CheirO Remains But Few Days Longer
Karl Won Roth-Hamong, the dis.
tinguished palmist and author, will re-
main few more days in Ell Paso. He
has been unable to attend to all who
called on him this week and on that
account has decided to remain until
the middle of next week. Mr.. Won
Roth, who is here in search of health,
is New York's favorite Palmist and
Clairvoyant and is not to be confound-
ed with the average run OF so-called.
"fortune-tellers" that visit every city at
times. He is an author of no mean
ability and all interested in his work
should not fail to avail themselves of
the opportunity. He requests those
who intend to see him to do so at once
and not to wait until the last moment.
His office is at the Hotel Orndorff.

GOOD SELLING APPLES
They Must Ne OF Good Siss, Of Fair
Appearance and OF the Very
Best Quality.

Under average conditions, when
grown especially for market, winter ap-
ples pay the best profit But, us with
all other farm products, II the best
prices are realized they must be what
the market demands. With fruits OF
all kinds II is useless TO plant trees
unless they are vigorous, hardy and
productive. The fruit must keep well
as we'll as sell well to consumers. The
fruit must be Of q good size, of fair
appearance and Of good quality. Good
sized, smooth, nice red apples sell bet
ter than any other kind Size and
color are the two most important items.
Good keeping qualities and good quail
ty Of fruit come second. A nice red
apple of good size even Of poor quality
sells better than apples Of a better
quality but not nice looking.
In selecting varieties for CONNER
cial orchard this fact should always be
kept in mind, as the growing Of m or
chard to maturity requires too long o
time and costs too much to make mis-
takes. So with many other products. 1t
costs no more to grow something the
market will pay the most for than It
does to grow O lower grade.-N. J.

WORLDS GREATEST RUDDER.
Philadelphia Holds tho Record Tor
Mammoth One-Pieco Steer
ing Gears.

One of the largest rudders that have
ever been cast in the world has been fin
ished by the Pennsylvania Steel Cost
ing company. Of Chester, for the Amer.
ican line steamship Rhynland, now on
Cramps drydock undergoing repairs.
The rudder, which was cast in solid
piece, weighed over $4,000 pounds. and
the stern post, which was made at the
same place. weighed 5000 pounds. Here
tofore rudders have been made in two
pieces and afterward riveted into a
solid piece: but the Chester company
cast without difficulty the rudder In
one solid mass, which experts claim
make more effective this necessary part
OF the vessel
The art Of casting the rudder, says
the Philadelphia Record, is trade &C.
cret which not even the British or Ger
man steel makers have yet been able
to discover. Rudders for foreign-built
vessels are now being shipped from
Chester to Europe.
John Haug, the surveyor at this port
to Lloyds' register Of shipping. stated
that no European workers OF steel
could have made q rudder the size Of
the Rhynland's in one solid piece. He
also stated that larger rudder could
have been made II it had been necessary,

Tomatoes on Potatoes.

We think that experiment showed
some years ago that by bringing q
growing tomato plant in Q pot close
enough to a potato vine TO allow part
Of each to be cut away, both might be
made to grow together. But 1t was
regarded as fanciful waste OF time,
and that the success could never be
repeated to be of practical impor-
tance. That il yet our opinion, not
withstanding the United States expert
ment station has been repeating the
experiment, and has issued bulletin
on the subject. A crop Of potatoes be-
low and of tomatoes above ground is
now the promise. But Of what good

rrGEr1NG TIE INSECTS.
Hsw to XIII Cutworms. w1Pew0rms,
Grasshoppers, Plant Mites and
% Other Pests.

When plants are attacked by insects
Il is not always advisable or effective
to apply poisons directly to the plants
infested. This is particularly in cases
where trouble Is experienced from cut
worms, wireworms and grasshoppers.
In such cases the use Of what is called
poisoned bait has proven very satisfac-
tory. In many fields mixture of bran.
molasses and arsenic is used to kill cut
worms Cutworms and wireworms can
also be baited by distributing poisoned
succuient vegetation such as freshly
cut clover, in small punches about in
tested fields. The bait should be dipped
in strong arsenical solution and pro-
tected from drying by coverings of
boards or shades. Such bait must be
renewed from time to time as it be-
comes dry. The agricultural depart
ment recommends the following: For
locusts take one part, by weight of
white arsenic Costing about ten cents
a pound), one part Of sugar and six
parts of bran, to Which add water to
make wet mash. Place tablespoon
full Of this ut the base of each tree or
vine. or apply line Of baits just ahead
Of the advancing army of insects, using
o tablespoonful of the mash every six
or eight feet and following up with
another line just behind and alternat-
ing with the first.
Flower of sulphur is one of the best
remedies for plant mites, such as the
red spider. Applied ut the rate of one
ounce to q gallon of water or mixed
with some other insectide such as kero-
sene emulsion. it is very effective
remedy. For the rust mite, sprinkling
the sulphur about under the tree Is
sometimes sufficient in moist climates
to keep the fruit bright~Journal OF
Agriculture.

PRACTICE SHOOTING.
Why the Majestic, OF the English
Navy, Is a Fnvorite Type

In practicing shooting, made to re

average Of 30 per cent. Of effective hits,
but no one expects this average to be

opinion of Sir William White and his
fighting chiefs ut the admiralty, not
30 much matter Of the number Of guns
as the excellence Of the shooting with

with six-inch duick-flre guns, using $50
pounds of shot and cordite every min.

difficulty TO keep more than certain
