Among the novel occupa tions of the

none are more diversified and un-
usual than those undertaken by the
fair ones of the southern states who
have been cast by fortune upon their
own resources. In one of the small
towns in Florida resides the only

death of her husband, instead of sell

her neighbors kindly suggested, the
widow carried on the business, with
the help of an assistant Gradually
she mastered every detail of the
trade and finally succeeded in build

that kind in the county, not only
maintaining the standard of work
done by her husband, but long ago
outstripping him in thrift and pros

RAIN AND SUNSHINE.
Scientists Claim They Are the De-
tersataing Factors in Flavoring
Berries and Melons,

There are years when fruit has not
the favor usually belonging to it. Es-
pecially is this the case with straw
berries and melons. On investigation
it is found that rainfall and sunshine
are the principal factors in determin-
ing favors. In very wet sons
fruits grow large, but contain little
sugar. In dry seasons much more
sugar is elaborated, and this sugar
enters very largely into the indein-
able something we call favor. Prof
Troop, Of Indiana, touching on the
same subject, says: can excessive
amount Of rain is undoubtedly one Of
the chief causes of trouble. It is a
well-known fact that during very
wet season Strawberries are of much
poorer quality, containing less
amout of sugar, than when the ripen-
ing season is compare lively dry. The
same is true with muskmeIons; the
crop may be larger during wet sea-
son, the fruit may be finer in ap-
pearance, but the sugar content
which gives the melon it's delicious
favor is comparatively low. Hence
it frequently happens that a variety
may give good satisfaction one sea-
son, and be very unsatisfactory the
next. Thorough drainage, either nat
arally or artifcially, will do much to-
ward preventing trouble from this
source. The use Of fertilizers, rich in
potash and phosphoric acid, will have
u tendency to produce a fruit of high
quality" 1t is doubtless true that Sc
lection Of varieties for planting will
do much to give favor, even in a wet
season

A Point worth Considering.

A close observer has well said that
'sbirds have different tastes from
men; as rule they prefer bitter,
sour OF insipid fruit. We should
never destroy such species as the
wild cherry, wild grape, elder, black
berry, juneberry, mulberry, dogwood,
Virginia creeper, buckthorn, sumach,
.bittersweet and others. BY encour-
aging such plants we are approach
ing solution of the problem, that
will preserve for our own benefit
both the cultivated fruit and the
birds" This is point that we think
many people have overlooked. Where
birds are most destructive is in local
tiles where no food exists other than
that growing in the farmers garden.

A ABLACKSMITH'S STRANGE EX-
PERIENCE.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N e. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been great sufferer from Rheuma
tism. He was SO bad that he could not
sleep for the great pain in his arms
and shoulders. He had been afflicted
for years, but lately he was so much
worse, that he thought he would have
to give up his shop altogether.
Then a strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended new med
icine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be cure for rheumatism. He
commenced to use them and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is a well man to-day, and
entirely free from any symptom of
Rheumatism.
To say he is thankful, is putting it
very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve great
credit for having cured this very Sc
we're and almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, rheumatism,
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after hav-
ing been given up by the best doctors.

The Fruit Bark Beetle

A pest discussed. at some length
in recent New York bulletin is the
fruit bark beetle. This was especial
ly prevalent last season and did
much damage in peach orchards in
western New York, and in some scat
tered plum and cherry plantation
On peaches its principal injury was
due to punctures of the bark on the
trunk and larger limbs, through
which the sap oozed and formed gum
my excrescences. On plum and cher
~, however, more injury was done by
punctures in the tWigs. causing death
Of the foliage. The natural home of
this insect is in dead bark, so all
brush piles and dead trees should be
removed from the orchards. Caustic
washes upon trunks and branches
serve as a preventive measure, and
cutting off and burning the infested
twigs destroys many Of the beetles.

An old lady went to a station a
little way out of the city and asked
when the next train would go to
Glasgow. "Twelve-ffteen,' said the
ticket clerk. 1t was then nine a. m.
Shortly afterwards the woman came
again and asked the same question.
Same reply. At ten o'clock the same
question, same answer. and so on
at intervals of so minutes until 1880.
Then the man was vexed.

gov until 12: 49,

ASPARAGUS BEETLE IN VARIOUS

centrate upon them, feed for a short
time, and then deposit their eggs.
These trap plants can be sprayed
thoroughly with paris green and water
at the rate of four ounces in 40 GAL
Ions. The poison can be applied dry
BY mixing one pound of paris green
in 100 pounds of common flour or land
plaster.
The insects attacking young buds
should be collected by hand at first. A
couple OF small boys with tin pals or
pans containing about one pint of
water and teacupful of kerosene can
catch the beetles by bending the young
plants over the vessel and shaking
them slightly, care being taken not
to break them off. AS soon as the
plants begin to leaf out, they can be
sprayed or busted with paris green
If the young larvae or worms are
brushed off on the dry, hot, sandy soil,
during the middle of the day, many
of them are destroyed
The fight in combating this pest
should begin now to save the crop both
this and next year. AS soon as the cut
ting season is over and before the old
vines have become veritable breeding
beds for the beetle, spray OF dust thor
oughly. The insects spend the win
ter as adults and hide any place they
can find protection. If, therefore, the
early and late broods are destroyed,
the greatest number of them can be
prevented from reaching maturity If
the first brood now depositing its eggs
is fought persistently, the second gen
Grafton will not be so difficult to han

tration given herewith from drawing
by 3. Il. Chittenden, United States de-

practical to spray old beds from which
asparagus is being cut for the de-
struction of this pest. The beetles
cluster upon the young shoots just as
they are coming through the ground;
even at times going below the sur
face, attacking the young plants. In
old beds, several stalks should be per-
mitted to stand in each row at inter-
yals of about two rods. These stalks
