They are also thouth to re- lieve certain urinary disorders. “When the grapes ripen, them I will get fat and strong," We heard a weary-eyed woman say; and she did. G-rapes were her favorite fruit. She had firm faith in their powers, and she ate heartily of them as long as one clung to the vine. Worn with the spring work, and the heat of harvest days and much cooking, she felt “all tired out" by the tinm the first early grapes ripened. Then she got better. Her stop became buoyant, her eyes brighter, her arms rounder. Grapes were her medicine, and she could not have told why.

Cows with fleshy udders, or small udders or poor fore-adders, or small teats are to be avoided, as are those also that have short and heavy bull-like necks. The model udder reaches Well forâ€" ward in a graceful curve, and ex- tends high up behind. Many begin- ners make the mistake of supposing that those animals are of a. superior type that are dainty and delicate and lacking in size. As a matter of fact, slender. graceful animals are likely to be deficient in vigor and to pro i-j I disappointing. The performance as, an animal is one of the best gauges- of her value. The average man can-l comes nearer perfection than any other breed of beefâ€"producing cattle. These are not mere assertions, but are backed up by long years of re- corded tests; notably. the American Fat Stock Show at Chicago, where the records of seventeen years show the prize for the champion beef steer was Won once by a pure-bred Angus, twice. by pure-bred Herefords, twice by crossâ€"bred Hereford Shorthorn, four times by pureâ€"bred Shorthorns On the farm, to the man of little money and many children. the Short- horn is a bonanza, supplying milk and butter and a. good, salable calf at weaning time. The farm‘is one of her greatest strongholds. Here she stands Without a rival. The Jersey, Ayrshire and Holstein are great 'milk and butter cows, but calves are not to be considered when Seeking cattle for the feed lot. It is not necessary to mention the other beef breeds as the farmer's or poor man's COW, for none of them give milk enough to decently raise a calf. A milkâ€"pail or churn is almost useless Wherever they are bred. The farmer who would have his farm sustain a high state of fertility and not become run down, should keep the farm crops and feed them to the stock and sell the meat, butâ€" ter and cheese, and inaugurate a careful system of rotation. We beâ€" lieve that the above suggestions are worthy of consideration, and if thought over carefully, will show the cause in many cases of worn-out or runâ€"down farms. A good way to improve a run- down soil is to manure it Well in the spring with barnyard manure, if available; if not, then employ artifiâ€" cial fertilizers containing potash, and phosphoric acid, omitting any large quantities of nitrogenous elements which can be furnished by lcguminâ€" ous crops. After plowing manure under, an application of twenty bushâ€" els of lime should be given, and the earlier this is done in the spring the better. After the ground is thorâ€" oughly prepared, it can be sowed to cow peas, soy beans or one bushel of peas to the acre drilled in. CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS, 3and the growing of such crops as the legumes, for instance, that will supply freev'nitrogcn to the soil and large quantities of humus. Lime of- ten may be applied to advantage. It acts on the soil mechanically and chemically, it alters the texture of the soil and increases its power to absorb and retain moisture, and in- creases its fm'tility, by assisting in the decomposition of the mineral subâ€" stances and the organic matter conâ€" tained in the soil. Lime has a tonâ€" dcncy to make a clay soil more fri- able, and a light, sandy soil more compact. Applying barnyard manure in abundance, is a natural way for re- storing soil fertility, but in many cases this plan is not feasible, and it becomes necessary to employ Where the farmer must purchase a farm that is run down, he must first consider the condition of the soil. and next the chemical condition. It is essential that tho physical condiâ€" tion must be good before the chemiâ€" cal constituents can become effective. In this connection, we often find an abundance of plant food present in the soil but not in an available con- dition to be taken up by the plants, and it depends upon a. good physical condition before it can become availâ€" able. Nearly all soils are improved by the addition of humus or voguâ€" table matter, which increases the soil's power to absorb and retain moisture which is of great import- ance. Many of our farmers who are of- ten heard to say that farming does not pay, are really working on a. runâ€"dmvn farm. There are many farms which, while still in a fair state of fertility, have not yet reached their greatest capacity for production. It has been truthfully said, that the person who can make two blades of grass grow where only one grew be- fore is looked upon as a benefactor to his kind, but the farmer who can make one grow where none at all existed before is doing a greater work, because the difficulties to be overcome are greater. Where the farmer must purchase a farm that is run down, he must first consider the condition of the soil.

The mistress had instructed her ser- vant always to put a napkin in the bottom of the fruit-dish or of the cake-basket whenever any of these dishes were to be brought to the table. From that time the napkin was never forgotten. All Oriental servants put a strict construction upon orders. Perhaps the Hindus may bear ofi‘ the palm for excellence in this matter. At any rate, the experience of an American woman with her native servant in India last year shows a praiseworthy readiness to follow instructions to the letter. yea] I tried to buy one from a young man. but he had evidently been long away from such luxurios, for he reâ€" fused to sell.

The river banks were lined with canoes; many natives stood looking at us from the shore. and While stevedores handled the wood, many passengers visited the town.
