There are many magnificent maps
many Of them physical maps-but
the best one we have ever seen is the
Model of Palestine. The Model is
800 feet long. Lake Chautauqua
serves as the Mediterranean Sea. The
Jordan Valley is excayated, and water
is supplied in such a way as to form
a continuous stream through the |
river. The various cities are indicated |
by iron models. The valleys, plains, |
and mountains, are all plainly shown,
on comparative scale. From the
lowest point COTTON Of the Dead Sea-
to the highest Mount Hermon) must
be about 80 feet. These elevations
are mostly built of stone and covered
with soil. About twice week lee
tureis delivered by Rev II. B. Water
man. He stands on the banks OF the
river Jordan about half way between
the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea
and delivers his lecture. The people
are located around him. Some seat
themselves at the feet of the speaker,
some stand, some are on the opposite
side of the river, some ct the source,
others at the Dead Sea, and some sit
around on the various cities-have
even seen them on top of Mt. Hermon.
But they oil hear. DR.. Waterman has
travelled all over Palestine and knows
what he is talking about. He has
many relics which he exhibits OF the
close of his lecture.
When you enter the grounds you
pay S. for O season ticket. That en-
titles you to attend every lecture,
concert, OF entertainment. This makes
them cost you on an average about S
cents a piece; whereas they would
cost at least so cents at any other
place we know Of.
Good board and lodging may be
had here for Sc or ST week. You
may get it for SIS by staying the entire
soason-i G., if you manage it we'll.
We are boarding at the National Cot
tase. We find the beds just as good
as Oh the Lake front, and the bill of
fare botter. We recommend this
Cottage to our friends who contem-
plate visiting Chautauqua. It is kept
by Mr.. and Mrs. Hawley.
Tho wasLerwomen reap q harvest

where work is done more reasonable.
But we would advise people who
come to Chautauqua to wear dark

the least washing.

TO PREVENT Loss BY FROST
George A. Fleming, a Visalia frui,
grower, has invented an apparatus to
overcome danger from frost in the or
chards, which he claims has proved
successful. There is no danger from
frost except when the air is perfectly
still. This fact has been taken advan-
tage of, and the scheme has been to
produce a sort of artificial fog which
should envelop the trees and keep up
the temperature. Mr.. Fleming gives
the following description of his appar-
atus: ave build wire frames on low
truck wagons, stretching them from
four wagon stakes, and heaping wet
manure over them, dirt was thrown
on the wagon beds TO protect them,
and pots of burning tar were set un-
derneath the straw roof. A barrel OF
water on the wagon was used to keep
the straw wet. These wagons were
driven about and did the best work,
as they could 60 wherever most need
ed. The smoke and vapor were car
ried to the rear as the wagon moved,
and being at once out of the rising
heat, fell close to the gound in a long,
white trail. At daylight our whole
400 acres of orchard were covered with
white fog extending from. the ground
about 20 feet high" Mr.. Fleming is
an experienced orchardist and his ex-

SOWING RYE.

A field of rye sown so that thrifty
growth is made in good season fur.
nishes good winter pasturage. All
things considered, there is no crop that
will stand so much winter feeding
down as this. In order, however, to
jget the largest benefit, care should be
taken to SOW in good season, having
the soil in proper tilth in order that
good growth can be secured before
cold weather sets in. The seed should
be scattered evenly over the ground
in order to secure an even stand.
In many cases very good plan is
to SOW the rye among the standing
corn, working it into the soil with a
fve-shoveled cultivator. Or, the corn
can be cut off and stacked up, and the
ground worked over with good disc
harrow or cultivator.
In addition to the pasturage, rye is
one of the very best crops to build
up the land. 1t can often be grown
on land 80 poor that it will not make
clover, and when land has been crop
ped down, one of the best plans is to
seed it to rye in the latter part of the
summer or very early in the fall. 1t
can be pastured all winter, and then
in spring be allowed to make fair
growth, and then plowed under and
the ground sown to buckwheat.
This can be turned under not later
than the first part of June, and a Sec
ond crop be sown that will make suf,
6cient growth to turn under before
frost. This will make three crops that
can be turned under in a little more
that year, and will leave the ground
in good condition to grow crop.
Rye can also be sown early in the
fall, pastured during the wiater, then
allowed to make good growth and
be plowed under and corn be planted
In many cases growth can be plowed
under this way without the loss of q
a regular crop.
If the fertility of the soil is to be
kept up, not only must all the manure
possible be saved and applied, but
every opportunity must be taken to
plow under a green crop. Even then,
in many cases, it will pay to use COM
mercial fertilizers.
The larger the yield of the crops the
more food, and the more feed grown
the larger number of stock it is posi-
ble to keep, and the more manure can
be made. With sheep, and in fact all
kinds of breeding stock, rye is most
valuable for the reason that it supplies
green food at just the time when it is
most needed. When the ewes are
bred for early lambs with the intention
of reaching the early market, a good
patch of rye on which they can be
turned in the spring will be found
valuable. Sow five pecks of seed, if
the seeding is done in good season,
and six pecks if for any reason the
seeding is delayed. On nearly every
farm where stock is kept a patch OF
rye sown where it can be pastured can
be made to pay.-The,Republic.

USE AND ABUSE OF THE LEMON.

A bilious attack may be soon over
come by taking the juice of one OF
two lemons in goblet of water before
retiring and in the morning before
rising. When taken on an empty stom
ach the lemon has an opportunity tc
work on the system. Continue the
use of them for several weeks.
Lemons are an excellent remedy in
pulmonary diseases. When used fol
lung trouble, from six to nine day
should be used. More juice is OBJ
tanned from lemons by boiling them
Put the lemons into cold water and
bring slowly to a boil. Boil slowly
until they begin to soften; remove
from the water and when cold enough
to handle squeeze until all the juice
is extracted, strain and add enough
loaf or crushed sugar to make itsweet
Add about twice as much sugar as
there is juice. This preparation may
be prepared one day to last three OF
four days, but it must be kept in q
cool place.
Lemon juice sweetened with loaf OF
crushed sugar will relieve a cough,
For feverishness and an unnatural
thirst, soften a lemon by rolling on q
hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar
and work it down in the lemon with
fork, then suck it slowly.
Hot lemonade will break up cold
if taken at the start. Make it the
same as cold lemonade, only use boil
ing water, and use about half as much
sugar.
A piece of lemon or stale bread
moistened with lemon juice bound on
corn will cure it. Renew night and
morning. The first application will
produce soreness, but if treatment is
persisted in for reasonable length Of
time cure will be effected. The dis.
comfort caused by sore and tender feet
may be lessened, if not entirely cured,
by applying slices of lemon to the feet.
To cure chilblains, take a piece OF
lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it, and
rub the feet we'll.
Lemon juice will relieve roughness
and vegetable stain on the hand. AT
ter washing the hands in hot soapsuds
rub them with piece of lemon.
This will prevent chapping, and make
the hands soft and white.

HE MUST Go.-There is postmas

ed that he will no longer lick on

not. The other day I went in and

started on a measuring tour, tele'
graphing ahead to all oficials-"Take
off everything but your pantaloons
and shirt, and be on the platform,
when train arrives, to be measured fol
uniform" When the train arrived,
the man would be found and the tai
lor ready to enter the train when ii
was time for him to 60. Everything
was working like charm, when he
stopped at one of the stations, but
found no man waiting in his shirt
sleeves. He found, however, very
pretty little lady, the stationmistress,
and her big brother waiting to receive
him. He concluded not to take the
