NATIONAL SILVER CONVENTION.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
st. Louis has undertaken the arrange
ments for National Silver convention.
the delegates to embrace the representa-
tlves of all industries in the country, as
well as of the silver mining sections, and
particularly of the agricultural interests;
wheat, corn, cotton, etc.
\ great deal of enthusiasm has been
shown in the contemplation of this
movement, and from all the indications
we feel confident that the convention.
Will be the largest and most thoroughly
representative ever held in this country,
on subject of which comparatively So
little is known.
ST. Louis will arrange for the conven-
ton. and entertain the delegates appro-
priately, but we recognize the fact that
we will need all of the assistance we can
secure to make the convention the sue
cess 1t should be.
Respectfully. ETC..

Last weeks clearing house reports
show an increase of business for Kansas
City, Mo-, of II per cent over the cor
responding period last year, and the To-
cal papers are making their usual brag
over the incident. If these weekly re-
ports We're an infalllble index to the vol
ume of business done in a city, the show
ing for Kansas City would still be mis-
leading, from the fact that very large
per cent of the transactions of neighbor-

city's clearlngs. Take away the amount
that belongs to Kansas City, Kansas,

Lieutenant Wood, of the United States
navy, who claims to be thoroughly con-
versant with the subject, says that the
sending of missionaries to China is an
utter waste of money and energy. The
history of the Chinese who come to
America corroborates the statement.
But the most significant statement in
that connection Is that made day or
two ago before the general convention
of the Episcopal church by one of the
missionaries of that church to China
who had just returned after a labor of
several years. He advised his people
that the only hope of making any pro-
gress in evangelizing that people is to
work through native converts. Never
theless, some of the protestant mission
aries during the past few years have
reported wonderful success in convert
ing the heather world.

The original Knights, the unimproved

and as drunk as templar" was a

not an adjective, but noun. Webster,

Effective Treatment Of mn Oid Kentucky
Apple Orchard.
Tho following from notes on tho
treatment OF an old orchard at the farm
OF the kentucky Experiment Station,
together with some suggestions. may
DO OF use 10 persons who have old or
chards in the condition described.
Many OF the trees were old and full OF
suckers and dead limbs, the trunks

ted with branches. and many OF the
branches were so low rs 20 prcvcnt

on very wet. thin clay soil. which
had been seeded 10 English bluegrass.
So far MS known. the orchard had been
an entire failure heretofore as 10 fruit
Sometimes the trees fruitcd heavily,
but the apples dropped prematurely
and were always wormy.
IL was concluded TO attempt an i'm
provement OF this orchard by trim
ming, fertilizing and cultiyating. and
also by destroying the codling moth
with London purple. Accordingly all
dead limbs were removed and tho tops
OF the trees trimmed, though not TO
such an extent as TO allow the main
branches to be exposed too much 10
the sun. Tobacco stems were placed
around the trees and the ground was
plowed. and spaded where the
pillow could not reach The trees
were sprayed with London purple,

was driven TO the windward side OF
the trees. when one man pumped

the tree and fall down on the leaves

As the result IL is stated that most
Of the trces in the orchard bore fruit
and many were loaded down. But few
apples dropped prematuroly. and but
few of these were wormy. or tho mp
pies on the trees only a few could be
found that had been attacked by the
codling moth. while in neighboring
orchards ii was rare TO find n sound

The experiment affords another
