loans from various people in town on
his own note. He became a regular
pest and every one avoided him for fear
/ that he would attempt to make loan
on one of his worthless notes.
Said He Owned Farm.
| He told those from whom he attempt

able farm in Michigan and told others
that he had a big fee coming from a
law suit which he and his father, and
well known and respected Judge in

In this community. He left the city

had established with a Chicago haw
firm.

labor in the same amount of time. to
say nothing of the wear and tear on q
mans back and body.
Almost every year a farmer buys
some implement that he can use only
during one season Of the year-per-
haps only few days; but the low
wheel wagon is something that he
can use every day in the year.
\, The broad tires make the draft
lighter, and that means saving the
team. OF course for certain kinds of
road use there will always be de-
mand for the narrow tire wheels. but
on smooth surface and particularly
where the ground is soft the pull on
the team is decreased rs per cent to
SO per cent for the simple reason that
the broad tires do not sink into the
ground; the wider bearing surface OF
the tire distributes the load in such
a manner as to buoy the wagon up
and keep it on top Of the ground.
Especially on plowed ground or very
muddy roads these wheels do not mire
like the ordinary wheels, which OF
course makes the saving on the horses
even greater.

MAKING GOOD CIDER VINEGAR
Process ls Simple and Involves Very
Little Work-cleanIIness 10 First
Important Factor.
(By 8. M. MILLER.)

(By 8. M. MILLER.)
There are many apple orchards, es-
pecially those that have never been
sprayed or cultivated. In which large
quantities Of apples are allowed to go
to waste every year.
Such fruit makes a good grade OF
cider vinegar, and handsome profit
can be made in utilizing 1t III this way.
Even If one sprays and cultivates the
orchard regularly each season and
does everything possible to prevent
having anything but marketable fruit
there will always be a good many
culls.
However, do not allow these unmer-
charitable apples to 60 to waste. Make
cider vinegar from them and get a
good price for the product right here
at home.
Making cider vinegar is very simple.
There is practically no labor attached
to 1t other than extracting the Juice
from the apples.
Perfect cleanliness first, last and all
the time is a matter of vital impor-
Stance. Apples that are picked up from
the ground are usually dirty and
should be thoroughly washed before
being placed in the cider mill.
The mill and all utensils used in the
making must be kept we'll cleaned If
a good product is to be made. To use
unclean fruit or unclean vessels SIM
ply invites bad fermentation.
II all sorts of germs which are found
on dirty and decayed fruit are put in
the cider good quality of vinegar
must not be expected.
Where one has no mill the fruit can
be pulped by hand with wooden mauls
in a wooden trough, and where only a
sufficient quantity of vinegar is want
ed for home use 1t Is not difficult
matter to secure 1t In this way.
The best receptacles in which to
put the cider are molasses kegs or
barrels, preferably those which have
held vinegar previously, since fermen-
tation commences sooner when the fer
menting organism Is present than
when 1t must find its way into the
liquid from outside mediums.
To made a good grade of vinegar
two factors are essential during the
process of fermentation. First, the
air must have free access to the liquid
to support the organism. Second, the
temperature must be favorable for the
growth of the fermenting agent.
The barrels or kegs should be placed
in a room where the temperature will
be fairly constant at 70 to rs degrees,
placed on their sides in order to give
more surface to the atmosphere, and
filled with the Juice to within six in
ches to eight inches of the bunghole.

HE'S THE ORIGINAL CROUCH
Surely Would BE Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind Of
Disposition.

There is in Washington an old
Crouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man came
home at the end Of first term, he
exulted in the fact that he stood next
to the head Of his class. But the old
gentleman was not satisfied.
Next to the head!" he exclaimed.
what do you mean? I'd like to know
what you think I'm sending you to col
lege for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head, where you
ought to be-"
At this the son was much crestfal-
len; but upon his return, he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end Of the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he went home that year he felt very
proud. 1t would be great news for the
old man.
When the announcement was made,
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes in silence; then, with a
shrug, he remarked:
"At the head Of the class, Ell? Well,
that's fine commentary on Yale uni.
versity!"- Magazine.

1t is good practice to graft plums
on peach stock.
A spraying Of the currant and other
small fruit bushes will help.
Fruit should never be- offered for
sale that is exposed to flies.
An orchard neglected for one year
virtually puts it back three years.
II the rabbits have gnawed only the
outer bark, wrap the wound with cloth.
II your orchard produces poor fruit
you may be sure there is reason
and you ought to find 1t.
Grape vines make beautiful arbor,
and II properly taken care of will pay
their way every year in fruit
Do not be stingy Of water for the
plants. Soak them plenty once or
twice a week, and don't dribble once
a day.
1t is a great mistake to pick out the
poorest soil on the place on which to
plant the orchard. The best is none
too good.
II man sells fruit of which he is
ashamed then he should throw away
his stencil and conceal all evidence
of his ownership.
The flowers will require close atten-
ton now to keep them tidy. Pick off
all the seed pods and dead leaves and
keep after the weeds.
Lemon and orange growers have
learned that it is best to wash and
wipe them before packing to prevent
the spread Of rot fungi.
The reason fruit trees planted in
fence corners and out of tho way
places do not thrive generally may
be found in the fact that they are ~

USEFUL LoW-wnEEL WAGON
Has Been Found Practically lndIspen-

Every farmer knows that there are
small jobs about the place
that require the use Of q wagon where
the bed will be close to the ground

That need has been met with the
low-wheel wagon and has made It
practically indispensable for gathering

the fields Of stones and stumps and
carrying tools and timber for fixing
up fences. or any odd job. say. like
hauling away q fallen tree.
Then there il nothing that fills the
bill better for all kinds Of work in the

son why a man should lift the corn as
high as his shoulder when the low
wagon will permit him to perform the

A well-known clergyman was one
day in BARRIERS shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which.
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved.
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several times-"Next gentleman! Next

The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:

not a man here who has the effront-
cry to answer to that name"
