But scores of these same farmers appear to ignore the heavy drain which a bearing orchard makes on the soil—leastwise many orchards are “stuck into the ground” and al lowed to subsist without fertilizers of any klad belog given she soil— Ruraliss.

A New York sharper then conducted a swindle at which even Washington would have smiled approvingly. It was at the time when we stood in the greatest need of soldiers. This man inserted inthe papers everywhere an advertisement that read as follows: “Notice—For one dollar I will give any person positive information whereby he may avold the conscription.’ Replies | came at the rate of 600 a day, and dollars accompanied them.

From Harper’s Weekly What would be the sensations of one of our ancestors of the Middle; ages if he could sit down to amodern breakfast table? | To begin with fruits, these were al- most unknown to the men of his, period; certainly in thelr present) form. So were most of our vegeta-| bles. The only vegetable which seems to be more or less indigenous over) the-greater-part of the world Is the | equash-pumpkin tribe. The pump- kin fe very anclent, for it dates back to Cinderella. Of course, he knew the small wild cherry, with {ts bitter flavor, the lit- tle wild strawberry, the raspberry, blackberry and plum. Apples, or “crabs,” as Shakespeare calls them, were used {n England and generally roasted in order to deprive them of their astringency. The wild-hedge orange of China and India filtered into Europe occasionally, but it was scarcely eatable. Potatoes were, of couree, unknown, Bananas were In- troduced in quantity to Europe with in the lifetime of many middle-aged men. The grapefruit is the product of the past two decades, and even yet has seldom crossed the Atlantic. The peach was a polsonous shrub in Persta, Strangely enough, it was the lack of fruit which led to the discovery of Asta. In those days, when salt fish was the usual diet of all nations, pepper became @ luxury. Pepper plays & disproportionate part in his- tory. Who speaks and sings of spices nowadays, when they can be procured at every grocer’s store? Yet {¢ was to obtain pepper that the East Indla company was chartered during the reign of Elizabeth. Oate were defined scorntully by Dr. Johnson as a food fed to men tn Scotland and to horses in England. What would the worthy doctor have thought of our very modern break- fast foods—the flakes, the brans, the husks, the shreds and various con- stituents of grains? Tea, coffee and cocoa were, of course, unknown «-ntil the beginning of the Elghteenth cen- tury. Sugar was the most costly of condiments. Bee-keeping was the practice of every farmer. Our worthy ancestor broke his fast n sals fish or meat {f he were wealthy or had access to some deer forest. He washed down his food with hot beer, spiced, or honey brew. A roasted crabapple “sang in the bow!” ou the very numerous Saints’ days. Our modern breaklast would startle our ancestor very much in- deed. Kodolcompletely digests all classes of food.
