That was enough to set In motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of

WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE.
Practically Unobtainable During Period
of Mssouri's History.

However scarce money may be at
times at the present" said an old Mis-
sourian, the oldest inhabitants will
recall when 1t was almost unobtain-
able and other commodities had to be
used as media Of exchange. The
VOLTS scalp was worth dollar be-
cause 1t was a state bounty upon the
death OF wolf, and venison hams
and deer skins also had a purchasing
value. Skins of the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable. When
the first sheriff of Audrain county, in
1887, went to Jefferson City to deliver
the county revenue, he met an old
friend on the way who, needing
money, wanted to borrow the actual
coin part of the county's revenue. The
good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and
went on to the capital and delivered
only the scalps. BY the time of the
next settlement the loan was repaid
and the sheriff made his next settle

The Peaceful Cow.

She was even more afraid of cows
than most girls, so when she spied a
placid animal recumbent under a.
tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she
at first refused to go through the pas
ture at all. Her husband calmed her
fears to some extent, and they started
by, when the COW slowly commenced
to get up, hind legs first. as they al
ways do. At this the little lady
shrieked with terror, and said:
"Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting
ready to spring at us!"-Harper's
Magazine.

Martins Revenge.

a correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window OF farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however. before
they arrived. a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
The house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession OF
their house.-Country Life.

BARRELiNG APPLES.
System Is the Secret of Successful
Marketing of Crops.

A Good barrel is essential if you
wish to store your fruit, have it keep
well and sell we'll A tight barrel is
the best, and the better it is made the
better results you will have There
viii be smaller loss from shrinkage Of
fruit from rats and mice and other
causes.
In my orchard, writes a correspond
ent of Orange Judd Farmer. I have
eight pickors and six sorters and bar
relers in each gang. A strong sort
ing table, constructed of light, strong
material is provided This table is
set in the center OF 1G trees. Some
times, if fruit is scarce and trees are
small. in the center of "a or 36 trees.
-Four or six rows are carried forward
at once and the table is moved along
the center rows and set in the middle
Of the square at each move.
One man usually nails the hoops,
the headliners, and takes ont the
heads of the barrels, preparing them
for filling. 1t is quite important to
have headliners, as it prevents loss
in shipping and facilitates in the ex-
animation and inspection OF fruit in
storage. This man usually heads up
the barrels when filled.
A second man does the facing, and
a third, who should be a good apple

ties the baskets and assists in the
sorting. He inspects the fruit as

leaves three men who do nothing but
stand at the table and sort. If the
pickers are not able to keep the table
supplied, a man from the table is put
into the trees to pick.

STORING CELERY.
Suggestions by Prof. w. r. Beattie Of
, U. S. Department Of Agriculture.

Almost without exception the larger
northern growers have found it un-
profitable to store celery for late
keeping, and those who still adhere
to the practice do so in order that
they may control and supply a spe-
cial trade. Even under special cir
cumstances there is only a moderate
profit in storing for late marketing.
The best form OF storage house is
a broad and long structure with low
side walls and a roof coming almost
to the ground at the caves. The walls
should be constructed of concrete or
brick and the roof made very tight
to keep out frost The roof portion
should also be ceiled to form a double
construction with air space between.
Large doors should be provided at
both ends, and if so arranged that
team of horses can be driven through.
the work of unloading the celery will
be greatly facilitated
The earth floor of the storage house
should have a covering consisting OF
four or five inches of loose soil in
which to pack the roots of the celery.
1t is desirable to have the storehouse
divided lensthwise into beds six or
eight feet wide by six inch boards on
edge, raised three or four inches from
the soil and fastened to stakes. These
lines of raised boards assist in holding
the celery in an upright position and
increase the circulation of air
through it,

TO PRETENDERS.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just a word to you, "Collier's" and
other glaring examples OF Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which it is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
days act from motives of old fashion
ed honesty.
There are honest makers Of foods
and healthful beverages and there are
honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be
Of kind to understand it.
Some of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not taint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to us absolutely
without solicitation. We have a great
many thousand from people who have
been helped or entirely healed by fol
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes a change in the cells
Of the body. Your knowledge, or lack
of knowledge, makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses Will produce and sell them as
best you can, but such acts and your
learned editorials are but CONNER
cial, and seek only dollars" and much
by pretence.

values you become only ridiculous.
