REFRIGERATOR CRATE.

It. This, perhaps, saved space, but did
not carry the fruit in so good condition.
The idea in the newest pattern seems to
be that the ice is distributed over the
entire upper surface of the crate, thus
cooling the whole evenly, and as cold
air settles, it goes all down through the
crate uniformly. The berries in these
crates seem to arrive in fine condition.
The construction is pretty we'll shown
In the illustration. This crate meas
ured, outside measure, about two feet
two inches by two feet six inches by
two feet seven inches. It held four
layers of quart baskets, 16 in each lay
er-64 in all. AS shown, drain pipe
extends from the bottom of the crate
up nearly to the bottom of the pan,
and a spout from the latter drains off
the water from the melting ice. The
ice-pan can be lifted out to get at the
berries. There is a ventilator through
the middle of the crate, as shown. The
whole is solidly built. The cover is
fastened on with bolts set stationary
in the crate, projecting through the
corners of the cover, and fastened with
nuts. The latter cause good deal of
trouble to receivers, as they are sunken
In the cover, and it is difficult to get at
them with an ordinary wrench. Most
of them hold five tiers-SO quarts. The
artist drew a 64-Quart one.

Pens for the Orchard.

There is no grain that can be profit
ably grown in the orchard except the
pea. A summer growth of buckwheat
may not do any injury, but it does
not enrich the soil even when plowed
under, as does the pea crop. Besides,
the pea vines lie close on the ground,
and their large leaves shade it just
as it needs be shaded during the hot,
dry weather of July and August.
Large as it's leaves are, the pea vine
takes very little moisture from the soil.
Usually its leaves are wet with dew in
the night, which runs off and fertilizes
the soil below, and also keeps it moist.
If the peas are sown late and not cut,
but allowed to lie on the ground and
be fed off by hogs, there is very ma
terial gain in soil fertility over leav-
ing the land uncropped through the
season.

DOCTORS DON'T DENY IT.
The frank testimony of a
famous physician.

When pr. Aver announced his sarsapa-
rilla to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such remedy
was what they had looked for, and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine-known
as patent medicine-is so generally ad-
ministered and prescribed by physicians as
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition of the blood. Experience
has proved it to be specific in such
diseases, and sores of long standing old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism, and many
other like forms of disease have yielded to
the persevering use of DR.. Ayers sarsapar-
lila after other medicines had utterly failed.
The testimonials received from physicians
to the value of this remedy would fill a
volume. Here is one leaf signed by Richd
H. Lawrence, M. D., Baltimore, Md.

1t was not SO very long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was out
walking with his wife, and sudden shower
came up. There were no cars accessible, and
the only thing to do was to run, and the
unlucky pair did this with vengeance,
reaching the house hot, uncomfortable, and
pretty wet.
"Well, we are here at last" said the man,
drawing long breath of relief.

AN EVERGREEN HEDGE.
When Properly Cared For 1t IL .
Thing of Beauty and an Orna-
ment That Always Pleascs.

Many people like a screen Of ever
green trees as windbreak around
some of the farm buildings, and others
fancy few of them in a clump or stand
ing singly as ornaments or shades
around the grounds, yet many who set
them find fault with them after they
have been growing few years, because
the lower limbs grow rusty or die out
entirely, and must be cut away, leav-
ing the trunk exposed, and perhaps de-
stroying their usefulness as a protec-
ton against the wind, which seems to,
or, in fact, does, come under the
branches that remain with more force
than it would blow if the trees were not
there. We know of but one remedy for
this, and that is the use of the pruning
knife.
Cut back the top each year about two
thirds of the growth it has made, and
cut the ends of the upper limbs so as to
keep the whole tree in pyramidal form.
Then thin out few limbs near the bot
tom, that the sun may shine into it a
little, and the lower limbs will keep up
their growth of green, and others will
spread out to fill the spaces where
limbs were removed. The hemlock lends
itself kindly to this treatment and
should be- used oftener than it is.
But whatever variety may be used,
they should be set far enough apart so
that the limbs will fairly meet without
crossing when they have been set a few
years. We have seen them set so closely
together that at four or five years
old they met, and then every other one
was cut out, and they were expected to
spread out to fill the gap. This was the
intention when they were planted, as
the owner could not wait for his hedge
or windbreak. But the result was not
satisfactory. They had acquired the
habit of upright growth, being un-
pruned, and did not spread as he ex-
pected.
If they had been set twice as far
apart at first and cut back at the ton
they would have filled the space fully in
but little more time than at the half
distance, and much more thoroughly
than they ever did after being thinned.
Such hedge where land is not too
valuable may be "a thing of beauty and
joy for great many years if proper
~ cared for, but if neglected or improp-
erly treated it may be an eyesore before
it has ever served the purpose for which

HE WAS DISAPPOINTED.
The Unsatisfactory Experience of a
Farmer Who Planted n Squash
Crop on Muck Land.

A number of years ago broke up
tract located just back of the horse
barn. The soil is jet black, the location
low and during the winter overlooked.
1t is too soft at any season of the year
to team over, but during the summer is
sufficiently dry for tillage crops. Jim
Lane "a hardy, tough Irishman, who
has rested from his earthly labors now
for many years., and tapped cess
pool which bordered on the meadow,
and carried the night soil on handbar-
rows to each hill, manuring very liber-
ally. AS the season advanced the vines
started off almost on the run, for with
the nitrogen in the night soil added to
the nitrogen of the rich meadow they
had a mighty dose of it. The rank vines,
with the ends of their runners lifted
into the air, and their tips bent just I'M
der, looked for all the world like tan
gle of green serpents straining to free
themselves. The crop was large one,
of large Hubbard squashes, of a Pc
culiar rich, light green color. With the
exception of few which grew along
Cuc UOIucIS VI D. ulICQ winch ran
through the meadow, that were more
or less eaten by musl1rats, the crop was
safely housed before the first frost. The
final result was anything but satisfac-
tory, for the quality of the squash proved
to be quite inferior; they were rather
punky in their structure and soggy in
their make up, both of which character
istics helped them on to an early and
rapid decay. The two lessons learned
from that experiment we're, first, to keep
squashes off muck unless it had first
been heavily treated to sand or gritty soil,
a hundred loads to the acre, to supply
the silica which is wanting in all mere
~ vegetable deposit; second, to use min
eral manures, such as unbleached wood
ashes and dissolved bone, rather than
those strong in nitrogen on soil that
is already rich in that element-James

POTATO COVERER.

When furrowing these rows let the
earth be turned outward in each of the
two rows to be covered by the machine.
This will result in drawing the earth
back over the seed, and will not ridge it
up between the rows. The burrows can
be made in sets of two each, for this
purpose. The horse goes between the
rows and the handles permit one to
draw back over the seeds just enough
of the soil to cover them PROPERLY
