THE MESSAGE.

EraGmentary Opinions from the Met
rOpOlitian Press.
st Paul Globe: The document is re-
markable for its conservatism and will
do great deal to confirm the confidence
which the people of the country have
reposed in him as an honest, clear
headed, executive, upon sound business
principles. Taking it
altogether the message compares fav-
orably with those which have come from
the hands of his predecessors in office.
While 1t Is not remarkable tor brilllanoy
1t Is full of that good common sense
which the American people love to see
displayed in high official life.
New York tribune: The first mes.
sage of the president is creditable
paper, On some of the most importan
questions of which it treats 1t deserves
hearty praises. Nor ls it to him dlscred.
liable, but much to Ills credit, that 1t is
pest and most worthy of commendation
just where his party is worse and Its in.
huece is most to be feared. The presl
dents message Is most right just where
his party Is most wrong, and Its best ad
vice is Just that which is least likely to
be followed.
ST. Peui Pioneer Press: If the prin-
ciple suggestions that he advances were
made law tomorrow, the country would
be better for It, A presidential docu-
ment might be brilliant enough in die,
tion or statesmanlke enough In ite treat.
ment ST generallties to win enthusiastic
admiration, without deserving this high
praise.
Omaha Herald: Every clause, every
sentence of the document, bears the i'm.
press of broad, deep mind upon it
Every line teens with sagacious wis.
dom, apt and applicable to the exigen-
cies of the hour.
Washington Evening Star: The mes.
sage throughout is characteristic of Mr.
Cleveland in the clear cut, explicit ex.
preston of his views, allowing no man
to mistake them in any particular.
Omaha Bee: Halt of the message
could have been proftably omitted and
the remainder could have been cut dowr
a half with advantage to the public.
Omaha Republican: The paper il
creditable to the president, but not {
paragraph can be used by his party FOL
political purposes.
Washington Critic: There are many
wise and valuable suggestions in :hs

Washington writer declares that "if
President Cleveland had deliberately
planned method of stampeding his
party he could not have done 80 more
effectively than by the message he sent
to congress Tuesday. A bonlh-shell has
exploded in the democratic camp, and
the decentralization is complete The
silver men of Cleveland's party are bad
ly broken up over the decided stand
he has taken against the coinage of their
favorite metal
Senator Voorhees, is quoted as declar-
ing that "he is obliged to differ radical
ly from the president He appreciates
the value of common monetary unit for
international commerce, but that is the
only argument against silver that he
can see any!force in. He does not un-
derstant the description of silver
as deprecated metal when he
can buy as much with o silver
dollar as he can with gold dollar,
and it is out of the question for us
to attempt to get along without silver
as money. The silver is not objected
to by the people. In his state nobody
Is complaining of silver or alarmed at
the prospect of silver currency
He is confident that he expresses the
Judgment of all the democratic senators

strength of character and honesty OF

and notably in regard to silver most oi
tn democratic senators differ from
him."

Take the hardwood barrel under the tree
for convenience, pick the apples with care,
place them in without sorting and when
filled head the barrel without pressure. Then
wheel it into the fruit house, and let it re.
main there during the sweating or curing
process. When ready to make a shipment
the process of sorting begins Have a large
table in the fruit house, and on it empty the
barrels, two at time. Apples can be select
ed much better in this way than if picked
from heap on the floor. Aim to select none
but perfect apples, but as those of every va
riety have different degrees of perfection in
Bize, form or color, make two Glasses and
mark them accordingly. In packing or fill
ing the barrel the object is to get into the
package the largest quantity with the least
injury to the fruit. Apples are very easily
injured by too much pressure applied 10
them in packing and also by being packed
too loosely. When the barrel is properly
filled, instead of putting on the proper head
In the first place and applying pressure to it,
use false cushion head which will play
loosely in the barrel This cushion head is
lined, piece of old saoking answering well
for the lining. Considerable pressure can be
applied to this cushion head without injury
to the fruit. Place this cushion upon the
apples, and apply the press with pressure
sufficient 10 get the apples together through
out the barrel. Then remove the false head
and place the head proper, apply the press
and complete the work. In marking, use
the words ''choioe" or medium, A" as the case
may be- stenoiled in small letters on the bar
rel, accompanying the name of the apple.
Then on each package stencil the name Of
the packer in full, as a guaranty of the uni

The Rntn,n Gran

The New England Homestead has gathered
full reports on the potato crop from its cor
respondents in New England and New York
from a summary of which il concludes that
this years crop is short 80 per cent from an
average-its reports being based on a COM
parison with the 1884 crop, which was short
80 per cent from full average, and the acre
age over Is per cent less than an average.
Since the reports we're written (Oct. l-5), rot
has continued to prevail to an alarming ex-
tent throughout the shipping counties of New
York and Vermont and is general in other
states, so that this shortage may be still furth-
er increased. The Provinces have enjoyed a
remarkably fine season for potatoes aud gen.
orally report full average crop. There will
be large surplus for export to the United
States, and farmers will sell freely. Prices
are 20 to 20 cents per bushel for unassorted
delivered at Northern starch factories, but the
shipping price of marketable tubers is 30 TO
40 cents in New England and New York city,
and local markets are paying 80 to ~ cents
per bushel Farmers having sound tubers
are disposed to hold for higher prices This
will be all right until prices reach point (75
cents per bushel at Boston, that will warrant
their importation, when the large surplus in
the Provinces may prevent further advance.

smut on Corn.

1t will pay to go through cornfelds before
harvesting and carefully cut ont all smutty
ears, placing them in closed baskets or pals
before removing from the field. II smutty
ears are taken to the crib some of the fun
gus is left on the seed and is reproduced in

not TO keep field in corn two years in sue

more smutty than the first. CttltiUdtOr.
This suggestion is too late for the present
year, but may be remembered another sea-
son. OF late years there has been great in
crease of smutty ears in this section, and if
nothing is done to stop the spread of the
fungus it will soon become a serious evil.
