FRUIT ON THE FARM.
Every Man Living in the Country
Should Raises Ample supply
for Home Use.

The greater value of fruit growing
to the farmer is not primarily in its
commercial aspect, or how much
money it will bring in. although the
receipts from the sale of the surplus
are not to be despised. either; it is
rather the ''health of good living" that
comes from an abundan mt supply of all
kinds of fruit that may be readily
grown in that locality, so that all the
year round the family may have all
they can consume. There are fruit
specialists, she Homestead remarks.
of course, just as there are specialists
in other lines of farm industry, who
make a handsome income out of the
orchard and small fruit paintings.
They like the work and therefore learn
it easily and keep on learning until
they are gray. andtheir knowledge be-
comes more valuable every year by
accretion. Any young farmer who be-
gins on scale adapted to his home
needs may grow into specialist of
this kind, but thousands never do.
This is no reason why the thousands
should not have all the fruit their fam
lilies can use. Beginning with the most
useful kinds and those most easily
grown. the farmer can gradually sur
round himself with a good home or
chard and small fruits of all kinds,
that improve his living and reduce
it's cost, thus adding to his comfort
and independence. We do not find it
necessary to do much in the way of
urging horticulture. Those who are
already fitted for it know enough
about it to determine for themselves
whether or not they shall engage in it,
while those who are not sufficiently
informed must work their way to it,
if at all, by beginning at the bottom,
of the ladder; and there is no better
way to do this than by beginning with
a few good trees in home orchard,
and small areas of small fruit for
home use. We do urge this upon every
farmer. If no cash income ever
comes, from it, it is still worth all the
expense in time and money that it
costs.

How to Market Pears.

The pear is one of the finest fruits
that we have. and when picked at the
proper time and well ripened it is
delicious morsel. We're it not for the
blight to which many varieties are sub
ject it would be planted more large
" than ii is. The pear should never
be allowed to ripen on the tree, but
should be picked several days before
ripening and sent Immediately to
market. If retained a few DAYS, they
soon begin to soften and are liable to
bruise in carrying to market. marring
their appearance and injuring their
sale. In order to obtain the top price
for pears send them in new clean crates
of one bushe1 in each crate, wrap each
pear in thin, clean white paper, and
pack closely together.

Literature of HorticuIture.

It will be necessary to use very nice
judgment in applying the principles
which govern tree growth and fruit
productions; but in these days of album
dant horticultural literature and ex-
cellent books Oil orchard economy, no
one ought to be at a loss to know what
to do for the best under his own con-
ditions. No two cases are exactly
alike. Advice for your neighbor would
be wholly inapplicable under your
conditions. Every man must work out
his own salvation in temporal as well
as in spiritual things, and the plum
will go to the man who applies a lib
eral dressing of brains to his land

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Never pasture an orchard until it
comes into bearing.
New wood always bears the best
fruit. Remember this in pruning.
> Evaporating is usually a profitable
way of disposing of unmarketable
fruit.
Worthless and decaying trees in the
orchard are only harboring places for
vermin.
$ Plum trees will not do well in sod.
Good cultivation from the start is nee
essary.
Watering with tobacco water is one
of the best remedies for worms in
flower pots.
The ounce requires but little prun-
ing-only little thinning out of the
crowding branches,
When a peach tree has ceased to
bear. the cutting off of the old wood
will give it new life and vigor.
One pint of linseed oil, four pounds
OF rosin and one pound OF beeswax
makes good grating wax.
With raspberries. as soon as the
bearing season is over. cut the old
wood and the new shoots to four or
five in each hill, always bearing in
mind that to make next seasons crop
healthy growth of vigorous shoots
must be secured at this time.-St.
Louis Republic.

THE KITCHEN WASTE.
1t Makes the Richest Kind of Fer
tilizer for Flower Beds and ALI
Garden Crops.

There is nolnecessity for throwing
the waste from the kitchen into the
drain from the house, and to do so is
absolute waste of valuable fertilizing
material. Dishwater, soapsudS and
all such waste products make the best
kind of fertilizers for grape vines, cur
rant and gooseberry bushes and trees,
and vegetable parings may be put to
good use by being kept separate,
cooked and mixed with bran as a feed
for pigs and chickens.
The richest kind of fertilizer that
can be made Cor flowers and garden
crops is to make a flat pile of sods, lawn
clippings and other such material, on
which is thrown the soapsuds and dish
water and other liquid waste from the
kitchen and house. This compost pile
should be turned over once in awhile
SO as to become thoroughly mixed and
rotted together, and then use where a
quick and thrifty growth is desired.
All garden crops require an extra
amount of plant food because they
have been bred to make quick
growth, and are ravenous foragers in
every case. There is not single gar
den crop that is not benefited by fer
tilizing, no matter how fertile the soil
may be. Cabbages, tomatoes, cucum-
bers and melon vines, beets, onions,
lettuce, and radishes respond to extra
fertilizing very promptly, and if the
kitchen and house waste is utilized the
average family makes enough of this
waste in year to fertilize the garden.
Soapsuds and dishwater are both
rich in potash, and the garden crops
take to them very kindly. If employed
in this way the waste may be put to
good use. instead of clogging up the
drain and creating an unpleasant and
disease-breeding odor through the
warm months.-Farmers' Voice.

SHORTENED HIS SENTENCE.
The Judge Took in the Situation at a
Glance and Allowed for
Time Service.

A man charged with bigamy was
once brought before Judge Gary, of
Illinois. The accused had lived two
years with the second woman. and he
concluded to plead guilty on the I'M
Outstanding with the states attorney
that his sentence would divorce him
from No. 2. When he stood before
Judge Gary the little man looked over
his desk and asked in a voice of kind
ness:
"You fully understand what the plea
of guilty means ?"
''Yes, your honor"
''And do you understand if you so
plead it will be my duty to send you to
the penitentiary? Do you understand
that? ''
Eyes, your honor. Anything to get
free"
The judge looked at the man for a
moment and then said in his inimit BILE
manner:
81 suppose there are some things be-
side which prison would be a relief.
Any relative or friend of the defendant
in court ?''
a woman in black stood up on a
bench, and said in a voice which sound
ed like a rip of cambria:
81 am his second wife, judge"
Judge Gary replied Immediately
with no change in his voice or face:
'Some things beside which prison
would be a relief. You ought to be
willing>t to take three years.
The prisoner nodded an assent.
Judge Gary looked over at the WON
an in black. He seemed to read her in

had pleaded guilty and said:
