POULTRY IN THE ORCHARD.

From the Rhode Island Agricultural
Experiment Station comes a bulletin
which treats on Apple Culture" in a
way well applicable to the condition OF
New York State. The bulletin tells of
poultry as an eff 9ctive remedy for the
apple maggot. The fruit of Thousands
of trees OF the subacid varieties has
been rendered entirely unfit for either
the table or culinary uses by the pres
nee OF the maggots. In it's mature
state this insect is a fly which cannot
readily be poisoned, and it is supposed
that the eggs which produce the mag
COTS are deposited by the flies in the
pulp of the apple beneath the skin, 80
that the young maggots are secure
within the fruit from the time that the
eggs RE laid until they are mature and
emerge from the apple to go into the
ground. In some cases many thousands
Of pupae, resembling in appearance
kernels of wheat, have been found u
der a single tree. mostly just benea'h
the surface soil among the grass roots
The station people, for the sake of
experiment, confned a f1ck of poultry
in a small space around a large tree on
which the fruit had been destroyed by
maggots. The tree was inclosed by a
movable wire fence. One side of the

One great advantage the common
farmers with draft horses have over
those of lighter weight is that they
need little or no training to fit them for
use. While to find ready sale the
driving horse must be of some beauty
and style and developed speed, and
taught not to fear steam or electric
cars the larger horse grows up to his
work without special preparation.

BOGUS MEXICAN DOLLARS.

is Exposed.
Part of the Mckinley programme
wa TO flood the country with Mexican
dollars, and certain interested mer-
chants and manufacturers in Chicago,
Cincinnati and elsewhere had already
become ''educators' by Offering to give
so cents worth Of wares and q Mexican
dollar for a dollar of United States
money. 1t was generally supposed
that even Congress nan Crowther was
speeches, fer he, toe, is a great ''edu
Gator" in matters Of finance. Now,
however, comes SenCr MOres Euamay,
an Influential Mexican connected with
one of the largest commercial houses
in this country, who kicks the lotion
out OF this little campaign scheme.
S5nor Huamay, while at Springfield,
OniC, the other day, showed a promi
nent manufacturer a letter received by
him from the director of the minis Of
the r public of Mexico. The letter Is
translated by Senior Huamay, and was
to the following effect:
II thank you for the two specimens
Of so called Mexican silver dollars
which you state are baing put in
general circulation in the United
States. You are right in believing
that the dies for the coins have been
recently chang d, if the specimens
you send are genuine. Without
hesitation l pronounce them counter
feiCs and eff 5rin from the silver dol
lars coined by the Mexican government
IN many particulars. The genuine
coin has a 100 mill marks UPON the
edge, while the specimens you eubmi0
have but $50. That may appear a te-
dious way Of detecting the spurious
from the genuine dollar, but it is un
failing. The execution and position Of
the eagle upon the face of the SPURIOUS
also differs from the genuine. Oar
government is now engaged In det0.-
mining where aud by whom these
~counterfeits were Issued.
Senior Huamay states hat the ma
chinery for the production of these
spurious Mexican dollars was procured
III Eogland, and that the c~ounterfeits
reached America by vessel and were
landed in Florida. They were then
purchased by the political managers
who are using them for campaign pur-
poses. He states that Mexico needs all
the genuine silver dollars she has for
home circulation, and thai the people
of that country are satisfied, and would
not change their coinage to suit Egg
land or any other nation. The cOun-
terfeiting of the Mexican silver dollar
is now the subject of international /
quiry and the Republican campaign
managers and the '~'educators' are III
an unenviabIe positlon.-SS. Joseph

SOME SUGGESTIONS.

WILSON COUNTY, N. @.
l wish to offer some resolutions for
the consideration of our coming Octo,
Der County Meetings, and for Gus State
Committee, hoping that il l do not
offer them III the proper shape that
they will get ny something along this
line that will be of future benz fit to
our organization. We all know that
we will have men of all parties in the
coming legislature and Congress. And
Ia order to know our friends from our
enemies, we ought to give all a chance,
and for this reason l Otfer the follow
ing resolutions:
ReSOtUed, That we, the - County
Alliance, ask the nomination of the
different parties 10 the legislature ard
State Senate to express the m5elvre
thr-ught our State organ or our County
Secretary, as to how they stand in re
gard to our State demands, as 70
whether they endorse the whole or Il
part ot them.
2 That each county in each Con
g~ressional district ask the nomination
Of the c.ff3TenJ parties to Congress to
do the same by cur National demands,
3 That the Secretary Of each coun
ty take the names of the MN that rep
resent US in Congress and The legis
ieture, and enter the same in G. book
kept for that purpose; ais0, the name
Of the party TO which they belong.
4 That il shall be the duty CT tie
PreeidonO and Secretary of each Cuu !,
ty Alliance to get the record of The
Senators and r representatives. from
their respective counties, IS to how
they vote III regard to our demands. ard
as to how they vote for the benefit OF
agriculture, education fer an ett,
DOmi1al government. Iris is to be til
tereG IN a bo~k under aald names.
s. That the PRESIDENT and Secretary
Of each county Of each Congreesion,I
district small 90 the Same by their
members IF Congress; AID if it should
~ "@SNSoC@AS u ot0GC 0CCA 0C24N CCOI.
keep a record Of the Uulted States
Senators.
The Su5. Secretary can, at any tiuoe.
secure tie record Of any Of their pu0
lie med 60 be kept for future use s1ould
they think it necessary to do so for tc4
information Of their mt mb4rs. Such
q course as this would give all parties
an tqIal chance TO do something fer
us, and leave no room for our enemies
to call US partisan. Il cannot hurt a,y
party it cannot hurt any individual.
There are thousands of Alliancemen
IN this State that do not read anv
paper. 1t would cause them to take
more interest in this order. If this
meets with approval from the mem
bors generally, 1 hope there will be
some action taken in our coming Octo
Der meetings. Men Of all parties can
come IN and help US under this plan.
Yours truly,
