BERLIN, June 24.-It is expected that
an international monetary conference
will be called by Germany before Oc-
tober Is. The bundesrath, after re-
ceiving replies from the various fed
era1 governments, stands 40 to 16 in
favor of such a conference. The only
point still unsettled is as to what ex-
tent Germany, in calling the confer
ence. is to engage herself-whether
she is to state the purpose as being the
ultimate restoration of bimetallism or
only to fix upon a new ratio between
gold and silver.

AGRICULTU RAJ.
The Gathering of Apples

One rotten apple in barrelful will
soon spoil most of those in that barrel.
It ia poor practice and worse economy to
nut in specked or worm eaten fruit,
which IS on the downward road to decay.
When you see mans card or address
on a barrel of apples, warranted oil
alike and in good condition." you will
conclude not only that the packer is
honest. but also that he understands his
business. He will want and get the
it. There will be culls, but they had
better be given to stock or made into
cider vinegar than to be packed and thus
spoil the sale of those in fine order.
Take the packing of any other kind OF
fruit-peaches, for instance. When the
baskets are covered with red tarletan and
you are not allowed to undo it, do not
buy that fruit. By the way, am glad
10 notice here that that same red tarletan
has disappeared from the baskets offered
this year in Union Market, st. Louis. 1t
is certainly step in the right direction.
One cannot but admire the packing of
California fruits, more especially cherries,
apricots, plums and prunes. No doubt
the shippers of these fruits found out
long ago that it does not, and never did,
pay to send specked or decayed fruit
across the continent. No more does it
pay to send it across single State.
Practice makes perfect. Packing ap.
pies we'll is trade and must be learned.
Hence, we conclude that it is a wise prac-
tice for shippers to do their own picking
and packing, after they buy the fruit on
the trees. Hence, also. it is desirable to
find many trees in an orchard of the
same variety, because such will ripen at
about the same time and will keep as
long. If you buy a barrel Of Rome
beauty, you do not care to find half or
more of Ben Davis, or if you buy the
white winter Pearmain you do not want
to find half Of them maiden blush, even
if the name and the looks of the latter
may strike you as superior, while in
quality the Pearmain is much superior TO
the maiden blush.
Not many farmers as yet have large
number of trees of one variety, 80 that
ordinarily they will have to do their own
picking and packing. When ripe apples
fall to the ground they are more or less
bruised even if it does not appear readily.
All such had better not be packed, except
for speedy consumption. Pick the apples
carefully into small baskets and after
wards look them over, so that all you do
pack are in the best condition. Place
them carefully in the barrel and gently
shake them until the barrel is full over
the chimb ; then have the head pressed
in by little machine, wooden screw
made for the purpose, or by careful
mau standing on top, and by his weight
press the apples compactly together.
This is necessary to keep them from
bruising while being carried to the
market. Two men may be necessary for
weight, but the machine is best, and
should be secured where any Dumber of
barrels are being packed. Avoid driving
nails through the hoops, which are too
long, and may prick the fruit

The Effect of Lime on the Hay Crop.

At the Maryland Experiment Station
stone lime, at the rate of 20 bushels to
the acre, was applied to piece of land
just before planting corn, two years ago.
The gain in the corn crop was OF bushels
to the acre. The field was then seeded
to wheat and sown with clover and grass.
The increase in the wheat crop was 8.5
bushels to the acre. This year the yield
of hay in the lined field was 1862 pounds
to the acre; whilst on an unlimed field
adjoining the yield was only 1881
pounds to the acre, thus giving an in,
crease of 1871 pounds. or 81 per cent
The director remarks further that from
present appearances there will be still
or, a,er difference in the yield of hay

The New Cotton Bale.
How it was Received by the Cotton Men in
New York

How it was Received by the Cotton Men in
New York.
One of the cylindrical pressed bales
of cotton, of which there has been so
much talk about during the last year, and
of which frequent descriptions have
been published, reached New York one
day last week and was exhibited at the
Cotton Exchange. It met with much
favor and many were of the opinion
that if it was adopted 1t would be of
great benefit to the trade generally.
The matter in which the buyers mani
tested most interest was that of samplinG
cotton under the new process. In the
first place it is impossible for the cotton
to be mixed without it appearing in
either of the ends of the bale. The cot
ton passes direct from the gin into the
condenser, from which it passes in
broad continuous sheet the width of the
bale to the spool upon which it is wound
under great pressure. The very con
struction of the bale, therefore, prec ludes
the possibility of mixing in bad cotton
without it becoming apparent. at the
ends. 1t is possible to secure reliable
samples at the ends.
An automatic sampler takes three or
more samples from the bale as it ia being
prepared, which are afterwards CONS
pared and the ginner puts a sample
together that Is certified to be absolutely
accurate.
This does away with the disfguring of
the bales by cutting to get samples. An
other very desirable feature of the new
process is the compactness with which
it congresses the bale. The bale on ex-
hibition had a density of thirty five
pounds to t cubic foot.
