New rses for Greenhouses

The decreased cost OF constructing
and managing greenhouses is leading
to a great multiplication of their num-
Der, and as another result of the uses
to which they are put. A Philadelphia
owner of numerous greenhouses, for
which he could not find profitable use.
devoted several to the growing of pota-
toes. OF course in rich soil and with
abundant warmth and moisture, the
crop was very large. He had home
grown potatoes as early as they could
be brought from the South, and made
a fair profit by selling at the same price
per peck as new potatoes brought per
bushel a few weeks later.

1t is foolish to take poor health
"philosophically" these spring DAYS.
There is no reason why anyone should
sit hands in lap, and submit to head
aches, poor appetite, continual tired
feeling or constipation. If every dis
heartened invalid will go right at get
ting we'll by using Paine's celery COM
pound, that person will be astonished
and delighted with the quickness with
which this wonderful remedy is able to
call halt to wasting diseases, diseases
of debility and rundown condi-
tion.
Paine's celery compound does WON
ders in making people well.
Here is what woman, an ambitious
and hard-working member of the legal
profession in New York city, says of
this great remedy:
220 4th Ave-, New York.
While a student in the New York
university law school and under great
pressure from work and study, was
advised to take Paine's celery COM
pound. did so, and its beneficial re-
suits to one whose nerves are under the
trial of severe mental effort, am only
too ready to assert. After taking three
bottles found that it produced quiet
ness of nerves and induced sleep, very
beneficial to my health. For those
troubled with insomnia I can heartily
recommend it as harmless inducer of
sleep on account of its quieting effect
on the nerves. Yours very truly,
(Signed.) Florence II. Dangerfield,
Attorney and Counselor at Law.
Paine's celery compound, which
makes the weak strong, has received
testimonials from thousands of people
who had almost despaired of ever again
being in perfect health.

Indian Rainmakers.

All the Indian tribes had rain
makers, and some are yet left This
is one of their methods of operation.
A large body of Creek Indians had
gathered, all decked out in thier best
fnery. Two elderly men retired short
distance and seemed to be mumbling to
each other something like prayers or
invocations; after some time fire was
made on the bank of the stream, when
the two rain-makers gave an order, and
young man plunged into the river,
which was there very deep. When he
came up he had blue catfish in his
hand, which one of the old men took
and threw into the fire, the tribe look
ing on in perfect silence. Then there
was more mumbling, accompanied by
various contortions and gesticulations,
when the gathering dispersed. It rained
that night. Perhaps, on the whole,
the Indian rain-maker is more generally
successful than the civilized one oc-
casionally appearing on the frontier in
times of drought, the former having
shrewder and more experienced forecast
of weather probabilities and putting in
his incantations at the right time.-N.

Phosphate for Timothy.

The wheat plant belongs to the fam
lily Of grasses, and all these need phos-
phate to perfect their seeds, as well as
for the general welfare of the plant.
Whenever timothy is sown with any
grain, especially in the fall, no small
part of the phosphate used for the grain
crop goes into the subsequent crop of
grass. The grain may retard the tim
othy growth the first year, but the
phosphate will show in the growth OF
grass for several reasons. Timothy
roots do not run far. When the phos-
phate is applied with the drill, as it al
ways should be, the grass growth will
show the drill mark as long as the land
remains seeded.-American Cultivator.

Odda and Enda.

Powdered alum applied to a fever
sore will prevent it from becoming un-
slightly or noticeable.
When having occasion to hang out
clothes in winter where frost is likely
to stiffen them and injure the fabric
this can be obviated by putting hand
full of coarse salt in the last rinsing
water and letting it dissolve before put
ting in the articles under treatment.
A thermometer to be fastened upon
the oven door is one of the most useful
of articles to the cook. With this the
heat of the oven can be determined
without opening the door, and the bak-
ing of cakes, puddings and souff1es can
be accomplished much more success
fully.
To make Goldfish balls, simmer to-
gether equal quantities of raw fish and
potatoes-cut in small pieces-until the
potatoes are thoroughly cooked. When
done drain and mash; add a dash of
white pepper, a little sweet milk and
butter and the beaten white of one egg
for every cupful of the mixture. Fry
in hot pan, drain and serve at once.
For the sewing room piece boxes in
stead of piece bags are much to be pre-
ferred These may be built along the
wall, forming pigeonholes about eigh-
teen inches square, duly labeled for
each member of the family, and for
Innings and patterns. A chintz curtain
falls to the floor in front of such a cab
met, whose convenience has only to
be tried to be amply demonstrated.
To make linen beautifully white, use
refined borax in the water instead of
soda or washing powder. A large
handful of powdered borax to ten gal
Ions of boiling water is the proportion,
and you will save one-half In soap by
this method. Borax being a natural
salt, does not injure in the slightest
degree the texture of the linen, and
will soften the hardest water
Both dishcloths and busting cloths
should be put through the wash regu-
larly and fresh supply given out each
week. This Is done in order that they
may pass inspection regularly. They
should be washed out carefully every
day they are used, and dried at least
once in the twenty-four hours in the
open air. This will prevent any dam
ger of death in the dishcloth'' in the
shape of mold and the germs of disease

Team Horses.

1 think If we could have a larger
breed of horses. started there would be
money in raising colts for team pur-
poses, as / think a native colt at four
years of age weighing twelve hundred
pounds would bring from $125 to $3.50,
and it seems as though it might be
made to pay to raise colts for these
prices, and l would much rather have
a pair of such horses than those
brought from the West and Canada.
1t will pay you to breed your farm
mares this year, If they are good ones.
If they are not good, keep selling and
trading until you get good ones. A
good team tells a good farmer.-Farm

Cropping Bearing Orchards.

1t requires some extra profitable crop,
and one that will itself pay for good
deal of manure, to make the cropping
of a bearing orchard pay. We have seen
it done with both blackberries and
raspberries, both of which do well
when partially shaded, and which will
not suffer from drought, as do most Of
the crops grown In orchards. On no ac-
count should grain crops be grown in
the orchard unless 1t be where young
trees have grown to bearing size, but
without producing crop. Even then
the result is better accomplished by
sowing clover, to be grown for year or
tWoAEXchange.

eRANNY's MESSAGE TO JACK.

You're writing out to Jack to-day
Because his birthdays come,
And i must send to him. you say,
A message straight from home.
Dear boy! If could just sit down
And take his hand in mine,
Instead of putting all my love
In one poor little line.
But write out clear, and let it read
ITO Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"
You're smiling, daughter, as you write,
But Jack won't smile that way;
His mind will just go fitting back
To thoughts of yesterday,
Before he got so great and tall,
And oh, so very wise,
When he was granny's white-haired boy,
A-dreaming of the skies.
So write out clear, and let it read
''To Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"
Somehow the letters that we get
Don't seem to come from him;
And often when I've read them through
My poor old eyes are dim.
He talks too much of worldly things
Our Jack was never proud
OF men of wealth, of power and fame,
And going with the crowd.
So write out clear, and let it read
ITO Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"
You think his birthday calls for more
Than such a simple line;
Nay, there are those who love him less
To make him wishes fine.
Ny words go from faithful heart;
They're tender, true and warm;
With loving wisdom in them, too,
To keep my boy from harm.
So write out clear, and let it read
'To Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"
I'd like to see him as he reads,
His bright eyes brimming Ger,
And good thoughts rising white and
strong,
To be forgot no more.
Heaven will be nearer to his heart
Than it has been for years,
For he will read in that one line
My love, my hopes my prayers.
So write out clear, and let it read
''To Jack, away from home,
Granny says get ready
For the kingdom come"

Feeding for Strength.

1t is not accidental that oats, the
grain which, next to whole wheat, is
best for furnishing growth to the mus
cles. should have always been the IA
vorite food for horses. They are better
than wheat for all animals except man,
and as good also for man, if properly
prepared. 1t is the large proportion of
hull which makes oats superior for
horse feed, as the hull distends the nu-
triment and prevents it from compact
ing and heating In the stomach. Oat
grain not only contains large amount
of nitrogenous nutriment, but it has be-
sides a certain stimulative substance,
which is peculiar to the oat.
