BROUGHT BACK.
Harry Zimmerman Offers no
Objection to Coming.
He Admits That He Forged the Check:
and is Willing to Face the Music if
II Cannot Be Settled.

Chief Bowen returned on the early
morning train from Omaha with
Harry Zimmerman, who is wanted on
the charge of having forged checks in
this city early in the week. The young
man offered no objection to returning
without requisition papers, although
friends at Omaha tried to persuade
him to fight the case. He admitted
his guilt and said that he must have
been under the influence of liquor
when he did it. as he had been drink
ing considerable
At Omaha, Zimmerman passed So
forged check on gambler. Chief
Bowen found on him three blank
checks on the National Citizens bank,
that had been torn from Gates
Phillips pocket check book. Six were
taken in all, two were filed out and
passed, and one was torn up by Zim-
norman, so he says This accounts
for all of them.
Zimmerman says that he represented

pany up to six weeks ago, when he left
it to avoid trouble with one of the
members of the company. He has had
trouble with one of his legs from
blood poison, and has had three am
putations during the past two years.
although his foot was crushed several
years ago. He uses crutches
Speaking of the shocking affair at
Van Vert, Ohio, in which Mrs. Jno.
Van Liew is charged with having
thrown vitrol in the face of young
lady, nearly killing her, Mr.. thinner
man states that he has received let
ter from his mother, who is in Van
Vert, and in this she says that the
victim of the assault is not as badly
disfgured as the reports indicate.
The young lady threw up her arm and
her face and eyes escaped. She was
badly burned about the chin and chest.
Zimmerman was arraigned at nine
o'clock this forenoon and his hearing
was set for Oct. Sd, the bond being
placed at $3.50. In default of bail, the
defendant was committed to the
county Jail He had no attorney but
will engage one. John Kleinschmidt,
who attached his name to the
complaint says he will not settle the
case.
Zimmerman states that he made no
effort to escape, telling people at the
depot on his departure from this city
that he was going to Omaha. He says
that he did not leave Omaha, but re-
manned at gambling place with the
proprietor of which he is acquainted. |
He got tip that a warrant was out
for him and was advised to go, but
preferred to stay and face the music |
now rather than have the charge hang
over him. He states that he will not |
inform his father of his predicament.
If he cannot settle the matter, he is
willing to take his medicine. The |
extreme limit for forgery in the second
degree is ten years.

LOADS OF APPLES.
One of the Largest Crops of This Frnit
Ever Known.

he Minneapolis Journal, in speak
ing of the apple crop of the country,
says:
'sNever since Mother Eve pluckeG
the first apple and gave it to Father
Adam to eat, with such direful con-
sequences as no man may estimate,
have there been SO many apples, such
large apples, such big and little APP
pies, such juicy, highly favored ap-
pies, such glorious variety of the fav-
orite fruit of the Garden of Eden, as
in the year 1900 Uncle Sans crop
reports record mighty things of King
corn, Emperor Wheat, of President
Oats, of Gar Potato, for 1900, but
this year the apple says, with the
French monarch, 4 am the state"
"But the price will be about the
same as last season. Astounding, of
course, but the flavor of this year S
apple cannot be described, it can only
be enjoyed, by those who bite into the
Baldwins, the winesaps, the twenty
ounce pippins, the greetings, the
wealthys and all the juicy, cider-mak-
ing tribe. This thing of flavor, of
quality. is so marked this season that
it will keep the price of apples up, &C
cording to the commission men.
"But to get back to the supply. The
government reports, again according
to the applemen in the commission
house district, say that the greatest
crop of apples in the worlds history
is now being harvested, and no matter
where they are hanging on the trees
their quality is very fine This is pc
culiar, for the apples from the south
western states are usually of inferior
quality, but this year every orchard
in the country is producing fine fruit.
The Pacific coast has very heavy
crop of fine quality, but on account of
high freight rates, comparatively'few
Car loads will be sent to eastern mar
kets. However, the Northern Pacific
has just announced a rate of 60 cents
per 100 pounds from Ellinsburg,
Wash, to the Twin Cities which is of
tremendous Importance to the orchards
of the Inland Empire. The rate
named goes into effect Oct. and will
hold until Jan. 1, 1901. The orchard
lists on the coast say they will be able
to ship large consignments ofs.apples to
the eastern market under this rate,
which is 5 cents better than the rate
offered last year.
"The heavy wind story, which was
general over so large portion of the
United States at the time of the Gal
weston disaster, damaged the crop
great deal by blowing the apples off
the trees by the millions, and reports
say that the loss on this account was
from % to go per cent. But, notwith
this hard blow to the fruit,
there are oceans of apples left. And
there is no indication of an advance in
price.
Commission men say that apples
will cost them from 50 to So. rs per
barrel in car load lots. These prices
cover the best fruit. Lower prices for
the cheaper grades will doubtless pre-
vail, but 1915 will enable them to
buy the very finest barrel of apples in
the whole country. The price to the
people who eat apples will be about
30 cents a barrel over the figure
quoted"

PROJECTION AGAINST WEEVILs AND
MOTHS.

If the corn is to be left in the field
for maturity, then the shuck should
remain on it when put in the crib, as
it helps to protect from the weevils
and moths. Especiallyis this true of
the Angoumois grain moth (Gelechio
ceredIeIL0).
The black weevil (CaLandro
oryzae) is more apt to come on the
second year, or the following spring
after the corn has been housed.
The corn should be we'll dried or
cured before it is stored away and
there will be nc danger from heat
ing. 1t should be put in Il close rat
or mOuse-proOf bin, closed on top as
we'll as the sides, as the mouse is
very ingenious in making an en-
trance. The close crib can be used
very effectively to kill the weevils
and moth as the bisulphide of car
bon can be applied so easily. 1t can
be sprinkIed on top of the corn when
the hauling is finished, or along
while the hauling is going on, being
careful to keep the door closed that
the fumes may reach every part Of
the heap.
The fumes will disappear in a week
or ten days, and there is no danger
except from fire, as the bisulphide is
very cOmbustible.
No fire should be allowed around
the crib, not even Il pipe, as an ex-
plOSion may occur.
About enc pound of the b~isulphide
should be used to every one hundred
bushels of corn. II the corn is free,
or even comparatively free from
weevils, then there IS no necessity
for biSulphide.
China berries and Jerusalem oak
are often mixed in with the corn,
but these remedies do not amount to
much.-B. IrJy, N. Z. Experiment

SELL YOUR SURPLUS STOCK.

You have thoroughbred live stock
to sell, but in your immediate vicin-

that true? There are hundreds Of

and adjoining States who would
gladly pay your prices if they knew
you had the stock for sale. The Pro
gressive Farmer is read by the very
best class of farmers in the Southern
States-furmers who know the value
of breeding thoroughbred live stock,

ECONOMY IN DAIRY PRACTICE.
correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
One can be d spendthrift In sum-
mer time with pasture and fOOd-tOr
grass. roots, and all other succulent
food is plentiful, but true economy
in planning will make some OF the
present abundant food do for general
feeding later, when it is difficult to
secure good grass. 1t is not good
business methods to let the COWS de-
strov nearly as much grass and pas
ture as they eat, and that is what
they do on many farms when turned
loose to Craze at will over q large
area. They simply trample down
and iniure fully half as much as they
eat. 1t is not a difficult matter to
divide the pasture field into proper
sized lots for each herd, and then
they should be made to crop the
thoroughly, but not too short.
There Is as much danger in over
cropping Us in under-crOpping. When
the grass Is eaten off close to the
roots their vitality is reduced so that
a dry hot spell of weather IN mid
summer will kill some of them. In
late fall this close cropping makes
the plants SO weak that Il severe
open winter is pretty sure to injure
the pasture. The success of retain
ing good grass fields depends as much
on keeping the roots in healthy con-
dition in midsummer and winter as
anything else.
Economy in feed is the most i'm
portant on the dairy, and it is not
altogether one of raising the right
kind of food. It is a matter of pre-
serving it in the best form for fall
and winter use. To make winter
dairying successful we must strive
to make the feeding as much like
that of summer as possible. The
June butter is the best made because
the grass Is it its most Succulent
form. and milk and cream are rich
and nutritious. If we could have
June grass plentifully throughout
the whole year we would not have to
worry much about ecOnOmizing with
food. But we don't, and so we must
try to make amends for natures
shortcomings. We must reserve
some of the best pasture fields for
hay, and we must raise corn for fall
feeding and ensilage for winter feed
inc. Besides these we must have
more or less of roots, although good.
succulent ensilage will take their
place very well. Ensilage gives so
much better results in winter over
dry feeding that it seems strange
that anyone should attempt winter
dairying without an abundance Cf
this on hand. There Is, of course,
always the trouble of preparing this
ahead of time, and the shiftleSs
dairymun never likes to do more
work than the immediate present
demands. But economy necessarily
looks far ahead and lays up in store
for the rainy day. This is just what
the dairymun can and must do to
make the highest success, and the
time for beginning the economy l.

average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest $1.25 to better adj
vantage than by sending that
amount to Us for d copy Of Prof. L,

great ability who knows his subject
by long years Of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy Of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the

FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN.

49, -
p. d. Gold, writing in the Wilson
Times, gives the following advice,
which, il followed, would benefit ali
concerned:
1t is to the interest of farmers,
merchants, bankers, mechanics, etc,
to pull together.
The foundation of our business in
this country lies in farming. Mer-
chants should encourage farmers, for
ii farmers fail to make good crops
how can they buy. from the merchant
and pay MIN? They should pay the
farmer Il good price for his products.
Bankers should also favor the
farmer all they can in advancing
him money. Any combination to
break down the price Of cotton is
hurtful to the country. 1t is to the
interest Of all classes of our people
for cotton and other farm products
to sell we'll. Manufacturers seek to
beat down the prices of cotton, to-
baccO, etc, that they may gain. But
suppose cotton and tobacco should
sell SO low that there~is no profit for
the farmer, how can he buy the
products OF the factory, or pay his
merchant, or pay his bank debts?
The price of cotton is much better
than it was twelve months ago, but
the crop is short, and the supply is
now limited and will continue to be
so.
If farmers would not rush their
cotton into market SO rapidly they
would obtain better prices.
There has been and is now a COM
binatiOn of cotton manufacturers to
beat down the price of cotton. These
manufacturers have made very large
profits the last few years. Now when
they are not making so much they
seek to break down the price of raw
cotton to the loss Of the farmer.
Why not pay the farmer a good
price for his cotton, and then he will
be better able to buy the cotton goods
when manufactured?
Let banks help the farmers out,
and let merchants do likewise, and
all will be benefited.
