LIFE SAVING INVENTION.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. IA very in
genious and valuable continuance for
saving life by preventing railroad ac-
cidents through forgetfulness of train
men, has been invented. The mach
inc has just stood very severe test
on the Great Northern railroad, after
having been previously operated sue
cessfully on the st. Paul and Duluth
road. Practical railroad men in this
section have given strong endorse
ments to the device after seeing it's
working. The object of the device is
to provide an accurate and reliable re-
minder signal and distance indicator
for locomotives by means of which en-
gineers prevented from getting their
train orders as to stopping or meeting
points.

present for paying too much atten-
ton to his wife. As a result the hus-
band and some of the visitors were
soon pommeling each other with their
fists. When the fight waxed too warm
Mrs. McGrath and the dog would sep
arate the fighters. The husband, how
ever, continued to call his wife and
some of the visitors hard names, and
ne finally lost his temper completely,
and, picking up carving-knife, rushed
at his wife. The dog was sitting be-
side the woman, and as the husband
raised the weapon to stab her the beast
sprang upon McGrath, causing him to
Tall to the floor. Seeing the knife roll
toward her feet, Mrs. McGrath picked
It up and plunged it into the left side
Of the PROSTATE man.
Several guests told the police what
had happened, and after the wounded
man had been taken to the hospital
the woman was locked up. The dog fol-
lowed his mistress to the police station,
and howled piteously until placed in
the cell with her.
TIE dog was allowed to follow Mrs
McGrath the next morning into court,
where she was held to await the result
of her husbands injuries.

Chicago Street Railway Employees viii
Try The Injunction Lever.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The danger of
a tie up of the City Railway company
is not over yet. A mass meeting of
street car employees was held early to-
day and resolution unanimously adopt
ed endorsing the organization of a
local branch of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Street Car Employees Of
America.
The most important action taken,
however was the giving of power to
the executive committee of the organ
ization to order a strike without no.
tice to the company.
1t was the suggestion of E. V. Debbs
that the aid of court injunctions would
probably be invoked by the union. In
reference with the formation or main
tainance of union employees is forbid
den by the Illinois statutes and it is
proposed to make a legal test with the
street car company.

GARLIC PLANT DOES NOT SMELL
Only when Bulbs Are Broken Is the
Strong Odor Perceptible.


About three-quarters of the garlic
used in this country is imported from
Italy. 1t comes in hampers containing
about no pounds each. Garlic, says the
New York Sun, is raised in this country
in Connecticut, in Louisiana, in Texas
and in New Mexico. All garlic, both i'm
ported and American, is put up in
strings or lunches, something like the
punches in which onions were once
sold in this country, but much longer.
American garlic is shipped in crates
and barrels; some from the far south
west comes in long cylindrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by the
single bulb, which is sold for @ penny.
In its commercial form, whole and dry,
garlic does rot yield the strong smell
for which it is famous. In wholesale
produce establishment where garlic
was stacked up in quantities there was
no noticeable odor from it. But if one
of the several smaller bulbs of which
each root are composed and which are
called cloves of garlic be broken off and
broken in two the powerful odor be-
comes perceptble.
The aggregate consumption of garlic
in this country is large, and our ex-
ports of it to South American coun-
tries, which include American garlic
and imported garlic reshipped, amount
TO enough to be reckoned in tons.

Stabbed by Her Husband.
A big Newfoundland dog saved a
New York woman from being stabbed
with a carying-knife by her husband,
and when the crazed man fell to the
floor as result of the dog bouncing
upon him, the wife plunged the blade
into the mans left side, inficting an
ugly and possibly fatal wound.
The wounded man was the husband
of Mrs. Mary McGrath, of No. 1906

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Any soil that is too damp naturally
to produce healthy trees should be
avoided.
Vacant places in young orchard can
be filled with trees, but not so with an
old one.
Early potatoes, pease, onions and let
tuce are the first crops to be put into
the ground.
If only well-rottcd and thoroughly
fined manure is used the garden can
hardly be made too rich.
Lime is one of the best materials to
apply to get rid of the white grub in
the strawberry beds.
Wood ashes and poultry manure make
the best fertilizers for onions. They
can both be used as top dressing.
It is a good plan as we'll as an inter-
esting experiment to try few new
varieties every year on Il small scale.
When onions are to be raised from
seed all reasonable care should be taken
to SOW the seed at the first opportunity.
Strawberry plants that are we'll
mulched are least affected by sudden
change of weather. The mulch also
prevents the plants from beginning to
grow TOO early in the season and lessons
the risk of their gcttiriy killed by late
frosts-St. Louis Republic,
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-04-15
ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Young fruit trees must have good
care to grow well.
When crops are grown in the orchard
be sure to manure it.
Thorough pruning is prerequisite
to successful spraying.
Improve the farm by setting out good
fruit trees and taking care of them.
Do not allow too many new plants
among the blaclberTies and raspbcr-
ries.
Rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries,
gooseberTies and currants should be in
every garden.
If the vines or canes are too thick in
the rows the fruit will be small and of
an inferior quality.
Thick planting of trees is as much
against production as is crowding of
plants in the garden.
The best remedy for an orange rust
on raspberries is to dig out every
affected cane and burn it.
So far as possible leave nothing on
the ground in the orchard that will
afford a harboring place orinsect pests
during the winter.-St. Louis Republic.

APPLES FOB EXPORT.
Valuable Information Supplied by the De-
partment of Agriculture.

Il
The report of Secretary Morton, of
the agricultural bureau, gives some
valuable information to growers who
intend shipping apples to Europe, and
especially to English markets. The sea-
son begins in August, when the domes-
tic crops come into the market sand APP
pies bring comparatively low prices.
An occasional large crop in Spain or
Portugal may result in shipments to
England in August and September, but
usually the supplies are confined to the
home product. The bulk of English
apples, On average year, bring about
81 to $1.75 per 112 pounds. but superior
kinds fetch much higher prices. Or
dinarily, they are seen in the market
up to the end of January. This year
the crop was deficient, and was prac-
tically used up early in October, and the
market left clear for American and
Canadian fruit, which is practically all
that is available. Our early shipments
did not fairly represent US, and brought
low prices. Our European agent has
heard complaint of a decrease in the
size Of the barrel, which usually netted
rather less than 100 pounds each; this
should not be, 1t is mistake which
must be avoided. Canadian barrels
weigh from 100 to 14O pounds. When
our shippers see Canadian Baldwins
quoted at from 50 to $3.50 per barrel,
this difference in weight will account
for it, and is no evidence of superior
quality on the part of Canadian fruit.
The bulk Of the shipment consists Of
Baldwins, Northern Spy and Greetings;
our Baldwins are finer than Cana
dian, but are not such good keepers"
They range from $3.50 to $3.50 for
Canadian barrels, and 50 to $2.75 for
American barrels, but it is thought that
these prices can hardly be maintained
on account of the large Canadian and
American crops. Greetings must be
large, as they are used for "dumplings;"
small samples would easily fall off
dollar q barrel, and make the shipment
,unremunerative. Northern Spys bring
about the same price as Baldwins.
Freights to London, Liverpool, Glas-
gov or Bristol (all of them good apple
.marl1ets) are approximately 81 bar
rel, and all charges, including salesman,
commission, would be covered by 25
cents. Apples are sold at auction, cash
on delivery; if the auctioneer gives
credit, it is at his own risk. The adj
dresses Of responsible consignees in the
principal shipping ports in England
can be obtained through the agricul-
tural department., at Washington.
Any apples Of good color and size
will sell in England, but it costs no
more to send the best than the medium
quality, and the return is better. "If
you discard shi1lings worth in pack
ing, you may better your price two
shillings," is the saying Of London
broker. Fruit should be packed so that
1t cannot rattle; if it does, it will reduce
value considerably, even though it
might be uninjured.

AT the recent meeting Of the Ontario
Experimental union, held at the Agri-
cultural college, Guelph, Ont. (Canada),
Prof. II. L. HUT, the experimenting
horticulturist Of the institution, gave
4 report on the results of the recent

on the college grounds. He has o.

q result Of the careful removal of the
blossoms the first season. This only
confirms our old experience, that in Or
der to secure the heaviest crop the sec

~ the only fruiting year, as strawber-
ries are handled by good growers), we
have to adopt the practice of preventing
all fruit setting the same season that
the bed is established. Then in order
to have a full crop, we must have full
matted rows. With varieties that are
good plantsmal1ers, like Wilson, Cres-
cent, Haverland, Bubach, Warfield, etc.,
we have no difficulty in securing the full
stand of plants, in an average fair sea-
son, even if in starting the bed we put
the plants two feet apart. This is the

THIRTY.TWO CHILDREN.
A Vienna Woman Holds the iInterni"
~ Record for Austria.

ty Record for Austria.
If any woman ever deserved we'll OF
her country, the lady in question is a
Viennese who has just been described
by DR.. Alois Valenta in the Wiener
Medicinische Wochenscrift. Her mer-
its consist in having given many more
subjects and soldiers to the emperor
than any of his female subjects. Of,
course she is poor. AS a matter of fact,
abe is the wife of a needy linen weaver
of Neuerchenfeld, in Vienna, and, if she
did not give her husband a big mar
rage portion, she presented him with
no less than 80 children, and she is still
comparatively young, being only in her
fortieth year. She has been themother
of &c boys and girls.
The birth of the 80 childrenioccurred
in this wise, and in the following or
der: At the first birth were born four;
at the second, three; at the third,
four; at the fourth, two; at the fifth,
three; at the sixth, two; at the seventh,
three; at the eighth, three; at the
ninth, two; at the tenth, three, and ut
the eleventh three. The mother nursed
all her children herself. Another
strange feature of the case is that the
mother suffered from her fifteenth
year weekly, and sometimes daily, from
epileptic fits, which so far have not
been inherited by the children. She
herself was one of four at birth, and
her maternal parent in her time sue
ceeded in presenting her spouse with no
less than as children.
