BUSY MEN AT ALI TIMES.

One of the best stands for blacksmith ing in this section Is the stand of Hud- son Brothers, close by the Watertown depot. In addition to q big trade in shoeing, they handle carriages, and do a big line of work in painting and repair ing. They attend personally to their business, anu this Is why, doubtless, they are kept so busy. Politeness, square dealing and good work are large features in the result, so hears your scribe.

The Kitchen Floor.

How many women are martyrs to
their kitchen floors? Scrubbing
them every week or Oftener, thereby
wearing out not only themselves but
the floors also. The water settles in
the cracks, causing decay, and the
first they know the kitchen needs re-
flooring. When it is SO easy to stain
a floor it is a wonder that anyone
tries to live on a bare one in it's nat
ural state. Any druggist will put up
a stain for a goOd-siZe room for so
cents, and if requested to do so, will
put in ''dryer" enough SO that the
stain may be applied after supper,
and will be dry enough TO walk Oh in
the morning. The floor should be
quite clean and free from grease be-
fore applying the stain, and if it is
very dirty it should be secured with
soda or potash; but once stained it
will never ne%d securing again: an oc-
casiOnal wiping with the mop, dipped
in clear water (if troubled with flies,

other DIRT can be absorbed. Walnut

Making CLAW Farms Pay.

While nothing is more discourage
ing to the novice than a rundown
clay farm, it has more elements of
hopefulness than one that is equally
unproductiye and much easier to
work. Clay land is never SO badly
exhausted as it seems to be- Often
thorough cultivation that will mellow
che surface will bring good crop
from land that has for years produced
not enough to pay for harvesting.
But the tillage must be supplemented
by thorough undertaking, else after
the first soaking the soil becomes as
hard, cloddy and unproductive as be-
FORE In draining clays, it is good
plan to lay the tile deep and then fill
up with small stone half the depth OF
the ditch The effectiveness of I'M
derdIalns on clay land is increased
year by year as the drained soil is
frozen deeper each winter, and thus
loosened so that it will hold more
water without becoming clodded.

Hints on Planting Fruit Trees.

Better plant late than not at all.
Nurserymen dig up Il lot of trees of
varieties most i'm demand and heel
them in. This is dome early in the
season, and has the effect of retard-
ing the starting of the trees, and
they are ready for the immediate
filling Of orders. If trees shrivel
in transit dig Il trench, lay in the
trees, filling n the soil SO that it will
come in contact with every part OF
the bark. In five days, or week,
trees that are apparently past remedy
will become plump and quite re-
stored. After planting, place u
mulch over the roots. A "mulch" is
any material that placed on the soil,
will prevent evaporation; it's action
being mechanical, many different
substances are used; litter, straw,
marsh, or salt hay; leaves, with a
little soil sprinkled on, to hold them
in place; chips, or tan bark, and even
small stones may be used. After all,
a most effective mulch is Il layer of
fine dry earth. This is secured by
working the soil of the orchard with
a cultivator, or some other nipple
ment that will keep the surface loose
aud light. 1t will keep weeds in sub

Growing Tomatoes.

Set tomatoes in Il warm, sunny
place, with soil light and deep, but
not too rich, says the Orange Judd
Farmer. Plant about three feet apart
each way, and as they grow, watch
carefully and pinch Off nearly all side
shoots, allowing only a few strong
ones to- remain AS the plants grow,
tie securely to stout stakes about
three feet high. When they reach
that height pinch out the top to pre-.
vent further growth, and watch side
shoots more closely than ever. In
this way the remainder of the plant
grows strong and vigorous, and bears
it's fruit in larger clusters. One thus
pruned, standing beside one unpruned
with other conditions the same, will
bear half as much more fruit, of larger
size and finer flavor, and will ripen
more evenly and week or ten days
earlier than the other.

Anthony Trollope's American Charac.
fprS

Trollope's attitude toward Americans
is thus touched upon by Henry James {:
His American portraits, by the way
(thev are several in number), are al
ways friendly; they hit it off more
happily than the attempt to depict
American character from the European
point of view is accustomed to do /;
though, indeed, as we ourselves have
not yet learned to represent our types
very tinely-are not apparently even
very sure what our types are-it is per-
haps not to be wondered at that trans
atlantic talent should miss the mark.
The weakness of transatlantic talent,
in this particular, Is apt to be want of
knowledge; but Trollope's knowledge
has all the air of being excellent,
though not intimate. Had he indeed
striven to learn the way to the Ameri-
can heart? No less than twice and,
possibly even oftener has he rewarded
the merit of scion of the British aristoc-
racy with the hand of an American
girl. The American girl was destined
sooner or later to make her entrance
into British fiction, and Trollope's treat
ment of this complicated being is full
of good humor and of that fatherly in
diligence, that almost motherly sym
patty, which characterizes his attitude
throughout toward the youthful fem
mime. He has not mastered all the
springs of her delicate organism, nor
sounded all the mysteries of her con-
versation. Indeed, as regards these
latter phenomena, he has observed a

server. I got to be thinking if any
