have signed an agreement as follows ALI
salmon for export shall be accepted at
ports of shipment. No reclamations for

Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
of Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was hest
to give baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress
'EWe give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was the druggists answer.
81 don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine" said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. ''His baby, when eighteensmonths
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and drank the whole OF
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

Persons buying outside property and
suburban lots should be careful that the
title is good. A real estate man with
nothing but desk in one corner. of some
Office is not very responsible, and about
the time you find the title to your lot to
be no good, the agent has skipped. Buy
only of responsible parties or keep your
cash. Every snap looks glowing on
paper, while many of these suburban lots
and town scares are not worth the paper
upon which their descriptions are writ
ten. One concern is running religious
college in connection with its fake, and
is backed up by a lotsof preachers who
all get free lots for the work they are do
ing in helping the fake along. Keep
your money or else buy property that is

Don't speak SO positively. Do You
count me as no one? I am your friend,
Janet, and l will never let you enter

His voice was low and determined,
and there was ring of passion in it
that made Janet tremble from head to
foot. No one had ever before spoken
to her like that
You don't say anything, Janet
Don't tell me that you won't let me
sare you from this. I have known for
q month past that you We're all the

She looked up, their eyes met, and

Ali she had never known until now
how sweet it was to be loved and to
love again, but she was none the less
happy because of that
1t was well that the buildings of the
Old Ladies' home were situated long
way from the road, and that no one
was about the grounds, otherwise the
old ladies might have had food for gos-
sip for a long time; for it is not every
day that a little dusty spinster is seen
weeping on the shoulder of n big,
handsome and very devoted lover.
However, Janet's tears were soon
dried, for they were tears of relief and
10y; and five minutes later she was sit
ting in the carriage by her lovers side,
on her way to Ridgefeld, where, in the
small parlor of the Methodist parson-
age, she was speedily made Mrs. John
Humphreys.
Mrs. Wayne refused at first to be
reconciled to the match; but when she
saw how perfectly happy her brother
was, and how graciously Janet filed
| her position as smistress of Beechwood,
she concluded to make the best of it,
and held out the olive branch forth

But she never forgave Rosa for hav-
ing disappointed her, and there was q

Rosa told how she had urged John to
suggest something for Janet's relief.

but little injured. The explanation of
this difference is to be found in the
fact that the blight fungus is pro-
pagated during the summer by means
of microscopic spores, which of course,
fell in greatest numbers upon the
young plants nearest the blight-in-
tested ones. The lesson to be drawn
from the fact is too plain to need point
ing out. If it were possible, indeed, to
isolate beds of young plants so as to
prevent the access to the leaves of all
spores, plants might be kept free from
blight indefinitely.
All through the summer the blight is
propagated by these long spores.
Toward fall the threads which have
been mentioned as forming the grow
ing part of the parasite within the SUBJ
stance of the straw berry leaf, form
solid, tissue-like masses in the dead
part of spots, and finally these appear
at the surface as small black dots The
function of these little nodules appears
to be to preserve the parasite condi-
tions of weather unfavorable to active
growth and multiplication. They are
in the old leaves all winter, and send
out in spring threads bearing spores
similar to the long, jointed summer
spores

RAIIONS FOR PIGS.
Relative Amounts OF Fat and Lean
changed by Or mary Foods.

Relative Amounts of Fat and Lean Un-
changed by Or mary Foods.
Bulletin 10 of the Virginia expert
ment station gives the details OF eX-
periments with different rations fed
to pigs to determine their relative
economy and the comparative amount
of fat and lean produced by each. The
first ration was corn meal alone, in
which the percentage of nitrogen was
quite small; the second consisted of
10 parts corn meal, parts bran, and l
part beef scrap, and the third of parts
corn meal, . parts bran and parts
beef scrap, which had large percent
age of nitrogen. At the beginning OF
the experiment the 3 groups of pigs
Is in each group weighed about the
same amount, but it soon became evil
dent the third group which ate most
nitrogenous food, was not gaining as
rapidly as the others, and after about
Q months all three of this group died.
An examination showed that they per-
| ished from lack of power to assimilate
| food. The other groups were slaugh-
| tered after IS weeks feeding, but no
| difference in the relative amounts OF
fat and lean could be discovered. The
group fed corn meal alone had gained
| pound live weight for 14.79 pounds OF
dry substance in food eaten, at cost
of 5.3 cents per pound gained. The
group fed 10 parts corn meal, parts
bran, and part beef scraps gained ]
pound live weight for 1894 pounds dry
substance in food eaten, at cost OF
As cents per pound gained. To sum-
marize it appears: l. That very mar
row ration is not fed with economy,
and may even cause death through
lack of power to assimilate food In Sc
concentrated form. .. That not the
slightest difference is made in the pro-
portions of fat and lean meat in hogs
| fed corn meal alone and corn meal,
beef scrap and bran. g. That the cost
per pound increase of live stock weight
was one-half of cent per pound in
/ favor of the brau-fed lot.

SHIPMENT or FRUIT.
Mistakes to BE Avoided and Precautions
Essential to succexs-

Essential to success.
Some skill is required for meeting all
the conditions for successfully shipping
fruit by the wholesale quantity, over
long lines of railway. with perfect
safety, SO that when the packages are
opened the specimens may be as plump
and fire n rs in the hour when they
We're taken from the tree. Apples are
commonly packed in barrels and pears
in half barrels, and to prevent any
rafting or shaking, or bruising in tran
sit, they mus be firmly pressed to-
gether. There is certain natural
elasticity in these fruits as they ap-
proach maturity, and before they be-
come soft, before which they are hard
er and unyielding. The kegs or barrels
before filing are placed temporarily
upside down. and the contents grad
ually and carefully laid in them, with
an occasional jarring to bring them
about an inch more than level full, the
lever pressure on the head and the
elasticity of the fruit making them
solid and unyiclding. The barrel Is
then turned right end up and the
directions marked on it for shipment.
They will then go safely thousand
miles or more, il the work has been
well performed.
Some packers, wishing to make the
fruit appear better in quality than 1t
really is, ''face" or ''plait" each pack
age with better specimens than the
average, by placing select ones ut the
bottom when about to begin filing the
kegs or barrels, bring these first to
view when the heads are reversed and
opened. This is deception, which no
honest man will practice. The first
fruit exhibited should be fair exhibi-
ton of the whole contents
The mistake is sometimes made OF
including single specimens, when too
ripe or soft, as in case of the packer OF
Bartlett pears, who saw one so fine and
handsome. although turning yellow
with ripeness, that he was tempted to
include it in the package. 1t had lost
its elasticity, and, becoming soft,
yielded to the pressure of the hard
pears around it, and was crushed and
destroyed by the jar of the railroad
This loosened the others, which in
turn Werc oruiSeu anu SPohCu- Inc
whole co ntents of the package thus be-
came bruised and worthless but this
was only small part of the loss to the
shipper, for the purchasers would try
no more Bartlett pears from so careless
q source
These remarks on shipping apples
and pears by the quantity, do not ap-
ply to packing small and select pears
in baskets and boxes for conveyance
by express, nor to choice specimens OF
apples, each of which is wrapped in
tissue paper for special markets -

POULTRY PICKINGS.

PEKrN ducks are best where there are

MUCH loss in eggs is often occasioned
by allowing the hens to lay outside the

should be washed clean as soon as they

II mean that have been amply re-
paid, said Janet, very much embar-
rassed. Think of how devotedly your
sister nursed me all the time l was laid
up with that dreadful rheumatic fever,
and how I have stayed on here, day
after day, since l got well"
''The fever was the result of your
plunge into the icy water after little
Ruey. 1t would have been ungrateful,
indeed, in Ida, not to have done all in
her power in return. Where do you
propose to go"
But the question was never finished,
| for, to Janets great relief, there was a
sound of gay laughter in the hall, and
Ida and Rosa came in, the latter draw,
ing on a pair of long undressed kid
| gloves of the latest shade of tan. Shf
was stylish looking girl, and Johr
| Humphreys eyes rested on her admir-

threw over his arm, with easy familiari

also admired her, wondered how any
man could help falling in love with
such a gay, fearless young creature
and, taking an opportunity when they
from the room.
The hall window commanded good

Janet, safely hidden from observation
by the heavy curtains, watched Johr
Humphreys as he helped Rosa into his
light buggy and gathering the reins in
his hand sprang in beside her with
some merry remark which the pale
watcher at the window could not hear.
'She has everything, everythingF'
murmured the poor, lonely little
woman; ''and IL have nothing. Oh,
why should things be portioned out so
unequally in this world! And yet how
foolish to repine. At my age 1 ought
to have more sense and courage"
But as she thought of her utter lone

must go forth among strangers, to be-
come an inmate of charitable institu.

broad window-seat, and cried until she

NO" and Janet Reeves sighed,

but for your kindness in keeping me
here the past six weeks, great deal of

"Well, we needn't talk of that" said
Mrs. Wayne, briskly. Lets go Back
to the subject of this Old Ladies'
home. John says it is lovely place,
and"
"You-you surely haven't mentioned
the subject to your brother?" inter
rupted Janet, red flush springing to
her pale checks.
Goodness. No! l wouldn't think
of such thing for a moment 1t isn't
a matter in which he would be at all
interested. But Beechwood is only
little way from the Old Ladies' home,
and, of course, he knows all about it.
l have heard him say it is perfect
paradise for old people--a big, old
fashioned house, almost hidden by
vines, and surrounded by old oaks and
beech trees Whyl there's John now;
come to take Rosa out driving, sup
pose. If you really sciSh to speak to
him about this project, Janet, or ask
him any questions, I'll"
''Oh, no, no! Not for the world!'
cried Janet, hurriedly, look, almost
of terror, in her brown eyes. 'As you
say, it would not interest him in the
least. Ida, promise me you won't
speak to him about it. I ask it as
special favor"
Certainly, l promise" answered
Mrs Wayne, with alacrity; and before
Janet had time to speak again the door
opened and John Humphreys came in.
He was a tall, fine-looking man of
about forty-fve years of age, with keen
blue eyes, heavy, dark mustache and
brown hair thickly strewn with gray.
Life had been very pleasant to him, al
ways; but love had played no part in it,
and he had repeatedly assured his sis
ter that he was too busy to find time
for love-making or matrimony. But
Mrs. Wayne felt sure that at last he
had fallen victim to the tender pas
sion, and inwardly rejoiced at the good
fortune which had made Rosa Burth-
not her guest, for Rosa was young,
beautiful, rich and charming, and
would make fitting mistress for Johns
handsome home, as well as an admir-
able sister-in-law.
Mr.. Humphreys shook hands with
Miss Reeves and nodded affectionately
at his sister.
''Miss Rosa ready?" he asked.
''rl tell her you have comes" and
Mrs. Wayne put down her worlx-a
piece of blue satin she was embroider-
ing-and went out,
Mr.. Humphreys walked TO the win
dow and stood there, staring out into
the garden. It was easy to find sub
jects of converse with Rosa Burthnot,
who was all life and spirit, but with
this shy, elderly spinster he found him
self tongue-tied.
You're better to-day, l hope, Miss
Reeves" he said at last.
''Oh, l am quite well now," she re-
joined, without looking at him, and ap-
