THE HUCKLEBERRY.
Fame and Fortune Await the Man
Who Will Succeed in Jmprov-
ing and EnIarSing 1t.

Sometimes somebody will make
money growing the delicious huckle-
berry. 1t is product of considerable
commercial Importance. In the height
of the season New York takes 1900
bushels a day and the receipts at Chi
cago and other large cities are large.
Wisconsin markets from 100000 to $780,
600 worth a year. But the wild berry is
becoming scarcer and in time will cease
10 exist. The huckleberry and blue
berry are exceedingly shy in habit,
and there is some difficulty in domesti-
eating them, but enough has been done
i'll that direction to show that it is
possible. If small bushes are removed
from high ground, with ball of earth
attached to each, in the early spring,
and planted closely together in soil in
which there is plenty of sand and loam,
the chances are that they will grow
and produce for many years. Cultiva-
ton will probably greatly enlarge the
fruit, and whoever can esta blish a
huclleberry patch will find more profit
in it than was ever made from the
blackberry or is now being made from
the strawberry. On some farms there
are unused swamps that might be
profitably utilized in growing certain
varieties of the huckleberry such as the
Canadian.-Agricultu Epitomist.

GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
value OF an HOnored Trade Name Uo.
held by the United State.
Circuit Court

The California Fig Syrup Co.. of San
Francisco, has just won a LEGAL victory
which is of utmost public interest. as it
establishes judicially a fact long recog-
nlzed ethically that the name or the
ute OF an article is valuable property,
entltled TO the same protection as chat
tels or commercial paper. The COM
pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired a yalu-
able reputation under the name Syrup
OF Figs" or Fig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
20. took the matter in the United States
courts and obtained a permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:
1T is thereupon ordered adjudged and
oecreed, that the injunction and restrain
ing order heretofore made herein be con-
tinued until final decree herein, and to that
end that an injunction be issued as prayed
for in the bill of complaint herein, strictly
commanding and enjoining the defendants,
clinton Il. w OTueH q Company, d corpora
ton, J. A. Bright, T. F. Bacon, E. Little,
c. j. Schmelz and Lucius Little, and each
and all Of them, their and each and all of
their agents, employees, workmen, serv-
ants, attorneys and counSelors, from max
ing, using or selling any liquid laxa tive
medicine, marked with the name Syrup
of Figs or Fig Syrup, or any colorado
imitation of the same; from making, using
or selling any laxative medicine put up in
boxes, wrappers or cartons, having on the
same the name Syrup of Figs or Fig
Syrup, or any colorado imitation of the
same; from making, using or selling any
liquid laxative medicine put up in boxes,
wrappers or cartons, so as to be like the
cartons, wrappers or boxes used by COM
plainant in connection with the liquid lax
ative medicine made by it, or so as to be
a colorado imitation of the cartons marked
Exhibit A, ard filed in this case, being a
carton, box or wrapper used by complain
ant for it's liquid laxative medicine, marked
and named Syrup of Figs or Fig Syrup
from making, using or selling any box,
wrapper or carton as wrapper or case for
a liquid laxative medicine, bearing upon it
the figure of a branch of a fig tree with
leaves and fruit, and surrounded by the
words in circle San Francisco Syrup of
Figs Company, San Francisco, Cal.,' or any
similar words or figures, or any colorado
imitation of such a symbol or mark, or
from making use of, in any way, in connec-
ton with a liquid laxative medicine the
name Syrup of Figs Co.. or from using
any name whereof the words Fig Syrup
Co.. or Syrup of Figs Co. form part as
a business name of a company, or con-
cern, or corporation engaged in the busi-
ness Of making and selling laxative med
icine."
This decision is of far-reaching i'm
portance to all manufacturers whose
products bear a recognized title, as well
as protection to the public whose con-
fidence naturally rests in large meas
ure upon the name of the goods it buys.

4he Life nf pench Trees

There is no reason for peach trees
dying out in ten years, "bearing them
selves out" some farmers will say.
What they mean is ''being starved out
A peach tree, barring accidents, should
be good for 25 years. 1t should, how
ever, have as good cultivation, liberal
feeding, and as much general atten-
ton as an annual crop. 1t should be
examined twice year for borers, and
when its limbs begin to die out and
look straggly-so that people ordinari-
ly will say it is played Quit should
be pruned back severely-cut way back
when new vigorous shoots with dark
green leaves will put forth, and the
second year after a good crop may be
looked for. There are many 30-year-old
peach trees in the country.-Journalo of
Agriculture.

Machine Road Mender.

In spite cf the constant advance in
mechanical contrivances there are GER
tain occupations which must still de-
pend upon handiwork. Such we as
sumo to be the business of picking up
with the pickaX the stones of a mae
adamized road before fresh metal could
be laid and rolled upon it. But a ma
chine called Kutty's patent macadam
road scarifier may now be seen at work
IN London, and possibly elsewhere,
tearing up the street roadway in the
most satisfactory manner. 1t is of the
nature of a plow, the plowshaTe being
represented by thick spikes OF chilled
iron, which, set at an angle, tear up
the roadway as the machine is dragged
behind steam Eoller.-Chambers

THE CELERY CROP.
II the Plants Are Thrifty and Vfger-
Gus They May Be Set Out as
Late as August.

In growing a good crop of celery
supply of thrifty, vigorous plants is es-
sential These may be grown in SEED
bed. In order to have thrifty, vigor-
Gus plants, the soil should be rich and
thoroughly prepared in good hills.
The plants must have plenty of room
to grow. and if they come up too quick
ly it will pay to thin out.
In many cases a good top dressing
of wood ashes after the seed is sown
will be beneficial. Make the rows in the
seed bed about a foot apart. The seed
need very little covering, and it will pay
to firm the soil well after sowing the
seed: but if there is sufficient moist
ure in the soil 10 induce a good ger
mination this is not necessary.
1t is quite an item to have short,
stocky plants, and if this is done the
plants must have plenty of room to
grow. Give cultivation to keep down
the weeds and the soil in a good tilth.
Some celery growers prefer to trans
plant twice, cutting back the tops
slightly at the first transplanting 1t
is claimed that by this plan more and
better roots may be secured.
After the plants have made sufficient
growth they may be transplanted where
they are to grow and mature.
In many cases celery may be grown
where an early crop has been grown.
The middle or latter part of July is a
good time to set out the plants, though
it may be done as late as August. As
the transplanting is usually done at a
dry time, it will nearly always be good
plan to water the plants well an hour
before taking them up. Use water
enough to soften the ground, so that
the plants will come up readily, and
without injury to the roots.
Work the soil deep and thoroughly,
and then mark out the rows four feet
apart, with the plants ten to twelve
inches apart in the rows. Water two or
three times until the plants start to
grow. Clean, thorough cultivation is
necessary in order to secure a thrifty,
vigorous grcwth.-St. Louis Republic.

A COSTLY ERROR.
The Merchant Thought the Assessor
Was u Representative of
Bradstreet's.

One of the lawyers says that a client of
his is the hero of this story, and that it
happened here within year or two. A
man from the assessors office went into
the store of Hebrew merchant in the
pursuit Of his duties. The two had a slight
acquaintance, so that the assistant asses
sor did not think it necessary to explain his
business. He was rather surprised when,
in answer to his questions, the storekeeper
proceeded to dilate on the value of his stock.
Ode finest in any store of de size in de city.
1t issn't wort cent less than $5,000."
Suppose l put it down at that, then,
said the assessors man.
"Do it. Do it" said the proprietor eyer
Won't maig no mistake"
So the assessors man did it. There was
lamentation in the store when the tax bill
showed the proprietor that he was taxed
on $4,000 personal, and he rushed over to
the assessors office with all possible speed
"Vat iss dis? Vat iss dis?" he asked
them, excitedy. 81 have no personal but de
stock in my store. I'm liar if it's wort
$500. Come down and look it ofer."
They told him that the records showed
that he had given the figure to the as
sistant assessor.

shouted. "Vas dat your man? | thought

nones Have Numerous Uses

There are farmers who attach little
or no Importance to the bones that
are thrown away and made no use of.
This is a great mistake. They can be
utilized in many ways. They are an
excellent thing to make poultry lay, if
fresh and crushed fine with bone mill.
You can get mill for five dollars and
ifyou cannot conveniently purchase one
at present, just crush them with a
sledge or an ak. If you get mill you
can make bone meal, which is an excel
lent thing to feed to young chicks. They
can be placed around the roots of
grape vines and fruit trees, to make
them yield better fruit. They also
make an excellent fertilizer.zPrairie

A PAINT MANS STORY.
He Had Line of Lies That Was Good
Enough to String Most
Anybody.

This drummer travels for a paint house
and as it was up to him he told the fol-
lowing:
Il am organizing a new stock company,
and l am going to pass up the travelling
business and go to clipping coupons for
living. | was in Mexico not long ago. |
think it was the trip before last, when ]
ran across the most remarkable thing in
the paint line that l have ever seen. was
riding through the most forlorn bit of
country that it has ever been my misfor-
tune to be cast into. l came to little
house. 1t was very peculiar affair, and I
noticed that although it was adorned with
coat of red paint, the paint seemed to
have been nailed on. Inside | found little
man working with mortar and pestle. /
asked hun about the house and most par
ticularly about the paint. He then told me
that he was an inventor; that ten years
before he had invented what he called as
bestos paint-a paint that would not burn.
He built house and laid on a thick coat
of his newly-found preparation Shortly
afterward the interior of the house caught
tre and burned up entirely, leaving the
paint standing. After he had cleared away
the debris, he spread a big canvas where
fortably inside the four walls of paint for
three years. He then accumulated enough
money to build up the house inside the
paint again. He did so and nailed the paint
on to secure the interior of the house from
falling down. L have lived in it as you
see it ever SINCE he said How would
you like to buy some slices of stock in my
invention?'
II Immediately bargained for New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, North Dakota and Michi-
gan and am now organizing my company.
Can | sell you some shares of stock or
even some territory"
While the remainder of the company were
looking for their weapons, the paint man

that are loaded on cars at the factory;
the raw material has first to be hauled
to the factory. But the greatest haul
ing is done in the farming districts and
there it is that good highways are most
needed. Ae A4fes
The subject has not been given the
attention and support it deserves. as
yet. for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in the
building of common roads since there
would be no income from the invest
ment such as there is in railways.
Municipal, county, state and the ma
tional government have not had the is
sue brought directly before them in its
full significance because it is necessary
TO first educate the people to the neces-
sites of the movement. This is what is
being done by the wheelmen at the
present time, and it must be said to
their credit that they have enlisted the
sympathy and support of all the prom
inent farmers organizations in the
movement. With the two classes work
ing together it is only a question of
political issue and then will come the
desired improvements.
The argument offered in favor of the
improved roads is, that they lessen the
cost of repairs, make it possible to haul
the largest amount of goods with the
smallest animal power, save time and
increase property valuations. No rail-
road company would expect to do busi-
ness if its tracks and roadbeds were in
such condition as to make it either inn
possible to use the tracks at long sea-
sons of the year, or in using them have
to lose great deal of time and have i'm
mense repairs to make; and yet that is
what the farmers and others using the
common roads are doing in compare
tive way every day in the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing, and then wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the great
est expense. 1t has been estimated that
in the states where the stone roads have
been built the cost of transporta-
ton has been decreased to 90 per cent
of the former figures, and that the
roads pay for themselves within few
years. 1t has been further shown that
the amount lost in the different ways
mentioned will more than pay for the
building and repairs of these roads on
the annual assessments made for them,
or that it costs no more each year to
have good roads than it does to have
bad ones. ssFFfF

THE ROAD MOVEMENT.
There Are Several Agencies mt Work
Which May Make 1t n Great
Political Issue.

Readers who see mentions of the
s'good roads movement" do not realize
that in this there may be one of the
great national issues of our politics at
some time in the future, possibly with
in a comparatively short time. This
movement was started by the wheel
men through their national organiza-
ton, the League of American Wheel
men. and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been spent by it in the aglta-
ton.
The principle of the movement, as
advocated by the wheelmen, is that the
common roads of the country are as i'm
portant as the railway systems, the
statement being made by them, and be-
ing easily understood, that there is not
an ounce of any commodity hauled over
the railroads that is not first transport
ed by wagons over country roads or
city streets. 1t does not matter if the
commodity is manufactured articles

She Was Careful.

''Now propose" began Mr.. Dinkey.
He was interrupted at this point by
his auditor, Miss Beacon, of Boston,
who spoke substantially as follows:
"Mr. Dinl<ey, accuracy of language
demands an explanation at this point.
Do you use the word propose as a
synonym of purpose or in its matri-
monial sense?"
Later developments showed that Mr.
Dinbey used the word in its matri.
monial sense.-Harper's Bazaar.

Thinning Fruit Orchards.

Whether or not it pays to thin the
fruit of an orchard, everyone agrees
that with few trees it is advantageous
to thin an overburdened crop down to
a reasonable number of choice fruits.
In an experiment reported by the de-
partment of agriculture, thinning was
found to increase the total yield and
to decrease rot. The thinning was
practiced with apples, peaches and
plums, early thinning giving the most
practical results. 1t was concluded
that it pays best to commence work of
this kind Immediately after the fruit
has set.
