Emit from Seed.

1t is doubtful if there is any kind Of
fruit that will ONE strictly true to va
riety when grown from seed, as there
is a tendency to deviate from the orig
inal. One may secure something supe-
rior or the fruit may revert back to
some undesirable Kind. 1t Is a slow
and uncertain process. Chestnuts may
be grated when / year Old. The nuts
are usually placed in the ground in
rows, 6 inches deep, early in the spring
or late in the fall. killing over them if
in the fall, and uncovering in the
spring. They are very unreliable in
terminating and prefer a sandy loan.
The European varieties are larger than
the native. The native chestnuts vary
greatly, no two trees producing nuts
exactly alike in size, flavor, etc. The
foreign varieties are grated on the
American stocks. Trees grown from
American nuts can not be depended
upon for quality of product.

All growers of ~blackberries and rasp-
berries know that of the most dis
agreeable jobs of the season is the cut
ting out of the old canes on the plants
OF these fields. The easiest way of do
ing this work is to use a sharp tool of
some kind so arranged that the operat-
or may stand upright and work. The
tool illustrated may be readily made by
any handy man, and will do the work
required quite as e~ffectually as a more
expensive tool.
Take the handle from a worn-out
shovel or fork and have the black
smith attach to it the end of an old
scythe blade or, if n has no blade Of
this kind, the blacksmith can fashion
one from old scraps that he may have
at small expense. Have this blade fas-

stubbIc Fie1d..

Fields that are left to stubble, or
that are covered with weeds, cannot
now be benefited by cultivation, where
the seeds of the weeds have already
been scattered, but as soon as the frost
does its work and the weeds are dry,
rake over the fields with n horse rake
and burn all the refuse. Dead weeds
form h~arboring places for field mice
and insects, and during windy days,
after the weeds are thoroughly dry,
they are blown TO other fields. BY
burning all refuse, there will be fewer
weed seeds turned under next spring.

How to Save steps.

In spite Of the extensive development
and use Of corn harvesting machinery
the fact remains that much corn is
still cut by hand. Therefore the ac-
companying sketch recently sent to the

will prove of interest.
He has figured out that II the plan
outlined is followed a siXty-four hill

a minimum number of steps. The cir

hills tied together or between which
the shock is built. After the founda-

Brother Against Brother.

A man named &c lived in Missouri
about fifty miles from the Kansas Dor

South, had settled in Southwestern
Missouri. When the war broke out his
two brothers avowea disloyalty to the
government. Joined the secession army,
and they urged him to do so too. But
he was true to his allegiance to the
Union and its starry ensign. Hesitating,
and with the ties of kindred to distract
him, he remained a passive witness of
events until all the man that was in
him at length induced him to take his
place in the great struggle. A few days
after a younger brother rode up to his
house. At the time he was out Of his

ball lodged in the breast of the elder
brother, who staggered and fell with
the violence or suddenness of the

for a moment, with superhuman energy,
he got upon his knees, and selling his

When a healthy man or woman

William Lane, living at south OF
Baker City, Ore, says: The use CT
one box of Doans Kidney Pills pro-
cured was sufficient to convince me
that there is nothing to equal this
remedy for curing backache and kid
ney complaint. Heavy work, lifting
lumber all day long, and exposure to
bad weather, seemed to a1ect my
kidneys so that my back was sore
and I could not rest well at night,
feeling tired out and lame in the
morning. Every cold l took settled
on my kidneys and made my condi-

to try Doan's Kidney Pills, found
relief in a short time, and soon was
rid of the Iameness and backache."
