to all is to beware of coughs and colds

lead to pneumonia, consumption or
other pulmonary troubles. Just as soon

perfectly harmless. A cure and pre-
ventlve for all diseases of the lungs.

The Indian corn crop for 1908,
amounted to 2,643, 100000 bushels The
crops of three years have exceeded
this. but only the crop of one year
(19O6) exceeded 1t very much. The
value of the crop is estimated at ST..
615,O00,000. The price Of corn Is ex'
ceptionally high. There are only two
years in which the farm price of this
crop was as high as 1t is for this year
In 1881 the price was 63.6 cents; in
1901, when there was only two-thirds
of an ordinary crop, the price was
COS cents. The total value of this
crop Is by far the highest ever reach
ed. The crop of 1902 was worth bill
lion dollars, and the crops of 1904,
1905 and 1906 were worth sl00,000,00O
more; the great increase Of $780, 000,-
900 over the crop of 1902 was made in
1907, and now the increase is $600000,.

It Is essential that water for fowls
be changed twice daily, at least, and
unless 1t Is kept celan 1t will occasion
disease. Should fowl be Ill, and the
owner not be aware Of 1t, as 1t drinks
1t Is bound to contaminate the water
from some discharge, perhaps from its
nostrils or from the breath, says the
Mirror and Farmer. A sick bird, or
course, should always be removed. but
sometimes the farmer or poultrylnan Is
unaware that the fowl IL sick until il
is too late to undo the harm 1t las
done by communicating the drinking
water. The best plan Is to keep the
water as fresh and the drinking ves-
sells as clean as 1t is possible to do. A
few drops Of carbollc acid in the drink
ing water will assist in keeping II
pure, but the acid should be used care
fully on account Of It's poisonous quail
ties. Washing the drinking fountains
or vessels daily will do more to keep
the water fresh and pure than any
thing else. When water Is allowed to
stand, even If only for few hours, on
throwing 1t out there will be the small
est accumulation of slime in the foun
tain, and II they are refilled without
washing them, the coating increases
until the water, although freshly put
in, Is unfit for the fowls use. AS the
warm weather advances there Is more
necessity of watching the drinking yes
sells,

The vine grows everywhere. Inc
hest in Palestine are still the same, at
the brook of Eshcol, near Hebron,
where Joshua and Caleb brought the
traditional big cluster (Num. IL :23).
There are different kinds of grape
vines, both black and white, which be-
gin to bear fruit in July, Prof. Phlllp
]. Baldensperger says In the Los All
geles Examiner. These first grapes
called dabuky, are excellent grapes TOR
the table. They often have berries
more than an inch, and punches OF
foot or more in length. The next finest
table grapes are the hamdany; the
berries, though very large, are not 50
elongated as the former, and the Dunch
is more compact. The good wine
grapes are the jandally, which become
ripe in September and OCTOBER; very
sweet, but numerous small berries ana
very long punches. AS the feliahln
are mostly Mohammedans they sell the
Jerusalem or Jaffa, who make very
strong wine out of them. The Christian
Greek church, inhabitants OF Es-Salt
(Ramoth in Gilead) have as fine vine
wards almost as the Hebronites, but
owing to the distance from Jerusal lem,
the center Of Palestinian commerce,
they can but dry their grapes and make
excellent raisins and sell them for eX-
portation.
The vineyards are always surrounded
by dry stone wall and kasr built
III it. On the top Of this loose stone
building they put a hut, which IN
summer only is covered by branches
Here the family lives and from this
elevated place the guardian can survey
the vineyar1, which, though fenced
all around with thorn bushes laid on
the walls, is often visited by foxes,
| badgers. jackals and sometimes thieves.
During the day the men are general
| " away at other work and the women
| alone guard the vineyards and hS
trees, during which time singing never
| ceases. Often they sing among them
selves kind of round; one girl sings
the first verse or lines and second
one in a distant vineyard answers and
a third may join, and so singing never
ceases from morning to night. These
merry days are also remembered and
the prophet Isaiah alludes to the time
when they shall cease amid the calam-
tiles of Israel.
The fig tree is also universally
known. even more than the vine. But
the real land of the fig trees or Of
dried figs is the north of Jerusalem
RamalIah. etc. There are many kinds
of fig tres, bearing early and late fruit,
apart from the two kinds which all the
| fig trees bear. The first figs are ripe
at the end Of May, in the warmer spots,
and the ordinary figs begin in June or
| July.

Farm Mechanics.

Every farm should have a work
shop. The building may be large or
small. 1t Is not necessary to have 1t
very expensive The tools may be few
or many, but what there are should be
good. No man can do good work with
poor tools, and good tools cost but lit
tie more than poor ones. A building
10 by 12 feet will answer for a black.
smith shop with a small wise bench IN
one corner. If this Is fitted with a
good chimney, forge, anvil, hammer,
tongs and good steel wise, considerable
blacksmithing work can be done to ad-
vantage.
There should be small stove to
make the shop comfortable in winter
This Is very important, because there
is more time to work in shop in the
winter, and you can't work with black
smiths tools in frosty atmosphere.
Carpenters work is different A
carpenters bench may be placed
against the side of the building and
covered with a shed roof, for, If neces
sary, carpenter work may be done out
side if you have covered place for the
bench and tools.
A much better arrangement Is to
have a blacksmith shop in one end OF
a larger building and a carpenter shop
in the other end, with a partition be-
tween. There should be no shavings
lying about a blacksmith shop; there
Is too much danger from fire. For an
other reason, the two kinds Of work
do not jibe we'll together. 1t Is COM
paratively easy to keep a blacksmith
shop in order, but there is a great deal
of litter about a woodworking shop,
and farmer never finds time to keep
such things neatly in order.
In buying Woodworking tools the
best are the cheapest. 1t is poor econ
omy to buy cheap tools. Not many are
needed for common repair work, and a
good kit may be had for a few dollars.
Instruction books on mechanics may
help a good deal The principles may
be studied out and applied in the
shop. The boys on the farm take up
such things easily and often make
good mechanics.-Agricultu Epito-
uist.

The First Baldwin AppIes.

The place where the first Baldwin
apple tree grew is marked by a monu-
ment. This first tree was a chance
seeding that came to maturity on a
farm near Lowell, Mass, about 1740.
1t was not until 1884 that Col. Bald
win became interested in the apple, de-
veloped 1t and gave 1t his name. The
original tree lived till after 1917, and
did not live in vain. For the Baldwin
apple Is one of the best.

The silo should be depended upon,
