We Want to Know, You Know— Continxied. 
VALIDITY OP Mortgage.—S uppoBlnu A lets B 
have money and takes a morttiage on B's farm for 
tl,0C0 which, after a few years, A gives to B’s wife 
(she being a daughter of A) as a dowry for the con¬ 
sideration of tl, said mortgage belrg duly recorded. 
After a lapse of years, B and his wife give to C a 
mortgage on the same premises. C threatened a fore- 
c’osure, and. to save costs, B and his wife gave C a 
deed of the premises, C knowing that B's wife still 
owned said mortgsge. B's wife now claims the 
amount duo on said mortgage. The question arises: 
Is the mortgage valid as a claim on said premises ? 
Liberty, N. Y. a. w. G 
ANS.—Certainly, If It was regularly made and re¬ 
corded, and there was no collusion or attempt to de¬ 
fraud In Its transfer. The deed given by B and his 
wife must, of course, bo with the understanding that 
this mortgage Is still a claim on the property. C’s 
mortgage must, of course, have been a second mort¬ 
gage. 
The Prizetaker Oniox.— 1. tVlllthe Prlzetaker 
onion mature In Monroe County,'.N. Y. If sown In the 
open Held In the latter part of April? 2. If so, how 
will It compare with the Danvers Globe with resoect 
to production, keeping qualities and for market ? 3. 
Will It pay to use nitrate of soda upon naturally rich 
and heavily manured ground for onions? v. m. b. 
ANS.—1. Yes If season and culture are favorable. 
2. From all reports. It wlllontyleld the Danvers, but 
It is more certain In the South than In the extreme 
North. The solidity aud thorough maturity of an 
onion have more to do with Its keeping qualities than 
the variety. For the market. It attracts attention 
because of Its large size. We wouldn't advise any 
one, however, to displace old and well tried kinds 
with this without a trial. But try It by all means. 3. 
Yes, we think so. Apply when the onions are bottom¬ 
ing. not over 200 pounds per acre. It would be better 
to use also a fertilizer strong In potash. 
Apples IN Oklaho.ma.— Would It pay to put out 
an apple orchard of 20 acres of late varieties In Okla¬ 
homa? I am thinking of setting such an orchard 
the coming fall. What kinds would be best? 
n. K c. 
ANS.—That’s a hard question. Are there already 
apple orchards In the locality In which yon Intend 
to plant? If so, what varieties do best there? Apples 
do well In Arkansas and Missouri, and we know of no 
reason why they should not do well In Oklahoma. 
The American Pomologlcal Society recommends 
very few kinds for that part of the country; among 
them are Gilpin, Granite Beauty, Uoover, Haas. 
Jonathan and Limber Twig. Write to Stark Bros . 
Louisiana, Mo , tell them the location, soil, etc., and 
ask their advice. 
Propagating tree Cdttings.-IIow may hardy 
cuttings, such as plums and other fruits, be grown? 
Dover, Del. m. w. p. 
ANS.—It Is extremely dlftlcult to grow fruit cut¬ 
tings. and Impossible with most kinds, except under 
peculiarly favorable conditions. About the only 
ones that root readily are the quince and some cer¬ 
tain varieties like the KellTer and Le Conte pears. 
The cuttings should bo taken in the fall, and planted 
the same as currant or gooseberry cuttings. 
Killing Woodchucks.-How can I get rid of the 
ground-hogs that destroyed my cabbage and celery 
last year ? J- a. c. 
ANS —LastsprlngJ. S. Woodward gave The Uurai, 
readers a method of killing them which he said was 
cheap, easily applied and sure to kill. He takes two 
cookies, thin and about two Inches In diameter; 
smears one side of each with syrup or molasses, and 
dips the smeared sides Into arsenic, then sticks the 
two together. A pair of these poisoned cookies Is 
dropped Into each hole, taking care to push them 
down beyond the reach of any domestic animals. As 
the animals are migratory or wandering in their 
habits In summer. It may be necessary to repeat this 
dose occasionally. 
WHITE ONION Sets.—W here can I And some of the 
sets of the White Top onion ? They were Introduced 
some time ago by an Eastern seedsman, but I cannot 
find any of them at any of the seed houses, g. e. k. 
ANS.—Write to J. J. H Gregory & Sons, Marblehead, 
Mass.; W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, or Peter 
Henderson & Co., New York. They all advertise the 
White Multiplier sets. If these are not the ones 
meant, we do not know of any other. Do any of our 
readers 7 
ONIONS AND Cbleby.- 1. Where can I get the 
best Information, In condensed form, on the new 
onion culture; also on the new celery culture? 2. 
Would rich prairie sod, broken last spring and well 
pulverized and worked down, bo good for onions from 
seed? 3. Will the onion known as the Prlzetaker 
mature in central Kansas ? H. E. L. 
Beloit, Kan. 
ANS.—i. The New Onion Culture, by Greiner, 50 
cents; The New Celery Culture, 20 cents, from this 
office. 2. Yes, If thoroughly subdued. It will do, but 
land longer In cultivation would be better. 3. Yes. 
MOKE Dead Hens.-I. a Light Brahma hen was 
well, or seemed to be, at night, but in the morning 
her comb and head were dark purple, and matter 
ran from her bill. Her crop was full and soft, and 
she died In a day or two. What was the matter? 2. 
Another hen bad a bunch as large as a Bantam’s egg 
just below her hip, that was rough like a large wart, 
and bled every day. I had her killed. Another had 
a bunch on her neck, which looked raw. I put oil 
and carbolic acid on It, but her comb turned white 
and she died. What caused these bunches, and what 
was the remedy? reader. 
ANS.—1. This condition may have arisen from 
overfeeding, causing a disordered condition of the 
Internal organs. There Is no effective remedy for 
such oases except prevention. Or It may have been 
apoplexy caused by the hens becoming too fat. This 
may also be prevented, but seldom cured. 2. The 
hens had probably been Injured by Hying against 
some obstruction, or In some other way.

WHAT OTHEES SAY OF EE. PIEECE’S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVEEY: 
ILLS-p 
ASTHMA CURED. 
Mrs. ISAAC LOTMAN, of Thurlmo, Delaware 
Cn., Pa., writes: “My brother, Harry C. Troup, 
had boon sick for ton years with asthina. He was 
treated by ten ditlen-nt pliysicians, who said he 
could not bo cured. Ho had to sit up at night, he 
got so short of breath; ho suffered with fearful 
headaches and had a bad cough. After taking 
Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and 
‘ I’leasant Pellets,’ he did not get short of breath, 
and can sleep all night.”

AN F.MINENT PHYSICIAN OF ARKANSAS, TELLS OP 
80.MH UF,.MARKABLE CURES OF CONSUMI>TION. 
W. C. ROGERS, M. D., of Stamm, Da Fayette Cn., 
Ark; writes: “Consumption is hereditary in iny 
wife’s family; some have already died with the dis¬ 
ease. My wife has a sister, Mrs. E. A. Cleary, that 
was taken with consumption. She used your 
“Golden Medical Discovery,” and to the surprise 
of her many friends, she got well. My wife has 
also had hemorrhages from tho lungs, and her sis¬ 
ter insisted on her using the ‘Golden Medical Dis¬ 
covery.’ I consented, and it cured her. She lias 
had no symptoms of consumption for tho past six 
years. Pooplo having this disease can take uo bet¬ 
ter remedy. -

‘ Discovery.’ ” - 
SALT-RHEUM; FLESH CRACKED 
OPEN AND BLED. 
Miss T.OTTIE CLARK, River FalU, Pierco Co., 
TPi.s., writes: “I suffered for tiireo years from 
salt-rheum, and after having been unsuccessfully 
treated by a goo<l physician, I began tlie use of 
‘ Golden Medical Discovery.’ Tlio humor was in 
niy hands. 1 was obliged to keep a covering on 
tliem for months at a time, changing tho covering 
morning and night. Tho stinging, burning and 
itcliing sensation would be so iutenso tliat at timia 
it seemed as if I would go crazy. When I bent the 
lingers, the llesh would crack open and bleed. 11 is 
impossible for ino to describe tlie intmise pain and 
suffering which I endured niglit and day. After 
taking six bottles of tho ‘Discovery’ I was en¬ 
tirely cured.” - 
ECZEMA AND OLD SORES. 
FRED PESTLINE, of Alexander, Genesee Co., N. 
Y; writes: “ I liad eczema and ulcers on the legs.

lul enuugh to you for your ‘ Discovery ’ saved my 
life.” - 
RUNNING SORE. 
Mr.s. KITHN, of ()18 E. lOtli Street, New York 
City, writes: “I liad a running sore upon my neck, 
and liad it operated upon ttireo times, ami still it 
was not cured. I was also run down very much. 
Tliere was a decided change after using Dr.' I’ieree’s 
Golden Medical Discovery. I took a few bottles 
and was soon cured. Later my linsliand hud a 
lump behind ids ear; ho tried your medicine, and 
one bottle cured him.” 
WASTED TO A SKELETON. 
ISAAC E. DOWNS, Esq., of Spring Valley, Rock¬ 
land Co; N. y\, says, “ For three years I liad suf¬ 
fered I romtliose terrible diseases, consumption, and 
heart disease. Reforo taking Dr. Pierce's Golden 
Mc'dical Discovery I liad wasted away to a skele¬ 
ton ; could not sleep nor rest, and many time's 
wislied to dio to be out of my mi,s<‘ry. SG'p by 
step, tho signs and realities of returning health 
gradually but surely developed themselves wliilo 
taking the ‘ Discovery.’ To-day I tiii tlic scales at 
one hundred and eiglity-seven, and am well and 
strong.” - 
CONSUMPTION. 
Mrs. SARAH S. SNEED, of atn, Tredell Co., N. 
C., writes: “ My daugliter was first atiueked with 
pneumonia and jileurisy in very had form and 
was then takem with a very bad cou"!i, which kept 
growing worse and worse, until fliu!” / itwemiKl as 
thougli she liad consumption very U;d. 'I'lie phy¬ 
sicians prescribed cod liver oil, but to no iK'iieflt. I 
procured two bottles of Dr. IMerce’s Golden Medi¬ 
cal Discovery and she grew better. She liusn’t felt

Afiiin., writes: “One year ago I was given uo by 
my family physician and friends; all said I must
