lady in the land. The neigh
borhood is purely New Eng
land, and Bolton is an ideal,
oId-fashioned town.
The Wilder mansion is a
quaint old affair, built nearly
100 years ago, and several
times remodeled. 1t is a well
established tradition that it was
arranged that the Wilder man
SIGN should be an asylum for
Napoleon after his defeat at
Waterloo. Napoleon delayed
taking advantage of the offer
until too late. Passage had
been engaged for him on a YES
sci that was to bring him to
America, but he waited too
long, and was unable to sail,
and gave himself up as a pris-
oner of war.
Mr.. Jones also just closed
negotiations for the purchase
of thirty acres Of fine land adj
joining the Wilder property,
thus giving him an unobstruct-
ed view as far as the eye can
reach. The mansion is, about
a mile from Bolton Center, and
three miles from Clinton. The
nearest railroad station is Ian
caster on the Boston & Maine,
about three fourths of a mile
away. The house is a large,
square, two-story, wooden struc
tire, with complicated roof.
From it extends in either direc
ton two wings. A broad We
randa runs along the entire
'front.' supported by white Pil
lars. The land slopes abrupt
ly from the highway. Large
stables stand at a distance.
There are thirty rooms in the
house, the appointments being
complete for a gentleman's
country residence. The farm
has $50 acres. 1t is the inten-
ton to thoroughly improve the
property, and the old mansion
will be renovated. The plaster
in all the rooms will be replac
ed, and extensive repairs will
be made about the stables and
outbuildings. * new veranda
will be constructed.-St. Louis

CLEVELAND ATTITUDE,

when a Cuban war cloud
hangs in the sky and the
whole Nation is. anxiously
watching for the signal from
the White House, anything
which indicates the presidents
sentiments regarding the strug
gle Of the patriot army against
the forces of Spain has an i'm
pressive and peculiar interest
for the American people. The
following is an exact statement
of the policy of the president
as revealed in a conversation
which occurred at a meeting
of the cabinet in December
last, when Mr.. Cleveland sub
mitted to his constitutional adj
visers a full draft of his annual
message to congress. The
cabinet was in session. The
message had been read and
was being considered. That
part of the document which
declared the United States
government must strictly Oh
serve its treaty relations to
Spain had been reached.
The language was Secretary
Olney's. 1t contained no re
ference to sympathy of the
Americans for the unhappy lit
tie republic. 1t was cold,
precise, stern. Presently Sec
rotary Smith directed the at
tention of Mr.. Cleveland to
the fact that the message
might by inference be regard
ed as hostile in tone to the
Cubans and suggested the in
sertion of some general ex
preston of sympathy.
At this Secretary Olney
shook his head vigorously
saying: mo, no; it would
never do"
Mr.. Cleveland ignored Mr..
Olney's objection, and, pick
Eng up pen from the table,
said: Why, certainly.
would be glad to do anything
l properly could to help
them"

a space of about two feet in diameter,
and sound roots were found for d .pth
of two feet from the surface. Below
this the roots were either dried up or
had decayed. A good hill would yield
something over SO pounds of tubers and
these required from four to five years
growth. Seeding plants from one to
three years old yielded much less.
With these data the experiments were
commenced, and January l, '05 single
row $50 rods in length was planted in
suitable soil A fair growth was made
until the plants were attacked by in
sects and set back. On February 10th
of this year the crop was gathered and
the result noted. The conclusions ar
rived at are that while the increase
would be larger another season, canaigre
is not profitable crop to grow on land
that is suitable for any other crop. But
if the land is cheap enough to warrant
the owner in letting it lie idle for two
or three years, then canaigre Is profit
able crop to plant. For the best results
a. loose sandy soil is required. Plants
grown from tubers return larger per-
centage grown from seed, and large
tubers made larger plants on heavy
sandy soil than small ones did on the
lighter soil.

Oanaigre a Disappointment in California
We trust that the recent experiments
with canaigre in Florida will demon
strate the suitability OF the crop to our
soil and climate. In California, however,
canagrie has proved disae pointing. The
American Agriculturist says that the
effort to introduce the cultivation Of
canaigre, or tanners dock, as money
crop in Southern California last year led
the state experiment station at Chino,
San Bernardo county, to carry forward
some experiments in it's culture. 1t was
noticed in gathering the wild tubers for
planting, that the best growth was found
in the ooaresT sandy and gravelly land.
The tubers on the largest hills occupied

full of fruits, possessing, as they
do, the natural acid of the stomach,
and being used in many cases in a
medicinal way.
New York is the great distribute
ing point for the Havana crop, the
pines being sold upon arrival to
jobbers and brokers, and is
shipped to all parts of the country,
as far west as Nebraska, all up
through Canada, down through
the South, and as far east as to-
Nova Scotia.

brought to this market in better
condition in small steamers per-
fectly adapted to the business and
carrying nothing but pineapples,
in better shape than by the way it
has been shipped for a number of
years, Mr.. Merritt said that in his
opinion the changed condition of
the markets and the way of doing
things now, warranted the belief
that the Bahama crop could be
brought here in better shape and
marketed to better advantage if
they were brought in steamers
chartered expressly for the purpose
and fitted with all necessary ven
tilation. The pines could be put
loose in bins in these vessels or
they could be brought in crates as
many as were brought last season
and certainly should reach the
market in much better conditihg
than when shipped by the slow ond
I'm certain method of sending alan,
by sailing vessel. With cable
communication open to the Ba-
hamas, cargoes could easily be
prepared to meet the arrival of
steamers. The distance is such
that steamers could easily make
the voyage in three or four days to
this port. The advantages of ship
ping by steamer would enable the
fruit to mature more fully, max
ing it better size for selling, and
making it much more desirable in
every way, as a pineapple fully
matured possesses far more value
for it's various uses than immature
fruit.
1t was also the opinion of Mr..
Merritt that the crop of Havana
pineapples could be brought to
this market in steamers chartered
particularly for this business, and
landed here in much better shape
than when brought, as they have
been for years, in steamers loaded
down frequently with sugar and
other freights that generate an
immense amount of heat making
it almost impossible to land car
goes in anything except wretched
condition.
There are certainly big chances
for improvement in the way of
handling and in the transportation
of this fruit, which has now, dur
ing certain seasons of the year, be-
come almost necessity. Pine
apples, once looked upon as al
most indigestible, are now recog-

grown anywhere in the world have
been sent from the Indian river
country to all our Northern
markets. This fruit has COM
manded good prices, has paid the
producers splendidly and given
the best satisfaction to the trade.
A few very large pineapples may
be seen in this market during the
spring and summer months, the
bulk of which come from Porto
Rico, many of these pines weigh
ing from six to ten pounds, and
some have been imported that have
weighed even more than this.
Pineapple slips from Porto Rico
have been sent to Florida, and
during the last two or three years
quite a large quantity of those
extra large pines have been grown
in that State, exceeding in quality
and perfection even the pineap-
pies imported from Porto Rico.
A limited quantity of pineap-
pies are brought here from Ia
maica, but the quantity, as COM
pared with the other sections we
have named is very small, an in
voice of four hundred or five hun
dred barrels from Jamaica being
considered large invoice. ia
maica is the home of the celebrated
"Ripley Pine" appreciated by all
who know this variety, but equalled
now by the "Egyptian Queen"
raised in Florida, which resembles
the Ripley very much.
The Bahama crop was for many
years, controlled by few houses
in this city and Baltimore, who
either bought the crops out and out,
or who advanced heavily on them
and thus secured from the growers
consignments of this fruit. 1t is a
custom with the growers there to
sell their pines outright, when they
can, to American importers or
spectators there, failing to do
which they are compelled to con-
sign them to our American markets
to be sold for their account. The
business. as far as the Bahama
crop is concerned, has not been a
profitable one to growers, impor-
tiers or spectators for number of
years.
The Havana crop has been for
years controlled by few houses in
Havana, operating in connection
with houses in this city. The pines
shipped from Havana are usually
under control long before they
reach maturity, heavy advances
being required from those who
purchase them, and these advances
are also made by these at this end
of the line-bY receivers who
operate to certain extent in con-
junction with the shippers in
Havana. The business is peril
Gus one at best, and but poorly
pays the speculator and importer.
During the warm months of May,
Juen and July when pineapples ar
rive in abundance, a delay of a few
hours in disposing of a cargo often
means a loss of thousands of dol
lars, pineapples frequently de-

The judges of the supreme
court of South Carolina are said
to be in doubt whether they are
judges or not, and whether or
not the state has any supreme
court since the new constitution
has gone into effect. There are
now three members of the court,
but the new constitution says
there shall be four, and the point
was raised whether the present
court of three members is the
court as contemplated by the
constitution. The judges are
celebrating over their status,
and may call in the circuit judge
to help settle it.

Ten years from now the great
est dairy section of the North
west will be found in what is
known as Northern Wisconsin,
a portion of the state which a
few years ago was regarded as
of little worth after the timber
should be cut off. Ten years
from now, that land will be held
at three times the value placed
upon it at the present time.
People who have never visited
that portion of Wisconsin have
but an inadequate idea of its
future prospects. Northern Wis

A resident Of Ulster county,
New York, broke the game law
the other day and escaped The
penalty on a novel plea. His
offense was the killing Of a deer,
and when brought up for trial
he declared that the deer came
to his strawberry patch, and he
went out with his old army mus
ket to drive him away. The
deer attacked him at once, and
he fired in self-defense. The deer
was killed, so Collins thought he
might as we'll cut him up and
distribute him among his rela-
tives and neighbors, and he did.
The judge accepted the explana-
ton, and now an epidemic CT
similar cases may be expected.
It may lead even to the aboli-
ton of the law against deer
shooting. No such savage and
dangerous animals must be al
lowed to menace the lives ofhon-
est citizens or tempt them to
law-breaking
