Chief Arthur's Request Refused by Manager
Ashley of the Ann Arbor Road.
TOLEDO, o.. March 6.-In a conference to-
day with Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers General Manager
Ashley. of the Toledo. Ann Arbor Il North
Michigan railway, reiterated his statement
that the company could not afford to
accede TO the demands of its engineers.
The result is that Chief Arthur will
probably order the men out to-mor-
row. This evening Chief Sargent, of the
locomotive hremen, was summoned to con-
fer with Chief Arthur. He was to have
come III on a late tram, but wired that he
could not reach here until tomorrow
morning. Pending his arrival nothing
will be done. The Ann Arbor road has q
number of nonunion men In the city who
are ready TO go to work as soon as tho
others are ordered out. Employees of lines
connecting with the Ann Arbor have de-
clared that they will handle no freight
from that road il ponunion men are put on.

THE OVERDUE NAR0NIC.

No Trace of the Missing White Star Steamer
Agents stiil Have Hopes of Her Safety.
NEW YORK, March 6.-The White Star
steamer Naronio is still among the missing
crafts. She is now twelve days overdue
and there is not single trace of her where
abouts. Twenty-Five days is q long time
for one of the largest and fastest cargo
steamers to occupy In q passage of three
thousand miles. The overdue Italy. which
it was thought might have the Naronio in
tow, arrived to-day and reports that she
saw nothing Of the missing freighter. A
similar tale was told by all the other steam
ships arriving to-day. Not few express
the belief that the big craft. with crew,
passengers and valuable cargo, has gone
to the bottom. few believe
that the craft is broken down and Is beln g
towed. The transatlantic lane is only
sixty seven miles wide. and it Is unreason-
able to suppose. 30 steamship men sHv, that
the ship has not been within the limits of
this track since she left the Mersey. Ono
hundred and seventy-eight steamers have
crossed and recrossed the lane since that
time. The vessel has either drifted far south
OF the track. with machinery dieabled. or q
more serious accident has hefallen her.
1t is possible that she has been nipped by
an Ice foe Off the coast of Newfoundland.

vessel now lies In the Azores. There lie
no telegrapbic communication between the
Azores and Portugal, the route of the mail
steamers. The last mail advices from the
islands arrived five days ago. The.overdue
vessel may have been towed into the
islands since that time. The four hundred
odd passengers OF the steamer Denmark.
which were saved by the Missouri, were
eleven days at the Azores before the news
reached this country. The Anchoria Was

fore any definite news came from them.
These facts the agents of the Naronic cite
to show that there is still hope for the
vessel.

Columbian Fair Baling Presses.

The thirteen exhibits Of Continuous
Baling Presses at the Fair probably at
tracted more attention, and were pro-
ductive of more controversy than any
other class in Agricultural Hail. 1t ap-
pears that July 9th they were all mott
fed to go out for field trial together on
the 10Th of September. The exhibitors
protested against field trial-except De-
derrick, the original inventor of the Con-
tinuous Press, who cOntended that it
was impossible to determine their mer-
it's without competitive field test, and
the Executive Committee declined to re-
woke the order.
Dederick & Co.'S. machines alone ap-
peared for test on the field appointed,
and Dederick's exhibitors left the ma
chimes on the test field, with the pub
licly avowed intention of running them

against any and all machines that APP
peared thereafter during the Fair.
Thereafter, when floor examination
was again refused, the others, some of
them, were then willing to operate their
machines, but did not seem inclined to
do 50 on the test field. and finally sue
ceeded in securing what was called by
exhibitors "a back yard test,' and diff
ferent judges appointed, one of which
went with each to their mandatory or
elsewhere to see their machines in Oper-
alton alone, evidently out Of the range OF
Dederick's machines on guard.

and growers should look we'll to that

Varieties are not SO important as the
clipping, asserting and handling. Some
BUYERS prefer the Eureka, others the

but all agree as to uniformity in size,
great care in clipping and absolute eau
ton in handling the fruit, both in re-
moving it from the tree. in placing 1t

many people in this part Of the country
have not undertaken the cultivation of
lemons from the fact that they feared
they would fail in curing tnem-unless
they first provided themselves with
double walled houses and cemeRted Gel
lars, which they deemed necessary for
the purpose, and which they-many of
them-were unable to do.
We believe, from the tests made, that
while double walls and double roofs
would be quite useful in the curing of
lemons, curing can be done without
these, care in clipping and handling be-
ing more important than anything else.
1t is true double walls and roofs would
tend to reduce the temperature, but 1t
is not of so mich Importance as care in
handling.

Camphor Trees in the United States.

Although the camphOr tree is native
of China, Japan and FOrmOsa, the au-
thorities Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture state that it has
been subject of distributin by the de-
partment for nearly thirty years. 1T is
a very ornamental plant and has been
used to some extent as a shade tree.
The trees thus distributed are grown
from seeds, the plants being raised in
the nurseries of the department. The
camphor tree tiourishes in perfection IN
some of the Southern States, especially
along the Gulf Coasts 1t grows rapidly
from the seed, and the Department of
Agriculture has frequently received
seeds from this source which were sOWn
in garden border, as a common garden
pea is sOWn, rapidly vegetate and form
plants from eighteen inches to two feet
in height the first season While the
camphOr tree fOurishes best in warm
climates, it will stand twenty degrees of
frost without being in ured, and any
locality where the thermometer does not
show lower than twenty degrees f. is
fitted for the growth of the plant. A
large number of trees were raised by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture in 1877 from seed sent from
South Carolina, where trees are growing.
Plants obtained from this seed were sent
into the Southern States mainly as or
namental or sha de trees. 1t was found
that it answered we'll as a shade tree,
especially in Florida, though not much
was expected of it in the way of prOduc-
ing camphOr as a commercial product.
interest in the growing of camphOr
trees has recently been stimulated by
the great increase in the price of gum
camphor. This advance was caused by
the quantities of the article which have
been used in the manufacture Of smoke
less powder, and also by the increased
demand from makers Of cellulOid goods
both in this country and in Europe. Be-
fore the introduction of cellulOd goods
about all the uses to which camphOr
was put was the preserving Of clothing
and fur goods from the depredatiOns Of
moths and in medicine; but now large
quantities of the commodity are used in
ce,lulOid manufacture and the prOduc-

Bananas for Home Use.

Mr.. w. p Neeld, of Pinellas who is
we'll known to all the readers of the AG-
RICULTURIsT, writes as follows to the
Tampa Times:
A long time ago ''old Charley Hoy
was digging out a banana patch and |
asked him why he did that. He said
he preferred to plant the land with sweet
potatoes ''they sell better and we like
them BETTER" but thought Of the old
lady who kissed the COW, and Of the mig
ger and the steamb boat captain about the
coon. Now we all like bananas better
than the potatoes, besides the bananas
never run out like the potatoes, and they
are easier made if the land is adapted.
A fifty fingered bunch Of bananas cost
about ten cents to make; but will always
sell for half dollar and then be the
cheapest food even the poor can buy. L
don't know for the life of me how | got
along twelve or fourteen years in Flor
ida without a banana patch, but the
same as | did others are now doing.
The fear of frost restraints some people
but it should not, for banana plant is
never killed by the frost. 1t is only
leaves and the young fruit. Such fruit
as is nearly mature can be cut and
housed when freeze is expected. The
percentage of loss from this cause would
be too trifiing to think Of
Select damp we'll drained place, and
fertiliZe it we'll, put on all the stable
manure, compost, cotton seed meal, or
blood and bone you can get or afford,
and after cultiyating it in good throw
up beds eight feet wide and along this
bed set the plants, and then mulch the
whole if you are not afraid of work and
you like to have something that you will
be proud to show people and to give the
children when they come to see you, in
fact grown people never refuse nice
large ripe banana any more than any
other good thing. A banana patch will
not last longer than ten or twenty years!
that's why some people don't plant
them!

Advice on Lemon { ulture.

AUVACG Ou ACXUUu y
AS the acreage being set to lemons is
increasing, II few general hints upon the
subject of curing lemons may be of use
to the amateur lemon grower; writes Il.
L. Threlkeld for the Los Angeles Herald:
Gathering The fruit is the first step in
the process of curing. Care should be
taken to remove the fruit from the tree
as soon as it is large enough, without ref
erence to its greenness or rather it's ri pc
ness. The fruit should be clipped not
pulled off. as it reaches proper size
about the size that will pass through a
three-inch ring may be called the proper
size. Care should be taken to clip the
fruit at uniform size and to handle it
with caution to prevent bruising.
After gathering, lemons should be
placed in boxes, about the size of an or
binary apple box, and set in cool, dry
place, there to remain, Say two or three
days, when they should be carefully
packed in lemon boxes (such as are used
for shipping lemons and oranges). Care
should be taken not to pack too closely
or to pack the boxes too full.
When they are carefully wrapped and
packed in the cases they should be put
away in cool, dry place, placing these
carefully packed cases in tiers about five
cases high and side by side-fifty, sixty
or hundred boxes may be stacked to-
. gether When the cases are thus placed
they should be covered with old sacks,
horse blankets or other ordinary cover
ing, where they may be permitted to re-
main for fifteen or twenty days unmo-
Tested.
1t may be we'll to remark that dryness
in curing lemons is quite as essential, if
not more so than GOODNESS; for if the
temperature is lowered in any manner
whatever by contact with dampness
lemons will rot before the chemical pro-
cess of willing, yellOwiEg and absorption
begins The cases after being packed
should be placed say half an inch apart,
so as to admit of the circulation Of pure
air, not forgetting that draft OF air
should be avoided After the fruit has
remained in the cases piled and covered
as indicated, for say fifteen or twenty
days, the grower in the meantime look
ing into some Of the cases occasionally
to see what progress it is making in the
way of curing, the fruit should then be
unpacked, unwrapped and permitted to
lie in the open air-carefully avoiding
a draft-fOr an hour or two, when it
should be carefully re-wrapped with
new tissue paper and repacked into dry
clean cases and again piled and covered
as before, and again permitted to remain
in the cases for twenty, thirty, sixty or
ninety days before being placed on the
market.
1t may be we'll to say that in the re
packing and recasing, if any of the lem
