HORTICULTURE

E cry farmer should produce his

American Agriculturist. The theory
that fruit can be purchased cheaper
than grown may sound all right, bat
the results are not satisfactory, for in
stead of buying, the family are com
PEELED to go without it. No money
consideration al atone for absence of
health so often caused by the lack of
fruit. The stra wberries are the first of
the season, and can be easily grown.
Raspberries come next followed by
blackberries, plums, grapes and apples.

this way choice plums can b had from
Auguss-to October at merely a nominal
cost. Do not rob your children of the
opportunity TO look back with pleasure
to their home, where many hours of
enjoyment we're spent in eating fruit
from their own trees.

USES OF FRUIT.

Prof. A. r. Elliott ('Dietetic and Hy-
gienic Gsz Site" November) summar
ICES the uses of fruit as follows:
1. To furnish variety TO the diet.
2. To relieve thirst and introduce
water into the system.
8. To furnish nutriment.
4 To supply organic salts essential
to proper nutrition.
5 To stimulate the kidneys, increase
the flow of urine and lower its acidity.
6. To act as laXatives.
2. To stimulate and improve appetite
and digestion.
8. To act as antiscorbuties.
Concerning the mode of preparation,
ripe fruits as q rule do not need to be
cooked, and are much NOR pslatable
and equally nutritious in the knocked
state. The proper time to eat fruit is
either at the beginning Of the meal or
between meals, when they aid diges
ton and exert the greater laxative
effect. Taken at the completion of the
meal, they dilute the gastric juice and
tend to embsrrass digestion.

CREDIT SYSTEM DRcAYING.

That bane of the South, the credit
system, is disappearing, we are glad to
say. For instance, the Sheridan Head
light, having special reference to Ar
kansas. says:
"a few years ago the country mer
chants of this State did a great furnish
ing business, and when the fall Of the
year came around they owned two
thirds of the corn and cotton In their
immediate communities. Most of the
farmers were in debt after they had
sold their crops, and were compelled to
mortgage in advance for supplies to
make another crop on. The merchant
paid a big price for his goods, and
necessarily sold them at enormous
profits. Thus the country people we're
forced to maintain q system that was
more Injurious in its effects than the
worst drought that might prevail. But
there came a time when this supply
system had a set back. Short crops
and low prices drove the merchants to
adopt a safer plan. They were unable
to buy goods themselves On long time
payments, and we're unable to borrow
o on tine collateral they had.
Therefore, they had to refuse credit to
the farmers they had been furnishing
for years. Of course, this was a hard
ship on the farmer, but the enforced
economy that attended his business
gave him resources to go on he had
never known before. A second year,
followed, and the farmer had more at
home than when he began his previous
crop, and when a third year rolled
around he was able to pay for what he
wanted, despite short crops and low
prices. Now, who will say that the
condition that brought about a discon.
%tinuance of the general credit system
in Arkansas was not a blessing in dis
guise9 The farmer, being unable to
get credit, owns his crop when it is
made, and can expend the proceeds
thereof as he sees fit. The merchant
is in better shape than when his books
were full of doubtful accounts, and al.
together the improvement is most de-
sirable. We could wish devoutly that
the credit system were abolished N
tirely. Merchants and farmers should
unite their Efforts to stamp it out en-.
tirely. All have a common interest in

PECULIAR REMEDY FOR BLIGHT
ON APPLE TREES.

MI. w. Fl. Wilson, of Norfolk Co.,
Ma, writes the Southern Planter as
follows: I'm my apple orchard Ihave
six trees that regularly blighted, and
the fruit would rot before it got ripe. I
made up my mind that I would kill the
trees. In the summer Of 1896, I took
my knife and cut out a belt of bark all
around four of the trees. From the
fifth one 1 cut out a belt, and then
stripped the bark to the ground. The
sixth one I did not belt. / noticed the
trees later in the summer and found
they had each formed new bark where
belted. 1 decided then to let them
stand another year, and to my surprise
the trees l belted are now loaded down
with fruit, and the fruit has not rotSed
half so much on these as it has done on
the tree that I did not belt"

comes necessary to develop flavor, as
the oxidation is only partial.
80. The natural butter flavor, &c
veloped by oxidation, is milder than
the tactic acid favor, developed by
souring. Hence it is that many con
sumers prefer the latter, which they
are used to. as nearly all the butter is
made from sour cream.
SO. The contradictory opinions In re-
gard to sweet cream butter appear to
come from the different ways in which
the cream is handled, only afew know
ing how to do it right. But if only one
makes good sweet cream butter, it
demonstrates the fact that it can be
done.

BUTTER MAKING.
46. AS a rule, with any kind Of set

be at the top as soon as the tempera-
ture stops falling. 1t will, if the tenn
perature is run down to forty five de-
grees or below. The more rapid the
cooling, the more rapid the separation.
1t is not we'll to go below freezing.
AZ. 1t is best to remove the cream
while the milk is sweet, so that the
milk can be fed sweet to the pigs or
calves. No good dairyman favors let

to change before skimming To let the

thoroughly stir and mix it with the
mass. Add no ream for twelve hours
before churning, as it will not ripen

in the buttermilk.
48. The cream should be churned as
soon as it becomes slightly acid. If
souring goes beyond this, the acid be-
gins 10 cut and waste the butter fats.
Some, however, let the cream go so far
as to even Topper. This gives a positive
Tactic acid flavor to the butter, which
many like, while the extra amount Of
caseine retained in the butter makes up
in weight for the loss of some of the
finer fats.
, 49. 1t was claimed by the elder
Voelcker, Chemist of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society, of England, and by
the late Prof. L. B. Arnold, that the
finest favored and longest keeping
butter is churned from sweet cream
and is free from Gaseous matter; while
some claim that such butter is insipid
in flavor and does not keep we'll.
so But sweet cream must be- ripened
by oxidizing before churning, and ex
perimenters say that it must be churned
at a lower temperature than sour
cream, in order to secure the best yield.
The best temperature in which to ripen
cream is about sixty degrees. It should
be kept cool, not below forty degrees.

club passed a resolution ITO have moth
ing on our tables that is not raised on

At q recent meeting of the club re
ports were called for, and a large num-
Der reported very favorably upon the
results. A strict adherence to the reso
luton had on many farms, resulted In
q greatly increased variety of garden
products ard q surprising increase In
bank accounts. One all. wheat farmer
was compelled, in order to carry out
the resolution, to abandon his previous
system of farming, with the result
that, while his cash receipts were $500
less than the previous year, his net
profits were 5000 greater. Under the
plan of growing money crops and rely
ing on their proceeds to supply the
wants of the family, the farmer may
handle more money, but a good deal
less Of it stays in his pocket book, and
q good many wants of the family go
unsupplied because the proceeds won't
reach, whereas, with a farm on which
the makingof a home and supplying its
wants are the first consideration, the
receipt of q cash income being mads
subsidiary thereto, the family live bet
ter, enjoy life more, and, with we'll
directed effort, have more money at
the end of the wear.

TO KEEP CHICKS HEALTHY.

1t is one thing to get chicks Matched
out and altogether another thing TO
raise them. We all know this, and
just now let US talk about the raising.
Every one has noticed how bright,
sleek and active a chick is that has
been Matched by the hen that stole her
nest and then kept her chicks out of
eight for a week. How happy we would
be if all our chicks looked as we'll.
Three things are necessary to the
health Of chicks: good feed clear water,
and clean quarters l find the best
feed for young chicks, is a bread made
from i've parts wheat shorts, and one
part corn meal. These should bestirred
into sour milk, TO which saleratus and
a little salt has been added. I do not
bother to knead it, but stir it stiff and
bake it in bread tins. If I haven't the
milk 1 use water and put a little vinegar
and lard into it, half a cup of each TO
a gallon Of water. Wheat and boiled
potatoes make a good feed for the older
chicks.
Poultry is injured by the pres
ence Of clean dirt, but vermin will Ger
tainly kill them.
The cheapest and best all-round rem
edy for all kinds of lice, bugs, ants,
worms, microbes, etc is kerosene and
plenty of it. When I set a hen I wet a
rag with it and spread it odt in the
bottom of the nest, then cover it with
a little straw. AS long as the smell Of
kerosene remains, lice will not bother,
and the chicks will come out healthy.
Sprinkle the coops once each week and
they will remain free from lice

The Most Approved Method of Dressing
Chickens and turkeys
The following advice about how to
prepare chickens and turkeys for mar,
ket is given by a we'll known produce
commission house in Chicago:
Keep from food "a hours. Kill by
bleeding in the mouth or opening the
veins in the neck. Hang by the feet
until properly bled. Head and feet
should be left on and the intestines
and crop should not be drawn. For
scalding poultry the water should be as
near the boiling point as possible with
out actually boiling. Pick the legs
dry before scalding, Hold by the head
and legs and immerse and lift up and
down three times. IL the head is i'm
mersed, it turns the color OF the comb
and gives the eyes a shrunken appear
ance, which leads buyers to think the
fowl has been sick.
1.-THE feathers and pinfeathers should
be removed Immediately, very clearly
