was notable more for the surplus than Tor
anything else Peaches were particularly
overstocked, ana by the evening the price
had declined very decidedly Peaches
which sold a few days since for Soc only
brought sc. and the price ranged as 10"
as soc for some varieties. There was no
dealer on West street yesterday but had
too many peaches. Boxes lined the street
and the stores were filled.
Plums still sell very cheap. The only
feature OF encouragement at present
seems TO be in the inducement 10 Eastern
sales made profitable by the low price
here. The stock on hand is very large
Prices range from 25c to 4oc box.
Grapes are entirely too plentiful They
have declined to 65lsoc, and the Black
Prince variety brings but 75c. Every deal
er has too many grapes.
Apples are selling at SOC to 81 and the
varieties are very numerous. Blackber-
ries are slow at Toe. Sweet potatoes bring
214c only for extra fine. The profit on po-
tatoes Is so small that dealers are not
handling them extensively. Farmers are
peddling them about town themselves, as
the low price causes them to strive for all
the profits themselves.
Butter sales yesterday were very good.
and eggs are firm at is020c for fancy fresh
ranch.
Reports from the Skagit valley indicate
that farmers are giving their attention
largely To the cat crop and paying little
attention to hay. as II IS too low in price.

Japan Clover.

The botanical name of Japan clover
is Lespedeza Strata, and the special
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture on Agricultural
Grasses and Forage Plants, Qss9) says:
This plant was introduced in some
unknownway, over forty years ago,
from China into the North Atlantic
states. It was little noticed before the
war, but during the war it extended
north and west, and has since spread
rapidly over abandoned fields, along
roadsides and in open woods, and now
furnishes thousands of acres of excel
lent grazing in every one of the gulf
states and is still spreading northward
in Kentucky and Virginia and west
ward in Texas, Indian Territory and
Arkansas.
1t is an annual and furnishes pasture
only during the summer and until
killed by the frost in the fall. The
small purplish blossoms are produced
singly in the axis between leaf and
stem, and the seeds ripen, few at a
time, from about the LIST of August to
the close of the season. 1t reproduces
itself from seed on the same ground
year after year, and on this account
has been enormously called peren-
NAL. 1t will grow on poor soils, either
sand or clay, but prefers the latter It
is better adapted to poor soils than
Bermuda grass, both from giving
more certain and perhaps larger yield
and from being more useful in restor-
ing their fertility. On poor upland
soils it is seldom cut for hay, growing
only from six inches to one foot in
height, and being inclined to spread
out fat upon the surface. On rich,
bottom lands it grows thicker, taller
and more upright and is largely cut
for hay.
1t has been sown artificially only to
a limited extent as yet, but seed is now
offered in the market, and its cultiva-
ton is likely to be literally extended,
especially on lands too dry or poor for
alfalfa, and where the true clovers do
not succeed. Japan clover is remark
able for holding it's own against other
plants. 1t will run out broom sedge
and other inferior plants, and even
Bermuda in some localities. 1t does
not withstand drouth as well as
either Bermuda or johnson grass, but
soon RECEIVERS after rain. The young
plants are easily killed by drouth or
frost, and for this reason good catch
is more certain on an unbrol<en sod
than on well prepared land. Still,
there Is believed to be less difficulty in
obtaining a catch with this than with
some other forage plants. A good
method of seeding is to SOW in March
at the rate of one half bushel per acre,
on small grain sown the previous au.
tumn or winter.

FOND OF THE MELODRAMATIC
Dickens Works Plentifully Sprinkled
With Dramatic Situations.

1t is curious what penchant Dickens
had for certain melodramatic situa-
tons, which seemed to his fancy so
telling that he repeated and reproduced
them many times over. He had lively
dramatic turn, says a writer in the
Gentleman's Magazine, and I always
thought would have had extraordinary
success as a dramatist. 1 once asked
him why he had not taken up this Zine"
seriously, and I think he made the ex-
cuse-it was long ago, many years be-
fore his death-that he had not time,
taste or patience. The real reason, no
doubt, was that he could not work
without expanding, and could not
carve heads upon cherry-stone." A
literary friend, who has his BOZ" at
his fingers ends, has with great acute
ness pointed out to me that Nicholas
Nickleby was genuine "Adelphi walk
ing gentleman" his manner, heroic
bursts, protection of his sister, beard
ing of Ralph, etc., were all elements In
the Adelphi melodrama. Ralph was
regular stage villain. That his works
were all dramatic and conceived in the
true spirit Of the stage is plain from
the vast list Of adaptations. Each story
has been adapted again and again, and
Will pctt tlc pTOCtSS ihC
method of winding up his plot, to which
he was excessively partial, was the UNI
masking Of the villain owing to the be-
trayal of some confederate. The parties
are generally brought together in
room by the more virtuous members;
the confederate then energies from his
concealment and tells long story of
villainy. We have this denouement first
in "Oliver Twist" where Monk makes
his revelations. In "Nickleby" Ralph is
confronted with the man Snawley and
Squeers. In THE Old Curiosity Shop"
Quilp is similarly exposed In "Barna-
by Rudge," Haredale forces his heredi-
tary enemy to make revelations. In
"Chuzzlewit," Jonas Is confronted with
another betrayer. In David Copper
field" Uriah Heap is denounced and ex-
posed by Mr.. Micawber. In BLEAK
House." Lady Dedlock is similarly
tracked. In nearly all the cases the
guilty person goes off and commits
suicide.

Dreamed of the Coming Disa.ter.

Second Engineer Wilson De Hart, of
the fated steamer Longfellow, lives
with his wife and children at 126 West
Eighth street, and was among the
saved, says Louisville Courier-Journal.
His wife dreamed Wednesday night
that the boat was lost with all on board
and 1t preyed so on her mind all day
Thursday that she tried to persuade
her husband not to make the trip.
After bidding him good-by on the boat
she told the chief engineer, Dan Hal
ley, of her dream, and with tears in her
eyes, begged that he endeavor to influ-
ence her husband to remain at home,
as she knew the boat would be lost.
On learning of the accident she ran al
most all the way to Promley in her
cndeavor to keep pace With the float
ing wreck, and was almost wild with
grief before the news of \her husbands
rescue reached her, andi she then re-
fused to be convinced until he was
brought to her.

Renters and Farm Owners.

There is certainly one market in
which the demand is enormously
greater than the supply-the market
in Iowa for Industrious, reliable and
efficacious farm renters, says Sioux
City Journal. Even in so new coun-
try as northwestern Iowa the demand
is an anxious and, seemingly, grow
ing one. The progress of events has
been so rapid, the development of ag-
riculture so rapid, that there are thou
sands now who have farms the culti-
vatlon and use of which they desire to
let to others. The land owners are
looking and bidding against each
other for tenants upon whom they can
rely. There are plenty, too, of those
who want to be tenants, but the prac-
tical trouble is that too many of them
are not desirable for one reason or an
other The man who is content to live
from hand to mouth, to get through the
year any way, to do as little work as
possible, to be afraid lest the farm be
kept up too well, to avail of every ex-
cuse to loaf day in town, to neglect
the thousand little opportunities which
on farm are so big in the aggregate,
or worse still, to exercise ingenuity in
beating the land owner out of every
possible part of his share-this sort of
man is altogether too numerous, as
farm owners have found out by bitter
experience. 1t is really serious diff
Guilty to find suitable tenants. The
market is suffering for lack OF
supply. At least such is the grow
ing complaint of those who
claim to speak from experience. The
explanation a few years ago was that
land was so cheap and to be had on
such easy terms that the enterprising,
thrifty, intelligent man need not be a
renter at all or long, but would be a
land owner. But although the price
of good farm land in northwestern
Iowa is still relatively low, it has ad-
vanced with great rapidity during the
last decade, and it is practically out OF
reach of many. Their capital can be
better employed, for a period at least,
in the use of the land of others. AS a
rule, rent is son share" and not for a
fixed cash compensation, and it prob
ably will be for some time. Under
these conditions the relation of renter
and land owner is necessarily one OF
confidence. Abuse of confidence has
already gone far to ALLEVIATE the two
classes. All theories apart, it has
made a great opportunity for the re-
liable renter. The man who is not
afraid to work, who knows how to
work, and who at the same time can
have it known of him that his word is
as good as his bond, is now and hence
forth will be in demand among farm
owners, no matter how small his
money capital may be. He is the man
for whom land owners are anxiously
looking. The renter who will take
hold and run farm as well as the
owner did who made his fortune out
of its acres, the man who will keep the
farm in repair and good cultivation
and who will strictly and promptly &C.
count for it's use has an inviting field
before him. He can almost command
his price.
