This year Kansas farmers are especially glad that they have planted or-chards and kept out of their trees the borers. If the grown people on the farm do not rejoice at the sight of many trees-bending with fruit, their children most certainly do; they rejoice not only at the sight but are de lighted with the taste of apples.

And, furthermore, we desire to say this to those farmers who have children to train and educate: When these dren of yours grow up and leave the homestead and make to themselves homes in some far off State, when they grow old and their eyes become dim, their thoughts will reach back and dwell with delight upon that same old orchard under whose trees they sought shade from the summer's heat aud from whose boughs they plucked aud ate the ripened and delicious fruit, years and years ago, while they were yet youig. If, farmers, you want to keep your children at homeland make them happy aud contented on the' farm, plant the orchard raise good fruit of all kinds aud in great abundance. Have warden.

be said to ripen before the others. The Early Louise was not ripe until about July 4th. The Early Rivers is not yet ripe. The Early Beatrice were only of fair size, few of them being over five to six inches in circumference, but in all other respect the fruit is excellent. The Early Louise were lanrer, but not equal in flavor to the Beatrice.

The Amsden's June and Alexander's Early were both of fine size (much larger than Beatrice); they were highly col-ored, excellent in flavor, and so nearly equal in size and quality that neither one could be said to be undoubtedly superior. As grown here this year, the Amsden's June aud Alexander's Early are certainly the most promising of the early peaches. It appears to me, however, that there is still chance for farther improvement. Early peaches are always in demand for table and desert fruit, and therefore should be freestone but of all the early kinds now before the public have a decided tendency to "cling to the stone. The perfection of early peaches is not yetreached.

A Western small-fruit grower says "I commenced the business on an income of $100 a year now it is $3,000. My market has been mostly in our small towns near home, and it is astonishing what an amount of fruit can be sold in our small towns of from five hundred -to five thousand inhabitants, and at paying prices, too. But as some one who reads this may think he will try the business, too, I would just say 'go slowly at That is good, aud remember it -takes years to become successfully established in growing small fruit, aud then the profits may be light. Your laud is to be first put in good condition. Apply the manure liberally, even if you have enough for but one acre.

'Go Obtain the best varieties of fruits, as far as in your power, and be satisfied to make a mere living. Beware of setting varieties that are not adapted to your climate. For instance, raspberries that may be very successful in one place mav not be worth anything in another locality, and the same is true, in some degree, with strawberries, grapes, etc." LAWRENCE FOUNDRY?

H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir My only object in giving you this testimonial is to spread valuable information. Having been badly afflicted with salt rheum, and the whole surfuce oi my skin being covered with pimples and eruptions, many of which caused me great pain and annoyance, and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took many of the advertised blood preparations, among which was any quantity of sarsaparilla, without obtaining any benefit until I commenced taking the Veqbtine; and Before I had completed the first bottle I saw that I had got the right medicine. Consequently I followed on w'th it until I had taken seven bottles, when I was pronounced a well man; and my skin is smooth, and entirely free from pimples and eruptions.

I have never enjoyed so good health beiore, and I attribute it all to the use of Veqetinb. To benefit those afflicted with rheumatism, I will make mention also of the Veqetinb's wonderful power of curing me of this acute complaint, of which 1 have suffered so intensely. C. H.

Golden Rule gives us this rule concerning summer diet: "There is a great deal said in praise of French cookery, but the demands of the intense life Americans lead cannot be met by mere flavors and stimulated dishes. Our palates may be cheated by the cui-sinier, but he cannot cheat our stomachs.

Food we must have food that on analysis gives fibrin and gluten and albumen, aud puts such restlessness into our muscles and our brains, that we cannot choose but work and think. The hearty worker is invariably the hearty feeder. While it is right and proper to utilize everything edible, and wroug to waste what may serve a useful purpose, there is no economy so unwise as to defraud our blood by filling the stomach' with what seems to be food, but is lacking in the essential elements of food. "In the summer time, fruits and vegetables naturally form a large part of our diet. When neither under ripe nor over ripe, nothing can be more wholesome than fruit.

there are no articles of food more deranging to the system than unripe fruit, or that vergiug on decay, in which the fermentations of decomposition have begun. So far as possible fruit should be eaten without sugar. Sugar is carbon iu a saccharine garb, and carbon is heat. Curds are very desirable articles for food. For breakfast on a sultry morning iu June or July nothing can exceed a cream cheese for delicacy and satisfaction.

"The habit once formed of eating cold dishes in summer, and the American idea that every meal must taste of the fire being discarded, large comfort ensues to the cook and to the eater no less. Cold tea and if rightly made and cooled, are as refreshing and stimulating as the same beverages at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold meats are as nutritious as warm meats, and many vegetables are as palateabl when they have beeu a half day from the fire as when first cooked. Salads of all kinds are especially grateful in warm weather, aud should form a part of every dinner." VEQ-ET'T'ISriEj- PREPARED BY H. R.

The dryer will cure 16,000 pounds of fruits aud vegetables every twenty-four hours. The works are of the largest size, and cost, including laud and machinery, over $13,000.

The cannery has a capacity of turning out 6,000 cans of fruit a day. The whole was built by a joint-stock and the stock is held by about twenty of the residents of the adjacent country.

If every fruit grower could go to the market where his fruit is sold and see his own packages in contrast with those of many other growers and notice the preference of the buyers, he' would learn a useful lesson. If his own parcels weut off well he would see why this was the case, and study to improve upon their present style if on the other hand his fruit was passed by, and that of another preferred, he would learn that what seems to be trifles have, a money value. Packages of fair, well arranged, well assorted fruit command a price that will more than cover the extra trouble aud expense of careful, clean, handsome arrangement.

Fruit is the healthiest diet he can partake of, and the head of every family makes an egregious mistake if he dou't supply his family with all it can consume. Colman's Rural. properly cared for, all the kitchen vegetables requisite for a good sized family.

Oil such a plot could be grown the pie-plant, asparags, peas, beans, onions, beets, parsnips, cucumbers, summer squashes, early potatoes, tomatoes, and then there would be space enough left to supply the table with the small fruits in their season. It would astonish one who had never seen the experiment tried, to see what a harvest of good things could be grown on just one thousand and eighty-nine square feet of land. From such a small piece of ground there could be raised substantial food, and nice delicacies for the table, an amount that would surpass in value the product of almost any acre on the farm. For the profit and pleasure the garden should be so near the house as to enable any of the women folk to step into it any time of day to gather what was needful for the table. The garden should be made exceedingly! rich, be tastefully arranged and kept clean of weeds.

We speak of the garden in this week's issue, not because it is the season' for spading and sowing, but because now is the time for laying out plans and gathering seeds for early spring sowing. If the farmer intends to have a good garden be mut take by the forelock, arid roake preparation for it in tall and winter, when he has more leisure than in the spring. Early Peaches. An inquiry comes from Kansas, says the Western Bural. in regard to the best variety of early peaches.

So far as information has reached us, Ams-den's June and Alexander are generally preferred for that Hate. Wo find in the last issue of the Country Gentleman (July 19), a commuuicatiou from Mr. Bissell, of Virginia, on the subject of early peaches as follows The great interest which is now felt in the question, which is the best of the early peaches, makes all information on the subject important. At our, nurseries we have had a large number of the new early peaches in bearing this year. We have also received samples from friends iu Virginia and North Carolina, so I have had a fair chauce to judge of the comparative merits of the different early peaches, and to hear the opinions of others who have tested the fruit.

As might be expected these opinions vary. This week we received a box of Seaches from Timothy Chapman, of Lanson, together with a letter raising the Early Beatrice in the ighest terms, and endorsing it as the best. The samples of fruit sent by him were of Amsden's June, Early Beatrice and Early Louise, and the fruit as grown by him certainly justified his The Beatrice was of fine size, fully ripe, highly colored, juicy, sweet and fine in flavor. The Amsden's June was a trifle smaller and did not ripen quite as early, but to my taste the flavor was superior to that of the Beatrice. The Early Louise was somewhat larger than the Early Beit-trice, but not so tor so good in quality.

Mr. Chapman calls the Louise a week later than the Beatrice. I have a different opinion as to the relative merits of the early, peaches, and my opinion is founded. on a comparison of the fruits as growu in our nurseries all the trees being jf the same age, grown on the same soil, and having the same cultivation. The Amsden's June and Alexander's Early I found to be fully as early as the Beatrice, ripening from June 25 to July 5.
