full by Cleaning Up Everything and
Every Place.
Bucyrus, o., has started cleaning up
campaign, and the following excellent
methods that have been suggested for
identifying the town may we'll be
adopted by other places:
"Clean up" is the watchword.
Health demands it, appearance re-
quires It and good sense points the
way, says the Bucyrus Evening Tele-
graph.
In some localities "clean up" day is
popular.
In some localities one day proves M
sufficient
Clean up everybody, everything and
every place.
There is lot of useless stuff that &C
cumulates throughout the year. Spring
Is the time to get it all out Of way and
get that sweet clean smell and the
appearance which means much to
health and happiness.
The doctors suggest a Spring tonic"
to get the blood in proper circulation
and the brain to doing it's proper work.
Get the sluggish feeling out Of your
veins and muscles and get free,
healthy action of every organ.
That is a good thing for the human
system, but it is good thing for the
community as a municipality.
The street force is already at this
good work.
Many householders have taken it up
and will pursue it to finish.
Others should start without delay.
Clean the back yards and alleys. Get |
the accumulated worthless material on |
a big pile where the garbage man can
get it.
Help the street force as much as
possible in this good work.
If you can take advantage of the
first fine day to do it the benefit will
be all the greater. J
If one day proves insufficient, take
two days or three days.
A good example is a help to the en-
tire neighborhood.
Start right and keep right, and your
will take on the same
enthusiasm.
Bucyrus, o., is a city Of wide reputa-
ton for beauty and the advanced ideas
Of her citizens.
Bucyrus has fine lawns and fine
shade trees and beautiful homes. We
want to strengthen that reputation.
We are told there are some men idle
n Bucyrus. They will be glad to
work. because this is the pleasant kind
# work. They say some days the bust
less man has leisure which he could
levote to cleaning up his premises.
That sort of work will make his home
ook better. make himself feel better
nd do the town good
The business men are all working
or the good Of the town.
They all want the place to have the
est possible reputation.
The great majority of our citizens
re anxious for this same thing.
For the business man it helps bust
ess; for the average householder it
clips enjoyment.
For all it stimulates personal and
lvic pride.
Don't wait for your neighbor to start; Z
erhaps he can't give it the attention \
lie same day you take up the work
Ourself. p
Every one who starts gets so much a
Ore Of the benefit. II
Many have started already Others r
Ill start soon.
All should get busy and make the Z
wn healthier happier and enough U
ght more beautiful. u
This is the season when a little work d
'unts great deal. s

A Special Fruit Trader.

Horticultural products have always
been noted for their purity. Many
careful growers of fruit have worked
up a special fruit trade by shipping
high class fruit under their own brand
and name. In years when climatic and
other conditions render the quality OF
fruit lower than the grade they are ac-
customed to ship under their named
brands the fruit is forwarded unbrand-
ed. A neat, attractive brand or label
G.. well packed fruit soon becomes
known and asked for on the market.

SPRAYING METHODS.

How the Business Is Conducted In a
Large Way.
Ordinarily we find crude oil emul-
sion prepared by putting thirty or for
ty gallons Of water in a spraying tank;
then put in twelve or fifteen pounds Of
whale oil or other soap and boil until
the soap is dissolved; then pump fifty
gallons of oil into the tank, keeping the
steam turned in all the time; then fill
the tank to 200 gallons, keeping the
agitation going all the time We use
this emulsion one year and If not COM
paratively free from scale follow the
second year with sulphur and lime.
We removed the upper story from our
thirty-yearold apple orchard, and now
find comparatively little difficulty in
reaching the tops of the trees with the
spray, standing on an elevated plat
form on the wagon.
Sulphur and Lime.
We use sulphur and lime on our
peaches, pears and most varieties Of
plums and prunes. In our various
orchards we have three, eight or ten
horsepower boilers with elevated vats
for cooking the sulphur and lime and
the emulsion and use four power and
two hand sprayers. With these mod
ern means of applying the remedies, is
it not surprising that hundreds and
thousands of acres Of apple orchards
in western New York and Canada be-
tween Hamilton and the Niagara river |
are being abandoned? In many dis
tricts you have scarcely enough APP
pies to supply home demand and can
ming factories, let alone any for ex-
port. There have always been great
fears among small fruit growers that !
soon there would be an overproduction
and no remunerative market, as in 1896.
This San Jose scale should allay all
fears on that score. These untreated
scaly orchards are fit for the brush
pile in from two to five years, said
Willard Hoskins in a paper read be-
fore the Ontario Fruit Growers asso-
citation.

A NEW STRAWBERRY.
A First Prize Winner of Unsurpassed
Quality and Size.

Quality and OIze.
The Norwood strawberry was man,
ed and given the first prize by the
Massachusetts horticultural society at
the exhibition this year. This straw
berry is supposed to be a cross be-
tween the Marshall and Corsica, as it
came up where the Marshall had been
grown and near where the Corsica
was grown at the same time.
I believe the Norwood is considered
the best all round strawberry in ex-
istence. The plant is strong and
healthy, making a liberal number Of
strong runners, but not excessive. The

merely enter as guests, and owing to the

Formerly the Gutlries were an army

In speaking Of the service families Of
the South Il is interesting 20 observe that
no sooner was the civil war over than the
names which had dropped of the lists for
a time appeared again as OF old. The
Lees. of Virginia. as every one knows.
have been an army family from Rev0lu-
tlOnary days. beginning with Light Horse
Harry. A direct representative of the
family in the army to-day is FItZ Hugh

Cravens on Honor Roll.
The two officers Of the navy who carry
on in the service the honored name OF
Craven are Commander John z. and
Lieut.. Thomas T. Besides representing
their own name in the service. the Cra-
vens represent that curious old-time
Commodore Thomas Tunis Macdonough,
the victor of Lake Champlain. and Capt
Thomas Tingey, a famous fighter of the
Revolution. who also distinguished him
self In the naval war with France.
Through marriage also the Cravens rep
resent the name Of Truxton. a name
which has but recently disappeared from
the roll OF officers. The Truxtons came
in with the navy itself. and It seems
strange not 70 see the name in the regis
ter. Probably the best known Truxton
was Commodore Thomas. who. with the
Constellation, won such famous victories
over the French in the West Indies. Ad-
miral William Truxton distinguished him
self during the civil war. and before on
many expeditions and little wars with
the heathen." There Is a torpedo boat
named Truxton to keep the name still
alive. at least on the records. The Cra-
vens, the Tingeys, the TruXtons. the
Houstons. the Beales, have all intermar-
ried. being navy families Of the first
chop" The Beales are now represented
in the service by Grafton A. Beale, a
young ensign. Truxton Beale, former
Minister to Greece, IS well known in
