Protecting Fruit Trees.

Some fruit growers have much trou-
BILE during the winter seasons from
the depredations of mice among their
small apple trees. Many Of these
trees are entirely girdled and rem
dered worthless. Where snow falls
deep but light, it allows the marau-
ders to work freely along through the
grass and stubble. The only thing
that can be done by those who take
no precautionary measures in the fall
to protect their trees is to keep the
snow packed solidly about each tree

DairyInH.

OF late years the whole practice of
dairying has changed. 1t used to be
that cows were pastured through the
summer and the butter was packed
away for sale late in the fall or
in the winter. Then the buyers
went around and bought up the
stock made in the summer. The
COWS were dry by the first snowfall,
and were merely kept alive through
the winter and turned out on the
fresh grass in the spring. There are
many farmers who got so deep into
this old rut that they could not see
out of it and notice that they were
left behind, and were going on alone,
and quite out of sight of their wide
awake neighbors. AND they are still
pIodding along in the same seclusion.
But others on the lookout for i'm
provements changed their methods
and management, and are making
their cows work and make profit every
day in the year that is possible, and
for the time they must rest this is
chosen when it costs the least for
feeding. Thus winter dalrying is the
basis of the new practice, and by high
feeding at this season and the most
improved methods, butter is made
for sale fresh from the dairy, Or is
packed for sale in the summer. when
the cows can rest at the least cost.
Butter may be made better and more
cheaply in winter than in the sum-
mer by the use of the modern appa-
ratus, and it is far easier to keep the
milk warm by fire at this season than
it is to keep it cold In the summer by
the use of ice And thus winter
dairying will be the rule, and milk
ing ia smndge to fight of the flies.
and allthe dlsagreeable effects on the
hot weather of the summer season,
not to mention the i'll effects on the
cows themselves Of the exposure in
the average dairy to the heat. will be
left for the poor and ignorant dairy
men to endure.-New York Times

BANGKOK, July 30.-While the gov
ernment OF Siam accepted without reser-
walton Frances ultimstum, 1t received
previously the assurance that the king
dom would not be dismembered until
after the consideration by all powers
concerned In frances demand for the
territory between the 18th and 23d
parallels.
1t is somewhat remarkable that be-
fore Prince Vadaha, Siamese minister
in Paris, could have received his In
structions TO accept the ultimatum
Great Britain's refusal to recognize the
blockade had become known in this
city.
The British residents here, while re-
joicing over the action Of the home gov
ernment, don't forget to give credit to
Captain Jones, British Minister in Bang
kok, for his careful and judicious con-
duct throughout the critical period.
Whenever his advice was sought by the
court Capt Jones pronounced in favor
OF moderation aud concession.
The blockade is still maintained. The
British government mail has been
allowed to pass, but mercantile corgo-
spondence with Siamse firms has been
cut off. The French have seized the
Siamese mail steamer Chantaboon and
the Hong Kong steamer Phra Chula,
With 400 Chinese aboard her. The
Phra Chula eventually was allowed to
land her passengers and cargo at
Bangkok.
She will sail for Hong Kong toAmor-
row. OF the British steamers rendered
idle by the blockade, twelve are In the
trade with Hong Kong, eight with Sin
gapore and one in the trade with Bonn

thousand dollars short in his accounts,
which report has created quite an ex-
element 10 our city. For the last
eight years Mr.. Bingham has been

Bingham owes the city Of Wellston
$3.50 franchise money for right OF way,
collected by him from the Ohio South
ern Railroad. He collected from the
same road $500 for Joseph GOOding,
and which, it is said, he has failed to

A GREAT CONSPIRACY.
New England Banking Concerns Vic
timized.
FORGED GRAIN CERTIFICATES
To the Amount of 81, 500, 1000 By
Employees of the Northern
Pacific Elevator Company De-
posted With Eastern Banks as
Collateral-The Elevator Com
pany Wiped Out By the Fraud.

New YORK, July 3O.-The Worlds
Boston special says that huge conspir-
acy has been unearthed, whereby seven
ty-three banks and banking institutions
in New England were vctlmized. The
story is to the effect that certain en-
ployes of the Norther Pacific Elevator
Company, of Minneapolis, issued ST.
500, 600 worth OF forged duplicate cer-
tifcates for grain on storage in the
country" elevators, owned by the
concern, where the inspection is not so
strict as the terminal eleTators. These
forged certificates were deposited with
Eastern banks as collateral. About
500, 900 was secured in New England
and the balance in New York.
Some of the Eastern holders or the
paper became suspicious, and on an In
vestigation being made the true state
of affairs came to light. The stock
holders of the elevators were dumb
founded when the facts came to their
notice, and offers of settlement with
the banks were at once made, and
terms Of compromise offered. The
company was then reorganized as the
Lake Superior Elevator Company, with
Geo. Cooke, Secretary of David DowS &
Co., New York, as President
The terms offered to the
banks we're 60 per cent. cash,
the remainder to be paid in five annual
payments. A committee OF bankers
whose institutions hold large blocks OF
the elevator certificates was appointed
to consider this proposition. 1t is i'm
possible to say exactly what course the
bankers will pursue as they are very
10th 10 talk, and, In fact, they have
done all in their power TO keep the
whole affair from the public. The few
who do say yanything-and they are very
few admit that they have been swind-
led and declare that the swindlers ought
10 be sent to prison. AT the same time,
they say that good business policy, un-
der present conditions forbids such Sc
we're action, especially as the stock
holders of the elevator company are
ready to make compromise settlement.
The Northern Pacific Elevator Com
papy Is now IN the hands OF receiver,
and the frauds Of its employees have
wiped out its existence.
Among the New England banks swim
died are nearly all the State Street in
stitutions here which were hit heavily
by banks at Portland, Me-, and various
banks In the towns about Boston.

compelled 20 20 10 Washington, where the
real battle must be fought He has no
doubt that free coinage will triumph at

bic condition Of affairs all through the

the determination Of the silver people
rnd it may become a battle for the
preservation Of the financial and CONNER
cial interests OF the West and the effect or
the crisis there is becoming apparent IN
the East, and only the establishment OF
free coinage can save the entire nation
from atinaucial ruin worse than any 1t has
ever experienced. The Sherman bill won't
be repealed without an adequate and salts
factory substitute. The battle in Congress
won't be over the repeal Of the Sherman
law, but over the character Of the substi-
tute, and that seems 10 narrow down 70

Associated Press Wortqs Fair SpsctdI:
CHICAGO, July 30.-The Worlds Fair
was open to the public to-day-that
is, the gates were open, but
might as we'll have been closed, for
the public did not seem to care to take
advantage of the fact. Not since the
Fair was opened has the attendance
been so light as it was to-day. The
grounds and Midway Plaisance were
practically deserted. The attendance up
to 3 o'clock including the employees and
concessionares were scarcely 10000,
and the officials at the bureau OF ad-
missions did not think the total for the
entire day and evening would run over
| 1000 If that many.
The grounds had much the same ap-
pearance as they had last Sunday when
the gates were closed. Nearly all
the State buildings were closed, and
so were many of the structures
containing exhibits. And in the build
ings that were open large portion OF
the exhibits were covered up so they
could not be seen. All the restaurants,
cigar stands and drinking water foun-
tains were closed.
There was no attempt on the part OF
the Worlds Fair MANAGEMENT TO make
things attractive to visitors. There
was no music nor attraction OF any
variety, beyond the beauty and granduer
of the White City itself.
There were no religious exercises, and
many of the shows along the Midway
Plaisance had placards tackled up on
the entrance announcing to the few
struggling visitors that there would be
no performance to-day. And tho shows
that had the hardihood to open played
to small houses. The patronage was
hardly large enough to pay running ex-
penses.
However dull the week may have
begun, the remainder of IL promises TO
be unusually lively and interesting.
To begin with, the mechanical engineers
will have day at the Fair tomorrow.
Tuesday the representatives OF New
South Wales will come TO the front with
a grand display, and on Wednesday the
National Union will attend.
The Russians will have day Thurs
day and IL is the announced Intention
OF the representatives Of the Gar to

events will be attended with fireworks
aud music. so that Jackson Park will
