The Satanma Oranyre. Here is what The Oberlin News says of the Satsuma orange: "It Is the most profitable fruit grown in the Southern States, particularly in tha eoast portions. There Is not a family that could not have all the orange needed for family use. Larere rirofita could be realized by cultivating them for the markets of the world. Therg has been grown from 422 trees set on 2 1-6 acres of land, at 4 years old, oranges that netted a profit of $800 to the owner.

The Satsuma orange is a dwarf tree, compared to the Louisiana orange, and should there come a freez and cut the trees down they will, if the precaution has been taken to banK dirt around the body a foot or more, come out and make a top in one year. There need not be, or would not be, a freeze in twenty years of which tha Injurious effects could not be avoided at a very small expense." FOR THE llttl ISEKEliPEK.

The paste should ba laid over the surface and allowed tc dry thoroughly, after which it rmi3t be brushed off.

Another method Is tc moisten a flannel with water, dip It Into finely crushed table salt and rutj gently over the damaged places. The latter method is the more desirable for hnooth surfaces. The only thing with which to clean Indian mattings is salt, as this alon will not discolor them- Slightly moisten a coarse cloth in water and- dip it in coarse salt; ruh the matting.
