MONEY CROPS.
What Arc Paying Crops.

To answer by statements of individual
success will be suggestive to some but it
will be misleading TO others. \ ct there
are some general principles which, If
carefully studied and faithfully followed,
will benefit every one. To give up grain
wholly or at once would not be wise. For
instance, one year tomatoes brought q
good price. The next everybody planted
largely. Many bushels wasted. Mishaps
from insects, drought, wet weather, etc,
should be counterbdlanCed by having
several binds of crops. Seve:l acres of
white beans (When prices We're high Were
entirely lost by three weeks rain in

Farmers strain to possess too many
acres. Small farms rightly TILED pay
better. Bring UP your fcrtility-one field

one acre do the work Of two. whether

an especial study Of manuring. Let your

many ways to enrich your land. Farm

which you cannot cultivate. Raise no
crop, not even a pig or chicken unless it
pays. To this end, climate, location, soil
and markets must be considered. How
shall you know if anything pays unless
you keep accurate accounts with every
thing? The Scotch have a proverb, ''Many
Titles make a muckle." Stop leaks. You

This week there is a favorable re-
port of the doings of this popular fra
ternity. Last week there were several
new members initiated in the lodges of
this city and a number of applications
and examinations for membership
filed out. From reports all over the
jurisdiction there has been an awaken
ing and increased interest in the order
is the rule in Utah, Wyoming and
Idaho. Two new lodges of the Degree
of Honor We're instituted recently, one
at Evanston, Wy0., and one at HALEY,
Idaho, making eleven in all in the
jurisdiction and emitting that auxiliary
of the order to a Grand lodge, steps
toward the formation of which will, no
doubt. be shortly taken. Talk of new
lodges at Echo, Coalville, Mercur and
Vernal indicate that the a. o. Z. w.
seed has been sown in good ground.
The thoughtful, sensible people of the
country are investigating the methods
of the A o. u. W. and as they learn
of it's benefits and blessings they are
availing themselves of the opportuni-
ties afforded for participation in the
good the order so generously bestows.

charity, hope and protection, the lee

The discourse will treat of the
principles and objects of the order,

knights of the Maccabees.

The knights of the Maccabees, whose
Synfbolisttc letters are K. 0. T. NJ,
are increa sing in numbers more rapid
ly than any other order of its kind in
America. The order was organized in
1881, and now has a membership in
round numbers of 100000. 1t took in
9,713 new members during the months
Of July, August and September last
and from the first of last January to
the last day of last September, it's in
crease in membership was 30,37S. 1t
furnishes life benefits to its members
from the ages of IS to 81. and provides
that in case of the total and permanent
disability Of a member all further pay
ments by such member ceases and on
proof of such disability such member
may draw out the sum provided for
in his certificate, or policy, at the rate
Of 10 per cent of its face each year. On
reaching the age of 20 years each men,
Der becomes paid up, and from that
time on, upon making proof of the fact
he is entitled to draw out, as in the
case of disability. 10 per cent of his
policy each year thereafter, and should
any such member die before the whole
of his certificate is drawn out the re-
mainder will be paid, at his death, to
his beneficiary.
This feature makes the Maccabees a
ders, because by carrying a certificate
with the K. o. T NJ. they are enabled
in case of total and permanent disa-
bility, to keep intact in their inSur-
ance in such other order. The order
has a graded table of assessments. SO
that it is the special Savorite with
young men, as it enables them to carry
SO. 900 of protection at a very low rate,
which rate never increases after one
becomes member.
The most dangerous occupations are
prohibited and a less dangerous admit
ted at an increased rate. The expense
of management is kept down to the
minimum, there being no separate jul
risdictions to increase cost. The Rblest
insurance men in the Union are at the
head of this great order, and thus it is
insured the wisest and safest manage
ment.
Make an examination for yourself,
and see what class of people are join
ing the NIaccabees. You will find a
class with whom it is an honor to as
socIate The present supreme COM
mander of the order served a term as
speaker of the Michigan house of rep
resentatives, and the supreme counsel
or is a member of congress. Statesmen,
lawyers. doctors, teachers, preachers,
merchants, farmers and eligible men
from all the walks of life take protec-
ton within this grand order. Salt

Rebekah odd Fellowship.

On Saturday evening Miriam lodge

Rebekah lodge No. l, and after the in
itiation of two candidates, both lodges
united in greeting the grand master

fraternal discourse till time was called

With quiet humOr and an occasional
outburst of mirth that chased away
outside cares, and the only regret
seemed to be that happy hours should
pass so swiftly.
The grand lodge officers could not be
too loud in their appreciation of the
work of the degree, and with the uni
form earnestness, which so many ladies
evinced in comforting the same. The

THOUGHTS ON FALL PLANTING.
Why Autumn Setting is Best.

In a recent number of his Fruit In
structor. Charles A. Green has much to
say on the advantages of autumn
planting.
Every fall, says he, 1 plant trees and
vines and other stock fol the following
reasons: 1st-If I delay planting until
spring [ will be so hurried at that busy
season 1 will be likely to forget it al
together 2nd-I find by experience
that trees planted in the fall gain al
most a years growth The fall, winter
and early spring storms pack the earth
firmly about the roots of the trees and
the buds expand. and growth begins at
about the same time in the spring
when the planter is just beginning to
set out his spring purchased stock,
which is a great loss. On removing
trees planted in the fall I find that
roots have formed during the fall
months, before winter came on, and by
the time trees would ordinarily be
planted in the spring, fall planted trees
are firmly established and had made
vigorous growth. 3rd-Nurserymen are
not so busy in the fall and orders Of
their patrons are more promptly at
tended to and the patrons are more apt
to get better service than in the hur-
ried spring season. 4th-After fall
rains the soil is in the best possible
condition for planting. while in spring
it is often too wet. This is a very i'm
portant consideration. 5th-Blackber-
ries, black cap raspberries, red rasp-
berries and some other items have ten
der germs which are often so far adj
vanced in the spring as to easily injure
them, whereas if planted in the fall
these germs are much better for en-
during the transportation and the
shock of planting. Currants and goose
berries should always be planted in fall
as they begin growth too early in the
spring for spring planting Last fall
planted a hedge row of Dwarf pears
across my garden. L selected some
crooked specimens that were not good
enough to send to our patrons, cutting
off all the branches and tops, except a
few stubs of branches 8 or 4 inches
long If you had seen this row Of trees
after pruning you would have said that
I had destroyed them by this severe
pruning. I should not have pruned
them so closely had the trees been Of
good form. Today I have examined
this row of trees. They are planted
only feet apart in the row and find
a new growth of from 2 to 4 feet.
These trees will now De very low
branched, just as dwarf trees should
grow Had 1 planted them this spring
they would have simply leaved out and
made no growth whatever
There are some items which 1 do not
advise planting in the fall. These are
strawberries and peach trees, or any
thing not entirely hardy. Strawberry
plants set out late in the fall do not
get firmly established in the soil. and
unless carefully mulched an1 planted
on friable soil they are apt TO be
heaved up by the frost. This reminds
me that all fall pls nted trees or plants
should be mulched with straw litter
to protect them from the frost. This
is not absolutely necessary on high. dry
soil. but is advisable elsewhere as a
matter of caution.

DUCKS ARE MONEY MAKERS.

Ducks are money makers in every
sense of the word and require little at
tention They are able to take care of
themselves for about eight months of
the year. provided they are given ac-
cess to the farm. Get two or three this
fall and give them a fair trial The
pure breeds are much more easily kept
than common puddle ducks, as they
can be profitable produced without
ponds. The best and most popular
breeds are the Pekin, Aylesbury
Rouen and Cayuga. The first two are
white, while the Cayuga and Rouen
have beautiful variegated pIumage
These breeds are all large individuals,
sometimes reaching a weight of ten
pounds. They require no more feed
or attention than common ducks and
will reach maturity at an earlier age.

A BAD BATTLESHIP.
Draws Three Feet Less Aft Than
Forward, and Lists to Starboard

NEW YORK Oct. 27.--The Herald pub
fishes a statement this morning that
the new second-clas5 battlesbip Maine
which is to go to sea tomorrow draws
three feet less water aft than forward
and also that she mas a bad list to star
board, her right side being sunk deeper
than the left side. A naval expert who
looked at the ship when at Brooklyn
thus sums up her defects:
"The facts are the Maine draws three
feet more forward than she does aft.
that she leans over 10 starboard con-
siderably; that being now ready for
starting. having taken aboard her full
coal supply of 800 tons, and her COM
plete outfit of men, stores and ammuni-
ton. she should float symetrcally if she
was properly designed, and that ner de-
fective floating lines must be due to
radical and permanent causes and not
to a mere temporary misplacing of her
weights
The officers of the ship are reported to
be reticent concerning these alleged
faults and it is not known who is re-
sponsible for. them, although they may
be due merely to careless loading. In
all other respects the ship is said to be
a model and her machinery, which was
given a dock trial Saturday, worked per-
fectly,

BEHRING SEA CONVENTION.
of the British Representa-.
tiyes at the CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Sir Mckenzie
Bowel, premier of Canada, and Sir
Charles Topper, minister of justice in the
Canadian cabinet, arrived here today and
are guests of Sir Julian Pauncefote, at
the British embassy. They come to take
part in the Bering sea convention, the
first session of which has been set for
Wednesday next at the state department..
The premier is well advanced in years,
but still vigorous and active. He held a
portfolio in the cabinet when Sir John
Macdonald was premier and again when
Sir John Thompson 4cok the head of the
cabinet. On the sudden death of Sir
ago, Mckenzie Bowel was advanced to
the premiership. Sir Charles Upper is
the younger member of the famous Tup-
per family. The elder Upper is remem-
bered in Washington as one of the chief
factor in the international fisheries COM
mission, which met here during Mr.
Cleveland's first administration Later
he went to London as the Canadian COM
missioner at the seat of the British gov
ernment Sir Charles, the son, now here,
was minister of marine and fisheries at
the time the United States cutters seized
the Canadian sealers in the Bering sea
and is fully conversant with that sub
ject.
Both Mckenzie Bowel and Sir Charles
Topper have been identified with that
policy of the conservative party of Can
lines independent of the United States
in opposition to the policy of the Liberal
party, in favor of Commercial union
with this country. But aside from this
opposition they have maintained a most
friendly relation with the United States.
