We are daily selling largo
quantities of separate trousers

causes that lead to this result.
The first is at this time of year
men are slow to make a radical
change in the weight of their

promise by wearing a heavier
trousers than usual while con-
tinuing to wear the light weight
coat and vest under fall over
coat The second is, the trousers
we sell are as near perfection in
cut, style, shape, and make as
science can make them. The
third Is, the materials from which
they are made are selected with
the greatest care, "tone" and ele-
gance Of design being the leading
features. And the fourth and
last is the prices at which we
mark these goods are such as to
satisfy the most economical buy
er. We have them as low as two

Needs of the state Female College,

On our recent trir to Columbus,
aud willis inspecting the various
departments of the female college,
we noticed that two OF these were
not adequate to the requirements,
and not in keeping with the other
features of the institution. We
speak of the laundry and printing
office. The former is small aud
poorly ventilated, and it is really Il
punishmenttO send giil in there
for any length of time, if not an in
jury to Ter health. The laundry is
in The basement of the bnildiEg,
low ceiling aud poor lights. This
should be Tcmedicd ut once.
The printing office is very i'll
complete. IL is presided over by n
competent lady, but the material is
not sufficient for the purposes for
which the Office is intended. 1t
should have q greater variety OF
type, rules, etc, and n newspaper
press. In fact it should be supplied
with all the material that IS used in
a regular office, so that the young
ladies could master tho business
thoroughly. There should also DE
n complete job office.
With these two matters remedied,
the laundry and the printing office,
all the departments would be suili'
cicntly equipped. We hope to hear
of its being done at once.

We visited several Of the vegetable
growers few days ago, accompanied
by DR.. ii. T.. Mckay, OF Madison,
and found everything about ~ far adj
vanced rs last year, except melons,
which are backward. ~
The tomato crop is larger and more
promising than last year, and viii be-
gin to move in large quantities tho lat
ter portion of the week and next week.
Shippers should learn from experience
that IL won't do to throw everything
into Chicago, and break tho market
as in previous years. II will be much
better TO distribute to other markets in
time. As they can now ship by re-
iriscrator ears, tomatoes should be
picked ripper, and not ship them So
green that It takes a week to ripen AZ
ter getting into market. Most OF the
growers are pruning TO q greater cx-
tent than last year and topping III or
der to hasten maturity. The most
successful growers are those who have
pruncd judiciOusly, rs after this month
Illinois will begin to ship, which means
too low prices to justify growers to
ship from here.
We think the lowest estimate OF the
toinatoc crop can be placed at lOo, GOO
third bushcl boxes: melons, b,Voc
bushels; cucumbcrs, 800 bushels;
beans, / 800 bushels, and peaches 80
600 is buslicl boxes. From the pres
ent outlook we don't think this csti-
mate too large. Since the warm
weather set in, the season has been
more favorable, and everything is de-
developing under the summer heat

carsallsa, in April Orchards.

Prof. s. A Forbes. State Entomol-
ogist, Champaign. H.. bas issued
the following circular: The rayagcs OF
the plum curculio (Conotrachclus ncu.
uphnr) in the apple orchard have in
creased OF late years - rapldlyas u
excite very general apprehension
among observing apple growers. In
the vicinity Of Champaign, H., last
year, about half M many apples were
Injured by this insect as by the codling
moth. The great difficulty Of light
ing the curcuilo in tile apple orchard by
any method OF direct attack makes II
desirable to experiment with indirect
methods. Among these we may i'll
clnde the planting Of plum trees ~ OF
around apple orchards, In the hope
that the c,irculios may be kept from
attacking the apple. by trapping, jar
ring, or poisoning them on the more
attractive plum trees. Tie feasibility
OF this method may be easily tested
whenever bearing plum trees happen
to stand next apple trees; and In or.
der that ! may use, this season, all
convenient opportunities for expert
mcnt on this matter. | have TO ask
that those who have these fruit trees

i'm reference to the results Of his recent
trip to Chicago, where he went to in
ycstigatc the condition Of fruits and
vegetable, arriving at that city in re-
frigcrator cars.
Ouestion-Alr. Stackhouse, you
have just returned from Chicago ;
please state the result of your trip anu
the opinions YOU formed.
Answer-My opinion is favorable to
rcfrigcrators. found the fruit to he
in an excellent condition upon its arri-
val.
O-What is tho difference in the
time and cost and OF shipping by re.
frigcrators and shipping by express:
Allie cost OF shipping by rcfrig-
orators is about one-half rs much us
by express, and it only takes one day
longer to get to Chicago.
Q--lIow do the merchants OF Chi
cago like the idea Of shipment by re-
frigeratorsI
A-Thcy think Il is decidedly the
best and cheapest way aud they be-
iieveit will work an cru In our fruit
growing efforts.
Q-What do they say OF Crystal
Springs fruits and vegetables any
way?
A-Thcy say 1t il the finest they
receive and always commands the best
prices. Our tomatoes, they say, are
far superior to those from Southern
Illinois and other points.
Q-Are the railroad authorities do
ing anything TO promote this indus
try here! -. >,
Ayes: they are doing all in their
power. They will leave nothing I'M
done to encourage and foster this en-
terprisc. which now bids fair TO as
sumo large proportions In this section.
As an inducement to raise melons,
they offer TO let us have through car
TO Chicago for S75, making tho cost
OF shipping to Chicago about cts per
melon. The outlook for the fruit
growers of this section was never
brighter and in my Judgment the en-
tcrprise will move steadily on, gain
ing in volume and strength and yield
ing large profits TO the producers.

Editor Of the Commercial Herald:
Already there is n rumor of an

cratic nominee in this District. II is

Ward does make the race, il is claim.

will not have walk over. They claim
for Mr.. Ward, ability and q clean
record, that he is courageous and
fine speaker, and tha he can unite

same may be said Us to Hooker. 1t

Should Hooker get Jackson entire,
