Street and Water Board.

c. c.. Jewell and a number of property
owners in the vicinity of Chestnut ave-
nue. and Third street. attended the
meeting of the Street and Water Board

The contract to lay the new 12-inch
water main IN the old Fourth district
was awarded to L. II. McGovern this
morning. The new main will so supply
the Hi that there is no likelihood of a
scarcity of water occurring again, break
ing mains or not The main will run from
the reservoirs from Sandford place and
Manhattan avenue under the east side
of the Boulevard to North street. and
then connect with the water main at
that point. Water will be forced up the
Hill through the new main and run down
hill through the old main, thus increas-
ing the force of water in that locality.
The broken main has been repaired and
water is now being pumped through it.

Mrs. Hall Game is a sympathetic and
pleasing personality. She delights in
her husbands work, and always reads
his manuscripts before he sends them
to his publisher. Not the least inter
esting fact about Mr. Hall Game is
his former intimacy with Dante Ga
briel Rossetti who was the first to dis
cover his genius, and who persuaded
him to take to writing. In the study
where all the most famous of his nov
els have been written are Rossetti's
sofa and armchair, and he possesses
many most curious letters from the
great pre-Raphaelite.
Unlike many latter-day novelists, Mr..
Hall Caine considers that the reading
of a story, and also the writing of fic-
ton, should be an epoch in a mans
life, and should instruct as we'll as
amuse, having always an influence for
the highest and best. A prominent
member of the Society of Authors, Hall
Game may be said to have practically
abolished the English three-volume
novel; that is, so far as the works of
well-known writers are concerned.

FALL MANAGEMENT OF REEFS.

Fall management of bees is thus
commented upon by Mr.. B. Taylor, OF
Minnesota, in the Farm, Stock and
Home for August /:
We do not intend to repeat last years
disastrous experience in having only
old bees in the colonies to commence
the five or six months that interveneS
between housing in the fall and the
rearing of mature brood in the spring.
We are giving our colonies large room
in the brood-chambers hoping to have
them filed with fall honey, and brood
rearing kept up as late as possible, so
the hives may have plenty of winter
stores and be filled with young bees
that will live until younger bees can be
reared next spring to take their place.
even if drouth or other causes should
prevent flow of nectar We will feed.
each colony 8 or 10 ounces of sugar
syrup, made by mixing equal weights
of granulated sugar and water We
will give this each evening from Aug
ust 10 to September 10. The expense
for sugar will not exceed so cents per
colony. We have had poor honey crops
now for several seasons, and many
have quit the business, but we are not
discouraged, as we have full faith that
old, but sometimes seemingly tickle,
Dame Nature, will return to her staid
ways again.

WHAT IS a cow woRrHe

Professor c. S. Plumb, director of
the Indiana station, reports a week s
test of a Jersey cow owned by the
station that showed 24S.4 pounds of
milk and 1876 pounds of fat in the
seven days The cream was also
churned and made II pounds 1874
ounces of commercial butter sailed
one ounce to the pound. The COW was
purchased at public sale in Indi-
annapolis in 1890 for $500.
Such a COW would be cheap at 5000,
even if no account was taken of the
value of her calf. The amount of but
ter she would make over the cost of
her feed per year would easily amount
to the interest on $500. We have never
been satisfied with the way the aver
age farmer estimates the value of
good COW. We have heard many
man say he would never pay 500 for
a cow, because there was never a cow
that was worth it. The first principle
a business man has to learn in getting
his financial education and Judgment is
that money is worth no more in mar
ket than what it will bring in interest
The interest on 500 is IS. a COW will
produce 400 pounds of butter in a year
at 20 cents a pound pays for her keep
anu 94V over. InlS is Ine interest at b
per cent on S66666. Yet there are
of men who would not pay
800 for such a. COW. Any investment
that would pay the original sum in
vested in two years and a half would
be snapped very quickly by any good
fnancier. Good business understand
ing and financial judgment are as
greatly needed in this business of
dairy farming as in banking.-Hoard's

THE FRUIT CURE.

''There is scarcely a disease to which
the human family is heir but the suf-
ferings therefrom would be greatly
relieved or entirely prevented by the
use of fruits, which are now so gen
orally forbidden. Many diseases would
be conducted to a safe termination by
the free use of fruits. because of the
acids they contain. When our troops
were fighting the Seminoles in Florida
many were sick with diarrhoea and
dissintery. and cured these disorders
by stealing from the hospitals into the
fields, and eating fruit, blackberries
especially. I have sent several chill
dren suffering with cholera infantum
and with dysintery to the peach or
chards of Delaware, with most graft
flying results; and where they could
not be carried to the orchards to pick
and eat the fruit fresh from the trees,
1 have had the little slfferers fed with
sound fruit with equally good results.

ADVICE TO A FARMER WITH cows
A Suggested Change.

Now that milk raising for city con-
sumption is hardly profitable and butter
making on the farm has seen its best
days. would it not be well the next time
you go to town to see the ice-cream man
and the summer boarding house keeper
and see if you cannot make a deal on
the cream question? A man with a sep
arator, good cream trade and young
pigs to feed skimmilk to is in an envi-
able position. Some one has said the
farmer ought never to market anything
unless he had two profits in it, For in
stance. he raises hay and has a profit
in growing the hay, then let him feed the
to which the hay is fed. Then when
he sells the animal for meat he has two
profits, one in the hay and one in the
has three profits, one in the cow feed
that he raises. one in the milk from the
COW and one in the meat made from the
milk fed to pigs.

BUY TREES DIRECT FROM THE
NURSERY.

The first cost of trees prevents many
from planting orchards and this is not
to be wondered at, when we compare the
prices of trees at the nursery with the
prices asked by tree agents, who in gen
eral demand three times as much as at
the nurseries. In the fall of 81 bought
trees of an agent, paying an average
of 81 each. This agent secured many
orders from my neighborhood and sent
in a clubbing order to be delivered the
following spring by another agent. The
trees wer9 received in one large bundle,
made up of smaller bundles, each con-.
tanning an individual order. When
opened the smaller bundles were not pro-
tected from the sun, as they should have
been. They showed evidence of careless
handling and the result was that only
one-half lived, although they We're given
most careful treatment in setting and
after cultivation. In the spring of 1898

These came carefully packed, without a.
limb broken or a root bruised. Every one
of these are now living. They cost me
35c- each including express charges. Now
I believe that every farmer would do we'll
to send to reliable nurseries for their
catalogues and deal directly with them.
It is the safest and most economical
course. A number of reliable firms adj
vertise in this paper. They sell good
trees for one-half to one-fOHrth the price
demanded by tree agents.-George c.
