mr.. Is. TerroriZed His Better-Half
During the Week Preceding Christmas.
Thank goodness that Christmas is
over, and that Mr.. Bowser can no
longer hold it over me as weapon to
humble and terrify!
1t was away back in June that he
first began to refer to it. He lost his
keys one day through a hole in his
coat pocket, and as soon as he entered
the house he turned that pocket wrong
side out and exclaimed:
Look at that, Mrs. Bowser-look
at that! believe you claim to be a
wife and mother and housekeeper:"
You have hole in your pocket"
"Oh, l have! And you can see it!
You can actually see it!''
You should have called my attention
to it before, Mr.. Bowser. I'll mend it
in about a minute"
mo, you won't. A wife with no
more interest in her husbands clothes
than this should let them entirely
alone! You have been the means of
my losing all my keys. and now give
you air warning that you don't get no
Christmas presents out of me-not
even a stick of gum"
He got darning-needle and piece
of string and mended the hole himself,
and as his keys were returned to him
later in the day he apparently forgave
me until next time. Along in June he
had soft corn between his toes, and
one evening he said:
Seems to me you ought to have
heard of some cure for soft cornr'
81 have. A lady told me that soap
and borax cured one for her. Shall /
fix up some for you?"
He was delighted at the idea, and l
shaved up some soap, made the prepar-
alton and fused over his foot for an
hour. Next morning that corn was so
sore he could not put on his shoe, and
he iimped around and yelled at me:
.You did it to secure revenge on me
you know you did! You expected
blood poisoning to set in"
, II simply told you what lady told
me-"
Il don't believe any one ever told
you so! Soap and borax! Think of
it. The stuff would kill horse! l
had planned, Mrs. Bowser, to make
this memorable Christmas for you.
but now I'll be hanged if l do! You
don't get as much out of me as you can
put into your carr
The corn got well in three or four
days, and it was six weeks before Mr..
Bowser had another opportunity to
terrify me. One night l had to 60

Three or four weeks passed away,
and one evening he came home with a
couple Of tickets for the theater and
insisted that we go. We went. He
did not like the play; somebody stole
his gloves, and we missed the last car
and had to walk mile and half. He
restrained himself for the first half
mile, and then the explosion had to
explode.

the last time you will ever make fool
of me!''
"Why, what have l done?"
''Done! Didn't you drag me off to

About the first of December Mr..
Bowser went down cellar one evening
after scuttle of coal. On coming up
one ear of the bail gave way and upset
the scuttle, and Mr.. Bowser was
thrown off his balance and went to the
foot of the stairs. l was in the second
story and knew nothing of the mishap
until he came limping up stairs and
shouted:
"Why didn't you tell me that ear
was loose?"
Because / didn't know it."
mo, you didn't know it because you
haven't the least interest in what goes
on about this house! Here I've gone
and almost killed myself on account of

I'm very sorry"
'Oh, yes. / presume so, but that
won't count. Don't expect any Christ
mas gift from me, Mrs. Bowser-not a
one-for you won't get even a shoe

A week before Christmas Mr.. Bow
ser suddenly flung down his paper one
evening and ran to the back door to
count the strokes of a fire alarm. He
was in rush. and there was ice on
the steps, and the result was he got a
tumble which tore his coat, emptied
his pockets and skinned his shanks.
He didn't say a word. much to my sur
prise, until he got back into the house
and looked to see if all the doors were
closed. Then he stood before me and
sternly said:

And yet Santa Claus brought me lots
of nice gifts, and Mr.. Bowser was as
happy as anyone in the house over the
fact. Indeed. he put his arm around
me and said:
