Fly Fishing.

There is no doubt that certain flies are

of day and conditions of weather, but a

Color has more allurement than form
and as there are not so many colors there
is no use for many flies. The general
rule is for light flies ON dark days and

GATHERING AND PACKING
APPLES.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The little time spent
in climbing a ladder and picking the
apples off carefully into a basket and
not shaking them on the ground, would
well pay for the trouble in not having
them all bruised and unfit for market.
After they have been carefully gath
cred, do not dump them all into the
same barrel. A mixture of all kinds
and classes will never do for the mar
lIe6. A little time spent in sorting
them over, carefully selecting the finer
specimens for one b trrel, the ordinarily
good for another, and those only fit
for vinegar or home use, would well
repay for the time spent IN the fine
condition in which the consumer would
find them. Place them into barrels
carefully, not letting them fall in,
shaking them lightly two or three
times while packing When full make
the top layer as level as possible, letting
it rise a little higher than the top of
the barrel, so that when the head is
put on 1t will slightly dent them. Never
use anything IN bottom or top, or can
vass for a head. They should be so
tightly packed that they would have
no chance to rattle about when shaken.
It is better to let them stay in open
piles a week or two before packing, as
some of the exterior moisture will
escape, making them less liable to de
cay. A simple cOntrivance is often
used by packers for placing the head
In position. 1t consists of a plank on
which the barrel stands, into one end
of which is dovetailed an upright piece
of plank a little higher than the top of
the barrel, A slot is cut in it's upper
end, and a pin uns across to receive
the end Of the lever, which NAV be six
or eight feet long. A round board is
used as a follower to be placed upon
the head; and across this board is
placed a block of wood about three or
four inches fat on the lower side. on
which the lever is placed. A moderate
pre- at the end of the lever will
bring the head in position, wnen it is
fastened by driving down the lOosened
hoops and mailing all securely. A
block nailed to the side of a hO use, tree.
or anN thing that will hold the end of
the lever will answer. Place the plank
down and put the barrel on. letting the
lever rest under the block. Mark every
oarrel with the name and quality of
iruit IN it. In this year Of high prices
farmers cannot afford to lose sale on a
single bushel of fruit from lack of

CHARCOAL FOR HOGS.

Editor Farmers VOice:-We have
but little doubt that charcoal is one of
the best known remedies for the dis
ordered state INFO which hogs drill,
usually having d~isordered bowels, all
the time giving off the worst kind of
excavations. Probably the best form
in which charcoal can be given is the
form of burnt corn-perhaps, because
when given in other forms the hogs do
not get enough. A distillery was
burned In Illinois, about which a large
number of hogs were Kept. Cholera
prevailed among these hogs somewhat
extensively. In the burning of build
ings a large amount of corn was con-
stunned. To this burned and partially
burned corn the hogs had access at
will, and the sick commenced recover
ing at once and a large portion of them
got well. Many farmers have practiced
feeding scorched corn, putting it into
the stove or building a fire upon the
ground. placing the ears of corn upon
1T, leaving them till pretty well charred.
Hogs fed on still slops are liable to be
attacked by irritation of the stomach
AND bowels, coming from too free gen
Grafton of acid, from fermentation of
food after eaten. Charcoal. whether it
be produced by burning corn or wood.
Will n~eutralize the acid in this wav re
moving the irritating cause. The char
coal will be relished to the extent OF
getting rid of the acid, and beyond that
IL may not be. Hence it is well to let
the wants of the hog be settled by the
hog hlmself.-JOhn Hobbs, in Formers
Voice.

THE IMPENDING CRISIS.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The indebtedness of
the United States is estimated at fifteen
billion dollars with annual interest n
billion dollars, making eighty million
dollars drawn from the channels of
trade each month and gOrged into bank
vaults; nine million mortgages cover
ing the best property North, South,
East and West These have lost their
credit and a borrow no more money.
Their neighbOrs seeing the fix the debt
Ors are in, refuse 20 mortgage their
property to get money. The price of
the leading products of the farm are
fixed in England by the creditor class,
below the cost of production, and the
farmers are on the road t bankruptcy.
AS long as there were rich lands to
mortgage, the money could be kept In
the channe S of trade. Credi, ia ex
h~austed, prices below the cost of pro
ductiOn, and there is nothing inside to
get this money out of the bank vaults

schoolhouse last Thursday were pleased
and entertained with what they saw and

The room was filled, every seat being

gold is more valuable than iron," was
spirited and full of good points.
The affirmative was supported by
Edith Evans, J. NJ. Whited, Nellie Mac

The negative was upheld by Mamie
