KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due tc It's presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of aperfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

FARM TELEPHONE

ing over the drumhead around the
the corners
You must use brass or copper wire.
We pay so cents for a spool of 800 feet.
l tried a nice, smooth iron or steel wire
for one line, and it worked just as we'll
at first, and as it cost but 10 cents for
800 feet, I thought l had made a valu-
able discovery; but in a week Or two
the wire broke and after repeated
patching we were obliged to give it
up. We have had very little trouble
with the copper wire, and have not had
to repair it at all for a year or more at
a time.
In putting the box up we screw the
projecting ends of the strips to a door
or window casing at one end lat B and
d. and then set spools behind the
other ends Of the strips lat C and E..
We attach the wire to the drumhead
by passing it through the center and
then through a button mold, n, an inch
in diameter. This distributes the
pressure over a large enough space SO
that there is no danger of tearing it.
The wire should be stretched SO tight
Is to depress the center of the drum
head about an inch, and if at any time
the tension gets slack it should be
frightened. Keep the wire from rest
ing against the wood where it passes
through the hole into the house. This
a be done by driving three or four
nails around it, leaving the heads out
so you can tie strings to them, and
pass them around the wire SO as to
keep it in the center of the hole. Set
the poles to which the wire is to be at
tached a little out of line, SO the wire
when stretched will be a few inches
from them, and then hold it in place
by a short cord or loop of wire at
tached to the pole. If the wire passes
through a tree top or hedge, see that
the branches are cut away where they
would rest on the wire. 1t seems to
me that these directions are plain
enough so that anyone can put up a
satisfactory telephone. Waldo +.

TRELLIs FOR BERRY BUSHES.

danger here lies chiefly in neglect to
do the work thoroughly and in proper
season. / do dislike to see the tangled
masses of prickly branches SO often
found in larger patches For the home
garden, however, there is no excuse to
allow this state of affairs. A good
trellis can easily be provided for the
small patch of berry bushes, and it will
pay many times its original cost in the
greater attractiveness of the garden, in
convenience of gathering the fruit, and
in satisfaction generally. Make your
arrangements for another fruiting sea-
son accordingly. The illustration of
trellis shows how Mr.. Charles Green
imagines plants of the Loudon (now
claimed to be one of the best of red
raspberries) to appear when supported
by the trellis. American Gardening.

ONE of the most important items in

to keep them dry and at even temper

ing.
How CAN cider be kept sweet? asks
a subscriber. Place it in a stone
glazed jug. Set the jug in boiling
water and keep it there until the
cider comes to a boiling point. Then
remove. cork the jug and seal it.
In keeping onion sets through the
winter it should be remembered that a
cool, dry temperature is the most essen
tial item. If dry when stored away
and kept dry at an even temperature
they can be kept without injury.
WINTER pears require careful hand
ling and cool storage. The quality is
not at its best unless properly ripened.
They can be laid in shallow drawers
or on shelves where good ventilation
and an even temperature are secured.
The quality, when ready for use, de.
ponds largely upon the management.

Commencing Sunday, December 2, 1894,
the IRON MOUNTAIN ROUTE will inau-
gurate a Fast Mail train between st. Louis
and points in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas
and the Southwest. This train, which will
be a veritable 't1yer," will leave st. Louis
8 g. M, after the arrival Of the Fast Mail
complement, will carry Pullman Buffet
Sleeping Cars and Tourist Sleeping Cars
destined to California points. This new
schedule will hasten the mails into the
Southwest by from eight to fifteen hours
over the present time, and keep fully abreast
with the passenger service of the day. The

some quiet spot in the yards at st. Louis.

Shipping Fruit In Gas.

An experiment is TO be tried in ship.
ping California fruit in carbonic acid
gas, in order to save the expense of
refrigerator cars which, from the state
to Chicago, cost 1928 each. Growers
who have made the test assert that if
fruit is surrounded with this gas all
decay and deterioration are arrested
and the flavor of the fruit not i'm
paired. An ordinary car has been
zinc lined SO as to be practically air
tight. 1t will be filed with fruit and
the gas introduced, obtained from a
abandoned quicksilver mine near San
Jose. A condenser filed with the
liquefed gas will be placed in the car
to supply any possible leakage

then stir in half a tablespoonful OF
flour; stir until the -four browns, then
add a gill of broth or water, an ounce
OF fresh butter and the juice of half a
lemon. Stir until the becomes
rather thick, pour over the chops and

Preserved Apples: Weigh equal
quantities of good brown sugar and of
apples, peeled and sliced thin, allow

pounds of sugar; skim it well and boil
until quite thick; add the apples and
the grated peel of one or two lemons
and two or three pieces of white GIN
ger root; boil until the apples look
clear and yellow. This will keep for
years, is the testimony Of one who has
used it. and is an especially nice way
when apples are plenty to keep some
for future use.-Western Rural,
-Buckwheat Gr1ddle Cakes: Put
three pints of warm water into a stone
pot or jar, add a gill of bakers yeast,
or an inch square of turnpike cake dis

a nice batter, beat it perfectly smooth,
then cover it and set it in a moderately
warm place until morning; a large
handful of cornmeal may be put with
the flour, and it is by many persons
considered an improvement.-Farmer's
Voice.
The Queens Sponge: The yolks

separately and well. Add one cup of
sugar to the yolks and beat again. Add
the juice of half a lemon to four whites,
also a pinch of salt. Fold the whites
lightly into the yolks and sugar. Sift

hour in a moderately quick oven.
Frost with the white of the fifth egg

mouth" provided it is not spoiled in
baking, for the baking of all cake is
half the battle. Farm and Home.
Burberry Sauce with Sweet Apple:
Half a peck of barberries, two quarts
of molasses, one peck of sweet apples.
Pick over the barberries, to remove the
stems and leaves; wash them, and put
on to boil with water enough to float
them. Add the molasses, and cook until
the berries are tender. While these are

Piles. Skim out the barberries and cook
the apples in the strip, as many as can
be cooked conveniently. When tender

next morning heat all together again
and put away in a large stone jar.
Scald it occasionally and it will keep
without sealing.-Orange Judd Farmer.

A New Way of Keeping Fruit.

It is stated that experiments have
been made in keeping fruit in jars COW
cred only with cotton batting, and
that at the end of two years the fruit
was sound. The following directions
were given for the process: Use crooks,
stone-bottom jars or any other con-
venient dishes. Prepare and cook the
fruit precisely as for canning in glass
jars, fill your dishes with the fruit
while it is yet hot, and Immediately
cover with cotton batting, securely
tied on. Remember that all putrefac-
ton is caused by the invisible crea-
lures in the air. Cooking the fruit ex-
pels all these, and as they can not pass

there is money in plum growing. says
the American Cultivator. But the
grower must understand how to raise
the strictly frst-class fruits. Black
knot must be controlled by cutting il
out as soon as it appears, and the trees
must be given culture. and not simply
planted and then neglected.
It may be that plnms are not more
generally raised because of the diff
culties attending the raising of these
fruits. In many parts of the country
it seems almost impossible to raise
good ones, but where they do well
under neglect they are certainly sus-
ceptible of great improvement. A
good plum tee of the Lombard type
ought to produce from two to four
bushels of choice fruits, and this means
that each tree would yield an annual
income of from So to S15. Plum trees
are generally small, and a great many
can be grown on one acre. so that the
profit from an orchard of this size is
feally large.
A good method of starting a plum
orchard is to use the place for a chick
en- range. The work of attending to
one would not interfere with the

vantage and double profit. The trees
should be set in holes literally sup
piled with bones, either whole or
ground, and the most salable varieties
are the Lombard, Niagara and Dam
SON, although other good plums could
be selected from the Imperial Gage,
Purple Egg, Green Gage and Yellow
Egg. After the trees are planted far
enough apart so that sunlight can be
admitted to each one freely, the chick
ems can be turned on the range The
trees situated between ten and twelve
feet apart will afford the shade the
chickens need.
The ground should be plowed and
narrowed Or otherwise turned over
once or twice a year, and oats, wheat
or grass sown in it. The chickens, OF
course will pick most of these seeds
up, and scratch for them. But all
grain fed to them should be scattered
around in the plowed range, which will
set them to work scratching. Some of
them will grow up and provide free
food for poultry. This also keeps the
sol, constantly stirred. which is bene-
fetal to the trees. The chickens will
also pick off worms and insects from
the treesa and keep them free from all
such pest ravages. The droppings of
the hens enriches the soil with the
very best fertilizer.
The trees then only need the further
attention Of thinning out fruit a little
and the pruning in the fall. Two
thirds of the seasons wood growth
should be cut back after the leaves
have fallen each fall. Black knot
should be cut out and burned as soon as
it shows itself. A fine orchard of fruit
trees could thus be grown and they
would prove very profitable. The
fruit is easier to pick and handle than
apples or pears and generally more
remunerative.
