A PoSTMASTER's DISCOVERY.

Lancaster, N. Y, April 21st.-Mr.
John Remers, postmaster of this vii
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doc
tored with local physicians as well as
several specialists from Buffalo, but
got no better. Indeed he was gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors med
icine and commenced a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to moth
ing but Dodd's Kidney Pills and says:
eff 1 could only talk five minutes to
every one who has Diabetes I am sure
I could convince them that they
needn't suffer a moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in
every drug store.

from sick men or women, as I think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told

Vogeler's Compound, wishes every other
sufferer to know of the benefit he has re-

telles his story as follows:
Gentlemen find Vogeler's Compound a
remedy above all others; for about this time
last year l was in thorough bad state of
health, and could hardly drag one leg after
the other. l had tried dozens of remedies

attendant evils, but was rapidly going from
bad to worse, when l had the good fortune
to be recommended to take Vogeler's Com

SPRING GARDEN NOTES.

A shade tree is an ornament and
adds to the value of the farm. Set out
few this spring.
Half a dozen currant bushes and a
few gooseberry bushes will do for a
starter in the small fruit line if your
farm is barren of bushes.
Poles for the beans, stakes for the
tomatoes gotten ready now, will have
time when spring work crowds. An
added reason for getting them ready
now is they will be on hand when
wanted.
When making out your order for
field and garden seeds do not forget to
ask the good wife what flower seeds
she wishes-by the way, it would not
be bad idea to consult her when Sc
lecting the vegetable seeds.
If you have no glass with which to
make hot bed take piece of cotton
cloth and give it coating of linseed
oil, this stretched over a frame will
make very good substitute. Try it
and get a few early vegetables .-Farm-
ers' Voice.

FARMERS HOTBED.

should also have stay across the top
about every six feet to prevent the
sides from springing out; shown at
A, Fig. 1. About the LIST to the 18th
of March, according to the earliness
of spring, preparations should be
made for the hot-bed. Select some
sheltered spot where there is plenty
of sunshine and dig out a hole about
one foot larger than the frame on
every side and about 2h feet deep.
Draw out a load or two of fer
menting horse manure. If the ma
nure is heating evenly all through it
may be put into the pit at once, if
not it should be shaken up thorough
ly and piled up in close, compact
pile and left a few days. If any por-
tions of it are dry, it should be wet
down. In filling the pit, care should
be taken to tread down the manure
firmly. The manure should extend
beyond the frame on all sides, one
foot at least, then set on the frame
and bank it up on the outside to the
top of the frame with manure.
Next put on six or eight inches of
soil, put on the sash, and let it sweat.
By about the third or fourth day it
will do to sow to seed. Radishes, let
tuce and onion sets may. be put in
along with cabbages, pepper and egg
plants. The sash should be raised a
little every day to give the plants
fresh air. When moisture begins to
gather on the under side of the glass
you may know the temperature is
running too high and that fresh air
should be admitted. Care must be
taken not to allow cold wind to blow
on the plants. In cold nights the
sash should be covered with straw
mating or burlaps, and in case of
rain or snow it is well to have an inn
proved hot-bed shutter, the same size
as the top of the hot-bed. This shut
ter saves time and labor. To make
it get strips of three-eighths-inch
thick lumber, nail these onto cleats
seven-eights-inch by two-inch, at ends
and middle, then take some building
paper and spread over the entire sur
face, then fill and pack the spaces
with rye straw. Cover again with
building paper and nail on the boards
on the under side. This shutter takes
the place of the ordinary board shut
ter and straw mats and saves time
in handling Two iron handles, like
door handles, screwed on near each
end midway, help handle it. One can
do quite business with few hot
beds of this kind.-C. HI. Hickox, in

table Business with a Few Beds
of This Kind.

The methods of preparing and car

with a little forethought and care
one should have no trouble. The or
binary stock size of hotbed sash car
ried in stock by dealers is three by
six feet, but any old sash will an
swer the purpose.
The hot-bed should be laid out to
extend east and west, and the north
side of the frame should be about
six inches higher than the south side,
to give the grass a pitch toward the
sun. Take plank or board ten
inches wide for the front and one 16
inches wide for the back is about
right. The ends-o of the frame should
come up even with the top of the
side planks, and be ripped off to give
the proper pitch. A cleat should be
nailed on the end of the hot-bed
shown at c in Fig. 1, to hold the sash
from slipping endwise. The frame

JUDGMENT IN PRUNING.
The Condition of Shoots Themselves
Rather Than Rules Should Gov
ern the Operation.

The Experimental Station Record
thus reports paper read before the
academy of sciences at Paris: The
author, f. Kovessi, holds that the
ripeness of the wood materially in
fuences the production of fruit the
following season. This is true not
only of vines but of fruit trees. The
influence of ripeness is felt in two
ways: 1t modifies the ripeness and
the position of the fruit buds and
also the number of fruits. With we'll
ripened wood the fruit buds be-
gin close to the base of the shoot on
which they are borne, say the third
bud, while on shoots of poorly-ma-
tured wood the fruit buds commence
to form only with the fifth bud. Be-
sides, the shoots in the first case will
carry two or three branches, while
in the second there will be only one.
The production of fruit crop, there
fore, is subject to the influence of
the meteorological conditions of two
seasons: The year preceding, which
determines the degree of ripeness of
Tie SHOOUS, anu UuuS UHe pOSIUIOu iul
number of punches, and that of the
same year, which affects fiorization,
ratification, and the maturing of the
crop. An examination of the wealth
er record and of vintage production
over long periods of time showed
that dry years, which permit of the
thorough ripening of the wood are
usually followed by abundant har-
vests, while wet years, which favor
late, immature growth of wood, are
followed by small harvests.
These facts are susceptible of prac-
teal application, and furnish ra-
tional basis for the pruning of diff
ferent varieties in different localities
If the season has been such that the
vines are well matured pruning
should be short. If the season has
been rainy and conducive to the pro-
duction of poorly-matured shoots the
pruning should be longer than other
wise. It is the condition of the
shoots themselves rather than rules,
which govern in pruning.

TRUCK FARMING PAYS.
ally and in a Business-Like
Manner,

The over supply of staple crops
causes some farmers to turn their at
tention to truck farming. With a good
market at hand, this business should
be profitable, although truck crops are
perishable, and cannot be held back
for more favorable prices, as can be
done with staple crops. However,
there is large demand for vegetables
and small fruits, and proper cultiva-
ton and careful marketing will bring
paying results, taking one year with
another. Such products need to be
handled promptly, as, for instance,
strawberries, which must be put on
the market at once. They are too
often sent to larger cities for better
prices, and prove a disappointment,
when fair profit would have been re.
allied if they had been sent to the
smaller towns.
The truck farmer should have q
knack of marketing his produce, if pos
sible putting it into the hands of the
consumer. A lack of ability in this DE-
rection is the chief cause of failure
in this line of farming. The truck
farmer usually sells his vegetables and
small fruits to the grocer, or to com.
mission men, when, with a little more
perseverance he could reap the entire
profits. Prompt attention to the de.
tails of business, and courage to meet
small profits, are the conditions essen
tial to small farming. To grow fruits
and vegetables successfully requires
a considerable outlay of money and
labor, as well as turning to account
every available means. The uninitiat-
ed would hardly believe how much at
tention, fertilizing, and soil turning,
the business requires.
Taking the country over, there are
comparatively few farmers who pro.
duce small fruits and vegetables in suf-
ficient quantities to supply their own
families. 1t seems strange, indeed,
that such necessary articles of food,
so easily produced on the farm, are
not more abundantly supplied.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND
CONFISCATED IN
NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con.
victed and fined heavily number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus TAX.
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make SUBJ
stitutes and imitation goods to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis, but the ordinary housekeep-
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, can
not make chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for a
pound can, or that some prize-like a
spoon, or glass, or piece of crockery,
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking powder
of established name and character,
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum
danger will, it is hoped, finally be
driven from our homes.
