SET MORE APPLE ORCHA IDS.

For a number of years past apple
orchards have not received from the
average farmer as much sattention as
they deserve. Most of the old or
chards which once had an abundance
of fruit, and with only little atten-
ton, have outlived their usefulness
and comparatively few new orchards
have been set out to take their places.
An exchange says:
sit has been asserted that the gen
eral farmer can no longer grow APP
piles profitably and that he had better
leave them for the professional hor
ticulturist to do. 1t is true that they
cannot be grown with as little labor
as they once were before insects and
fungous diseases began to trouble us
as they do now About all the care
that the Orchards of our father re-
ceived was a little pruning every
year, and some of them failed even TO
get that as often as they needed it.
But even though it does take more
labor now than formerly, the extra
labor necessary for growing good,
marketable apples can be made to
pay. On the average farm few acres
of orchard can be taken care OF with
out interfering very much with the
other farm work. Of course, the
trees must be sprayed, for without
this it is next TO impossible to grow
good fruit. But spraying outfits are
not very expensive, and every far
mer of ordinary intelligence can learn
how to do this work and how to do it
we'll. If in addition to this the trees
are kept properly pruned, are prop
erly fed and she ground cultivated as
it should be, a crop can be expected
at least eve ry second year, and gen
orally oftener than that.

care you a dollar man, or ten
dollar one?" That question is asked
of every prominent democrat who
has shown his face in Washington
since the ridicu Gus controversy be-
tween Bryan and Belmont, over the
$40 Jefferson dinner in New York, and
Bryan's acceptance to attend the 81
Jefferson dinner in the same town,
has been before the public, by every
one who is on terms sufficiently ia
miliar to justify little "kidding."
Democrats are, as a rule, not willing
to talk for publication about the silly
and ridiculous affair, but Mr.. Bryan
would be crestfalen if he could hear
the disguised manner in which many
Of them talk about it among friends.
Republicans are simply amused.
They did not regard the chances of
the democrats to win next year, with
Bryan or anybody else, "a sufficient

controversy will certainly Go, cause

that was formerly pre- SsaSSA
scribed by DIR. Mack, N4zs'efa2a
prominent physician living in Vermont. 1t
was used extensively there by this doctor in
his practice and accomplished a wonderful
amount of good, and now for over forty years
it has been used by the people living IN that
state to remarkable advantage.
Prof. Morse of Westfeld, n. j., who has
devoted his life to the study of new remedies.
and has probably investigated as many different
preparations as any modern therapeutlst, eX-
cepting perhaps Sir John Lawes, writes among
many other complimentary phrases concern
ing Smiths Green Mountain Renovator, the
following:
81 find at the outset that this is a vegetable
remedy, and that it did originate with regular
practitioner. In fact, physicians prescribe it,
and no thinks of calling it quack
medicine. 1t puts the blood back into order
when it has become depraved, l could not
choose better term than TO say 1T renovates
the blood. Having done that, every function
is normally performed, and health insues as
matter of physiological course. 1t gives tone
and elasticity to the organs, which by reason OF
the blood being impure and out OF order are
debilitated and languishng. Doing this, 1t
must needs be remedy for functional disorders
diseases of the liver, kidneys, stomach, skin,
bladder and other organs. In its mission OF
adding vigor and strength to the system, it re-
stores health and strength to the nerve struc-
lures. You could call it, if you please, food
for nerve starvation. Though do not know
any one connected with the st. Adams Remedy
Company they arc deserving of kind thoughts
and words for pushing this medicine, which is
mild, pleasant and harmless in its action while
being permanent and efficient without subject
ing the system to any violent reaction
The above interesting comments on this pre-
paratCn, which we are so fortunate as to
have preserved to us to-day, will be of interest
to ali suffering from disordered blood, broken
down nerves and the many kindred ills that
come from such affections.
We would advise everyone seeing the need OF

most potent and harmless of known prepare
tons. The good that will be accomplished

OUR FARMERS.
SPRING MANURING.

One of the old time practices in
farming is the fall application of ma
nures, being confined almost wholly
to winter wheat. This is still good
plan as far as it goes, though not
economical, but spring applications
of coarse manures are coming rapidly
into favor, especially for clean Guilt
walton crops. Coarse manure with
clean cultivation, frequent tillage,
rapidly becomes available as plant
food. 1t no longer pays to use ma
nures merely to enrich the soil, but
it does pay to use them to grow i'm
mediate crops. Manure which stays
in the soil two or three years before
becoming fully available as plant food
is worth much less than the same
amount in a quickly available form.
Spring manuring has its disadvan-
tages, Notwithstanding. In all farm
ward manures the ammonia is first to
become available, and unless potash
and phosphates have been used pre-
viously there is much risk that the
ready supply of ammonia will encour-
age a rank growth of leaf at the ex-
pense of the stalk and grain. Another
point is, that with many crops rank
growth of foliage at the expense OF
other parts of the plant is not practl-
cable; in this case the free ammonia
is simply lost-it goes to waste. Far
mers should constantly bear in mind
that all manures, or fertilizers, which
are the same thing, are merely just so
much ammonia, potash and phos-
pilates; not any one, nor any two, but
all three taken together.
With clean cultivation crops such
as corn, potatoes, etc., where farm
yard manure is used, potash and phos-
pilates should always be applied at
the same time, or even earlier in the
spring. They will not waste except
on very rolling ground, where any
form of manure would wash off.
From 100 to 200 pounds of muriate of
potash and from 200 to 400 pounds of
acid phosphate should be used per
acre, broadcasted or used in the drill
as may suit individual preference.
The object is to have the mineral fer
tilizer there ready for the ammonia
as fast as the latter becomes availa-
BILE as plant food.

GETTING WHAT YOU PAY FOR

About twelve years ago New Hamp-
shire passed law that when fire
insurance company issued a policy
for certain amount, it should be
held responsible for the actual pay
ment of the sum named in all cases of
total loss. Very bitter things were
said against the law, and very dire
predictions made as to it's effect. It's
early repeal was confidently predict
ed. On the face of it there does not
appear to be anything unsound in the
suggestion that if man has paid an
amount necessary to insure for
specified sum, he should be able to
recover that amount in case of loss.
Other business is conducted on the
principle that each party may be
trusted to look out for his own in
terests, and the history of insurance
companies certainly does not warrant
the presumption that they do not
know or cannot ascertain the value
of the buildings they propose to in
sure. Massachusetts is trying to en-
dCU a law SlIulIdr 10 UudO VI NOW
Hampshire. 1t is called the ''valued-
policy law" The report of the in
surance commissioner of New Hamp-
shire is interesting in this connection.
That report shows thatin the twelve
years preceding the passage Of the
law the aggregate risks amounted to
$500, 713, 139; for these risks there was
paid in premiums $6,486, 696.44. The
twelve years since it's passage have
seen the risks increase to 1887, 513,
41636, and the premiums to 81 ILL.,
1902. The ratio of loss is quite as
low as before. The results have been
just opposite what was predicted.
The theory and practice of the valued
policy law appear to have been dis
tinctly in its favor thus far.-E1-

4 PATHETIC RECORD.

The following instance showing how
criminals are made comes from a cler-
gyman who conducts a mission in
England. The prisoners story, given
i'll his own words, suggests that there
is problem as deep as the juvenile
offenders problem to be worked out.
"Ihave been locked up three times, "
said the aged man. LAS long as was
young enough to work 1 was never in
trouble, but everybody prefers young
er men. I was hungry-did you ever
know what it was to be downright
hungry? Well, begged at door. I
knew it was wrong, but begged, and
I was locked up for it.
s'When I came out, will never do
that again, I said, and SO I got some
leather and cut some shoe laces and
sold them on the street. I was then
locked up for hawking without a Ii
cense. won't do that again, I said,
then l walked and walked and walked,
and could get no work and no food
I was dead beat, and I lay down by a
hedge-then got locked up for Sleep

struction of all interested in that di-

gard the advice impaired, and con-
tinue to care for their manure with
out regard to the value of liquids or
solids. There is wide difference 6be-
tween the fertilizing value of the solid
and liquid portions of manure, the eff
fectiveness of the solids being only 10
per cent that of nitrate of soda, while
that of the liquids is over 80 per cent.
This is an important fact to consider,
and it may be added that the nitrogen
of the solid portion becomes available
only slowly in the soil Or heap, while
that of the liquids is in a soluble
form, rapidly converted into ammo

the air. Experiments indicate that
the effectiveness of the nitrogen Of
