An Emporium Girl Becomes a Voter.
WICHITA, Kan, April 13, 1899.

To the Editor Of the Press,
DEAR SIR:-In response to your re-
quest, | will endeavor and be pleased
to tell you little something about my
experience as voter away out here in
Kansas. 1t was a real novel treat to
me.
For months previous to the election,
all you could hear was, shave you
registered yet; and whom are you
going to vote for?' 1t was very anus
ing, and especially SO to hear the ladies
lauding up their different candidates.
The ladies are ali called for and if
they SO desire are driven to the polls;
both sexes voting at the same place.
You are asked your name and the ward
you live in and if the same is found on
the books you are given your ticket,
then you enter booth and as the
"Lord's of Creation" do, you have the
same privilege to affix your little X
after any name you choose. 1t is all
done very quietly, modestly and
quickly; in no way injurious or de-
grading to the honor or dignity of a
true lady, as the best ladies of the city
voted. | must say | thoroughly en-
joyed it (only when it came to the
registering, then you must tell your
dge-not how many summers and was
anxious to learn the results. | was
elated when I heard the Republican
mayor was elected-he was the i'm
portant candidate to vote for. Ladies
here are only privileged to vote for
municipal officers.
! am sure all the ladies and girls in
Emporium would enjoy the sport of
voting 1t would be no trouble then,
Mr. Mullin, to get elected. | know all
the ladies would give YOU vote.
All the gentlemen are very liberal
and courteous, when it nears election
time, as they want the ladies' votes and
not all of them vote as their husbands
and sweethearts dictate. In all, /
would not have missed voting for any
thing; it is very good fun and interest
ing, making one feel the Importance of
American citizenship. Whether or not
it will prove a benefit to the female
portion of the word, remains to be
seen. 1t sufTices now, if nothing more,
for the fun and privilege of being up
with the men. You must try and give
us little of this fun in Pennsylvania,
Mr. Mullin.

PERMANENT LABELS.
A Matter of Some Importance te
H0rticulturists Who Want to
Keep Names of Plants.

The little wooden labels which are
used to mark the trees and plants sent
out from the nursery are not durable.
They are light affairs and generally are
fastened on with q piece of iron wire
which soon rusts off. If it does not rust
and break the limb will often grow
around it, and may become so injured
as to break off. The name is written
on with common lead pencil and the
weather of one year will wear it of, and
thus the name is lost.
If it is desired to keep the name of
the plant on a label attached to it it
may be done in this way: Get heavy
six or eight-inch label and rub it over
with white lead thinned with the least
bit of oil. Then with soft pencil, and
before the lead is dry, write on the
name and anything else you may wish.
This will last for several years.
Now procure some No. IA or No. IS
copper wire and cut it in pieces q foot
or more long. Make loop on each end,
give the middle twist around the label
and hang it around small branch,
hooking the loops together and pinch
ing them up tight. Such label fas-
tened in this manner will last for years.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Soil and location will change the APP
pearance Of fruit and also the quality.
The head of the tree should always be
cut back to correspond with the roots.
Mixed husbandry in gardening and
fruit growing is necessary to the best
success.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet
ter to have one strong branch than two
or three weak ones.
Whenever water is given to house
plants enough should be given to wet
the soil thoroughly.
A few apple and peach trees should be
planted every year in order to keep up a
good supply Oh the farm.
Sod is protection to an orchard in
winter. 1t is an exceptional case when
it is best to pillow in the fall.
The English walnut is said to be the
most profitable of all nut-bearing trees.
When in full bearing they will yield
about 300 pounds of nuts to the tree.
The nut sells on an average at about
eight cents per pound. If only 81 trees
are planted on an acre the income would
be about $675.-St. Louis Republic.

STORAGE OF APPLES.
Mounding up and Covering with
Earth, This Writer Says, IL the
Most Satlsfactory Method.

Now that there is a generous crop OF
apples in some localities this year, the
general query arises how to winter
them in the best manner. We have
found no way that answers the require
ments of the majority of farmers 90
well as to mound them up and cover
with earth. By this method the apple
retains or rather secures flavor far
superior to that of apples kept in the
cellar. It is therefore quite desirable
to bury them up with earth, only re-
moving them to the cellar as they are
required for use.
The proper method Of moundfng in
winter apples is better explained in the
illustration. A box five feet long is

Good ana Interior cider.

Cider made from windfalls and green
apples, which contain a much less pro-
portion Of sugar than ripe apples, is
consequently the poorest, being sour
and iwatery. Where the apples are
green but well matured the quality Of
the cider made from them will be found
vastly improved by the simple process
of throwing them in small piles in the
orchard and allowing them to ripen.
When first-class cider is desired it is
necessary to select the fruit. If you
have been in the habit of throwing in
half-matured. partially rotten and all
sorts of fruit. try by way of experiment
a press full Of well-matured, solid APP
pies, free from dirt. Filter through a
clean muslin cloth, and the result will
be surprise.

tilating Box or Shaft)
nailed up from two by six-inch boards
and perforated as shown in illustra-
ton with holes to permit escape of
gases and foul air. A small watershed
is erected at top, leaving vents in gables
for ventilation. This box is erected and
apples mounded upon straw around it
until foot from the top. The mound
Of fruit is then incased around with
old boards and covered with heavy
coating of straw and several inches of
earth.
This is sufficient until freezing
weather, when another coating of straw
and earth should be placed upon the
mound.
This may be done after the weather
is quite cold and frozen by throwing a
litter of straw around the heap base,
in order that the earth may not be
frozen and be accessible for covering.
After the last covering is in place a
load or two Of coarse manure may be
scattered over the mound. By this
method the farmer may have apples in
cold storage until late spring and also
have them secure from frost in the cold
est weather.
The board covering is very necessary
in order that the apples may not be-
come compacted and mashed from the
weight of covering, and the pile also is
much easier to use from than mound
not protected by boards, thus caving in
as the fruit is used out.
Many, however, who have cellars pre-
fer to store in them, as it is somewhat
more convenient, even though the
flavor and crispness be not so we'll re-
tanned.
Very convenient crates may be made
for this purpose by saving plastering
lath in two equally and mailing them
up with ends prepared from inch
boards 101ax12 inches in dimension.
These boxes win hold bushel each, are
cheaply made and can be stacked into
rows or upon temporary shelves in the
cellar, where they may be easily ac-
cessible to use from, in regard to vari-
ETY., keeping, quality, etc.
These crates are very superior to
storing in barrels or bins, as no large
quantity can be crushed together, nee
essarily making it inconvenient to sort
or discard decayed ruit.-George w.
Brown, in Ohio Farmer.

BACKWARDS INTO THE CREEK.
Nathe Sauls, sitting on a log and wiping
the blood and powder stains from his
nose and face. His old f1intlock mus
ket, that had been a legacy from his
grandfather, who used it chasing the
redcoats during the war of 1912, was
resting against a tree, and I felt that
1t had been the prime cause of Nathe's
disreputable appearance.
But before suggesting such con-
lecture 1 knew that I had to feel my
way, as Nathe was very touchy on the
subject of his gun, which he loves as
fondly as loyal knight ever adored
his lady fair. So stopped my horse,
and, clearing my throat to attract his at

GROW PRIME FRUIT.
rAess wAs Ne Il a.A Get Acquainted

10 Make lloney.

Every grower of fine fruit should aim
to get acquainted in . business way
with his customers. I have friend
who grows superb berries, and in every
box he puts q ticket giving his name
and the variety of fruit, and in the
largest type he says: "Price always
five cents above the market price, -
With berries selling at eight or ten
cents ordinarily he gets five cents more,
and that means big profit. Can he
sell them? Certainly. He sells more
than any other grower in the county,
and gets his price. Then, too, his ber-
ries are SO fine and large he gets them
picked for one-half cent less a quart
than others, and he makes it. paw both
ways.
In the fruit growing of the future
there must be cutting down of the
acreage of the majority of the growers.
They must grow larger and better
fruit. of greater beauty and higher
quality, and the grower who gets the
closest in touch with the consumer will
get the highest price. Another thing
will be the production on tremendous
scale by few growers, by companies,
with certain lines of fruits in certain
localities suited to them. The small
growers might do better by coopera-
ton, perhaps, as to methods of pack
ing and selling and transportation, and
it will bring more money to pay some
specialist to place your products on the
market in more desirable shape.
I have not said anything of the home
supply. It is one of the most impor-
tant' things of all. Every farm home
should have the greatest possible va
riety of fruit. You do not take interest
enough to do this now, perhaps, but
think it over, and you will see how i'm
portant it is. Plant your grounds with
beautiful trees and make home sur
roundings beautiful, your lawn attract
i've with beautiful flowers and the in
side of your homes attractive as well.
There is nothing better than this.-J.

How to Care for Apples.

An apple, says DR.. Hoskins, should
never at any time, while being handled
and being stored, become cooler than
the surrounding atmosphere. Ifitdoes
not it will never sweat, for this sweat is
simply atmospheric moisture precipi-
tated upon the cold apple precisely as
it is precipitated upon the outside of a
pitcher of water in summer. An apple
cannot be made to sweat in any true
sense. The skin of all sound, smooth
apples is nearly as air and water tight
as India rubber.

gether over the top. Winds cannot
now blow the plant over nor SHOWS
crush it down. A similar result can be
obtained by driving stake down be-
side the shrub before putting on the
hay and burlap, allowing the stake to
project up through the covering. This
stake holds the wind in check and also
holds up the covering SO that the snow
that falls upon it will not exert a crush
ing weight.-N. Y. Tribune.
