A 1Oo-Bushel Fruit Evaporation.

advantage and with profit, but the
greatest demand is for apples.
A small evaporator can be used to
advantage and profit on every farm,
even if it is only to dry the supply of
fruits and vegetables for family use.
Evaporators with a capacity of six
to ten bushels per day will take care
Of the No. 2 surplus fruit on most
farms. The expense of operating is
not large and there is usually good
return. Apples will usually dry out
from six to eight pounds to the bush
ell, depending on the variety, state of
maturity, quality Of the fruit and the
care used in pairing.
The evaporation shown in the cut is
owned by George T. Powell, a we'll
known New York fruit grower, says
the Farm and Home. 1t has a capac-
ity of 100 bushels per day and cost
complete somewhat less than $1,000
He averages $50 pounds evaporated
apples from 100 bushels of green
stock, and 200 pounds of skins and
cores. There are two kilns, the ap.
pies being spread out upon the floor
and occasionally turned. 1t requires
two boys to run the pairing machines,
six women to trip, one man who looks
after the fires, the sulphuring and the
slicing, and another man works from
noon to midnight tending the fires.
1t takes three tons of coal per week to
run the evaporator

STUMPS IN SOFT GROUND.
How They May Be Removed at Small
Expense.

Moving two years ago to a farm
that had been hewed out of the woods,
[ had my first experience with
stumps. l found the common custom
here was to let the stumps remain in
the land till they rotted or were
plowed out, says a Southern Illinois
correspondent of the Orange Judd
Farmer. The small ones were usually
plowed out in from five to ten or II
years. The big fellows were still in
many fields, where they had stood
anywhere from % to 40 years. Plow-
ing among stumps one year was all
the experience wanted in that line.
The first fall and last spring / had
two men follow the plow, with good
spade and sharp AK. When small
stump, snag or post oak runner was
struck by the pillow they would dig
down by the obstruction just low
enough to cut it off below the pillow
line In this way 1 got rid of the
small stumps in eight or ten acres at
cost of s1.25 per acre.
How to get out the big fellows that
were dead but firm in the ground
without an immense amount of dig
ging, stump puller or dynamite was
puzzler. Last spring after the frost
was out of the ground and before the
soil had settled, / discovered that sew
eral of these big stumps were quite
loose. AS soon as the ground was
settled, they were as firm as during
the first summer I was acquainted
with them.
l decided that this spring I would
see what could be done when things
were just right. Late in January We
had a thawing rain that took every
particle of frost out of the ground
and left it so soft and wet that it
would mire team to pull load, even
ON our sod land. / considered this our
opportunity to tackle those stumps,
even though 1 could not use the team
10 pull them out.
Two of us with tile spade, good
steel bar, 2X4 dry oak pry nine feet
long and a block SKIS inches and Is
long, went at it. 1t was so wet it was
rather nasty job, but it was a very
successful one. We did not tackle a
single dead stump, either sound or
rotten, that we did not get out, roots
and all. Some of the prongs We're as
hard as bone. After we had turned
them out, a comparatively few blows
with sharp AK would cut through the
locks on the under side of the stumps,
then they were readily split into quar-
ters, eighths, or smaller pieces and
could be loaded on wagon, when we
could drive upon the land. We got
them out at the rate Of about four an
hour

THE CUCUMBER LOUISE.
Pes. That Nips the Blossoms and How
to Fight II.

Almost every one who has had any
experience in growing cucumbers is
familiar with this little insect; for
wherever cucumbers are grown his
presence is made conspicuous by the
blossoms falling from the vines.
Whenever we see the blossoms fading,
we can rest assured that this pernici-
Gus bug is getting in his work.
l have found from long years of ex-
perience that the insects are more
numerous during dry weather than at
any other time. The cucumber louise
is aided in his work of destruction by
small species of ant that seems to
harbor in clusters in the small crew
ices OF the bloom. Almost every form
OF solution and composition has been
tried for the purpose of exterminating
this destructive insect, which has
wrought so much harm to all vine
plants. Lime has been used by a
number of the commercial growers,
but without any apparent success.
Spraying has been practiced to great
extent, but many report an utter fail
ure.
There Is nothing which | have tried
which has proved so successful in de-
stroying insects as wood ashes, says
the correspondent of Country Gentle
man. One application of wood ashes
slightly moistened with kerosene has
done more for me in the way of ex.
terminating bugs and insects than all
other compounds combined. l save all
the ashes through the winter, storing
them in some dry place. This is very
essential, for should they once become
water soaked, they will lose much OF
their value as an exterminator. When
l am ready to apply the ashes to the
plants, l 'dampen them slightly with
kerosene, just sufficient to moisten.
then shake small handful around the
stem of each plant and sprinkle on
the leaves. One must exercise care
not to use a large quantity of kero
sene, for when applied it would be in
furious TO the blossoms and leaves.

The TranspIanter.

load to the planting ground, and make
your hole with the same transplanter,
and drop your plant in, on a dry hot
August day, and you will not find a
wilt.
For practical work in a one-family
garden I have six rows about rs feet
long, renewing two rows each year in
August. Plants are set about IS inches
apart with transplanter; second year
allowed to make a matted row, third
year after bearing dig up and replant.
Lawn clippings are put between rows,
and after bearing it is forked in. My
bed migrates east or west, two rows
each year, and you will see by the
above plan I always have plants one,
two and three years old.

Percival to seat her at his side, and

that simple ways of life are requisite
to the needed measure of spirituality.
Then came strains of music from the

group sauntered toward the music
room.
The music flooded the hall and the
room, so that the talk died low.

Akemit. How splendid! He seems
to be breathing a paean Of triumph,
some high, exalted spiritual triumph,
as if his soul had risen above us
how precious!"
When the deep swell had subsidized
to silvery ripples and the last cadence
had tainted, she looked at Percival
with moistened parted lips and eyes
half-shielded, as if her full gaze would
betray too much of her quivering soul.
Then PerCival heard the turquoised
brunette say: What a pity his wife
is such an unsympathetic creature!"
But Mr.. Ristine is unmarried, is he
not?" he asked, quickly.
There was a little laugh from Mrs.
Drelmer.
'Not yet-not that I've heard Of"
II beg pardon!"
There have been rumors lots Of
times that he was going to be unmar-
ried, but they always seem to adjust
their little difficulties. He and his wife
are staying over at the Bloynes."

Some people came from the music
room.
Miss Milbrey has stayed by the Or

The music came again.

ecstasy, "'he's playing that heavenly
stuff from the second act of Tristan

Atmospheric Poisoning.

The protests against the automo
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world, and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noXious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition Of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases. and, worst of all,
the asphyXiating carbonic oxide.

ence can improve motors, he declares

Shading Summer Head Lettuce.

When the plants begin to make
good growth, mulch the ground
among them with strawy manure.
Then place a frame over the bed to
protect the plants from the hot sun.
Make the frame of lath nailed to solid
strips at each end, leaving an inch
space between laths. Drive stakes at
the corners of the bed and rest the
frame on them, having it 10 to Is
inches above ground. This shades
them considerably and with the help
of the mulch a good crop of crisp SOL
