very interesting letters on Holland,

Dear Sir:-It seems that a good
many understand by my advertise
ment that I have about sold out nv
apple trees, or nearly so. wish YOU
would call the attention of the public to
the fact that still have i'm stock apple
trees of all the leading varities; also
have fine stock of pear, plum, cherry,
and peach; and grape vines and small
fruit plants.
MOTEL have made arrangements
to keep in stock all the latest new va
rieties of plum and cherry out; will
offer the Luelling cherry, from Port
land, Ore, said to he the largest cher
ry known; also the Art Helm, Ger
man cherry of great excellence; will
offer the Olivet, a new variety of
French origin, and many other new
varieties. Also will offer some new
plum, such as Forest Rose, fine new
variety, and DeSoto, bright red
plum recommended highly, and Gold
en- Beauty, another very fine plum;
Pottawatomie, another fine plum
Wolf, another fine plum, freestone,
been tested q years without failure;
another good plum, Botan, or A Abund-
ance, it is Japan variety and has
proven to be plum of great excellence.
Will have other new varieties in stock.
Come to the nursery and see what we
have. You will find here on our
grounds most anything that you can
get in any of the eastern nurseries and
it will be fresh. I have made arrange
ments with the best nurseries in the
L. s. for stock such as I do not grow
and it will be strictly first-class and
true to name. By coming direct to the
and seeing the stock it will
give good satisfaction.

When you take into account the
fact that it requires forty percent more
labor and material 70 put up this add
itional quantity of seeds, we can at
once see the effect of the reform wo, k
ed by Secretary Rusk tn doing all
this without expending a dollar more
than the usual appropriation. The
most careful and rigid examination of
expenditures upon business principles
has been enforced, and everybody
held to strict accountability. The
percentage of termination of all seeds
purchased has been 95 per cent, and
not seed has been sent out without
first being thoroughly tested, and
those of an inferior quality returned
to the dealer.
This is as it should be, "the public
funds are sacred trust and not pri-
vate snap"
AS will be seen the number of pack
ages of seeds sent out in 1890 exceeded
those of 1889 by over a million. 1t is
expected that when the present fiscal
year has closed it will exceed 1890 fig
ures by a million, thus adding two
million packages to the quantity sup
piled the people, and the quality of
the seeds has improved to such a de-
gree that it is almost impossible for
the Department to supply the appli-
cants by letter.
Where formerly doubt and failure
was the rule, now the very best seeds
grown are supplied, as indicated by
the increased demand of individual
applicants. And this is only one of
the subdivisions of this great depart
ment which has received an infusion
of new blood, fresh from the brain of
the farmer from Wisconsin.
Although the Secretary is the "tail
of the Cabinet" he makes it mighty
lively for the "blow-flies', who have
hung upon the "pickings" of this De-
partment. Very truly,
X. G. HOPPER.

How Government Seeds are Distributed
WASHINGTON, ID. c.
APRIL %. 1891.

" aShIN1ION, IL. ~.
APRIL %, 1891.
Editor Register: Perhaps a few
lines upon the manner of distributing
seeds by the Department of Agricul-
ture will prove of interest to your
many readers.
Congress annually appropriates the
sum of one hundred thousand dollers,
for the purchase and distribution of
seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs, vines, cut
tings and plants. This sum covers
all expense of labor, transportation,
paper, twine, gum etc., to be distribu-
ted as follows: "An equal proportion
of two thirds of all shall, upon their
request be supplied to Senators,
Representatives and Delegates in Con-
gress for distribution among their con-
stituents." This leaves one third of
the whole amount to be distributed
by the Secretary, upon application
from individuals and societies. The
usual plan of purchase of these seeds
has been, to make out lists and send
around to dealers who were politically
in sympathy with the Administration;
the consequence is that high prices
have been paid and inferior seeds fur
nished, so that for years people all
over the country had come to the con-
clusion that the Department of Agris
culture as a propagator of seeds was a
big humbug.
This cannot be properly charged to
either of the political parties, but it
was rut, and it required a strong
firm hand, guided by an honest prao-
tical brain to sever the Gordian Knot,
and Secretary ]. NJ. Rusk, was the
very man to accomplish this.
That your readers may know how
Secretary Rusk has accomplished this,
1 will give you a few figures, first
stating that in July, 1889, the egiu-
ing of his first years management, the
Secretary secured the services of a
first-class man in Capt. r.. J. Whittli-
ton, of Illinois, into whose hands he
confided the purchase of all seeds.
Capt. Whittiiton made a visit to all
the leading seed houses in the coun-
try, made himself acquainted with
the seed prospect, procured PROPOSE
tioas from the various houses, and af-
ter becoming master of the subject,
made his orders upon business prin-
ciples regardless of the politics of the
dealers, and here we have the result
of the first year of Secretary Rusk's
management as compared with the
old way:

CHAPTER XIV.

Once more the cloud of passing time de-
scended and was lifted Then the walls Of
the house were opened, and in low arched
chamber the rabbis sat about black table.
1t was night, and a single smoking lamp was
lighted, mere wick projecting out Of a
three-cornered vessel of copper. which was
full of oil and was hung from the vault with
blackened wires. Seven rabbis sat at the
board, and at the head sat Lazarus. Their
crooked hands and claw-like nails moved
uneasily, and there was lurid fire in their
vulture's eyes. They bent forward, speak
ing to each other in low tones, and from
beneath their greasy caps their anointed side
curls dangled and swung as they moved
their heads. But Levi the Short Handed
was not among them. Their muf1ed talk
was interrupted from time to time by the
sound Of sharp, loud blows, ds of hammer
striking upon nails, and as though car
penter were at work not far from the room
in which they sat.
"He has not repented," said Lazarus,
from his place. Neither many stripes,
nor cold, nor hunger, nor thirst have moved
him to Righteousness. 1t is written that he
shall be cut off from his people"
'He shall be cut off," answered the rab-
bis with one voice.
SIT is right and just that he should die"

salutation; or ''good morning." which they
seemed to regard as an intensitive; jests fol-
lowed, they surrounded me with harsh laugh
ter and ru lie looks. and was glad to move
away. Ihai not yet encountered Mr.. Stew
art, or should have been reminded of his
first landing at Atuona, and the humorist
who nibbled at the heel. But their neigh
borhood depressed me, and 1 felt, if 1 had
been there a castaway' and out of reach Of
help, nv heart would have been sick.
Living for the Poetry ofIt
Many of the whites who are to be found
scattered in the South Seas represent the
more artistic portion of their class, and not
only enjoy the poetry of that new life, but
came there on purpose to enjoy it. 1 have
BEEN shipmates with man, no longer young,
who sailed upon that voyage, his first time
to sea, for the mere love of Samoa; and it
was few letters in newspaper that sent
him on that pilgrimage.
Mr.. McCallum was another instance of
the same. He had read of the South Seas,
loved to read of them, and let their image
fAsten In his heart, till he could refrain no
longer-must set forth, new Rudel, for that
unseen homeland-and has now dwelt for
years in Hiva-oa, and will lay his bones
there in the end with full content, having no
desire to behold again the places of his boy
hood. only, perhaps-once, before he dies
