Ho Knew Too Much.

"Mr. Smarte," said the head Of the
firm, II happened to overhear your
criticisms, this morning, of the manner
IN which business Is carried on here.
You appear to be laboring under a
mistaken idea. AS matter Of fact.
we are not running this house to make
money. Not at all. We carry on this
business simply as a school for the
instruction of young men. But as yol,
seem to know so much more about
business than we do, it would be only
wasting your time to keep you here.
The cashier will settle with you. What
is our loss Is your gain. Boston

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cut off all masked, broken and
bruised roots and ragged ends when
transplanting tree.
All through winter especially che
heaviest feed of every kind OF farm
stock should be at night.
If your hens are not laying now,
there must be something radically
wrong in the condition of things.
They are probably too fat.
One point in favor of turning up
the soil in winter is that the cutworms
are brought to the surface and ex.
posed, which destroys them.
Leave slight basin around the new
tree and mulch with any coarse dead
vegetation available to retain moist
ure. In dry spells water freely.
If your hens lay soft or thin shelled
eggs, they need limo in some form.
They must, like other workmen, have
material to work with, in order to
turn out first class goods.
There are always few warm days
when the frost comes ont of the ground,
and on some lands blowing can be
done. If landis plowed, and the frost
ponetrates. the Jumps and clods will
be broken, and, if preferred, the land
may be cross plowed in the spring,
which will permit of thorough har-
rowing.
Cut off all large limbs and head back
of the body of transplanted tree to
the height ut which it is desired to
branch. Ii there are small twigs near
the top after heading back, leave them
to furnish early leaves. These will aid
the negotiating functions of the tree
and especially promote root formation,
while advetitious buds are being pro
duced.
The holes in which trees are set on.
should be dug large enough to admit
the roots in their natural position ant
deep enough to admit of one foot Of
rich top soil mixed with thoroughly
rotted manure below the roots. Sift
fine soil amongst the roots, press i
firmly to them, pour a pail-full o.
water in to settle the soil naturally
around the roots, and fill only as high
as the soil stood arolrd the tree in it;
natural hone.

THE SECOND LIFE.
PURGATOHY AND PARADISE COM
PARED BY A MAN WHO
HAS SEEN BOTH.

Miracle worked in the Rural Reccsses
OF Borodino Creates - Sensation.
(From the Eoenin5 Ne'cs, Syracuse, NJ r.
Albeit Applebee was Il very sick man. He
had been ailing for months and had been
compelled to remain home, unable to attend
to his business. His friends stood or sat
about the few small stores in the village Of
Borodno and discussed his sal condition.
Apple5ee was a carpenter. and good one
too, but since his strange maladv overlook
him he had not shown any dispotion to do
any work. Lfo had lost its charms for him,
he became misanthropo and lost in every
thing His friends advised him and the To-
cal doctors tried their skill on him but it was
of 10 avail. Although they no doubt dag
noscd his case correctly, he grew worse
despite their efforts.
But he recovered and it has made such a
stir in the small town that a Ne,cs reporter
was sent out to Borodino to investigate. Ha
drove over and found Mr. Appiebee hard at
work on the roof of a house he was building
'Well it was just this way" began tho
carpenter, who is a goOd-looking man of
about Atty summers. "In tho fall of 1899
had o siege of grip. It was pretty rough
time for mo rs | was worry SICK and L mover
expected to go out again except feet first in
coffin But recovered after n long sickness
but was lett with an almcnt which was quite
as dangerous and infinitely moro painful. l
had scrofula in my head for two years and u
hnf or over and there was a sickcnng dis
charge from my right ear. l took about
every medicine known to tho medical frater-
nifty but could get no benefit.
II was also troubled with u severe pain in
the stomach and indigestion, which made me
feel that life was not worth living. Last fall
l began taking n medicine known as DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, which
were recommended by friend whose wife
had road of them in some of the country
papers. But gave it a trial and was sur
priscd to find that it benefited me. l tried
more and persevered and at last, thank God,
was cured My ear has discontinued dis
charging and for the past three months 1
have boon perfectly well. l make these state
ments merely because l think the world
should be acquainted with this remarkable
remedy"
Several of Mr.. Applebees neighbors were
seen by tho reporter and thoy in turn OK
pressed their confidence in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills after seeing the wonderful change
they had wrought on him. One said the euro
wassimply wonderful as the man was Il total
wreck.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contains all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the Hood and restore shattered
nerves. They arc for sale by all druggists,

MAKE FARM LIFE ATTRACTIVE.

Give the boy or girl something in
which to take an interest on the farm.
Remove the young stock off the farm
and much of the pleasure of stock
raising will be gone. A few bantam
chicks will create an interest on the
part of child that owns them, and
the stepping to q more active in
terest in all classes of animals in the
future will be laid. Boys and girls
will stay on the farm without invita-
ton if their ea1ly days are made
pleasant and farm life attractiye.-

the garden, says Z. G. Fowler. With
this pronounced taste, one may safely
and correctly assume that our table ID
verv well supplied, all the season
through, with almost all the vegeta-
bles that can be grown in our latitude
Southern New York. OF course, we
cultivate all the standard vegetables
in great variety and we manage to
have O. succession of them, rs long as
the season will permit. We write this
brief article, not to talk of the ordin-
ary garden, but to call attention to a
few products that are not generally
grown.
The first of these is okra. In the
gardens of the South it is rs common
as any other growth and our Southern
friends have well learned it's worth.
But in Northern gardens it is seldom
seen. 1t is as easy to grow as hi;i OF
corn, and it will grow wherever co>n
grows. The edible pods are the part
used. They are valuable for stews,
for soups, for pickles, ragouts, etc.
They are very delicate in flavor, read
lily assimilating themselves to any
moro highly favored product, and are
quite mucilaginous in character. So
long as the pods are kept cut of,
others will come and a half dozen
plants will bear all through the sea-
son, sufficient for an average family.
Brussels sprouts Isl vegetable rarely
seen in our farm gardens. They are
as easily grown as head OF cabbage
their cultivation is tho same. They,
like the cabbage, are troubled in some
sections with insect pests, but they
are go delicate, to our taste fully
equaling cauli1ower, that we should
be loath to leave it out Of our gar den.
One advantages this vegetable pos
sesses is that it eau be kept late in the
winter and thus prolong the season
while adding to the variety for the
table.
In the list of material for salads,
those appetizing and graceful adjuncts
to meal, we should not be content
with lettuce, either the cabbage or
cos type, but should add fictitious, vet
ticost or corn salad, as il IS variously
called, and endhiye or chicory. Both
of these, when blanched white, are
constituents in salad and
are as easily grown as turnip.
Spinach has of late years become
quite generally grown and is a most
desirable article for "greens" -that
good old word which means SO much
and recalls so many pleasant memo
ries. We have found dandelion most
and palatahle addition to
the list of greens. 1t must be planted
in the spring and cultivated through
the season. Early the next spring you
can have rank growth of leaves for
"greens" or you can cover with straw
and blanch them, making OF them ex.
cellent salad material.
Kohl-rabi, to our taste, is the best
for the family. The hardest thing to
find in our market is a really good
turnip, and they are really not an
easy thing to grow. But the kohl
rabi, which is much the same in
flavor, is easy to grow and is invaria-
bly, delicate and sweet. With us it has
almost supplanted the turnip at our
table.
Sorrel we used for the first time last
season, and we think highly of it,
both rs q soup constituent or when
cooked and served like spinach. 1t is
very popular in France and is growing
in popularity here.-American Agri-
culturist.

CASTOR BEANS A REMEDY FOR PEST.


NIoles dislike castor beans, as do
gophers, and they have both given my
garden wide berth since CASTOR beans
were planted, although they had pre-
viously destroyed many valuable
bulbs and plants, writes L. M. Lucas
in the New England Homestead. In
1898 moles were unusually trouble
some. A few beans were tucked in
my bulb bed, favorite haunt for
moles, others in the rose border, some
near the violet bed and wherever the
pests were most troublesome. A few
moles had runs here and there, and 1
at once dropped a bean in their path.
Last year l planted only few beans
to keep them at bay, and not mole
has been seen. My moss roses were
being laid in state of devastation by
the red spider, but since the castor
vines have overshadowed the bushes
this tiny pest has also absented itself,
therefore l believe it detests the cas-
tor beans as all the animal world
seems to do. A noted horticulturist
writes: "There is hardly an instance
in natural history of II plant so univer-
sally detested by the animal world as
the castor-oil plant. No sort of bird,
beast or creeping thing will touch it.
1t seems to be o rank poison to all the
animal world. Even goat will starve
before biting leaf, aud a horse will
sniff at it and turn up his under lip,
as though it had the most detestable
odor ON the face of the earth. Army
worms and the locusts will pass it by,
though they may eat every other green
thing in sight. Even tho tobacco
worm will refuse to be fed on its
leaves" AS an exterminator of moles
and gophers, l never saw their equal.
| never had healthier or better-look-
ing plants with SO little trouble as
since | discovered the virtues of the
castor bean.
Castor beans form beautiful and
stately plants. They thrive in sun
shine or shade, and in any kind of
soil, but like all plants respond quick
ly to good treatment. Some varieties
attain a height of fifteen feet; others
grow three and four feet tall. They
are very decorative and rapid-growin9
plants, with their large palmate leaves,
beautifully veined and colored, and
gorgeous-hued seed pods. They are
extra fine for sub. tropical effects and
will transform any dim corner into Q
bower of beauty. -Four varieties are
especially handsome, and when grouped
together are very effective. Ricinu'
sanguineus has fresh green foliage
veined with dark red stalks and stems
and very brilliant red seed pods. 1
cambogiensis has dark bronze-like
leaves and seed pods, the stems almost
black. II macrocarpus has almost
white leaves. with dark stalks ant
pods. r gibsoni is of dwarf habit,
has very dark, purplish-red stalks an(
leaves. These plants are worthy of {
place in any garden. not only fol
beauty but for their great beneficial
properties.
