When the doctor is ten 
or twenty miles away, it’s 
a mighty comforting feel¬ 
ing to know you’ve got a 
jar of Musterole handy in 
the house. 
For first aid in many ill¬ 
nesses—for relief from colds, 
congestions, achesand pains 
—Musterole is uncommonly 
effective. 
It is better than a mustard 
plaster—gives quicker re¬ 
lief, and there’s no fuss, 
muss or blister. 
Just rub a little of this clean, 
white ointment on the aching or 
congested spot. Almost instantly 
you feel a pleasant warm tingle, 
then in a moment or two a sooth¬ 
ing, delightful coolness; but way 
down deep underneath the cool¬ 
ness, good old Musterole gener¬ 
ates a peculiar heat which dis¬ 
perses congestion and sends the 
pain away. 
Musterole is made with oil of 
mustard and a few home simples. 
Try it for coughs, colds (it often 
prevents pneumonia), bronchitis, 
sore throat, croup, stiff neck, 
neuralgia, Ik dache, rheumatism, 
lumbago, pains and aches of the 
back, sore or strained muscles, 
and chilblains. 
Many doctors and nurses recommend it.

Fruit Notes from Missouri 
The Grape Crop. —The grape crop of 
1920 was universally above the average 
throughout this section. The oriole, too, 
that great and single depredator of this 
crop, was blessedly absent, as it was last 
year, except in small number. If the last 
two years may be taken as proof that this 
bird will never again appear in large 
numbers, I shall be most profoundly 
thankful. There are several varieties of 
birds that could well be spared in toto 
from the land. There are bird pests just 
as there are animal pests, and it would bo 
well if they were exterminated. With 
less competition more useful kinds of 
birds would no doubt multiply. 
Notes ox Varieties. —Again Eclipse 
showed itself too little in advance uf those 
much finer grapes, Campbell and Moore, 
to make its culture of profit. Early Daisy 
was especially fine, with solid, compact, 
perfect hunches, but it also is outclassed 
by the big two above mentioned. I should 
say that Moore’s is the grape for the fam¬ 
ily and market garden; Campbell’s for the 
amateur or perhaps the large grower who 
is willing to make a study of its demands 
and respond to them. Green Mountain 
and Brighton came up with their usual 
heavy crops. "Worden ripened more even¬ 
ly than usual, but cracked badly. El¬ 
vira. that generally cracks till worthless, 
did not crack at all; such are the vagar¬ 
ies of the crop. Xinta surpassed even its 
fine record of the past in perfection of 
bunch and weight of yield. The Herbert 
did well, but while its fruit is of the 
largest size and highest quality, it falls 
short iu yield and in size of bunch. It 
must be owing to these two weaknesses 
that it does not grow in popularity. 
Wyoming is always present with a full 
crop, no rot and a beautiful shade of red. 
The King grape is as large and showy as 
Worden, hut it falls away below it in 
quality. Were it not for this, this grape 
might gain a great reputation, for its 
looks would make it a splendid seller 
King Philip won’t pollinate and for that 
reason is a failure. I note that pistillates 
do not seem to depend on the proximity 
of certain varieties for pollination. 
Throughout a long row of a certain pis¬ 
tillate I see no difference in the filling out 
of the bunch, although its row is bordered 
by a great mixture of varieties. 
Late Maturity. —Muench and Fern, 
as usual, brought up the real of the crop, 
carrying it on two weeks further. These 
two kinds I now consider indispensable 
as late grapes to prolong the season. Both 
are extra vigorous in growth, demanding 
three or more feet more than ordinary 
kinds in the row. Fern is larger in berry 
and better iu quality, but this year for 
the first time cracked some and is not as 
good a keep as Muench. Muench has 
very long and fine looking clusters, with 
berries running in size from the Dela¬ 
ware to the Green Mountain. One fact 
borne in upon me is that no matter how 
great a growth of wood a vine may niake. 
it is easv to overestimate its capacity to 
mature fruit. It is certainly proper to 
demand more fruit, by leaving more cane, 
from a very thrifty vine than from a mod¬ 
erate grower, but there are well defined 
limits to its capacity to ripen, and any 
error in passing those limits will be ex¬ 
posed oy a great mass of fruit and the 
inability of the vine to ripen it.

Trouble with Old Garden 
I had trouble with my garden last 
Summer. The neighbors tell me it is 
blight. Part of the onions looked as 
though thev were scalded, and died when 
small. The cabbage looked the same; 
turned white-looking, and only a few 
stalks headed. They were hitter, unfit 
for use, and the heads soon turned black 
on the outside. Peas were the same; 
when they commenced to fill turned yel¬ 
low and died. Beans got full of brown 
specks, until they were all brown ; cannot 
be used, and some of the tomato vines 
looked as though they were scalded and 
died early in Summer. We use stable 
manure, ashes and some hen manure. The 
garden is an old one. The County Agent 
told a neighbor she must keep out such 
tbines as blight and make 
Is it the ground or seed? 
of my seed. Some advise 
Augusta. W. Va. 
It has been my experience that “old 
gardens” get too much manure and not 
enough rotation of crops. In this section 
the size of the gardens is limited, and 
certains crops, such as potatoes, sweet 
corn, cabbage and peas, may occupy fully 
one-half the available space. In this 
way the same ground is used for the same 
crop at least every other year, and with 
each planting diseases and insects multi¬ 
ply. From the description given there are 
probably a number of diseases present 
peculiar to each separate plant. Manur¬ 
ing the soil heavily year after year tends 
to make a sour soil and tends to spread 
certain diseases, such as scab on potatoes. 
Hen manure is very strong, and if not 
used with caution will burn the tender 
roots and cause sickly plants. As a 
remedy I would suggest either seeding to 
clover or Alfalfa for two years, after a 
heavy application of lime, or planting 
buckwheat or rye and loosening up the 
soil thoroughly. The gardens in most 
small towns are overworked, and should 
he seeded down for a period for best re¬ 
sults. T. u. T.
