Apple Gatherers.-Patent apple gath
erers are a little too rough for fruit
OF the choicest quality. and for any
which must be kept a long time. The
apples are shaken upon a canvas, which
rolls them TO the foot OF the tree; but
many of them must be bruised by strik-
ing the branches. Fruit which must
be kept must be hand picked.-Ex,

The value OF live animals Imported

months was $11, SOC, 900. as
with SIS. SOC. 900 the same time last wear.
or the 122.249 head OF cattle imported
the United States furnished 100. s5s. the
Argentine Republic $3.50. and Canada
4,166. We sent $500 cattle less than
last year, Argentina sent $3.50 less
while Canada sent 1920 more. We sent
only 5S,051 sheep-slightly more h a
half the number exported last year the
Argentine 50. lS9, against 96.9l5. and
Canada 2,5S6. against 3,645 last year.
The value OF the dead meat imported
was $50, 000, 200, and but Sis, 900 over
the same time last year. Fresh beef
imports were 639.S42 cwt.. and fresh
mutton COG, 142 cwt.-an increase of
5000 cwt. of beef, but a decrease of 40
600 cwt. of mutton. Great Britain's
expectation of live stock is practically
all for breeding purposes.-Ex.

nr..alsE I,.lr, COW.

A writer in Dakota Farmer gives this
advice:
J.. Select the best COWS in your herd.
or ,ha; you can buy. to keep. and dis
pose OF the Others.
2 The best COW for the dairy Is the
a that produces the grcateeI amount
of butter fat In a year flor food con-
sumedl when being rightly fed.
J. To renew or increase your herd
raise the heifcr calves from your best
cows
q Test your cows by Weighing the
milk % each COW for a yea. and testing
q occasionally with the Bahoock milk
tester. and know how much butter tat
each one does produce.
s. Use the bcs; dairy bred s,-e you
car act: one IL possible. that has n
long line OF ancestors that have been
irsi-class dairy animals.
9. Keep q record Of the time when
the cows are bred and have no guess
work about the time OF calvinx.
4. II il neither profitable nor nooes-
sary for a COW 10 20 dry more than
four to six weeks.
s. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the FIRST hour. that
might haffe science later.
.. After separating the calf from It's
mother. feed the natural milk rs soon
A. drawn. for a week or ten days.
10. Don't milk the udder out clean
until the fourth day after calvinx.
This will often prevent = chill. which
often produces milk fever.
Long Rows.-The possible gain In
time OF cultivation due to the length
ening Of rows Ia greater than any sup
pose who have not tested the matter.
BY the watch | find that when rows are
eighty rods long an acre is cultivated
I'm three-fourths Of the time required
for cultivating in lows thirty rods long.
Long rows make work easier for man
and team. II we would compete with
the west we mdst plan for long. mar
row fields instead OF the little square
onea usually seen. The filling OF open
bitches and abandonment OF useless
fences makes this possible on a major
ity OF farms. Experience has taught
me that the saving OF money due TO re-
moyal Of fences was truly not needed.

Profitable Cows.-which is the most
profitable COW TO keep7 II is the COW
that produces the most at the least
cost. In the ninety days test at the
worlds fair the best COW cleared q
proat OF over s7s and the poorest a
proft OF only s24. Turning now 20 the
food account, we find that the cost OF
food In both cases was practically the
same. yet one COW had the ability TO
make three times the profit upon prac-
tically the same food. There are cows
In every herd that have this ability:
ind them out. In these days OF keen
competition we must reduce the cost
Of production, and this aspect Of the
question should always be taken into
consideration .-Ex.

The Western silverites have been driven
nearly crazy by the concurrent rise in wheat and
fall in silver. The Cincinnati Enquirer denies
vehemently that anybody ever said that silver
and wheat are indissolubly linked together, and
gets Off this precious assertion:
"1f gold were totally demonetiIed the four thousand
millions OF gold coin now in existence would make
such a glut in the bullion market that gold would
probably not sell for as much as n dollar q pound.'
Wouldn't til 1t was worth vastly more
than q dollar n pound for ages before any laws
were made regulating its use rs money. and II
every law now on the statute book in every
country in the world respecting its coinage we're
repealed, it would BIO just as valuable as 1t Is
now. Its commercial value is what fixes its
money value, and no making or unmaking Of
laws can affect it.
