ing the soil rich, than any other crop.
Now after going to all this care aud
expense can we have apples? We had
trees OH our place last year that were
seven years old that had u bushels on
apiece, and were loaded again this year;
and we have kept apples every year for
several years until April. Two years
ago / visited an orchard in Floyd coun-
ty, situated on the open prairie, not
the most favorable situation, that had
100 bushels of apples on the trees. 1
part of Fayette county, set out on quite
a steep north hillside, on land that was
not worth much for farming purposes,
that was loaded down with fine apples,
many of them good keepers. And /
have never seen an orchard where the
best conditions for success we're main.
tanned that did not pay.
There is one more thought i'm rela-
ton to the farmers fruit garden that 1
want 10 refer Ia and then L will close.
We have all noted what an appetite
children and especially boys have for
nil kinds of fruit, and especially APP
Piles; how they will eat them before
they are nearly grown, and what ques-
tionable methods they will take to get
them. Now if they are furnished
plenty of good fruit at home, the temp
tation to get it dishonesty is removed.
1t does seem to me that it is the duty
of every farmer to provide his family
with all the good fruit they want, so
far as is in his power, and that it will
pay not only financially but from a
physical and moral point of view.

How to Clean Gloves.

Gloves cleaned with naphtha are usu.
ally wrinkled and smell of tho cleansing
agent besides. A woman who has Lean.
ed to do the job successfully says that
she does it by drawing the glove ON the
hand. having first mended it neatly in
case it needs it; then with a clean
sponge kept for the purpose and small
bowl OF naphtha she goes smoothly over
the glove, rubbing one way until all
the spots are removed Then with a
clean towel she wipes the glove over
again before taking it off and pinning
it to a towel. When several. are thus
attached to the towel, she, puts it over
a chair or in some place where the air
will reach the gloves, and she does not
undertake to wear them for at least a
week after they have been thus cleaned.

am sure there will be one long, loud,
unanimous No"
Instead Of protests there will e
praises TO our God for answered prayer,
for splendid opportunities, for giori-
Gus Quito k, that demands ever in.
creasing gifts, and faith, courage, and
self-denial
Can it be possible that we can look
over the fields carefully, and see Tie
needs and golden opportunities, aud
feel the responsibilities of Christians
upon us. and then protest against
further expansion? For that is what "a
protest against increasing apportinn.
ments amounts to-.
Il IT ,mssible for Christians, under
standing the true character of the work
we are doing with our benevolent funds,
to say that this work must not spread
further; we draw the line here; we
ignore further opportunities; 5000 each
is all we can spend on the Lords work
We have reached the limit of our posi-
bilities.
Ofcourse we would like to see Hawaii,
and Porto Rico and Cuba. and thu
Philippines occupied by our mission
aries, and brought to the True Light of
the World; but if it means more thar
SO 60 apiece, we will be obliged to forego
the qualification of our desires in that
direction.
We should like to see the Light of
God spread over Africa and India and
China, and the entire heather world,
but we protest against the ever increas.
ing pportionment, even though these
heather countries lie in their heath
enism.
We will pray for the conversion of
the world louder and longer than ever,
and in the same breath protest against
any greater effort being made than we
are now making. Rather than
in protest, let us in silent sorrow for
our deeds, fall below our apportion-
ments; and rather than feel Indignant,
over the increasing apportionment, let
Indignation rise against the too large
number who pay nothing, or next to
nothing, towards the benevolences.
Having said thus much, it is not to
be concluded that your essayist is so
strongly on the side of increasing APP
portionment, that he is ready to say,
mot only let the apportionment in
crease, but the larger the increase the
better" That would be to run into the
very danger that was pointed out in
the first part of this paper.
All that we wish to be understood in
advocating is a gradual, steady and
healthy grOeOh.
All that we should protest against is
a failure to grow aud increase according
to our privileges.

Why is it that one man is old and
decrepid at As, and another hale and

takes of himself. Often mans body
gets out of repair-the trouble grows
until it lays him out in bed. When
ever man feels that he is not as he
ought to be, whenever he is listless,
without energy and without vitality,
whenever he finds that he is losing
weight and that his ordinary work
gives him undue fatigue, he needs DR..

If he keeps on working with his liver
inactive and his blood impure-he
keeps his nerves and his body under

called diseases because nearly all illness
spings from the same thing-bad
and consequent impure blood,
The discovery" makes the appetite

easy, and the blood rich and pure.
