LONDON, March 30. anna Bloemfon-
tein dispatch. dated Wednesday. says:
President Kruger boasts his intention to
retake Bloemfontein within a week. and 1t
appears probable that the Beers are ad-
vancing in force southwark.
Other dispatches state that the Beers are
concentrating in force about fifteen miles
north of Bloemfontein, in the rear of Glen,
and Lord Roberts is sending forward troops
to engage them. The 7th Infantry Division
and part Of Gen. Frenchs cavalry have
been sent up to join the 14th Brigade and
the two cavalry regiments that are holding
Glen and its environs.
It does not seem probable, however, that
the Beers will give serious battle in the
fairly open country north Of Glen. Still.
their evident strength indicates more than
corps Of observation.
In small affairs the Beers are daringly
aggressive in all parts OF the field OF war.
The Johannesburg mounted police, es-
teemed by the Beers to be their best

How Not to Rack Apples.
BENJAMIN Newhall Of Chicago. in an
address to Illinois horticulturists.
said:
An art simple as piling cord wood
apparently, but really as difficult as
any art. To a ma applying for a po-
sition as an apple packer for US. l
usually ask the question a You an
expert packer" and the reply usually
is, yes indeed / was brought up on .
farm aud have raised fruit all my
fife" Somehow I always feel discour-
aged when I hear this reply. The next
question, state Just what experience
you have had" usually brings u the
fact, that the farm was not really a
fruit farm, though a few old apple
trees might have been in evidence.
This is usually enough as far as ex-
perience goes, but l sometimes try
still farther and ask the expert" to
write a few samples Of some of the
directions and will offer one o. two
herewith.
!. take the bari and put nothin but
good stock in and leave your twos n
elders out. Put the press onto her
good and hard and mark the bari on
The head"
Imagine an inexperienced man try
ing to pack with these directions lie
would probably put the head onto
her. so good and hard" that the
cider would fly in all directions.
Another by a young man just from
an eastern college and who also knew
it all. is somewhat different In style'
but not much better in substance.
Select a convenient spot In the
meadow for the packing operation ana
get all your utensils at convenient
distances from your men; select your
specimens of fruit with scrupulous
care and see that not one specimen
which is not extra fancy in quality IS
allowed access into the package; take
only the finest varieties in the mead
ow, leaving more common ones 1or
the farm animals and for mincemeat.
II you follow these instructions I'M
plicitly you will have no trouble IN
selling all you pack" This last state,
ment is probably true, and we woula
have ro trouble in selling all We
packed, but we can imagine trouble IN
other directions and SO can you.
We have many other samples, some
Of which are even more ridiculous, II
these two, I think, will answer my
purpose. They show that neither Nv
ing on a farm nor going to college
makes an apple packer. Experience
and common sense are the best teach
ers, but unless the experience has
been in tie right direction and the
| COMMON sense is aided by study and
experience, even these are not suffi-
cient.
l take it that no n in his COM
/ pany needs to be told how to pack ap-
pies. Possibly there might be a dil-
ference Of epiniGn ia some minor &C.
tails. but the mails points, good c9sp-
erage, careful facing, h0nect packing,
thorough shaking. with the greatest
care of all in the leveling of ready
for the press, we would probably all
agree on.

Grain Food Of Hogs.

A certain amount of grain feed Is
needed to grow hogs with the greatest
profit, ard still mor is needed to fat
ten and ft them for market, but it
should be used only to supplement the
feeds which the hogs harvest for them
selves in the field. Pork can not be
made economically when all, or even
a larger proportion, Of the feed comes
from the crib or the mill. The hog is
an omnivorous animal and needs
.roughage" and fresh green feed for
his best health and growth and to pro-
duce meat of the best quality. When
young his grain feed should be such
as will furnish material for bone and
muscle, and not such as will produce
an excess OF fat; while, Is the animal
approaches maturity, fat-producing
foods should be given more literally.
No one kind Of grain feed can be used
economically from weaving until the
fuli-grown animal IS slaughtered, and
there should be a gradual change from
the heterogeneous, matchmaking food
given to the pig to the carbenaceous.
fat-making food, which is more profit
able for the last few weeks before
killing. The young animal must have
good bone and muscle before it can
carry the heavy load of fat desirable
for the butcher or develop the
strength, vigor, and health necessary
in a good breeding animals. u.

Commercial.
The NEST versatile chap l eve:

vate who was on duty in Manila. His
name was Sawtell. There seemed to
be nothing on earth that he couldn't do
or hadn't done at some time.
"One day it happened that an officer
in the garrison wanted his hair cut,
/ and the regular company barber was
| not to be found-out on furlough, O
something. Sawteil volunteered to do
the job.
Why were you ever a barber?'
| asked the officer.
"'Yes, I was a barber for three
years. said Sawtell.
"A few Gays later the same officer
tcok a notion that he wanted a GER
tain dish prepared. He and the rest
of us were tired of dead hen.' as the
ubiquitous chicken is disdainfully
called in the Philippines.

asked.
".Yes, sir: two years experience.

And that dish was a wonder. Three
days later the %colonel's horse threw a
shoe. The colonel wanted it replaced
at once.

"He did it we'll. as he did everything.
By this time the officers had begun to
look upon Sawtell Is a phenomenon:
therefore, when our captain developed
a bad tocthache, he sent for him.
did you ever pull a tooth?' he
asked.
"'Ok, yes said Sawtell, saluting. I
studied dentistry W years.
And he pulled the tooth.
Finally time a hanging some

of the men suggested a concert of some
kind. We went to Sawtell in a body to

LAS a result of his manifold eco
plishments, Sawtell was easily the
NEST popular man in garrison. When
eve anything went wrong somebody
said, Send for Sawtell.' and Sawtell
always fixed it. Therefore. the colonel
one day was deeply annoyed to receive
a warrant from Frisco for Sawtell's
apprehension. accompanied by a letter
stating that he was wanted in Nevada
for some crime, l forgot what. The
colonel called Sawtell before him.
"'Sawtell, | have received 2 warrant

"'Yes, SIR and Sawtell saluted.

colonel, particularly as you will have
