Cotton, corn and the cereals grow and are
raised in every section OF the state and In
the central and southern portions sugar

On the Gulf Coast two and three crops of
vegetables are raised each year. Berries are
shipped six weeks in advance Of the home
crop In the north. Pears, peaches, plums,
oranges, figs, olives and nuts all grow album
dainty and can be marketed from two to
three weeks in advance of the California
crops. Large quantities of rice are now
grown.

APPLES FOR COWS.
They Have All the Properties Which
Make Linseed So Valuable.

Make Linseed So Valuable.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases it is an open question
whether it will pay to ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and the rest be fed
to the cows. Where markets are so de-
pressed as at this time it often happens,
that common stock will not pay any
profit at all, while really choice fruit
will bring fair price. If, therefore, we
ship only the best we have better
chance of making something on our APP
Piles, and at the same time have lot Of
good feed for the cows, or, in fact, al
most any kind of stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind of feed, and work
up until you reach the desired limit,
which will be found to be about ten
pounds per day for a cow. Apples con-
tain greater proportion of carbo-
hydrates to protein than most feeds;
consequently they need to be supple
mented by some feed rich in protein,
such as linseed meal or bran, and in this
case we would prefer the bran, as the
apples themselves have all the medicin-
al properties that make the linseed val
liable. ... F @|..as
If it is possible the apples should be
run through root cutter, as there is
danger of the cows choking themselves.
This danger is, we think, rather remote,
as we have seen lots of apples eaten by
cows, and have yet to see the first cow
choke. National Stockman. ..

EXPENSIVE AND BAD.
A Reform Ina Household Furnishings Ii
Sadly Needed.


"Too little furniture is bad, but too
much, it seems to me, is good deal
worse" sad n jaded housekeeper. 'My
life is literally worn out with moving
and putting in order and caring for the
thousand and one articles of doubtful
ornamentation and absolute uselessness
with which the house is numbered. j
think that an ornament must have
come excuse for being in order to be
really worth the time and trouble re-
1uired to take care of it. Instead of
this we have representations of all
sorts of quaint and queer things that
appear to me to have no right whatever
in the drawing-room to say the least.
Some of these days hope to see more
of what might be called adaptation in
the bestowing of our household decora-
tons. The library is good place for
curiosities, unless one has special
room devoted to such purposes, AMI
they ought to be kept there instead Of
in the drawing.room or parlors. A cab
met with shelves might be placed in
either of these rooms and filled with
articles appropriate to the apartments.
But how often do we find every sort OF
curio from the horrible and grotesque
to the realistic and most indecent ar
ranged in reception and family
rooms. Of course, where space is lin.-
tied one must do the best one can, but
all the same there are many bits of
bric-a-brac that would be much more
agreeable if less prominently exhibit
cd. To tumble Indian, Chinese, Jap
anese and ali manner of articles into one
place and in such close proximity that
they continually elbow each other, is
like colonizing the different sorts OF
people under the same roof and cont
polling them to live there whether they
will or no. The incongruity after
awhile becomes painful and it seems
as though, in their own way, the artl-
cles would quarrel with one another
as violently as would the human speci-
mems of the same species were they thus
crowded in together. And what il
true of bric-a-brac is equally true Of
furniture. The fancy for odd pieces
sometimes runs. absolutely riot and
brings about the collection of q hetero-
geneous assortment of furnishings
that, however fine they may be indi-
vidually, are an offense and a weari-
ness when they must be endured col
lectively. Fewer articles, chosen and
arranged on well-defined plan and
with the most scrupulous regard for
one another, are much more satisfac-
tory to an artistic taste than the
choicest miscellaneous collection that
the gathering mania ever brought TO-
gether under one roof."-N. Y. Ledger.

The apple grower who does not re-
gard the apple as he would any other
crop, and furnish the trees with food,
as he does other crops, will not sue

If the farmer would go at the work
Of producing early vegetable he could
laugh at the low prices for grain, if
they should continue. Early vegetables
always pay.
If fruit trees grow too rapidly they
will not bear well. The force goes into
the wood. When young trees grow too
rapidly, it is good plan to put the
orchard in grass. This will check the
growth.
If house pIaits become frozen, dark

THE HAND SEPARATOR.
What the Machine In, How 1t Works aud
What Il saves.


Prof. c. s. Plumb, Maryland Expert.
mental Station: THE hand separator
consists of small metal bowl, which
is revolved with great rapidity by
means of cogwheel connections. Milk
turned into the bowl separates into
skim milk, which accumulates in the
outer portion of the bowl, and cream,
which gathers near the center. After
the separation in the bowl the cream
and skim milk escape from it through
outlets into separate tubes, from which
they are conducted into cans. This ac-
ton of separation is con tinuous so long
as the bowl is revolving at suitable
speed.
"Separators are now commonly sold
on the market that do satisfactory
work, practically removing all the but
ter fat from the milk. On the average
farm probably every 100 pounds of skim
milk secured by the old-fashioned
methods contains from one-fourth TO
one-half pound of fat. More is left in
the milk than farmers are often aware
of. The properly-run separator removes
nearly all, if not all Of this.
"The writer believes that every per-
son who keeps five or more cows, with
the object of making as much butter
from them as possible, who makes gilt
edged butter and who is interested in
progressive dairying would find in the
hand separator money-maling ma
chine. Other people are likely to be dis
appointedif they buy hand separator"

bulletin says: 1--WE sometimes hear OF

these experiments show, while all dis
eases cannot be Immediately and total

will cause the fungous diseases men

telligent fruit grower sent word to the
station that he had carefully sprayed
according to directions, but that there
was more scab on his sprayed than on
his unsprayed trees. A careful exam
ination of apples from his orchard re-
vealed the fact that they were badly

NOT A SINGLE CITIZEN.
Town Running Full Blast with the Offices
All Filled.

An English journalist travelling
through the United States relates
humorous incident in his experience
out west. He was journeying over
land on horseback, and one day, after
long spell of desolate travel, he
cspied house on the prairie. He rode
up to the doorway and accosted the
only person around, a long gentleman
in boots, these boots seemingly trying
to reach the sky, they were perched SO
high above the owners head. They
came slowly down at the salutation.
"Howdy do, stranger? Glad ter see
yer. This is Boonville," and with a
sweeping gesture he compassed land
scape of grass and wooden stakes.
There's Broadway runnin' down
tween the stakes, and there's Chicago
avenue, st. Louis avenue, ST. Paul ave-
nue., and all them are streets staked
off'n it. On the lookout for buildin'
site?"
NO" replied the journalist, I'm
just travelling for pleasure, not for in
vestment."
That's my luck, stranger. Here's
this town been er runnin' full blast
with all the offices filled. and | can't
get a citizen"
Where's the mayor?"

"Where are the police, judges and
that sort of thing?"
I'm all that. Yer see, stranger, I'm
everything. l elects myself to all otl-
ces, but it's mighty poor payin' ones
I'm er-holdin'."
How do you manage to get along
then?"
Don't, stranger; that's the puzzle.
Yer see, there's only so cents in the
town treasury, and I've been payin' my
rent and taxes with il, and collecting
my salary as mayor and all my other
offices from it SO long and it's been
handled so much that the town books
won't balance any more. Yer see, l
can't find anything to balance the books
with fer the wear of the silver off that
coin and I'm out that much. Now.
stranger, if yer not gcin' ter invest,
and want ter boom the town er little,
yer might make up that deficit in the
treasury, SOS kin balance them books
and make things square fer the next
mayor."-Harper's Ronnd Table.

AMERICAN HORSES.
weil-Bred Animals Find u Ready Sale in
the German Market.

the German Market.
An influential German illustrated
journal notices the report of the Amer
lean consul at Bremen, and states that
Germany furnishes good market for
American horses. This is q significant
fact and suggestive one, also. 1t has
not been long since the idea Of sending
American horses to Europe would have
been ridculed. The advance in this
branch of live stock industry in this
country has been wonderful.
The best blood of American English
(Which includes Scotland) and French
horses has been used to improve
American horses. And the result is that
these horses are now going abroad IN
considerable numbers. Since 1895 it
appears that 10000 horses have been
shipped from America to German
ports, the chief ports being Hamburg
ond Bremen. They bring on an average
about $175 each, and are often resoid
for $3.50 at Leipsc and other inland
cities. 1t is stated also by the same
paper that purchasers for these Amerl-
can horses have gone from Sweden and
Denmark to Hamburg to obtain them,
which shows that there is market in
those countries for American horses.
But it is well to note the fact that
poor stock fails to find purchasers at
remunerative figures. and German
newspapers warn American shippers
that it is useless to send such inferior
animals to Germany. The fact is also
emphasized that great care should be
taken in handling and. feeding the
horses on shipkoard.-Farmers' Voice.
