Here 8 the recipe |:

Here s the recipe:
 Into pitcher put tablespoonful o} butter, one-quarter cup light brown sugar. m ounce of fresh, whole allspice and 3 pint of Duffys pure malt whiskey. Let ic stand for half an hour; then add one-half pint boiling water. Let it stand again fo1 ashort while, and before serving stir well and add the juice of one orange and one emon. This is to be served in wine glass. It is very wholesome, appetizing and strengthening, especially for fever and thills in stormy and clustering weather. Prompt action on such occasions will ward cff many serious and oft-times fatal at. ack of bronchitis and pneumonia, as well IS irritating coughs and colds.

Iotal '.'. ''..'' Se'ooo MT. Brooks explained that the commission had been as economical
 as possible and did not intend to ex- pend an unnecessary dollar. Pergola Can Wait. Mir. Atwood thought the perg ola
 could wait until next year as there | is such heavy demand for necessi- ties from the health and charity de- partments.
 It's my job to recommend these things and yours to appropriate the money; if you haven't got the money why. we can't have it." MT. Brooks said.
 Will Give Trees to City. Regarding the nursery, Superinten-
 dent Wainwright said he has 100 Eu- rOpeap sycamores he could set out for the city.
 If the city wants those trees it can have them,'' MT. Brooks said He explained the future he has planned for the North End park saying that ne proposed to forest part of it and restore it to nature. Mr. Brooks said nc would not ask for a large amount
 for the North End park but he thought something should be done in
 small way. He would call in an
 expert on laying out parks to give
 his advice before the problem of a
 complete development is disposed of. Boys Haven't Half Chance
 Regarding swimming, Mr. Brooks
 said the boys of this town haven't
 half chance. The only solution of
 the bathing situation is a s50,000
 bath house in the center of the city,
 but he knew this to be out of the question.
 The playground would include base
 ball diamonds. athletic field, etc. MT.
 Brooks said Going back to Walnut Hill park.

 Water Department Wants $135,OOO.
 Chairman Chase and Commissioners
 Egan and Rossberg pleaded the case
 for the water department, which
 asked for 900. in comparison to $129,95O for the present year.
 MT. Egan presented the following typewriter statement to each mem- 1 Der of the board of finance and taxa l tion:
 1 The estimated expense account as | presented and granted by your boa rd 1 Tor the fiscal year ending March 31,
 l915, was $129,950.00. Of this amount
 Sl23,21O.O2 was spent to March 1,
 which included interest and sinking fund account in full. The estimated
 expense for March is $23O0, leaving approximate balance of $4,440.O2 of amount asked and received for the year.
 During 1914-15, s5,201.75 was transferred to land purchase account ton advice of corporation counseD. A 1 portion of said amount was for a spe- 1 c1al purpose in connection with new supply and $13,201.75 was spent for land and buildings as follows: Shuttle
 Meadow and vicinity $597.75; Whig- vile water shed, $6,S5OO0; new SUD- 1 ply, Gland and water rights( $5:754. %. 1 Some of those purchases were abso- lutely necessary for removal of nuis- ances and others on account of favor l able opportunity, which would have to be acquired in the near future. All those purchases were approved by his honor, the mayor. Accounts OvcrdraWn. ! Shuttle Meadow account was over- l drawn $971.26, partly on account of l work necessary to be done in connec- 1 tion with the location of the munich 1 pal ice house and unexpected condi- 1 tions arising in the repair of bridges ! on both canals.
 General repair account was eX- 1 ceeded by s212.96. AS the city's dis ! tribution system is extended minor re- pairs are expected to increase. 1 Burlington account was overdrawn 1 $41SO
 "The above amounts, s6,42I27, were transferred from construction account. l The receipts will about equal the amount estimated, $129,95O, and will be a safe estimate in future years (al- lowance being made for expected in- crease in serviceS) as the. first years test under the meter system was uncertain and showed an abnormal increase in revenue, which must change and did as the following fig ures show.

ORCHARDS SHOULD BE THOR
oUoHLT CULTIVATED DUR
ING GROWING SEASON.
w. r. BALLARD,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Peach orchards should most certain.
ly be thoroughly cultivated. but the
methods will need to be modified in
different parts of the State for a noun.
tain orchard cannot be handled like an
orchard on level land. IL the orchard
Ii not to be cropped its management
Is very simple on level or somewhat
rolling land. II should be plowed In
spring as soon as the ground Is In
good blowing condition and be thor.
oughly narrowed to work the soil into
good filth. Every ten days or two
weeks the harrow should be run over
the ground TO loosen Ii up unless q
heavy rain has packed II down in the
meantime. and then II should be har-
rowed as soon as dry enough. The
point is to keep a fine. loose dust
mulch to prevent the evaporation of
soil moisture.
This narrowing should be continued
until about the first OF August when
as soon as weather conditions are
favorable the cover crop seed should
be sown. The commercial fertilizer
should be applied and worked into the
soil just before the cover crop seed
Is sOwn. In this way the cover crop
gets the immediate effect OF the ferti.
lizer. and when this crop is plowed
under the following spring il soon de-
Gays and makes available plant food
for the trees. The cultivation for fol-
lowing years Is about the same as
mentioned for the FIRST year.
II Is a good practice TO grow some
early maturing hOed crop among the
young trees until they begin to bear.
but extra fertilizer or manure must
be used for this crop so the trees will
not be injured. Such crops are early
potatoes. tomatoes, melons, sweet corn
and anything which il not late In
maturing, are best, because late cult
vation for late maturing crops may
cause late growth on the trees and IL
this growth fails to ripen II may be
winter killed.
After the trees are in good bearing
the orchard ought not to be planted
to any other crop. yet this Is done sue
cessfully IL intelligently practiced and
plenty Of fertilizer or manure is used
The small grains like wheat, rye and
oats should never be allowed to mature
In the orchard because they require so
much moisture OF which they rob the
trees.
