is a complaint from which many suffer

is Indigestion and a sluggish liver, the

Growing Fruit.

AS we have often said. we believe in
every farmer producing enough fruit
for home consumption, even if it really
costs him more to produce it than it
would to buy it. A home grown pro,
duet is always fresher and more healthy
than that which can be purchased in
the market. 1t usually has a much
better flavor, too. But independent of
these things, if we have to buy fruits we
shall likely 60 without them, at least
to considerable extent. But we do
not advise anybody to grow fruit for
market if he can grow other things
more probably. The idea is somewhat
prevalent that horticultural journals
mean to advise fruit as a market croI
on every farm. Not SO. Location, sol
and distance from market may make il
desirable, highly desirable to grow
other crops for profits. 1t is mistake
for man to grow wheat on land or
which he could grow corn much more
pro6tably; and it is a mistake to grow
fruit for profit when and where corn OF
wheat, or other grain can be grown
more proftably.-We Western Rural.

Senator Teller has one of the prettiest
gardens in the northwest. And oh!
what stories the roses could tell there!
The senator's favorite relaxation all sum-

other gentlemen who want to whisper
little suggestions in the senator's ear
find him every evening armed with y
hose sprinkler going around among tho
flowers, AMI as they talk they follow
him around from bush to bush. They
might not get al they want, but the

from his garden work, and boasts the

The Author Of Lorna Doone.

The Author OF Lorna Doones
r. D. Blaekmore lives in great retire
ment at his pretty villa residence,
'Shortwood," close to Teddtngton sta
ton, which latter place, by the way. Is
an innovation not stall to the taste of
tho veteran novelist, who built his home
before the station existed, and now re-
grets its proximity. Mr.. Blackmores
hobby is his garden. In front there is .,
trinity kept lawn, surrounded by -four
ishing beds where rhododendrons, pico-
tees, roses of every hue and old fashion
ed country flowers vie with each other
in abundance. Behind is the fruitful
orchard, his great pride, where straw
berries, currants, stone fruits, pears and
apples are to be found in such plenty
that much of it is sold in the fruit mar
kets.
1t has always been Mr.. Blackmore's
custom to work few hours daily in his
garden, and this seems to be his favorite
recreation. Mr.. Blackmore is now over
10 years of age, and widower. His two
nieces reside with him. In figure he is
rather short and thick set, with white
hair and whiskers; his face is strongly
lined, and the blue eyes and bushy eye
brows are very characteristic. He re-

Whilo the good that has been accom-.
plished by the farmers united effort
affords ample encourage ment for con-
tinuance in we'll doing, the things yet
to be accomplished call for it more
loudly than before. The spirit that
originated combines and monopolies is
still fertile, inventive and insatiably
greedy. Trusts and pools have been
scotched, but their creators still have
to be watched. for they have not been
and will not be converted to honesty by
legislative enactment. Laws are q
necessary deterrent to wrong doors, but
they work no change of heart. The
cotton seed oil trust will, we hope, be
destroyed as trust by the law which
declares every contract, combination or
conspiracy in restraint of trade illegal
and punishable, but its successor will
doubtless continne to insist upon falsely
branding the product of its presses

insist that that too shall be made illegal
by the passage of the Conger lard bill
The injury which fabricated lard does
the farmer is very considerable, and i,
is his right and duty to see that cotton
seed oil takes off the mask. Again,
why one gambler should be prosecuted
and punished for betting On the turn

himself, and another should be per-
mitted to bet with impunity on the
fluctuations of grain that never did and
never will exist, 10 the great detrimen'
of every producer Of real grain. is one
of those incongruities to which farmers
should turn their attention in an organ
lied way, and unless some better reason
can be furnished for it than we have
ever yet seen advanced, it should be
stopped by the passage of the Butter

ure. The inter State commerce law

"Money Goes"

The old saying that money goes"
was illustrated recently. A customer
rendered SEQ bill. The tradesman had
it changed by neighbor, who, being
in hurry, gave a pocket piece of $40 in
gold of the issue of 1861, which he priced
highly and did not want to part with.
He went to the tradesman as soon as he
had given the valued coin, and the lat
ter went out and hunted up the custo-
mer to whom he had given it. He had
bought sc:ne cigars at neighboring
store and had given the gold piece in
payment.
Upon going to the cigar store it was
found that the proprietor had trans
ferred the coin to saloon keeper near
by, and at that place it was found that
the saloon keeper had used it in liquida-
ting his brewery bill. The next day a
neighbor went to the brewery and found
that the cashier of that institution had
just parted with the coveted piece of
money to dissatisfied employee. The
individual was at last located and the
coin recovered.-Chicago Times.

Of terror is the lack of trees Yet it il
fact that on many farms that are old

posterity may enjoy them 1t is prob

Fertllizing.

The garden or the orchard without
fertilization is recklessly managed
Bnt it is a fact that even many who
appreciate the value of fertilization, do
not seem to realize that much of the
manure that is applied is pretty nearly
worthless so far as immediate effect is
concerned. Much OF the manure that
is taken from the stable and cattle
yard, is manure only in uame. 1t is
rough, coarse, unrotted material, and
such material does not become manure
until it has been rotted. Give strict
attention to details, for in that way
alone can we make our farmin. the
most profitable. But comparatively
few give much attention to the proper
preparation of manure for the soil
Comparatively few have come to g
realization that the richer the food the
better the manure will be. But while
that fact should be kept steadily in
view the gardener especially should no.
neglect the compost. In that way be
can make his manure Immediately
available. The thought of extra t.ou-
bic should not stand in the way OF
having good compost heap for single
moment, for it will richly repay all the
trouble it COSTS Western Rural.

family, and 1t is not known whether any

On July IL a peculiar case resembling
chicken pox more than anything else was
reported in O family living on Murray
street, between Sixth and Seventh. The
patient was Mrs. Mosier, a widow, and
in few days her daughter Lena was
attacked with the came malady. Mrs.
Mary Grim OF Temple was visiting rela-
tives in the city at the time and called TO
see the sick mother and daughter. Mrs.
Grim returned home, took the same
disease and died July 81
in Temple. The physicians all
agreed that it was only very severe
type of chicken pox and since the de-
velopment of the two cases Ut Mrs.
Mosier's, Mrs. II. NJ. Glastonbury. 206
South Seventh street, has been similar
ly afflicted but has about recovered.
Mrs. Shelton, corner Mary aad Seventh,
and Mr.. s. q. Beery, South Fifth
street, showed well developed cases
few days ago and were both sent to
Mrs. Mosier's to be treated. Several
physicians have made exhaustive
examinations. and In answer
10 the frequent and very natural
inquiry "is' mt that small pox, - the an
swer has been "no.'' About one week
ago Miss Hattie Ward. whose parents
live on the corner of Sixth and Mary
just across the street from the Mosier
residence, was attacked with q violent
fever and DR.. Halbert was called in. At
the end of few day eruptions appeared
on the face and extremities, and DR..
Halbert pronounced 1t q genuine case of
small pox, and is correlated by
two other prominent physicians. a
regular quarantine has been
ordered around the vicinity of the dis
ease, Notwithstanding the fact that three
physicians. equally rs prominent and
reliable, alter an examination last night
of the new case, declare it TO bs nothing
but chicken pox. Suitable precautions
are being taken now to prevent further
dissemination OF the disease, whatever it
may be.
