Bad Fruit Prospects. .

ly. In Hollis bottom, where some Of
the best orchards in Ohio Valley are To-
Gated, the fruit seems blighted. An in
sect pest has been at work and a devas-
tation of the crop has resulted. R. T.
Mattingly reports fruit in his neighbor-
hood to be in an unpromising condition.
All varieties OF green fruit are falling
from the trees, They do not seem to
possess any vitality.
The opinion of the fruit growers seems
to be that last winters very severe
weather has overtaxed the trees and
that as a result, they cannot bear fruit.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

with hired power. The expense would
also include separating the kernel from
the hull4. The steers we're fed SEPARATE
ly in each lot in large box stalls that OPP
EN- into small lots The quality Of pea
hay was first claes, and the quantity Of
hay and cotton seed products fed at each
feeding was determined by the manner
in which the foods were eaten at the
last feeding.
AS the results Of the trial, the lot fed
cotton meal and cotton huls had a bet
ter appetite for food at each feeding than
the lots feed cotton seed. Cotton hulls
was preferred to cowpes hay. The meal
was eaten first, then the hulls and then
the hay. Whether the hul's were pre-
fered because less rich cannot be deter
mined in this trial. The preference
shown for bulls would indicate that the
hay, or part Of it, could have been
omitted without any loss in gains, and at
a cheapening Of the cost of feeding.
The lot fed ground cotton seed did not
appear to have any sharper appetite for
ground seed than the other lot for whole
seed. These steers, however showed a
decided preference for the kernels OF the
seed, especially as the feeding period
progressed. They endangered to select
them from the bulls as far as this was
possible before eating the hulls. This
seems to indicate that the ground seed
would be feed TO better advantage by
feeding the kernels aud hulls separately,
more seed perhaps would be eaten and
less hay would be required and perhaps
hay Of lower food value would be
sufficient. Unless the bulls and kernels
are separated when ground there is no
increase Of consumption by grinding the
seed for feeding 80 days.

Cotton Seed For Feed.

A so days feeding OF cotton meal and
hulls ground cotton seed and whole cot
ton seed to steers was tried at the Ar
kansas Exp. Station in the winters Of
1897 and 1898 TO secure results for those
who are in doubt as to whether meal
and bulls or seed should be used to fin
ish off steerB for beef when the relative
market values of the foods are not the
same. Feeders are usually cotton far
mers and haye the seed on hand, where
as the meal has to be bought and hauled,
and when it is bought the seed is usually
sold and has to be hauled TO the railroad
or TO an oil mill, il one is in the vicinity.
Ordinarily when meal and seed are at
the railroad the meal in the seed sells
for about the same price per ton as meal.
But in favor of the seed on the farm is
the value OF the hulls on the seed, the
cost of hauling the seed to the railroad
and the cost Of hauling back the meal.
In feeding seed and meal the weather is
also factor in influencing the results,
though it is not often taken into the ac-
count, but in this trial its influence was
observed as far as possible.
In making this experiment three lots
OF five steers each were used. One lot
was fed cotton meal and cotton bulls in
the same proportion as they exist in the
seed TO one lot crushed or ground seed
was fed, and to the third lot whole cot
ton seed was given. To each lot COW.
pea hay was fed.
The steers were allowed TO eat as much
hay and cotton seed products as they de-
sire, but the ratio OF cotton meal and
bulls was kept constant in the lots TO
which they were fed. This was an easy
thing 10 do, because the steers preferred
hulls 10 hay. The total hulls fed show a
q slight excess OF the ratio, but that is
due TO feeding all the huls that the
steers would eat during the last week Of
feeding TO see the extent Of the prefer
ence for hulls TO hay. The ground seed
was prepared by grinding or cutting
them with rapidly revolving knives in a
mill made for that purpose. The kernels
Of the seed was not separated from the
bulls, though the mill was fitted with a
separator. Ground seed was fed TO one
lot in order 10 ascertain II in that form
the seed would be palatable and make
better gains than whole seed The ex-
psnse Of grinding Was 80 cents per ton

About Cut Worms.

Cutworms are hard TO catch, as they
keep hidden during the day. Usually
they do but little damage if the garden
is plOwed very early in the spring and
allowed to freeze and thaw few times.
A good way to kill them is to sprinkle
paris green on slices OF potatoe and lay
these pieces on freshly set out plants.
Paris green also kills potatoe bugs in
a very short time. Most people use the
mixture too strong. Two ounces to fifty
gallons of water is efectual if the mix
ture is kept constantly stirred. Striped
cucumber bugs are about the hardest we
have to deal with. They come in night
and destroyed the vines in a day. Us
ually they send a scattering advance
guard which should be the warning, for
thousands are sure TO follow. Mix five
Pounds of air Stacked lime and a quarter
OF an ounce of paris green very thorough
ly and dust the leaves with this while
the dew is on in the morning.
Do this before the bugs come aud re-
peat it occasionally until danger is past,
which will be the last OF June usually,
although they sometimes come later.
Do not leave any clods around the hills.
Make the surface smooth, so their will
be no hiding place for the bugs, and
sprinkle the mix on the ground
pretty freely, Soot from chimney where
wood is used is good, and We lave driv-
en- them away with road dust sprinkled
freely on the leaves as they seem not to
like grit Be sure to get the remedy,
whatever is used, on the other side of
the levtes, as there is whrere they
feed.
Squash borers are becoming worse
every year, seeming ly, and in some Sec
tlons they have made it almost impossi.
BILE to grow tquashes, They work in the
vines, beginning the roots. The eggs
are laid early in the season on the stems
just where they come from the ground,
and the borer matches and work inside.
The lime and paris green will be a
good thing to use early in the season,
and as the vines begin 10 grow hoe soil
over the crown where the vines come
from the ground. AS the vines make
growth cover every second Joint with
soil to the depth of two inches and roots
will strike into the soil almost at once,
adding vigor to the vine, even keeping
it growing when the borers succeed in
getting into it, If the vine begins TO
droop, split it open with a sharp, thin
knife and find the bore and kill Then
cover with soil and it will usually revive
and grow without injury.
Cabbage worms are certain TO be with
us, but the are 30 easily destroyed that
they should not create much alarm.
Take common Persian insect powder, be-
ing sure to get which is fresh, and put it
into common powder gun, or in the
absence OF that pepper box with per-
forated top, and early in the morning
sprinkle little Of the powder over the
inside Of the leaves on the worms that
are at work. In five minutes every
worm that is touched will be dead and a
few such treatments are all that is neces-
sary in season. The insect powder is
not poisonous to anything but insects
and may be used with saiety.-Progress-

THE DUDE.

The dude" comes out of the war
with more reputation for sense and
grit than when he scaled the heights
of San Juan. Lord Kitchener's dudes,
drifting dawdlers in the London draw
ing rooms. celebrated the coolest of
moral pluck at Omdurman the other
day.
The dude as a rule, is a case of
suppressed energy. He is one of those
whom Col Parker calls, 1.-The neglected
children of the rich" His fond pa
rents put a gold spoon in his mouth
when he was in the cradle, and their
blighting love and demoralizing care
keeps it there. He is nursed, watched
and shielded from harm" as it is call
ed, but which really is wholesome con-
tact with the world. He is allowed to
take few risks, because he may hurt
himself. He must not know the world
lest he become corrupted. His parents
keep him, morally. as shorn lamb,
and prevent the winds of heaven from
visiting him roughly. An acquaintance
asked a rich and sensible dude in
great city, why the large majority Of
rich young men in the large city were
dudes He said, because our papas
and our mamas make us so. They don't
know how to set us to work. Our papas
want us to learn how to make money.
But we don't feel the need of money.
Why should we work for it?"
The dude often has fine brains, and
strong energy, but he cannot create
opportunities. He finds that the relt-
giOn of his home is orthodox enough,
but resembles that of the old kanaka
who always joined Jehovah and the
native god Lono in his prayers, because
it made a safe religion. The dude
is taught by his rich parents to love
God, but at the same time not TO neg
1ect the golden Calf. The richest Pro-
testant Presbyterian Church in Amer
lea, in which 1.-The neglected children
of the rich abound, sings with enthu-
siasm every month the hymn, From
Greenland's Icy Mountains and ex-
presses fervent belief in the abstract
doctrine of preaching the gospel to the
heather. but it never sends any
of it's rich young dudes beyond the
seas in exile and self denial. Here are
the grand opportunities for the dudes,
but the loving parents cannot spare

them, and SO keep them at home and
dwarf them soul and body.
These neglected children of the rich"
have fabby intellectual muscles, as a
rule, because the best exercise is de-
MED them. Parental love strikes out of
their book of Life the words, sweet
are the uses of adversely" Parental
love goes before the dudes, and clears
away the lions from the paths, and
puts down rugs over the sharp stones.
One would expect that the great
scientists, the educators, the inventors,
the statesmen, the working philan-
thropists should come from that social
class that holds the wealth that gives
the largest opportunity for training,
and preparation for the best work.
But, instead, it is the men who are
making the struggle for existence and
drive away the lions in the highway
who are the pioneers at the head of
the columns.
1t is a curious phase of our present
civilization, that SO many Of those who
are Tree lEOl1l the uluuSeIS oI udllt iOI4
and are equipped with the education
of the schools and colleges, dawdle in
the club rooms of the cities and re-
cruit the army of dudes. President
Barnard of Columbia said it was due
to the low environment of what are
called good homes that made these
young men the neglected children of
the rich
But there are signs of better days.
The value and force of the University
extension is largely due to the dude
who finds an opportunity before him
to engage his energies. The influence
of the educated women, the women
who love brave and self sacrificing
men that do not wear shoulder straps,
and do not tell stories of blood and
iron, slowly thins out the dude class.
These are the women who will be the
mothers of men of deeds and not of
creedS.

HOSTILE LEGISLATION.

The sugar beet men with their allies
in interest are, We learn, making
strong effort to induce Congress TO
include Hawaii in the list of colonies
that shall not have the benefit of the
protective tariff Their best leverage
is the labor question. They are press
ing closely the argument that Hawaii
will seriously injure the laboring man
in the beet and cane field. The force
OF this argument, if there is any in it,
we do not discuss. 1t is plausible OF
course, however untrue it is.
lit is not necessary that the argu-
ment Should be sound one to secure
action in Congress unfavorable to our
interests.
But it is hardly possible for Congress
TO enact any law, discriminating
against this territory, which will be
constitutional.
The expansionists take the ground
that Congress can do about as it
pleases with conquered and annexed
territories, and in regulating their re-
cations to the Federal government.
While these views are pronounced, very
patriotic and glorify the Flag, they
may express the death sentence of Ha-
waiian prosperity. Looking at the
matter from the standpoint of self in
terest which is the usual standpoint
from which things are regarded in
every community, the doctrine of Ex-

duced by hostile legislation will have

it emaciates their bodies.
The situation places us rather be-
tween the Devil and the deep sea. If
We shout for Expansion we may be
endorsing a policy which will enable
Congress to sacrifice us for the good
of the whole If we side with Anti
Imperialism, we shall be denounced
by the Only Candidate as miserably
lacking in patriotism.
At the present time, it is most un-
fortunate that this territory, as a po-
litical unity, has no active representa-
tive in Washington. Mr.. Kinney will
be regarded, as he is, as a representa-
tive of the planters only, who are not
expected to look after affairs other
than their own. The local government
has ceased to represent sovereignty,
and has no occasion whatever to press
any political considerations in Wash
ington. The community moreover is
divided on the fitness or capacity Of
residents to administer the laws. In
the meantime Congress. acting in ig
norance, may enact laws which strike
at all interests to some extent.
