"JoHN APPLEsEED's" MONUMENT
Ohio School Children Honor Memory
of a Pioneer.

OF a FIonoeT.
At last the memory of Johnny APP
pleseed," natures hortoculturist, min
lister, wanderer, strange, lovable man,
is honored with a monument. 1t was
unveiled July %, at Ashland, Ohio, as
part Of the Ashland county home-com-
ing. Although famed in story, verse
and tradition, before this there had
been no tribute to Johnny Appleseed"
more enduring than the printed page.
1t was the school children of Ash
land county who, with their nickles,
paid for this monument. Ashland
county was near the center of Johnny
Appleseed's" activities in Ohio, which
dated from 1901 to 1888.
Johnny Appleseed," whose real
name was John Chapman, was born in
Massachusetts in 1775. At the age Of
&c, by some curious turn Of mind. he
decided to go into the great wilderness
Of 1.-The New Purchase" (Ohio) and
plant apple trees. He would go to the
cider mills in the east, and from the
waste matter pick apple seeds. These
he would carry to the fruitful valleys
in Ohio, and after clearing fertile
spots along the rivers would start
nurseries.
From these rude nurseries, near
which he would live in hollow trees, or
in the very rudest shacks, he furnished
the new settlers who were then coming
into Ohio, with apple trees. He helped
t. start many orchards in the 46 years
he gave to this work. He was always
the settlers friend, often aiding them
against the Indians, whom he did not
fear, often being able to best them in
knowledge of the great forests. He
took little for his trees and seeds, and
wore discarded clothing Of unusual APP
p%earance, shaping for himself coats
without arms from the old coats given
him. At his camp he lived chiefly up
on maize mush, and had as cooking
utensils only a kettle, spoon and plate.
He was an ordained minister in the
Church of New Jerusalem, but never
preached, contenting himself with Civ
ing religious advice. Physically he was
small, wiry. thin, and went mostly
b~arefooted. He died in Allen county,
Ind, where the growth Of Ohio's popu-
lation had driven him, at the age of
72.-Ashland, o., Dispatch.

BUR CLOVER A GREAT CROP
II Has Many Good Qualities and No
Bad ones-Savins tho Seed Crop.

u mas MANY Sooo Soa''s'ss e"N wv
Bad o~nes-Savins tho Seed Crop.
Progressive Farmer.
Please allow me to SAL a word about
bur clover. In some respects 1t is the
most valuable plant in the south. 1
am sure if its merits are ever gener-
ally known that everybody will grow
it extensively.
There are so many good things to
say about this plant that l will not
attempt to enumerate all of them.
Here are some:
/. 1t is a most excellent winter
grazing plant. All kinds Of stock will
eat it and thrive on it. 1t will usually
be ready to Craze early in the winter
and furnishes abundant growth till its
seeding time in May. Sheep raising
would be profitable when we grow bur
clover extensively.
2. 1t is one Of the easiest plants to
propagate. 1t Is a lazy mans clover.
You may Craze it all you please and
have seed left for a stand. 1t grows
anywhere. Just throw the seed over
the ground and harrow lightly If you
wish. Where you let the seed ripen,
plant to any crop and in the fall a n
stand of clover will come. Buy your
seed to start with and expense for
seed is at an end. An acre or two
will furnish seed for a farm.
8. 1t is a paying money crop, Inc
will be for years to come. Last year,
my first year in charge Of Lethe Agri-
cultural seminary, we gathered from
less than two acres over $500 worth
of seed. This year was too dry at
seeding time, and yet we gathered
nearly 1000 bushels. Even though
the price should be greatly reduced,
it would net more money per acre than
corn or cotton.
4. 1t is a nitrogen-gathering plant.
Corn or cotton or other crops plant
ed in May where clover has been,
grows as if you had put a half ton
Of fertilizer to the acre.
S. 1t only occupies the ground half
the year, and that half when the LAND
is not generally in use. From May to
September you can cultivate in other
crops, so long as you quit blowing
early in September to give the clover
a chance to set again.
These are a few good points. If
there are n bad points 1 do not
know them. 1t is a pest, being
easily killed.
The seed are gathered in May or
June. We rake Off the dead hay, the
seed falling to the ground, then sweep
them up with street-sweeping brooms.
In cleaning we pass them over a fine
mesh screen to sift out the sand, and
then over a larger mesh to separate
seed from hay, stones, etc. Our IL
boys and IL girls easily gathered,
cleaned and sacked 100 bushels a day,
and most of them are small children.

His Own Game.-In the September
American Magazine, Philip Curtiss,
writing a romance Of the west entitled,
And West is West" presents a char
acter who tells the following story
about an Englishman:
"At dancing" he explained, I'm like
the Englishman downstairs on the
bowling alleys. Every ball that he
rolled went off the alleys, and when we
joked him about it, he replied: "Oh,
1 know this isn't n game, but you'd
ought to see me at Hunt-the-S Slipper.
I'm a regular tiger at it, a whale"

are not entirely smooth.
1t happened during housecleaning.
During the day the wife had been
re-arranging the pictures on the wall,
and in driving a nail, the hammer
slipped and struck her finger.
When the husband came home that
evening she told him Of the accident.
He sympathized with her and even
kissed the bruised finger.

from pounding my fingers. I'll have

A writer in the New York Times thus
describes the death Of spring and the
advent Of summer:
The earth is in half-mourning for the
spring.
She died, they say, Of love-poor little
thing!
And so the earth hath edged her coat
of green
With palest purple, that it may be
She mourneth. 'Twixt her and the sky
Of May
She lifts her lilac sunshade, that the
day
Peer not too gayly in her tear-stained
face.
Upon her breast she pins a purple
flag.
Symbol Of grief-for since the sun
did lag
And not assume the ardent lovers
place
AS she expected of him her fair child
Sometimes so hayward yet sometimes
SO mild
Sweet spring, hath died, alas! alas! Of
cold.
Shed tears, oh rain, that she was thus
undone!
Now, that most beautious dress OF
white and gold,
Prepared for young springs wedding
with the sun,
Is put aside, and in its place the earth,
Her mother, wears these mourning
colors; mirth
And singing Of the birds console her
not,
And joyous June, her god-child. is for
got.
Yelled in wisterie, she sits and grieves
And heedeth not the counsel Of the
leaves
Or admonition Of the violet,
That nestles close and begs her to for
get
Her disappointment and the poor dead
past,
For summer, summer, summer INT

FALSE ECONOMY

It is an old saying that Clothes don't make the
man." and quite true is this saying-but YOU would
give quicker attention and more consideration to the
we'll dressed man than you would to the man who IS
careless of his clothes-esPecially il the Wearer were a
stranger. Wouldn't YOU? Yes. Well, Good Print
ed Stationery, Booklets, ETC., do not make a good, re-
liable merchant, a banker or other safe business man
but YOU know that YOU-unconsciously possibly
notice the difference in the quality of the printed matter
that passes through your hands. If a letter YOU re-
ceive is written on a poor quality of paper and carries
a cheap looking printed heading YOU-unconsciously
~possibly-put it down in your mind that the writer is
on a par with his stationery and YOU think of him just
that way. Well, if this be true then what does the
OTHER FELLOW think of YOU when YOUR sta
tionery is of the cheap, shoddy looking kind? Forms
the same kind Of opinion of YOU that YOU would
form of HIM.
What kind of stationery do YOU use? Is it the
kind that leaves a bad taste or the kind that commands
attention by its very appearance-its Quality, If you
please? The better kind costs a little more-its worth
more because it gets more-but a red stamp will carry
either kind. If YOU want YOUR stationery to COM
mand attention use the BEST-it will pay YOU for its
COST. Use the kind that YOU will get at The En-
quirer Office. We insist on all Our work being "Just
As Good AS Your Money Will Buy" If YOU are sat
isfed with the cheap, shoddy kind of printing, then of
course we do not expect to get your orders-But WE
DO WANT YOUR ORDER if o want the BEST
in Quality at a FAIR PRICE
A rubber stamp will satisfy some people, while
others are satisfied with anything that comes out of a
printing of6ce-but the Merchant, Banker or Manu-
facturer who wants to create a good impression on the
other Merchant, Banker or Manufacturer is satisfied
with nothing but the BEST-That's Our Kind.

WOMAN AND THE HOME
Fact, Fashion and Fancy Calculated to
Interest York County Women.

So many women who take the
greatestccare Of their table silver, neg
lect their kitchen utensils. 1t Is true
that the latter are not as expensive
as the former, but nevertheless they do
cost money and enough Of 1t, too.
pots are much too high-priced to neg
lect. Carving knives and forks, In
particular, are expensive and require a
deal Of ARE to keep them In good or
der. Kitchen knives Of steel need at
tention as well. Long strips Of cotton
or outing flannel should be kept in the
kitchen drawer, in which to wrap the
steel utensils after they are washed.
One slip Of the flannel will protect a
dozen knives. All steel knives need
protection from the moisture in the air
as they rust very quickly. Good
knives may be ruined in no time by
rust. There are several ways to guard
steel against rust. One Of the most
eficacious is to keep a deep box full
Of dry sand on the shelf and put the
knives in this when not in use. This
will o only keep them dry but will
scour them nicely as we'll. Another
method is to rub each blade with a
clean cloth with olive oil before put
ting them away. This will leave a
light coat Of the oil, which will shut out
moisture.
JelIied Chicken.
Cold boiled chicken can be prepared
as jellied chicken. Put an ounce OF
any good gelatine in a pint Of warm
water on the back Of the stove and
occasionally stir it until 1t Is dissolved,
then add a pint Of chicken broth or
boullion to it, season highly with salt
and pepper and strain 1t. Meanwhile
cut all chicken off bones, freeing
from skin and gristle; put in earthen
or tin mould, press it down, pour the
| dissolved gelatine into the mould,
taking care to saturate the chicken
completely. Set a fiat dish or a piece
Of board on the chicken with a weight
on it and let 1t cool. When cold re-
move from mould. slice and serve
cold.
Some Uses for Salt.
Salt puts out a fire in the chimney.
Salt in solution inhaled cures cold
in the head.
Salt in whitewash makes 1t stick.
Salt and soda are excellent for
stings.
Salt as a gargle will cure soreness in
the throat.
Salt used in sweeping carpet keeps
out moths.
Salt thrown on a coal fire which is
low will revive it.
Salt and vinegar will remove stains
from discolored teacups.
Salt thrown on SCOT which has fall
len on the carpet will prevent stain.
Salt put on ink when freshly spilled
on a carpet will prevent stain.
Never salt meat that has. to be
grilled, as It helps to harden the
fibers of the meat and tends to x
tract the juice. Salt on the platter be-
fore sending to the table. No meat
