Munyon's, 53d and Jefferson Sis., Philadelphia, Pa. World's Fruit Basket. H?elZiods aazt? Profits ixi Orchards cf the ZScrthxvest. Writing in Collier"?, or. "The World's Fruit Basket," Richard Floyd Jolies tells of the growth and romance of fruit farming iu the "West. Mr. Jones says that "though Marcus Whit man had driven his gospel wagon into Oregon at the time Fremont sec out to blaze thc continental trail that re sulted in the conquest of California in 1S4G, the real acquisition of our Pacific Coast carne when' the Luelling brothers, with patriotic heroism, car ried their apyH? trees in Oregon in 1S47, and the Argonauts trailed their picks and puas over the continent's rocky spine in the memorable year of '49." The Luelllngs were sons^of a Welsh Quun.er planter and slavehold er in the Carolinas, who through force cf conviction moved his family and negroes to Indiana, where he lib erated his slaves and hired their labor for fi.ced wages. The sons became in terested in fruit nurseries and drifted across the three "I" States, leaving orchards behind them in Indiana, mi nc is and Iowa, finally reaching Ore gon and the Willamette Valle}'. Mr. Jones continues: The advocates o' a separate Pacific republic, who were won over on grounds of rational sentiment by Starr King and his lieutenants, were bound to the Eastern States by strong ribbons of steel in thc early days of Grant's administration. And in 1SS3 the rail road to Portland went through, and soon followed the Northern Pacific to Tacoma. This opened the market. Before this time Florida was our or ange State, and oranges were a lux ury. Californi? soon delivered an abundance, and oranges became a, common, though not 'an inexpensive fruit. Before this time Michigan and Wisconsin were regarded as good ap ple-States in the Central West, and Nova Scotia and New York apples were placed on the tables of the ''lite. The railroads soon put all these apples in the pie pan. The world got a good taste of Pa cific fruit. The departments of Agri culture and the Interior at Washing ton sent special agents West to be es corted by Mr. Smith over these won derful budding fruit lands. Hood River became the University of the Apple, and vc its dean Germany, France, Russia, Argentina. China and Japan sent special students to be to tored in the fine arts of apple grow ing. Eastern produce merchants sent buyers West. The Niagara orchard ists were puzzled that a bushel box of apples, hauled more than 3000 miles, should, bring a better price than a barrel of apples raised at home. The large, luxurious, costly crated cher ries from the Dalles of the Columbia sold when the.basket cherries of the East went to waste. The peaches and plums and grapes that came out of this wonderland induced many a Michigan and Delaware grower to correspond with land agents a conti nent's width away. And California gave us orange crops that were con stant and abundant. ?f the chances for a poor man in Washington and Oregon Mr. Jones says: Success here, as even'where, de pends upon th'e man, not upon his money. The man who rents4 land among the fruit fields is welcomed and assisted the first year, and per haps the second. Thc third he is to erated, the fourth sees his credit fall, and the fifth counts him as a failure. Good, unbroken fruit land can be pur ohased, according to location, from $50 tc $100 an acre. This can be bought for half cash and half credit. If the man is poer he can clear it him self, and five acres ought, in th? rourse of si:: years, to return him from $2000 to S3000 a year. If he can acquire ten acres, so much the ' etter. From the first year he can do better than $200 au acre with strawberries and garden truck planted between his trees. If one has money enough to buy his land, pay for its clearing and planting, a little con stant and intelligently directed work will accomplish great results. The superintendent of schools at Dayton, Wash., planted his savings in or chards until he had 3 00 acres in per fect, mature trees. He was not a hor ticulturist, but his supervision of this large orchard was his recreation. He now nets annually over $?10,000. A Tacoma society woman indulged her self in a sixteen-acre orchard at El lensburg. She soon found herself harvesting more than 7500 boxes of apples a year, which sell for about $17,000. There are many in the Ya kima and Hood River valleys that do even better than this, but the average will not run as high. If an orchard is intelligently and skilfully handled it ought to yield from S700 to $900 an acre, and if the earning falls be low an average of $400 to the acre there is probably something serious the matter. The railroads that have brought San Francisco nearer to New York than Boston was to Philadelphia a century ago have been the cementing agents of our national life, says Mr. Jones. The economic and political is sues of Providence and Pittsburg are those also of Seattle and Spokane. We are a homogenous people. The scenes along the Willamette in'Ore gon and the shadowy St. Joe in Idaho are strikingly like much o? Wisconsin and Massachusetts, except that there are the great backgrounds of lofty pines and snowcapped mountains that the East does not possess. So with the people. They cannot escape the impress of their environment. They are less cultivated than the East, but hotter educated. They have large ness of conception, boldness of action, lack of provincialism and a venture some spirit. The writar adds: The Pacific fruit growers are begin ning to work collectively. Legislat ures may make it a felony to ship a wormy apple across the State line who in New York or London is going to prosecute? But the buyer of the worm doesn't go back to that kind of a bos again. Thc reputation of a whole valley can bc killed through the carelessness or trickery of one dishonest shipper. The Kentucky slo gan, "United we stand, divided we. . fall," ls becoming a commercial con viction in the West. An honest and attractive package is the best agent in any trade. It was this truth that inspired the fruit growers of Wenat chee, Missoula, the towns of the Ya kima Valley, Hood River and others to organize their fruit growers into unions. The apples no longer went 'forth under the meaningless names of Ben Brown or John Jones, but with the guarantee of a great and wealthy valley. No grower wan al lowed to pack his own apples. The associations did it. and did it with conscientious care. "Find a bad ap ple and we'll give you the car," was their confident assertion. Eastern tracers discovered that there was a valley standard. It was no longer necessary to send buyers West. They could order the standard produces by wire. Ben Brown and John Jones discovered that the surest way to sell their fruits at'the highest prices was to standardizo and get the valley stamp on their bo::. But the union idea did not stop here. The associa tions set cat to educate their mem bers along the line of their occupa tion. The unions make liberal use of the telegraph-wires, and so make a more intelligent distribution of wares than an individual could do. They .set out to discover new markets. They married the orchard ist to the horti cultural schools of the State agricul tural colleges and made of a trade a scientific profession. They taught caution and conservation. They showed thai, though apple trees may live 150 years, and though their val ley lands were richer than the Asiatic province of Shansi that has been farmed for forty centuries, the orig inal orchards of the Luellings had gone into decay through carelessness and neglect even in the virgin rich ness of the bank of the Willamette. But the fruit growers' unions are do ing most as ? school of applied ethics. They erase jealousies and suspicion and establish a trust and appreciation of neighbors and a spirit of fraternal ism and patriotism. (peoooaoeoooooeooeooooooooo S SHE MANICURES AND BEAUTI- ? 3 FIES TOWNS. S o o ?0030oooeoooeoeoooooeooeoe In the past few years the passion for the "town beautiful" has become a national ideal. City councils have taken up the work, philanthropists have contributed fortunes, and civic associations have put their shoulders to the wheel. That everyone knows; but what scarcely anyone knows is that the movement began in the brain of a quiet, unassuming woman in Springfield, Ohio, says Hampton's Magazine. Miss Jessie M. Good was an as sistant in the Springfield library, and had been for sixteen years. One day, in an interval of her work, she hap pened to pick up a magazine and read therein cf hov/ the village of Stock bridge, Mass., in order to attract sum mer tourists, had formed a local im provement society to clean the town. That was her inspiration, as narrated with ? wealth of interesting detail in Hampton's. Clean the town! Why should net all towns be clean? Why were dusty streets, littered sidewalks, disfiguring vacant lots, treeless high wa3rs'and unsightly back yards neces sar5r?.. Why should not every town have*parks and public gardens? Miss Good told her plan to the ed itor of a floriculture magazine pub lished in Springfield, and wrote an article about it for him. The idea spread, letters came in shoals, and Miss Good and Mr. D. J. Thomas, the editor, calling a convention of those interested, formed the American League of Civic Improvement. That was in July, 190!. A year later, at a meeting in Buffalo, X. Y., the American Park and Outdoor Art As sociation merged with the league un der the title of the American Civic Association, which now embraces every State in the Union. Miss Good, who was born in Johns town, Pa., is still a resident of Spring field, where she has built up a large business in the sale of plants, ssed? and flowers. A Ventriloquist. Probably every one has seen a time when he wished he could admin ister rebuke impersonally. The Springfield Republican pictures an oc casion when it was done. The "grouchy" individual carno from behind his paper and glared savagely at the woman with the cry ing baby. "Why can't you keep that brat quiet?" he snarled. "What's the matter with it. anyway?" There was a dead silence in the car, and then a pitilessly distinct voice from nowhere in particular replied: "He thinks your face is the moon, and he's crying for it." The surly one looked about with a deathly stare. Every one was quak ing with mirth, but preserved a sol emn countenance except the man who was smiling out of the window at the other end of the car. "There are advantages in being a ventriloquist," he murmured softly to himself. That's All lin Forgot. The cab containing the absent minded man and his family drew up in front of the Grand C2ntral Depot. There emerged the absent-minded man, his wife, three children, a bird cage, a dog on a leash, and innumer able bundles and parcels. The ab sent-minded man paid the driver, gathered up the bundles, dropped them and pressed his hand dramatic ally to his fevered brow. "There!" he exclaimed. "I just knew I had forgotten something." His wife carefully counted the chil dren, saw that the dog and the bird cage were intact, and took an inven tory of the bundles. . "We seam to be ail here," she re marked. "I am sure we have every thing. What do you think it is you have forgotten?" . "Why, bless my soul!" cried the absant-minded man. "Xcw that we are here I've forgotten where we in tended geing!"-Xew York Times. According to a Government report. 2,600,000 cattle die every year ir. this country from disrase, exposure and neglect. UNCLE SAM TELLS HO WTO J?EASUEE OCEAN WAVES. Fueling Question to AM Sea? Goers Easily Solved by the Navy Hydrographie Office. A puzzling question to all sea gers, that of the lengthened height Di ocean waves and how to measure :hem, is answered by the Navy Hy Irographic Office. Determination of the length cf ?vaves at sea may be obtained by di rect comparison of the known length DL the observing vessel with the length from crest to crest of the tvaves over which she is riding, and nilen ships are sailing in company a good estimate of the length of tao tvaves may be made bj' comparing the lenown length of a neighboring ship with the distance from crest to crest Df the successive waves. Another method of measuring the length of waves consists in towing a log line astern of a vessel and noting the length of line when a buoy at tached to the after end floats on the next wave crest abaft, that on which the stern of the vessel momentarily floats. Replying to an answer regarding :he height of ocean waves the Hydro graphic Office says its measurements md estimates from mariners and ob servers at sea indicate that the aver age height of all the waves running in a gale in the ocean is about twenty feet. "About forty feet," it says, "is a common estimate of the height of the larger waves in a severe gale on the North Atlantic, and this estimate is really not incompatible with accorded average of little more than twenty feet." A Witty Red Man. In "Travels in New England and Kew York," President Dwight, of Yale College, tells a good story of Indian wit and friendship. In the early days of Litchfield, Conn., an Indian called at the tavern and asked the landlady for food, frankly stating that he had no money with which to pay for it. She refused him harshly, but a white man who sat by noted the red man's half-fam ished state, and offered to pay for his supper. The meal was furnished, -and tho Indian, his hunger satisfied, returned to the fire and told his benefactor a story. "You know Eiblc?" said the red? ekin. The man assented. "Weil," said the lidian, "the Bible say. God made world, and then He took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good." He made light, and He took him ?md look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then He made dry land and water and sun and moon and grass and trees; and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then He made beast and birds and fishes, and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' "Then He made man, and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very, very good.' Then He made woman, and took him and look at him. and He no dare say one such word!" This last conclusion was uttered with a meaning, glance at the land lady. . Seme years' after this occurrence, the man who had paid for the In dian's supper was eapturea by red skins and carried to Canada, where he was made to work like a slave. One day an Indian came to him, re called to his mind che occurrence at the. Litchfield tavern, and ended by saying: "I that Indian. Now my turn pay. I see you home. Come with me." And tho redskin guided the man back to Litchfield. A Remarkable Play. During the Lower Lakes golf tour nament at Grossepointe, Michigan, says Collier's Weekly, Lieutenant George N. Hayward, United States Navy, made one of the most remark able plays known to the game of golf. On driving from the first tee he sent the ball over the bunker, fully one hundred and seventy-five yards. It struck a screen on the second-floor window of a vacant parsonage, and went clear through the screen and window. The lieutenant had a problem tc face. He was followed to the house by a large number of interested spec tators. Forcing open a window, he climbed into the parsonage. He found the hall in a back room up-stairs, and with a mighty stroke tried to send it into a front room. It struck above the door and clattered about the room for a while. An other stroke was more accurate, and the ball went into the front room. A third put it through a window. The window had been raised to allow the hall free egress, but the stroke sent I it rather high, and the ball crashed | through two thicknesses of glass anc" out on the green. Family Suite. "Where's your daughter Mary liv ing now, Mrs, Herlihy?" inquired one o'f the neighbors, who had dropped in after an absence of some months. "Her hoosband's got a foine job on the Toimes. reporting accidents," said Mrs. Herlihy. proudly, "and the twe av thim and little Moike is living in a suit up-town." "What's a suit?" inquired the neighbor, curiosity having got the better of a desire to appear well-in formed on all points. "A suit," said Mrs. Herlihy. slowly, Mis one o' thim places where the par loor is the bedro- aa. and the bedroom is the kitchen, and the closets is down in the cellar, and the beds is piannys -or organs, and-well, it's one o: thim pieces where iverything is some thing else," concluded Mrs. Herlihy. In tho number oi cotton Buladles, Great Britain, with nearly 52,000, OOO, and the United States, with 27, 000,000. are far ahead of other coun tries. Germany comes next, with 0,5 92,355, followed by France, with 7,006,428. New York City consumes $54,001 worth of tea and ceffes each day. Silage For Beef Cattle. The only reason the silo has not been used so largely upon the beef cattle and general stock farm is be cause beef men have not given it thc trial that dairymen have. Those who have used silage in the produc tion of beef are universally in favor of it. It proves a profitable addition to a beef-feeding ration. Experi ment station tests have presented re sults which stand out prominently in favor of silage for beef feeding. The latest evidence from this source comes from the Indiana sta tion, where a series of practical beef feeding experiments are being conducted.-Weekly Witness. Spraying to KUI Weeds. Directions for making a spraying solution that will kill weeds are given as follows: Empty a hundred pound sack of sulphate of iron into a fifty-gallon barrel; fill to the chine with water, and stir with a hoe for a few minutes until dissolved. Strain through several thicknesses of cheesecloth tacked over manhole of the spraying machine, producing a real mist free from drops. Use about fifty gallons to the acre, and spray on a bright warm day or on a dark damp day; it does not matter so long as rain does not come within eighteen or twenty hours. This spray will not harm grain crops, and will kill wild mustard and various other weeds. Weekly Witness. Supplying the Soil With Plaut i'ood. In fertilizing any crop the needs of the soil upon which the crop is to be grown are usually the leading consid eration. A soil which had recently been v/ell manured, or had a clover sod plowed under, would likely be pretty well provided with nitrogen, and accordingly the mineral constit uents would be the principal concern. A heavy clay soil would not need the potash that a san?y or muck soil would require. The need for phos phoric acid is more general. After the soil, the needs of the crop may be considered. For instance, a 200 bushel-to-the-acre crop of potatoes will carry from the soil thirty-three pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds of phosphoric acid and sixty-two pounds of potash; a thirty bushel crop of wheat, sixty-two pounds of nitrogen, twenty pound: phosphoric acid and twenty-six pounds of potash. For use upon the same sort of soil, then, the potato crop would call for a fer tilizer richer in potash than would wheat, if the store of plant food in the soil is to be maintained. It might be possible to omit the nitro gen for the potatoes, since the latter are usually closer to the clover sod or manure or both in the rotation than wheat.-Farmers' Home Journal. 1 Engines Fpi* Farm Power. Some farms have steam boilers and engines, but for. ordinary use they are too expensive to buy and too compli cated to run. If a person only needs a five or ten horse power engine he don't want to bother with a steam en gine. It takes too long to get up steam and too much attention when running. What ho needs is a gasoline engine. The ?ewer patterns cf gasoline en gines are practically automatic. You ran start one after breakfast in the morning and it will run steadily until noon without attention. They start fiuickly, jump right into full power and run at less expense than any oth er farm motor power except wind mills, and these are unreliable, be cause they arc subject to the whims and fancies of the winds. One mistake often made in buying a farm gasoline engine is in getting It too small. You need a little re serve power. If you need two horse power buy a four horse power en gine. It don't cost any more to run it to do two horse power worth of work, then you have the extra power wheu you need it. The cost of a size larger is not a great deal when com pared with the additional service it will render.-The Epitomist. Geese For Breeding. . A goose farm should have a run ning stream of pure water so situated that the fields may be laid out on both sides of the stream. The fields should consist of good pasture with a variety of grasses and cf sufficient size to support a gander and three geese with their growing goslings. One gander and three geese to a pen are often better than any other number for breeding purposes. A shed on the north side of the fieid opening to the south is all the protec tion the geese require except in the extreme north. In the middle sec tions of the United States geese sel dom will use the shed except during the laying and hatching seasons or on extremely cold clays in winter. The sheds consequently need not be very large nor expensive. Eut the rcof should be thoroughly waterproof and the bottom provided with a foot or more of straw. Toulouse, Embden and Chinese- are the three varieties usually raised. The Chinese lay more eggs than the others, but the birds are not so valu able, consequently the large:- varieties are likely to pay the best. Stock birds do not require to be renewed like other kind:; of poultry, as geese are long-lived and the eggs are much better for hatching after geese have obtained full maturity. Ereeding stock is at best from five to twelve years of age. This is especially true of geese. Sometimes ic is advisable to renew ganders after six or seven years. Geese eighteen and twenty years of age have been known to lay as well as ever, and their eggs to hatch satisfactorily, but these of course are exceptional cases. The Emtden and Toulouse varieties are large-framed birds, with, long, deep bodies. They probably average about fifteen pouuds in weight, but the ganders often weigh as much aa twenty pounds or more. The Brown Chinese probably are the best looking geese we have, but the breed is com paratively small. This variety, how ever, is considered one of the best for crossing on the larger breeds for market purposes. Geese are very fond of their mates and it is difficult to break up a mating without removing the male bird en tirely out of hearing. For this reason it is advisable to attend to the mating problem in the fall. If geese are kept on grass alone they probably will lay one setting of eggs and hatch them out, but if given a grain ration, in connection with the pasture two or three settings may be expected. Goose sheds should be provided with, plenty of straw during the laying sea son. They will then make their own nests near the ground and the mois ture problem will be taken care of naturally.-Epitomlst. A Little Turkey Talk. "After successfully raising turkeys foi a number of years, I am able to give a few practical and useful hints on the subject which canxot fail to be of great benefit to .the beginner, or perhaps to the ones who have been trying to raise turkeys, wita but poor success. . Turkeys, as we all know, are con sidered more difficult to raise than chickens, on account of their being more sensi?ive .to the damp and cold of spring, and for this reason many do not try to raise them at all. I find that if turkeys-*- are not hatched before the first of May, it 1? less trouble to care for them, and they are more apt to live' The common brown turkey is the most profitable. I ance tried the white species, but found them poor layers, and not so hardy. It pays best to start with a small flock. Never keep over winter moro than three hens and a gobbler. Right here let me say, be sure to get your gobbler and hens of different flocks in starting, and if you have your own, trade with some one', so that .the'y will not be related to the hens. Inbreeding is very frequently tho cause of blindness. I have seen in quiries in many farm papers as to j the probable cause of blindness, and experience has taught me that this is the sole cause. 1 It is uiwise to set the old turkey; ; the first time she gets broody, but break h-jr up to lay more eggs, and set a hen or two ia her place. When a hen is set, never use more than jight or ten eggs, ar.d even then selejt a large hen. Give her a warm place to sit, and saturate the nest well with sulphur to keep away vermin. Use sulphur on the hen, also. A hen that is to sit for four weeks must be well fed and cared for.. Give her plenty of fresh water and exer cise, and a small ration of corn meal . wet with milk once each day. When a brood of little turkeys are first hatched they are weakly, and should not be taken from the nest for at least twelve hours. Warm, waterproof coops should be provided for them. Larg dry-goods boxes, such as can be bought for about twenty-five cents, make excel lent coops. Turn these on their sides, with blocks under the corners io keep them off the ground. Nail strips of board over every crack. The top of the box forms the front of the coop. Nail laths across the front so close to gether that the little ones cannot crawl through, and make a little door, at one end, through which to feed and water them. I feed them on bread and milk for a few days, and then give them corn, meal wet with sweet milk, a pinch, pf salt and some clean sand. Dutch cheese is also good for a change. They are very fond of it, and it aids digestion. Give them plenty O? water, but do not leave it where they can tumble into it, as a wetting is almost certain to be the death of a little turkey. When they are a few days old I take a lath from the front of the coop and let them run out, after the dew is off. If the nights are chilly, or the weather should be damp, cover the coop well with c warm blanket. The last year I raised turkeys I learned something very helpful. I put the coop under a large tree where there was shade in the afternoon, and found that the little "turks" never left the shade, and did not run off into the grass and weeds and get lost, as they had formerly done. They cannot endure the hot sun. If you have hens with little chicks, do not put the coops near the ones where there are little turkeys, as a hen with chicks will kill little tar keys. A hen with turkeys will like wise kill the chickens. When the old turkey hens are set later on, I take the same method with them as with the hen mother and brood, and take care to provide a large coop. When little "turks" ara six to eight weeks old they can be let out with, their mothers a short time each day if the weather is good, and by the time they are half-grown they can get their own living, by gleaning in tho fields, and will make no more trouble. T*he last year I raised turkeys I lost but three and raised forty.-Mis? M. M. Chandler.
