Our Fruit Growers' Column, A COMPARISON OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL MANURES. Farming has been carried on for so long without tho aid of ariilicial manures that it is natural that I hero should havo been much prejudice against their use, but they have won their way into tbo favor of farmers until the trade in fo.tilizevs has groan lo enormous proportions, and very few fanners in wcsl- * ern Europe do entirely without ihem. In Ihis article I propoffe to consider the advantages or otherwise of their uso. The (peal weakness of farmyard man* ���.-,..: is that wo cannot verv readily control its contents, We might do llili to a limited exti nt if wo fed our animal, for the sole purpose of making manure, and, indeed, this was done not long a_;o in Britain when cattle wero f.lte.l, an I the farmer loiked for his cliief profit in the increased yield cf wheat on his land next year. By manuring witli "-* farmyard manure we almost, always are applying aome ingredient which the land does not require, indeed we may be doing a positive injury to the crop, for instance, if fruit livei aie making a very heavy growth of wood and leaves, it is an indication that their is plenty or possibly too much nitrogen present in the soil, which at the same time may ho very deficient in potash or phosphoric acid. N.w, if we attempt to supply the deficiency of the two alter dements of p Innt growth by giving more farmyard manure, tie at the same time have to give still moro nitrogen, whpreas by carefully applying the proper proportions of artificial manure vc might supp'y exactly what the tiees require. Oherri.s, especially the Bwoet varieties, Will not stand much manure, orrathct, much nitrogen; it causes too * rapid a -trowlh and the disease of gumming, but a liberal dressing of potash should result in uioie $d tiucr fruit, and a plioephulic maj**"i*e should have a good influ. uce on -The flavor and color of the fruit*. There are other considerations wliich fhuild help us in deciding whether to use farmyard or artificial manure. One of the chief determining factors is the position of lhe land and its accessibility, for farmyard manure is bulky and it ' wiil not pay ior a long haul uphill. It should bo u-cd principally where tho least labor is involved in handling it, and the concentrated artificial manures kept lo supplement tho soils In remote nnd inaccessible places. Any marked deficiency of any one element of plant food.is best supplied by an artificial manure, and the requirements of any crop that has a particular craving for some form of nourishment is also best supplied by an artificial manure. The enormous fieight charges ou artificial manures tend to make them very ex- pen.-ive here, and we must use tbem with extra care if we are to make them pay for their cost, we Bhall tend to use only the most concentrated forms as the freight rates will bo too high on some forms of manures tbat would be very desirable near the Coast. Nitrogen is hy far the mcyst expensive element of plant foid lo purchase, and probably we shall learn lo grow certain green crops, principally o'over, by ploughing in wliich we obtain a cheap supply .of this necessity oi plant life, b*it we shall always du well lo purchase a lilllo nitrate to -limu'ate lome ol 0111 cr*.p*. Either farmyard manure or a green crop pi lUghod in bas a brneficial effect apart from iis chemical value, as it improves the tisxture of the soil; besides thifi, by their dtcay in the soil, various ..mentations are set up and chemical acti in takes place, and by this chemical action the soil itSJlf ii acted upon and its mineral contents di*_*sted or dissolved and rendered more available for plant fool. .1. 0.

Editor Slocan Mining Review. Sir,���May I point out to the author of the manly and outspoken letter signed " Pro Bono Publico," which appeared in your last issue, two or three directions in which his zeal to reclaim drunkards might find employment. One is tho case of a man who was " Siwasbed " by the joint action of lho police and hotel-keepers of New Denver, and who has since found un asylum and plenty of booze to enable hiin to be frequently drunk a fow miles away. In case "Pro Bono Publico " lives in New Denver be might rxpend bis energies on at least two young asses who frequently make themselves the laughing stock of the town and are a nni.'aiK'C to the public, and who, like " Pro Bono Publico," have learned " to use the good things of lifo." May I also point out lo Ihe general public, that the cause of the death of Charles G irrety is one of the minor Incidents of this c introrersy, the real point of which is : aie lhe laws relating to the sale of liquor at present on the statute b oka of British Columbia to be ignored ? If these laws are wrong they should be amended or repealed, but whilst they are on the statute books they should, I believe, bo enforced. Yours "Pio bono asslnorum," J. C.

Dear Sir,���I must confess to a feel- it*g of surprise that your laat week's i.-stie did not c,,n ain a letter from Missioner Baynrs renouncing any claim to the author, hip of the verses published on Jan. 2nd. Does Misuloner Baynes really wish the public of the Slocan to behave that the verses are his own composition? It would appear eo, for on Dec. 20lh your paper announced that " a sea-onable poem by Missioner Baynes will appear next week," and on publication tho verses were prefaced by tho words: " Seasonable lines for end ol year 1007 by Key. Baynes. No contradiction has been forthcoming. I possess a collection ot children's hymns in wliich three of these presumably original verses appear word for word. This collection was published in England in 1879, and the origin of the verses is there stated to be American. As for thc remaiulng two verses I am not prepared to say anything beyond the fact that the whole five read as the composition of one min���even if they are not, Mi'sionor Baynes ia guilty of del berate plagiarism (not to use an uglier word) in using tbe three I can epeak definitely of. 1 should like to ask Missioner Baynes if he knows the epithet by which men designate one who appropriates to his own use the property of others.

"Bridget," she asked, entering the kitchen, where an energetic Irish woman was vigorously plying an iron, "Bridget, how do you wash Willie's flannels?" "Sure, ma'am, jest as 1 wash ivery thing else, with plenty of hot water and soap, a good rubbin" on the board, and a pipin' hut iron," repeated the girl complacently. "Oh, Bridget, Bridget!" aaid her mistress with a sigh���for ruined shirts and the money she could not ask to be refunded. "Don't you know that is all wrong���every single thing you did?" "Wrong, is it? Sure an' I've washed flannels long afore yez were born, an' its the furrst time I've iver been tolt I didn't know bow," and Bridget sniffed Jndignantly. "But, Bridget, just look at these expensive shirts I bought Billy not a fortnight ago!" use lukewarm: water "Well, an' what's wrong with them. It's mighty dirty they were, and not the speck of a smut is there on them now���an' it's hard rubbin' it took, too, ma'am, to get them that clean.'' "Yes, but see, they are stiff as a board, and so shrunken that they must be thrown away." Bridget, who was more ignorant than sullen, looked a trifle abashed, and said apologetically: "Weel, ma'am, it's sorry I am If the shirts don't suit yez���perhaps you'd be tellin' me how to do it better." "Certainly I will, Bridget. After all. there has only been one shirt spoiled and I'm sure you'll uo better next time. "In the first place, you should not have used hot water���lukewarm is the only heat that does not shrink flannels. What is more important, every water through which you wash and rinse them should be of exactly the same temperature. "Then you should not have soaped them at all. Instead, you should have shaved up some pure white soap, dissolved It In hot water and added enough to the water in the tub to make a strong suds. If, as you say, ' Willie's flannels were so soiled, you on the back of the stove with a little water, adding more as it cooks, until tt becomes a clear, soft jelly. 'J hen bottle it and keep some place where it will not freeze and harden." "Sure, ma'am, but it sounds a quare way to wash, but I'll he Iryin' il next wake. Like the blankets, now, do yez be just eleanin' them without washin', too'."' "Well, Bridget, you can use hotter water for blankets, but you must not rub them. Just sop them up and down in a tub half lull of strong soapsuds, and two or three tablespoonfuls of dissolved borax. After you have them weli washed in one tuliful of suds, put them in another and repeat the sopping. Then rinse in a clean water, run through a wringer that has heen made very loose, and hang out in the wind and sun tu dry. Pin them well to the line so they do not sag out of shape noi fall to the ground with their own weight. PULL BLANKETS INTO SHAPE "When the blankets are entirely dry, bring them Into the laundry and get cook to help you pull them till they are perfectly straight on the edges, then fold them neatly. Some people press their blankets by covering them with a white muslin aud put-ting them between a large book or a letter press, but they really get smooth enough by careful pulling." "And how's it about the temperychoor of the blanket waters? Must they be the same, like as for Willie shirts?" "Yes, indeed, Bridget. I'm glad you thought of that, for it is one of thc most important things about blanket washing. "Many people nowadays send their blankets to be cleaned. They certainly do come home looking just like new, for they are all combed, you see; but as It Is very expensive, I'm going to let you try those nice white ones with the blue border that are on Willie's bed. I'm sure if you do just as I've told you, they will be just as nice as if 1 sent them out, for you art such a good laun- c5o^ Them In Tepid Viy/er? w/Z/i Sh&vetfSoap might have added a tablespoonful of borax dissolved In a little hot water to every four gallons of the water, or two tablespoonfuls of household ammonia may be used instead. "You must remember, though. Bridget, when I put in Willie's little pink and blue flannel suits, to use the borax instead of the ammonia, or those pretty suits of which ho Is so proud will be all faded. "Then you should nor have used a board at all, for nothing thickens flannel like hard rubbing;, Instead, you should have shaken the garments out well to get rid of as much dust and dirt as possible, and afterward put them in the flrst suds and simply squeeze und sop them up and down and turn them over In the water. Rub just as little as you can and get the flannels out of the water as quickly as possible. "You can souse them through two or three suds, if you must, and then through clear water, With a little bluing in it; but. remember, all these waters must he of just the same temperature. "Some people put their fine flannels through a wringer, shake them and hang them out In the air to get almost Jnsfeatfof a "Another thing, Bridget, never use a yellow soap on flannels, for the resin in it is bad for woolens. And never rub any soap on a garment itself; instead, you might make a soap jelly and keep It on hand. , "This is easily done by putting soap dresa, isridget, In everything else, that I'm sure your flannels will look lovely." "Well, It do be seemin' a quare way to wash, but I'll Ihry it next wake, ma'am; so that blessid Willie don't be lookln' like a stuffed, rld-faced Paddy, as ho did this mornin'. ma'am." The Housemothers in Weekly Conference 1AM a Tennesseesn. and I have always been accustomed to the lavish table of the Southerner of comfortable circumstances. Since I have kept house in Iowa, as a married woman, und paid cash for everything, I find 1 huve to live very differently from what was then my habit. For example, I think one hot bread ut a meal "a decent sufficiency/1 and my Tennessee visitors think I huve "grown to be a veritable Yankee." . am trying to bear up under the dreadful charge, and hope to live it down in time. What I have come to you ifbout Is my table expenses, My husband gives me $9 a week for tiie table alone. On that I feed my husband, two children (IS und 6 years old), a maid and myself, and have my father with us always for breakfast. Our breakfast consists of coffee, a cereal and cream and some kind of cakes and waffles. For dinner���and I am so fortunate as to have my husband come home to this meal���wa have meat, two vegetables and either a salad or dessert. Our supper consists of meat, potatoes and some hot dish, BUch as celery loaf, fried mush, etc. I have never bought groceries in large quantities, but 1 am beginning to believe that it Is the best way. When one keeps house on an allowance it is Impossible, for me, at hast, to buy staples by wholesale. I am u little discouraged trying to come out even. Would you kindly tell me If you consider nie extravagant, and what you think of buying things in quantities? A DISCIPLH (Koi'kuK. Iowa) So far from thinking you extravagant, J consider that you do wonderfully well to feed five people and what may he reckoned as a third of an adult, on your allowance. Your menu for one day shows that they are not underfed. You are a good manager to give them meat twice a day without exceeding your limit, Now for the gist of your lelter. Tt cannot be denied that It is economical��� in the long run���to do one's purch' sing by wholesale, when the purse ls long too. To advise a housekeeper who must keep her table expenses within $r> or $10 a week to lay In flour by the barrel, and sugar by the hundred weight, and butter by the firkin, is more than absurd. It is unkind and disheartening. Thirty-odd years ago. during a residence of some years abroad, [ kept house in Paris and in Rome, and stored up much wisdom of a practical type which has gtOOd me in good stead since. Apartment life was almost unknown In America at that date. When I found in my pretty suite of rooms in Paris, fitted up for family use, no storeroom��� not so much as a bin for vegetables, or fruit by the quantity���I was dismayed. A dear friend who wus living abroad to educate her children came to my help. From her I gathered one secret of culinary und economic successes of the French housemother of r oderate means. She buys from day to day just What she means to use within the next twenty-four hours. At the end of that time not a morsel of food is left in kitchen or cupboard, and not a crumb has been wasted. There is no opportunity for pilfering, for the mistress can account for every bit and sup. 1 have said but lately that it Is comparatively easy for a woman to keep down running expenses if she does her own work. The economy of wholesale purchasing is obvious in her case, supposing always that she can raise the money for the original outlay without pinching it out of her allowance a dime at a time. She will not throw half-a- dozen potatoes into the garbage pail "because there is a barrel of them in the cellar"���as a Milesian cook pleaded as her excuse for a similar act when her mistress chanced to espy -the discarded potatoes. Her hand is no heavier with butter for the thought of tbe pot of it, bought directly from a farmer at Ave cents a pound less than she could buy It from the corner grocery. She does not burn bread-crusts in tlie stove because of the barrel of flour laid in when flour was down, or���as I caught a cook in 'lhe act of doing���kindle the morning fire with a saiuerful of sugar. "Sure, an' it's a dale safer nor karri- sene!" was her explanation of the astounding performance, "There is tbem What makes no bones o' pour ���' a cupful of lie on the lire of a niorniu'." Your maid of all���or of any���work may be depended upon to eut, or in some manner to make way with more foodstuffs than any member of your family proper, a growing boy not excepted. She Is. invariably, "a light eater." according to her own showing. But accept witli what philosophy you can summon to your aid the fact that nobody except your very own self will care for your Interests wisely and well. In brief, then, so long as you must furnish your table upon an allowance that just suffices to do the work by the exercise, on your part, of watchful, Ingenious management, buy stores in small quantities, continuing your practice of cash payment. To pay as you go may pare down your resources closely, but the habit addeth no sorrow withal. A New Use for Stocking Tops As I have had many helpful .suggestions from your Corner, I hereby pass one on to lhe next member who has little ones to dress and no money to throw away. My sister Writes to me that she makes the "dandiest" drawers for her little girl out nf stocking tops. Cut the stocking legs down to the length of the Bcut and sew th-.ni together, Then open them on each hide and put a band on* the front and the buck. Just as the knitted drawers one buys at the shops are made. They should come uo lower than the knee. The long stockings are drawn over the drawers, and, behold! all Is snug from toes to waist. The above suggestion is from a mother whose means are ample, but who wisely considers thrift a virtue and wastefulness a sin. It may help some mother who is limited as to means and clever with her needle. L. S. V. (Irving Park, 111.). As the cold weather is not many months off, when knitted underwear will be needeu, the prudent mother will do well in laying aside stockings that are sound as to the legs and worn in the feet. When heels and toes have become a mass of darns, the hose are not pleasant wearing, and even thrifty women consign them to the rag-bag. Here is a new use for them. If the grown women of the family wear silk stockings, they may be utilized thus and form dainty garments which could not be bought new for $2 and %\\ apiece. Wants Clematis Roots T have noticed several requests for a remedy for bedbugs, I have found that car- bulb; acid and turpentine are an effective preventive. To 2Q rents' worth ot the add add E cents' worth of turpentine. A snort 'hue ago we purchased our home and moved Into It last spring. Not having dreamed of such a horror, you amy imagine that we were distressed beyond expression to find the place almost ready to walk away by While such a protection undoubtedly saves ice, it does not save food as well, which Is, a,fter all, the ralson d'etre of a refrigerator. Few women need to be told to always keep the doors tight shut, but not every one realizes tbo absolute importance of keeping a strainer over the water outlet on the inside. This not merely prevents the escape of cold air, but does away with the possibility of Insects creeping Up the drain pipe. This matter of Insects, ants, snails and so forth ln a refrigerator is a serious one. Theoretically. It should be Impossible; but practically, where maids are constantly changing and careless and mistresses are neglectful of the overseeing eye, horrible aro the results. Absolute cleanliness is Imperative. It should be cleaned twice a week, oftener if possible. Everything must be taken out und given a thorough washing and then wiped perfectly dry. In most places where market days are observed, Wednesday and Saturday are an excellent time for this overhauling before thu new supplies are put In. KEEP ALL POODS COVERED Contrary to the usual belief that the best way to clean a refrigerator is to use boiling water, plain or mixed with soda, cold water and ammonia is preferable, as the hot water, even with tho greatest care, rots the wood. Bay particular attention to the druln pipe, running a flexible wire through It every cleaning day. Another precaution against ants��� ��� which, If once allowed to get In, aro almost impossible to eradicate���Is to stand the legs of a refrigerator or vegetable safe in cups filled with water. That insects will not cross. This is a fact well understood in tropical countries and should be better known here. Never put warm foods into a refrigerator, or moisture and obnoxious odors are sure to abound. Keep all food tightly covered, moreover, especially milk, butter ana eggs, which quickly absorb Impurities. There are refrigerators guaranteed odorless, but lids are a wise precaution, nevertheless. An' Ir&snfcyu* \3it u/mme 0>&rpGnte7*in& ^k&mk 3__F*5& Itself, "they" were so plentiful. I used the quantity of Ingredients designated zealously. It is now two weeks since we have seen a single "creeper." Of course, I have done a great deal of hard work with the wretches, such as plastering hides in the Wills and stripping off paper, painting and scrubbing, etc. One cunnot depend upon the acid alone, A vast deal of labor and constant cure are required to cleanse the premises thoroughly. I ulso burned sulphur to purify rooms. My house is not yet set- ��� tied, nor shall I feel at home until we ure free from the terrible pests. I hope this may be of use tn housemothers who really wish to be neat and to rid their homes of thc invaders. Perseverance is the true secret of success where bedbugs are concerned. Now for a petition: is there any one of Our Family who has good, healthy clematis louts und Who will give u root to one who wishes to beautify her home? 1 huve been unsuccessful wltb the roots I huve bought. Mrs. II. C. U. (Buffalo, N. Y.). Will you kindly let me have your address in full? I am sure the roots will be offered to you, and I should like to direct intelligently those who apply to me for your name and home. "Buffalo" is good as far us it goes, but it falls short of explici'tness. Diabetes Dietary Asked For Wu have a diabetes patient in our fatally and lind it hard to keep him satiutied on Uie dietary allowed to the sufferer from that disease. Wi* have a list of vegetables, etc, allowed by bis physlciun, hut I bave thought perhaps you could suggest some tempting combination of dishes; ulso some desserts that may please IiIb capricious appetite. We get very good gluten bread. Mrs. M. A. It, (Minneapolis), You have set a bard task for me. I know the caprices of the sufferer's appetite. Your mention of gluten bread brings back to me the anxious endeavor of months to induce a beloved invalid to learn to like this, the only bread she wns allowed to cat. Sweets of all kinds were forbidden, and most fruits. In the case I speak of we found junket, sightly sweetened and flavored with vanilla; loppered milk, cottage cheese, eaten with cream, acceptable substitutes for the desserts enjoyed by well people. We toasted the gluten bread and made of It baked cream toast, which was a degree less distasteful titan the plain bread. WITH the fashion of the da* to lay ull our refrigerator woes on the grasping ice dealer, few women have the judicial trend of mind that Will permit even a tiny peep at the -other Bide. Are housekeepers never at fault when ice molts unconscionably soon, aud Sunday's chickens must he taken out of the refrigerator in the "wee sma' hours" to be treated lo copious washings with vinegar and water? It is much easier to rail at under- weighing and overcharging of dealers than to see to it that nothing warm is ever put into the refrigerator; that it stands in exactly the right place to insure the least w ste in ice. In the lirst place, there is an art in buying a refrigerator. Those of us who must put up with the old-fashioned ones that have seen years of service must learn to make the most of them; but when the happy hour comes that a new one Is to be purchased, It is well to be forearmed with a slight knowledge of the subject. Now, as a refrigerator is a distinctly practical article of housefurnishing, use, and not looks, is the first consideration. Most women, so far as appearance is concerned, would unhesltai ugly declare for white enamel cases and sanitary, glass Shelves; but, alas! icemen, with many a hundred-pound lamp to drop in the course of a day, are node, too gentle in the process, and the mostx glistening enamel has a fashion of cracking, White glass becomes exceedingly brittle with cold. So, It is safer. on the whole, to fall back on a good zinc-lined refrigerator, with a covering of soft wood that will not warp. Though the zinc may corrode in time, It is not dangerous to the food contained within it, as many believe. FILL FROM THE FRONT See to it also that the Ice compartment may be tilled from the front, Instead of the top, for tbe constant strain of huge pieces of ice being dropped to a shelf will soon loosen . ie parts; moreover, the man who brings the ice is entitled to some consideration, nnd he finds shoving of his wares much easier than lifting it to the top of a refrigerator nnd then carefully letting it drop. The ice chest, so long in favor, while cheaper to buy and more economical in the running than the refrigerator��� since with less space co cover it Is colder on less ice than any other kind ���is not so convenknt. It has no circulation ln the flrst place, which means quicker mustiness, and, secondly, two lids to lift and every shelf to be taken out each time Ice la put in is distinctly a trial. The newer chests, however, have a separate compartment for ice, which is a decided improvement, Then see to It that there Is a drain pipe instead of a tank: the former allows tree clreulatirr of cold, dry air through every compartment, while the latter causes a certi In dampness. The light, nickel-plated woven wire shelves are more easily cleaned and permit freer circulation of air than any other kind, either galvanized iron or wood. The latter absorb food odors. After a refrigerator is bought its disposal must he carefu'ly considered. The ideal spot for it *s undoubtedly a little-used outer kitchen that Is easy of access. Tn default of that, have It In the kitchen proper. "Ah, but the heat!" some one remonstrates. A good refrigerator properly packed with a dead air space should not be affected by heat. Even so, if the ice should melt a little more rapidly than you like, it is far better than to keep It in th*. cellar to be Injured by dampness or In the open air ���even though under a roof���where it is exposed to the w.ather. Whatever the chosen place, see to It that the refrigerator stands perfectly level. In filling a new refrigerator see that from twelve to twenty-four hours elapse after lhe ice has been put In before using. Natural, rather than artificial, ice produces greater cold; but whichever Is used, It Is a matter of economy to keep the compartment well filled. As it molts about a third of its capucity daily, it is cheaper to buy large pieces several times a week than small chunks every day. Ice should always bo ..shed before It ls put in. and, oontrnry to the general belief, should not he covered with newspaper, as the cold air cannot circulate. The surest way never to have warm dishes put in a refrigerator is to Invesl In a vegetable or meat safe. The housekeeper who has always kept her hoi soups, meats and desserts standing round till they are cool, in constant danger of flies and dust, will never know true comfort until she indulges in one of these useful contrivances. They nre very simple in construction; indeed, so simple that they may easily be home-made, by any one with a knack at carpentry. They are nothing more than a plain wooden frame tilled with wire netting and furnished with shelves and a door. Sometimes they are double, with an upper and lower compartment, and are made either to hang or stand. The latter are found more convenient, as a rule. An ingenious bit of house-carpentering, planned and executed for a bit of a house where room was v4, a high premium, was a tiny refrigerator, which was hidden away under a trap-door in the kitchen, and was easily drawn np Into place. Both trap-door and refrigerator were made air- and dust- aud moisture-proof. pyMARioi*-* Loaf Cora Bread. (By Request.) TWO cupfuls of cornmeal and half us much wheat flour, sifted twice with a teaspoonful of salt and two of baking powder. Two and a half cupfuls of milk. Three eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately. One tablespoonful, each, of butter and of white sugar.

Beat this into the flour and meal slowly, at first, then hard for three minutes, to Insure thorough mixing. Pour Into a greased mould with a closely fitting top, set in a pot of boiling water and keep it at a steady boil for two hours. Turn out on a plate and sot in the oven for l]\e minutes to dry off.
