GOOD SELLING APPLES.
They Must Be Of Good Size, of Fair
Appearance and of the Very
Best Quality.

Under average conditions, when
grown especially for market, winter APP
Piles pay the best profit. But, as with
all other farm products, if the best
prices are realized they must be what
the market demands. With fruits of
all kinds it is useless to plant trees
unless they are vigorous, hardy and
productive. The fruit must keep well
as well as sell well to consumers. The
fruit must be of good size, of fair
appearance and of good quality. Good
sized, smooth, nice red apples sell bet
ter than any other kind. Size and
color are the two most important items.
Good keeping qualities and good quail
ty of fruit come second. A nice red
apple of good size even of poor quality
sells better than apples of better
quality but not nice looking.
In selecting varieties for CONNER
cial orchard this fact should always be
kept in mind, as the growing of an or
chard to maturity requires too long a
time and costs too much to make mis-
takes. So with many other products, it
costs no more to grow something the
market will pay the most for than it
does to grow a lower grade.-N. j.

some years ago that by bringing a

Of each to be cut away, both might be

regarded as fanciful waste of time,
and that the success could never be
repeated to be of practical impor-
lance. That is yet our opinion, not
withstanding the United States expert
ment station has been repeating the
experiment, and has issued bulletin
on the subject. A crop of potatoes be-

SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
1t Consists in the Acceptance of the
Talent aud the Tasks God
Has Appointed.

Happiness comes through quiet &C.
ceptance of the talent, temperament
and task that Goo hath appointed. I'm
able to add one cubit to the stature, or
make one hair white or black, man is
also impotent to alter his birth-gifts,"
writes Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pas
tor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, on
THE Secrets of Happy Life" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Through
heredity our fathers chose the life work
for us, and try as we may we cannot
alter their choice, though we can break
our hearts. To-day one part of society
is making itself miserable through an
overestimate of great deeds and an ag-
onizing desire to do striking things.
Yet struggling and agonizing never did
anything worth while. The first sign
of great piece Of work is the ease and
swiftness with which it was done by
him appointed for the task. Another
part of society destroys happiness by
Understanding small deeds and du-
ties. Gods mountains are not made out
of huge chunks of granite, but out Of
minute flakes of mica. Size has nothing
to do with the valued work, and man
cannot be happy until he surrenders his
will and cheerfully accepts the one tai
cnt, or two, or ten, counting it honor
enough to do his appointed work more
perfectly than any other can possibly
do it. We do not need great and splen-
did things, but that common things
shall be lifted up and illuminated by a
quiet and beautiful spirit. One of the
secrets of happiness is found in the ha-
bitual emphasis of pleasant things and
the persistent casting aside of all ma.

if there is one thing that she dislikes more
than her comfortable plumpness, it is the
water. So, when one day, on a steamer in

more unhappy than most people are under
such circumstances, though it was related
afterward that she behaved with great COOL

forth. The husband of the woman with the

FIGHTING THE INSECTS.
GrasshOppers, Plant Mites and
Other Pests.

When plants are attacked by insects
1t is not always advisable or effective
to apply poisons directly to the plants
infested. This is particularly in cases
where trouble is experienced from cut.

In such cases the use of what is called
poisoned bait has proven very satisfac-
tory. In many fields mixture of bran.
molasses and arsenic is used to kill cut.
worms. Cutworms and wireworms can
also be baited by distributing poisoned
succulent vegetation such as freshly
cut clover, in small punches about in
tested fields. The bait should be dipped
in a strong arsenical solution and pro-
tected from drying by coverings of
boards or shades. Such bait must be
renewed from time to time as it be-
comes dry. The agricultural depart
ment recommends the following: For
locusts take one part, by weight, of
white arsenic costing about ten cents
a pounD, one part of sugar and six
parts of bran, to which add water to
make wet mash. Place tablespoon
full of this at the base of each tree or
vine, or apply line of bats just ahead
of the advancing army of insects, using
tablespoonful of the mash every six
or eight feet and following up with
another line just behind and alternat-
ing with the first.
Flower of sulphur is one of the best
remedies for plant mites, such as the
red spider. Applied at the rate of one
ounce to a gallon of water or mixed
with some other insectide such as kero-
sene emulsion, it is very effective
remedy. For the rust mite, sprinkling
the sulphur about under the tree is
sometimes sufficient in moist climates
to keep the fruit ght.-Journal of

A BREAST OF VEAL.
This Article Tells Exactly How 1t
should BE Prepared and How
To STUFF and Roast 1t.

In the spring, when lamb and veal
are in season, they are not only the
cheapest but the most wholesome Of
flesh food. Heavy beef and mutton,
which are in prime condition for food
in cold weather, when they can be hung
until they are tender, begin to pail
upon the appetite in spring. A lighter
and more easily digested meat is de-
manded. Veal comes first into season
to meet this demand, and young lamb a
little later. The acid vegetables, fruits
and sauces for meats which are so APP
petizing at this season are demanded
when these easily digested young
meats are served. Thus the convention
al diet of the spring months, and the
one which is the easiest to procure, may
be readily proved to be the most whole
some for the season.
The breast of veal is the cheapest por-
ton of the animal. The large proper
ton of the bones are in semihardened
state, when they can be softened by
cooking. The hard bones of the breast

bones, leaving those that are soft and
flexible. 1t should weigh about 2h
pounds when prepared. Dredge about
tablespoonful of salt and an even tea
spoonful of pepper. Stuff it with we'll
seasoned veal stuffing. Roll it up and
tie it into shape. Lay it in any flat-bot-
toned shallow saucepan, with cover
that has no solder about it.
The saucepan must be large enough
to hold gallon, and should be at least
nine inches across the top, in order to
be broad enough. Rub the roll of veal
with butter, dredge it with -four, slice
an onion over it and carrot. Put a

it, cover it and set it in hot oven to

NEPAL'S YOUNG KING.
Seasoned Warriors at His
Beck and Call.

Sumshere Jung is the name of the
young king of Nepal, one of the stran.
gest governments and countries in tho
world. 1t lies between Thibet and In.
dia, and contains the highest noun
tains of the loftiest of the earth's
ranges, the Himalayas. This little King
has 100000 of the best warriors in the
continent of Asia at his back, and it is
therefore easy for him to command the
respect of all the neighburing tribes
and governments. Even the English
remain on friendly terms with him and
hire some of his soldiers to help them
conquer the Hindus.
The people of Nepal are strange
mixture of races.
The ruling tribes are the Ghoorkas
whose prowess has given them the SUI
