horticultural Observat tions.

A fruit grower gives the advice to
never mix red and green apples to-
gether, as it gives the impression that
the lot is badly mixed and of no grade.
Gs The Japanese plums are beginning
to appear in some quantities in the
Chicago market, where they have
brought good prices this year. Where
they can be grown they are destined
to play an important role, as their
favor and color are in their favor.
The fact that they bear abun lantly in
favorable locations will doubtless en-
courage their further planting.
An advocate OF summer pruning ex-
presses the opinion that pruning may.
be done in summer that cannot well
be done at any other time OF year

Heart Break, and Supposed Suicide. ~

The ninth IN the list, OF tragic deeds
that have brought sorrow to family
prominent IN the worlds financial
circles was the recent ysterious death
near RddgeWood, N IS j.. OF Mrs. Ma
talit Mayer, eli dest daughter OF the late
Theodore Hayemeyer, former sugar
king. One theory in the case is that
Mrs. Mayer committed suicide, but an
other is that she was murdered by a
woman as the result of a quarrel. This
is but another OF the many strange
and violent deeds and deaths which
have followed the Hayemeyer millions
for four decades and have caused it to
be known as "the family Of tragedies" !"
B The first of the Havemeyer tragedies
was the death of George Havemeyer,
handsome young son of old F. G.
Havemeyer, Jr., son of old F. G.
the great sugar house. 1t was one day
in 1862. The young man had gone into
the great williamsburg redneries to
learn the sugazo business from start to
finish. He was % years old when he
was killed in the refineries. His father
saw him die. The boy fell down a great
shaft and never spoke again. The
fathers heart was broken. When the
building that lost him son was
burned down later he said he was glad

business head Of the great sugar trust.
To better improve what he had inner
tied, he married Miss Louise Elder,
daughter Of the junior partner Of Have-
meyer & Elder. All society was at the
wedding and brilliant social career
was predicted for the happy pair. Chill
dren were born and every thing
augured well for society S predictions.
but it was not to be. Despite their
millions, domestic content ntment could
mot be bought. Eighteen years ago
they we're divorced, and the scandal
attending it tore deep into the hearts
OF the Havemeyers.
s. Fate threw Clara Stevens Sutton In
to the path OF w Ham HaveIneyer,,.
,sJJ Il, son Of the former OF Sewz
York. The purse proud family were
against the match. The son lovedsher,
but the family protested strenuously.
Clara Sutton hadn't a cent; he was
heir to millions. But she was beauti-
full and gifted. They eloped. The man
was old enough to be Clara Sutton's s
father, but she was infatuated. In a
month the glamor was gone, and in a
year she was forced to divorce him.
The family swallowed their pride, but
the second divorce within the same
decade had cut them to the quick. It
was another Havemeyer tragedy.
* On the heels of the divorce came the
death of the mother, Mrs. Sarah Have
meyer, and the contest Of her will by;
her son, Charles w. Havemeyer, of
Philadelphia, with whom the family
had not been on good terms for many
years. - II. r.

How Not te Pack Apples,

Benjamin Newhall of Chicago, In an.
address to Illinois horticulturists,
said: ..S ss5 s
An art simple as piling cord wood
apparently, but really as difficult as
any art. To a man applying for a po-#
sition as an apple packer for us, !.
usually ask the question '.are you an
expert packer and the reply usually
8 is, yes indeed was brought up on q
farm and have raised fruit all my
life. !" Somehow always feel discour
aged when T hear this reply. The next
question, Estate just what experience
you have had usually brings out the
fact, that the farm was not really a
fruit farm, though few old apple
trees might have been in evidence.
This is usually enough as far as ex-
perience goes, but sometimes try
still farther and ask the expert" to
write a few samples of some of the
directions and will offer one or two
herewith. IS.
81: l. Take the barl and put nothin but
good stock in and leave your twos and
elders out. Put the press onto her
good and hard and mark the barl on
the head" =. 49, Il 4. :
Imagine an inexperienced man try
ing to pack with these directions. He
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 and
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 for
Sthe farm animals and for mincemeat.
If you follow these Instructions I'M
plicitly you will have no trouble in
selling all you paek This last state
ment is probably true and we Wo11fud 1tifd
have no 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, but
these two,I think, will answer my
purpose. They show that neither llv-
ing on 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 the right direction and the
common sense is aided by study and
experience, even these are not sufi-
cient. s,5 s #
take it that no one in. this COM
pany needs to be told how to pack ap-
Piles. Possibly there might be diff
ference of opinion in some minor de-
tails, but the main points, good coop
erage, careful facing, honest packing,
thorough shaking, with the greatest
care of all in the leveling off ready
for the press, we would probably all
agree on. s.5,es,, | II

Agriculture says: The bur, or globe,
artichoke (Cynara scolymus) lis cult
waited extensively in the countries
about the Mediterranean, where it is
native and where it thriyes in the
open air. It is grown to a less extent
IN gardens in central Europe and Eng
land, but being sensitive to severe cold
requires winter protection in all these
northern regions. It is a vegetable
having a very delicate flavor and is
sure to become popular in this coun-
try on the tables of those who appre-
ciate good things to eat. The bur ar
tichoke is not to be confused. with the
Jerusalem artichoke (HeHanthus tube
grosus) occasionally grown in this
country for its tubers, which are used
as a forage. for fattening hogs and.
other domestic animals. Il s5 s
The bur artichoke is a perennial,
with stems 3 to 4 feet high, and large
pinnatifid leaves from 2 to feet long.
The leaves are Whitish green above
and cottony on the lower surface, their
bases extending in wings down the
stems. The flower head, which is the
portion eaten, is very large, something
like that of the sunfower, but with
blue forets. In the cultivated plant
the base of the flower head and the
bases of the. enyeloping scales. are
quite feshy. ia. i ,ss5s: :
Cultivation in Europe.-The bur
artichoke is commonly propa gated
from suckers, which are produced
around the crown. These are pinched
off or cut off except two or three
which are left to produce the flower
heads. The operation Of detaching
the suckers requires care, for it is
necessary that a portion of the mother
plant should be removed with the
sucker, without cutting the old stem
too deeply. The suckers, after they
have been pruned, are ready for plant
ing. Articnokes may be grown from
seed, but most varieties do not repro
duce by this method with any degree
OF certainty. However, Gros vert dc
lLaon, sort much liked at Paris, re-
produces fairly true to type from seed

CHoATE AM THE BABY.
The American Ambassadors Nail
Head wit in an Address in
England.

Lately, at the opening of a free library at
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph H. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered, an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to a
baby who persisted in distracting the at
%ttention of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most i%nconvenient moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first
Interruption occurred early in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: "There is a spe-
cial provision for children in your library,
and I think when men come to make a
choice of a residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such a manner as to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some dis
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: "Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop that out Of the
mouths Of babes and sucklings cometh wis
DOM" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
There is a book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos.
sibly, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa-
dor went on; lit is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that of the making of books there is no end"
