he threatened to carve his wife. After
the contesting forces settled down in the
legal sanctum of the 'Squire's Office, Mrs
Davis startled those present by stating
that her husband had made no such
threats against her whatever, and there
was no justification for his arrest. The
justice found that the defendant had been
married under the name of VIM. Young,
and that he had also travelled under the
alias of George Jackson. On the ground

most any climate where the cabbage
and caulnower thrive. They are
grown in small way by some of the
market gardeners around Boston, but
great many Long Island sprouts find
their way into this market. Orient,
y. Y. seems especially adapted to
raising the seed. and this seed is eager
~ sought for by the farmers on Long
Island This seed sells at - cents to
S. per ounce.
Our method OF culture is as follows:
We SOW the seed in drill. the same as
for cabbage about June H. When
plants are large enough to transplant,
we pull them and plunge the roots In
water. pack in crates and take to the
field. If it IS very dry spell. we use
transplantlng machines. If the wealth
or is favorable. we use dihbers. setting
the plants eighteen inches in the row,
with rows three feet apart. The land
must be In a good state OF cultivation.
as sprouts are gross feeders. Use
plenty of fertilizer. Thorough cultiva.
ton is one of the great secrets of sue
cess to this crop and Will apply to any
other crop After the crop has ma
tured we cut the plants off Just above
the ground with corn hoe haul them
to some convenient place near the
packing house and stack them In wind
rows about n rod wide and any desired
length These windows are then coy
cred with some kind of litter Ia protect
from wind ana cold. Then begins the
winters work Of picking Sprouts nre
now shipped in quart cups the same
ms stra Wherrirs. thirty-tWo. forty-eight
and sixty quart crates being used to
ship them in. They are picked by the
quart pickPrs receiving cents per
quart This is done by cutting the
sprout from the stump with small.
sharp knife and all the outer leaves
trimmed Off, leaving a miniature cab
bage which Is tender and delicious.
The yield varies according TO condi-
tons On highly cultivated land 1000
quarts is often gathered. and from that
down to 1000 Is considered n protita-

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman In a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who negleets the care of her health
Mt this time invites disease and pain
When her system is in a deranged
SJTiiiition ur she is predisposed TO
apoplexY or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this peri d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. AT this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.

Experience With Manure sprssdsr.

My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method Of applying manure to land IL
far In advance Of the old practice, says
a writer in Farm and Firesde. In ap-
plying manure with the spreader 1t Is
put on uniformly. and all parts Of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure WAS dumped In piles. II FIRE
quertly happened that the work of
spreading WAS postponed for some
time and the result was that much Of
the fertilizlng value of the manure
leaehed out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader ne
only saves The plant food elements of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work is all done Mt one
time. 1t does two very important
things aud does them well 1t thor
oughly fines the manure and distrib-
utes II evenly.

one who has any idea of appreciation
OF such things.

STAN, members of the legislature, state,

strangers who were there were duly
impressed with the opportunities for
investment in this great and growing
state. The exhibition will be made a
permanent one, with the chamber
open every evening, for inspection by
visitors, The representation OF the
great natural bridge in southern Utah
was an object OF special commenda-
uon. and prominent space Is given

and a grandmother's spinning wheel
of the olden time.
