FRUITS NOT A LUxUgY.

When the writer was a boy. fruits
were so rare and expensive they were
a luxury. Up to fifteen years of age
had not eaten a pear of good quality.
I remember my brother bringing from
the city a fine specimen which I looked
upon with envy. How different are the
circumstances at present. We have
learned that fruits are within the reach
of even the poorest man who owns or
occupies a few rods of garden. Even
the humblest individual enjoys his re-
past of fruit, and deems it a necessity,
not Only as regards the delight taken
in its consumption, but in the nourish-
ing and medicinal qualities which fruit
possesses. And more than all, is the
attractiveness which fruit-baaring trees
and plants add to the home. The pear
tree which costs you IS cents, in a few
years you would not have cut down for
$25.-C. A. Green.

MUTTON ANn WOOL.

A few years ago sheep for wool was
of the greatest value, and breeders
endeavored to produce animals that
would have the smallest size bodies
and the greatest quantity of good wool
It was supposed that the smaller the
body the less food the animal would
require to support life. Mutton was
counted as nothing then, only mere
incident in the life Of the sheep. But
it was soon found that there was a
limit to this work, and that the heavy
wooded sheep ate near.y as much
food as the tnin-woolled kinds Of larger
growth. In other words it took nearly
as much food TO produce wool as it
did to produce mutton.
Then came the demand for good NUT
ton and first-class lambs Mutton
properly raised was found to have a
value that seemed to increase as the
price of wool decreased. Many breed
ers came to the conclusion that ton
of food would give more profit when
converted into mutton than if fed for

CULTIVATION OF ORCHARDS.
What is Necessary In Order to Oh.
tain a Profitable Crop.

On no other part of the farm is so
little attention bestowed as on the or
chard This is the more singular as
so much is required Of it. The farmer
knows he must fertilize and cultivate
his fields if he wants crop to harvest,
but with the orchard he expects to
gather where he has not fed or TILED.
If he would only stop to consider he
would realize that trees, like men, can
die of starvation, and If only imper-
fectly nourished only inferior fruit
can be produced.
To be profitable orchards must re-
ceive as good care as other crops. To
call attention to their requirements
the Cornell station has issued bull
letin on the cultivation of orchards.
Some Of the points insisted on are the
necessity for good drainage, natural
or artificial, the value Of good tillage
in increasing the available food sup
ply and conserving moisture and the
general superiority of level culture.
Sod is sometimes allowable in apple
and standard pear orchards, but never
in other fruit plantations, says the
bulletin. Even then is should 0e pas
tured closely with sheep or hogs If
the stock is fed at the same time the
land viii fare better. Watch a sod
orchard. 1t will begin to fail before
you know IL Inc remedy LOT JHeSe
apple failures is to cut down many Of
the orchards. For the remainder, the
treatment is cultivation, fertilizing,
spraying-the trinity Of orthodox
apple growing.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly
after they come into bearing. An an
nual application of from 500 tc 200
pounds of muriate of potash may be
used to the acre in mature orchards.
Cultivation should begin early and be
continued often. 1t may be stopped
late in the season and crop can
then be sown upon the land TO serve
both as protection to the soil and as
a green manure Crimson clover would
seem to be the best for this purpose.

ORCHARD GRASS.

A recent bulletin (No. 29 of the Ark
ansas experiment station speaks a
good word for orchard grass. The
great value Of this grass has often
been pointed out by prominent writers.
Peter Henderson's recommendation of it
in How the Farm Pays" is very en-
phatic. Yet many farmers continue to
grow, or attempt to grow, timothy
under conditions that are far more
favorable to orchard-grass. The trials
made by the station people, for in
stance, resulted largely in its favor.
Orchard-grass possesses a much larger
root system than timothy, truly says
the report; and its roots penetrate the
soil to much greater area and depth.
Consequently it has a much larger
territory from which to secure it's food
and water supply, and that partially.
If not entirely, explains it's capacity

is often associated with the meanest

Witty to those in high places, and ar

IN The HOUSE,
The Armor investigating Committee Reports
Trouble Over It's Acceptance.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-In the House,
Cumming, chairman of the committee on
naval sffsirs, presented a privilege report
from the committee, relating to the invesl-
CATION of alleged frauds in the manufacture
of srmor plates to be taken from certain
vessels. Payne suggested that none Of the
minority members of the committee were
present, to which Cummings responded that
the report had the sanction of the Republi-
can members and he was authorized by the
committee to make the report Stone said
he had been informed differently, but had
no desire to contradict the gentleman.
The resolution wss Iead and Stone asked
if there was anything in the report which
looked to the refunding of fines imposed on
the Carnegie Company in case these plates
we're found up to the standard required by
the contract. Cummings replied that the
r, solution was drawn 10 exact consonance
with the resolution of the House directing
the committee to make an investigation.
The committee had nov arrived, he said, at
\ point where it was necessary to know fur
thrr about the plates. and that could only
be learned by the test. proposed.
After some further colloquy between
Stone and Cumming, The latter asserted
that the sole purpose of the report was to
show the necessity for making test. At
the request Of both gentlemen, the clerk be-
gan reading the report, but was speedily in

STILL IN DOUBT.
General Opinion That President Will
Not Sign Tariff Bill.
Democrats Afraid That So Doing Will Greatly
Hurt tbs Party.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23,-When il was
known that Speaker Crisp had seen Mr..
Cleveland, today, there was rush of men,
bers to the Speakers room, to learn the
Presidents intention rs to the tariff. All
the Speaker would say WAS that the Presi-
dent would probably allow the bill to be-
come u law without his signature. lie said
that the President had not told him what he
would do, but from his general conversa-
ton regarding the bill, the Speaker made
the foregoing deduction.
The President, it is said, has not hesi-
tated to express to some of his callers his
objections to the bill. These objections
are as strong, today, as when his famous
letter to Chairman Wilson was read
in the House, more than month ago.
None of those who saw the President asked
whether he would veto the bill. The con-
stitutional limit of 10 days, in which the
bill may become operative without the
Presidents signature, will be reached at
midnight, Monday.
Some of the Democratic senators who
saw the President, this morning, have
urged him strongly to sign the bill. They
represented that any other course would
discredit the measure and the party, and
would be n serious handicap to them on the
stump during the October campaign. The
President 10 reported to have heard these
gentlemen patiently, and TO have shown by
his responses that he was not insensible to
their argument. In some cases they r. =
turned to the Capitol, feeling that there
was possibility that the Presidential sis =
nature would be affixed to the measure.

terrupted by Stone, who said that he did
not care to further press the request for
reading the report. He wanted to ask the
consent of the minority of the committee,
none OF whom were present, today, that
thay might be permitted to file a report in
case they desired. Cummings said the
committee and subcommittee were unsni-
nous in making the report, and he said he
objected to the request of the gentleman.
Cannon asked Cummings if the report
contained anything about the fining of the
Carnegie Company BY President Cleveland.
Cummings replied that the matter was not
included in the resolution authorizing the
Investigation, and the committee did not re-
fer to it. Stone said; Now in the sb-
sence of the members of the minority of
the subcommittee, / simply ask that If
they should desire to file a minority report
hereafter, that they have leave to do So"
Cummings-Do You want the Carnegie
Company to attempt TO buy somebody to
make minority report?
Stone-l want the Carnegie Company to
have what they have not yet had, fair play
in this thing, and which they will not have
if you have your way about it.
Cummings-They have had fair play.
The Carnegie Company has had in its en-
ploy for two years an officer of the United
States navy, given leave of absence with
pay. who went on the retired list last De-
cember, all officer who represented the Car
negle Company at every meeting held by
the committee of the investigation, while
the navy department was entirely unrepre-
sented. The company had its own stenog-
rapher before the committee taking the tes-
timopy. Has the Carnegie Company had
fair play or not?
Stone-No, certainly not, now that you
refuse accompanying your report
with statement of the min
ority of this investigating committee.
Cummings-I am not authorized by
the committee on naval affairs to acce pl
any such motion, and will not accept it.
Henderson said he hoped there would be
no objection to the consideration of the res
olution by any members of the minority.
A member of the committee told him that
there WAS to be no minority report.
Stone said he desired only fair play. and
did not want to appear as one of obstruc'
ton, and would withdraw his opposition to
the resolution. He remarked that he OBJ.
jected to bringing in verdict before the ties.
limony was heard. Cummings stated that the
resolution was not based upon the testimony
of what the Carnegie company could called
'informers." but upon the admissions OF
the Carnegie officials themselves.
Stone--All right; nobody is objecting tc
your resolution.
The resolution was agreed to. The report
was ordered printed in the record and as a
