RrnVe and Ready.

Some years ago a company of biologists
were examining some rocks between Abe
rystwith and Llanrhystyd in Wales and
were making their way along a narrow
ledge of projecting rock on the face of a
cliff about 120 feet above the level of the sea.
AS they rounded a projecting angle the
rock on which the last man stood gave way.
He was whirled round, with his face to the
sea, but with instant presence Of mind
grasped the ledge at his side with one hand
and extended the other to the man in ad-
vance, who happened to be his uncle.
The latter grasped it, and thus held him
suspended for fully five minutes, having
only six inches of standing ground. This
was a breathless pause, during which the
uncle gazed upon a rock, some 80 feet be-
low, on which the young man was doomed
to be dashed
TON" he said at length, with perfect
calmness, there is but one way for it. I'll
save you, or we will die together. Loose
your hold of the rock"
Eyes, uncle, i" said the young man family
as be obeyed.
Then the uncle sprang into the air, and
with such force that the two turned several
somersaults, still linked together They
struck the water at some distance from the
rock and slowly and painfully regained
the shore.-Youth's Companion.

srThe Lamb Gourd," :"

The Duke of Holstein, in his "Trav-
els In Muscovy and Persia" 1885, gives
a full account of a wonderful vegetable
growing in the neighborhood of the city
of Samara, Russia, and known as the
Iamb or sheep gourd. " The duke says;
"It most resembles a lamb in all its
members and on that account is called
the lamb gourd. 1t changes place
in growing as far as the vine or stalk
will reach, and wherever it turns the
grass withers. When it ripens, the stalk
withers, and the outward rind is covered
with kind of hair, which the Musco-
vites use instead of fur. They showed
us some Of these skins, which were COW
cred with soft wool, not unlike that Of
a lamb newly weaned.
Scaliger also speaks of the lamb
gourd" in his works. In one chapter he
says that the queer vegetable continues
to grow as long as grass is plentiful,
but that when the grass falls the pore
creetyr dyes frome lac of nourishment "
He also says that the wolf is the only
animal that will feed upon it-St

How a Baltimore Lady Raised Money ts
Assist In Improving Church Property.
The ladies of Memorial Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter
are industriously working to improve
the church property. Some time ago
they got together, and after discussing
ways and means each pledged herself to
raise q certain sum of money within two
months The time having expired, q
meeting was held Tuesday night to re-
late experiences and to learn the result
of the various undertakings Each lady
returned her card with larger sum
than she pledged herself for
The methods used to raise the money
were almost as varied as the numbers
of the cards One lady made and sold
soup, the profit from which supplied
her with money to redeem her pledge
Another sold cakes, another candy, and
another made and sold dresses. One lady
adopted novel plan to raise the prom
ised money. She has not only strong
nerves and steady hand, but husband
who has great faith in her, for he has
allowed her to shave him and paid
her the price which he usually paid his
barber. The report does not say any
thing about the condition of his face
after the two months had passed By
the united efforts of the ladies large
sum was realized, which will be used
to renovate the church. -Baltimore Sun

again as flies late in June. A sec
ond brood of worms may be looked
for on the plants during July. 1t
is this second brood that appear
after the fruiting season that may
be exterminated by spraying with
Paris green, or, better still, with an
infusion of powdered white hel
lebore, made by sleeping one ounce
of the powder in three gallons of
boiling water, and applying in the
evening when it has cooled. The
location of strawberry beds should
be changed frequently, and the new
ones put as far from the old ones as
possible. This gives opportunity
for the development of one or two
good crops before insect and fungus
enemies get established among or
upon the plants.

We often hear complaints that
orchards do not bear as well as they
used to and we do not wonder at it.
In early days orchards were set out
in virgin soil stored with the accu-
mulated fertility of the centuries,
and the trees grew and bore fruit
prpfusely, OF late years the orchard
is usually set out on some plot that
has been under cultivation for years,
and usually the land is put in some
crop each year until the trees come
into bearing, in order to cultivate
them, and this exhausts the land
more or less. After the trees come
into bearing, no more attention is
paid to the orchard as a rule as far
as applying fertilizers, and in few
years it begins to fail. If proper
attention was paid to this matter,
orchards would bear as well now as
they did years ago. They should
be regularly fertilized and the
ground kept under cultivation. if
the crops taken off did not more
than pay for the labor put on them.
Potash in some form should be APP
piled and in those sections where
wood is used as fuel, all the ashes
should be put on the orchard, as
they are the cheapest source of pot
ash to the average farmer. Stable
manure is good and the blowing
under of clover will keep up the
supply of plant food. To make the
most profit out of an orchard it
should be as carefully cared for as
any other part of the farm.-Farm
and Home.

Mr.. w. N. Thomas, River View
Fruit Farm, La Grange, Mo, writes:
"a new enemy has appeared this
Spring in my strawberry beds. 1t
is a small, light green worm, which
is in great numbers on the under
sides of the leaves, eating them
full of holes or entirely devouring
them, and the plant soon after dies.
They are from one.fourth to three
fourths of an inch long, rather
slender, with a brownish colored
head. After shutdown they work
on top of the leaves as we'll as I'M
der, and when disturbed drop off
and curl up"
From the above description the
insect is without doubt the straw
berry slug-worm (emphytus macu-
latus). The parent flies appear
very early in the Spring, and the
females place their eggs in the leaf
stems in little Sits, which, by
means of the saw-like ovipostor,
are cut for their reception. The
larvae hatch early in May and de-
stroy the foliage as described, often
running the plantation. When full
grown they enter the ground and
inclose themselves in frail cocoons
for transformation, and appear

FARM Notes.
Orchard and Garden.


Dark cherries are best for ship
ping to market
A dilapidated orchard gives the
farm a rundown, forlorn appear
ance.
Often rot in trees may be stopped
by cutting off all decaying portions
to sound wood.
The first two or three years after
planting out are the most important
in the life of tree.
The five-shoveled cultivator is
good implement with which to cul-
tivate among the strawberries.
1t is claimed that alternating
varieties in the cherry and plum
orchard favors regular fruitage.
Currants if given good treatment
from the beginning, will continue
to bear fruit for Is years and not
lose their vigor.
One of the hest featiliZers for
the strawberry is unleached ashes
and ground bone. Work it thor
oughly into the surface soil.
An orchard thoroughly under
drained is always more healthy and
stand stands the changes of the
season better than one undrained.
Packages for small fruit should
be cheap enough to give away with
the fruit where sold, and at the
same time be neat, compact, clean
and readily handled.
In fruit growing as in other
things, it is the energetic, skillful
and painstaking manager that
makes money, while the slovenly
grower usually makes failure.
Apple trees can take care of them
selves and remain in a paying con-
dition by their vitality better than
the pear or peach, but no other tree
will pay better lor good care and
attention.
While coal ashes make a good
mulch, care must be taken to stir
up occasionally after rain, as they
are liable to such an extent as to
exclude the air, and in this way
prove an injury.
The hardy varieties of cherries
are the only kind of fruit trees that
can be recommended for wayside
planting, as they are not easily af-
fected by the tramping of stock or
passing of vehicles.
The direct gain from thinning is
the increased size and enhanced
market value of the fruit To this
may he added that by increasll g |
the size of the fruit we diminish
the weight of the seeds.
Where branches grow too thickly
they should be thinned, but it is
much better to rub off superfuous
shouts as they start than to permit
them to grow and then cut them off,
as the latter induces cumming.
In selecting varieties to plant it
is best to take the advice of some
good grower in the neighborhood,
as varieties that thrive well in one
locality will not always do we'll in
anothor The afest Milan IL Ia
plant only tried varieties.
1t is fair to return to the soil it's
just due, and if the grower will
adopt the practice of hauling a
good load of manure TO the orchard
for every thirty barrels of apples
taken from it the trees will be en-
abled to do their full duty year
after year.

Poor keeping butter is more the
result of poor methods of manu-
facture than of the quality of milk
and cream. Too much salt, too
much water, or too much cheesy
matter will cause it to spoil quick
