central telephone office and al- most with one big ring Manager Hummer called up his subscrib- CTS all over town and informed them of what had happen ed. This dispatch was followed in close succession by others stating more particulars with the awful expression from the physicians that there was no hope of recovery. Every heart was wrung by the terrible news, and it is safe to say that news had been received i'll the remotest part of town before a half hours time has elapsed.
 The bulletins of Saturday only confirmed the former reports as to the tragedy, but by Sunday morning a ray of hope for the re- covery of the President had been expressed, and day by day has since added hope to hope until it now seems there can be no doubt but that he will recover, notwith- standing the seriousness of tine wound, one ball having glanced the breast bone and another pass ing through the stomach and lodging in the back.
 All that the best medical skill of the world can do has been done in the case of Mr. Mckinley, while the earnest prayer of evory Christian in the land has gone up for his recovery.
 This attempt upon life of the chief executive of our country is an act of the greatest national concern. Unlike the assassina~ lions of Lincoln and Garfield this was a direct thrust at our repub-
 ican government. In the ease of Lincoln his death was the cul- imitation of a bitter hatred en- genered in the bosom of Booth on account of the war of the res bellion. In his delusion he inn agined he was averaging a wrong that had been done the people of the south. Garfield was shot down by cowardly, disappointed william who thought he had a per- sonal grievance because the President had failed to appoint him to an office; but the would be assassin of President McKin- ley was not prompted on account of any personal or political feel ing; it was the expression of a sentiment of anarchy that is opposed to all forms of govern ment. The self-confessed mur- derer-for he is a murderer at heart of the darkest type-says he had nothing against Mr. Mckinley, but that he is opposed to our form of government. Our government exercises entirely too much liberality when 1t permits freedom of speech and action to the disciples of the doctrine of anarchy.

HOW TO GATHER APPLES.
Timely Suggestions from an
 Eminent Authority.

N. F. Murray, president of the Missouri Horticultural Society, has furnished the Practical Fruit man with the following article on the subject of picking, grading and packing apples:
 The time for picking apples is just when ma atured, before so ripe that they are ready to drop at a touch or gentle shake of the tree; they should be picked while stick ing tight. Pick with the stem on. Do not pull the fruit but pluck it off by giving a quick turn of the apple, so tue stem will Id
 from the tree. If left to II
 and drop it will mellow quickly and and not keep. Do not pick them wet. Pick into baskets, laying the fruit in carefully, not thowing 1t as some do. We use the half bushel basket with the turn down handle. Haul into a shed, barn or fruit house. Keep from rain and sunshine. The cooler and more even temperature the better, just so they do not freeze.
 Seperate into grades-Nos. 1, 3 and 3. Tine No. 1 should be di- vided into two classes, A and B. The standard for Glass A should be not less than 1-2 inches in diameter and may include such varieties as Ben Davis, Willow Twig, York Imperial and other varieties of kindred size. The standard for Class B should not be less than 2 inches in diameter, and may include Winesap, Mis- 5sari Pippins, Jonathan, Ingram, eGsSrimes' Golden Pippins and oth- CT varities of similar size. All No. 1 apples at time of packing should be practically free from the action of worms or deface- ment of surface or breaking of skin. They should be carefully hand picked from the tree and handled with great care to keep from bruising.
 No 2 may include all good, sound fruit, below the size for No. 1, down to the culls, which make up grade No. 3, which include all. very small, wormy, scabby and marred apples. None of this grade should be packed for mar ket, but may be evaporated, made into cider or viz pr or fed to the hogs. Some )hsons there will be but a very all per cent of No. 1 apples larger part being No. 2 and
 In all this matter lg, the most important poi 6l is to do honest work. B! we mean, use nothing bud full standard package, new and clean. If it be 8 barrel, let it be a full size flour barrel-that is one with 17 Is inch diameter of head and 20 1-2 inch stave. This wM meet all requirments of the best class of bd Is. If 8 box, let it be new, clean and neat, holding fully what is claimed for it. Never use an old package, though it m ay be standard size, an6 ever use 8 snide measure. You will find either practice a loosing game.
 e-.Place the first layer of apples in barrel with stems down, using fruit only the average size of the grade you are packing, then fill up carefully until full, shaking the barrel gently while filling Fill well to the top of slaves and have the fruit of the same grade from top to bottom. Adjust the head and press into place with lever or screw. Mark on head of barrel (the end faced) plainly the name of the fruit. Do not mix the varieties, they will neith- CT cook nor eat alike, and it only diminishes their value in the mar ket. Never pour the apples into the barrel, use the round half

PROFITABLE PRACTICE.
Soaking Corn for Feeding Is Said TO
Result in the Saving of 20 Per
Cent. OF Grain.

For two years we have soaked all
the corn fed to hogs, whether shelled
or on the ear, writes o. c. Wiggin,
Charlotte county, Va, in the South
ern Planter. We were led to the prilc-
tice by the reports of experiments
made by the Kansas experiment sta
tion.
/ take it that the chief advantage
in soaking corn lies in the better mas
tication which the animals give the
kernels. / find that the teeth of pigs
soon become sore when fed contin-
uously on hard corn. When fed on
the ear, the front teeth become so
sore that they can hardly shell it.
The eNcrements of animals fed on dry
corn contain a large proportion of un-
digested fragments. This is apparent
to the most casual observer.
All last year we had been feed
ing our horses and mules on soaked
corn with decided gain. Many horses
have vicious habit of bolting their
grain, while old animals have faulty
teeth, which prevent them from crush
ing hard grain.
believe we are saving twenty per
cent. of grain by this simple prac-
tice.
We never allow the soaked corn to
become sour. 1t is we'll to have two
barrels to use on alternate days. If
the weather be very hot, the corn
should not remain in soak more than
IL hours. In cool weather it may
remain "a hours or longer. Nothing
can so certainly and quickly derange
the digestive organs of any animal
and throw it off its feed as sour corn
or meal.

reading matter, but proved TO be of
vast advantage to wage-earners in the
printing trades because, like the aux

of scores of newspapers in every part

collecting city news independently,
the publishers formed organizations

standing of the business value of com
bination and cooperation. Before the
war between the states the average
country newspaper was published at
heavy expense. Few editors managed
TO make both ends meet. Their busi-
ness life was constant struggle for
existence Competition had reduced
advertising rates and cut subscription
prices below the cost price. But early
in the sixties, at time when money
was getting scarcer and labor harder
10 procure than ever, the late \. n.
Kellogg, then country editor up in
Wisconsin. solved the problem which
was agitating his fellow publishers by
inaugurating the auxiliary sheet
better known as the patent inside
business. The idea, although revolu-
tionary and contrary TO all editorial
traditions. became popular at once, and
was adopted by hundreds of western
publishers who, by it, were enabled to
issue good papers at a nominal en-
pense.
\ few years later the stereotype
blsiness-another industry founded
IN the principle of combination and CO.
operation-was launched. Its purpose
was to supply the editors of newspa-
pers printed in the larger towns with
stereotype plates that could be used
in place of the much higher priced
hand composition. The business was
success from the start. 1t not only

so-called literary "syndicate," which
buys articles and sells them to editors
all over the country at merely NOM

which does not make copious use of this
Syndicate" stuff; and one Sunday pa
per, barring the local news, looks very
much like another, whether 1t be pub

Francisco. Several years ago the
writer, while a guest of the Lotus club
at New York, asked well-known

"syndicates." 81 suppose" he replied,
because the stuff usually offered to

himself in favor of com bination and
has suggested the formation of a NAM

which is to control the publication of
all the great newspapers of the world.
He would organize a stock company
with a vast paid-up capital for the pur-

may be true, as Senator Marcus
Aurelius Hanna, Ohio's world

heat of last years campaign, that there

is full of all sorts of combinations not
even the astutest politician could deny
without making a spectacle of himself.

prise that came under his observation
few days ago, called the Mail Plate
Co. of Chicago. This concern. like the
stereotype plate houses, sends out
ready-set matter of high character
to its customers, most of whom are
doing businessin nout-oftheway places.
The stereotype plate is heavy article
which is advantageously used by
American publishers. but 10 send it to
the orient or occident would entail ex-
press charges quite beyond the reach
of the nominally-constituted antipode-
an or Arctic publisher. To fill the lat
ter's demands is the mission of the
mail plate, which is manufactured OF
pyralin and can be sent all around the
globe for few cents. The plate itself
is thin sheet of celluloid composition.
This is fastened to a metal base, which
the publishers keep in stock, and when
so united the plate prints as well as its
metal prototype. The cut explains the
modus operandi in detail.
The extent of this mail plate busi-
ness is surprising, and cannot fail to be
gratifying to our national vanity. Its
regularly placed before men and wom-
en- ofevery rynationality. That this state
ment is by no means an eNaggeration
was satisfactorily proved by visit to
the company's shipping room, where
Manager /. H. Whipple pointed out

Alaska; Dawson City, in Yukon terri
tory; Mexico City, Monterey and Nue.

Mia, in the Philippines; Bluetields, in
Nicaragua, and Auckland, in New
Zealand, On the day before plates had
been shipped to Cape Colony and the
country of the Boer in South Africa.
1t seems almost wonderful that the
publisher of paper printed in the
English language in far-away Hong
Kong can, on the arrival of the steamer
from San Francisco, stroll up to the
post Office and secure dainty package
containing variety of articles, pro-
fusely illustrated and ably written, the
the whole thing ready for the press, at
a cost which must seem trifling even
in those countries of the orient where
labor can be had for shilling day.
Like the patent inside and the stere-
otype plate, the mail plate is triumph
of combination and cooperation, in
whose advantages every newspaper
reader has share. And ii is also a tri-
umph for American inventive genius
and American postal methods. which
assure safe and prompt delivery at a
| tritiing expense.
Trusts which control the output and
prices of the necessities of life unques-
tionably are a menace to society, but
healthy combinations having in view
the development of general activity
and the creation of rev business enter
prises are entitled to public yespect
and commendation.
