THE YORK IMPERIAL APPLE.


land and Delaware. In Kansas it is
growing in popularity. y speaker be-
fore the last Kansas state horticultural
meeting said: 1.-The York imperial is
new to many of us because of its late
sudden popularity. 1t has been sent TO
Europe. holding its own with the Mis-
souri, pippin and others. 1t is large.
q good keeper and growers always
seem pleased with it. II seems to be
growing popular"
York Imperial is sometimes listed in
catalogues as Johnson's Fine Winter
and in its native county sometimes re-
ferred to as the Shep apple, shep be-
ing a word of the Pennsylvania Ger
man having reference to the oblique
shape of the fruit. The tree is a vigor-
Gus grower, with slender. dropping
branches, after the manner of Ben
Davis. 1t comes into bearing at four
years from planting and bears regular
ly and heavily. The foliage and fruit
are remarkably free from scab.
The fruit is of medium size, skin vel
low and almost wholly covered with
two shades of red, flesh yellow, juicy,
firm, subacid, season late winter. A
good shipper, bringing high prices.

CORN FODDER.
The Corn Shredder an Item on the
Programme of Progress.


Old habits are very hard to break up.
The farmer whose father always pull
ed fodder, and who has himself pulled
fodder for many years, Will find some
trouble to make UP his mind not to do
SO this year. But if he is farming for
profit, if he wishes to get the largest
return for his years work and money,
he will at least try the experiment of
shredding one crop or a part of one
crop.
How shall we go about it," Well,
first of all, when you get ready TO pull
your fodder, just don't Leave it there
several days and then cut the corn
near the ground. Put it in good stacks
of about 90 to 100 stalks and leave it
there to cure. This will require from
four to six weeks. Then, if you have
your own shredder, haul it up and
shred it.
The shredder will take out the ears
and leave the shuckS and cut the stalk,
fodder and shucks into a fine mass.
If you do not own shredder, you and
four or five neiGhbors can combine and
get one.
Or the person who thrashed your
small grain will find it to his interest
to get shredder and go round his cir
cult again. 1t all depends on the farm
ers making up their minds to get
ready for the change by not pulling the
fodder and by cutting and saving their
cornstalks.
By doing so you nearly double the
value of yOur corn crOD. AQalySiS
shows that the stalk and cob are as
rich in food as the fodder and shucks.
This we have been losing because we
did not know the value and how to get
it.
Now we know this let us keep up
with the march of progress, is the con-
clusion of this advice, given by The
Southern Cultivator.

ON WAY TO WASHINGTON.
atOr from MInnesOta-OppOse
to Ship Subsidy Bill.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 7.--Charles A.
Towne left Duluth Thursday morning
for st. Paul to receive his commission
as United States senator and proceed
at once to Washington. The offer
was made him Wednesday evening
and he has accepted. Before leaving
he said that his time of service would
of course be short, but he might have
to vote on some important measures.
He considers the ship subsidy a bad
one and is against it. His position on
the standing army is that the people
have voted to put down the war in
the Philippines and he will vote to
give army enough to do that, but not
for an increase for any other purpose.
He does not expect to participate in
debate at all during his short term.
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 7.-Former
Congressman Charles A. Towne, demo-
crat, of Duluth, arrived in the city
Thursday afternoon on the Northern
Pacific, and later called on Gov. Lind.
He formally accepted the appoint
ment to the United States senate for
the vacancy caused by the death of
Cushman X. Davis, received his COM
mission Immediately, and left for
Washington to take the seat which
he will hold until the legislature,
which is overwhelmingly republican,
elects senator to the place.
Gov. Lind made the appointment of
Mr.. Towne on Tuesday night, and the
commission was dated December 8,
1900, but the announcement was with
held until the governor could see Mr..
Towne personally and talk matters
over with him. Mr.. Towne was the
fusion nominee to whom the honor of
a party vote was given in the legis-
lature two years ago, and his name
has been prominent among those men
toned for the appointment from the
time the vacancy occurred.
IA native of Michigan, Al years Of age. a
graduate of the Michigan university aca-
demic and law departments, for a time
practicing law in Chicago and later in Mar
quette and Duluth, Mr. Towne was elected
to congress by the republicans Of the Sixth
district In 1894 He attracted much atten-
tion as an orator during his term In con-
gress and when, in 1896, he left the repub-
lican party because of his belief on the
money question he quickly became a lead
er among the silver republicans. AS the
head of that party he was of national repu-
tation and was active in the campaign of
1886. The populist national convention
named him for vice presidential candidate,
as also did the silver republicans, but he
withdrew from both tickets in the interest
of the straight democratic ticket later an
nouncine himself as regular democratl

TIE LABOR QUESTION.
Its Discussion Takes Up Much of tn
Time of the w. @. II. U.
Convention.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The National
Woman's Christian Temperance union
had quite discussion Wednesday over
the following resolution, reported
from the committee on resolutions:
1--WE reafirm our sympathy with organ
lied labor in its demand for living wage,
an eight-hOur day and in all wise efforts for
justice and freedom. At the same time we
earnestly entreat the labor forces to stand
with us in opposing intemperance, the d.
rect foe to all classes, and the legalized
liquor traffic, the most aggressive and
tyrannical of monopolies. We believe that
the solution of the liquor problem In right
eousness will go far toward the solution
Of the labor problem ia Justice"
The discussion of the labor question
on this resolution was so animated
that the matter was permitted to go
over. The day was largely given up
to reports Of various works incidental
to that of the w. c. T. u, including
the Frances Willard hospital, vivsec-
ton and Sabbath observance. Fa-
yorable progress was reported gener-
ally.
