Higl1more VS.. Miller.
Score of IS to 5 the
Result.

Last Saturday afternoon the
Miller aggregation OF ball tossers
played their first game OF the
season with our neighbors on the
west. The game was pulled off
at Highmore and although the
scores would indicate a big
difference, the teams were very
evenly matched during two thirds
of the contest. Snoddy was on
the slab for the Millentes while
Dickinson received his curves be-
hind the bat, Both did excellent
work, as did all their team mates.
However the play was some what
ragged at critical times in the
outfield and the home team dis
covering this, used it to good
advantage. Goose-eggs were
received by the Hlghmore BOYS
six times out of the nine at bat
and nine of the thirteen scores
piled up against our team were
taken in one inning. About
fourty from here besides the ball
boys were present at the game.
All report q good time and speak
very highly of the courteous
treatment extended to them by
Highm ore people. An effort is
being made to fix the return
game for Saturday, of this week

The craD apple is one Of the hardies,

a demand for crab apples in market,
they are found profitable by some. The
blossoms are beautiful in spring, and
the trees are more ornamental than
some which are used for shade and or
nament. The large and growing de-
mand for pure jellies and preserves
should create a larger market in the
future for crab apples.
Roller process bran is, On the aver
age, better than old process bran. Bran
is rich in ash, Or mineral matter,
which renders it a suitable food for
growing animals. 1t serves well with
all foods which are lacking in line OIL

equal to linseed meal or some othei

Homemade Fruit Ladder.

The average fruit ladder, as found in
most orchards, is not particularly de-
;lrable mainly because it is not de-
signed for this particular work. The
broad top of the common ladder makes
It almost impossible to get it among
The branches in a firm position. Where
Sne has considerable fruit to gather, a
special ladder constructed after the
plan Of the in the illustration will
be found not only useful, but will save
considerable time in the fruit-gather-
ing season.
A pole, preferably a green one from
the woods, should be secured, having
If Of the desired length. The largest
END should be split up about three feet
Ind a brace inserted to keep the sides
apart. The ends which stand on the
ground should be sharpened OF covered
with sharpened pieces of iron, which
my blacksmith can fashion and at
tach. Bore holes one and one-half
Inches in diameter in both sides as far
apart as the rungs are to be placed.
The rungs should be formed of some
Tough wood so that they may not be
made too bungling. At the top of the
pole a strip Of strap iron is fastened
with a long hook SO that it may be
passed over the branches Of the tree.
The illustration on the left of the cut
shows how the hook is fastened on.
This ladder will cost but a small sum,
and if well made will last for years.

wider and truer view of the situa.
ton. One essayist told Of a woman
who bought a farm, when overwork
forced her to retire temporarily from
her profession. She hires q man fol
outside work and a m to do the
rougler homework. She enjoys purd
air, fresh vegetables and plenty OF
milk and butter and eggs, and re-
ceives enough money for the hay pro-
duced on the farm to meet all her
expenses. The heroine Of the other
essayist was a successful stenogra'
pher, who, wanting a house Of heI
own, pitched upon a ~three-acre place
which was far from cities, but within
readable distance Of several summel
hotels. By study, perseverance, tact
and common sense, she presently
found herself marketing every yeat
five thousand pounds Of honey, fifteen
hundred ducks and quantities Of fine
fruit. Probably there is not a county
in any State which does not offer sim.
liar opportunities for tired women to
rest by change Of occupation, and
meantime earn a living; or for ambi-

market-gardening, poultry-keeping, or
some other speciality, and carry it on
to a profit. We glory in the women
