The maiden was suffering with seasick-

the incidents of this story open, a veritable

ached at her most unromantic gaspings over
the rail and her agitated and, strenuous
effort to lamp the hole in the bottom OF the
sea, approached her tenderly,. relates the
Los Angeles Herald.

Isis it?" she asked, satirically, as she
again made Pelee-oid demonstrations
TOO bad you had to give up" he contin-
ued, with the same beautiful intelligence
that characterizes all persons who try to
render first aid to the seasick.
Yes" she said, with exasperated savage
ness, as she wiped the tears from her red
dening lids. Il have given up everything
but my love for you; and now"-she made a
wild reach for the rail once more, and, after
4 few moments, she completed her sentence

THE BEN DAVIS APPLE.
IL Is a Good Marketing Variety, Hat
Its Popularity Should Not he
Carried Too Far.

PROFESSIONALLY more apples of the
Ben Davis sort have been planted in
the past few years than any other, or
almost any two or three varieties, and
there are plenty who are willing to put
out all their orchards with these trees.
The prejudice that existed against the
Ben Davis a few years ago has almost
entirely disappeared, and the disprov-
ing of the charges has made the fruit
more popular than ever. AS a COM
mercial apple the Ben Davis is excel
lent, and it makes good returns; but it
should not be inferred from this that
1t is the best apple or the best friend
of the apple grower. There are other
varieties far ahead of the Ben Davis,
but they require more knowledge Of
the needs of apple culture, and hence
few can raise them satisfactorily. The
result is they are being discarded too
generally, and M or later there
will be sc many apples of the Ben Da-
Wis sort in the markell that prices for
some others will advance rapidly.
There will always be a steady demand
for such fine grades as the Northern
Spy, the Winesap, York Imperial, Bald
wins, Greetings, Pippins. Yet every
year the proportion of these compared
to the Ben Davis variety shipped
to market is %lessening. Ex-
pert apple growers who have
been in the business for
years, let those not so familiar with
the work raise the Ben Davis apples
while they devote their attention to
more expensive sorts. In doing this
they know they are never in much
danger of facing a glutted market
They cater to'the fancy trade, and THU
is a steady trade in good and bad sea
sons. But it takes experience ant
knowledge to raise some of thes'
fancy apples for market. The mai
who has never had any experience will
orchards cannot hope to be success
full with them, while he may reach
fair success with Ben Davis. That

lar among commercial growers. 1t

ONION SETTING MADE EASY

which the handle it attached, the pins
projecting about two inches. Set the
tool on marked row and press lightly
with the foot. In each row thus made
deposit an onion set; run the rake at
tached to wheel hoe down the row and
the work is finished; or you can set
in each hole a young onion or other
plant, filling the hole and pressing the
soil a little. In case plants require
more room, mark as for onions and
plant in every other or every thru
hole. This insures rapid and effective
work, enabling one to do twice as
much in a given time as by the old
method.-John jackson, in Epitomist

CULTURE.
The FuII-Matted Row system Is quite
Popular, But should he Avoided
As a Mistake.

Probably three-fourths of all straw
berries are grown in this way, but
progressive fruit growers are fast
finding out that it is a mistake. 1t is
only iustiiable when the land is too
poor to grow them in other ways.
Make rows four feet apart, and set
plants IS to "a inches in the row. Let
the cultivator go in the same direc-
ton every time, so as to throw the
runners around without tangling
them, and as they root, narrow up the
cultivator.
The objections to the full-matted
row are that when the row is full, a
strip of ground some 20 inches wide
is left around the plants which can
not be cultivated. The crust forms
over this, excluding the air from the
roots and soil, and the water draws up
to the surface so the root are dried
out and injured. II the top of the
ground is dry, the runners will not
send down their shoots, but continue
to live on the mother plant, forming
several plants on the same runner
which blows around in the wind ano
does not take root until the fall rains
come, and then it has no time to make
and perfect the mruit buds and roots
and so the next season cannot bring
its berries to full size and maturity.
If the ground is rich the plants vii
mat so thickly that sunlight is exclud
ed from the lower foliage and thu
crowns Fruit buds which will no
form in dense shade will be lacking
Many of the berries are too small t.
pick and rot on the vines and sap tn
vitality of the plant, thus preventing
the better berries from growing t
full size.-R. NJ. Kellogg, in Farmers
Review.

PREVENT TOMATO ROT.
s,r,xinu with bordeaux Mixture or
AmmoniacnI Copper Cnrbon-
ate Will DO 1t.

Tomato rot is caused by a fungus
growth. Since this fungus develops
best in the presence of moisture any
thing that tends to keep the fruit dry
;s n preventive. 1t will be noticed
that where the fruit lies near the
ground. the lower side which is ex-
posed to the moisture that is pass
ing up into the atmosphere from the
earth, is likely to be attacked by the
rot. Tomatoes covered by a dense
growth of vine rot worse than those
that are in the sun.
The first thing to do is to train the
tomatoes up to stakes, to keep them
off the ground. Training to a single
stem by pinching off the side branches
Is also beneficial. as it admits sunlight
to the fruit and keeps it dry. AL
rotted fruit should be removed from
the vicinity of the vines SO thG spores
Of the fungus will not spread to otheI
fruit. Spraying with bordeaux mix
ture or ammoniacal copper carbonate
solution checks the rot materially
The latter solution is the best. IL
