the time for picking is at hand. sOne
of the iveliest, .drivingist times they is
in the hull year." as an apple grower,
who is proud of his success as such, de-
scribed the apple harvest the other day.
Apples grow in most parts of the United
States north Of certain line, but there
are some regions where they are staple
crop, and there you may see such rows
of trim, well kept apple trees, such wide
extending orchards, as, if you are a new
conner, will make you open your eyes for
pure wonder.
It is question in my mind which
presents the most attractive sight-an
apple orchard all white with blossoms
under the blue of an early summer sky
that is relieved here and there with the
snowy heeces of summer clouds, or the
same orchard in the autumn when its
boughs are bending under the weight of
q full crop of red and russell and green
fruit. I shall never forget the first time
I saw the orchards that lie between
the famous ridge road and Lake Ontario
in level western New York. Orchards
were not an unfamiliar sight to me, but
such orchards I had never dreamed of.
It was in June. The air was heavy with
perfume and vibrant with the notes of
song birds, for it was before the ugly
English sparrow had come, to America
and driven the native feathered mu-
sicians from their own. My boyish eyes
had always been used to picturesque IT.

The orchards 1 had known usually
consisted Of 25 or at most 80 trees which
stood near the farinhouses and were re-
,garded moreas luxury than as means
for adding to the income Of the farmers.
The orchards 7 now beheld were acres
and acres in extent, and whole sections
Of 1000 trees would be devoted to one
variety Of apples. Baldwins and Green
ings and Seek-N o-F urthers and Russets
and Northern Spies and others of good
marketable quality were cultivated sys-
tematically and scientifically
The harvest apples that had been so
much of feature in the little orchards
/ knew best were prominent, was told,
in these big orchards only by their ap-
sence To be. sure, once in awhile a
farmer would allow one or two trees to
be grated with early sweet stock just
to furnish eating, or cooking apples for
the summer and earIyfall, but the raising
7 of. apples was not here, an Incidental
matter, it was business throughout.
There were practically no migrated
trees, bearing only knotty. gnarled nat
ural fruit. There were nos solated fence
corner trees. There were no unpruned
trees and no unskilled pruning, for in
such fruit land al, / had now become
resident Of there was enough Of that
work to bring into existence a careful
study of pruning as an exact science,
and whenever man put his knife to
tree in one of those magnificent orchards
he knew just what he waste cut off and
just why he was to doit.

dollars a barrel were obtained for the

Fortunes. as money was there and then
counted, were being made by apple
raisers, and year by year the crop was
greater in quantity and finer in quality.
Peaches, which had before this time been
one of the standbys, were being abandon
ed as the peach orchards passed beyond
the limit of full bearing age, and the
trees were uprooted to make way for the
victorious apple.
Here and there throughout the region
were long, low sheds, under which men
worked from early spring until near the
end of the harvest making barrels for

The Bangor News reports Frank White
of that city, aged 20 years, a woodsman
and general laborer, to have been the
victim of a strange accident, which,
even if he survives, will leave him a
helpless cripple for life. White and his
wife were sleeping in a folding bed in his
brothers. house and the bed suddenly
shut up The contrivance was pried open
and it's victims released. Mrs. White was
not much hurt, but her husband was
injured probably beyond recovery. His
SPINAL column had been wrenched and
paralysis of the lower limbs had re-
suited. Whites stomach is swollen, his
bowels are badly affected and he suffers
great pain in parts, while he can thrust a
iackknife into his leg without feeling it
in the least. The piece of furniture which
brought about this sad catastrophe
is constructed with strong springs which,
during the day time, hold the bed
proper, or couch, upright against cabi-
net. When it is desired to use the bed
the couch is pressed down and braced in
position by means of two wooden bars.
The Peoples Enforcement League is
looking for successor to it's late secre-
tary, j. w. Mitchell. One gentleman has
been offered $4,000 a year for three years
to accept the position, but did not accept
as he has business interests which he can
not neglect. When the right man is en-
gagged an Office and headquarters will

Intimfdating Farmers.

MEMPHIS, Sept 1S-The planters
and ginners all over Northern
Mississippi are in state of terror
The white caps are organized in
nearly every county and have
posted notice On gins forbidding
the owners from ginning cotton
until prices reach ten cents a
pound. Several gin owners dis
regarded the notices and opened
their establishments for business.
The white caps promptly burned
them to the ground and warned
the owners if another attempt was
made to resume business it would
be punished by death.
This has spread CONSERVATION
among other ginners and planters,
whom financial failure stares in
the face on one hand if they don't
make the cotton, while on the
other hand the gins will be burned
if they disobey is the edict of the
Intense excitement pre-
walls in many localities. Governor
Stone has been appealed to by q
of gin owners for protec-
tion.
