THE FARMERS GARDEN.
when Well Kept and Carefully At
tended 1t In Always Sure to
Bring Good Returns.

The question is what are the best
things to raise in a garden and how
shall we go to work to raise them? A
man bought farm that was overrun
with gooseberries. He tried to destroy
them, but failed. He was discouraged
and in debt, but in going to the city on
business one day he found gooseberries
selling on the market at a good price.
He went back home and began cult
waiting his gooseberries and placing
them on sale. In time, and not very
long time, either, he had his farm paid
for and plenty of means to increase his
business. Gooseherries are good
crop to. grow, and even for ones use
only, it pays to plant them. They grow
rapidly and can be propagated from
cuttings. A good way to set them is
to cut off from five to six inch pieces,
and before the buds start in the spring
set them in the ground leaving one or
two buds above the surface Press the
earth around them and nature will do
the rest. These plants will make good
bushes the second year and by the
third will be bearing we'll. Gooseber-
ries almost always bring good price,
and can be easily grown in any climate.
With fresh curly lettuce the average
farmer girl can earn her summer ri;o-
bons and have little left for confec-
tionery if she would set her heart
to the work. Radishes are another
easy crop and they never fail of mar
ket. Peas, too, are very salable, and
the girl or woman who will plant a
large quantity of nice table peas can
very easily find a market for them. In
sowing peas for the market it is neces-
sary to select standard varities, the
kinds which grow and give the best sat-
fsfaction. For the early market there
is nothing better than the Extra Early
or the Honey Dew. Last year I had
some of the Everbearing peas. These
are a most valuable sort for medium
and late crop. They continue to bear
until frost with but little attention.
The pods are good size, the peas rich
and meaty, and the customer who buys
OF you once will buy again. A care
fully attended vegetable garden will
always bring good returns to any
farmers wife or daughter if, she has
the necessary pluck and energy

Large Italian Creamery.

Da,rying is advancing rapidly in the
various civilized nations of the world.
During the last few years there has
been in operation at Milan, Italy, what
is perhaps the largest creamery in the
world. Its daily receipts of milk run
from $4,000 to 100000 pounds. The
creamery is also engaged in the max
ing of cheese of all kinds including the
cheddars. The establishment cost
over 100000, and employs so men, in
GLIDING hau,ers of milk. The cream
cry has this advantage over others in
that, the milk being hauled by their
own men in their own cans, the latter
can be kept clean. This is seldom pos
sib!e where the patrons bring milk in
their own cans. Much of the product
of this creamery factory is sold in
London market.

THREE PRUNING DEVICES.
They Are Extremely Simple, But N
Labor and Temper Savers They
Have No Equals.

Numerous have been the inventions
for ena bling person to stand upon the
ground and prune small branches from
the tops of trees, or from other situa-
tons out of reach. Some of these tools
work fairly we'll when the branch is
small and easily cut off, but they fail
more or less in the case of more seri-
GUS pruning. A simple device is por-
trayed that is easily made at home,
and that will do good work, even if the
branch to be cut out is quite large. 1t
is a square, or round, pole of any de-
sired length, of hard wood, with mar
row, sharp little saw fitted firmly into
one end of it. Such saw can be made
out of thin strip of steel, or piece
of an old narrow saw can be utilized.

THE WOMAN AT HOME.
Her Influence In the Chief and Es-
sential Thing In Making Family
Life Perfect

There is no place where the graces of
true womankind shine out more con-
spicuously than in the common daily
intercourse of the family. Patience,
gentleness, tender sympathy, love and
forbearance here come into play with
Q force and influence felt in no other
place. Here those virtues, which have
their source in the Divine nature, find
their most congenial atmosphere. Let
them be lacking, or any of them, and
the harmony is broken, and peace and
joy depart. It is not to be understood
that the happiness of the family re-
lation does not also depend in a large
measure upon the character of the hus-
band and the father, but we insist
only that the influence of the wife and
mother here is the chief and most es-
sential thing. The home is, primarily,
what she makes it. It is her domain,
to neglect her duties at the behest of
society, or because of other outside in
terests, the home suffers from her alb
sence, and the family loses all that
charm and brightness which her pres
ence should infuse. There is danger,
we apprehend, in these days of prog
ress and reform" particularly in the
matter of "woman's rights" of UNDER
valuing the influence and character of
the family life. It is sometimes talked
of as matter of small consequence in
comparison with that so-called wider
sphere outside of home duties, to which
many are inspiring. But let the
truth be emphasized, that the mothers
of to-day hold the levers of the worlds
tomorrow. Let impurity, discord and
dissension enter the homes of the
people, let the family life be corrupted,
and disease and death will fasten itself
upon the vitals of the republic, and it's
days will be numbered. Domestic hap
piness underlies national strength and
prosperity, and the nearer we approach
to the ideal home the less we shall have
to fear for the future. - Leslie's
Weekly.

NEW AMERICAN SINGER.



Bessie Abbott,sthe American vaude.
vile actress who left the stage four
years ago to STUDY for the opera on the
advice OF Jean de Reszke, has just made
her debut as a grand opera star in
Paris, and has created a great COM
motion in music. circles there. Her
Juliette is described as the most per-
feet ever sung in Paris, not excepting
even Patti. The critics are unequivocal
in their praise, and the success of the
former vaudeville actress in grand op-
era is assured. Miss Abbott IS a
member of the Pickens family, of South
Carolina. She went on the stage seven
years ago as one of the three "Abbott
sisters" and for three years sang Il
Don't Want to Play in Your Yard" and
other popular songs, which were first
sung by her. She has beautiful face

and figure, and, in America, was the
favorite Of the three sisters.
Great teachers, such as Manouery,
Julians and Fugure, accord warm and
earnest praise to the young American.
Manouery says: miss Abbott is the
best Juiette I have ever heard. More.
over, with the exception of Patti, she
is the only prima donna who has ever
been able to render the part as written
in the original score. That is to say,
Miss Abbott sang the score of Juliette
in G, which requires her to put her full
voice on high D, the attack of which
was absolutely perfect. 1t should be
remembered that neither Melba nor
Eames ever attempted to sing the score
of Ju2iette in G, but did so in F, a full
tone lower than Miss Abbott sang it,
Pierre Gailhard, the director of the
opera, states: "Ip my opinion Miss Bes-
sic Abbott is the most perfect Juliette
that has ever sung in Paris, and in
saying this I do not even except Patti.
Miss Abbott's compass is most remark
able, ranging from B below the line to
G above the line, or high G."
After Miss Abbott completed the first
phrase of the score of Juliette at the
opera Gailhard ran up to her and
kissed her on the cheek and exclaimed:
my dear child, your triumph is as
sured."
Miss Abbott replied: "Why, I have
scarcely begun TO sing yet" Gailhard
rejoined &'.O;s you have won the: ear OF
the public, and you are success now,
no matter what you may do"
After the performance Gen. Porter,
the ambassador, wrote her note stat
ing that it was the most remarka bic
debut he had even attended. Among
those who expressed themselves most
enthusiastically and most unequivo-
cally in admiration of Miss Abbott's
voice is James Gordon Bennett, who
is of a disposition not easily moved
by music, but who has surprised his
friends by his keen, accurate and
eager praise of the young American
singer.
AS much inaccurate information has
appeared in French papers in regard
to Miss Abbott it may be stated that
she was born at Riverside, in northern
New York, the country seat of the
Pickens family, of South Carolina, and
on her mothers side is grandniece
of the late Archbishop Benson, of Can
terbury, and traces her lineage from
the Abbotts of Abbottsford. She was
educated at convent and at St. Johns
private school in New York city. Jean
de Reszke, whom she met in England,
persuaded her to give up ballad sing
ing and study for opera.
Miss Abbott says her success is due
to her teaching under Nine. Freda Ash
forth and M. Fidele Koenig, chef
de chant of the Paris opera.
Capoul gave her lessons in stage
department.. To sum up, the YER
dict of Paris is that Miss Alb
bolts success is assured, and the only
thing she needsis to study the dramatic
side of her profession, which at pres
ent is her weak point.

FULL-BLOOD INDIAN BABIES.
There Are But Few Coming Into Ex.
istence and the Number IL
Decreasing.

The present generation of full
blooded Indian babies is interesting
from many points of view. In the
first place, says the Cosmopolitan,
there is no doubt that in a few years
there will be no more full-blooded In
dams born, as men and women of
pure Indian blood are rapidly marry
ing either white persons or Indians
whose blood is largely mixed with
that of the whites. Then, too, these
little copper-brown babies are some-
thing Of an anachronism, for manv
of them preserve, to q great extent,
the bringing up and training known
to their fathers, and at the age of Ia
or IA find themselves well versed in
the charms and nominations of the
medicine men and expert in the use
of the scalping knife, but with Ia
mentable lack Of subjects upon whom
to practice their skill. Moreover, these
pure-hlooded children 1 inherit, in
many cases, large sums from the sale
of lands to the government, or own
valuable reservation property, so that
many Of them have more suitors than
Penelope. It is only On. the reser-
vations Of the far southwest that the
curious little Indian babies are to
be found. There are now among the
90 tribes only 5000 full-blooded In
dian children. In these same tribes
there are more than 1000 children

Tree Hospital in Paris.

When hospitals for animals were
first inaugurated it was considered by
many. people foolish waste of time
and money. What would they have
said of q tree hospital? Such an insti-

where they have so successfully
learned the art of transplanting large
trees that at the first sign of unthrift
or decay in tree on boulevard, it is

SAVE YOUR OWN SEEDS.
This Advice Applies Not Only to ANA
tours and Farmers But Also to
Market Gardeners.

Why not save your seeds? It Is
wiser, better, cheaper, and adds ma
terially to the pleasure of garden
ing. You desire the best. To secure
that, select the best of that which
suits you the best. There is a great
diversity of taste; some prefer one
form of color, another quite differ
ent one. This is an individual mat
ter, and in no way aft cts the prin-
ciple. We all have our preferences
as to species. We all want the best
defined of given type. To secure
this result. selection is necessary, and
selection means choice. It means the
most vigorous plant that produces
the flower or vegetable best suited
to your taste. Save the seeds from
such for future use. Great care is
required to make the selection valu.
able. After a choice of plants is
made, the first flower should not be
allowed to seed, as they are never so
perfect as those that come later. If
the second flowers are all that can
be desired, if they are improvements
over those of previous years, careful
ly remove all the undeveloped buds
on the plant, so as to give the blooms
the full strength of the plant for the
ripening of their seed. This is the
way all new varieties are produced,
and the way that others may be. If
a flower shows the slightest change
in color or marking, it is sure indi-
cation of new variety. From this
plant save the most marked, even
though the flowers in other respects
may not be desirable. Save the flow
er for seed that shows the greatest
change, and do not trust another
to bloom until that seed is ripened.
Follow this up for a few years and
a variety may be produced of more
money value than the cost of the
whole garden during those years.

CAUSE OF PEAR BLIGHT.
Plausible Theory Advanced by q HOr.
ticulturist Who Has Studied
the Problem.

AS many farmers have planted pear
trees in this country and then have
been disappointed in the yield of the
delicious fruit by that terrible
scourge, blight, and as 1 have studied
the nature of the pear tree some, I
thought would give my opinion of the
cause and leave the farmer to Judge
for himself of the value of my obser-
vations. In the first place allow me to
say that the nature of the Seeding
pear tree is for the tap roots to go
down deep like the roots of the hick-
DRY or black walnut, fact that one
will notice by taking up seeding pear
trees. The roots were from one and
a-half to three times the length of the
tops. We measured one tree. The top
above ground was 11H inches, and the
root exactly So inches Now, if that
is their nature to thus go down, farm
ers know that the usual practice
among nurserymen is to run tree
digger under their tree at one year
old. and cut all the roots say from ten
to twelve inches from top of ground,
so they can lift the trees by hand as
sold. This cutting causes the roots
to spread out at the surface of the
ground instead of going down as ma
ture intended, and thus the roots are
baked in drought, causing blight and
death. Now If this does not make
piece-root trees, although they may
have been whole-root grated, will you
tell me what it takes to constitute q
whole-root tree? If, as have said be-
fore, it is in the nature of the pear or
any other tree to thus go down to per-
manent moisture, I think it would be
good idea on hard pan land to bore
hole four feet and put in half stick
of giant powder and break and loosen
up where the treets are set. If you
ever noticed the growth of any tree
where an old we'll has been filled in
you would see the Importance of loos-
ening up deep.-W. I. Davis, in St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
