ORCHARD EQUIPMENT.
A Light Three Legged Ladder and
other little GouSeniences.

Gathering and marketing the crop

d. II picking time" asks American
Ga. .cning in preface to the following
suggestions:
There are many little cQnveniences
that should be a part of the orchard
eaupment-good ladders, picking bas
kets. carrying straps etc, are all i'm
portant items.
In the peach orchards here light lad
ders with three legs are used instead
of the ordinary stepladders with four
legs. as they stand steadier on uneven
or soft ground Several sizes are used,
according to the age of the trees.
Our picking baskets are round, light
affairs, with flaring tops, holding about
a peck. a ring on each side of the
basket permits of the carrying strap
being quickly fastened or unfastened
by clip hooks at each end. The strap
goes over the pieker's shoulders and
is adjusted so that the basket hangs at
the waist. This arrangement leaves
the hands and arms free to work with,
and a picker thus equipped will do far
more work in n day than II he had to
balance a basket on the top step or
carry it in his hand. Not only will he
accomplish more, but there will be less
danger from tipped over baskets ana
the bruises and loss thus occasioned.
4 stone boat or low wagon should
follow the pickers, with a supply of
empty picking baskets. Then the pick
err has simply to step down from his
ladder and exchange his full basket
for an empty one-unhook one and
"hook on to the other, thus saving
steps, time and bruises.
Choice fruit should be handled as
little as possible and pouring from one
basket to another or into the wagon Is
poor economy. Haul to the packing
shed and pack directly from the pick
ing baskets into the desired shipping
package, and then there Is little chance
of injury through handling.

The story of love is as old as the world,
and as all embracing as the universe. 1t
furnishes the sentiment for all romances-
all novels-all plays.
The novelist considers it wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there is
another aspect even more important-the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical as
sociation-to marriage-to the rearing of
children. And so health must be consid

But no woman need be sick unless af
hicted with cancer. There is a sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not

DEFENDER TAKING SHAPE.
Work of Construction on the Ameri-
can Champion Progressing.

Bristol. April Much progress has
been made at the Herreshoff works In all
departments on the new Morgan Iselin
syndicate's cup defender.
When the worlzmen quit the yard Satur-
day evening practically all the underwater
body had been covered with Tobin bronze
plating and the work OF completing the
riveting was still in progress. 1t is
rather difficult task and even with the aid
of the hydraulic machine in use the pro-
gress made Is necessarily slow. though
much faster than the work done on the old
Defender four years ago.
The fine keel is practically covered TO
the point where it turns out toward the
body OF the yacht The work of cutting
and fitting the plates is perhaps an even
more difficult task for the Workmen in
the machine shop than for those In the
north construction shop where the new
flyer is being completed. Every plate must
be an exact fit before it leaves the hands
Of the machnists and few are turned back
into the machine shop on Burnside Street,
or Designer Herreshoif knows the reason

Steel butt straps are being fastened TO
the bronze plates where the edges meet
in order to give them strength, and long
steel bilge siringers increase the resist
ing power OF the hull The deck beams are
supported by steel frames, and tie plates
placed diagonally across each other under
the beams form webs which add stiffness
to the deck, as in the old Defender.
The steel gan has not yet been completed,
owing to some unforeseen delay, but will
undoubtedly be finished next week. when

During the week work was begun on the
waterways, which are of steel fastened by
steel bolts.
All in all work on the new yacht is per-
baps a month ahead of the work done at
this time four years ago on the old cup
champion, Defender. Metal workers will
be put aboard the old flyer soon to finish

Wharf. Gossip is heard here 10 the effect
that not only Will II. b. Duryea be on the

Harry Payne Whitney will help look af-
ter the interests OF the Defender. while
Messrs Morgan, Iseiin, and Leeds will be
on the new yacht.
The first of the preliminary spins is ex-
pected TO take place before June l. but
whether the old yacht will be ready for

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by stuart's Dyspepsia
T-.bIets.
A New Discovery. But Not Pntent
Medicine.

MedtCtue.
DIR. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count OF what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He gays: The patient was man who
had suffered, TO my knowledge, for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed
to sour and create gases in the stomach:
he had pains like rheumatism in the back,
shoulder blades. and limbs. fullness and
distress after eating, poor appetite and loss
Of flesh: the heart became affected, causing
palpitation and slesplessress AT night.
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies but to no purpose. AS an
experiment l finally bought fifty-cent
package of Stuarf's Dyspepsia Tablets at a
drug store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given and after he
had used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings no bloating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous, and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds in weight
of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arr
advertised and sold in drug stores. yet l
consider them a most valuable addition to
any physicians line OF remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
children or invalids or in any condition of
the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness, constipation, and all derange-
ments of the stomach, however slight or
severe"
