PEcuLIARITiEs oFAPPLEcRoPs.
Orchards All Go on a strike In Certain
Years.

M w oh - - /"
Years.
When the apple crop is short the
scarcity is always likely to affect prices
most late in the winter a y the Cleve-
land Leader. Now the picking of the
russets and Baldwins has only jus.
ceased, where there were any to pick,
and yet apples cost about three times
as much in Cleveland as fruit did n
.ear ago. This, 1t is true, is an cx-
treme instance of the difference be-
tween an 'off" season for orchards,
and enc which was very much 'cn." The
crop is unusually deficient this year,
even for a time when no great yield
could be expected, and the abundance
of orchards broke all records in their
lavish yield. Still, the rise of 300 per
cent in the price of the most staple fruit
OF the United States and Of many other
countries in the temperate zone is so
great as to be a reproach to modern
horticulture. So great a change from
one e q to another should not be pcs
sible. 1t is always up and down in the
apple market. One year brings a good
crop and the next a small yield. with
hopeless persistency of alteration. Il
is o a question of climates. because
in any country where apples are grown
there will be single orchards of separ-
ate trees in nearly barren orchards that
bear all the fruit which could ever be
expected OF them. while all around
there are empty boughs. The trouble
appears to be the habit of bearing al
~ternate years, with nearly all the or
chards keeping the same seasons OF rest
and activity. 1t ought to be possible
for science and skill to change this
uniformity of habit into a more equal
division of favors between the years,
hat would give the apple growers
much greater profits. and the consum-
ers. who sre virtually the whole popu-
lation when apples are cheap and album
dant. would have much better supplies
of wholesome and useful food. Such
a reform In fruit culture would be wor-
thy OF the highest ambition. 1t hardly
seems possible. IL it is not beyond
human power it ought to be brought
about. for the general good and to the
great profit OF the men who learn how
10 make apple trees bear in the off
years and rest. if they must be. in the
years of plenty.

A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska OF the
Klondixe Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska OF the
zlondiSe Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
ity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or ar
the supply stores here OF further on,
this must be his primary concern. Up
on the in which the miner has
observed or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
! should be concentrated. but the most
careful attention In the selection OF
foods that will keep unimpaired inded-
nitely under all the condition which
they will have to encounter is inn
perative. For instance. as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part of every meal,
imagine the helplessness OF a miner
with a can OF spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best flour; it is the
cheapest in the end. Experience has
shown the Royal Baking Powder 20
be the most reliable and the trading
companies now uniformly supply this
brand, as others will not keep in this
climate. Be sure that the bacon is
sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may, of course. be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the ~prospector may be
able to pack or desire TO pay for
From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds of
cookery, which Is specially valuable for
use upon the trail or in the camp, is
published by the Royal Baking Pow
der company. of New York. The re-
ceipts are thoroughly practical, and the
mtshods are carefully explained, SO
that the inexperienced may. with its
aid, readily prepare everything requi-
site for a good, wholesome meal. or
ever dainties II he has the necessary
materials. The matter is in compact
though durable form. the whole book
weighing but two ounces. Under a
special arrangement. this book will be
sent free TO miners or others who may
desire 1t. We would recommend that
every one going to the Klondike pro-
cure a copy. Address the Royal Bak'
ing Powder co Nav York

QUARTER QUITE SATISFACTORY
Trade Has Gone Along without G.

\ week # rather queter trade and small.
er distribution, due to easily explainable
causes, closes Il quarter which has been
eminently satisfactory to nearly all
branches of trade and productive of an I'm.
precedented business in many favored
lines. The heavy foreign demand for our
products, particularly agricultural staples.
and the domestic movement in most lines
are evidenced by the heavily increased
bank clearings reported for the quarter;
and the effect on the commercial mortal.
ity is favorably reflected in total for the
first three months of 1898 of failures and
liabilities involved smaller than in the cor
responding period for four years past. Cur.
rent demand and distribution at the east
have been interfered with by the uncer.
tainties growing out of our unsettled for
eign relations. This has been particularly
manifest in a most pronounced indisposi-
ton on the part of buyers to anticipate fu-
ture wants, and some cancellation of or
dcrs for wooden goods are attributed di.
rectly to this cause. The outlook is for
