The Apple a. Medicine.

DR.. G. R. Searles, of Brooklyn, n. Y,
thus discourses on the apple as medi-
cine: THE apple is such a common
fruit that very few persons are familiar
with its remarkable e~ficacious medic
inal properties. Everybody ought to
know that the very best thing they can
do IS to eat apples just before retiring
for the night. Persons uninitiated in
the mysteries of the fruit are liable TO
throw up their hands in horror at the
visions Of dyspepsia which such
a suggestion may summon up;
but no harm can come to
even a delicate system by
the eating of ripe and juicy apples
just before going to bed. The apple
is an excellent brain food, because it
has more phosphoric acid in easily
diCestible shape than other fruits. 1t
eXcites the action of the liver, pro-
notes sound and healthy sleep. and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth.
This is not all. The apple helps the
kidney s~ecretions and prevents calcu-
lus growths, while it obviates indiges-
ton, and is one OF the best %preventa-
tives known of disease of the throat.
Everybody should be familiar with
such knowledge"

TRIALS OF


How to Avoid Some Common Troubles In
Butter Making.
\ common complaint that comes 10
us by mail is that the butter won't
come" Well, the butter will come If
the cream be churned at a proper ten4-
perature. l have put the limit CT time
for churning at IS to 10 minutes. /
heat the cream just high enough to
make the butter come after about 35
minutes of agitation. l find some peo-
pie complain that there are specks
in the butter, says Prof. Robertson. Il
you allow the vessel containing the
cream to BE exposed to the action of the
atmosphere a part of its moisture Will
cvaporate and a scum of skin Will be
formed on the top of the cream. That
Will be broken up by the churning. and
you will have merely small portions OF
thickened, dried cream in your butter.
Prevention is better than an attempt I
ere. Let the cream vessel be covered.
or by frequent stirring prevent the for
nation of the skin of dried cream. The
straining of the cream into the churn
is also Il good measure for keeping
specks of thickened cream or curd from
finding their way into the butter.
Occasionally butter-makers find the
butter full of streaks. That condition
ma come from the retention OF por-
tons of the buttermilk in the mass of
the butter. The addition OF a quart
Of water for every two gallons of cream,
after the granules of butter begin to
appear and before the churning is COIN
pleted, will help to bring about q speedy
and full separation of the buttermilk.
When the buttermilk has been removed
the granular butter should be washed
with cold water. In summer the tenn
Terature of the water should be about
So degrees and in winter about so de.
crces. For the washing the churn
should be revolved Il half faster than
for the churning. Care should lie
taken to prevent the granular butter
from settling on any sediment of curdy
substance which may be left on the
sides or bottom OF the churn after the
butter-washing water has been with
drawn.
\ streaky condition of the butter
sometimes results from an imperfect
mixture of the salt with The butter.
Eeworking after the salt is dissolved
will correct that. F~ine-grained sal;
only should be used. The presence OF
salt should be perceptible TO the taste,
bit not TO the sense of Iouch.-N. y.

DEAREST APPLE TREE.
It Cost Its Owner the Tidy Sum of Forty
Five Thousand Dollars.

rive InOusanu DOlldTss
According to the Philadelphia Times
the dearest apple tree in the world
stands on the Albert Smith farm, i'll
South Strabane township. 1t has cost
its owner over $4,000 in cash, and no
doubt much mental suffering.
In 1887, when the Smith pool gushers
commenced to break the oil market and
ruin SPECTATORS, the company which
held the lease Oh the Smith farm de-
sided 10 locate Il well near the boundary
line of the Cameron and Smith proper
ties. The timbers for the rig were OH
the ground when the owner of the farm
objected t O the location, claiming that
if made on the spot chosen it would
necessitate the chopping down of a
favorite apple tree. The manager of the
drilling company had conceived the
idea. however. that the location was u
promising one, becoming tired Of
Smiths protest, decided to gain his
point and get even with the land owner
at the same time.
Acting on this plan, he had the tim
bers hauled Il few feet, reversed the
derrick and the boiler house, placed
them Just across the line on the Came
ron farm and drilled the well within Il
few feet of the original location The
well came in a gusher of the largest
caliber. producing 5000 barrels of oil
per day. A large percentage of the pc
troleun: must come under the Smith
farm, but the hole was on Cameron's
land. and the latter, of course, received
the royalty.
The well is still producing some oil,
and the property owners share of the
output has amounted to over $4,000.
The apple tree still lives, but it is said
TO have been ruined by the close PROV
unity of the well. Other wells on the
Smith land brought the farmer wealth,
but his apple tree, which is O famous
among driilers, cost him dear.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW.
ERG

Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, a market garden and green
house business i'll La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third OF
a century they would be the leaders
in the seeG-growing and secd-selling
industry of America. The secret OF
This phenomenal success was quality
liberality, push. Nothing in the world
adyertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of SalZcr'S northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vi@or and to their absolute surety of
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities. and this
coupled with the great libcrality OF the
firm in the way of rareand many extras
to each order and push back of all,
has placed the firm i'll the a and en-
titles them 10 the proud distinction
OF Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been 5
great specially with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred acre rial farm in South Da.
kota was visited by thousands inter
e5ted i'll higher farming, ard all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to tn"
new grasses. clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
the largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
\ strong point of the john 4. Salzer
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering of them
is always sure of getting what he Or
ders.
\ slight idea of the magnitude OF This
FIRMS business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest num-
herof catalogues fany American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage a
wear. employ in the packing and dis
tributing of their seeds upwards of
six hundred hands and require for
their distributing warehouse over ten
acres of floor room.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they canEot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one w2y to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cOus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iniamed you have 4 rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intiamcd condition
of the mucous surfaces.

thedefendantsf from selling the Golden
Spring" hooks and eyes.
The hooks dealt in by the defendants
were manufactured by the Golden
Spring Hook and Eye Company. of

positions of the straight and curved
portions of the De Long loop were re-
vtIsed. The Court held that this did
void infringement, and directed q
decree to be entered for the plaintiffs.
