One fact stands very much against
the improvement of farms in the hands
of many owners: this is the expecta-
ton of so many to leave the farm some
time, and have home in the village
or town. says contributor To Country
Gentleman. Much more interest would
be taken in the Improvement of farm
homes. IL every farmer fully expected
to spend his days on the farm. There
is much difference between the Inn
provement that looks only to CONNER
cial value. when selling is the only OBJ
jeet, and improvement made for the
comfort and happiness OF the owner
Many things considered as improve
ments In this direction by some have
no commercial value whatever in the
eyes of others. The improvement add
ed to the farm by the owner, who
must make his living from 1t, will
often differ very much from that OF
the owner who has an income from
other sources. When the farmer earns
the improvements as he goes along,
they are usually Noticeable for their
utility, and are fully appreciated. But
If built for show, or because money is
plentiful. they too often become a bur
den.

From Farmers Review. We bought

the cream guage had been properly Sd-

found it necessary. We put the milk

when at proper speed turned the milk
into the bowl. The milk soon came
from the milk spout, but where was

pounds OF butter: put 1t back in the
churn, salted it, and the next day
worked 1t, and sold it, and still there
were Is pounds of butter. Now does
1t pay to have the cream as rich as
that? How many pounds of butter

Becker of New Brunswick, n j.. be-
longs In the list of those who have
given their lives to save others. The
boy was playing in the street with his
younger brother and sister one day
last month. when a runaway team of
horses. attached to a heavy wagon.
came around the corner. Rudolph was
near the curling and might have saved
himself, but instead he ran out, drew
his little sister one side, then darted
right in front of the horses. in an effort
to save his brother Both wheels
passed over him. and he lived but
two hours, the only words he spoke
being the question, Did baby and
Nathan get hurt2" The other children
were both saved.

Board OF Horticulture, Vice-Consul
General Hanauer writes from Frank
fort. June 5. 1899, in part as follows:
The import duty OF 80 marks per 22o
pounds on canned fruits or preserves
is an obstacle to the sale OF United
States fruit prepared In this way. Dried
and evaporated fruit. however. can be
sold al profit. Up to this time only
dried plums have reached this market
from Oregon. Large plums, packed 10
boxes holding twenty-five pounds,
bring, an average price. I. o. b. Port
and, OF from TO cents in United
States currency The boxes should be
lined with good paper and be artistieal,
ly labeled. Apricots, pears and nee
tarines should be packed also in boxes
containing twenty pounds each.
Evaporated apple rings should come In
fifty pound boxes. Dried pears and APP
pies are packed In hogsheads. Care
should be taken that the fruit be dried
or steamed on wooden frames, not on
zinc. nor should they be bleached by
the aid OF metallic substances. as the
law prohibits these methods.

where Intelligence is applied to the
