ORANGES WITH HORNS.

Some Strange Varieties of the frui,
Grown by the Chinese.
The Chinese are very fond Of mon.
strous forms Of fruit and flowers, and
any departure from the normal form is
usually cherished and highly valued.
In their gardens they have numerous
forms of monstrous oranges-some
will produce fruit with points like
fingers, and are known as the Hand
Orange. Another form, says Meehan's
Monthly, has a long horn projecting
from the apex, and they are known as
the Horn Orange. Another variety,
which botanists have known by the
name of Citrus aurantium distortum
bears a fruit in the resemblance of a
cluster of sea shells. To one ignorant

Poultry Notes.

A contemporary discusses the value
OF the bantam on the farm and thinks
that 1t has no place. But there are
uses to which the bantam can be nut
that will make it as serviceable as
any other fowl. 1t is a good object

and by it we may awaken an interest
in general in poultry. 1t is a pet that
the children can cultivate the acuuaint-
ance Of and learn gentleness. The
mere production of eggs is a small
thing in a pet, though the bantam will

Disease and dirt go together in the
poultry yard as we'll as elsewhere. The
surest way Of getting some destructive
disease started among the poultry is
to leave the manure in the house in

Fruit With Poultry.

Every poultry keeper who has not
yet undertaken some kind of fruit cul-
ture in connection with his poultry
plant has missed something of the
good which life holds out and bids him
take, writes NJ. S. Perkins in Poultry
Monthly. Fruit growing and poultry
keeping are naturally friendly and al
lied pursuits of rural economy. They
go hand in hand, each assisting 10
make the other a larger and more per-
feet success. While the poultry pre-
sent orchard and fruit plantation with
splendid fertilizer and do large WORK
in the destruction of hostile and pre-
daceous insects which threaten all
profitable fruit culture, the trees, vines
and plants of the fruit garden anoro
the chickens, as we'll as mature fowls,
with abundant foraging territory and
protection from wind and sun beneath
their leafy foliage. The poultry keep
er and his family usually possess e
taste for eating fine fruit freshly gath

thermore, there Is ample opportunity
here for materially supplementing the
income from the poultry by the sale
OF considerable quantity of the vari-
GUS fruits at highest market prices.
The best market for fruit is usually
found IN the nearest small city, the in
habitants Of which are very ready to
buy good fruit, neatly put up and de-
hvered regularly, at prices far supe-
rior to what would be realized by sale
on commission in the markets Of
very large city, where heavy consign-
ments are too frequently met for COM
petition. Among the desirable fruits
for culture upon the poultry farm are
the various so-called small fruits, such
as strawberries, raspberries, currants
and blackberries, and the princely Or
chard fruits, such as apple, pear, plum
and peach. Plums have been recon-
mended for years as being desirable
for setting in poultry runs; the idea be-
ing advanced that the poultry would
catch and consume the troublesome
curculio, which stings the fruit so bad
ly. This is good advice on general
principles, although it can not be said
truthfully that any man who wants
good crop of plums can afford to de-
pend upon the hens to fight insect
enemies for him. The poultry will
help, but man must spray and jar the
trees also to acquire success. But there
is no doubt but that fowls, like all
insectivorous birds, are of large as
sistance in checking the ravages of
many species of insects, the bane of all
other fruits as well as the plum.

Poultry in New South Wales.

From recently compiled ofncial sta
tistics, it appears that there are 1000
persons in the colony of New South
Wales who are poultry-keepers; the
total population of this colony is L..
3l1, 40, so that something over 9 per
cent of the population are poultry
raisers. At the last census taking
there were in the colony 3,1SO,0OO
fowls; 100000 ducks; $4,000, turkeys,
and $4,000 geese. The annual produc-
ton Of eggs approximates 10000, 900;
this amount is not sufficient for the
local consumption, and is supplemented
by an import of about 100000 eggs in
excess Of the export. The statisticians
compute that the annual consumption
of poultry is 100000 fowls, 275.0o0
ducks, 100000 turkeys, and $4,000
geese. Poultry shows are conducted
annually in connection with the agri-
cultural shows, at which types Of Sc
lected and pure-strain birds are ex-
hibited, there being number of fowl
fanciers in the metropolitan county of
Cumberland, who devote all their en-
orgies to this business.-Ex.

Merritt Favors Temporary Control Of
the Filipinos

CHICAGO, Dec. 26,--AIajor.Gen Wes-
ley Merritt, retiring Military Governor of
the Philippines, accompanied by his bride,
formerly Miss Laura Williams, and his chief
aide, Major Strother, has arrived in this
city from New York. General and Mrs.
Merritt will remain at the residence of
Norman Williams, Mrs. Merritt's father,
until after the holidays, when they will re.
turn to New York city, where the General
will resume his position as Commander Of
the Department of the East, which he left
to go to Manila. In regard to the inhabi-
tants of the Philippine Islands, General
Merritt said:
The best we can do is to give them
good military government, give them what
civilians are necessary to administer the
civil functions of government, and when
they are ready to form a government Of
their own give them our blessing and let
them do So"
When asked what he thought of the pro-
posed increase in the standing army to l00,-
200 men, the General declared he had always
be!leved such an increase was necessary.
I'VE need a standing army of at least 75,-
000 men here in the United States" he de-
clared. "Now that we have acquired these
ew territories we shall need few more
But, in my belief, 25,000 men are ample and
sufficient for all possible emergencies in
Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippines to-
gether. The rest are needed in the United
States for garrison duty.

thorizing him to remain on the active list,
Rear Admiral Dewey will be placed on the
retiring list on December 20, 1909. Only
one other retirement will occur next year
that of Commodore w. L. Howson, now
commandant of the Boston navy yard.
There is strong sentiment in naval cir
cles in favor of the passage of law which
will permit the retention of Admiral Dewey
upon the. active list for ten years, as was
done in the case of heroes of the Civil War;
Reports from Manila that Admiral Dewey
desires to return home are not believed by
department officials, their advices from
him indicating that he desires to remain in
the Philippines. 1t is not expected here that
he will be detached from command of the
Asiatic station until just in time to reach
the United States on the eve of his retire
ment.
Work is being pushed by the navy de-
partment on the small cruisers and gunboats
to be used for patrol service in Cuban wa
ters. 1t is appreciated that in six days this
Government will assume control in Cuba,
and it is desired that the navy shall be pre-
pared to do its fair service in preserving
peace and order in the sea ports of the
island
