The practical farmer and horticul-

books than he had few years ago; but
this is chiefly because the books have a
much greater regard for the practical
man than they formerly had. Men
who write agricultural and horticu |.
tural books nowadays, are, for the most
part, those who have spent years of
hard work among plants. They are
thus able to give facts when they
write, and, if they find it necessary to
make theories for the explanation of
certain phenomena, these theories are
likely to be Ineligible and reasonable
because they are drawn from personal
experience. At the present time no
horticulturist thinks it smart to sheer
at books. There are lots OF books that
he would like to have. And the few

ment that fruit drying killed the sale
which might be on the fresh frlit.
The experiments Of the Department Of
Agriculture have extended over period
Of several weeks, and have been most
minute and careful. Large lots Of
peaches and apples infected with the
scale have been tested BY all known
methods OF commercial drying-by sun
drying, by evaporation, BY the use of
sulphur, and without-with the result
that each of these commercial processes
destroys the life of the scale. In the
experiments made each scale was close
~ watched for several weeks, and.
after the fruit had been dried, each
and every scale on every piece IN the
entire lot was examined BY the aid OF
powerful microscopes. In no instance
had the scale survived the process of
drying, thus proving conclusively that
dried fruits could not possibly propa-
gate the scale. The German expert.
who came over especially to inyesti-
gate the subject, was given samples of
the work and access to the experiments
while they We're being conducted. Al
though he was naturally non-commit-
tai, he appeared TO be convinced that
the conclusions OF this Government
were correct. The results of this ex-
Fermentation are being complied, and
as soon as they are transmitted to the
Swiss Government it is confidently be-
lieved the obnoxious decree will be re-
voked.

congressman are Being DeIuged with
Petitions.


Members OF Congress are being del.
uged with petitions from commercial
bodies OF various cities and towns in
favor OF the passage by Congress at the
coming session Of bill establishing a
cheap parcels post, intended to COM
pete with express companies, which
are not in good odor because they have
endeavored to evade the payment Of
the war revenue. The movement in
iavor OF cheap parcels post" origi-
mated In the East, but judging from
the letters and petitions received By
western members of Congress, the far
West is also aroused.
Packages are now sent through the
mails as merchandise, as everybody
knows, but the rates are higher than
the express companies charge. 1t is
proposed to make to rates for postage
packages as low or lower than the ex.
press companies. This system is in
vogue in England and various CONT
mental countries and is very popular.
several members of Congress have
prepared bills on this subject, which
they will present on the opening day.
IL is considered doubtful, however.
whether the Postofiiees and Postroads
Committee will act at once ON such
measures, for the Postofflce department
IS of the opinion that the transporta-
ton OF such packages would, under
present conditions, prove to be losing
investment. There is an annual deficit
IN the Postofiice Department. The ex-
penditnres have for many years been
lar IN excess of the receipts, chief |
among the reasons being the fact that
railroads have resorted to fraudulent |

CANAL FOR SALE.
Panama Company Submits a
Proposition to Washington.
ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS THE PRICE.

Takes No stock in His arguments
for His scheme.

Washington. Through its president.
NJ. Hutin, the Panama Canal Compan,
Of France has made an astounding
proposition TO this Government to pur.
chase its right in its canal project
The price, it is stated, is 800, 900. 600.
half OF the sum which the company
has sunk in the ditch at Colon.
Hutin submitted strong arguments
10 show the advantage of the Panama
canal route. He called attention to
the fact that unless the United States
bought out the Panama Canal Company
that organization would continue its
work OF constructing the canal, and
that in the event that two waterways
existed neither would be financial
success. On the other hand, il only
the Nicaragua canal or the Panama
canal were in existence it would be a
paying institution.
Furthermore, IIutin pointed out that
considerable advance in the eonstruc-
ton OF the Panama canal had already
been made, and that a great deal Of
money had been spent in building that
portion OF the waterway commencing
at Colon. The advantages OF the con.
struction of the canal at Panama. he
claimed, are much greater than is the
case with the Nicaraguan route, and
less money will have TO be spent in
completing the Panama canal than will
be required in the construction of the
entire Nicaragnan canal.
Secretary Hay listened patiently 10
the proposition OF the French director,
but gave him no encouragement. The
authorities believe that the moment
the construction of the Nicarapuan
canal is begun the death knell of the
Panama canal project will be sounded.
and they appreciate that Frenchmen
know this fact. 1t il expected that, |
falling to have the Panama project
purchased by the United States. the
French will organize a powerful lobby
against the Nicaraguan canal measure.
and will employ every effort to prevent
action by Congress during the coming
session.
AS a result of the downfall of the
Central American Republic, the author.
tiles are satisfied that great obstacle
IN the way OF the construction of the
Nicaraguan canal by the United States
mas been removed. 1t was due to pres
sure exerted upon Zelaya by those high
IN power in the Greater Republic that
ne attempted to complicate the situa-
ton, the new Greater Republic being
DESTROYS Of giving a concession for the
construction of the waterway to an
English syndicate. II is now believed
tnat zelaya will be amenable to reason.

appetite and an unthrifty condition

The increasing demand for mutton i
lar in excess OF the increase of popula-
ton, and shows plainly that it now
pays to raise sheep for food. A pound
OF mutton can be produced as cheaply
as q pound of pork and is much more
healthful.
In feeding sheep, as we'll as in feed
ing other classes of livestock, it is well
to remember that some variety now
and then stimulates both appetite and
digestion. The changes in rations in
feeding sheep, however, should be
made cautiously and the results closely
watched, as sudden changes are some.
times hurtful to them.
Before the farmer starts into the
breeding of sheep he must have def
mite object in view and must make
careful selection of his foundation
stock. If he wishes to produce wool
he should choose the Merino, but if
mutton is his chief object he should
choose one Of the larger breeds. II he
desires to produce both wool and NUT
ton judicious cross bred or grade may
be selected. But he should begin ON

cautiously, remembering that the ram
