Better Tran Grating Wax.

When a large limb is cut from a
tree the wound should be covered
with something which will keep the
wood from decaying until the wound
is covered with new bark. Grating
wax or shellac dissolved in al
coho1, is usually recommended. A
correspondent Of the California Cul-
tivator claims that he has found
something which is much better. The
following is the description of this
method:
Of course, the grating wax made
Of one pound of linseed oil, two
pounds of beeswax and eight pounds
Of resin can hardly be excelled for

we discarded years ago as Intellectual
and expensive. Coal tar fresh from
the gas works, warmed and put on
with a brush, is second in our estima-
tiOn to the mixture which we now
use with great satisfaction.
1t is simplicity: Melt resin in one
vessel and warm a little crude pc

though the citrus fruits are from out

booklet he hands out is full Of de-
scriptive matter and illustrations of
scenes along the line of the road and
he is doing for Florida's central and
western districts what the East Coast
Railway did for its section at the st.

only represented, as far as | could see
or find out, by small case OF silk

Fine Profits of Florida Farmers.

Everybody is congratulating Waldo
Martin and his father, Col. John Mar

their efforts at trucking this season.
Ben Raysor says that Waldo must
have bank account of $4,000 from
this seasons planting. He knows Mr..
Martin shipped II cars of beans,
and beans brought good price. He
forwarded twenty-five cars of canta-
loupes. The first four he sold for
5000 car and has shipped at least
twenty-five cars Of watermelons Put

On our way to the Food Product
building, we pass one Of the numerous
restaurants that "adorn' the grounds
and | recall by first experience in it
and decide to go further before the
noon-day lunch is indulged in. The
sign over the door was The Young
Women's Christian Association Res
taurant. 1t was in the early morning
when | went in for a cup Of coffee
and a plate of cakes. [ got them
There were three, about four inches
in diameter and as thin and diaphan-
Gus as the peek-a-boo shirt-waist the
ancient maiden who served them,

as she planked plate, cup and saucer
on the fly covered table. Had [ called
for a glass Of water it probably would
have been ten cents more. And there
are excellent restaurants elsewhere on
the grounds where a cup of good
coffee can be had for five cents and at
the Old Corn Mill near the Inside Inn
(where they turn your pocket book
inside Out) they gave me a second
plate of cakes for ten cents and no
extra charge, so it seems to me that
the Y. w. C. A., should change
one of the words i'll it's title; but
when I suggested it to some Of those

culture, | was told the initials just suit

my readers as may go up in Septem-

but they do not apply, as far as my
personal experience goes, to Norfolk,
where excellent rooms can be had at
so, IS cents or $I.oo per day, and good
meals for from 25 to so cents. But
within the grounds, as regards meals,
it is different.
A hasty walk through the Food
Products building showed the ven
ders and exploiters of the multitude
nous "breakfast foods busy in calling
attention to the excellence of this or
that brand Of wheat, corn, oat flakes,
offering a teaspoonful for those who
wished to taste; the interior Of the
Big Tea Pot was full Of women and
the young lady attendant was kept
busy handing out-without charge
a glass Of Heno iced tea to them,

OUT OF THE BLUE CUP.
School of the State Exhibits The Jamestown
Exposition and Other Timely Topics.
By W. E. PABOR. No. 7.

1t was o5 degrees at p. M, in the
balcony overlooking the ground area
of the States Exhibit building. For
three days it had reached that point
and my familiar, perched on the rim
of the Blue Cup, looked as if the cool
er atmosphere Of the piney woods Of
Florida would be a welcome change.
The cold storage apples had about all
been sampled, the bottle of Virginia
Daro was empty, the limit time of
the return ticket was close at hand
and the unspoken query of the Genie
of the ink-horn found response, if
not a responsive echo, in my some
what languOrous mood Of mind. So,
that the Blue Cup might be filled once
more and emptied for the benefit
(perhaps) of the Agriculturist readers,
a final look around was decided upon
and then-Southward no! we three
would go, to where the Southland
waters flow, you know.
First, walk along the Willoughby
Boulevard the fresh wind blowing
over the waters of Hampton Roads
and cooling the brow. The various
state buildings looked as if deserted
and pondering the query once in
scribed as an epitaph on the toOnnb-
stone of an infant-"If so soon I was
to be done for, | wonder what [ was
begun for?" Except for occasional
special days but few visitors enter
these doors; had part of the money
spent in their construction been used
to gather together the products Of the
state they represented, there would
have been some positive and ever
present attraction for visitors. But it
seems to be the usual exposition GUS
tom and as ornamental features they
are quite success.

Out at anchor there are but few Of

The Children's Garden has changed
wonderfully in the two or three weeks
that have elapsed since I wrote about
it. Kindly Nature is smiling (and
weeping. as welD upon the work of
the children of the three public
schools who, while competing for
prizes are learning lessons of such
practical value as comes from close
contact with Natures environments.

this writing no premium list has been

And writing about tea it may be
said that while American grown tea
may not be equal i'll quality to that
grown in foreign parts, yet to those
who prefer black to the green or the
blend of both the tea grown in South
Carolina can be recommended In the
booth conducted by Wilbur Mccoy,
of the Atlantic Coast Line, there is
a case Of tea grown by company at
a town called Tea, and in the South
Carolina section that grown by the
Pinehurst Tea Gardens Co., at Sum-
mervile, S. c., is exhibited [ have
tasted both and, while the brewing
could not be expected to be as delicate
and perfect as when made at home,
by reason of the longer sleeping when
served out continuously, still the
proof was in evidence that a good
quality of commercial tea could be
grown; and, if in South Carolina, why
not in Florida and the other Gulf
states?
I am advised that the Pinehurst Tea
Garden Co. prepare for commercial
purposes three kinds of tea; a black
whose liquor, Of decided strength, has
an agreeable flavor and taste, color a
cherry red; green, said to be Of great
stimulating force, free from astrin-
gency, fragrant and Of a yellowish
green color: an American breakfast
tea, very delicate and yet Of high
stimulating character They also
manufacture a Tea-tablet, one to a
cup that would seem to be an ex-
cellent thing to have-not in the
hOuse-but in the lunch box Of the
tourist and sportsman.
The avenues and winding ways Of
the extensive grounds are now be-
ginning to be attractive Early in the
season the dead monotony of sand
and mud left a distinctly unpleasant
feeling in the mind of those who
came to see the show. But time and
labor, the skill of the landscape gar
dener and the products of nurserymen
and florists have changed the face of
things and shrubbe1y and flowers are
making strOlls over the grounds a
delight where once they were disap
pointment. But Nature seldom yields
to force out Of season in outdoor
culture, while more than meeting half
way the efforts of her lovers at the
proper time and season. The fori-
cultural feature Of the Exposition
grounds from now on until frost
comes, will be not the least attractive
one to visitors.
If ever there was, or is, a right man
in the right place, it is Wilbur Mccoy
of the Land Department Of the At
lantic Coast Railway, as he shows his
numerous visitors through the section
devoted to exploiting the advantages
Of the sections Of states traversed by
the railway he represents. Florida,

SHERMAN,
MRS ALMIRA wANZER VAIL.


 The family and friends of Mrs AL mira Wanzer Vail were called upon to mourn her loss on Wednesday morn-' ing, April 3, at 50 a. m. She had been i'll nearly all winter but had improved m appetite and strength and hopes were entertained for her recovery, when that dread disease, pneumonia, attacked her and she lived only five days. She was conscious until nearly the last, her last word being "cOm- 1ortable," in answer to an inquiry. She passed away without struggle, awakening in this world. The pre- v1ous evening she had expressed wish to be alone, that she might rest and sleep, "ASleep in the arms of Jesus." She was woman of unimpeachable character, unswerving integrity and Chr1st's teachings. He was her com forter in hours of sorrow and afflic- tion; her daily guiding star through the dark journey of life and the sup port of her declining years. Her Sab baths were spent in the perusal of His words. Her motto was, Help for the living, Hope for the dead.'' She was also generous to fault and, had her means equalled her will, many bur den would have been lifted and many sorrowing heart gladdened. AS it was her mite found it's way into many homes. Her early life was spent in the town of Sherman, where She was born and where she resided until quite la ate in life, she married J. M. Vail of Monticello, N. Y., and removed there where her only two children, (twins) Belle and Adelle, were born, and where she resided until 1904, when the fam fly removed to Sherman, where they were living at the time of Mrs Vail $ death. One of the daughters, Mrs O. M. Hans, died five years ago, leaving three children, Frank, Alma and Viii liam, to whom the grandmother de- voted the last years of her life and who survive her, together with her daughter, Belle, and her aged husband. Also two Step-children, Louis Vail and Fannie Youngs of Orange Co.,, N. Y. She made many friends by her self sacrificing disposition and had reached | the good old age of 79 years, when life's shadows were lengthening in the w est. Mrs Vail was the daughter of Jarvis and Samantha Wanzer. She was the youngest of family of seven children, only one Of whom survives, Mrs Electa Barnum of Sherman, Conn. The oth- CTS were Mrs George Briggs of Sher- man; Mrs Husted Briggs of Kent, lat CT of New Milford; Mrs Gershom Bar low Of Sherman; Hiram WanZer of sherman, and a sister who died in in- | fancy, besides three half brothers, Harrison. David and AlonZo Dean. The funeral was held from her late home in sherman on Saturday, April 6, at o'clock, Rev J. Fl. Davis officiat- ing. The interment was at Sherman Center. Nelson Hungerford was fu- neral director.
