In August and the cassia in Septem-
Der. The nimble fingers of the wo-
men must move rapidly to pluck the
millions of leaves that go to make up
the 200 900 kilograms of rose leaves
alone that are used each season. Be-
sides there are a million Kilograms or
jessamine to be plucked, and violets
and orange blossoms to the extent OF
two million Kilograms a year. To give
an idea OF the number of plants that
are raised for this huge result, 1t is
calculated that each stalk OF jessa-
mine yields two Kilograms of blossoms
a season. So there must be at least
FIVE hundred thousand stalks to yield
the million Kilograms required.
But the gathering of the blossoms
is only the beginning of the work, for
then the flowers must be picked apart
and all the spoiled leaves thrown
aside. Then the making OF the per-
fume begins. The leaves are spread
one by one upon layers of pure lard

SETTING WAGON TIRES.
How TO DO IL Effectively and In Such
Way That They VIII Wear
for Some Time.

Some farmers can set their own tires
on wagon wheels, which is a great con-
venience when they are far from a
blacksmith; but they cannot always
succeed In setting them so they will
remain tight for any length Of time.
Lave the wheels perfectly dry. as the
oil which is to be applied will not soak
into wet wood. Procure an oil heater
such as is used for this purpose, a long
narrow iron vessel in which linseed oil
is placed and heated. Bring il to the
boiling point, keeping it there, for if it
gets much hotter il will burn the felloe
so il will not be durable. Put stick
through the wheel so that it can be
kept turning in the hot oil for an hour;
by that time il will be well saturated
and the tire can be put in place and
will remain tight for years unless the
wheel itself wears out. The pores OF
the wood being filed with oil makes the
wood impervicus to water, and it is
then much more durable. 1t cannot
shrink in a dry season or swell in a
wet One.-Farm and Home.

JOHN.
The Record of n Life Faithful to
Duty and Worthy to BE
Emulnted.

John was a sturdy, active young
man, to whom a small farm had been
left by his father. He worked it with
intelligence; was up early in the morn
Ing and went to rest late in the even
ing. The soil was forced to give up its
best to him.
The neighbors. too, found him
good citizen, ready to take part in
work helpful to the community. His
mother said that none of her children
had been so obedient or tender to her.
lie made her old age beautiful and
happy 10y his good humor and loving
care. As a member Of the church
John was fully responsive to the ordi-
nary demands of Christian service.
But John himself knew that other
men no older than he worked huge
farms AT enormous profits. His COM
paratively small patches of barley and
oa's and potatoes and grass land were
sometimes contemplate in his eyes.
Other young men, who went to school
with him, were leaders in the COM
munity going out of it into the state
legislature or into large cities. Other
Young men had wives and children.
Some Of the most respected of Them
led in church activities and did not
wait to be prompted, as he seemed
forced to do.
Sometimes he wondered with
large degree of longing. whether he
might 60 ont and grapple with some
great work in the world. But he did
not for this loose his hold of the little
work he had to do on the farm and in
town and church; instead he rose ear
lier the next morning, whistling cheer
fully. and perhaps drove his plow later
the next evening
Johns was, in seeming, a narrow,
humdrum life.
But one day a strange and wonder
ful thing came into it, which no man
can understand. He was suddenly
called to leave the plow in the furrow
and come away. Because he had been
so faithful to his poor little fields and
his few homely duties. and so loyal to
his old mother and his neighbors,
greater estate was given to him, and
high rank in an unseen kingdom, to
which he belonged.
lie heard the summons while he was
in the field and went on the instant.
When his neighbors found him. lying
on the grass, and saw the happy, even
triumphant. expression of his face,
they knew that the King had called
him to come up higher. and that the
kindly messenger sent to summon him
was Death.-Youth's Companion.

FARMERS WAKING UP.
In All Parts of the Country They Are
beginning to TnLe Interest in
Road Improvement.

The progress in road building is
commendable, and we are gratified to
learn that our farmers are taking such
an interest in road building science.
The steel track is being given a thor
ough test and the reports are quite
favorable on Il. What seemed a mere
dream two years ago is now brought
within the realm of possibility. The
idea that it would pay to lay steel
rails for the use of ordinary wagons
seemed a wild one, but now promises
to be Of great value, at least in our
more thickly populated communities.
In the cities the wagons use the car
tracks extensively and horsefiesh is
saved thereby. On the country roads
the steel rails that are used for ordi-
nary traffic are wider than are the car
tracks in the cities, and their sides are
lower, making it easy TO cross them
with a wagon. Their use prevents rut-
ting Of the road in good or bad wealth
er and makes il possible to have a road
so narrow that the cost OF cOnstruc-
ton and keeping in repair is greatly
reduced. The use Of oil between the
tracks is being experimental with. At
the Iowa experimental station crude oil
is being used on some of the college
roads, and has thus far proved to be
effective in keeping moisture out of
the soil that forms the roadbed. OF
course the action of frost will have to
be experienced and the action Of SHOWS
and ice. But, whatever happens in
this particular instance, there is no
doubt that the farming communities
are about TO be brought nearer to-
gether by better roads.-Farmers' Re-
view

OId-Fashloned Soda Biscuit.

An old California recipe for soda bis
cult, dating from the days when bak-
ing powder was unknown. is still used
in many kitchens of the old residenters.
and with most admirable results. Given
experience and practice, the tiny.
spongy biscuit thus evolved are as
light as the proverbial feather. \ me-
dunn dough is mixed at night of sour
milk, flour and a pinch of salt. In the
morning this is rolled out on the mold
ing board, with just a bit of flour to
keep it from sticking. and over the top
is sprinkled the tiniest bit of soda,
bearing in mind that the sourer the
milk the less soda used. Roll lightly
and fold over. Repeat three times. cut
into biscuit about the size of a silver
dollar, and bake in a slower oven than
is required for baking powder biscuit.

For a town to exist 80 years and

For about two years and a half the

With this sum in hand, the youthful
