Many Berlin butchers have gone
into bankruptcy i'm consequence Of
the continued prohibition of the i'm
pOrtation Of cattle and pigs. Another
consequence is a scarcity of fat stock

10 Berlin alone seventy horses a day
are slaughtered, the flesh being easily
bought at moderate prices.

A Richmond, Va, paper says: The
feature Of the day was the unusually
large attendance of business men at
divine services. In his sermon at Mon
umental Episcopal Church The rector,
Rev. John B. Newton, made this ref
erence 10 trusts: zone Of the greatest
evils Of to-day is the trusts organized
by rich men, who. by the power Of
money, are destroying the honest re-
turn 10 our farmers by cutting down
the real value Of our crops. The labor
ing mau should have a fair return for
his labor, and until this is settled and
established we must expect trouble,
and the sooner corporations fully I'M
derstand this the better it will be for
them and for mankind"
We clip the following from the Far
mers' Voice Seven bushels of apples
have been plucked this season from an
apple tree on the Beaver property at
Leicester. The tree was planted 127
years ago. Western North Carolina has
long sustained a most favorable char
acter for its fruit, especially its apples.
Ii may not enter the contest in the
matter Of age Of its trees, but can easily
beat the record of bushels Note the
following which was handed us by the
first friend to whom we showed the
above statement "There is an apple
tree on the place Of John A. Orsborne,
in Henderson county, from which one
hundred bushels Of apples have been
gathered for two successive years. Mr..
w. ID. Miller picked them ."-Ashville

J. w. Dorsey, a prominent attorney
Of Nevada, recently said to a reporter: :
II has been years since things looked
so blue and hopeless. The time was
when ordinary stock cattle brought
two and three times as much as now.
The succession Of dry winters has
brought au unparalleled scarcity of
water and pasturage. In summer
thousands OF cattle have starved to
death virtually, and, if they will die
in the summer, what are we to expect
this winter? Thousands Of head have
been driven this summer iutO Idaho,
Oregon. Montana and the Suake river
country, csttlemen from Winnemueca
east prefer 10 risk the northern winter
tOl citing their cattle remain. Others
have driven their herds into Southern
Nevada for the mild winter, counting
on a severe winter up north to bring
out plenty Of pasturage in the spring.
The demand is good for turkeys at
this season, and the receipts are about
equal. The wholesale prices are 8 to 10
cents per pound. The goose also has
its admirers, and many a person
in Baltimore think Thanksgiving not
properly observed unless a plump fowl
of this kind Gecorates the table. The
waterway counties furnish the larger
part of the receipts, Kent Island being
famous for its geese. The geese are
quoted at so TO IS cents apiece. Wild
ducks are coming in fairly well aud are
good condition. Msllards can be bought
at 81 10 81 IS a pair, and canvas backs
$ to S. pair. Partridges are more
plentiful this year than for several sea-
sons past. The birds are well grown.
The partridges are quoted at $3.50 to s.
per dozen. Rabbits are unusually
