APPLE SHIPPING,

The following rules for packing apples
are published by an apple dealer for the
benefit of those who supply our market
with this fruit:
Country shippers and packers of apples
should make it point to pack their fruit
honestly; that is, have the fruit run all
alike through the barrel. Do not en-
deavor to cause deception by placing
good, sound, large fruit on the top and
bottom of the barrel and fill in the Md
die with lot of gnarly, wormy and de-
cayed fruit. 1t does not pay. The de-
ception is easily detected upon investiga-
ton, and merchants do not care to have
fraud practiced upon them, or to practice
it on their customers.
Full regulation sized barrels should be
used. Take the barrel, one head out,
nail the hoops, and break off the ends of
the nails on the inside; place layer or tier
OF apples, fair, smooth and bright, as
closely as possible, stems downward, ON
the lower end, then fill up basket at a
time, throwing out small, wormy, gnarly
aud windfall apples, and shaking the
barrel well after each deposit, until it is
full two inches above the rim; place the
head squarely on the apples, and with a
screw or lever press force it into place
and nail securely. Turn over the barrel
and mark name of apple with red or
black lead, or stencil. Bear in mind
that, to be shipped safely, fruit must be
packed tight, to prevent rafting and con-
sequent bruising.
In shipping apples the first of the sea-
son-early varieties-shippers should see
that openings are cut on the side of the
barrels and also in both ends, to admit of
free circulation of air, which will greatly
help to bring the fruit through in good
condition during the warm weather.

A Sub Marine Bridge.

A ''sub-marine bridge" is proposed be-
tween Sweden and Copenhagen by
Swedish engineer, Mr. Rudolph Lille
jegrist. The distance is two and one
half miles, and the proposed structure
would join Elsinore to Helsingberg by
a bridge made up of 100 foot spans,
carrying a single line of rails. 1t is to
be submerged sufficiently to allow shis,
to pass over it. The 49, Ps
,ooeaa s, of fhNJrldge' would be en-
Ic,ls,,, pnP'e-tTouble tube, with an outer
skin of iron and an inner one of steel, and
the space between the shells filed with
concrete. It's foreseen that the outer shell
might rust away in time, but it is believed
that the concrete would remain intact and
protect the steel. The piers would be
ordinary caissons, filed with concrete
and placed 100 feet apart. The tubes
would rest on these piers, and the girders
would take bearing on blocks inside the
tube Immediately over the piers. The
tube would be floated out in one
hundred feet lengths and lowered to
place, and massive collar of concrete
put over the joints. Pontoons, with legs
at each corner, worked by hydraulic
rams, so as to give a stable platform,
would be used in sinking the tubes.
The estimated cost of the submerged
work is about SO, 500, 600, not including
the tunnel approaches.

The States out of debt are Illinois,
Wisconsin, Delaware, West Virginia and
Colorado. West Virginia is prohibited
by her constitution from going into debt.
California and Iowa have no debt to set
tie, though paying interest on a school
fund. kentucky is nearly free from
debt. New York owes $1,000, 900;
Ohio and Minnesota less than s., 900, 900;
New Jersey and Kansas less than S2,OOO,-
600. Virginia is the most heavily bur
den, having a funded debt of over $685.
600, 600 and an unfunded debt of over
SS, 600, 600. Massachusetts, carries the
next heaviest debt, over $31, 600, 900.
Next comes Tennessee, 1000, 900;
Pennsylvania, SIS, 900, O00 North Caro-
lima, $13, 1000, 600; Louisiana, S12, ,000,-
900, and Maryland, S11, 100000 Total
indebtedness of all the States is $780,
600, 900, which is less than one per cent.
of their aggregate taxable property.
The rate of taxation is heaviest in Neva-
da, Nebraska and Louisiana. And,
though Massachusetts, stands second in
the size of her debt, she has the lowest
rate of taxation in the Union-less than
twelve cents per $100,- Chicago Ne'o8.

REARING A COLT BY HAND.

A motherless colt may as easily be
reared by hand as a calf, and will learn
to drink from pail readily. At first a
milk pan may be used for feeding it. A
method Of feeding that has been found de-
slrable is as follows: Give a two or three
days old colt one pint of new milk, fresh
from the COW, with a tablespoonful of
molasses mixed with it, four times a day,
and once daily give pint of strained oat-
meal cruel with an egg mixed in it,
smoothly. A mares milk is much sweeter
than cows milk, and the molasses or some
sugar is needed. AS the colt grows the
quantity of food is to be gradually in
creased. When two or three weeks old
the colt will eat grass and should be put
in pasture. York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

'Yo nn clean.
Weeds are best harvested when green.
Try kerosene emulsion for cabbage
worms.
Dust the grubs of the asparagus beetle
with lime.
Try SCOT sprinkled on the plants for
the fea-beetle.
Steel and elbow grease are death to
weeds if applied early.
It cost more to keep poor horse than
it does to keep good one.
Change the feed for your horses often
enough to make them relish it.
All work and 10 play makes Jack
dull boy. Let Jack go fishing.
Every time you worry your horses you
shorten their lives and days of useful
ness.
Improper feeding is the cause of nine
out of ten cases of sickness among
horses.
The dearest things a farmer can buy
are cheap fertilizers, says leading farm
authority.
Never let fowls suffer for plentiful
supply of clear, fresh water-it's a cheap
beverage.
Better breed from a good boar, even if
related to your own stock, than from an
unworthy animal.
Plenty of exercise, combined with
proper feed and feeding, is what will
make your hens lay.
1t seems to be the case that a horse
well taken care of will ordinarily live
close to twenty-five years.
Build roosts low, especially for large
fowls. Clean the droppings from under
the roosts at least once a week.
This is the time when the calves are
often neglected. Don't neglect yours,
but keep them pushing right along.
I In no case breed from sickly or weak
constitutional fowls, as your chicks will
be worthless and also bring disease.
A heaping tablespoonful of pyrethrun
in two gallons of water sprayed on the
rose bushes win rid them of the dreaded
rose-beetle.

Piutes Expecting a Flood.

Virginia, New, is full of Piutes men
women and children, who, fearing a de-
luge, are getting out of the valleys. Not
long ago Piute prophet predicted a
great flood that would drown all this part
of the world He said the ancients would
rise from their graves and there would
be a new deal On this continent, in which
the red men would be restored to their
old rights and repossess the land. Having
been told of the flood in the East and the
drowning of thousands of white men,
they have got an exaggerated idea of the
disaster and believe that very few whites
remain on that side of the continent
Their prophet, of course, claims credit for
what has happened, and they next ex-
pect a food to drown the whites of the
West. They are laying in stock of pro-
visions with which to flee to the mount
ain tops, and suppose that the whites
will remain in their houses to be drowned
as they did in the East Virginia (Neg. }

uHoLLow noRN"1s A MYTH.

The most eminent veterinarian author
tiles of the world entirely ignore the ex-
istence of any such disease as 'hollow
horn" in cattle. The late Charles L.
Flint, in his voluminous and excellent
work on ''Dairy Farming, nwhen referring
to the diseases of dairy stock, says:
Common sense is especially requisite in
the treatment of stock, and that will very
rarely dictate resort to bleeding, boring
the horns, cutting off the tail, and a
thousand other equally absurd practices
too common even within the memory of
men still living" "Horn oil" and "tail
oil' and "wolf in the tailn and "wolf
teeth" in horses are sometimes mentioned
in the works of our most noted veterina-
rians, but ouly for the purpose of ridicule
and to expose ignorance in those who
believe in such imaginary ailments. A
COW with garget, milk fever, or even
simple fever may have a dry muzzle, slow,
or an entirely suspended rumination; the
horns hot at the base and the tips cold,
and it is these symptoms which ignorant
quack doctors claim as those indicating
hollow horn. The animal usually needs
a dose of physic, and not bleeding or
boring of the horns.-Neio York Sun.

BEES AND HONEY POISONED.

Spraying fruit-trees with the arsenites
while yet in blossom is serious matter,
according to Professor A. j. Cook. It
is hoped that the whole press will call at
tention to it, and caution readers against
the danger. Mr.. j. A. Pearce, Grand
Rapids, Mich, had fine apiary of fifty
eight colonies this spring, when the fruit
trees blossomed. A neighbor sprayed
his orchard when in full bloom, while
Mr.. Pearce's bees were working in
full force. Result: The bees are seri-
ously poisoned; are dying rapidly. Even
two weeks after the honey was gathered
the workers, drones and brood are still
feeding on the poisoned honey with fatal
effect. Again, let me urge that no man
ever spray his fruit trees with Paris green
or London purple till after the blossoms
fall. Legislatures should enact laws
making it a crime punishable by fine and
imprisonment to do SC. If the honey
stored contains enough poison to kill
bees, may it not kill people who eat itl
This is a matter demanding speedy edu-
cation. Such law as suggested would
make fruitmen apt scholars.

1cE-wATER A GOOD rNsEcTrcrpE.

Few people realize how good an insec-
ticide is ice-cold water applied to plants
with force pump. 1t drenches the
leaves, knocking off and chilling the in
sects too small to be reached in any other
way. 1t also destroys myriads of insect
eggs. 1t is noticed by potato growers
that the potato bug is rarely destructive
in wet season. Now, as the potato
plant loves water, it might, on a small
scale, be protected from injury, and the
crop be greatly increased by thorough
drenching once or twice week. This
remedy is a good one for the rose slug.
Few wish to apply poison to preserve this
beautiful flower, while the whale oil ap-
plications often recommended are almost
equally objectionable.-BoStoa Cultirator

sTrALINa NESTS.

If a hen steals nest somewhere, let
her remain where she is, and not remove
her, provided she is comfortable. See
that her nest is sheltered, however, in
case of rains, which may destroy all her
expectations. If there is danger from
"varmints" at night, it is better to re-
move her to the poultry-house, IL she will
remain on a nest; but if not, il is well to
break her from incubation. 1t is waste
of time for her to sit If her chicks are to
be destroyed by rains or animals.-Fdrm

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR TERMINAL FACILI.
TIES At BUTTE THIS SEASON.

This i'm the Amount which the Northern
Pacific and Montana Railroad Company
VIII Expend for Buildings, ETC.. in
Butte-Orders Issued to Begin Grading
and Leyeling at Once-The Contract Let
for All Work.
The Northern Pacific and Montana Rail.
road company is evidently in earnest in
the matter Of establishing itself at Butte in
the shortest time possible, and to that end
is crowding matters as much ashley an be
crowded.
Orders have been issued that work on the
terminal grounds in this city be commenced
at once, and in q few days q force OF men
will be engaged in grading and leveling the
ground recently secured by the company,
which accomplished, the erection Of freight
and passenger depots, machine shops
round house and other necessary buildings
will follow. All the buildings will be OF brick
and OF modern design and finish. Keefe,
Green, Barbour q Co., the gentlemen who
have the contract for building the Butte.
Gallatin branch, have also secured the con-
tract for building all the improvements
above mentioned. A reliable authority
states that no less than $1OO. 900 will be
expended by the Northern Pacific and Mon
taDa company for terminal facilities alone,
in Butte this season. so
OF course, the immense benefit the dis
bursement OF such q sum of money will be-
to the city can be easily seen, not to men,
ton the large monthly amounts which will
be disbursed regularly thereafter to the
many employees who will be employed by
the company and who win make this city
their home.
With the innumerable railroad improve
ments nov going on, and those in contem.
plation, and every Indication of an early
resumption OF work to their full capacity
in all OF the great mines in the camp, no
good reasons can be advanced why Butte
shall not boom during the coming season
as it never doomed before.
All would be rivals are requested to
make note Of this and stick a pin there.
