Adapt Fruit to the Locality.

We notice in our reports of the fruit
trade and the apple export trade that
western" Ben Davis are usually spec
flied as bringing the highest prices
paid for that variety, while maine"
BaldWins rank above Baldwins from
any other section. Now Ben Davis are
grown in Maine, and BahWinS in
some Of the Western sections, but they
do not attain the highest degree of ex-
cellence in either case. We would
advise Eastern farmers to stand by
the old sorts that have done so well
by them when they have been we'll
cared for. The Baldwin, Rhode Island
Greening, Snow, Jonathan, and SUIT
tons Beauty are always in demand,
and grow we'll in all the Northeastern
States. So for early fruit do the Red
Astrachan and Gravenstein. In some
soils King and Newtown Pippin thrive,
but not in all, the latter doing better
in the Middle States. They are all
good enough for table use. sell we'll,
and when sold the buyer has an appe-
tite for more just like them. Let the
Southern and lower Middle West have
monopoly of the Ben Davis, the
Black Twig and the Arkansas Black if
they wish. Let the Russian varieties
go to the far North, where they can
not grow a decent apple, if there is
such a place, and let some hundreds
of other varieties go where the wood
may serve as fuel, and then give more
care to pruning, fertilizing, thinning
and spraying what are left, and get
more profit from less labor.-American

A GrindstOne.

Some one writes to the American
Blacksmith to tell how he used dis
carded bicycle to drive grindstone.
He removed the top brace Of the frame
and stapled the front to a stout post
The near support was constructed from
by inch timber, and the frame
braced below. The sprocket of the rear
wheel was removed by cutting its
spOkes, and then mounted on the same
shaft as the grindstone. To do this he
filed the hole in the stone with piece
of wood, and bored a hole in the latter
of the same size as that in the sprocket.
Of course, his axle would then fit both.
1t appears that the chain he used was
made up of two. One was not long
enough. The aXles were mounted with
ball bearings, and the stone can be
driven at lightning speed with little
trouble.
While discussing this general subject,

Hints About Hogs,

It is better to try to prevent disease
than it is to try to cure it.
To be successful in swine growing the
hogs should be kept improving.
1t is not necessary for a man to slop
his overalls every time he does his hogs
These items are not written with hog
pen, but by experienced gained through
one.
Corn is all right as staple food for
the hogs, where the trouble comes in is
in making it the only food.
Be careful about feeding new corn,
AS it is after the excessive feeding of
this that cholera makes it's appearance.
ANY number of farmers have made a
success out of the hog business What
one man has done another man can do,
if ne be so Inclined.
The early buyers secure the tops.
They always get their pigs early and
have them acquainted with their new
homes long before breeding season
opens.

Rye for Pigs.

In Germany they tested rye as food
for pigs in comparison with barley. In
some cases the pigs refused it alto
gether, and when given in large
amounts it was not eaten readily. AS
a single ration it should not be con-
tinued long, and it ought in all cases to
be soaked or carefully ground. 1t gave
best results when fed with other feed
ing stuff that has larger percentage
of fibre, more protein and less of the
carbohydrates. 1t is not a good con-
centrated food for young cattle or
hogs.

foreign maid with her from France-a
girl named Rosette and as pretty as a

lone day, sitting before her glass,
Rosette combing her hair for her, she
heard her husband come into the room.
Her back was toward him and Rosette
was behind her, and they forgot the
mirror and so, sir, she saw in it, with
out stirring, both their faces, and she
saw the girl smile at her husband and
she saw him smile back at her She
understood everything, but she never
stirred, and she never said anything
to him, no, nor to the maid, sir.
This was her room, sir. In that little
closet Rosette had her bed, to be ready
if she called her. But one morning my
lady's bell rang furiousIy, and the maid
who answered it was told to do my
lady's hair, for Rosette had gone back
to her native country
"Au the time she was doing it the
girl thought she heard a faint, moan
ing sound, and was frightened, and
went back to the rest pale and trem-
bling, and before night it was we'll

closet there was not only locked, but
nailed up.

to his wild ways again in a measure
and drank a great deal, and my Lady
lived much alone. There never We're

stood long while before the locked

Then he said to himself: I cannot

opened. There were hundreds of nails
in it; but they were all out at last, and
the lock was forced, and my Lord arose
and tottered into the closet.
1T wasn't much they found, only a
few bones and an ornament or two,
but it was plain that the girl had been
tied hand and foot and bound to the
bed and left there to def she was

lady.
But ever since, sir, whenever there
is going to be misfortune in the fam

face, only its reflection. hope no rou-

AS for the American, he slept else
where the next night. He had no ad-
miration for ghosts, even the family
ghosts of noblemen. and he had no de-
sire to see Rosette smile at him in the
glass again.-New York Daily News.

Why the Creamery Pays.

Ia the days of our forefathers, when
creameries were unknown, the milk
was set in cold water or the cellar, and
the cream allowed to rise. Most of
the cream used on the farm to-day is
obtained by this method. What causes
the cream to rise is a difference in
specific gravity or weight of it and
the rest of the milk. In the cream
separator centrifugal force is used in
stead of gravitation. The force ap-
piled in the separator bowl the manu-

featuring companies claim to be seven
hundred times as great as the force of
gravitation, and thus you see why the
skim-milk from the separator contains
a smaller percent of butter fat than
the skim-milk from which the cream
has been allowed to rise, and this is
one reason why it is more profitable to
patronize creamery than to make the
butter on the farm. Another thing to
be considered is that the creamery
man, being skilled in the art of max
ing butter, is able to make a better
article than as rule is produced on
the farm, and then he can ship it
where it will command the highest
price, while the farmer has to sell at
local prices, which is usually several
cents below creamery prices.

HeInfnI Hints.

When an invalid's room needs sweep,

carpet rapidly with coarse towels
wrung out of cold water. This dispOses

the method employed by trained nurses.
An authority on dieting denounceS
the use of cold boiled potatoes in any
way, stating that they cannot be di-
gested. They are, he says, especially
hurtful to children.
Suet should be used to grease cake
tins instead of butter.
Too much acid in mayonnaiSe dress

A blending of two or more hayors is
usually more pleasing in gelatine jelly
than a single decided one.
A good way to scour water bottles is'
to tear newspaper into small bits
and nearly, or quite. fill the bottle.
Then pour in warm soapsuda. add a lit
tie ammonia and shake wen. Rinse
thoroughly before using the bottle

Sage tea, or any other beverage made
