Washing Flannels.

NV l'Ih Ledger.
NnN reliable dealer who can be made
{" talk on the subject, will tell YOU
that there j. no damned made that can
h' warranted not To- shrink, and that
all the recipes and methods aud talk
are the shccrcst nonsense, so far as
tlu- one point i concerned.
There nrc certain facts. however, in
regard Ia the handling of wool goods
that have much To do with keeping
them IN good condition. Flannels
must never receive any hard rubbing,
hni are much better If allowed To
dram dry without wringing. House
keepers wh" find the shrinking OF their
tlhnn"l~ great annoyance, will do
well Ia try washing them in warm
@"arsuds, raising them up and down
~ the water and very gently pressing
them until they are clean, then allow
ing them to drain moment, after
which they are rinscd in light suds,
hung up hv the bands or shoulders and
allowed to drain until dry. Flannels
should never hc ironcd. The better
way - tu fold them when very slightly
damp and lay them under Il heavy
weight until pressed smooth. Belts or
bands may bc pressed with rather
cold iron. or if carefully smoothcd out
even this may he dispensed with.
l, may hc said in this connection
that the finer the flannel the more IL
able IT j. to shrink
Common grades are much more dur
able, and those having large proper
llun "i '"tiun are most durable of all.
81 one du's not object To wearing cot
ton, it j. undoubtedly the best to buy
those grades which have only II mod
crate amount of pure wool in their
composition, but it is by far the wisest
way IN families where fine flannels are
worn, to hand down from age to age
such garments, allowing the smaller
children To wear those which are too
small Tor the older ones. II one gets
good start, there is little trouble in
keeping the family well supplied by
the purchase of few good suits each
longer il they are changed often. Long
wearing in one position draws the
threads 50, that they rarely return to
their natural condition. Carefully
washed in water Of moderate tempera
turc aud dried as suggested, reasonably
satisfactory wear may he expected
from all ordinary grades of this class

Horticultural Notes.

The following notes on fruit are
from the columns of the Massachusetts,
Ploughmdn:
Peaches and Strawberries-No fruits
are more popular than peaches and
Strawberries; but no fruit is quite as
useful, all things considered, as the
apple.
Too Much Fruit-When fruit can be
grown as easily as grass or grain how
much pay will growers get? Some
difficulties seem desirable in order to
prevent annual gluts.
The Tree Agent-The tree agent is
a good deal of a nuisance, but operates
mainly on ignorant and credulous
grewers. A man well posted as to COM
Smon varieties of fruits and the tricks
OF nurserymen will rarely give an agent
the chance to impose upon him.
Spraying misunderstanding orch
ards with insecticides is recent prac-
tice and of great value. 1t is, Of
course, most easily applied to young
trees, and indeed these should always
have the best of care, beuause they
will need less care as they become old
er.
Strawberries-An annual crop of
first-class strawberries need never be
expected without An abundance of
water. The grower must be prepared
to supply it when the clouds do not.
Water, manure and clean culture are
of the utmost Importance in straw
berry growing.
Spraying Fruit--The man who re-
fuses to spray his fruit trees because it
makes too much trouble" had better
so out of the business. There is not
much success without trouble, and con-
siderable Of it. Even man born rich
has trouble to hold on to his property,
and does not always succeed.
Fruit Problems-The experiment
stations ought to settle many problems
in fruit culture, but it is to be feared
that they do not. Perhaps it is too
early yet, as it takes many tests to set
tie some questions. The best way to
plant and grow strawberries should be
subject for attention.
Visit Your Neighbors-Fruit grow
ers should visit each others orchards
or plantations quite often, to note i'm.
provements, and sometimes to assist
and encourage new beginners. In
many cases an energetic grower re-
turns well satisfied with his own work
after seeing what others are doing and
their shabby ways.
Attractive Fruit-Large, handsome
fruit is always more attractive and
saleablc than small specimens. Thin
ming out heavily laden trees will al
most always make the remaining spec
linens larger and finer, sometimes
doubling the size. In addition the
drain on the tree is much less. Hence
thin out next time.

Some Things Not Generally Known

We are all wrong as to dates. The
Chinese reckon this to lie the year 7 :
9l0,34l.
There are 4S7 schools in Irkutsk
Siberia. The population OF Siberia is
nearly 100000.
Russians use the goose for the same
purpose that we use the turkey. But
they have no Thanksgiving Day.
There are said to be over $4,000 In
dians in the United States who can
read English, and over 10000 who can
read Indian languages.
Belgium has Il population OF $780,
0l3; Kansas has population of ,247,-
096, yet she is so large that seven
countries the size of Belgium could be
laid down within her border and yet
she would have 100000 square miles Of
unoccupied territory left.
\ Paris letter says: Umbrellas
are now made of paper in France.
They are made water proof by gela-
tined bi-chromate of potassium.
This may be all right, but the kind of
an umbrella needed is one that the
other fellows will not steal in case of
an emergency.
There are people who can plot bet
ter than they can execute or develop.
a sign on a London shop reads
/" Plots for novels or short stories.
Prices reasonable" The occupant of
the shop is said to have a rare talent
for derising plots, but no great power
OF narration, so he sells his ideas.
The pigeon has less credit than it
deserves. The Chicago Tribune says
There is great deal of talk about
military eagles. There were the eagles
of Rome and there is our American
eagle. Yet in war a carrier pigeon can
do more useful work than all the
eagles that ever spread themselves.
The Boston branch of the Russian
Nihilist Society has started secret
messenger" off with dispatches to st. |
Petersburg. What they had against
the poor fellow is not clear, but the |
dispatch that will probably astonish
him is the one that shows the neat |
ness with which he will be hustled off |
to Siberia when the Russian Bear gets
a paw on him.
When Shetland was annexed to the |
Scottish crown the islands cont t:ined |
about 1000 Udallers, all independent
land owners, who held their lands, |
they believed, from "God and heaven
only" were free of any tax or duty |
whatever on the lands they inclosed;

who met and acted with the
Jarl, or governor, at the great annual

knowledged no authority except that
OF the king, and even to him they
every now and then reluctantly sub

Workingmen and Farmers.

Workingmcn will do well to re.
member the words uttered by Governor
Campbell in "a late speech in Ohio,
WHEN he said: "Our commerce is
swept from the seas under protection
and the splendid palaces of the pro-
tcctcd manufacturers are crowding the
hills. while the imported Huns, Italians
and iiohemians are displacing Ameri-
can citizens" Farmers and others
should remember the statement of
Governor Campbell that Republican
Congressman Butterworth had said
IN & Dngress that me could not count
upon the fingers of his hands the men
who had added more to their wealth
IN the last ten years than had been
added To the wealth of all the agri-
culturists IN any of the States of the
Union Governor Campbell also
called To memory the startling facts
that when Egypt went down 2 per
cent. Of her people owned 81 per cent.
OF her wealth, and when Persia went
down per cent. of her population
owned the land. All should remem-
Der the wonderful and prophetic dec
laration Of President Lincoln cited by
Governor Campbell, which was as
follows, AS result of the war,
corporations have been enthroned
an era of high prices will follow, and
the money power will endeavor to
prulong its reign until all the wealth
IL aggregated in the hands of a few
and the Republic is lost" Surely
the people should make an earnest
effort to stop paralyzing tariff taxa
ton, and for time at least, dethrone
the present degenerate Republican
party.
