north and south rows and the trees
closer in the row, say the rows thirty-five
feet apart and the trees twenty feet apart
In the row. The advantages of this
method are convenience in cultivation
and plenty of room for driving with a
wagon through the orchard IN gathering
the fruit. No doubt the mistake is
oftener in too close planting than at too
great distance. We are advised on all
sides to so prnne our trees as to have
them headed low down as a protection
against the prairie winds. But there is q
happy mean between having the branch
es high enough that a horse may walk
under them. and where when laden with
fruit the lowest limbs rest on the ground.
AS to the varieties of apples hardy to the
West and the best for cultivation here, il
will be best to look to the orchards in
bearing farthest west in the state.
While the quality of the Ben Davis is not
first or second rate for cooking or eating,
it is planted as largely as any other
variety. The tree is a hardy, strong
grower, tolerably early bearer, and
medium keeper; but what recommends it
is its size and color, being as saleable as
any apple in market. Other kinds pop
ular for Kansas are the Red Astrachan,
Early Herbert, Sweet Bough, Maiden
Blush, Missouri Pippin,, Wine Sap,
Genet, Nonesuch, Jonathan and White
Winter Pearmain for summer, fail and
winter. A good proportion would be
fifteen summer, ten autumn and seventy
this paper is confined pretty closely to
the cultivation of the apple, I do not
wish it to be understood that the many
other kinds of fruit, large and small, are
to be ignored; for the peach, plum,
cherry and crab can be made success
equally as well as the apple; and long
before these large fruits ban be brought
into bearing we may have succession of
choice small fruits rounding up in the
late summer and early fall with that most
ancient. universal, celebrated, but not
yet half priced fruit-the grape. Know
ing what the grape requires to bring it to
perfection, how can we avoid
the conclusion that this will be the home
where this most luscious of fruits will
luxuriate? With our abundance of sum
shine, dry atmosphere and limestone soil,
every home in town and country should
be well supplied with vines Of several
varieties of this unequaled,
healthful, tempting fruit.
Brother farmers, on the threshold of
new life, new experiences, hopeful for the
future, home builders on these once dis
tant plains, where desolation and drear-
mess lately reigned, we can, if we will,
make this Great American Desert to bud
and blossom as the rose; and by practi-
,al horticulture enrich hill and slope and
7alley with orchards, fruit laden, and
with their wealth of grapes.

LsRDoE, October 3d. The interna-
tional handicap double sculling sweep
stakes took place, to-day, on the
Thames. The race consisted Of two
triaI heats and the final one was rswed
over the course from Wadsworth Foot
Bridge to a point little below Hammer
smith Bridge, distance of about two
and a half miles. The frst heat was
between G. Perkins and Dave Goodwin,
and Wallace Ross and George Lee. The
CORNER bad the Surrey station, the latter
t re Middlesex station. Ross and Lee
started from the scratch, while Perkins
and Goodwin had twelve seconds start.
Perkins a. d Goodwin won the heat.
Perkins and Goodwin got lead of nine
lengths in the time allowed them. Ross
and LIE, after they started, gained
steadily, and at Putney Bridge, a mile
from the start, only four lengths sepa-
rated the boats. Ross and Lee con-
tinued TO pull e stroke which placed
them nearer their opponents, and when
Walden's Wharf was reached they were
scarcely two lengths behind. Despite
the ground the Americans had gained,
bets at odds OF to on the British
team were made. The latter were row.
ing in better form, and good bits of
sculling followed. The Americans,
however, did not head Perkins and
Goodwin, who won the heat by one and
one-half lengths. The second heat
was between John Teemer and Albert
Hamm who had the Middlesex station,
and g. Bubear and W. g. East. who
had the Surrey station. BubeRr and
East had 70 seconds start Of their OPP
pOnents, who started from the scratch.
The British oarsmen were eight
lengths in the lead when Teemer and
Hamm started. The latter gained
steadily and were only length behind
when Putney Bridge was reached. A
quarter of a mile beyond this point
the Oarsmen were on even terms
a splendid race for q quarter of
q mile ensued and the Americans !
got half length in front and gave their |
wash 70 the British oRrsmeR, who strug- |
gled hard. After splendid racing the |
Americans steered out and Babear ind |
East soon after slowed down. Teemer
and Hamm won the heat easily By sew I
eral lengths.
The final heat and race was won by |
TeemeF and HamD, who defeated Per- !
kins and Goodwin.
at the outset of the final heat. Per !
kins and Goodwin got an advantage of |
seven lengths. All the heats were |
Towed on the food tide, but the |
current during the final heat WRs
more sluggish than when the trial heats
were rowed at Patney Bridge, how
ever, the Americans had gained on

now began to draw closer up and guar

The Rio Disaster.

MILWAUKEE,, October 30.-C. 81. Wells,
freight brakeman, charged with being
responsible for the terrible railway ae-
cident at Rio, on Wednesday night,
came to the city yesterday. and visited
the general offices of the st. Paul Rail-
way Company. He drew his salary late
yesterday afternoon. Wells is "a years
Of age and unmarried. He declares
that Hankey, the freight conductor, is
wholly responsible for the accident.
Following is the substance of his story
Our train arrived at East Rio siding
several minutes before the limited put
IN an appearance. The freight train
was too long tor one side track, so we
cut it in two, switching one part
onto a side track and then detaching
the engine switching the rest into the
other side track. 1t was not my duty to
close the switch. ! had never closed it
before. The conductor had always
done that. On the night of the accident
after we had reached the siding and
sidetracked our train | had to remain
oB top of one of the cars. Conductor
Hankey went 20 the switch aud shortly
8fterward passed the car on which l
was standing. He told me that every

at my watch and discovered or thought
I did that the limited train was
Late. Jast then the limited hove in sight.
/ was Mortified to see it run of the
track shortly after it passed my
car. In a moment the train was ia
flames. I was badly frightened and
thinking the freight train hands would
be lynched, 8ed. ] realize that made
a mistake in running away, but it was
very natural under the circumstances.
Wells says he is ready to give himself
up whenever he is wanted. He has
engaged counsel in Milwaukee.
The identity of the three men bound
for the woods, burned to death in the
wreck, will probably never be known,
and they at least of all the victims viii

sing" persons.
If all the missing people so far re-
ported as having been on the train are
not heard from, the list Of victims will
be sws led to twenty two. The laws Of
