rison home. The prospect OF regaining

American Apples in Europe.


The United States Consul at Chem
nitz, Germany, advises Americans to
ship their apples this year to Germany.
If good fruit is chosen, such as will
stand long vOyage-the Baldwin APP
pie, for instance-he is confident that
the business win prove to be paying
one. Complaint has been made in Ger
many against American fruit because
of the fear of the Introduction of the
San Jose scale, which is one of the
most destructive diseases known to
fruit. Investigation has shown that the
fear of the Germans has been exagger-
ated. 1t is not denied that the San
Jose scale is found in some parts of
the United States, but diseased fruit is
not shipped abroad. Such a course
would soon result in destroying the ex-
port business. German experts are now
in the United States studying our fruit
So far as known they have not advised
exclusion. Az. orleans nave much to
learn about paC king fruit but they are
gaining a strong hold in the foreign
markets. For the five years preceding
1896 the annual average of shipments
of fruit from this country to Germany
amounted to over $4,000 00.-Balti-

Fa11-RolIiup Winter Grain.

While the roller ie a good implement
for filming and smoothing the surface
soil, it can very rarely be used effect
lively after winner grain is sown. AL
most all farmers agree that if soil is
heavy, it will produce better crops of
winter grain if the soil is left rough
after it is seeded. All the Jumps are
dissolved by winter freezing, and they
furnish the fine rich dust that is need
ed to fall upon the roots as they have
been lifted up by frost. The only con
ditions when rolling is helpful to winter
grain are when the soil is light, and
liable to blow away in winter. In such
case the rolling should be done as soon
as the grain is sown. 1t will pack the
light soil around the roots, and thus
cause the wheat to make enough
growth SO as TO partially protect itself
from winter killing, and will lessen the
effects of winds in blowing away sur

Kansas Failure Creates Excitement.
An attachment suit for $4,000 filed at
Abilene, Kan, by the Gillespie Commits
sion Company of Kansas City against
Grant q. Gillett of Woodbile precipitated
great excitement among cattemen and
commission men. Gillett has been the
cattle king of the State for three years.
Starting with nothing, he has shipped
over 100000 cattle from Texas. OF late
he had been hard pressed and few days
ago he made an assignment and deed of
trust to ID. w. NALL and went to Texas.
Nall refused to accept the trusteeship and
papers are not filed. The registers office
shows more than 81 100000 of his paper,

ing cattle being fed. The commission
firms claim that many cattle have been
mortgaged more than once About 5000
head are at his ranch. Gillett is 81 years
old and has startled the old cattlemen by
his bold methods. Gilmore a. Cooper, the
Gillespie Commission Company and Trow-
ers d Sons, Kansas City, have handled
most of his paper, but dozen or more
Kansas City firms besides these have
been caught for varying amounts.

Choice Bacon.

The secret of producing choice bacon,
says the American Swineherd, lies in
the feed trough. If any one doubts
this, let him put two Poland China,
Berkshire, Chester-W Duroc, Jer-
sey or any of our recognized breeds of
hogs in two different pens, feed one all
the corn he can eat until fat, and the
other boiled potatoes. milk. barley or
wheat ground fine and some pea meal
until fat tthe old country way). Kill
both, put in dry salt for six or seven
weeks. then take out and wash, and
hang 1t up in the kitchen or drying
house until thoroughly dried; then cut
off a good. big chunk and boil it. let
1t stand till cold; then cut off a few
slices, and you will see the corn-fed
meat Is not so firm, is more oily, and
not so many streaks of lean as meat
fed on barley, potatoes, milk, etc, and
this is all the difference you or any one
else can detect.

Cats Around Rarns

The habit which many people have of
pc ting cats and keeping them close by

hunting instinct and makes the cat

cat is at the barn. where 1t can make
itself useful killing The mice or rats

Another Member for the Cabinet.
President Mckinley is receiving memo
rails and petitions from business men all
over the country, urging the establish

cabinet addition, and also asking him to
create a tariff bureau for the competent
consideration of the new and complex
questions raised since the acquisition of
colonial possessions. There seems to be
a concerted movement in favor of the new
cabinet department and the tariff bureau.
The national Business League" which
is strongly advocating both, is sending
communications to the White House, and
they. are coming from various other
sources. In his annual message the Presi-
dent will recommend the establishing of

the fact that when made it is almost
