IMMENSE CROP REPORTED
In Roanoke County, Commissioner
of Agriculture K0iner Ar0using
Interest Among the Farmers and
Fruit Growers.

Tke Department of Agriculture is
deeply impressed with the possibilities
of apple raising in Virginia. 1t is be.
lieved that there is no industry which
can be undertaken in the State with
assurance of better or safer returns
Commissioner Koiner spent Monday
In the great fruit belt of Virginia, or
rather that portion of it in Roanoke
county, known as the Back Creek
country. The Commissioner brought
back specimens of as fine apples as one
ever sees, and says that the varieties
represented-Albemarle pippins, the
Y ork imperial, Ben Davis, winesap
and cannon-grow better in the soil of
the Virginia belt than anywhere else
in the world.
He visited the Diamond Orchard
Company's orchard, which is situated
near Salem. This orchard, containing
5000 trees. is the largest in the United
States east of the Alleghanies, and in

are not more deadly than the millions of
disease germs that are floating in the air
we breathe and in the water we drink
germs of typhoid fever, malaria, con-
sumption. Compared to disease germ,
rattlesnake is a gentleman He is a
fair fighter. He tells you to look out.
He rattles before he strikes You have
chance to fight or run. The disease
germ sneaks in. 1t comes while you are
sleeping. 1t gains an entrance to the
blood. 1t propagates there. 1t multi
plies. In a few hours, or days, your
blood is full of its children-millions of
them. They go all over your body seek
ing weak spot. They don't rattle
they strike. You feel hstless, nerveless,
sluggish, feverish, and maybe you're flat
on your back before you really know
there is anything the matter.
The only way to keep out disease
germs-to keep from being sick-is to
keep your blood pure and rich, and your
liver active and healthy.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
the greatest tonic in the world, will do it.
Charles II. Sergeant, of Plain City, Madison
Co, Ohio, writes: During the summer and fall
of 1896 became all rundown nerves were out
OF order and stomach out of order. wrote to
DR.. Pierce for advice. He said had general
debility, and advised DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery. Since stopped taking it about
one year ago have not taken any medicine of
any kind, and have been able to work every day.
My appetite is good, can eat three square meals
a day and do not feel that miserable burning
in the stomach after eating. NY blood aud
nerves are in good shape."

Humble Beginnings.

The first Vanderbilt ran a barge.
John u. Rockefeller, as lie followed
plow in his boyhood days, had one
ambition and that was to join a circus.
Later in life he got $50 month as a
clerk. To-day he makes more money
in minute than he earned in a whole
year.
Fifty years ago Andrew Carnegie
was working for 81 cents day as a
bobbin boy in MILL Then he got
three dollars week as a telegraph boy
in Pittsburg, and thought he was roll
ing in luxury. To day he counts his
wealth by millioos.
Everybody knows the story of Jay
Gould and his mousetrap, which he in
vented while he was a clerk in coun-
try store. The profits from this and
from lucky purchased land laid the
foundation of the fortune of $50, 000, 900
be left. B
John Jacob Astor, the founder of
the Astor family. had some cheap
instruments sent him from
abroad and he sold them at very good
profit. With the 81 ,OC0 he bought
plot of ground on the Bowery, and it
increased in value until to day it repre-
,ents millions of dollars.

A man talks about owning his bust
ness. But, as matter of fact his bus
iness owns him. His whole life is reg
ulated by the demands of the business.
The time at which he rises, his break
fast hour, the time given to meals, are
all determined Ivy business obligations.
He rushes through lunch because he
can't spare the time from business to
eat leisurely. He won't take rest be-
cause he is needed at the store or
Office. He is in fact an absolute slave
to business. The results which follow
this slavery are to be seen on every
hand. Men dyspeptic, irritable, nerv-
Gus, with drawn faces, and hollow eyes
sit at the desk or stand behind the
counter until they collapse in fit of
sickness, or are taken away by heart
failure. Those who cannot escape the
exactions of business will find friend
in DIR. Pierces' Golden Medical Dis
covery. It strengthens the stomach,
increases the action of the blood max
ing glands, increasing the vitality and
physical vigor. 1t makes men strong
and prevents those business break
downs which so often terminate ia
tally.

LIVE STOCK QUARANTINE.
Restrictions in Virginia Will be Suspend
ed Until January.

DR.. E. P. Niles has just returned
from Chicago, ILL.,, where he attended
d meeting of the Interstate Association
of Live Stock Sanitary Boards as q
representative of the Virginia Board
of Control. The Association had un-
der consideration live stock quarantine
matters. and the Federal rules and
regulations are made to conform to a
large extent to the recommendation Of
this association.
DIR. d. E. Salmon, Chief of the Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry, was present
at the meeting and concuTred in the
following resolution adopted by the
association: Resolved, That the AS
ISOLATION recommend the withdrawal
of the quarantine regulations apply
ing to cattle onaceount of Texas fever
Infection from November first to Jalu
ary first, provided that all cattle from
below the quarantine line destined for
feeding in the states of Missouri,
Kansas and Texas and the Territories
of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mex
leo, be inspected ard only allowed to
proceed in case they are found free
from ticks, and provided further that
all infected cattle in transit through
the States and Territories mentioned
be treated as infected cattle during
The quarantine season."
It will be noticed from the above
resolution that cattle can be transport
ed from below the quarantine line du-
ring the months of November to De-
;ember to any point East of the Mis-
'issippi without restriction, and that
;he quarantine rules and regulations
will again go into effect On January 1st,
900. Parties desiring to purchase /
tock cattle below the quarantine line |
hould bear these dates well in mind.

bic extent. The insects made their ap-
pearance year or two ago. and have
become more numerous. The farm
ers. he said, did not know how to de-
strOy the pest. Spraying would, in a
short time, rid the orchards of the tiny
depredators. In this connection Mr..
Koiner deplored the fact that funds
are not available for the publication
of bulletins, which would be Of the
greatest value to the farming element
of the State.

A Crop Tnat PAYS.

The yield of Albemarle pippins and
winesaps in Albemarle this season are
highly satisfactory. These apples are
considered the finest grown in Vir-
glnia for export and command hie
prices in London-the former $40 a
barrel. In the Glen Cove orchard,
owned by the estate of DR.. Boaz, are
$4,000 trees, mostly pip. ins. The crop
this year of 5000 barrels was sold for
$4,000. Near by is the Eden Grove
orchard, in which are growing $500
winesap trees Is varietiesl, 1000 York
imperial, or johnson winter, 1000 AL
bemarle pippins, 400 Ben Davis trees.
The owner of this orchard recently re-
fused an offer of 500 for the crop.
These are considered among the finest
in Albemarle and are near Covesville,
Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1899-11-03
years will yield an average of 1000

bushels every year.
The orchard of Mr. M. G. McClung,
the Ferguson orchard, Howe's Or
chard and Wertz's orchard were also
visited by the commissioner. On Mr..
Wertz's place. tree, probably fifty
years old, was pointed out to Mr..
Koiner, who was told that it had real
lied at least 81 900 to the owner. Last
year Y bushels of apples were picked
from this tret and sold for 81 per
bushel.
One apple orchard in Roanoke coun-
ty last year netted the owner $1,000.
This year the crop is held at $4,000 to
5000.
The peculiarly fine flavor of the ap-
pies grown in this section of Virginia
is recognized abroad. Agents who
come from New York, st. Louis and
other markets say it is the finest fruit
of the kind in the United States. Even
North Carolina, an adjoining COM
peting STATE, admits the superior
adaptability of Virginia soil for apple
raising. An agent representa- a
North Carolina syndicate ls.now nego-
tiating with Roanoke county men for
the purchase of 700 acres of land,
which they propose to devote to apple
raising.
Mr.. KOiner regards it as a remarka
bly, fine field for agricultural invest
ment. The land sells for from $40 to
500 an acre. Not one acre in two hun
dred, he says. is in orchards.
The commissioner found that the re-
suits obtained as above indicated were
under very poor system of care on
the part of the farmers, as q rule. They
were in ignorance of how best to cult
vate their orchards.
He noticed, too, that insects are de-
yastating the crop to a very apprecia-
