WAGES IN ENGLAND.

In London above the age of 40 the
wages of general servants. cooks, nurses
and ladies' maids all drop; those of
parlor and house maids rise.
The housekeeper in the provinces
gets more, usually $500 year. In Scot
land wages are higher and in Ireland
much lower, ranging from $50 to SIS a
year.
The servants of Great Britain receive
far smaller wages than their fellows in
this country. The average of wages is
highest in London, but is lowered by
the number of young maidservants en-
ployed who are inefficient and cheap.
The average yearly wage paid Lon
don servant, CHASING all departments
of work together, is the surprisingly
small sum of $3.50, or S1.70 a week.

NEW BUTTER MARKET.
American Product Brings Five Cents
Pound More in Berlin Than
the Home Article.

A cablegram from Berlin announces
that the other day in Germany's capital
city American butter sold over all COM
petitors at an advance of 20 pfennig.
Or five cents of our money.
When we consider that Germany has
been the most persistent foe to Ameri-
can agricultural exports, going so far
even as to attack our apples and shut
them out of her markets, we may see
in this incident hopeful change. But
we may be sure of one thing-that but.
ter was sold on its merits and the con-
sumers paid five cents more per pound
for it than other buffers could be had.
not because it came from the United
States, but because it was gilt-edge in
quality, pleasing in flavor and bore the
stamp of honesty and purity.
This is only one incident, but it in
dicates great possibilities, not along the
line of oleomargarine and process but
ter, but in the future of the first-class,
pure article, such as American dairy
men know how to produce, can produce
in almost unlimited quantities and al
less cost than any other people in the
world. What occurred at Berlin viii

Europe if we but keep our standard
high. and insist that nothing but the
genuine article be permitted to leav'
our shores.-Farmers' Voice.

FASHIONS OF THE SEASON.

The new fringes this season are very
attractive. They vary in width from
one to twelve inches, and are made of
silk, beads or chenille, separately or
combined.
The nasturtium shades are beau
tifully copied this autumn season in
Lyons woven silk ve1vets and double
faced satin ribbons used in elegant mil
inery.
Thus far most of the new skirt mod
els, both for utility and demi-dress uses,
are absolutely untrimmed, unless the
rows OF silk Misunderstanding about
the hem can be called trimming.
Scotch tweeds are among the first
fabrics the statesmen show customers
who are looking for servieeable fall
dress goods. These stylish materials
are in varied qualities and new attrac-
tive color blendings, and they occupy
at present a prominent place on the
houses.
The popularity Of velvet for gowns,
combinations, underskirts and wraps
is already assured. This is welcome
news, for it is a material that is usu-
ally becoming. Manufacturers, follow
ing the general trend of producing fab
RIGS that are flexible and soft to the
touch, have reduced the weight of vel
vet goods almost one-half; therefore
the only serious objection to this tex
tile is now removed.

sHoRT-LIvED ORCHARDS
why Fruit Trees Weaken and Dr.
sooner i'm the Western STATES
Than in the East.

One thing that always strikes an east,
ern man on visiting the west or west
ern man visiting the east, is the great
difference in the size of the trees and
the age of the orchards. There are or
chards in the eastern states with trees
over century in age that are still bear
ing. A tree at 25 or 80 is looked upon
as just in its prime. In the west ten and
Is years of bearing is about the average
life of tree.
In size they do not grow so that any
thing but short foot ladder is required
in picking time. Most of the fruit can
be reached from the gorund or from
wagon. The trees early crack, become
dccayed in the trunk and the limbs split
off. A tree so years old is a curiosity.
There is cause for this which is evil
dent to any thoughtful observer. 1t is
the dry, hot winds and sun that play
havoc with our orchards. In the great
prairie country an orchard is wholly
unprotected from the heavy winds
which sweep unrestrained over the level
country. The prevailing wind during
the hot months is southerly. The limbs
with the shading leaves are blown so
that the hot sun shines directly on the
body of the tree, drying it until the bark
checks and peels loose from the wood.
Water collects in this crack at the next
and at every ensuing rain, and the death
of the tree has begun. Decayed and
weakened it cannot stand the strain OF
itsheavy top and some windstorm leaves
it wreck, useful only as firewood.
We cannot hope to remove the cause
Our only remedy is in perfection. 4
windbreak of some hardy trees that can
withstand both drought and wind along
the south side of an orchard is of III.
estimable value to the owner. The mar
who eontemplates putting out an or
cbard should also consider a wind
break.
There is one mistake that is made al
most universally in the west. This IS
setting trees out too thinly. As most
orchards are arranged, each tree is iso-
lated from its fellows and must stand
alone. Were they put in closer, SO close
in fact that the limbs will touch or even
interlock, it will take a cyclone to in
jure them. As the wind cannot get
chance at them, each tree is protected
from the hot rays of the sun by its foil
age; or even if lifted and blown to one
side the tree trunk viii be shaded by its
neighbor.
Even with the best of protection it is
doubtful if trees will reach an advanced
age in the west in comparison with the
east. But there is no doubt that from
ten to 20 years can be added to trees
usefulness by proper protection.-Ne'
