The Exeter Advocate, 1891-12-31, Page 3ONTARIO FRUIT GROWERS, vassorated Fruit sp Mr, L. 33. Rio°, of Port Huron, Mich., read an excellent paper on " Money in :Evaporated Fruits." lie said emphatically that there was money in evaporated fruits if the proper mens were taken to get it ont. In the first, place it was necessary to esti- mate carefully the amount of work, to be clone in the evaporating seeeon, usually lasting 90 days. The sort of dryers to be used de- pended upon the amount of fruit to be evaporated, lie gave a lot of information as to the heading of evaporatorand how to run them, Mr. A. J. Rice, Socha, N. Y., gave his experience at evaporating during the past twenty years. A barrel of Baldwin -apples would make 21 pounds of evaporated fridt, bringing Ssn. 26 clear, and the skins and cores would make 33 pounds and bring 14; cents a pound. So the barrel of culls brought is1.45 at the lowest estimate. Mr. Rice also gave useful inforniation as to the coat of evaporators and the like. Farm Horticulture. "Horticulture from a Farmer's Stand- point" was then taken up by Mr. John ICernighass, of Beniniller, Huron county. On every well -regulated farm, he said, there should be an orchard, kitchen vegetable and fruit gerden and lawn. First he placed the mori x OFFICIALLN DEAD. lam a:act:wit n Surgeons Ileke their lteport Au wrItIng, 1 A New Y ork despatch says : Warden Brown, of Si ng Sing, sent to the Deputy County Clerh to -day the eertificate of death and autopsy on the body of Martin D. Loppy, exec ted on Deeember 7. Drs. Mc- Donald and Yard report that there was a series of for r brief contacts, occnpying in all 52, second . The first lasted 15 seconds and the sew id 11 seeonds, the third 151e and the last le ?s seconds. There were brief intervals bet)hreen each contact to permit of the wettino of the electrodes. The read- ings taken by Prof. Dandy from the volt meter indicakted a pressure of 1,716 volts with nearly s,bven amperes. An examination was made of the wrist pulse and the maculation of the heart after the last con- tact. The prisener was pronounced dead at 12-05. The first contact took place at 11,52-23. " Death," the physicians say, " was apparyntly instantaneous and pain. le81'100 ompanYeng the certificate is a long statement of the autopsy by Dr. Ira Van Gesion, whe 4ouducted it. " Rigor mortis," he says, " v: as ahnost *completely if not entirely abs Alt except in the right leg." The mouth t nd nostrils, according to Dr. VanGieson, were perfectly natural and showed no iraces of the extrusion of fluids or fatty material.The eyeball of the only ,i farm, next the orchard, then the garden eye that Loppy had was in a perfect state. and lastly the lawn, but in his mind all. were necessary to a perfect farm. The greater part of the orchard should be given to the apple. On an ordinary farm not more than five acres should be given to orchard, and three-fourths of the part given to apples should be given to winter varieties. Next to apples he would grow plums, then pears. Some would place • cherries third on the list, but to him they were too much trouble in picking and took too nmeli time in a very busy Season. Peaches he would place after pears. He alluded to the many drawbacks to fruit growing—the troubles that befell the trees and those which attacked the fruit. He emphasized the necessity of not undertaking too much in the way of horticulture, but doing well what was undertaken. The lawn, he said, should include a flower garden and ornamental trees. email Fruite. A paper on "Srnall fruits for the busi- ness man," by Mr. Alex. Saunders, of Goderich, was read by the secretary, Mr. • Saunders not being present. Mr. Saunders held that the cultivation of small fruit would always repay the grower for the time spent upon it. The paper dealt with straw- berries, raspberries, gooseberries and grapes, and touched onplums'pears, crabapples and apples. It advised the members to go in for small fruits as a means of pleasure, and it would be found to be a means of profit as well. Mr. John Richards, of Ancaster, said he had been growing email fruits for eight years aud gave particular attention to straw- berries and found that much improvement could be made on the old style of berries. His experience was that the large berries paid well. From a sixth of an acre he made 575 from fruit and 5140 from plants in one season. He had found by experience that ten acres of land was as much as could be worked to pay if devoted to small fruits. He found the Jessie and Bubach to be the best varieties in quality. Mr. Richards was plied with questions relating to others. Mr. Race asked if the Jessie coulkl be relied upon, Mr. Plchards replying thatit was not reliable and for that reason he was getting rid of his vines. The rIlaverland and Saunders he recommended. , Mr. Craig; of the Ottawa Experimental Farm, said he found the Jessie to have the fault complained of by Messrs. Race and -Richards. He gave it as his opinion that the varieties of stawberries should not be multiplied. Tree Lifting and Planting. Mr. D. Nicol, of Cataraqui, read a short paper on "Lifting, Planting and Trans- planting Trees." He attributed a great deal of the failure of trees to the lifting and -planting. The lifting and transplanting of large trees wee aleo the ruse Of a good deal of failure. Large treee could be fully supplied supplied if those who wanted them were willing to go to the heavy expellee of lifting, and even then the large trees.' made slow progress in comparison with trees transplanted at the age of two years. B g trees transplanted were also liable to be blown over. Many trees, he said, were ruined by rough handling. In localities where the frost goes to 30 0 below zero the. trees transplanted in the fall were generally winter killed, but in milder climates the planting might be done in the fall. In the discussion which followed, Mr. Morris held that a great deal of the lose' of trees was due to the fact that the planters did not pack the soil sufficiently. When the tree is put in and the hole two-thirds filled, • the earth should be packed as firmly as if it had been pounded and the restfilled in with • looser earth. In regard to pearsparticularly, he advised planting in the fall. Non -Productive orchards. Mr. F. G. H. Patterson read a paper on " Some of the Causes of Non -Productive- ness of Apple Orchards." He argued that the statement made that it would not be well if the apple orchards were more pro- ductive was false. Canada could not pro- duce too many apples. Many orchards did not pay because of the lack of the two " q's,,quality and quantity. The leading cause of unfruitfulness was starvation. Farmers too often went on planting crops on their orchards, just as if there were no trees there. The wonder was not that the yield was small, but that the trees lived at all with such treatment. Not a single crop Of rye, oats or wheat, he claimed, should be taken from the land on which was an orchard. The use of the land, however, need not be lost, Roots, _corn, peas, buck- wheat, hay, pasture and even an occasional crop of barley ceuld be raised with benefit to the young orebard, if accompanied by a judicious use of manure. The second great cause of non-productivenes • was that the soil or locality was unsuitable, Before planting growers should study these points carefully. The third cause was the too great vigor and growth of wood. Many well-nianured and well - cultivated orchards failed to yield largely, especially in deep loamy soil. As remedies Mr. Patterson suggested allowing the orclsards to go to sod for a considerable period.; heading the trees in thoroughly ; s digging a trench on one side of each tree and cutting every root to be found there. The last mentioned process, he said, would often cure barrennes when nothing else would. The bark louse, he said, was reeponsible for some non.productiveness, though it should not be, as the pest could easily bo got rid of. Over and under prim- ing contribute somewhat to non -productive- ness, . but the greatest and commonest cense of all was the first mentioned—starvation. A very interesting discussion followed, in which it was brought out that it would not be hurtful to grow rye in the orchard so long as the crop was not taken off, but plowed in to improve the soil.

On the knee there was a superficial reddish- ness about 311 by 5 inches, but the true skin bore no marks. Under the head electrode there were no marks. The interior of the mouth was normal, and the tongue and teeth showed no signs of injury. The muscles were critically examined and no indications of giolence produced by the current were found. In comparing Loppy's death with that of the four others executed in Sing Sing, Dr. VanGieson says a current of 1,400 to 1,600 volts does no damage to any of the internal organs, tissues, or muscles. The local thermiceffects were limited to the outer scarf skin, which, when removed, resembled an ordinary water -blister. Where the skin had been xposed to the weather, as that on the forehead and scalp, no blistering takes place. CHURCII SUBSCRIPTIONS. A Case of General Interest Before the Divi- sion Court at Ingersoll. An Ingersoll despatch says : At the Division Court here yesterday the case of the Baptist Church vs. Smith, Cook and Morgan occupied the whole of the afternoon, and was postponed until next Tuesday as unfinished. The case arises out of the re- fusal of the above-named gentlemen to pay to the treasurer of the trustees of the church the amount of their subscription towards the erection of the new church. There has been a dispute for some time be- tween the members of this body, on account of the pastor,Rev. J. F. Barker, allowing some parties to partake of the communion last spring. The tenets of the church state that no unbaptizei person shall partake of the sacrament and the church people say the parties referred to were regularly baptized into the church by immersion, and, therefore, were entitled to be received .as members. The dissenting portion of the congregation contended that as the parties' names were not on the church roll they were not entitled to sit at the Lord's table. On account of this dispute the pastor sent iu his resignation, and at a congregational meeting held shortly after it was refused by the majority. The minority, among whom were the gentlemen against whom the action is brought, withdrew from the church and asked that their names be struck off the chureirroll, which -was done', The present action of the church is to test their power to collect the amount of the subscriptions.

Blaine has found it necessary to ask the protection of the police against the detective who, she says, her husband has put on her track. Mrs. Blaine is in this city attending a referee's hearing in her suit for divorce. She is registered at the New York hotel. No sooner had she been installed in the hotel, she tells Inspector Brynes, than private detectives began to swarm about her, giving her no peace. They even questioned the cabman that drove her to the referee's office as to where she went and when. The cabman told her of it. At the same time it was discovered that a woman guest, registered in the hotel on the same floor as she, was a spy. This woman tried in every way to induce the servants to tell her everything they saw or heard about Mrs. Blaine. She expressed a wish to have her room changed, and when she hea.rd that Mrs. Blame was going away she asked to be ailowed to look at her room. Mrs. Blaine believes that her object was to see if there were any letters lying around loose. Mrs. Blaine went into a fit of hysterics when these things were made known to her. She was closeted with the inspector for a full hour yesterday. tau 0 Cold Ilay.' What Ile Can Get. Buffalo News : He—There is a good deal to be said in favor of cremation.

IT is no crime to get drunk, and a police- man has no right arrest a mad or a woman for simply being drunk, if Judge Wurtele's interpretation of the law is cor rect. In the Court of Queen's Bench at Montreal on Thursday he quashed the con- viction of one Zotique Gauthier, who was arrested and convicted on a charge of being drunk. The conviction was under section 8 of the Vagrancy Acte which reads ; " Clause a disturbance in any street orhighway by screaming, 'swearing, or singie.g, or by being drunk, or by impeding or incommoding peaceful paesengers." The judge held that there was no evidence of Gauthier creating a disturbance and the evidence as to his being drunk not conclusive. His Lordship also held that the fact of a man being merely drunk, while he was reeking no disturbance, was not an offence in the oyes of the law, although it was a morel offence. Mr. Cahill might make a note of this. Quecrt Victoria's bed -room in Windso Castle is so simple in its decorations and furniehings that one would take it fel: the Weeping apartment of some old maid.

Every dinner et which the Duchess was present was certain to be attended by Lod Hartington, who WAS a fellow guest of hers at eech country house which she visited. Her husband, the Duke of Manchester, a good-natured, harmless and innofi'ensivd creature, died nearly two years ago and a marriage would have taken place between the widow and the Marquis last spring bad it not been for the obstacle raised by Lord Hartington's aged father, the Duke of Devonshire, who viewed with the utmost disfavor the projected union. The couple therefore decided to postpone the ceremony until his death, and I suppose that within a short time we shall see that once famous beauty, the Duchess of Manchester, bloss- oming forth as Duchess of Devonshire and as mistress of that quaint old palace, Devon- shire House, in Picadilly. . TURGIFT SEASON. ' Some Practical Advice hi Regard to the Making of Presents. About this time of year the average man yearns for the wealth of Astor or Gould that he might afford to purchase Christmas gifts for his family and friends. There is a pleasure in giving which prompts a man to throw expense to the dogs and bankrupt himself by buying right and left until he wearies from sheer exhaustion. That is one way of doing it, or rather over -doing it, but there is a common-sense middle course svhiali can be safely followed by 'people of moderate means. Before making your Christmas purchases, find out what you owe and pay it. Settle up the little accounts of the hatcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, and then, with an easy conscience, go ahead providing for your friends. Go in for quantity, or rather multiplicity. It is better to remember many with modest tokens than few with costly ones. If an outlay of five cents will convince a friend of your good will, it will be a great result achieved at small cost. Do not distribute your „gifts among people who do'not need them, do not want them and who regard the action as au intrusion. Remember that a barrel of flour is of more use to a poor man than an embroidered piano cover. Be practical in your selection, and even if you should not receive a single present in return you will enjoy the satisfaction of having added to the happiness of othess.— „Philadelphia Hews.

It was Easter Sunday and his wife had tried to coachum beforohand, naturally wishing him to take part with her in the service. "Remember now, my dear,” she said, "that the rector will coine forward and say The Lord is risen,' and you will respond with • He is, indeed.' You will remember that, now, won't you?"

The ani- mal's name was Beauty, and he belonged to a Mrs. Dr. McNair, of New Jersey. Not content with swathing the dead body of her pet in silk ribbons and'placindit in a silver casket, Mrs. Dr. McNair made an effort to have the remains buried in a cemetery. Being unable to accomplish this, the grief- stricken wonsan showed her loving respect for the dead by having the body lie in state for two days in the front parlor of a hotel. Yesterday Beauty was buried. The maudlin sentimentalityof the scene at the grave was enhanced by the reading of a silly and badly written poem by Dr. McNair. All this might have been well enough if "Dear, dead Beauty " had been any other kind of a deg than a pug.--eVew York World. Proverbial Silence Broken.

The Situaticm Health depends upon the state of the blood. The blood conveys every element which goes to make up all the organs of the body, and it carries away all waste or dissolved and useless material. Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue lives upon what the blood feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of the heart, every drawing of the breath, every thought flashing through the brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to be done rightly and well. 2d. The Necessity The human race as a whole is in gi eat need of a good blood purifier. There are about 2400 disorders incident to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure or poisonous condition of the blood. Very few in- dividuals enjoy perfect health, and fewer still have perfectly pure blood. Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity, has been inherited by generation after generation, and manifests itself today virulent and virtually unchanged from its ancient forms. If we are so fortu- nate as to eacape hereditary impurities in the blood, we may contract disease from germs in the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the water we drink. 3d. The Remedy ' In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the tnedicine for all blood diseases. Its remarkable cures are its loudest praise. No remedy has ever had SO great suc- cess, no medicine was ever accorded so great public patronage. Scrofula in its severest forms has yielded to its potent Powers: blood poisOning and salt rheum and many other diseases have been permanently cured by it.
