The Farm Orchard.

The first thing one should do is to
locate properly, considering site, soil
and market. The nearer to a market
or to two markets the better of one
is.
First, consider site or the lay Of the
land, shall it be sloping or level, or
low land or high? Generally, rolling
or sloping land, since it has better
natural drainage, for soil saturated
with moisture will not grow fruit;
trees will not stand wet feet. Two
weeks ago | was in an orchard that
was sloping, but rocks were near the
surface and they made little plates
or saucers. The trees were often set
in these pockets, and would go into
the winter with the roots saturated
with moisture which caused them to
winter kill; so sloping land is not
always we'll drained.
If the land is high 1t is apt to be
well drained or well aired. When
you don't get good circulation of
air there is apt to be trouble. On
hillsides you get a natural air drain
age. On low land cold air settles.
For sanitary reasons, trees should be
planted on rolling or sloping land.
The apple will grow most anywhere,
but has its preference. Strong, clayey
loan or gravelly clay loan is ideal
for good, strong wood growth which
1t will give fruit The clayey soil
that will crack open in dry weather
is not good Brakes, moss and lichens
indicate acidity, but although the
land may be put in good condition,
you are better off If it is naturally so.

Buying Secondhand Tools.

Having in my youth worked at the
bench for twelve months with an old
tool-buyer, and learned the art with
him, | mostly buy all my tools sec
ond-hand, and save about sixty per
cent. thereby, and tools run into
money. The following hints from my
experience may help others: In buy
ing secondhand tools, go round the
pawnshops and secondhand places
deVoted TO such. Know what tools
you want, their proper brands, and
their present price, new, in Sydney.
Look round each shop as you go in;
If the articles you want are not read
lily procurable, do not waste time
stopping. If they are not, and you
see a tool you may want, good and
cheap, snap it at once: it will be gone
when you want it.-R. Kaleski, in
the American Cultivator.

Don't Work by Poor Light,

1t is great mistake to sew, read
or do other close work by artificial
light which comes from any distance
much above the level of the eye. Use
a kerosene or gas lamp, which can
be placed at the proper height.
To demonstrate the truth of this
observation, one has only to sit in
doors in the daytime and let the light
pour through the upper foot or two
of the window, keeping the rest OF
the window securely lightproof. The
eyes will soon tell you of the unwise
strain.-Indanapo News.

The Best Paying Horses.

When prices for all classes of
horses are SO high, it seems as though
there would be manifested a greater
interest in colt raising. We find
plenty of men who are devoting a
good deal of attention to the cows,
the sheep and the hogs, but few COM
paratively are studying and learning
the best methods of breeding and

Labor On the Land.

1t is no good saying airily that the
tilling of the fields comes naturally
to all men. 1t certainly does not
come natural to half the unemployed
men to be met with in large cities,
eyen when these men have a sincere
desire to get work. For agricultural
labor requires large measure of
training and skill, just as other spe-
cialized work does.-Shefield Tele-

French Chalk.

If a girl is away from a cleaners
and she finds one of her best frocks
spotted with grease, she can try the
simple remedy of French chalk and a
hot iron. The chalk is spread thick
ly over the spot until all the grease
is absorbed.
Then piece of blotting paper is
put over it, and warm, not hot,
iron is held over it to draw the grease
into the paper. Rub off the chalk
with a soft silk or muslin rag and
the spot will probably have disap-
peared New York World.

Food For Fowls.

Utl cake or ground fax seed is a
very good food for growing fowls
and laying hens, especially during
moulting. 1t is one of the richest
foods we have in bone and feather
forming material, but it is too rich
to be given alone and should not con-
stitute more than ten per cent. of
the ration for fowls.-Farmer's Home

GROUP QUICKLY CURED.
Don't Let the Child Choke to Death
 While Waiting for the Doctor.

Group shall have prompt treatment The life of many dear one has been sacrificed because the right remedy was not at hand
 Pay close attention to the child who is feverish. thirsty and occasionally coughs dryly and shrilly. This is the first stage of croup, and instant treat ment should be given.
 Hyomei, the miraculous, antiseptic dry air treatment, will cure croup in either the first or second stages. Eas- fly inhaled, even when the breathing is irregular, it reaches more promptly than any other remedy the terribly inflamed membrane of the windpipe Its soothing balsams act immediately the inflammation is allayed, and the swelling reduced.
 Not long ago our little boy, Wal ter. awoke in the night with a bad attack of croup, so that he expe- rienced great difficulty in breathing We allowed him to inhale Hyomei and he immediately began to breathe easier, and in half an hour was fast asleep. Our children, being subject to croup, We feel safe with HyOmei in the house. and I am glad to speak a good word for a remedy that will rob croup of its terrors. ."-Rev. Geo Sisson. pastor of NJ. F.. Church, South Londonderry, Vt.

 One-third of the value of the beet sugar made this year would be enough to pay all the cost of the department of agriculture during the current fiscal year and the national expense of the sixty experiment stations of contigu- ous United States, when they shall have received the ultimate appropria- tiOn of the Adams act.

 It was not till 1888 that the beet sugar industry in the United States had advanced beyond experiment or been given prominence, consequently the results shown above are really re- markable. From 1879 to 1887 only about 5G0 short tons were made year ly; in 1891 the quantity was 5000 tons; in 1892, 13,46O tons; in 1893, 22.344 tons; in 1897, 45,246 tons; in 1899, ST. 729 tons. and from 1901 to 1907, as above stated.

It~was shortly before the taking uo of the morning session of school when Elmer. who had already made several vaults in company with several companions. made vault with the line at the eight foot notch. He cleared easily, but in starting he had failed to put his pole in the anchor hole which had been dug for this pur- pose, direetl. under the line This caused the pole to slip when he was in mid air, he losing the momentum and falling on his left side with great force, breaking the radial bone of his left arm near the wrist. He was taken to the office of Dr. Drane where, after placing him under an anesthetic. Drs Drane and Palmer reset the broken member.
 Yesterdays accident was the second which has befallen young Brundage within the oast two months. he having sustained a severe cut with an axe just below the knee while cutting down some cottonwood trees on his fathers farm last August. He had scarcely more than recovered from this mis- fortune when the one of yesterday be- fell him.
 When the news of the accident reached W. H. Brundage, the father of the young man. he suffered an at tack os his heart. having been sub ject to these for some time past. The attack in this instance soon passed off and he was taken home.

So many teachers objected, however. to going away from the val ley fair Week that the county func- ton was accordingly organized and teachers will now be relieved of the necessity of going away from home.
 The Phoenix fair says MT. Fulton will be especially good this year. Dr. P H. H BlOme of the Tempe Normal and President L. C. Lord of the East ern Illinois Normal will conduct it. Dr. Blome needs no introduction to the people of the territory as an educator disability is well known by reason of frequent demonstrations.
