THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS


IS due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
60 the care and skill with which IL is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only, and we. wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRSIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far ia advance of all other laxatives,
ms ii acts ON the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order TO get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

When the finest strawberries are desired,
keep off the runners.
In picking apples to keep care must be
taken hot to bruise them.
Sheep in the orchard do we'll. They eat
the wormy apples without choosing
Asparagus may be transplanted now at
any time after the tops begin to decay.
Dry earth is the best material in which
to pack sweet potatoes for long keeping.
Short forked trees and those with the
main branches all diverging from one
place are not fit to plant. They are certain
to split sooner or later.
Old orchards may be renovated by plow
ing shallow, and thoroughly manuring,
pruning and whitewashing the trees so as
to get the soil and trees in good condition.
If the past seasons growth of young
wood on the branches is any less than a
foot long, it indicates that the soil is not
properly cultivated or that it needs enrich
Ing
In many cases when trees are to be set
out in the spring it will be a good plan to
secure them in the fall and heel them in
SO that they will be ready for planting out
in good season. ST. Louis Republic.

Origin of Freeh Older.

Hon. b. F. Lee, of Trenton, has con-
tributed to the current number of the New
Jersey LaD Journal an interesting article
on the origin of the Boards of Freeholders
as existing in the counties of New Jersey.
The creation of these bodies antedates the
present State Constitution. In early
colonial days freemen" and 6 freeholders"
meant much the same thing. The forlner
swore allegiance to the King, were adj
mitted to cultivate the ground, and became
freeholders Freeholders met annually to
choose freeholders TO represent them in
their respective parishes and other divis-
ions. When the county governments of
the East and West Jerseys were organized,
the Board of Ch sen Freeholdersp ap-
peared as the governing body. In 1888
the law of the land provided that free
holder should bold title to fifty acres of
land, ten of which must be under cnltiva-
ton, or. in a borough, house and three
acres of land, or. If he be tenant, fifty
pounds value of bis own The act of 1908
divided the counties of the State. estab-
Iished clearly the Office of Chosen Free
holder, and = later achof 1713 fixed more
clearly the duties associated with the
Office.
