but it is now becoming quite common.
The crop is cultivated like corn, tho
seed being planted in drills at the rate
OF half bushel per acre. The stems
alone are too coarse to make good hay,
but are covered with such dense
growth of leaves and are SO prolific
in fruit that the hay is priced high
ly, especially for mich COWS and for
fattening animals. The yield of green
forage is very heavy when grown on
good soil, and the yield OF beans Is
usually from twenty to thirty bushels
per acre. Those who have had most
experience with this crop find that the
best way to handle it is to cut or pull

More and more the English market
is coming to depend on American APP
Piles, by which we mean apples from
the United States and Canada. This
year the apple crop of England is re-
ported decidedly short, and what ap-
plies there are there, are of the fall
varieties, and will not at all stand IN
the way Of the sale of winter apples.
Added to that, they are reported to be
not keeping WELL This means that
they will be used up by the time win
ter sets in. Germany, Belgium and
Holland have good crops and France
has fair crop. Reports from abroad
would seem to indicate that If there Is
any surplus on the continent that can
be shipped to England it will consist
mostly Of fall and not OF winter ap-
Piles. Americans are not very likely
to make large shipments of fall apples.
and so our apple trade with Great
| Britain should not be affected. Unfor-
/ tunately for our own part in the trade
the American apple crop is not so
| large that we are in position to fill
| the English market very full OF good
apples. We fear the tendency will be
/ to send forward other than the best
fruit, as the best is likely to be kept al
home by the high prices. The moral
OF the situation is that more winter
varieties should be planted in this
country There are large areas OF
billy land that is good principally fol
the growing Of apples, such as some
OF the WORKOUT farms from New Yorl
and Pennsylvania eastward. W.
should have such a large supply o
4 late winter apples that We will always
be in shape to hold what foreign mar
kets we may gain.

musical criticism. A recent number OF

lowing. In Brahms concerted music
the instruments seem to be constant

A story is told OF Sir Henry Irving

painted the portrait of the actor. The
picture did not commend itself to the
sitter, and was relegated to a lumber
room, where II remained until Sir
Henry was changing his quarters. A
servant brought the portrait to his
master. and asked what he should

The authorities that have charge OF !
the work for the erection OF buildings
on the exposition grounds at Paris
have adopted novel method OF pro-
tecting The shade and ornamental
trees. One strong objection against
the use II certain parts OF the grounds
at Paris was that there were valuable
trees in the way that would apparent
ly have to be sacrificed when the exca-
vations for the foundations OF the
buildings were made. But the French
men thought out a scheme and put II
into operation Around the roots OF
each tree they built a wooden tank,
enclosing both roots and dirt The
trees were thus boxed up. but in such
liberal proportions that they went
right on growing as If nothing had
happened. Derricks and tackling
were arranged and the boxes. trees
and all, were lifted high above the
heads OF the laborers and kept there
till the work was done. After the
foundations were in place the trees
were dropped back into place and the
boxing removed.
The apple market is in somewhat
unsettled condition, owing largely 10
the atmospheric conditions at harvest
time. The warm, moist weather In
some parts of the apple belt affected
the fall and early winter varieties. The
| fruit at picking time appeared SOUND,
but soon began to rot. Some OF the
/ old stand-bys even began to rot on

OF apples has arrived in the market

They are not yet conquered. The

every soldier that is ordered to China.
There are more than 100 times as
many people in China. And so far
there is no talk of sending a bigger
army than ours In the Philippines.
And 500, 900. or about ten times as
many as the United States army in the
Philippines, is the biggest number
spoken of.
