MINISTER'S FOOD
Its value Discovered During Absence
Of Family.

A Fla. minister had an interesting eX-
perience when his family were compelled
TO leave home on account Of the yellow
fever. He says: when we were visited
BY a yellow fever scare, my family left
for an indefinite stay in the interior.
Il had, for about two years, been
under considerable physical and mental
strain and my nervous system seemed to
utterly give way. 1 had some excellent
physicians. but their remedial agencies
failed to reach the case-at best, afford
ing only temporary relief.
At the time the family left, my atten-
ton was called to Grape-Nuts food.
Several things had led me to believe that
my troubles were largely due to i'm
proper nutrition. The absence OF the
family gave me a good opportunity 70
try the new food, for it is perfectly
cooked, and therefore required no work
on my part.
so I began to make two meals a
day. supper and breakfast. on Grape
Nuts and cream or milk. and had
nothing else. / confined myself to the
proper allowance. not overeating The
Improvement was marked, almost from
the first-my digestion was better. sleep

FRUIT TREE LABELS.

The following description of tree
label is the best that we know. There
is no need Of any ink, when marked
with a soft lead pencil it is as DUR
able as can be desired, but you can
not mark on bright zinc. You must
lay the zinc where it will be exposed
to the weather until the surface is
dul1ed somewhat, then if marked, the
name will be 1egible for a lifetime if
kept off the ground The best size
is cut from a sheet of zinc six inches
wide, cutting narrow strips off that
are one inch wide at one end and
taper to point, turning the sheet of
zinc each time so as to alternate and
keep it even.
"Sheet zinc cut into stri ps an inch
wide and four or five inches long

name is written on the zinc with a
soft lead pencil it remains for years

drop to the ground. Some orchard
lists simply wrap the label itself
around one Of the lower limbs where
it will remain and expand as the limb
grows This is good plan and
satisfactory except that owing to the
color of the zinc and the bark of the
limb being so much alike the label is
inconspicuous Another objection is
that it is easily removed by mischiev-

SUCCESSFUL GIRL FARMER.

Women are more and more COM

which men have looked upon as their
own special province and becoming
successful competitors We give you
a specimen in the following account
Of a woman farmer as told by the
Farm Stock Journal:
A correspondent writing from Niles,
Mich, says that on the death several
years ago of her father, Miss Mary
Clark, of Salem, took charge of the
eighty-acre farm. She made a study

ledge she made the ordinary crop

Four years ago she began setting
her plants, and she now has twenty
acres Out to mint, and expects to have
many pounds of oil to market very
soon. She built distillery this
summer, and has four mowers, two

the fields during the harvest season,
and two men in the distillery.

THINNING FRUIT.

Mr.. J. Fl. Hale, the pioneer peach
grower of Georgia, writes to the In
land Farmer, on the subject of thin
ming peaches. But what he says will
apply almost or quite as surely to
any other species of fruit.
"It is the large, fine fruit that
brings the profit; pays the mortgage,
labor fertilizer and cost of every
thing. It leaves the dollar where you
are going to have the fun out of it.
To have high-grade fruit we must
thin Have a thousand peaches and
leave them all on the trees and YOU
may have five half-bushe1 baskets
with 200 in each. You may throw
500 away and still have five baskets
Of peaches. One may have not over
forty-fve Or fifty peaches in it and
yet have it worth $1.5o to So. The
other baskets with 200 in them will
be worth 50 cents. Fine peaches will
bring from ten to sixteen times as
much as little peaches, besides not
weakening the trees.
"You have law that will not allow
you to sell milk which is more than
SO much water. We fruit growers
have the advantage over every other
product; the more we water our stock
the more they will pay us for it, and
the more solids the less they pay us
for it, Peaches that are IS per cent
solids and IS per cent water are
worth 50 cents, but those only 10 per
cent. solids and 90 per cent. water
are worth S. or 81. I say dose them
with water; soak them, and this is
osiest done by thinning and so get
ting large fruit full of water"

oil is then easily separated from the

The yreld hereabouts last year was
from thirty to sixty pounds to the
acre, and forty pounds per acre is con-
sidered good, fair crop. The price
per pound last year was $2.1o, but
growers believe the price will be high
er this year, because heavy frost last
May ruined the crop in many 1oca1i-
ties.
Miss Clark has adopted a system OF
autumn planting, which is contrary
to established rules, and mint growers
watched the experiment with great
interest and prophesied failure, as
frost is popularity supposed to ''heave"
the new set plants above the ground.
But the innovation was success, and
is now heartily Endorsed by farmers,
as the cost Of planting is double in the
spring, it being hard to get hands at
any price to work in muck soil in
the wet season.
The planting is back-breaking work,
SO the runners" that form a lacy
net work under the plants are used
for propagation, and, with overlap
for stems, are laid down in long,
straight rows. Men cover them with
their feet, but Miss Clark has hoe,
and again farmers shook their heads
However, every plant came up in the
spring and grew with rank luxuriance.
They are cultivated by hand, as all
the labor saving devices fail when
it comes to mint farming
Miss Clark employed fifteen women
in the wedding season, paying those
who worked shoulder to shoulder with
/ her ST day and their dinners. How
ever, she says women cannot stand
the hard work in the peppermint field
and she has decided to employ men
for this work hereafter.

long in order to make a loop big
enough to hang loosely on one of the
lower limbs. Then if the ends of the
wire are twisted together with pail

The connection between the label and
the wire must prevent the swinging
and Tapping of the label, but this
may be easily prevented by looping
the zinc on to the wire and c1inch-
ing it down tight with the pliers.
A good ink for writing on the zinc
labels may be made by mixing, in an
earthenware dish, one ounce of YER

an ounce of lamp black, and half
pint of rain water. This ink should
be used with a quill pen upon bright

The tail and wings more than
