ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The soil for the orchard cannot be too
rich.
The object in pruning the grape is to
lessen the quantity of fruit and improve
its quality.
There is no advantage in planting
tender vegetables until after all dam
ger of frost is past.
If there is a choice take plants of d
short stocky growth rather than such
as have luxurant branches.
a moderate pruning in the spring
will cause the fruit to fill less than on
anpruned overhurdened trees.
An apple tree may fail to bear be-
cause overbearing the previous year
las overeNhausted the vitality.
Whether the vines run horizontally
or upright, they should be trained as
near as possible in straight lines.
Now is a good time to set out rasp-
berries and blackberries. Get the work
done before the plants start to grow.
Plant for succession in the garden as
well as in the orchard. 1t is an item to
have good supply of fruits and vege-
tables all the season.-St. Louis Re-

THE TAX THAT COUNTS.

1,00o,0O0,000 tons of freight. Every year
the amount increases. Every pound of
this freight is carted and carried over
our roads and streets before it gets to
the railroads; millions of tons are
hauled in wagons and sold in the coun-
try towns and consumed by the local
buyer. Here is the farmers end of it.;
hay, 100000 tons-think of hauling
54,000,000 loads of hay TO market on
cereals; G,000,0o0 tons OF potatoes; p
100000 tons of cotton; total, 49,, 600, 600
tons, not counting the mud on the
wagon wheels.
1.-The road and the wagon are the twin
handmaidens of agriculture that at
tend the farmer on every journey to
market and they are forever at odds
with each other. If the man who sold
that wagon to the farmer had tried to
sell that road to him, homicide would
have become virtue; $4,000, 900 tons of
produce; $500,000,000 paiG for farm i'm
plements and machinery to harvest it
with; $1,000, 100000 invested in farm
horses and mules to drag it to market.
Think of it! Think of being director
in a corporation with that amount of
business on hand, with countless mil
lions of paid-up capital invested, and
think of doing business in a mortar
bed!. Think of waiting for the mud to
dry up. Sixteen million horses and
mules idle in the stables; 100000 a
day for horse feed; $2s,OG0,0O0 a week.
Think of the loss of time and labor, the
dwarfed and shrunken values of our
farms, of the slack supply and good
prices, when the roads are impossible.
Think Of the procession of farmers that
rush to town and glut the market in
the first days of dry weather, and think
of the paltry prices they get when every
body is trying to sell to an overstocked
market"

TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
Great Road Convention to Be Held at
Galveston, Nav 22.

There is one especially encouraging
feature of the good-roads movement.
It is the activity in that direction in
regions remote from centers of popula-
ton.
A convention of delegates represent
ing the great state of Texas is to be
held IN Galveston, beginning on May
%. In Arkansas a state convention was
held at Little Rock in February, in
which a resolution was adopted rec
Ommending a constitutional amend
ment empowering county authorities
to levy a special tax for carrying on
work of general highway improve
ment. Similar steps have been taken
i'll several other states of the south and
west.
Another encouraging feature of the
movement is general disposition to
profit by the experience of other coun-
tries-notably of France, which has
perhaps the finest wagon-roads of any
country. Good roads are more easily
made and kept in older there than in
most countries, because of the scarcity
of forest areas, which conserve moisture
and render somewhat more difficult the
keeping of highways in repair. But it
is possible and well worth the while
to have good roads and still preserve
the desired areas of natural forest. The
time is not distant when the neglect of
either of these important interests will
be matter of general public regret,
and will be viewed as public misfor-
tuue.-Youth's Companion.

Muddy Roads Mean an Annual Loss of
Millions of Dollars.
Isaac B. Potter, chairman of the high

at Baltimore, February 10, said, among
other things:
Sixteen million dumb and patient

recent freshets. l have said this much
to justify, briefly, the wheelmen's work

said, but it is unnecessary. People are
beginning to look upon the wheel from
a new, more correct, and more intelli-

into common use. They are ridden by

An Indian Fighter Suffers Agonies
from Disease.
He Was In the Battle with the Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.
From the Press. Neu Fork City

From the Press, New Fork City.
Worn with the exposure of army life on
the frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down in health and unable to do
any work.
He had served FIVE years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
light with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an eEviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
lmo, the famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched
by redskins bullet or arrow, and Mr.. Fle-
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously ill, but he stuck to his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the Indian
fighter was scarcely more than skin and
bones, and for three weeks he lay desperate
ly i'll in hospital. He felt dizzy, and his
stomach felt as if it had dried up. These
symptoms We're accompanied by bloody
dysentery, which no medicine seemed to re-
lieve
After two years of suffering, Mr. Flegauf
came to New York and was treated by sew

and others chronic diarrh9a
In speaking to a reporter about his illness
Mr. Flegauf said the doctors helped him,
but, with all the money he spent for advice
and medicine, he was able to work only a
small part of the time. Since moving to
his present home, No SIT West Forty-sec-
ond Street, in New York, about year ago,
Mr.. Flegauf has been so i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the sick
man had little hope of recovery. AT this
critical time DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were recommended to Mr.. File
gauf, and, almost as last hope, he began
taking them.
1.-The beneficial effect of the medicine was
felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the reporter,

are not patent medicine in the sense that

wise to place them within the reach of all.
They are now manufactured by the DR..

FOOD ADULTERATloN.
Fruits and Vegetables In Which 1t II
Mainly Practlced.

Mainly Practlced.
Recent Investigations by the depart,
ment of agriculture of the state OF
Pennsylvania on the amount of food
adulteration lead to some interesting
results. A conservative estimate
places the value of the food consumed
by the citizens of the state at $4e0,-
OO0, 900, and if to this amount is added
the average estimate of adulteration,
it follows that there is lost through this
means $2O,O00,0OO.
The examinations made by the de.
partment make it evident that the fol-
lowing items will mainly cover the
worst forms of adulteration: The use of
salicylic acid in the preparation OF
fruit jams, catsup, etc.; in such cases
it is introduced for the purpose of pre-
venting fermentation, and when eaten
and it has entered the digestive organs,
it prevents to an appreciative extent the
proper functions of digestion. Of the
samples of buckwheat flour tested, but
two were found pure. Three-fifths of
the samples of cheese selected for an
alysis proved to be filled cheese"-the
milk had been SKINNED, the cream
used for other purposes, and foreign
fats, not butter, lad been added with
the intent of making up the deficiency.
Of the samples of mustards, two-thirds
were found to be adulterated. Ground
spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper,
ginger, ETC., are seldom pure. Many
fruit jams, especially those claiming to
be strawberry and raspberry, were
found to consist largely of starch paste,
with only enough fruit, in some cases.,
to claim the name. All samples of So
called French peas were found to con-
tain injurious amounts of metallic
salts.-N. Y. Tribune.

Chillicothe Gazette.
The bravery mingled with tender
ness and pity, of Miss Catherine Fitz-
simmons, of Greenfield, who was one
of the passengers on No. 13, the passen-
ger train that was run into last even
ing, by freight train No. so, near Rox-
abel, has been the subject of mu ch
comment among railroad circles, since
the dreadful affair happened, and
naught is the wonder, for Miss Fitzsim-
mons is really an angel in human form.
When the collision occurred, Miss
Fitzsimmons was in the rear coach,
and was quite painfully bruised. But
disregarding her own affairs, and pain.
she bravely went out to the rescue of
the injured, even going out in the snow
and cold to offer her aid to the wound
ed trainmen. Be it said, to the eternal
disgrace of several other passengers,
that they sternly refused to assist her,
when asked to do so. But one passen-
ger volunteered his help, and of him
too much praise cannot be given.
Miss Fitzsimmons is a sister OF En-
gineer John Fitzsimmons, who was in
the awful wreck at Schooleys. She
was returning on No. Is, after having
left the bedside of her brother. The
lady, as soon as the injured were car
ried into a coach, crawled into the
broken and smashed baggage car and
to wrap the sufferers, who were al
most freezing with cold. She warmed
the blankets about the stove before
wrapping those who We're hurt, and
otherwise mnistered to their comfort.
Not having bandages at hand, she
tore up her black silk underskirt and
used the strips of cloth in binding up
the bleeding wounds of the unfortun-
ate ones. For two hours and more,
until the arrival of the physicians, she
kept cheering and assisting the I'M jur-
ed, never once faltering at the sight of
blood. When the train pulled into
this city on the return journey, Miss
Fitzsimmons was a heroine. Every in
jured man called her to his side, and
wanted to express his gratitude by a
kiss.
No wonder that she won TIE admira-
tion of all, for brayer and better
woman never drew the breath of life.
Her actions on the occasion of last
evening deserve vote of thanks from
the railroad company, and all con-
cerned, yet she was too modest to even
admit that she had done anything
worthy of note, Yet if Miss Fitzsim-
mons does not realize the good she did,
there are others who do, as proven by
the remark of Engineer Dora Scott,
who expressed his heartfelt sentiments
with this observation: God bless Katie
Fitzsimmons, she is a jewel"

in the history of the company the in

From the time that manufacturing
began in Fall River there was for many

materials, as well as TO send to market
the finished products. In the colonial

been engaged in foreign trade together
with few small sloops sailed between
