BUSINESS BITS. 
The Vermont Farm Machine Co., of 
Bellows Falls, Vt., has found it necessary 
to make large additions to the already 
large factory to meet the demands for the 
popular U. S. Cream Separators and other 
dairy apparatus. 
Orangeville Agricultural Works, Or¬ 
angeville, Pa., announce a special October 
offer for their Daisy fodder cutters and 
crushers. This firm also makes thrashers, 
tread powers, engines, etc. Catalogue 
may be had for the asking. 
Whoever gets a copy of the catalogue 
issued by Sprout, Waldron & Co., of 
Muncy, Pa., will find in it a number of 
machines out of which the farmers will 
reap profit. They have been 35 years in 
the business. Their mills, covering every¬ 
thing from the finish roller process patent 
flouring mills down, are found in all sec¬ 
tions of the country. If you are interest 
ed write for the company’s catalogue. 
Dishorning of cattle is a subject which 
by reason of its advantages, must con¬ 
tinue to be agitated until it is the rule 
instead of the exception. The ease and 
readiness with which dishorning is now 
accomplished through the Keystone dis- 
liorner, manufactured by M. T. Phillips, 
of Pomeroy, Pa., has had much to do with 
making the practice popular. Mr. Phillips 
has recently issued a very interesting 
booklet upon the dishorner, telling of its 
merits and showing how it is regarded by 
a large number of users. Write him for 
it at above address. 
Candles for Brooders. —We have never 
had any experience with candles in chicken 
brooders. On first thought, it would ap¬ 
pear that it would not prove very satisfac¬ 
tory, owing to the wearing away of the 
candle, consequently changing the relative 
position of the blaze to the bottom of the 
brooder heater. Also, a candle is of a fixed 
degree of heat, as we see no good way of 
making it either warmer or cooler. How¬ 
ever. for moderate weather, it might work 
satisfactorily. We would be glad to see it 
tried, and possibly may make a test of the 
matter ourselves another Spring. There 
is no doubt that a candle would prove 
more economical for heating a brooder, 
but there would be more or less danger 
from fire, owing to its open, unprotected 
blaze; but this would also be true of 
various other heating devices, with oil, 
when there are no chimneys used to 
protect the blaze. w. e. adair.

CATARRH CAN BE Cl’RED. 
Catarrh is a kindred ailment of consumption, long 
considered Incurable-, and yet there is one remedy 
that will positively cure catarrh in any of its stages 
For many years this remedy was used by the lute Dr. 
Stevens, a widely noted authority on all diseases of 
the throat and lungs. Having tested its wonderful 
curative powers in thousands of cases, and desiring 
to relieve human suffering. I will send free of charge 
to all sufferers from Catarrh. Asthma, Consumption, 
and nervous diseases, this recipe, in German, French 
or English, with full directions for preparing and 
using. Sent by mail by addressing, with stamp, 
naming this paper, W. A. NOYES, 847 Powers Block, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
It is surprising what a little of the right kind of 
medicine will do. Small doses of Dr. D. Jayne's 
Expectorant cure many of the worst colds.— Adv, 
Important to APPLE Shippers. 
Our experience has taught us that in many 
cases unsatisfactory pr.ces are caused by im¬ 
proper packing of apples. Below we give full 
instructions how to pack. If these instructiot s 
are carried out thoroughly, apples w.ll never 
arrive slack packed, unless they rot en route. 
Buyers demand apples packed solid in an at¬ 
tractive manner, in new- apple barrels, or clean, 
secono-nand flour barrels. 
Before taking the head out of your barrel, drive 
bulge hoops down tight, and tack two or three 
nails in each hoop. Then nail the top hoop of 
one end with three or four nails driving the nails 
so they will enter the hear. Turn barrel over 
and take out the other bead; clinch or break off 
nails that show inside the barrel. 
Plate the face of the barrel with two rows of 
apples, stem end down, selecting these apples 
carefully, have them i niform in size, high color, 
perfectly smooth and free from worm holes, 
wormy blow ends or other defects. Then fill up 
the barrel without bruisingthe fruit,shake down 
gently but thoroughly after each basketful, fill 
the barrel two or three inches above the chime 
in fact fill so full that the head has to be pressed 
in with a levt r or screw barrel press; do not be 
afraid to mash last tier of apples. Then fasten 
in head, d.ive hoops down tight, and nail with 
four oj five nails. Turn barrel over and stencil 
the variety it contains on plated eDd.
