Successful Fruit Growers.

If there Is anything that modern
agriculture teaches il is that more
skill. knowledge and experience are re-
quired in successful fruit growing than
almost any other branch of farming.
There are more failures with fruit
farms than any other. There Is conse-
quenuy heard the cry in nearly every
State that there Is no money in fruits,
and farmers are turning their atten-
tion to other lines Of farm work Yet
in spite Of this the last census shows
some interesting figures, which goes
to prove that fruit growing when prop
erly conducted Is the most profitable
OF farm specialties. Compared with
other farm products the best fruit
farms Of specially favored locations
yielded twenty-five per cent. on the
capital employed. against nineteen per
cent. In general farming and seventeen
per cent. on grain and hay. Only the
nursery business and flower and plant
growing exceed fruit raising. and these
latter were possible only where the soil
and climate were very favorable
The claim that fruit growing success.
fully requires experts Is absolutely
true. Almost any one can raise pigs;
poultry and general crops. and can
make n moderate living But few can
produce fine fruits A great many
start in with the idea that they can.
and then after failing as result Of
their ignorance they condemn the
whole business. II is not unnatural
that they should influence others 90 be.
lIeve that there is no money in raising

start. The balls must be kept slightly
moist.

Five.Gored Flare Waist.

The skirt that fits snugly about the
hips and flares freely at the feet is
in the height of style for young girls
as well as for their elders. This ad.
mirable May Manton model includes
all the latest features and will be found
very satisfactory in every way. As
shown. the material is broadcloth In
tobacco brown, but all cloths and chev
lots, as well as the lighter weight
woods and silks are appropriate.
The skirt is cut In FIVE cores, that
being found the most becoming Of
all styles. Each gore is carefully
shaped. and widens as 1t approaches
the fashionable fare The fulness al

are quite fat. but produce graceful

old Joe. ,h. Night w.,chmn,

(From the Pail Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late on a
dreary winters night has our sympathy
gone out 10 the poor old night watchman
as he sat huddled up over his cage fire
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or otherwise,
allow the different water companies 60
make SO frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under all eli.
matte conditions, the poor old night watch
man is obliged 10 keep watch over the
companies property, and to see that the
red lights are kept burning. What life,
TO be sure; what privations and hardships;
they have aches and pains which nothing
but 81. Jacobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old joe is in the employ of the Lam.
beth Water Works, and is well and favour
bly, known. He has been night watch.
man for many years, in the course Of
which he has undergone many cXpe
rcnces. What with wet and cold, he con
tractcd rheumatism and sciatica, which fair
ly doubled him mp, and il began 10 look a
serious matter for old Joe whether he
would much longer be able TO perform his
duties, on which his good wife and himself
depended for a livelihood, but as IL hap
pcned passer.by who had for some
nights noticed Old Joe's cainful condition,
presented him with ,.ottle of St Jacobs
OIL, and told him 10 use IL. Old Joe
followed the advicc given; he crawlcd
home the next morning and bade his wife
rub his aching back with the 81. Jacobs
oil "a gentleman gave him. and undoubt.
odly his wife did rub, for when Old Joe
went on duty at night he met his friend
aud benefactor, 20 whom he remarked:
Them oils you gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me a doing; they wuz like pins and
needles for time, but look at me now"
and Old Joe began TO run and jump about
ike a young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone he had been telling
everybody he met what st. Jacobs Oil
had done for him. Old Joe says now he
has but one ambition in life, and that il
ID always 10 bc able 10 keep bottle OF
81. Jacobs OIL by him, Tor he says there is
noth Y like il in the world.
St Jacobs OIL serves the rich and the
poor, high and low. the same way II has
conquered pain for fifty years, and il will
DO the same 10 the end Of time. II has no
equal, consequently no competitor; it has
many cheap limitations but simple facts
like the above tell an honest tale with
"hich nothing on earth can compete

Tobacco, oranges and pineapples are
now being grown under glass or shell
ter, and those who have yentured into
such work find that the method pays.
More capital must be invested. but a
farm Of two acres under glass will
give a larger profit than an ordinary
farm Of 100 acres or more. On the
small area only the crops that sell AT
the highest prices are grown, and,
while greater expense is incurred, yet
the crops pay. Garden crops are also
receiving attention. and the future
will witness hundreds OF covered small
farms.

Cook Cereals suraci.ntl,.

Too little cooking is NJ the bottom OF
many difficulties. In cereals, for ex

properly appreciated many persons
who now decry the use of cereal foods

oatmeal requires at least an hour.

\ Mark ct for GraSshoppcrs.

The Denver Times OF recent date is
authority for the statement that L. b.
-WorthingtOn, who resides near Golden,
is engaged in the pursuit OF harvesting
grasshoppers for pecuniary profit. He
has rigged machine for catching the
pests and when large quantities are
caught he places them in barrels, al
lows them to dry for several days: he
then grinds the insects into powder
and sells the powder for bird food.
Worthington claims that the powder
has ready sale and that there is big
profit in making it. He also claims
that there will be no grasshopperS in
Colorado next year. but that there will
be plenty of the 'varmintS' in Kansas,
and for this reason he will move to
that state and there pursue his opera
tions. II the gentleman prediction
about there being nu gras>hoppers in
Colorado next year is correct. and he
claims TO know whereof he speaks the
residents of this state will have cause
for rejoicing. Moreover. they Will be
interested to know that some use has
been found for the worst class of pests
that has ever Infested the state.
