Heartrending Conditions Caused by the Re
cent Floods In China.
Washington, March 26-Citizens of
the United States residing in Che Fee,
China, have made an earnest appeal,
through consul Fowler at Che Foo, to
the charitable in America and else
where on behalf of the sufferers from
the appalling Yellow river floods of this
year. These floods have been described
by the natives as "China's sorrow
and the petitioners state that never be-
fore was the distress so great and
heartrending as now The most CON
servatiye estimates place the number
OF starving at two million, and time
and the increasing cold weather will
undoubtedly augment the distress The
petitioners say that they are daily, al
most hourly, in receipt of reports from
their countrymen in the interior depict
ing the condition of the famine refu-
gees; hundreds of the villager are SUBJ
merged, cities surrounded by water;
homes, furniture, elothing-in fact,
everything is under water or DESTROYED;
the natives themselves are living in
straw huts; many have absolutely no
shelter from the winters cold and
snow; subsisting on bark, Eillow
twigs, roots, etc The summers crops
have been failure, the seed for next
springs sowing is gone, and there is
nothing for the starving millions to
hope for in the future.

Thinning Fruit.

The practicability Of thinning fruit
and it's feasibility from commercial
standpoint have been pretty we'll dem
onstrated in the last few years. Mr..
John Craig reports, in the publications
of the (Canadiam Central Experiment
al Farm, some results In thinning
peaches and plums which cOrroborate
the notes given from others. He con-
cludes that, when a large crop Of fruit
Is set, thinning peaches Is highly re-
munerative for the following reasons:
1. 1t increases the weight of the yield.
2. 1t largely increases the size of the
fruit g. 1t reduces the number of ma
tured seeds, thereby considerably les
SEEMING the drain on the vitality Of the
tree. 4. 1t renders the crop less liable
to rot Thinning plums likewise proved
altogether worth while.

Field Peas for Orcha rds.

There Is natural adaptability Of the
orchard for peas aside from the fact
that the pea roots increase nitrogen in
and therefore the blowing Is done when
it does not injure the tree roots. Then
the broad leaves of the pea shade the
soil and apparently absorb enough mois-
ture at night to keep the plant fresh
and growing. Then after the peas are
harvested the hogs can be turned in to
eat what have been scattered in har-
vesting. If the hogs are left without
rings in their noses they will root over
the surface soil and thus cover what ex-
crement they have dropped. This with
continued extra feeding in the orchard
is the best way to enrich it.

When the light cannot be admitted

Good Wool.

Wool is affected by breed, climate
and food. Sheep will thrive in some
sections better than in others, and wool
from some flocks will bring higher
prices than other woods. To produce
good wool the sheep must be well fed,
but not too much so. If the food is not
sufficiently nutritious the wool will lack
in strength. be dry, harsh. fiabby and
rough to the touch. Wool from sheep
that are kept on pastures which pro-
vide abundant heritage is long in fiber,
soft, white and strong. 1t is claimed
that all foods which promote perspira-
necessary to make selection of foods

Stopped the Paper.

"Once upon time" says the Houtz-
dale pa Journal, "a man got mad at
the editor and stopped the paper. In a
few weeks he sold his corn at 4 cents
less than the market price. Then his
property was sold for taxes because he
didn't read the Sheriff's sale. He paid
$40 for a lot of forged notes that had
been advertised two weeks and the
public warned against them. He then
rushed to the printing office and paid
several years subscription in advance
and had the editor sign an agreement
he was to knock him down If he order.
ed his paper to be stopped again."

Feeding for Fg.s in Winter.

Many writer's advise that farmers
should force their hens to lay in winter
by heavy feeding, as eggs are high in
price in cold weather 1t is not so easy
to force hens to lay as may be sup
posed. Hundreds of hens that are well
fed in winter do not lay. The fact is
that the food is but factor in the
matter. 1t is not natural for birds to
lay in winter, and to induce hens to lay
at that season they must have spring
and summer conditions, such as warm
quarters. an opportunity to exercise
any food of a varied character, avoid.
ing grain In excess.

BEECHER ON ADVERTISING
DOCTORS.


II am glad that the doctor cured
him; | am glad that the doctor put it into
the paper that he could cure him. And if
any doctor is certain he can cure such
diseases and don't put it into the paper, |
am sorry. What pity it would have
been had this doctor come to town with
his wealth of science and experience and
gone away leaving him uncured! What a
pity il would have been if he had been so
prcjudiccd against advertising as to read
the responsible certificates of the doctor
and gave him the go-by as a quack! What
are newspapers for, il not to circulate in
formation? What more valuable informa-
ton can newspaper give than to tell
sick man where he can be cured? fla
man has devoted his life and labor to the
study of a special class of diseases, the
necessity of his saying so becomes all the
more pressing. His duty to advertise be-
comes imperious. A really able man,
whatever be his gifts, makes great mis-
take if he fails to use those gifts through
want of ADVERTISING"
The above extract from an article by the
Rev. Mr.. Beecher embodies sound view
of the subject of advertising. Suppose DIR.
Darrin. at 265 Morrison street, this city,
had come to the city and not advertised,
who would know of his presence? Who
would know of the following almost
miraculous cure he performed in 1872, had
not Mr.. Dibble put il in the paper?
Mr.. Editor: In 1872 my daughter was
taken with the mcmbraneous Group, and
upon her recovery was left totally deaf.
| called on two eminent physicians, who
said they could do nothing for her. As a
last resort, | took her to Dr. Darrn, who
cured her; and she has never been troubled
with deafness since. | consider it one of
the greatest cures of electrical treatment
on record and with great satisfaction give

Alameda county, Cal, and will take great
pleasure in answering any inquiries con-
corning this most remarkable cure. Yours

eve are working on a new line Of to-
bacco investigation" said Secretary
Wilson to correspondent, "ferments
in tobacco. But little is known scen-
tifcally about the curing Of tobacco.
| tried last year, when in Florida, to
find out from the Cubans why they
had certain processes in curing the
leaves. They had exact methods for
proceeding, and they knew what the
results would be- but they did not know
why they did 1t. 1t was because their
fathers had done it before them. This
matter Of ferments in tobacco is very
interesting question. We know that
fermentation in the silo reduces the
supply of nitrogen, and we know that
in cooking food composed largely Of
proteids, or heterogeneous matter, loss
Is sustained from a feeding point Of
view; but in tobacco curing we know
comparatively little; that is, whether
we want to retain or dispose of the nj
trOgen. The department has now two
agents at work upon this subject, one
noted German scientist, has been en-
gagged. and will proceed South on this
investigation"

Bring Fruit Trees Into Bearing.
Fruit trees Of any kind frequently
grow with great luXuriance. In this
they are usually unfruitful. No tree
commences to flower and fruit until its
vegetative eXuberance has been some
what checked. Those who understand
the art Of fruit culture thoroughly can
bring these hayward trees into a
stralghter line of duty by root-pruning
them. 1t Is effected by digging trench
around the tree and then filling it up
with the earth that has been thrown
out. This cutting off the ends Of the
roots causes check to the extreme vigOr,
and the result Is the production Of
flowers Instead Of branches. The dis
lance from the trunk that the trench
should be dug will. of course, depend
upon the age and size Of the tree, and
also Its ratio of luXuriance; the aim
should be to dig so as to cut off about
one-third of its roots. The pear, as
we'll as other fruit trees, is partcu-
larly benefited by root-prunlng. 1t can
be carried out at any time during the
fall or winter season. - Meehans
