A Queer % Medicine.

There is a Medicine whose pro-
prietors do not claim to have dis
covered some hitherto unknown in
gr edient, or that it is a cure-all. This
honest medicine only claims to cure
certain diseases, and that its ingred-
tents are recognized by the most skill

LUCKY kLONDIKERS.
New Workers Who Made Their For
tunes in the Gold Fields.

FRANKLINVILLE, n. Y, March g.
Dan G. Fraser and John NJ. Lent, who
went to the Alaska gold fields year
ago with but little more than enough
money to pay their way, now possess
fortunes, to express which will prob
ably require more than six figures.
Early this week Fraser and others
who went out together from Cattarau-
gus and Livingston Counties met the
agents of the Klondike, Yukon and
Copper River Prospecting, Mining and
Transportation Co. in New York. They
closed deal for the transfer of their
claims on Too-Much-GOld Greek, in
the Northwest Territory, ior a sum
said to be $500, 600 cash. John Lee is
said to have another claim valued at
S50O,OO0.
James Turnbull, Nathan Hogg. Wal

Hackett ofFranklinville: Frank Wood
ard of Deleyan, and +. f. Learn of
Black Creek, who will leave with Dan
Fraser this week for Alaska, have
concluded to 60 into the Copper River
gold district. Their plan is to leave
the steamer at Orca, on the south shore
of Alaska. They will proceed over
land about 80 miles around the rapids
of Copper River and then take to the
river. This will take them through
the most thickly wooded sections OF
Alaska and along streams that have
seldom been prospected. If they do
not meet with satisfactory finds they
will continue north to the Tanana
River, or strike the Forty Mile and
proceed to the KlOndike.

LIQUID MANURE FOR ORANGE
 TREES.

Have tight-roofed hen house and clean it out every week at least Have five or six kerosene barrels, which have beer sufficiently burned out to neutral ize the effects of the kerosene. in every barrel put four pailfuls of the dry manure and fill up with water. In a week from that time stir up theimix- ture and kep it stirred while carrying cut. Pour the bucketfuls to each tree, say one-year bud on a four-year stock. It makes considerable work but produces wonderful results. Have barrel of gypsum at hand, and throw a shovelful on the manure when it set ties away; it will save the ammonia For larger tree use more manure and more gypsum in proportion. The tree receives ammonia, sulphuric acid and sulphate of lime, besides other valu- able fertilizing ingredients. One-third bone meal added to the poultry manure makes an excellent mixture Never put lime with manure.
 The droppings from one full grown fowl during the night for the space of one year exceeds twenty pounds, eLorgh to fertilize, with other ingredi- ents, a number of trees, depending on the size. Two hundred fowls will pro- duce twenty-four barrels of manure in a year. It may seem a large amount to the reader. It demonstrates that poultry pays. All who can should keep hens, as many as possible, and count on the manure as a substantial part of the profits.

CURING ONIONS.

The following method of curing on- ions preparatory to storage is from Home and Farm. If the results named follow it will be of great value to growers:
 For the benefit Of those interested in onion culture. wish to give my ex- per:ence. For long time I was at a loss as to how to cure onions so they would keep without rotting. I tried different ways my neighbors suggested, all of which failed. At last I came across piece in one of Ferring's cata- iogues telling how to save them. I followed his directions and was suc- cessufl. When your onions are ma tured they should be pulled up and left on top of the row. Let them re- main in the sun two or three days. TEen go back and turn them over. so that the sap will dry out They should remain in the sun two weeks. After this cut tops off and stow away. Be careful not to bruise them or put too many in heap. to prevent heating."

WHAT A GARDEN IS WORTH.

Tie value of a good garden is more than is appreciated. It is a satisfac- tior to all the family, especially to the mother, who is enabled to get supplies from it for the meals she has to pre- pare. The man who plants it, too, is proud of first class garden. In this section, where the soil is quick to re- spond to the influence of heat, moist ure- fertilizer and cultivation, garden ing should be pleasure.
 In laying of the little plot arrange your rows so as to permit the use of the cultivator; have long, straight rows of vegetables. If you plan to do all the cultivation with hoe your garden vii lbe full of weeds.
 Some of our readers may have seen gardens with weeds higher than a mans head-digging potatoes there was not easy nor were the tubers large. Not half of our farmers have enough sorts in their garden. Think what value there would be in having an abundance of pie plant, lettuce, rad ishes, peas, beans, beets, turnips, cab bages, onions, potatoes. sweet corn. squash, cucumbers and all the small fruits, tomatoes, a few apples, peaches,

GARDEN POINTERS.

Growing Turuips.-July ts inc month small, the ground must be plowed and then narrowed down to as fine condi- tion as possiblt. The most important point in growing turnips is in the fine soil. Sow the seed in rows which will permit of using horse hoes, and seed with hand drill which is regulated so as to cover the seed perfectly. Use plenty of seed. as the fly does consider able damage during some years to plants when they are just appearing. If too thick in the rows the plants may
 be thinned with a hoe. Cultivate as soon as the growth of the plants will permit If this is not done weeds and grass may get the start, especially that
 persistent pest known as crab grass. A light skinning of the surface close to the plants after every rain, using hand wheel hoe, will prevent weeds and grass. After the turnip plants have made considerable growth they shade the soil and can hold their own against weeds, but the best crops are
 secured when the turnips are kept clean. The ground should be manured
 and the manure worked in with har-
 row before planting the seed.
 Horse Radish.-The best way to grow horse radish is from the little
 roots four or five inches in length, and
 not from the crowns These small roots vii produce good radish fit for use in one seasons growth. Plant the set small end down, where the slant | ing cut iS and so that the cut will be
 two inches under the soil. It can re-
 main in the ground until late in the autumn, and be pitted, or portion can
 remain in the ground until spring. A dczen roots will give all that will be
 needed for family use for lifetime for 1t constantly increases, and the danger | is that it will spread too fast and be-
 come troublesome It is best, there | fore, to plant it in some corner of the
 garden where it can grow without in turing anything.
 Fight Weeds.-Weeds get the mas
 tery at the start because they are all ways adapted to the soil in which they
 grow. In making rapid growth a weed sends its roots out in every direction, seizing all the supplies in the soil and starving other plants. If not soon re- moved the large weeds shade the plants of the crop and also appropriate all the moisture within reach If the weeds are destroyed when very young then the crop takes possession, rendering it mere difficult for the next lot of weeds to thrive. Land cannot grow two cI opc at the same time, and as long
 as the weeds have place they take
 as much plant food from the soil as is removed by crops

WAS WRONG TWENTY YEARS.

Two men were walking down Ninth street when they came in sight of a jewellers shop from which was dis played a wooden imitation of a clock.
 Said the tall man: Do you know why the hands of these dummy clocks invariably point to 8:20?'
 'As matter of fact" said the short mar, ''they don't invariably. Wher they do. it is because it displays tn he1 ds to the best advantage.
 Not at all" returned the tall man with tinge of coming triumph in his voice. ''It is because it marks the ex- act moment when President Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's theater.''
 Does it, indeed?" exclaimed the
