IN Conclusion, Let Me
Say That I Would Not
Pretend TO Farm Without It.

CEVEN YEARS ago, Mr.. w. Holmes
- Hardin, of Chester county, enjoyed
the distinction of being one of the most
practical and successful farmers in the
Piedmont section, and according to the
best information at hand he still ranks
among the first. The appended endorse
ment of the Corbin Disk Harrow was
written by him in March, 1890, and what
he said then we are sure he will endorse
now. Read it and do some thinking:
CHESTER, S. c., March q, 1890.
SAM M. GRIsT, Yorkville, 5. e.: Dear
Sir: have owned Corbin Disk Harrow
for several years, and consider it the most
useful and economical farming imple-
ment of which I have any knowledge.
Mr.. Corbin has done more for the farmer
than all the politicians, reformers, etc.,
combined. He has done something prac-
tical. No farmer can fail to be benefited
by the use Of the Harrow, and the more 1t
is used the greater the benefit or profit.
It is almost the only sO-called improved
farming implement that 1 have ever seen
that would do all it's manufacturers claim
ed for it, and the only one that would do
more. Every farmer should have one,
and man who is able to buy fertilizers
for his land is more able to buy Corbin
Disk Harrow. The time will come when
ed as much of necessity on the farm as
the wagon, sewing machine, cooking
stove, and I might say, the plow and the
sooner it comes the better for the farmer.
1t only takes farmer, who has been ac-
customed to the old way of doing things,
about one hour to realize how much time
and labor he has literally wasted before
he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu
sion, let me say that l would not pretend
to farm without it. Respectfully,
w. HOLMES HARDIN.
We sell the ENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW. 1t has never had success
ful rival. If you want so-called Spad-
ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one
made by the manufactures of the Corbin.
The Corbin has solid disks and they are
the best but as stated we can furnish the
other if you prefer to take the opinion of
someone who has had less experience than
we, and will furnish the best harrow of
that pattern on the market. It's mechan-
ism is identically the same as the Corbin,
the only difference being in the disks.

BEST WAY TO MAKE LEMONADE
The best lemonade is made by boiling
sugar and water together and adding
the lemon juice after it is cold. Use
one pound of sugar to each quart of
water; add the juice of six lemons
and the desired quantity of water at
serving time. Pineapple lemonade
may be made by boiling together one
quart of water, one pound of sugar
and the grated rind of one lemon for
five minutes. Strain when cold, add
the juice of six lemons, one pineapple
pared and picked into very small par
ticles, and either quart of water or
Il quart of Apollinaris water.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

SIMMER PRUNING.

With all varieties of trees more or
less pruning is necessary in order to
secure a proper growth and shape.
Just how much pruning shall be given
can be determined only by the growth
and thrift of the tree and the shape
and form desired by the owner. There
are so many varying conditions under
which the work must be done that no
set of rules can be laid down. The
Judgment of the owner must largely
determine how and when to prune.
Pruning when the tree is dormant
helps the growth. Pruning during
growth tends to check it, and with
thrifty, growing trees this is often
desirable in order to make an even
development of roots and top. Trees
should always be pruned when they
are transplanted, cutting back the tops
in proportion to the roots.
Then, from this on, annual pruning
can nearly always be given. One de-
cided advantage in annual pruning is
that the necessity for the removal of
large limbs is avoided and better
shaped tree can be secured. AS the
tree grows it can be shaped as desired,
with very little work and much more
satisfactorily than if the tree is allow
ed to grow its own way for several
years and then an attempt made to
prune it into proper shape.
Annual summer pruning has the ad-
vantage of discarding the use Of the
knife and saw, for nearly or quite all
the pruning necessary can be given
with the thumb and finger, and rub
bing or pinching off the undesirable
growth. The work can be done easily
and rapidly, and the nutriment that
would otherwise be wasted in growing
aud maturing branches that will need
TO be removed later will be diverted
into other channels. 1t is good plan
TO 90 over the tree two or three times
during the summer and give such pru'
ming as seems necessary in this way.
With small fruits this plan of pru-
ming is especially good. With rasp-
berries, pinching of the ends of the
growing canes after proper height
has been reached, not only keeps them
under control better, but induces
throwing out of more laterals and
will nearly always cause a stockier
growth.
Grapevines, and, in fact, all varie.
ties of small fruits can be pruned
during the summer to good advantage,
and in nearly all cases with better
results than at any other time.-St.
Louis Republic.

PREVENTION AGAINST BoRERs.-
The injuries of the apple tree borer
may be prevented by applying late in
May or early in June, and twice later
at intervals of three weeks, strong
solution of soft soap to which has been
added little crude carbolic acid. 1t
will be made more effective and per-
manent by the addition of a small
amount Of paris green and lime. A
paint made of pure white lead and
Iinseed oil has also been found to pro.
duce excellent results.

p9- Many Episcopal bishops are in
the habit of describing themselves "by
Divine permission, bishop of" their
diocese, in official documents. A Ger
tain bishop not long ago had occasion
to send such a document to most
devout, but not highly educated, lay.
man. There it became the duty OF
the layman to draw up and sign an
official document relating to some
church business, and noticing the
phrase referred to in the bishops
paper, he thought it was incumbent
upon him, also to recognize the Divine
guidance. So, in entire good faith, he
described himself as "John Smith, by
Divine permission, grocer and dealer
in all kinds of -four and feed" The
paper never got into the archives OF
the church, however.

A HARD HANDICAP.-A party OF
football devotees were in an elevated
train, and the other passengers were
much annoyed by their loud and bois'

tirely to the game and its players.
One young fellow boasted so long and
earnestly about his running abilities
that crusty old man in the opposite
corner resolved to take some of the
conceit out of the youngster.
$50 you think you can run little ?"
he demanded.
"Bet your life I can," was the
prompt reply. ;,
"I'll tell you what I'll do with you"
continued the old man. '1'll race you
for a s5 bill if you'll give me yard
start" -,
"I'Il 90 you. But where will we
run?"

ply.

Bigham, a newly married lady, does

room when the cook came and said:
"Will you please glib me out de cof-

g6~ Cut this out and save it during
the summer, when the festive fly ap'
pears. When he comes again mix
equal parts by measure of resin
and castor oil, and when the mixture
is made by melting the resin, stirring
thoroughly one minute, put it away to
cool, when it is ready. Spread it on
some kind of paper that will not ab-
sorb it easily, such as manila or FOOLS
cap, leaving a margin around the edge
of the paper, so it can be handled
without difficulty, and it is ready for
the fly to get his feet tangled in, as he
will surely do. Place these sheets
about the house wherever the flies in
trude. For getting those on the out
side, take several pieces Of strawboard, ,
cut holes in them about the size of q
nickel, on the underside Of the straw
board spread some molasses, and
place them over a receptacle contain
ing soapsuds. The flies will be attract
ed by the sweetness on the under side,
and will fall into the suds and drown.

SELF HELP In CASE OF FIRE.-As a
house is never attacked by fire at the
top and bottom at once, if there is a
safe and ready exit at both top and
bottom, very little danger to life is to
he feared. 1t is important that all
exits should he so known as to be
easily found, by day or night, by every
inmate of the house. If the clothes
you have on catch fire, blanket, rug,
or some such woolen article should be
quickly and tightly wrapped around
you. Air is thus excluded and the
fire goes out.

FACTS ABOUT WAGON ROADS,
Some one has estimated that we have
roads in this country, 100000 miles
in length, over which are hauled every
year 5OO,OOO,OOO tons of material, the
average haul being eight miles, at a
cost of 50 per ton, which makes the
total cost of hauling reach the enor-
nous sum of Sl,OOO,0O0,000. 1t is
urged that with good roads the haul
ing would cost only soc. per ton in
stead of 80, thus making a saving OF
5000, 100000 per year, which is one
fourth the value Of all the farm pro-
ducts of the country used on the farms.
1t is, therefore, cheaper to expend a
sufficient fund at once to put roads in
good condition than to attempt to re-
pair them every year.
