needed. However, it is my practice to
make fruit appear its best at all times;
SO it was not neglected in this instance,
as might have been done If blue or
some other colored netting had been
used.
The matter of shipping safely gave
me some trouble, as it certainly would
not do to consign such fruit to the
ordinary by-no-means tender mercics
of the average express company. How
ever, by going about the business in a
determined but pleasant manner, and
seeing the officials personally, |
arranged with the express messenger
on the train to give especial care to my
baskets Of fruit, and to deliver them to
the express agent at Buffalo. who was
authorized to ign4nly name to the re-
ccipt and to keep them safely until a
man from the store called for them
In this way, although trusting a
good deal to the expressmen, yet /
never had any occasion to complain,
the fruit carried in good condition, and
at very little expense, as each basket
of Is plates cost 121a cents, when two,
or more were sent at a time. | re-
warded the expressmen for their extra
trouble by giving them few quarts of
berries mot of the large ones), and
they were, in consequence. ready to do
all that they could to help me, so far as
careful handling of my fruit was con
cerncd.
Altogether, my shipping experience
was very satisfactory, and think that
the same thing can be done by anyone
similarly situated, by going about it in
the right way. 1t is but natural to sup
pose that; withva longer experience,
some Improvements might suggest
themselves, as was the case with the
second season as compared with the
first one. Elmer L. Summey, in Coun-

Low Standard of Health Caused by Long

ALI doctors whose practice lies at all

how much less able they are rendered
to battle with these evils by the
wretched food Young girls of fifteen
to seventeen soon suffer FROM anemia,
and it is pitiful to see the white cheeks,
bloodless lips and dull eyes which first
tell of this beginning of failure. Older
women find their legs and ankles
swelling, and an incessant aching pain
in the back. Yet many of them bear it
bravely and uncomplainingly, for UNI

Doctors of experience note that differ

HAS FODDER VALUE.

Cattle and Horses Are Said to BE Very
Fond of Pearl Millet.
Among new fodder grasses noted by
the United States department of agri-
culture, pearl millet is considered as
having much fodder value, especially
in the south. Other names are cat-tail
millet and Egyptian millet- 1t is de-
seribed as tall, erect, thick-stemmed
grass, growing to the height of six
feet or more. 1t has an abundance of
broad leaves and is Terminated by a
spike-like panicle, which is compact
and cylindrical, foot long, and re-
sembling the common cat-tail. The

party to pay some attention to de-
msnds thus enforced. The democracy
cannot afford to ignore the alliance
and refuse what it asks, neither dare
it put the suo.tressury plank 10 its
national platform. 1t was all very
funny so long as the alliance was
trenching on republican ground and
capturing the congressional districts
represented by republicans, but it is
not so funny when 1t comes to run
ming the democracy into the deep sea

leading journals of the party are
sharply criticising the policy In con-

The GAZETTE, of the Fort, il in
arms against the committee in Louis
lana that counted out the McEnery
vote in the Sixth New Orleans ward,
and says it is the most outrageous
thing that has happened in that
state since the returning board upset
so many democratic calculations.
The Gazette does not consider the
merit OF the case. That ward did
not comply with the law as to regis
tration and was guilty on the face of
the returns OF doing many things i'm
consistent with a fair ballot and an
honest count. The committee took
all this into consideration and threw
out the whole ward vote. 1t does not
appear what else they could do. The
vote was very close, and if, as APP
peared, there was crooked work by
the McEneryites it was not right
that they should be allowed to pro-
fit by their own rascality. 1t is none
of the LIGHTS funeral, but this paper
is always on the side of equal rights
and fair dealing, even when the con-
test is among democrats, as in this
instance. To tell it as it Is, it made
no difference whose OK was gored,
there was predetermined intention
not to abide by the decision of the
committee, and it was only a ques ton
which party would be forced to bolt.
That bolt was as certain months ago
as death and taxes.
