When there is disease of the delicate
female organism, it is only question of
time until the general health becomes
undermined. Nervousness, sleeplessness,
loss of appetite and vsinking spells"
produce suffering almost indescribable.
There can be no restoration of the gen
eral health until the local health of the
womanly organism is re-established.

Millions of Eggs.

New York city, according to the sta
tistical expert of the New York Herald,
consumes 2,2S3 eggs every minute of
the day, which means 100,000,000 dozen
year. The city may feel independent
of the hen SO far as the Matching proc
ess is concerned but is entirely de-
pendent for its supply of eggs on the
moody creature who regulates her out
put according as the weather hap
pens to suit her whims. These hens
get food and lodging for their part Of
the work. and their owners receive
$20000,000 a year for the $40 eggs that
they supply annually to each inhab-
liant of the city.

branches, the fruit buds setting in elus-
tiers instead of singly or in pairs, as
with the European plum.
These plums are nearly allied to our
native plums, and we may the more
reasonably expect them to do well on
that account on the theory that similar
ity of environment has produced SINH
larity of attributes.
The propensity to oyerbear must be
continually guarded against, as the
quality of the plums on an overladen
tree is very inferior, and, having nei-
Their quality nor size, they will be diff
ficult to dispose of and of very little
value. If two-thirds of the bearing
wood is trimmed off the tree and the
plums which set on the remainder are
thinned to about four inches apart, we
shall have on Il mature tree from one
to two bushels of plums from 2 to 2115
inches in diameter and as attractive as
they are large.
The rot is the most troublesome enc
my of the Japan plum unless it be its
tendency to oyerDear. Eternal vigil
lance is the price of plums, picking off
and burning the rot whenever it APP
pears.
The yellows of the peach is also able
to thrive ON the Japan plum and should
be guarded against.
The black knot and curculio are not
serious enemies of the Japan plum, the
knot only occasionally attacking the
tree and the eggs of the curculio sell
dom Matching.
For market and amateur planting the
Abundance, Burbank, Chabot, Wick
son, Red June and Satsuma seem best
suited. Lutts, Hale and Normands
might also find place in large collec-
tons.
Abundance is perhaps the best known
and most widely planted of the Japa-
nese plums.

The Vineland Bush resembles the

is a great advantage in cultivation,

The plants are as easy to care for as

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.

WATER GARDENING.
Don't Plant Too Early and Avoid I'll
Use of Eresh Manure.

Don't Plant Too Early and Avoid the
Use of Fresh Manure.
The latter part of May and begin
ming of June, according to locality, is
the time for planting out the tender
nymph9as. These should be started in
April, allowing from six to eight weeks
growth in temperature of from 70 to
rs degrees, always giving the plants
the full benefit of the sunlight and am
pie ventilation. 1t will be found of
great advantage to procure tubers of
such nymph9as and grow them on the
place in preference to buying plants
at the time for planting. Small tubers
will produce Towering plants in few
weeks and can be safely sent by mail,
whereas plants would have to be ship
ped by express, and there would be
more or less of check to the plants
besides the expressage.
Every season there are some COM
plants of nelumbiums not growing.
The weather should be settled warm
and the conditions favorable for growth
at once; therefore don't plant very
early.
There are other dangers besides
planting too early. The tubers are
sometimes difficult to keep in place,
especially if the water is deep. No
better method can be adopted than to
start the tubers in pots or seed pans,
thus securing ball of soil and roots.
Tubers started thus will make good
plants in few weeks, and when the
season is late for planting so much
additional time may be gained, besides
far better and more satisfactory re-
suits.
Another cause of failure is planting
the tubers in tubs, using a quantity of
fresh manure with the soil. Before the
tubers can make a fair start fermenta-
ton takes place. Under such condi-
lions the new growth is almost sure to
decay, and the result is failure. Thus
writes such good authority as w.

A Notion For the Amateur Gardener


The amateur gardener can often
adopt modes of culture, favorable to
excellence. that would be hardly prof
liable for the market gardener. In
strawberry culture, according to Nee
hams Monthly. it is said that much
finer and more toothsome berries can
be obtained by setting the plants out
on ridges than when grown on the lev
ell ground. The earth is thrown up
into a wedgelike form a foot or so in
depth and then fiattened on the apex
by the back of a spade SO as to be only
about nine inches deep. The plants
are set out about a foot apart along
this narrow table on the top Of this
ridge. The result is said 10 be sur
prise to those who are familiar only
with the ordinary fat culture.

According to Siebel a new laid egg
placed in vessel of brine made in the
proportion of two ounces of salt to one

bottom. An egg one day old will sink

tom. while one three days old will

more than three days old. the egg will
