arranged with Mr.. Smith to introduce
1T and give share of the proceeds.
Every effort was made to raise stock
and even the twenty hills were allowed
to run. 1t was put on the market the
next spring with glowing description,
accompanied by testimonials from the
preacher, Squire Brown, and other
dignitaries, as well as the clipping from
the local paper.
Although the price was 50 a dozen
a considerable number of plants were
disposed of, mostly to nurserymen in
various parts of the country. Each
purchaser felt anxious to increase his
stock as fast as possible, and, year
later, forty times as many people had
a dozen of Johnnie Smiths new berry.
Up to this time no one had ever
fruited it to perfection but Johnnie
Smith. The next year, however, over
1000 people had it growing and ripen-
ing in their gardens. With few 1t

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

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

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

Farming in Argentine.


The London Times says: The eighty
fourth meeting of the Royal commits
sion on agriculture was held on Friday,
Mr.. Shaw Lefevre in the chair.
Mr.. D. ]. Brett, a rancho owner in
the province of Santa Fe, Argentine re-
public, was examined. He stated that
he had been in Argentina thirty-five
years and had had long experience in
agriculture and stock raising in that
country. Wheat growing in the repub-
lie was for the most part in the hands
of Italian colonists, though Swiss and
French immigrants were also engaged
in this industry. Some of the best
colonists were natives of the Basque
provinces. The colonists as body
were hard working community. They
labored over sixteen and seventeen
hours daily, including Sundays. The
women worked on the land, and the
children drove the plows as soon as
they were old enough. The soil was cas-
lily worked, and no manuring was nee
essary. Laborers were very little en-
ployed in the wheat growing districts
except for a few weeks during the
harvest. The bulk of the work was
done by the colonists and their fami-
lies. Occasionally laborers went out
from Italy to Argentina for the har-

Let home stand first before all other
things. No matter how high your am
bition may transcend its duties, no
matter how far your talents or your
influence may reach beyond its doors,
before everything else build up a true
home. BE not its slave; be not its
minister. Let it not be enough that it
is swept and garnshed, that its silver
is brilliant, that its food is delicious,
but feed the love in 1t. feed the truth in
it, feed thought and aspiration. feed all
charity and gentleness in it. Then
from its walls shall come forth the true
woman and the true man. who shall to-
gether rule and bless the land" Is
this an ovcr-wrought picture? We
think not. What honor can be greater
than to found such home? What dig.
nifty higher than to reign its undshon-
ored mistress? What is the ability tc
speak from public platform to large,
intelligent audiences, or the wisdom
that may command a seat on the
judges bench, compared to that which
can insure and preside over true
home, that husband and children "rise
and call her blessed?" To be the guild.

siton is higher honor than to rule an
empire. Mrs. II. W. Beecher.

A Strawberry That Failed.

Mr.. Smith has been raising strawber-
ries for ten years or more, writes Mr..
Crawford in Strawberry Culturist. He
grows all his crops for revenue only,
belongs to no horticultural society,
takes no horticultural paper. and takes
but little stock in any new tangled no
lions. He raises the Wilson and Cres-
cent in thick matted rows, and takes as
many crops from the same plantation
as possible. One of his boys, Johnnie,
found some small Seeding plants and
obtained permission to set them in the
garden where early lettuce and onions
had grown. This was in July. The boy
took good care of them and removed
all runners as they appeared. Early in
the fall some fine manure was scattered
among the plants, and when the first
freezing weather came the whole bed
was we'll covered with straw. This was
removed early in the spring, and every
weed that appeared was pulled up.
Just before the fruit commenced to
ripen some straw was placed between
the plants to keep it clean. There were
some fifty varieties, and most of them

vest and returned home again when the
work was over. The wages were about
$3.50 a day. Most of the old colonists
in the wheat growing sections of the
republic had purchased their land, but
in recent years immigrants had usual
ly rented their land, and the majority
paid a produce rent ranging from 9 to
IS per cent of the crop they grew.
Machinery and implements were gener-
ally obtained by the colonists by pur-
chase on a years credit from store
keepers, and paid for in a certain per-
centage of the crop to be produced. The
older colonists who owned the land
they worked were certainly not in debt.
AS regarded the cost of production, the
Italian colonist could grow wheat to
be sold on his farm at price equiVa-
lent, at the present rate of exchange,
to lis per quarter, and he would gain
more by doing this than as a wage
Garner in the republic. Twenty shillings
a quarter in London would encourage
the extension of wheat growing in the
republic under present conditions. But,
although even the present low prices
did not represent a loss to the Argen-
tina colonists. many wheat growers
had recently devoted more attention
TO the cultivation of lucern or alfalfa.
The crop was most valuable one, and
when once the land had been laid down
no further trouble was necessary, as
the crop was practically perennial. AS
an instance of the value of alfalfa, he
stated that ordinary wheat land in the
republic could be bought for 15s per
acre, whereas the same land when laid
down to lucern would at the end of a
single year be of the value of e. per
acre. There was large area in the
republic of the extent of about 10000
square leagues which was specially
suitable to the cultivation of this lu-
Germ, the soil being particularly good,
and having water at about twenty feet
below the surface. The great value of
this particular land for the cultivation
of lucern had only been discovered
within the last five years, and attention

were as large as the Crescent Mr.. Smith
was selling. One was much larger.
The berry created quite a sensation in
the Smith family, and it was their can
did opinion that it surpassed all other
varieties that the world had yet seen.
One day Mr.. Smith carried half dozen
specimens to town and gave one to
each of as many prominent persons who
felt in duty bound to give no end Of
praise. He was greatly enthused, and
when he repeated some of the pleasant
things that were said his family con-
cluded that fortune had smiled upon
them. From that time on the new
berry was the leading topic, and all
the. friends OF the Smith family were
informed of it's wonderful qualities.
After the bearing season the other
Seeding were hoed up and the runners
of the new berry layered all around
the parent plant, and carefully hoed and
watered. Johnnie's father gave him a
nice rich bed in the garden which he
covered with manure and spaded and
made almost as fine as sand. About the
LIST of August there came a rainy night,
and the next day while 1t was yet
cloudy, Johnnie took up twenty nicely
rooted plants with the garden trowel
and about quart Of earth to each one,
and transferred them to the new bed.
They never felt the change, but con-
tinued to grow from the first. These
were treated just as the original plant
had been the year before except that a
liberal amount of hen manure was ap-
piled among the plants, and in dry
time they were we'll watered. In the
meantime the old plant was making
more runners, and at the end of the
season Johnnie had twenty large hills
and over 100 good plants.
All OF Mr.. Smiths customers had a
chance to sample the new berry the
next season and compare II with the
Wilson and Crescent. The editor of
the local paper received sample and
gave a very fiattering notice in the next
issue. A nurseryman in the same
county heard of the berry and finally

Presidents Who Were Farmers.


In those halcyon days of agriculture
ten presidents of the United States
were called from farms.
l. Washington, the land surveyor
and farmer, from Mount Vernon.
2. John Adams, of Quincy, who,
during the last year Of his presidency,
said: Il am weary, worn and dis
gusted to death. l had rather chop
wood, dig bitches and make fences
upon my poor little farm. Alas, poor
farm and poorer family, what have you
lest that your country might be free"
3. Jefferson, farmer, philosopher and
statesman, from Monticello.
4. Madison, farmer and lawyer, of
Montpelier, Va.
3. Monroe, farmer, from Oak Hill,
Virginia.
6. John Quincy Adams, from the
Quincy farm of-100 acres, near Boston.
Ut is said that most Of the trees were
raised by John Quincy Adams from
the seeds which he was in the habit of
picking up in his wanderings. The
most peculiar interest attaches to a
shellbark hickory which he planted
more than fifty years previous to his
death. In this tree he took peculiar
satisfaction, but he was an enthusiast
in regard to all the trees of the forest,
differing in this respect from his
father, who was an agriculturist of the
Cato stamp-was more inclined to lay
the axe to them than to propagate
them)
z. Andrew Jackson, of the "Her-
mltage," in Tennessee, who, as a far
mer, soldier and lawyer, was most ex-
cellent type of the best Americanism.
8. Van Buren,, of Undertook, N. Y,
was called to the presidency from his
sheep and wool farm, although he was
lawyer Of far above average acquire
ments and ability.
9. William Henry Harrison, from
his farm at North Bend, o.
10. Tyler. of Sherwood Forest farm,
Virginia, where he subsequently died.
IL. James X. Polk, of Duck River,
Tenn, also came from the farm to the
presidency.
This selection of presidents from
rural homes-from among the farms
of the country-illustrates the fact that
in those days there was no profession
or calling which held a more exalted
position in public estimation than that
of MISUNDERSTANDING J. Sterling
Morton, in the Forum.

EVnpOrating Apnles.

The apple crop of the state has again
been disposed of at fairly good aver
age price, says Maine Farmer. Yet the
fact remains all the same that the sec
onds have as usual been badly in the
way to drag down the price to lower
average. Most growers still insist on
selling at an agreed upon price fright
through"
We still claim it would be better not
to put the seconds on the market as
green fruit. We complain that Nova
Scotia and Canadian fruit brings higher
prices abroad than our own, yet we still
insist that the inferior fruit shall make
up goodly part of it.
We fully believe that the introduction
of the evaporation into our state to a
much larger extent than it has ever yet
been done, and as has been done in the
fruit counties of New York, would
prove an advantage if rightly handled.
The Gamers now take care of some of
this inferior fruit. Let the eVaporator
come and take the rest. 1t is estimated
that in Wayne County, New York, above
a full million bushels of the last crop
of this class of apples was evaporated.
and that in this form 1t was worth full
half million dollars. This disposition
of the fruit takes it out of the market
and puts it into a form of value and
out of competition with the green
fruit.
such disposition of this class of fruit
in our state would be greatly to the ad-
vantage of the growers.

was now being directed to the posi-
bility of developing large export trade
in cattle and sheep to the United King
dom. Hitherto cattle rearing in the
republic consisted, to great extent,
in the improvement of the stock by the
importation of good blood from Great
Britain and elsewhere. One great ad-
vantage possessed by the Argentina
breeder was the fact that his stock
never required housing or hand feed
ing, and in this way the expense of
maintaining buildings was avoided.
The climate was such that the cattle
and sheep could be left out all the year
around.

New Use for GIyccrine.

A thin coat of pure glycerine applied
to both sides of glass will prevent any
moisture forming thereon, and will
stay until it collects SO much dust that
it can not be seen through. Surveyors
can use it to advantage on their instru-
ments in foggy weather. In fact, 1t
can be used anywhere to prevent mois-
ture from forming on anything and To-
connective engineers will find it partic-
ularly useful in preventing the ac-
emulation Of steam as well as frost
on their windows during the cold
weather.
