APPLES ON CRAB TRUNKS.

Here is a nut for the apple man to
crack: Two apple trees, one located
near Dubuque and the other on the
prairie in north central Iowa. are hale
and hearty and bearing good crops of
fruit at thirty-two years of age. There
Is nothing very remarkable about this,
but when we say that both these trees
are Seek No Farther apples. top graft
ed on the stock OF Siberian crab, the
Seek No Farther being an apple which
1t Is utterly impossible to raise upon a
root graft in the territory named, it be-
comes a fact of much interest for all
fruitmen. These trees, surviving the
climatic changes and shocks Of thirty
two years and bearing abundant crops
of one of the best apples in the world
on their little Russian trunks, is an OBJ
ject lesson which should be needed by
all those who are interested in growing
fine apples. We also know of Jona-
than apples SO top worked which are
bearing fine crops splendid fruit In
southern Minnesota territory In
which the Jonathan apple is no more
at home than Is our colored brother.
Facts like the foregoing should be
needed and acted upon by our fruit
men.

Gas stoves consume the air required

Cold feet, 80 It is said, are to great
extent responsible for the digestive
troubles prevalent with children.
A child should be taught to take
care OF his own clothes as well an to
be neat in putting away his toys and

Until children are six or seven yenrs
old they should have twelve hours
sleep every night, and in addition to
this the infants should have a nap Of
two hours or more either in the morn
ing or afternoon.
To promote children's appetites take
care that they have plenty of outdoor
exercise and that they have only such
simple. homely food as they can di-
gest. IL this be done, there will sell

'Short stockings" says chiropodist,
''nre fully as bad as short shoes. Many
customers who come to me with in
growing nails wonder how they were
produced when care has always been
taken to wear shoes amply long and
are greatly surprised when tell them
q short stocking will produce an in
growing nail just as surely and about
as quickly as a short shoe. Mothers
are often careless In this respect. par

rapidity with which the different sizes
become outgrown confuses them, and

We know of some men who are go-

and that existing high values for all
farm produce are abnormal and not at

when the law Of supply and demand
shall equalize prices. 1t is all right to
buy such a farm for an investment,
paying for it when the deed is passed,
as it will rent for enough to pay low

from that Of trying to pay for such a

wHlcH SHOULD BUILD THE FIRE,

W A1Cn SnODAO BUILD IaE r1hEs
We are asked whether it is the duty
Of the man or his wife to get up in the
morning and build the fire. On gener-
al principles any man in good health
who will let his wife do this work
needs the discipline Of the church.
Where women are made to do this,
they will almost always speak of their
husbands as their man." the tribute
which slave pays to the master. The
wife is usually the last to retire. She
has the kids to look after, the cat to
put out. the clock to wind and, like
enough, some stockings to darn and
patch to put on Johnny's breeches long
after 'her man is abed and sound
asleep. Then. IL man has to build
the fire the kindling is always ready.
which Is not always the case when
his wife builds 1t. However. there are
some exceptions to this rule. Where
the woman dominates and practically
runs the farm and the home and the
little man up IN bed Is only pawn for
her to move here and there. III such
cases let her build the fire every time.
Few men become SO thoroughly hard
ened that they can listen with pleasure
to their good wives rattIlng the lids OF

AS TO j. A. JENNINGS
Man Murdered at Road House Was Not
OF a Quarrelsome Disposition.

The Emery County Progress says j.
A. Jennings, the man who was killed
last Thursday night by Barney Eek
stein at road house and saloon ON
south State street, Salt Lake CITY, was
son-in-law of V. l.. Accord Of Castle
Dale. It viii be remembered that on
Sunday. Aug. o. 1899, Mr., jennings
wife, who was the daughter OF Mr..
Accord, committed suicide IN this city,
by shooting herself The husband and
wife had not gotten along very pleas
antly, and the suicide followed a period
of dependency suffered by Mrs. Jen-
nngs. The two had been married then
some five years the marriage having
occurred Mt Vermlllon, SEWER county.
Those who knew Jennings here never
regarded Tim ms man OF r0Wdy or
qLarrelsome disposition, and from
the reports published Of the recent
tragedy, believe that he was the victim
of foul play. Barney Eckstein Is also
known here, having been in the employ
Of Ike CHASER Of Helper, when the lat
ter ran a saloon in FerrOn. EckstclA
also pedded and purchased hides and
pelts IN Emery county a few years
ago.
Jennings married again about year
ago his second wife being a daughter
OF Mr. and Mrs, c. H. Jensen Of Provo
