Now that the European demand for
American apples is heavy, 1t being
estimated that it will be this season
1.2l7.767 barrels in excess Of the de-
mand last year. appie-growers in this
country are looking forward to much
higher prices, especially as this years
home crop is from one-half to three
quarters less than what is looked upon
as a full crop. In New York state
farmers are now getting from rs cents
to $l.25 a barrel for apples under the
trees. The standard apple for the
European market is the Baldwin. OF
the 12.437 barrels of this years crop
shipped since Aug. l the lowest price
netted to the American exporter is 50
per barrel, and the price has kept
nearer 81.

There is a great difference in the
quality Of celery. and this makes the
size a matter of comparatively little ac-
count. The giant varieties Of celery are
now superseded in favor Of dwarf kinds
that are crisp and nutty in flavor.
Something. however, depends on the
soil and method Of growing. \ moist
soil makes the celery grow much fuller
Of it's native juices than one which is
dry. The soil can hardly be too rich,
for the quicker the growth the betterit
Is, whatever the variety. Celery that is
any way stunted in growth becomes
stringy, and if il is checked by drought
Il will have comparatively little Of The

Divorce i'm Oklahoma.

The rush OF divorce seekers TO Okla
homa has begun again, says report
from that region. At the opening Of
this country the first legislature passed
a very liberal divorce law, and thou
sands of people from New York city and
other large cities Of the east, and even
from London. rushed to this territory,
and after "a threo-months' stay entered
suit for divorce from an Objectionable
husband or wife. The rich and the
poor alike availcd themselves of the lib
eral divorce provisions of our law TO
get a divorce, but congress two years
ago knocked the business in the head
10y passing a law making it necessary
for a residence of one year before a di-
vorce suit could be filed This law. from
all indications, was passed in the in
terest OF South Dakota, but the legisla-
ture Of South Dakota passed law maxi
ing it necessary to reside in the state
one year before suit for divorce could
be filed, hence the rush TO that state,
with its cold climate, has stopped, and
Oklahoma once more will be the divorce
Mecca. Lawyers who formerly resided
IN this territory have located in New
York city, and all are busily engaged
in sending people away where they can
obtain a divorce easily. These lawyers
have agents in all the large cities of
the United States, and in London and
Paris. At one time during the divorce
rush preceding the law passed by con-
gress making a years residence neces-
sary before divorce suit could be fled
there were nearly 1000 foreign divorces
in the territory, and the same may oc-
cur again.

THE FARM MANURES.
Made, Except When the Ground
IL Soft I'm Spring.

Farm manures is more popular sub
ject in the west than it was even as late
as ten years ago. Over the larger por-
tion of the west, we have concluded that
there is not much business wisdom in
burning straw stacks or regarding the
manure pile as nuisance. The manure
IS part Of the return from keeping
and feeding domestic animals; Just as
clearly a part as the carcass is. and
throwing away the meat, milk or wool
of the animal would be just as sensible
as throwing away the manure. In an
elaborate article before us the state
ment IS made that Experiments indi-
cate that manure should be collected
in pits having impervious walls and
bottom If a farmer should construct
a pit like that, he would be a fit sub
jet for lunatic asylum. If anybody
desires TO hoard manure, to keep it
in sight and incidence. he had better
have a covered barnyard. But the land
is the place for the manure. and there
IS where it should go just as fast as it
is made and il is convenient TO haul il
out. The farmer who viii persist I'm
permitting his manure TO burn out or
leach out i'm the barnyard, might not be
more unwise if he built a water tight
pit, or adopted some other expensive
contrivance to preserve the fertilizing
elements, and forking the manure into
the pit, and especially forking it ont,
might be considered deserved punish
ment. But the best advice TO be given
such a farmer, is this: Haul ont your
manure as it is made, except when the
ground Is soft in the spring, or other
conditions make it impracticable.-Ag-
ricultural Epitomst.

When the conditions will admit Au.
gust is one Of the best months in which
10 set out strawberry plants. If a
good, vigorous growth can be secured
at this time fair crop Of fruit may be
secured next spring. As with all crops
the soil should be prepared N good
filth and care taken in setting out the
plants in order that good growth may
be secured. On this account il rarely
pays to attempt 10 grow the plants if
the soil is very dry, as there is not n
sufficient supply Of moisture. Then il
the soil is dry, more work is necessary
to secure a fine filth. But with the soil
in good tlth and sufficient moisture
in the soil to induce a good growth, set

him. First he went through the pockets
of an overcoat; then through those Of
three other coats, four vests and three
pairs of trousers. In addition to these
Smelling defed the heat through the
thickness Of three flannel shirts. The
search occupied over an hour, Heddle-
sons hands going into 62 pockets,
which yielded three loaves of bread,
scraps of meat, one pound of coffee,
complete toilet set, of brush, comb and
tooth brush, but no soap; apples, black
berries, and a knife which its owner
claimed to use as a razor. Despite the
tremendous amount of clothing he
wore, Smelling claims that in summer
he is always cool and in winter always
warm. lie never undresses at night,
