No Remedy Hut Sprnytn&.

Several nice-soundng schemes for
getting the better of the San Jose scale
have been suggested. some of them
sincerely and some of them by frauds
who had Il powder of some kind for
injection into the trunk of the tree.
One writer suggests that if inexpensive
trees are planted around the orchard
it is desired to protect. the scale will
be kept off the more valuable trees.
This is nonsense. and the plan will only
result in providing additional food for
the scale. Any fruit grower trying this
plan on any considerable scale would
not only fail in accomplishing the de-
sired results. but would. in some States,
lay himself liable to prosecution for Ell
colraging the pest. Up to this time no
remedy for the San Jose scale has yet
been discovered except spraying. and
spraying persistently and thoroughly
season after season. Az for the pow
der and other things that are to be
injected into the trunk of the tree this
is plainly fraud and unworthy a mo-
ments consideration by any man of
sense. Indianapolis News.

LIFE OF JAPANESE WORKMAN.

Com Portable Existence for = Family
on Less than *S a Month.
The average monthly income OF the
japanese workman Is now something
less than So, says Eleanor Franklin,
in Leslie's Weekly. And this Is high
average. On this Japanese OF the
laboring class can keep family OF nve
or six in comfort and cleanliness and
enjoy all the simple pleasures dear to
the japanese heart. These pleasures
do not consist of feasting and drinking
to excess and going to places OF amuse-
ment, but are the pleasures afforded by
the peculiar and complete love OF ma
ture in all her moods.
"Flower gazing" is the Japanese ex-
preston, and flower gazing costs
nothing to the family that is willing to
tramp any number of miles to reach
some spot particularly beautified by
luxuriant display Of one Of the seasons
flowers, which, in their turn, fill every
month from the new year to the new
year. On these expeditions, which we
would call picnics, the family takes its
allowance of rice and tea, Of fish and
small picked vegetables, and its feast
is only such as it usually enjoys at
home. The Japanese laborer works on
an average twenty-six days each month
and his hours are ordinarily from sun
to sun. He doesn't work as hard as
his brother in the West; he doesn't
accomplish as much in given time,
not by any means; but he does his
work thoroughly, he is efficient, as
rule, and his pay has always been
sufficient for his needs.
He lives in neat little house Of
two rooms, spotlessly clean and SIM
pie to absolute baroness. For this he
pays something like 81 month, and.
thanks to the kindly climate of his
land he knows nearly nothing about
the expense of fuel. A little charcoal
for u tiny hibachi is all he needs, and
his cooking can be done on this or on
a less ornamental one in a wee bit of
an additional room called the kitchen.
His charcoal and light together cost
him less than $1.25 month, and for
this he has all the fuel and light he
finds necessary. He knows nothing
about the string Of rigid economy. Rice
costs him more than anything else.
He has to pay about So for enough Of
this commodity to keep his family a
month, and his only hardship really IL
that his income is not sufficient to pro-
vide for him the little Injuries of diet
that his more fortunate brothers enjoy.
And he has his fish and vegetables, too,
each costing him little less than 81 a
month, and after everything Is paid
for he still has enough left for tobacco.
hair cutting and shaving, for the hair
dressing of the women Of his family.
and for the daily hot bath in a neigh.

necessary to the well-being Of every

Preparing Potato Ground,

All potato growers admit that a soil
that is mellow and well-drained is alb
sOlutely essential for the best success
in potato-growing this is more than
half the battle. and in this age of in
sects and bacterial diseases one cannot
afford to grow potatoes for market I'M
less lie can supply the soil and the soil
condition mentioned. The thorough
preparation of the scedbcd is also i'm
portant. and the best growers prepare
the soil as thoroughly as they would
for wheat. First grade tubers for seed
and then constant cultivation to keen
the weeds down are the rest of the es-
sentials in successful potato culture.
In almost all sections, near large mar
kets. potato-growing is exceedingly
profitable. and the man with the soil
should raise the tubcrs.

Recent improvement in traction en-
gines and gang plows is making great

He pointed to an open Bible lying on
the floor. The little officer was watching
him with peculiar and continuous scru-
tiny. He barely glanced at the Bible or
at the still forms beneath the unwashed
sheet. All his attention was concentrat-
ed upon the survivor.
And now" he said, deliberately, "it
you will kindly go on board the Foam

"Eh?"
They stood looking at each other. It
is rather a difficult task for small man
to look up into face that is considera-
bly, above him, with a continued dignity.
IN take command of the ship" he
sald soothingly; you are only fit for the
sick list"
Across the long and sunken face there
cleaned again an unpleasant smile-a
mere contraction of the features, for the
eyes remained terribly solemn. Then he
looked round the cabin in dreamy way,
and moved toward the base Of the mizzen-
mast.

handed for fortnight" he said II am

Then the officer led him away from the
cabin.

CHAPTER III.

L
From the moment that the ragged
steersman opened his mournful gray eyes
and looked upon the sunburned face Of
Lieut.. Grace he had felt himself insensi.
bly, drawn toward his rescuer. This feel
ing was not the mere sense Of gratitude
which was naturally awakened, but some
thing stronger. 1t was almost a convic-
ton that this chance meeting on the deck
Of a fever-stricken ship was something
more than an incident 1t was a begin
ning-the beginning Of new influence
upon his life.
When Grace laid his sunburned hand
upon the sleeper's shoulder he had felt
pleasantly conscious of a contact which
had further import than mere warm fan
mel and living muscle. 1t was distinctly
sympathetic in its influence, for there Is
meaning in touch. As the two men
emerged on deck the officer turned to-,
ward his companion.
I'm another hour" he said, that small
dog would have been dead"
"Ah. you've saved himY exclaimed the
other.
Yes. He will recover. l know dogs"
Hes had no water since Tuesday"
HE looked rather like it. Come. We
will go on board my ship and report to
the old man, while you get a meal-some
soup l should think will be the best. You
will have to be careful
He led the way aft, toward the rail
where the men, having found rope lad
der, were lowering it over the side. Be-
fore reaching them he turned.

II am the man."
With little nod the young officer con-
tinued his way. They did not speak
again until they we're seated in the gig on
the way toward. the Foam.
Il had a cousin" the officer remarked
then In a cheerfully conversational man
ner, "at Cambridge. He would be a con-
temporary of yours My name is Grace"
The rescued man acknowledged this
neat introduction with grave nod
I remember him WE'LL" he replied. "A
great mathematician"
II believe he was" answered Grace.
He was looking toward his ship, which
was near at hand The crew were group
ed amidships. peering over the RAIL- while

aid of a pair of marine glasses.

continued the young officer in a low tone
of voice requiring no reply.
"A slaver!' inquired Tyars. following
the direction Of his companions eyes.

Growing Black Raspberrics.

The amateur who wishes to try berry
growing will find the black raspberry
good plant to begin with. The rasp-
berry Is in all probability the most
honest of berry growing plants. There
Is no waste, the berries are uniform in
size, and as soon as gathered they are
ready for the table. or for preserving.
plantation of this fruit, once estab.
lished, should last six or eight years.
1t will grow in almost any soil except
Il very stiff clay. or one that is SO
poorly drained that the water stands
on the soil for some time before being
drained away. 1T is Il heavy feeder,
so it's soil must be fortified every year
or two to keep up its maximum pro-
ductiveness.
n northern exposure is best for the
plant, for it suffers from extreme heat,
ana the direct rays of the sun. more
than from extreme cold weather. \
sloping ground is preferred to either
the summit or base of Il hill. The black
raspberry is propagated by burying the
tips OF the canes about August. Sim
