Adding the Sugar.
Most women outside of Pennsylva-
mia, IL they have ever heard OF apple
butter. know of 1t only SIS the black,
somewhat sttong-tasting mixture sold
in the markets. That which is made
at nome in smaller quantities is so de-
licious that it deserves to be better
known.
The FOLLOWING recipe is the result OF
many years OF experimenting and is
wen worth trying. smokehouse ap'
pies are the best for it, but any other
tart, juicy apple can be used. A mead7
apple will not make nice preserve.
To seven pecks OF smokehouse ap'
pies allow eight gallons OF pure cider
and ten pounds of white sugar.
Pare and core the apples and cut
into thin slices. 1t expedites the work
greatly to use one OF the patent peel
ers and corers, which work together,
They are not very expensive and last
years.
Boil down. the cider to about hall
its. quantity.
Have two large preserving kettles
porcelain lined; each should hold six
gallons.
Boil the sliced apples in some of the
boiled-dpwn cider. There should be
quart or two in the bottom of each
kettle. When one kettleful is soft
press the apples through colander or
vegetable press while another one is
boiling.
When all is ready divide the press
ed apples into the two kettles and add
the boiIed-down cider to each. Have
as nearly equal quantities as possible
Do not add the sugar until the ap
pie butter is thick enough not to be
watery at the edge. This means aft
err at least two hours boiling. Cook
the fruit with sugar in 1t for hall
hour after it has begun to boil. The
sugar should be very not when it goes
in. This can be managed by keeping
1t on big stone platters lined will
brown paper and setting in warn
oven with the door slightly aiar.
If the cider is too sweet, add a hal
glass of pure vinegar to the eight gal
Ions of cider.
AS apple butter needs constant stir
ring, it is well to have a wooden pad
ple with a ladle as deep as the Kettle
and a handle that reaches we'll ou
into the room or at least six fee
long. This enables one to sit doW1
to the arduous task Of stirring. Al
the apple butter splutters terribly

Castor Beans.

Castor beans are remarkably strik-
ing plants for the annual garden. They
give rugged tropical effect when
planted in clumps or with rank grow
ing ANIMALS and perennials, such as
cannas and elephants ear. They should
occupy the center or back of the bed
unless they are dwarf varieties. In a
single season they often grow more
than ten feet tall. For extra large
plants the seeds should be sown in
pots in a greenhouse, hotbed or win
dow when tomato plants are started.
But large plants will grow from seed
sown in the open ground when the
weather has become settled A dry
situation in deep and rich soil is best
Among the most striking varieties are
Ricinus Zanzibariensis and r. Borbon-
iensis, which reach height of IL to
Is feet, and r. Cambodgensis, which
grows only about six feet tall but has
beautiful, bronZy foliage.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. j. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
Il have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
1T was the first week of May when
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, so / put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which l got rs
cents, others got so cents; oats
threshed 35 bushels per acre, for which
l got 35 cents per bushel. You see I
was three weeks late in getting them
in, still / was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack 1t for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of horse
that can plow, from $4,000 up raised
so chickens and pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything a
man raises, so have every reason to
be thankful, besides, at the end Of
three years l get my patent for home
stead. / heard of no homestead sell
ing for less than $4,000, so where un-
der the sun could an old man or
young man do better?"

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturins Humor - Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cuticura.

Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
1t covered my whole body.
was almost solid mass of sores from
head to foot. l looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen l
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out.
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but l got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
l could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. said l would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief l experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep / had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. l would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. l also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and l knew l
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time 1 was completely cured.
l wish l co1ld tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.

PRUNING PEAR TREES.
Experiments to Prove the Value Of
Different Methods.

The following experiment in prun-
ing Kieffer pear trees was made last
season and will be repeated to deter
mine the relative value of time when
to prune, writes an Indiana farmer in
Farmers Review:
Experiment No. 1-One-half all new
wood was cut back before any sign of
the bud expanding in the spring.
Experiment No. 2-Same was done
to other trees when buds were ready
to open.
Experiment No. 3-When in full
bloom and ready TO drop the bloom
other trees were cut back one-half
Nothing further was done, the trees
needing no pruning otherwise.
Now for results: they were just in
the order as was the pruning. Those
trees pruned early gave the best fruit
this year and the wood growth was
good. Those pruned second did not do
as we'll as the preceding, neither in
fruit nor wood. The third lot gave
poor fruit and but little wood growth.
This is only one trial. There may
have been other causes for this re.
suit, but we expect to continue the
same process another season to de
termine the matter more fully. We
will also try the same process ON
other varieties than Kieffer.

HEAD LETTUCE FROM HoTeEDs.
Now Is the Time to Begin to Plan for
Early Vegetables.

Plants were started about March
in an ordinary hotbed and were well
aired to get hardy plants. The hot
bed into which they were transplanted
was made the last week in March,
making bed of hot manure eight feet
wide and 1S inches deep on top of the
ground. Frames were made as for
ordinary cold frames, except that they
were deeper, Is inches back and ten
inches front
These frames were set on the ma
nure. After it had settled well and
had been trampled evenly, five inches
of rich soil was put in, which was COW
cred with about one inch of rotted
sheep manure and thoroughly mixed
with the soil. The bed was then
marked so plants would stand eight
inches apart each way, putting in
about 40 plants to the sash.
Our sashes are made three by six
feet, using two by two-inch stuff, with
a crossbar of the same in the middle.
Common sheeting, costing eight cents
per yard, was tackled onto this frame
with large-headed tacks. Plants were
set the last day of March, and it
seemed as if to test the value of the
plan a cold snap came: on the morn
ing of April 2 the thermometer stood
at 16 degrees above zero. Cabbage
and cauliflower plants set in a we'll
protected cold frame were frozen bad
ly, while this bed, with only a slight
protection of wild hay, came through
without bit of frost.
The sashes were removed every day,
unless it showed or the thermometer
stood below 40 degrees, but were COW
cred every night when there was dan
ger of frost, writes the correspondent
in Orange Judd Farmer. A row of
Scarlet Globe radishes was sown be-
tween each row and were sold at a
good profit ten days before we could
pull from outdoors. A few sashes
were planted to Grand Rapids lettuce,
which was ready to cut May 20, while
plants set outdoors were not ready un-
til two weeks later.
We began setting head lettuce June
1, which was 13 days earlier than
from outdoors, where fine, large heads
were set. The lettuce from the
sashes brought us 60 cents per dozen
wholesale and from seven to ten cents
per head from the wagon. On our re-
tail route it brought about two dollars
per sash, beside the radishes, which
brought one dollar per sash on an
average.
April and May were cold and wet
here, so that with an average season
and by using large, strong plants,
think we could have had heads by
May 20. Nearly every plant made a
good hard, well-developed head, The
varieties were May King, Big Boston
and Naumberger, new variety which
proved better than May King, both
in the sashes and outside. 1t made
larger, more solid head that stood
longer after it was ready to cut than
May King, and just as early.
