Checking Frost with Oil Pots.


: From Fresno, California, comes a
report of the use there Of an electric
alarm and oil pots for the checking o.
frosts among the lemon trees. On one
estate wires were run from the house
Of the foreman to different parts OF
the lemon orchard and were there con-
nected with automatic thermometers.
The connection was such that when
the temperature in the orchard fell to
"a degrees, the wires rang a bell in
the sleeping room Of the foreman. One
night not long ago the temperature
reached the point named and the bell
rang. The foreman and his men at once
went into the orchard and lighted 600
oil pots scattered through it. The fires
were kept burning till 1880, when they
were extinguished The plan proved a
complete success. There was no frost
in the orchard, though around 1t
everywhere the frost lay white in the
fields, in the morning. The cost was
not large and the men in charge Of
the arrangement say that the frost
could have been kept of with much
smaller number of pots. This orchard
covered twenty acres. It is thus seen
that the possibilities in this direction
are considerable.

Art and Butter Making.

Recently we saw a picture Of. =.
creamery that had grounds beautiied
BY art and nature: Clumps Of ever
greens were here and there, while on
different parts of: the walls OF the fac
tory itself we're seen climbing vines.
Flowering shrubs were also in evil
dence. The whole presented picture
Of the most inviting kind. Some may
ask What has that to do with bring
ing milk and making butter?" The
answer is. that it has much to do with
those operations. The fact that the'
grounds and the buildings are well
Kept establishes standard of cleaE-
ness. The man that will look after
the grounds and keep them tidy anu
beautiful will be no less careful with
the inside of the factory, and he will
see that the watts, the floors and all
utensils are also tidy and clean. The
flowers have a reflex influence on the
butter maker and the employees, and
WITHOUT doubt exert a very great in
f1uence on the men that haul the
milk. Give US more of the beautiful
In connection with the work of the
creamery and we shall have more care
and more interest manifested in the
work of milk handling and butter
making.

After Twenty Years.

Lusks Springs, Ind, June sth.-1t
would be hard to find happier man
than Mr.. William Catterson Of this
place has been for the last few weeks.
For twenty years his wife has been an
Invalid with a complication Of disor-
ders, Neuralgia, Rheumatism and gen.
orally broken down constitution.
Mr.. Catterson had done everything
that loving care could suggest, but in
vain-his wife only grew worse.
Recently, however, he heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and determined to give
them a trial, and was overjoyed at the
splendid result.
From the very beginning of the
treatment she commenced to improve,
till now she is nearly we'll, and Mr.. Cat
terson is rejoicing. He says: Nothing
ever did her so much good. We will al
ways praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the
good work they have done for u.s.

lister. IT,
The great popularity of Peruna as =
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
,tonics are to be found in many drug
stores, These remedies can be procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pc
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at
a uniform price, and no druggist can
get it cent cheaper
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. It is done every
day without doubt.

The Up.to-D Date Farmer.

The up-to-date farmer keeps no I'M
profitable stock, NO = scrubs on his
farm. His steers and his hogs all pay
well for the feed he gives them, none
OF them, eat their heads off nor eat
his head off. He knows steer that
is not good feeder and lets some 9TH,
er man waste feed upon them. He tests
his cows and only those that can be
kept at a profit can lie down in his
green pastures. Nor will he permit
his wife to keep flock of nondescript,
flying, scratching, green-legged, black
skinned hens, even If her mother did
give her the seed. He can't bear the
disgrace of it. OF course the up-to-
date farmer has the latest improved
farming implements and to save horse
power and to do most efficient work,
always keeps them in perfect order.
When his farm implements are not IN
use he keeps them housed, IL it is
profitable to do so-a hdndred-dollar
wagon shed into which a twenty-five
dollar farm wagon is backed by hand
every time the team is unhitched is
not proitable.-Joseph Carter.

mighty stream that while it will over
throw the strongest obstacle to its
course that can be built, it will yield
to the slightest. One could hardly find
a more striking Illustration of the
power of slight things than the sharp
contrast between the behavior of. the
river, against a powerful check and
against slight one. For years the
government engineers struggled to
direct the river with massive stone
dikes. When the river could not
overthrow one of these it dug under
it, and so wrecked it. Money without
end was spent on bikes. There was a
mighty one below Gold Dust landing
in, Tennessee. 1t stood longer than
most of them, but food in the river
at last conquered and swept it away.
r. SHow, then, can the river be direct
ed? Simply by a few sticks set In
the sand. A row if piling, sometimes
with few brush hurdles, accomplish.
es it. The river sweeps through, ed
dies behind it, dropping sand and
building up a bar. Nowadays travel.
ing down the river through stretches
that once were broad and shallow, one
finds them narrow and deep, with
sandy sides, over the tops of which
can be seen just the tips of the piles
that accomplished the mighty change.

The New Silk Jackets.

Some of the new French silks show
broche or MORE backgrounds, while
Vatican and Pompadour effects lend
distinction to novel weaves of taffeta,
peau de sole and fou1ard.
A number Of the little black silk jack
cts of taffeta or other weave, are fin
lshed with cleft collar, revers, and ell
bow cuffs formed Of chine silk or Pom
padour brocade, and these look particu-
larly smart when worn over a blouse

velvet. On some. Of the more expensive
French models made in this manner the
black velvet accessories are embroidered

Applying Sprays.

The proper way to apply spraying
solutions is in the form of mist. This
mist should never be applied long
enough for the water to drip from
the leaves, as that will result in
scalding. Here comes in the neces-
sity of experience in spraying. The
man that does the work in the best
way must know exactly when to stop.
The spraying business is thus seen TO
be developing into a science. It used
to be thought that any man could
spray if he only had apparatus and
properly mixed materials. AS time
went on many disasters were reported,
which were later seen to be due to
inexperience on the part of the op-
orator. The condition of the atmos-
phere must also be taken into con-
sideration. II the humidity is only
such as to wet the leaves. spraying
may be done; but If the leaves are
dripping 1t is too wet to spray. ,5"'<

A Hint to Girls.

It was a little thing, but the other
day young girl was noticed following
her callers, two young men, into the
hall, as they took their leave. She even
accompanied them to the. porch, this,
undoubtedly, because she did not know
how to say goodbye and dismiss them
in the parlor. There was nothing form
al in the CALL which was merely a drop
IN of some school boys; but it would
have been a good time for that young
girl to practice the little dignifed con-
versation of the hostess, that presently
she will so very much need. A girl may
be all that is charming and companion
able, and cordial and hospitable, yet
preserve the ceremonious forms that
are the necessities of social intercourse.
