TREES ON THE FARM.

Do not allow the farm to remain q
waste of bare land. Plant trees every
year, few or many at time but plant
some at all events, and make up your
mind to go right into the business in
the spring. Trees add to the value,
appearance and homelikeness of any
farm. Give them only the care tho
farmer expects to expend upon corn
and potatoes, and they will do well.
Strange it is that an otherwise good
farmer who will tend his corn crop
assiduousiy will set out tree only to
utterly neglect and forsake there
after. The tree to do we'll must be
fed and cultivated like any other farm
crop. Then it will respond freely
and generously both by growth
ard by fruit. The plum and pear,
we'll grown. pay we'll. Set them out
in rich soil at intervals of twenty
feet in either direction. Never let
them get hungry. Stir tho soil con-
stantly through the summer, and you
will never regret the day you under
took fruit culture. Some OF the best
aud most profitable market pears are
Aniou. Rose. sheldon. Clairgeau aud
Lawrence. For desirable plums plant

A BAD WEED.

The burdock is bad weed, from
the multiplicity of its seeds and the
readiness with which they are dis
tributed by the wind and By passing
animals or persons. Cutting the bur-
dock down when it is beginning to form
blossoms will usually kill it, as at this
stage of growth the root has but little
vigor left. But when these large bur-
docks are piled for burning there
should be plenty of dry wood in the
heap, SO as to make hot fire. If the
weeds are burned alone some of the
seed will fall down to the bottom of
the burning pile and escape de.
struction. In slow fire made from
green weeds there is q stratum of car
bonic acid gas at the bottom of the
heap in which nothing will burn

NORMAN SOUP.

This is one of the best white soups
that can be made, having also the
merit of being economical. Put q
knuckle of veal into four quarts of
cold water with quart of small but
ton onions, and boil gently for two
hours. Then cut up into it half loaf
of bread and cook for an hour and q
half longer. Then take out the meat,
scrape it all from the bone and cut it
fine, and press the broth, bread and
onions through sieve. Then rub to-
gether a tablespoonful Of butter or
oleomargarine, with two tablespoon.
tuls of -four until quite smooth, and
stir this into quart of milk placed on
the stove and brought to the boiling
point, but not allowed to boil. When
the -four has been cooked in this, add
it to the soup, put back the pieces OF
meat, add salt and pepper to taste and
serve. Force-meat balls are very nice
with this soup. New York World.

From the Drych, Utica, N. Y

Fto"s 0ec OfSS''t C''eoS Ave- -
Mrs. E. Mclaughlin, who resides at SO
Miller Street, Utica, N. Y. but formerly lived
at ITO Seymour Avenue, in the same city, is
a lady nearly seventy years old. She was
born at Marcy. Oneida County, N. Y, and
has resided In Oneida County all her life
and is well-known there. 1t was reportedin in
Utica that Mrs. Mclaughlin had been won
derfully cured of severe attack of rheuma-
tism, as we'll as indigestion, by the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, a
reporter of Drych was sent TO interview her
on the subject and get the true facts.
Mrs. Mclaughlin said she had been afflict-
ed with rheumatism for about twenty years,
and was at times unable to rise from her
chair. Her suffering was intense, aud she
was sometimes driven nearly wild with the
agonizing pain. or late she had also been
troubled with indigestion and her health had
become greatly undermined. She was almost
discouraged, being unable to get relief either
from the doctors or through the numerous
RENE lies which she tried. Mrs. Mclaughlin
had often read Of the cures effected by DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, but, af-
ter her many failures to obtain relief through
other remedies she had but little confidence
that anything would help her. She continued
to grow worse from day to day and had given
up all hope OF ever being restored to health.
One day Mrs. Mclaughlin spoke Of Pink
Pills to friend who was calling upon her.
1t happened that this friend had had some
experience with Pink Pills and knew their
value. She urgently advised Mrs. McLaugh-
lin to give them trial, which she consented
to do. She procured one box and before its
contents had been entirely used she noticed
quite an improvement In her health. She
waited some time before getting another.
After.a while she decided to keep on with
them and when she had taken three boxes
was completely cured. She is no longer
troubled with indigestion, and when seen by
the representative of D,'ych was walking
around as briskly as anyone OF her age could
be expected to do.

USE POTASH IN THE FALL.

1t is important in manuring or
chards, that tho potash fertilizers ap-
piled be mixed with the soil and go
down deeply enough to reach the roots.
There is no danger that potash thus
applied in fall will be wasted by leach
ing. Fruit tree roots SO down US deep
ly as most underdrains as any one who
has dug underdrains in orchards must
know. The feeding roots sometime in
the course of the fertilizer downward
will seize it and turn it to use. Potash
is in especial demand for bearing
trees, though it also has an excellent
effect in promoting strong and
healthy growth of foliage. on which
prolifcacy largely depends. Boston

ASPARAGUS CULTURE IN A NUTSHELL.


There are many who are very fond
of asparagus, but will not grow it be-
cause of the time which expires before
the plants will furnish crop.
'Where land is plentiful-and on
most farms there are many acres that
yearly go to waste-this should not
be, for in planting small bed and
taking care of it there would not be
more than one or two whole days in q
year spent upon it, and at the end of
the third year the planter would be
richly rewarded for his labor.
First of all have your land in good
shape, and don't be afraid of the ma
nure or fertilizer. Purchase your
seed from some good house, as the
seed is the foundation upon which
your future bed will rest. Sow 1t
thinly in rows one foot apart during
the months of April or May, according
to the weather, and keep down all
weeds. To procure good strong
healthy plants thin out the seedlings
to three or four inches in the rows,
saving only the strong ones.
One year can be gained upon this
system by buying from you scotsman
year-old plants, which should be set
out in spring in rich sand loan,
which has been plowed at least eight.
cen inches deep and has had liberal
amount of we'll rotted manure worked
into it. If your soil is of stiff clay,
add plenty of sand to it and also some
sifted coal ashes, which will serve to
loosen it up. You should also make
some preparation for nder-drainage.
Every fall good dressing OF coarse
manure should be applied after the
tops have been cut, and in the spring
this should be forked in.
In cutting the crops never cut the
roots too closely, as they need the ben
eft OF at least little foliage, or else
they will weaken and die during the
cold season. New York Witness.
