The fruit-growers at Pentwater,
Mich, have taken the initiative step
to protect their interests in the way Of
handling fruits. A stock company has
been organized with capital of $4,000,
the management to make contracts
with strictly reliable dealers i'll such
way as to protect the growers. A de-
tective service is contemplated to in
vestigate all complaints of unfair treat
ment of shippers and cause for COM
plants by the commission dealers
against the farmers for any sharp or
underhand practice on the part of the
shipper. To make the work of the
company effective, farmers are being
organized into local unions. The local
unions report the names of their mem
bers to the company and pay over a
membership fee of one dollar each.
The secretary OF the local union ascer-
tains the number of acres and condi-
ton of the different kinds of fruit to
be shipped. All these facts will be re-
corded by the cOmpany's secretary, who
will designate the markets to which
shipments should be made from ea3a
local union, so that none shall go to
an over-stocked market. The COM
pany is determined to secure the best
prices possible for union members, who
are to pay one dollar each every three
months to the company, in order to
continue it's beneficiaries. Several
strong local unions have been organ
lied in Mason and Oceana Counties

Law and Grating.

A peculiar case came up bofore a
Judge in the county of Huron, Ont, in
which the methods of a professional
CRATER were under examination. Ac-
cording to a report of the trial it ap-
peared that Cooke Of Clinton applied
to MURDOCH farmer near Brucefeld,
to get grating to do. Murdoch asked
his terms: Cooke said cents a graft
to insure. or cents each, cash, and
take your chance, says Michigan
Farmer. Murdoch said, go on; and
Cooke grated thirty-four trees, put
ting on, so he said, 3,4OO CRAFTS, at 8
cents each, $1O2. Murdoch was stag
gered, but paid $40 on ACCOUNT and
then got some expert evidence, this
evidence being that from 600 to 800
gratis were all that should have been
put in. He therefore, when sued, paid
S. more into court, making $25 with
The sum previously paid Cooke, and
fought it out At the trial an armful
of limbs from the orchard was brought
into court, and it was shown that gratis
had been put in decaying and broken
limbs, and, in fact, everywhere a graft
would stick, more for the purpose, as
the judge said in dismissing the ac-
ton, of running up bill than for Civ
ing the best results in fruit. The
Judge said that the S25 which Murdoch
had paid was enough, and dismissed
the action with COSTS

roguishly into her face, and the coun-

The counters smiled still more
brightly, and stretched out her hand
toward the bell.
Felicie flew to reach it, and after the
necessary orders had been given, she
threw off her mantle, playfully seated
the countess again in the easy chair,
and drew a cushion of emerald velvet
to her feet

The delicately penciled eyebrows OF
the countess contracted. and weary
look of pain flickered a moment over
her face.
She took up the fairy hands crossed
over her knee and kissed them softly.

have yours of the 26th this a. L.,
enclosing clipping from a Chicago pa

that the article has simply a naked
basis in fact-something to build upon.
There is a gentleman named Jackson,
who runs a small farm near Atlanta,
and who is engaged in booming a So
called African variety of cotton, etc.
etc After some difficulty | succeeded
in getting a few seeds of the cotton,
OF undoubted purity, and have now in
progress an elaborate, competitive test,
including 81 varieties of cotton, en-
braclng most of our popular, prolific
varieties, seeds Of which are easily OBJ
tainable at from so cents to $3.50 per
Sushel. So far | note nothing peculiar
ln the cotton. The plants have an up
right habit of growth, and the fruit |
lie produced on short fruit spurs, each |
containing from two to five bOlls. Usu-
ally there is one or more long side |
branches that proceed out from the !
main stem near the ground. This |
habit, however. is not so very remark
able. In fact it so happens that one
of the varieties planted in the com
petitive test, and in rows adjacent TO

At the close of the season l will make
an exhaustive report OF the test, which
will be published IN bulletin form. At
present there is no indication that the
yield will be even equal to the average
yield of the other 20 varieties. A few
bells have already opened and show

There is now no possibility Of any ma
