The time is rapidly approaching when
no man should die from disease, and
few men should die from accidents.
The time is coming when men will die

process of wearing out will be much
slower than 1t has been because they
Will know better how to take care Of

A Ylgorou. Pear stock.

The Kieffer pear is becoming popular
as stock to be used for building or
grating other less thrifty kinds. Some
growers who have set the Kiefters
have boen unable to find a profitable
market in their vicinity and have re-
grated to choicer kinds with surpris-
ing success. On the Hittinger farm
near Boston are some Kieffers regraft-
ed to Bose which have made remark
ably fine trees, extremely vigorous AMI
productive. and with fruit OF the very
finest quality. The Boston market
does not take very kindly to the Kief-
fer. although 1t can be prohtably sold
in season when pears are scarce.
Probably three bushels of Kiefers can
be grown as cheaply as two of most
other varieties. hence price somewhat
below the average Is still profitable

Graded Milk aud Cream.
So far as We know, 1t was Prof.
Fraser, of the Illinois Experiment Sta
ton, that first suggested the grading
of milk and cream for city use. We
believe this Is a thing to be desired.
The farmer that sells cream to city
people has little conception of Just
what kind of a cream he should send
to market. There is no standard. He
may send such thin cream that he
loses his customers, or he may send
such a thick cream that he may keep:
his customers. but bankrupt himself.
It would be well to have . standard
for the different kinds OF dairy prod
ucts put on the market, and let the
buyer pay accordingly. II he wants
cream that Is 20 percent butter fat,
let him have 1t, but II he wants cream
that is 80 per cent pure butter fat, let
him pay 80 per cent more for that
than for the cream that contained only

works and 16 in Richmond, of which one was
caused by fireworks.
