American Agriculturist reports that,
despite the partial failure Of the apple
crop in New York state, the metropoli-
tan market has been more than we'll
supplied with apples the present season.
There are some notable facts apparent
in this seasons show of fruit There
seems to be greater variety of apples
than is commonly seen at this season,
and among these are some, now quite
plentiful which have of late years been
extremely scarce such as Newtown pip
pin, Esopus spitzenburg, Jonathan,
Rawle's Genet, Swaar, Seek No Fur
ther and Dominic. All of these have
been more or less plentiful, of fairly
good quality and free from scab
There is DO other possible explanation
of this seeming revival of apparently
dying out varieties, says the authority
referred to, than that it has been brought
about by spraying and in some cases
by more intelligent fertilization. That
this is the correct solution is further
shown by the improved quality of the
commoner varieties which come from
Orchardists who are up to date, such as
the Baldwin, Northern Spy, Talman
Sweet, Rhode Island Greening. Zen Da-

Cause For Embarrassment.

One of tho things that she believes in

bands will SAYS that the woman who Is
at the head of the house should do her
own marketing. She dropped in at her
butchers in the afternoon, when she was
on her way to n matinee at the opera, and
gave an order. Another of her principles
is to pay spot cash for everything she buys
and to run no accounts, but on this day
she had forgotten her pocketbOok.

she said did not want them to do
that. l explained that had forgotten my

Cost of Manuring.

An elaborate foreign report presents
detailed statistics of the comparative
cost under European conditions Of ma.
nuring i'll systems of farming in which
CD large amount of stock, (2) small
amount of stock and go no stock is
kept, the comparative merits of com
mercial fertilizers, green manuring,
night soil, sewage, etc. being discussed.
The author concludes that green ma
nuring, supplemented by commercial
fertilizers, is suited to almost all condi-
tions. Under favorable soil conditions
manuring with artificial fertilizers may
be exclusively practiced. The economy
of the use of night soil, sewage, sweep
ings, factory waste, oomposts, ETC., and
bought stable manure depends upon To-
cal conditions, and these materials
should be used only when they are
cheaper than the more generally appli-
cable system of green manuring supple
mented by commercial fertilizers
Although it is believed that in some
cases the circumstances may warrant
the reduction or total abandonment of
stock raising and the substitution of
some of the above systems of manuring,
1t is not safe to conclude that such is
generally advisable. In deciding this
question there are other important fac
tors besides cost of manure to be taken
into consideration.

A Hint to Would BE Orators.

Apropos of Lord Randolph Churchill,
an incident may be related which is inter
esting as showing his pluck and vigor. 1t
relates TO the noble lord S early parliament
tary life He was determined to make an
impression upon the house of commons,
but some of his friends doubted the wis
dom of his resolution. He said little, but
he left London and took up his quarters at
ar inn in Rutlandshire. Here he spent
his days and nights for a period of six
weeks, with only an occasional trip TO
town" for day in writing and deliver
ing speeches. He practically went into
training upon every possible subject of de-
bate. The landlady could hear her lodger
hour after hour. day after day, walking
about his room delivering speeches, now
loud and angry, now soft and persuasive.
Perfected by practice, Lord Randolph
Churchill left for town, seized his oppor-
tunity, made big speech and henceforth
became man to be reckoned with. Only
TO his intimate friends did he ever refer to
his rural training in parliamentary ora
tory which has been of such splendid sorv-
ice to him London Standard

A notable instance of Mark Tapleyism,
not to say heroism, was supplied recently
at the Royal inflrmary. The case was in
the hands of Professor Barlow and was
that of an iron worker who had met with
frightful accident A result of an
explosion in a furnace piece of redhot
iron four inches in length imhedded itself
in the mans eye and check, necessitating
the removal of the dreadfully burned eye
ball. This done, the question arose among
those present at the operation as to the
nature of the metal extracted, when the
patient himself, with extraordinary nerve,
asked to be allowed to handle the sub
stance, and pronOuncing it to be cast iron

the works, or they'll he having me up for

Why Use So Much Fertilizer

= New Jersey farmer was asked by
the author Of Chemicals and Glover"
why he used SO much fertilizer. Here
is his answer:
When we put fertilizers Oh our pota-
toes, we look forward two years to the
grass crop. That is why we use bc
much. For years and years we thought,
with other farmers, that fertilizers were
SO soluble that it was only safe to put
on just enough for one crop. That is all
nonsense On ordinarily level ground
we find fertilizers as safe in the soil as
out of it-safer, too, with wheat and
grass coming along to make use of them.
The more fertilizers ! use the more
money make

BOARDED BY A WINE cAsK.
= Strange Incident While Ly ing to In =
Storm or Cane Horn.

City Physician Wheeler has two bottles
Of claret of uncertain age and still more
uncertain flavor, which he delights In Of
fering to his friends, not because of the
fine quality of tho wine but because 1t
gives him n chance to tell again story of
the sea that is little out of the ordinary.
The olaret is put i'll lime bottles, such ms
may be found aboard any long voyage
vessel, and while its most pronounced
flavor is cross between lime juice and
salt water there is still Il smack in it
that reminds one that it must have been
at one time primo "stuiT." DIR. Wheeler
was presented with the bottles by Captain
Dexter of the British ship Samaritan,
which recently left this port in cargo for
Liverpool, and the captain told the fol
lowing story of how he came by them:
In the fall of 1893 we were bound from
Liverpool to Shanghai in ballast and were
nearing the Horn when big storm over
took us We hove to and drifted about
200 miles ofrshOre The storm was one
of tho worst l have ever experienced in 20
years Of seafaring life, and one dark night,
when big seas were breaking over us, a
big, burly fellow from the fnrccastlc came
Mt, knife in hand, and walked directly up
to me. l thought for a minute that
mutiny was aboard, and drawing my re-
volver ordered him to stand back. But l
soon saw he was terribly frightened, and,
with chattering teeth, he told me that
frightful looking object was floundcring
about amhships.
Il went with him to see 1t, and, sure
enough, whenever "A wave struck us huge
black body, glowing in the phosphorescent
blaze of the tropics, could be seen floun.
dering about on deck l soon ascertancI
that it was lifeless and then proceeded to
investigate 1t proved to he nothing but
a huge wine cask every stave of which
was incrusted with barnacles, and it had
probably been left on deck by II reccding
wave. Visions of dead bodies buried at
sea in casks doomed up before me ms l
dashed the trophy to the rigging to await
daylight before investigating.
When the storm cleared away, I tap
ped the cask, and by means of "a long iron
rod ascertained that there was nothing
but liquor in it. l drew off some of the
stuff and tried it on two Portuguese sail
ors aboard. They pronounced it prime,
so we all took taste. After that drew
off ell the wine and stored it in these lime
bottles, the only thing l had ANDY. The
cask | placed in the British museum at
Shanghai, for it was real curiosity. The
chances are that cask Of claret was thrown
overheard from some wreck, and it must
have floated about in midocean for three
or four years at least before 1t came aboard
of us. Barnacles do not form on flo. ting
wood in less time than that, and the cask
was so covered with them that not bit
of the wood was visible. '-PorCland Or

Where to Place Broodern.

Breeders should have house set apart
for this operation, even if they are of
the outdoor pattern, early in the season
especially. Later the outdoor brooders
may be used in the open air. The brood
er house preferred by Country Gen
tleman correspondent has board floor,
windows that admit the sunlight ON the
southerly side of the house and room
about the brooder to secure exercise for
the chickens, which, if very early in
the season, cannot be advantageously al
lowed to run out of doors The house
need not be expensive. Even a building
inclosed on three sides, open to the
south-a mere shed-will aI.wer, if
one uses outdoor breeders, though an
inclosed house is better. This CORE
spondent has used breeders in cellar
and had really good success with them,
but prefers a house set apart to their
use 1t is not necessary, however, to ex-
ercise so much care in the location of a
brooder as in that of an incubator, for a
Matched chick has much greater vitality
than the uuhatched germ. Still the
more favorable the situation of the
brooder, other things equal, the more
satisfactory will be the growth and de.
velopment Of the chickens.
