According to a report from the Kan
sas experiment station there are four
important reasons why fruit may fail
to set:
1. The pollen may be insufficient in
quantity. This applies particularly to
the strawberry. Many Of our culti-
waited varieties, the so-called pistillate
sorts, produce only a small amount OF
pollen, not enough for complete fertili-
cation (such as Bubach, Warfleld, Cres-
cent?. A failure from this cause may
be easily prevented by planting pollen"
producing varieties (the so-called STAN
mate sorts alongside the others (such
as Capt. Jack, Parker Earle, CANDY
2. Insects may be prevented from VS.
itlng the flowers during the receptive
period. II bees are kept from fruit
blossoms by netting or other artificial
means, the amount of fruit set is little
or none. It not lnfrequently happens
that Indictment weather prevents or
hinders the flying Of bees during the
UeTlUu WHSU IuO uOWSio VIZ iNNNPN''N'
A fruit tree, half of which was SUBJ
jected to continuous spray OF water
during the towering period, produced
no fruit upon the sprayed portion, bu'
ar abundance upon the other. A fall
ure due to the above mentioned cause
cannot we'll be prevented, but may be
modified by having bees near at hand
to utilize the short favorable periods
which do occur
8. In some varieties Of fruits the
flowers are self-sterlle and refuse to
take pollen even from another flower
on the same plant. Fertilization can
then take place only when the pollen
comes from a separate plant, that Is
from a plant arising from q separate
seed. All our varieties Of orchard and
sInlll fruits are reproduced by cut

TenchIng Rnnre Onttlo 10 Ent,

]. II. Shepherd OF the North Dakota
Experiment Station says: In the feed
Ing experiment at this station we
found much trouble In getting some
OF the range steers to cat grain food.
They were flrst fed q mixture of bran
and shorts with a little oil meal and
seemed TO gradually learn to like II.
There was much difference In indlvid-
uals, some taking to grain very read
lily, even greedily, after a few days,
while others ate sparlngly for n long
time. These steers which failed to
learn to eat readily did not seem to
be what are known by feeders as
dainty" steers, but only slow In
learning to eat. can readily sec how
considerable percentage OF such
steers In bunch of cattle fed togeth-
er might induce the feeder to increase
the quantity of grain feed too rapidly
for the capacity of the more greedy
animals, 1t was found also that after
these steers had acquired a taste for
bran and shorts that they did not care
for 30 palatable o food as corn meal of
a good grade, It took n number o..
days to get certain of them to eat
even a fair amount Of corn meal after
having learned to eat bran and shorts
greedily The same difficulty, although
less marked, was found In starting the
lot OF steers upon barley after the pre-
liminary feeding on bran and shorts
for a month. 1t will thus be seen that
the feeder will be obliged to exercise
care and to watch his animals closely
when change In the ration Ia made.

An inventory Of the cold storage
houses OF this city shows that the!d
stock OF eggs at tho present time is
$4,000 cases, which will probably DO
increased to 100000 cases before tho
houses close, about October 18th. Az
each case holds 90 dozen eggs, these
$4,000 cases represent tho enormous
aggregate OF 153,OOO,OOO eggs. No eggs
except those which ara absolutely
fresh and perfect arc accepted by tho
storage companies, Those which arc.
bought from Arms who are known TO
employ expert egg testers, are taken
without inspection, but in all other
cases every egg is "candled," that 10,
mold before a light strong enough to
reveal any talnt or imperfectlon. An
expert can examine In this way TWEEN
ty-hYo to thirty cases Of eggs a day.
The cold storage companies do heavy
lobbing business In eggs, and book
their orders months ahead for delivery
ut certain time. The business 10 80
well organized that there are no waste
products. EGGS which are not SUM-
clently fresh to pass muster by the ex-
perts are sold to the bakers in tene-
ment districts, and even when they nro
absolutely spoiled there Is still mar
ket for them. Parts OF these spoiled
eggs aro employed In the manufacture
OF Photographic supplies and In the
preparation Of kind OF shoe polish.
A dislnfectant Ia also made from them.
They are used in q process of tanning
leather. and the shells have some val
ue as a fertilizer. The states which
rank highest as egg producers are:
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and In-
diana. Among these Iowa takes the
lead on account OF the high quality
OF the poultry raised there. The cold
storage houses will begin to dispose
OF their accumulated product about tho
first OF January, They will then 80 out
by the car load to all parts of the coun.
try, returning perhaps to tho very To-
calities In which they were purchased,
and by the first OF March not q case
may remain.

II Is not 80 easy to tell the age Of n
hen as II is that Of domestic animals,
says an exchange. Since the practice
OF dehorning, the cows age can no
longer be ascertained by the number
Of wrinkles In her horn. The horse
and the sheep have teeth which dis
close their age, and II has been said
that the spur on the hen will disclose
her age. 1t is comparatively easy to
tell an old hen from young one, but
to come any ways near the exact age
Will require a good deal of experience
and even then II Is difficult to explain
how others may do the same thing
Nearly every housewife has a way of
telling the pullet from the hen by
the condition OF tho breast bone. APP
pearance is about all wo have to 60
by In ascertalning the age Of a fowl.
The breast bone is all right, but tho
pullet will have other Indications in
her general appearance that will per-
NIT tho practical poultryman to dis
tinguish her from the hen. A pullet
looks bright around the eyes, and as
she grows older, like person, her
head will show her age. 1t will DO
we'll to remember, however, that II a
pullet is out Of condition she will have
an aged look, and may at this time be
taken for a hen. There Is n young
look about the pullet, generally, that
the hen does not possess.

The unpleasant condition known az
"scaly legs" comes from parasite
which gets under the scales Of the
fowls shanks. One form OF treatment
to serve as preventive is given by
an Indiana poultry raiser as follows.
l take n quart can full Of lard, coal oil
and crude carbollc acid and set the
can In an old bucket, plllng hot ashes
and some Goals around 1t. Then, with
q swab made by wrapping rags on the

venting scaly legs. | never had a case

Cereals for the West.-H. M. Cottrell
Of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege is quoted as saying: 1.-THE choice
Of crops depends somewhat on local
ity. For Manhattan and points west
and probably for most Of the uplands
Of the eastern and southern parts Of
the state red Kafilr corn is better
crop than Indian corn. In the past
nine years at the Kansas Experiment
Station red Kafiir corn has yielded
about one-third more grain per acre
than corn, and our experiments show
that for fattenlng steers and pigs
KafIlr corn and Indian corn are prac-
tically equal, pound for pound. III
your soil is suitable for listing, list
the Kafiir corn the same as you would

ing sound was heard above the roar
of battle, a great spout of black
smoke shot up from the torpedo boat
and she was out of commission. The
Iowa, which was coming up fast,
threw a few complimentary shots at
the second torpedo boat and passed
on. The little Gloucester, formerly
Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair. then
sailed in and finished the famed Span

Gun for gun and shot for shot,
running fire was kept up between the
Spanish cruisers and the four Ameri-
can vessels. At 1890 o'clock the In
fanta Teresa and Nizcava were al
most on the beach and were evidently
in distress. AS the Texas was firing
at them white flag was run up IN

called Captain Phillip, and a moment
later both the Spaniards were beach
ed. Clouds of black smoke rose from
each and flashes of flame could be al
so seen through the smoke. Boats
were visible putting out from the big
cruisers to the shore. The Iowa then
waited to see that the two warships
were really out of the fight. The
Iowa herself had suffered some very
hard knocks.
The Brooklyn, Oregon and Texas
pushed ahead after the Colon and the
Almirante, which were now running
a great race along the coast. At
10: so o'clock Cevera's flagship. the Al
mirante Oquendo, suddenly headed in
shore. She had the Brooklyn and the
Oregon abeam and the Texas astern.
The Brooklyn and Oregon pushed on
after the Cristobal Colon, which was
making fine time and which looked as
if she might escape, leaving the Tex
as to finish the Almirante OQuendo.
This work did not take her long.
The Spanish ship was already burn
ing. At 1905 o'clock down came the
yellow and red flag at her stern. just
as the Texas got abeam of her she
was shaken by "A mighty explosion.
The Texas left the Almirante Oquendo
to her fate to join in the chase of the
Cristobal Colon.
The Brooklyn headed the pursuers.
She stood well out from shore in or

Ion at a point jutting out into the
sea far ahead. The Oregon kept
middle course about a mile from the
cruiser. The desperate Don ran close
along shore and now and then threw
a shell. The Texas kept well up in
the chase under forced draught for
over two hours. The fleet Spaniard
led the Americans a merry chase,
but had no chance. The Brooklyn
gradually forged ahead, so the escape
of the Cristobal Colon was cut off at
the point above mentioned. The Ore
gon was abeam of the Texas then and
the gallant Don gave it up.
At 1915 he headed for the shore and
five minutes later down came the flag
of Spain. The Texas, Oregon aud the
Brooklyn closed in on her and stopped
their engines few hundred yards
away. Commodore Schley went on
