continued in use for fifty-nine years.
The present seal differs from it only In
detail Of execution. The design Of the
reverse has pyramid, over which
there is an eye in triangle. For some
reason this side of the seal was not cut
then, nor has 1T been cut since, but has
been allowed to go unnoticed officially
until the present day. The second seal
was cut in 1871, Daniel Webster then
being Secretary Of State. This one was
continued in use up to 1885, when the
seal now in use was cut.-New York

Thinning Fruit.

In most sections this year the apple
set of fruit Is very heavy. Pears,
peaches and other fruit in the North

as the crop Is light. There Is danger,

the tree has blossomed very fully, that
the tree may be enfeebled and thus

The loss Of vigor caused by bearing is
very obvious to the experienced eye Of
an orchardist as he sees the trees at
a distance. The non-bearing trees win
have a dark green foliage. while the
bearing trees will show a paler green
color, indicating the strain that bear

Marketing Asparagus.

When gathered, asparagus shoots
should be assorted and made Of as near
ly uniform length as possible, and
made into punches of one or two pounds
each. The usual method is to make the
tops even and cut the butts even. AS
paragus may be kept fresh several
days by immersing the bottom Of The
shoots in one or two inches Of water
In cool place. For transportation to
market, shallow boxes, little deeper
than the bunch, are best. The punches
should be tightly packed into such box
es to keep them from being bruised or
otherwise injured. The asparagus
buncber illustrated above Is style In
common use. The rear part slides over
the four light crosspieces and is made
of hard wood. 1t can thus be easily
