horticultural Observation.

From time to time we hear reports
Of the enormous profits realized from
gardens under glass. An English gar
dener claimed q short time ago that
he could make more money from ten
acres under glass than most men could
make from 10000 acres of land not un-
der glass. This is probably n little
strong for most of us to accept. How
ever, that enormous sums are made by
men that farm under glass Is true, but
1t is also true that the expense is cor
respondingly great. The writer knows
of man at Minneapolis who has a
considerable area under glass, He
sells annually several thousand dol
lars worth Of cucumbers and tomatoes
before other growers get the same
products into the market. AS he has
no competition he can set his own
price, and he does. We have recently
seen an account of German gardener
located near Leadville, Colo, who sells
several thousand dollars worth Of
cucumbers each winter from his glass
garden, charging sometimes as high as
% cents per cucumber.
The Wealthy apple is one that Is
very valuable in the Northwest, where
1T is so difficult to raise any kind OF
apple of fair quality. To find apples
that will stand all tests as to hardi-
ness and productiveness is not an easy
task, and some of the best horticul-
| turis.s in the west and northwest have
| devoted much time during their lives
to produce something that would be a
| benefit to future generations. Among
the many attempts few have succeeded
| One of the successes has been the
Wealthy apple, and the successful man
was Peter NJ. Gideon. residing at Ex-
celsior, Mimi. The Wealthy apple has
! proved so successful that it Is fruited

sums of money have been made out oil

We understand that Mr.. Gideon Is now
more than S4 years of age and in des-

have started a movement to in some

Our New suitana Makes Her Son n Flag
Word comes from the island OF Sulu
that the dowager sultana has Just com
pleted with her own hands a new flag
to be carried by her royal son, the
reignlng sultan. The nag Is red and
the neld. on which appear the Ave
stars, Ia blue. The four smaller stars
represent the four principal tribes
which owe allegiance to the sultan. The
large star in the center Is supposed TO
stand for the sultan himself. People
who are versed in the internal politics
OF the Sulu archipelago say That the
dowager sultana may get her son into
trouble by making his star so much
larger than the others. The chiefs or
datos OF the four tribes are mighty
men Of war and are expected to object
strongly to the undue prominence
given their nominal chief on the new
flag.

New Use for Dried Apples.

1t seems that the consumption of
wine in France is steadily diminishing
owing partly to the prevailing opinion
among the common people that wine
is too frequently injuriously adulter-
atcd, so they have turned to n bever-
age which they believe is too cheap to
warrant adulteration, namely. cider.
In 1895 the consumption Of cider
IN Paris alone was upwards or
),0oO,OOo gallons. But in 1898 owing
10 the failure of the apple crop in the
provinces where the product was made,
the cider consumption dropped to COM
paratively nothing. Owing to the pro-
hihitiye duties on cider Of about six
teen cents a gallon in Paris, its ex-
tcnsive importation was impossible. It
was necessary to obtain a substitute
in which" as our consul at Bordeaux,
the famous American author, Albion
w. Tourgee, says, two things are es-
sential-first it must have a pleasant

purse" To meet this demand "pi-
Quette" WAS evolved A sparkling,
fruity but harmless beverage.
Following is recipe furnished by
one of the leading manufacturers OF
Bordeaux; Five pounds of raisins,
five pounds Of dried apples, and five
gallons of water. Put in an open cask
and let stand for three days; bottle
with Tablespoonful Of sugar and
a Bit of cinnamon in each bottle. Vary
the flavor to suit the taste.
In 1898 100000 gallons Of this
beverage were 'sed in France. OF in
terest to us Is the market offered for
dried apples. The consul says that
The dried apples used in it's manu-
faCture are the lowest grade CT wind
ialis-sliced, including skins. cores,
and inhabitants without distinction
rs to quality or variety, except as fol-
lows:
"G) The thin slices must be well
dried and securely packed, so as not
to color or heat upon the voyage. The
slices must be white and have q spicy
odor or they will not sell. 60 Decay
ed or ovcr-ripe fruit Should not be
used, as it gives TOO darl 4 color to
the product and will not bring a price
sufficient to pay cost of shipment"

Bronze hay was heavy crop on the

tons to the acre, with an average crop
Of about 2la tons. An interesting fact
came to light in connection with the
feeding of Bronze grass and hay to the

ed every month and when they had
been feeding two weeks on Bronze
grass and hay it was found that an
average gain Of 40 LIS. head had been
made over the previous Weighing.

The newspaper is expected to ad-
vertise the town, help build mp the
private as well as public'enterprises
and to always bereaay to write up
a column article upon the advent
or departure of "the leading citi-
zens". The pay for all this is found
in a subscription list of few hun
dred names, half of which are de-
linouent from the time the paper
was started and the remainder has
been paid for in wood, greens or
some other commodity that could
find no cash buyer.
