Quality of Evoporoted Eru;.

SO much is said about the advantage
of fruit eyaporatlng to make a market
for otherwise unstable fruit that many
may think II makes little difference
what its quality may be- The truth is
that only the really good fruit should
be used for the eyaporator. 1t may be
and often is unstable because of blem.
ishes which affect its looks but do not
impair quality. But to take green,
worm-eaten fruit and put it through
the evaporation is n mistake. Its first
effect is to discourage the consumer.
making him think that evaporated fruit
is not so good rs he expected. Poor
fruit is not worth much for the pigs,
but that or other stock is the best mar.

There is less loss in disposing of it than

these days depend more on the kind of
stock he keeps than on any other fac

Something like a RIaze.

Prairie and forest fires, although
causing widespread mischief and even
ruin, do not last long. But it is on
record that In the year 400 a great
wood of cypress trees in the island of
Crete, one of the largest In the Medit-
erranean, was set FIRE to either by NAL
Ice of by the suns heat or other acci-
dent, and could not be put out for sew

Marketing Turnips.

To get the best prices for turnips the
grower must calculate to sell a large
part of his crop from house to house.
1t is a vegetable that almost every
householder will buy one or two BUSH
els of and not like the potato, which
must be secured in sufficient quantities
to supply the table twice day through
the winter. 1t is best always to grow
both the white for early use and either
a late yellow turnip or rutabaga for use
in spring. If brought to their houses
the turnips can always be sold at about
the price charged by the grocers per
bushel. II the difference between the
turnips for early and late use is ex-
planned most households will take a
bushel OF each. 1t makes extra work
for the farmer to peddle his turnips,
but the double price he gets over what
the grower would pay makes it worth
his while. 1t is for the consumers in
terest also TO buy turnips fresh from
the field, rather than the grocery stock
that for days, or perhaps weeks, have
been exposed TO the air.

During the past few years unusual
interest has been taken in shredding
fodder. Many have hesitated, thinking
that the shredded corn would not keep
wei in the NOW or stack. When first
practiced more or less fodder was
shredded in somewhat damp condi-
ton. 1t invariably heated in the NOV,
became musty, and gave unsatisfactory
results. The fodder should not be run
through the machine until it is entirely
dry and well cured 1t would be better

Free silver is a dead ISSUE" he
said. when l was at our state con-
vention and they adopted resolutions
indorsing free silver and reaffirming
their fealty to Bryan, l told some OF
my friends an ancient story. When a
Scythian King died his court arrayed
him in all the habiliments of royalty,
placed his crown on his head and his
scepter in his cold, clammy hand, and
they with great solemnity would march
into the regal presence, saluting and

arch, cryin, Long lived the King
So with the retainers of free silver:
they know their monarch is dead, but
they are still going through the post
mnrtem ceremony.
"In 1895 I was in Denver. and be-
came acquainted withe the managing
editor of the Denver Republican, a
bright young fellow. who was a strong
free silver mar. Why he said to
me, do you mean to tell me that this
great and rich nation isn't able to es-
ia blish and maintain a financial sys-
tenn Of its own, without the aid or con-
sent of any other nation?'
My young friend [ replied,
'~thirty-six years ago | engaged in the
enterprise Of establishing and sus-
taing a system in the Southern Con-
federacy, without the aid or consent of
any other nation on earth. When the
war was imminent some of us feared
We could not succeed without the aid
Of some of the great European powers.
But the leaders said no: we were great
and rich and powerful enough to main
tain a system of our own. without the
aid or consent of any other power on
earth. Well. we spent four years and
billions of treasure and a million lives
before we were convinced that we
couldn't do it. Why: Because the
world was against us. And it is
against Us now on the financial ques-
ton. Gold is the standard OF the civil

world is against your free silver prop
osition, and VT must accept the situa-
