Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E.

SOS Horfoik,Mebraaku. Over cultivation of Orchards. There is such a thing as cultivating an orchard too much. This is the case with orchards that have never been accustomed to being cultivated. It is safest to begin cultivation in the spring as soon as the buds begin to open, and continue the cultivation un­ til the end of July. By that time the branches will have made their annual growth, and the fruit buds will have -developed for the fruit crop of the following year. When that has been accomplished growth stops, and the rest of the season the tree spends in hardening up the wood that has been developed, and in filling the fruit buds with material for the development in the following spring. If cultivation is continued during the latter part of summer and in the fall, there is dan­ ger that a fall growth of wood will be started, and also that many of the fruit buds will expand and blossoms appear in the fall. Many a good or­ chard has been spoiled by over culti­ vation. pne man in Illinois tells the story that when he was a young man, his father being away, he thought to surprise him by thoroughly cultivat­ ing an orchard of 400 plum trees. It was early fall. The trees took oa new growth. When his father re­ turned, instead of being pleased he said: "You have killed all these trees." His prophecy proved true, as most of the tre^.4j$4, during the winter. r • • Hi Watering Trees in Summer. It generally- does little good to at­ tempt to water trees In summer. Keeping the ground pulverized will, generally accomplish more in supply­ ing moisture to the tree than will the supplying of water by the hose. The great trouble in watering with a gar­ den hose is that enough water is not given. The man will think he has thrown on a great deal of water, but it will be found on Investigation that the ground has not b^en moistened to' a greater depth than one inch. Many of the light showers in summer vet •the ground only to- a depth of one- fourth or one-half of an Inch. They really do no good to the tree through the roots. Their chief benefit con­ sists in hashing the dust off the leaves. If a man Is to use a garden hose on his trees, he will accomplish more by washing off the foliage than by attempting to water the tree from belojnr. The failure in the latter case is due to a too small supply of water; and it is extremely difficult to supply enough water through the garden hose to affect many trees. ~ Buffalo Tree Hopper. , The Buffalo tree hopper is a light- green, three-cornered insect, about one-third of an inch Jn length. What appears to be the head, really the thorax, is large and broad and termin­ ates abruptly, having on either side a short, sharp spine or thorn, somewhat resembling the horn of a buffalo, and from this comes the common name of the insect. This Insect feeds upon a great variety of plants. It does its chief injury while depositing its eggs, in August. These are deposited in the limbs of various trees, including the apple. Clean culture of orchards will do much to keep- down these insects, where many eggs are deposited on a limb, the only remedy is to cut off the limb and burn it, but this may be done in the late fall or early spring, at which times it is easier than at the present/time to discover the eggs. Cough Syrup. In time. Sold b Success With Orchards. Orchards can be successfully grown in all parts of the temperate zone, but In many sections , their success depends on the care given them. The man that plants out an orchard and expects It to make its own way may succeed if condi­ tions are exceptionally good, but there are very many places where the win­ ters are too cold and the summers are too dry to permit of the success of an orchard without cultivation, spraying, and pruning. We have seen many uncultivated orchards which have been planted by men who hoped to make fortunes out of them, but they forgot to give them care. Such orchards almost always prove to be a financial loss. Fruit Trees Not Ornamentals. All trees are divided naturally into two groups, the useful and the orna­ mental. The useful trees are those that bear fruit. These must be severely trim­ med and pruned to keep -down the vol­ ume of wood so that fruit production may be encouraged. It is useless to attempt to use a fruit tree as an orna­ mental, with rare exceptions. The amount of pruning required disfigures it, and if such pruning is neglected a small crop of fruit will be the result. Therefore the practice sometimes fol­ lowed of planting fruit trees on l%wns should not be encouraged. Well 8haned Tries. The tree that is properly shaped will have an artistic appearance in winter as well as In summer. It is. ii^t only desirable to have a mass of foliage in the summer, but its branches should be so arrang­ ed that it will give a pleasing effect in winter. The kind of fruit to grow depends on whether it is to go onto the gen­ eral market or is to be sold to private buyers. FX>r the general market, me­ dium quality fruits with good color and long keeping qualities are needed, while for the private market, quality more than anything else.' ^ . -- ~ :?V Utilizing the Hog. NT A. Clapp says: "One df the most- economical ways of feeding corn to cattle is in the shock. While at first thought this may seem like a slipshod method, with hogs to follow the cattle and to consume the undigested corn that passes the cattle, there is but little lost. Under this method the food con­ sumed by the hogs would be well nigh valueless without them to con­ sume it Hogs fattened In tbat way yield a large profit.** ^ ' DESK USED BY LAFAYETTE. Ilelic New Owned By Resident el Mid* dleboro, Mass, A relic of the visit of Gen. Lafayette to this country more than a century ago is to be found in the residence ot Leonidas Deane, Oak street, Middle- boro, Mass. He prizes it highly, It is a desk wliieu was used by the 'generai daring his stay in America. The ancestors of Mrs. Ellen V. Frost, now a resident of San Juan, but who formerly lived in Middleboro, se­ cured this bit of antique furniture at Elizabeth, N. J., and it was kept in that family for 100 years. Then Mr. Deane secured the prize. When closed the* desk forms a fine table, being substantially built of ma­ hogany and highly polished. When the cover is folded back a fine writing sur­ face is exposedf By pressing a catch at the side of the desk swings open, and a person can step inside and sit.

In possession of Lafayette was raised, but the investigations and assurances of the Frost family, who have looked the matter up, and who say that it is genuine, are accepted. BIQ WORDS OF OLD TIMERS. Modern Tongue Twister Net in It b» Comparison. "Those who are accustomed to ridi­ cule present day scientists because of their fondness for big words," said the etymologist, " will fiiid them much more moderate in the concoction ot words than the old timers. "For instance, I have just come across the account of a scientific treatise published in the seventeenth century that contains words even much more cumbersome than its title, which, by the way Is "Panzoologico-, mineralogia. A good mouthful surely, yet the word Is reduced to its com­ ponent parts. "The list of long titles that were then favorite would cause the modern book clerk a spasm, yet the list could be gone into indefinitely. A play in blank verse published in the latter part of the seventeenth century had as Its alluring title 'Chrononhonton- tholos,' and this was the opening sen­ tence: " 'Aldeborontiphoscophornio, where left you Chrononhotonthologos?' "If the modern mouthing actor can hardly get simple Anglo-Saxon words over the footlights, how could he get along with that morsel?" THIRD OF ITS KIND. King Richard III Edition 1«0S Found in England. In a little Buckinghamshire village has been found a copy of the 1605 quarto Edition of "The Tragedie of King Richard the Third," "newiy aug­ mented by William Shake-Speare." There are only forty-six leaves of It, yet probably they are each worth something like $70. For this edition is one of the rarest of the Shakspeare editions. There Is one copy in the British museum and one in the Bodleian li­ brary, but those are the only others known to be extant; and this particu­ lar copy is the more interesting in that it bears in five places the auto­ graph of William Penn, an admiral in the British navy, and father of the man who founded Pennsylvania. And another interesting find in an old house recently was a copy of the 1605 quarto of "The True Chronicle History of King Leir," on which Shakspeare three years later founded bis story of Lear and the three daugh­ ters.--London King. Beggar Takes Meals at Fine Hotel. The London Pall Mall Gazette tells a remarkable life story of a former partner of Dick Seddon, the present premier of New Zealand. The man's name is Thomas Burt, and he lost his Wealth. Mr. Seddon--although Burt Is reduced to selling matches in the Strand gutter--recognized his old part­ ner when he was visiting England, and took him to the Hotel Cecil as his guest. Burt was assured that so long as he cared to come he could obtain bis three meals at the Hotel Cecil every day. Since then the old man has duly found, his way to the hotel, and at night sleeps at a common lodg­ ing-house. In Pacific Depths. The Farm and Poultry Food. On a farm th5 size of ours--160 acres--the production of poultry food is no problem. Having but 200 hens I do not find it at all difficult to keep them in food with almost no cost. I thing it is this factor that keeps down the cost of producing eggs and other poultry products and thus makes it dif­ ficult for a man to go into the poultry business and make money out of it. From eariy spring to late fail I find poul­ try food being produced abundantly on my farh, and when the ground is frozen and the field plants dormant, I have in" my cellar enough green food for the winter and in my bins enough food of a grain nature. This latter is made up largely of screenings that accumulate' when the wheat is threshed. Screenings do not sell for much but they are valuable on the farm for poultry. The pcultryman making a business of poultry raising has to pay a high price for the screen­ ings, for he has to pay the cost of handling them and two or three profits. The farmer has the screenings be­ fore they have been handled and be­ fore they have had profits put on them to Increase the price. Then in the fall I save for the poul­ try all the small heads of cabbage that are unmerchantable, and there are many such. Some of them are of loose texture, but they are suitable for the poultry to pick at. I also sow some carrot seed, which gives me a good crop of carrots, which are enjoyed by the fowls during the winter.--Sylva- nus Banks, Champaign Co* IS* In Farmers' Review. » NEW USES FOR GLASS. Alertness of Wild Turkeys. George Enty, in "Turkeys and How to Raise Them," says: Wild turkeys in their native haunts are remarkably alert, cautious and apparently pos­ sessed of a large share of reasoning power. It is something wonderful the manner In which they elude the old' est and most experienced hunters. My grandfather said that the whole coun­ tryside of gunners were out on the watch for a renowned albino gobbler that ranged the hills along the* Alle­ gheny river, In.his young days; and, although the spotless white bird was frequently seen, on a bright morning or evening, flying from one hilltop to another, yet it was two or three years before he at last fell before the un­ erring aim of one of my grand uncles. And it was a source of much chagrin to my youngest brother, then a lad, not to be able to locate Minnehaha's nest the first season we had her. She was a full wild hen, one year old, ob­ tained from the mountains in central Pennsylvania, and was the beginning of our efforts tc cross wild and Bronze turkeys, to imptove the plumage and hardiness of the latter. But watch and trail her as he might, 'and with all the casual assistance a half dozen brothers and sisters could give him. our turkey hunting expert could not find the wild hen's nest until after the poults were hatched and away. This too in a place where the woods were in small and isolated tracts. fv Segregate the Market Birds. > At this time of year the fowls in­ tended for market should be separated from the birds that are to be retained as layers and as future breeders. Two entirely different methods of feeding should be followed, after the pullets and cockerels have attained their growth. The birds to be uped on the farm need to have an abund­ ance of exercise, while the ones in­ tended for market should be confined, that they may make the greatest pos­ sible use of their feed in the produc­ tion of flesh. This is not only in the interest of the poultry raiser, but it is also in the interest of the user of the flesh, as such a method of fattening gives a flesh very tender and juicy. The little exercise means a lessened use of carbon in the lungs of the fowl, and this in turn means that the caf bon in the food, Instead of being burned up in the breath, will be stored up in the body of the fowl in the form of fat. The usual mode of permitting all kinds of fowls to run together till it is time to market some of them results in putting on the market half- fattened fowls, and this means loss to. the farmer.

Clark of Berwick, Me.., says that for years he has fought the tent caterpillar and the currant worm with a spray of soapsuds made from old-fashioned soft soap. The remedy has proved most satisfactory, tho in­ sects never moving after the Sflfntion strikes them. Wanted "Blue Law" Enforced. In the summer' of 1856 a petition which demanded the enforcement by the city officials of the law acainst smoking on the public w, streets and ways was posted for signatures via the Merchants' Exchange, Boston. . When to Feed Soft Food. There is a dispute as to wheth er it is best to feed the soft food in the morning or at night. The practice of the writer has been to feed it in the morning. Some poultrymen feed it at night and claim that they have a good theory for doing so. Their theory is that if the birds do not have the mash in the morning they will be more active in hunting for grain and their activity will help them digest the grain. The soft feed fed at night will be easily digested during the night when they are quiet on the roosts. The theory may be a good one or it may not be of much value. It all depends on whether food is digested more easily while the birds are actually exercis­ ing or whether they digest it just as well when they are not actually mov­ ing about. This is a point that is not yet cleared up by experlmeatj. T Trap Nests. •- Trap nests are those nests In which the hen lays an egg and then finds herself in a trap, which has been Bprung by her own weight when she entered the nest She must remain in her prison till some one comes to take her out The attendant reads the number on the hen's leg and records the laying of the egg. The weakness about this plan is that it oSauiucS an attendant pi c56iit at al­ most all times of day. The trap nest is very useful at experiment stations where some one is always at hand to help make the trap workable. It is also useful on those poultry farms where one or more persons have to give their time to the care of the poul­ try. It will not prove useful gener­ ally on the farm.

It Is to be hoped there is nothing more than coincidence in the simul­ taneous invention of glass houses by an Iowan, and of glass paving bricks -by a Parisian, for if the two inventions should come in contact the architect might have to begin over again. The patentee of the glass house proposes to attach brackets to the beams of the floors of the steel frame work of his structure to support two walls of opal­ escent wire glass, the Insulating dead air in the 12-inch space between the two walls, preventing the loss of heat in winter and Its entrance in summer. It is claimed that buildings con­ structed in this manner will be more free from drafts than under present conditions, that they can be satisfac­ torily heated with a quarter Mtes fuel than buildings of brick construction, and that the absence of windows shuts out dust, smake, odors and insects, and allows of any arrangement of the floor plan desired. {The French in­ ventor in ^nestlon aims at cheapening paving bricks, utilizing for his inven­ tion old glass obtained from broken bottles, window panes, etc., as the raw material. The brisks now being test­ ed in Paris are laid on a foundation of concrete, with a wooden template one-fifth of an Inch thick between the bricks. Up to the present the new ma­ terial does not appear to wear as well as stone, but it is the belief of the city officials that the thinness of the bricks now laid makes them too fragile. They suggest making them four inches thick and laying them on a foundation of sand, as stone blocks are laldj since, on the present bed they have proved too noisy« * . COMMODORE NICHOLSON RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA. COMMODORE NICHOl SON. Children Fell Into Well, r A thrilling adventure befell a Bir­ mingham (Eng.) girl the other day. With a child in her arms she went to a tap in the yard for the purpose of filling a.jug with water. Without any warning, the bricks on which she was standing fell in with a crash, disclos­ ing a well fifty feet deep. The girl managed to push the child into saf­ ety, and she herself clung to the water tap. Her screams quickly brought help, and she was as she thus hung over the depths, dragged from the opening. The collapse was due to the decay of some wooden beams placed across the well, on which the brlfi^t had been laid. COMMODORE Somervilie Nicholson of the U nited States Navy, in a letter from 1837 R.
