There was simultaneous decline in New
York Central and Pennsylvania, which
was in rather marked contrast to the later
strength of some of the so-called differen-
tial trunk lines. The first hour had not
expired before an active demand sprans
up for the Reading securities based on
the strong showing of the April statement
of earnings. A decrease in operating ex-
penses of the coal company and an in
crease in gross earnings by the railroad
company combined to produce an increase
IN net earnings for all the companies of
$1O7, $40.
In connection with the good report sub
mitted by New Jersey earlier in the week
and the May gross earnings of Ontario
and Western. the Coalers developed quite
buoyant tone and enjoyed substantial
gains all around Erie first preferrei

The failure of the market to show any
marked response to the bank statement
induced a fresh raid by the bears, which
carried Sugar down 10 145, an extreme
decline from yesterdays close of 9l6 points
The market yielded in sympathy, the spe-
cialties quite sharply, and the railroad only
slightly.
The market closed under pressure, but
with net gains remaining for most of the
railroad stocks. Sterling exchange made
an unusual show of strength for Satur-
day, with a rise of &c, due to the hard
ening money rate in London, and the de-

MI. Butterweck's Articles.

Otto G.. Butterweck of BrOOkville,
Fla. has been requested to prepare a
few short articles on fruit-grOWing,
gardening. stOck-raising and general
agriculture in the South for the Amer
lean AgriculturiSt of New York. AS
this journal has large circulation i'll
the Middle Western and Southern
States it is Il matter of interest to any
Florida community to be represented
in these articles.
The editor writes: eve do not eX
pect photographs with all of them, but
if sketches or pictures can be sent the
articles will be all the more accept
able"
Chief among the subjects is orange
culture as it is being evolved. Mr..
EutterWeck will be gratifed to receive
Of groves with and with

Suggestions to Florida Shippers.

This subject is old. Many papers
the members of the State Horticulture
al Society. Many shippers persist in
ignoring the advice SO plainly placed
before them by this society. Possibly
the reason the advice is rejected is be-
cause they were not present when the
papers were read and have neglected
to read the printed report issued
yearly: or they are not members Of
the society. One dollar invested for
the yearly fee entities you to the an
nual which, if carefully read. Will re
worth many times the money in

Orange growers cannot be too par
ticular in the care they give their
trees If the highest market price is
wanted, then bright and fancy fruit
must be produced. In certain locations
fruit is much brighter than in others.
The character of the soil must be
known. Then aid your trees by fer
tilizer that will assimilate with the
soil and give the trees the food that
will produce perfect fruit. Spray your
trees and fruit, to destroy fungus and
insects: YOU can then market bright.
fancy fruit, perfect in color, tissue and
flavor You should receive a fancy
price if. in addition to procuring the
choice fruit, YOU exercise great care
in picking. sorting, grading and pack
ing.
Oranges should remain from thirty
six to seventy-twO hours in the pack,
ing-house before being packed in box
eS. This will allow the shrinkage anG
evaporation that naturally takes
place In this period imperfect fruit
can be more easily detected and bruis-
es will show plainly. Then sort.
grade and size carefully. Wrap in
light-colored or white paper, pack
tightly in s nice, clean box; stencil
plainly the class and size on one end.
DO all this, and you have a pretty
straight road to fancy prices. Cali
fOrnia does this to perfection. and if
they had the quality of fruit raised in
Florida we should he forced out of the
markets.

long, thrown over the dump. Instead
of trying to see how many packages
can be shipped try and see how many
fancy packages can be culled from the
lot picked.
y year ago a shipper sent in quite a
large shipment of tomatoes. The
crates were handsome, and the few

forwarded to Chicago with advice that

Il few days advice was received from

ing course is both a missionary and
schoOlmaster, it is evident that the two
systems should be conjoined.'
The bulletin contains lists Of books
used in various reading courses, and in
an appendix representative documents
used in various States.

as the "Chautauqua Course of Home
Study in Agriculture. became "Cor-
respondence Courses in Agriculture"
Printed lessons on particular sub
farm bookkeeping, are sent to stu
dents. These lessons AIRED esigned to
bring thes ubject-matter of the books
up to date, to describe simple expert
men1S. to illustrate the subject. and to
suggest the important or Fundamental
matters. The lessons are sent to the
reader one at a time. Accompanying
each lesson is a list of questions to be
answered. The replies are sent to the
superintendent Of ther eading course
at the State College, and another les,
son is then mailed to the reader. In
this way the superintendent keeps iii
touch with the student. He can also
exercise some control over the student
by Withholding lessons when the Ques.
tons are not faithfully answered.
The Pennsylvania correspondence
courses are five in number: Crop pro-
duction; live stock productions; horti-
culture AMI Horticulture: darEin%:
and domestic economy. Each course
consists of seven distinct subjects o.
books. making thirty-fve books in all.
The reading courses of several
States are conducted on similar lines
to those in Pennsylvania.
The Cornell or New York plan is to
give the farmer a short, specially pre-
pared lesson. and then to quiz him on
it. The motive is to reach the many.
not the few. The farmer who can
and will read books can take care OF
himself. but the one who can not or
will not needs help, whether he wants
it or not The idea is to get the rank
and file to read books by first interest
inc them in simple, short and easily di-
gested matter. When the farmer is
once interested it needs only good adj
ministrative machinery to keep him
interested and to lead him on.
The operation of the Cornell plan az
now prosecuted comprises: Securing
the farmers name; sending him Il les
son with separate paper containing
questions Called quiZ) the active
organization of reading clubs; and the
sending of special inspectors and lee
t..ItrS to these clubs.
Two distinct ideas are represented
II the reading courses %lt'ined IN re
bulletin. The older or Chautauqua>
Pennsylvania idea is that Of q definite,
prescribed. self-limited technical cor
respondence curriculum. the compile
ton of which is signaliZed by GER
titicate or diploma. The other or Cor
nell idea is that Of flexible, nonlimit-
ed. untechnical reading course IN
which there is no system OF counts
and which does not lead to certitica-
tory honors. The bulletin says: "The
former is intensive; it is adapted to
the few. The latter is elementary; it
is adapted to the many. Each is in
complete.
..The ideal reading-cOurSe system is
that which joins the two ideas. Its
