ing them on three arrangements like
A, made of heavy pieces of tin about
two inches broad, bent in the form il
Illustrated, and riveted in box inside,
one at each end and one in middle.
The end supporters of sleeves are bent
as in the cut, to extend down and serve
as feet for the drier. The middle
supporter need not reach below box.
If desired, the supporting devices
may be made like B, using three on
each side. The sieves (C), are easily
made by lacking wire netting, of not
too close mesh, on a tiE frame, or
tapping it over frame of heavy wire.
They slide in and out on the supports
just described, and may change places
as the drying progresses. When drier
is made in the way described, without
bottom, the sleeves receive the direct
heat which rises from the stove. If
thought best, the drier may have bot
tom, and the drying be carried on by
means of the hot air inside of box.
It will be best to have removable tin
bottom, which slides in on the holders
the same as the sleeves, and fits closely
70 sides of box. Then the drier may be
used with or without bottom, as seems
best to suit the particular purpose

Nevv Field for Research.

The world of horticulture is mys-
terious one, and in il are many secrets
vet to be found out. We have consid.
cred that the question Of maternity
belongs to living and breathing ami
mails. But we are now awaking to the
fact that we must consider maternity
in the vegetable world. AS scientists
investigate, the wonder grows. Not
only are there self-sterile varieties
among grapes, plums and pears. but
among the apples self-sterility exists
to q great extent. More than that,
varieties have been discovered that
have no affinity toward each other and
if planted together will produce no
fruit. This presents new field for
investigation and research.

The odd shillings.

There is very little difference be-
tween pound and guinea; only a
shilling, and yet a keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be con-
sidered. After Thackeray's series of

been delivered in London, Willert
Beale says that he called upon the
novelist, in Onslow square, with a
check for e25O. whats this, w. B? p

are aware that the lectures SO far have
involved very heavy losses" said
Beale, apologetically. That's not my

tect yourself from loss. Guineas, w.

Il Select piece Of ground with good
surface drainage, facing east or
south. The soil should contain .
good amount of humus. A good
clover sod which had crop Of POI
tatoes taken from it the year before
planting berries, would be my ideal.
During winter or in early spring give
it liberal dressing Of stable manure
about to IL tons per acre. Pillow
under in early spring but be careful
not to pillow when the ground is too
wet. I prefer blowing or inches
deep.
Pulverize ground thoroughly; mark
out with single shovel pillow about s
inches deep; rows 31s feet apart.
Plant every other row to potatoes,
then plant your berries in the re-
naming rows. Now we want good
thrifty, well-rooted plants. When we
have to purchase them or have to
transport q considerable distance we
want them in dormant state, but
when plants can be got on an adjoin-
ing plantation prefer to have plants
well started, say tops inches high.
taking them up with all the soil that
will adhere to roots, only taking
about or dozen at time and
planting them 3 feet in row, running
the shovel plow through the row just
before planting so the soil is fresh
and moist. AS soon as they are set
start the cultivation to form an earth
mulch and arrest the evaporation
from the surface of moisture brought
up by capillary attraction; also to
kill all weeds. Keep cultiyating all
summer and keep clear from weeds.
The potato crop will pay for the
work and the use of the land. Do
not prune the first season. In the
following spring prune the laterals
back to 10 or IL inches. After fruit
ing remove all old canes, and all new
canes except or of the strongest,
in August or September.
I take enc horse to breaking
pillow and pillow the soil up to the row
Of plants, forming quite ridge. The
reason / do this is, it braces up the
plants and keeps them from being
water from the plants and keeps
them from heaving out the following
spring. prune all laterals back to
8 or 10 inches. The reason of so close
pruning is it preserves the vitality
of plants. Also it makes them set
less fruit, but it will be of finer and
better quality and just as many
quarts. I cut the top bud out of all
canes when 211s feet high SO that they
will form laterals. After the second
year cultivate with double shovel
pillow and fve-tooth cultivator. Ny
first plantation has fruited four
crops and this spring has q fine set
of canes for fifth crop and from aP-
pearances will produce paying crops
for three years or more in the future.
I attribute this success to close prun-
ing.-George Wyler. in Ohio Farmer.

Jude.muent.

Fruitfulness is killed by our sitting
in judgment upon others. Many men
would be really useful and helpful II
they could only stop their criticism Of
their fellows. It IL 30 easy to look
over the fence into our neighbor's
yard, and blame! It is so natural to
see how others ill-treat us and fail to
appreciate us! Good men do not talk
mi CHI about their neighbours faults.
To sit On the. judgment-seat is to
neglect ones own garden. How pit
iful, when God would have us strong,
heroic battlers with wrong and suf-
fering in the world, for us to go
about whining, or to sit moping, say
ing that nobody cares for us, and that
men are unjust and selfish! self-judg-
'ment is the knife with which to prune,
and SO 30 make life . blessing.-De.

CHAIN TRACE IN OPERATION.

they had a weeks hard work on hand.
A Yankee neighbor happened to visit
the farm, and after watching the men
for awhile told one of them to go to
the barn and harness mule and bring
him with ten-foot chain. Then he
set the men to digging around the
vines and cutting the main roots. When
the mule and chain came he made q
half-hitch with the chain around a
vine near the ground, and attached it
to the mules whifaetree. Then he took
a piece of 2x4 about four feet long,
placed one end on the ground and the
other under the chain, leaning at an
angle Of As degrees toward the vine.
The mule was started and the vine
lifted out of the ground. The chain
was unfastened and hitched to the
next, and so on. The whole job was
done with the mule, and was an easy
and speedy one. The same plan will
work with all grubbing where the roots
are not too large. Fence posts can also
be pulled up in the same way.-Orange

A she plucked from its fragrant bower
A rose Of yesterday.
Near her stood her royal lover,

And the sunset kissed the silver

Then he turned and smiled upon her.
'Mong her fragrant roses tall.
They were fair, but Margherita
Was the fairest of them all.
For the eyes of love are partial.
And Loves heart Is ever young
As the springtime of its birthday,
And tho deep fount whence it sprung.
He beheld her as he knew her
On the day when they were wed,
As she pressed the dropping petals
OF the dying rose. and said:
Il must wear white gowns no longer,
Autumn should not pose as Spring."

This grave question:" said the king.

Fishtins the Pc. weevil.

The pea weevil has been pest for
years, and it is difficult to secure seed
perfectly free from the pests. An ex-
cellent plan is to pour the seed into q
vessel containing brine. The infested
peas, being lighter than the others,
will float, when they may be Skinned
off and consigned to the flames or fed
to poultry. The sound seed should
then be rinsed with clear water to re-
move the salt. spreading on mats or

UNIQUE FRENCH IDEA.
How . European Florist Uses Ess
Shells to Excellent Advantage
I'm Horticulture.

"A French florist, who is also an ex-
tensive breeder of poultry for eggs,
says that he uses the shells to good
advantage in horticulture. He
punches at the bottom of each half
shell with a sharp penknife little
hole 1-16 inch for drainage, fills the
shell with good rich earth, suitable
to the vegetation it is intended to
contain, puts in one or two seeds,
stands the shells up in fiat box of
earth, keeps them warm and moist,
and then when he thinks he can trust
the weather outdoors and the seeds
have sprouted sufficiently, he breaks
the shell and puts the little ball of
earth into its proper place.
He says, as not a root has been
disturbed, it is far preferable to the
insignificant tom" pots he formerly
used, and with favorable time for
transplanting there are no wilted
leaves to retard the growing Of the
plants. He is great grower of
muskmelons, and his success, he says,
is great.
He applies the shells to the use of
delicate seeds, to cuttings of temper
ate plants, such as verbenas, fuchsias,
geraniums and pelargoniums, and
even to pick out small seedlings
originally sowed in pans or such like,
as they retain that way, when need
ed to be potted, solid mass, we'll

wanted 20 marry her, and that he
wanted to marry her now; and that,
sble-bodied man that he was, he had
never asked her. He devined, with IN
instinct scnsitively keen, In what man
ner the village discussed his condi-
ton, gossfped about it, sniclered over
it. It was known as broadly as that
Hi Jennings wife wanted divorce,
and that Dan Swain had had delirium
eremens. He knew that it was to be
laid, in large measure, at the door of
his exceeding great, native bashful-
ness, which had more than once, even
in distinctly practical affairs, kept him
back and defeated him where men Of
meaner parts had succeeded. But
there was something else something
Of which the callous world would not
have dreamed; NOR could have fathomed,
something that Lemuel himself but
dimly comprehended, and could never
have put into words. His tenderness
for Emeline Bestor had been the one
great emotion Of his frustrated life;
loving her, he had, with a fine SIM
plicity and fidelity, looked upon her
as he looked upon no other woman;
he had set her ON plane far above
himself; his love might follow her
there, but some subtitle power held it
back from the nearness of bold and
decisive approach, because in that lay
the semblance of desecration. In Eme-
line Bestor the village in general saw
pleasant old maid-of whom people
said, as an unequivocal compliment,
that nobody would ever take her for
an old maid-whose recipe for raised
cake was borrowed widely, and who
could be counted upon to wash more
than her rightful share of dishes after
church sociables. Who can say what
Lemuel Jilson saw in her? Who shall
smile because he saw it?
