1t is interesting to note the principal
products of some of the States. Maine
eXcels in ice and granite, Iowa in corn
and hogs. Minnesota in lumber and
fruit and hops; Pennsylvania in coal
wheat; the Pacific coast states in
and iron; Ohio gives us otficeholders,
Kentucky hemp and tobacco, WiScon-
sin beer, Michigan peaches, the Caro-
linas rice and turpentine, Georgia and
Alabama cotton, Alaska gold and salm-
on. With the exception Of tea, COT
fee and some dyestuffs and sugar,
which we might just as well produce
as not, the American nation is prac-
tically Independent of any other coun-
try in the matter of supplying all its
wants.

SICCESSFIL For ESTRN

One of the most interesting and sue
cessful attempts at forestry WORK we
have come across is that made in ISIS
by the Memphis Railroad company in
the vicinity of Pennington, Kan Tn
der the direction of the president Of the
road two sections Of land, or I2No
acres. were planted with catalpas, the
trees being set out four feet apart each
way, or 2,720 trees to the acre This
tract of timber has become literally an
impcnctrable forest, the trees shooting
up tall and slim. like tamaracks and
now Of IA size sufficiently large to make
ties, telegraph pole and fcnceposts. 1t
is estimated by the company that taiS
tract will supply the road with all the
timber which it needs for these pur-
poses from now on.

1t was first the OK team of the pio-
Nee settler, then the two horse team,
then ten years ago the three horse
team, and this year we have noted
more four horse teams at work putting
in the crops than ever before. Every
corner is being cut where hired help
may be dispensed with and a horse
made to do the work of Il man.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1901-05-31

We are asked if where a hired man
is given permission TO keep horse in
the barn of the man for whom he
works and the horse gets kicked and
injured by one of his employers
horses he can collect damages from
his employer. This is almost as hard
a proposition to tackle as King Solo
mon had with the women ana the
baby. If we accommodated a hired
man by keeping Il horse for him, we
would have it understood that he
should take all risks as to his horse.
In fact, we don't like the horse bust
ness with the hired man, as he then
spends too much time out nights.

HALF A CROP
SAYS MIR. MILLS
Estimates That Delaware Will
Have 100000 Baskets
MORE MONEY FOR GROWERS
Peaches Will be Of Finer Quality,
and There Will be No
Clut

clayton, Del, July S-special Agent J..
n. Mills. OF the Philadelphia. Wilmington
and baltimore railroad, has just com
pleted compiling the estimates Of agents
in the Peninsula as 20 the peach crop OF
1901
These include the Delaware railroad,
from Wilmington 20 Delmar; the Queen
Anne and Kent railroad. from Townsend
10 ccntrevnle; the Baltimore and Della
ware Ray railroad, from Clayton TO Ches-
tertown: the Delaware and Chesapeake
railway. from Clayton to oxford; the
Delaware. Maryland and Virginia railway,
,rom Harrington 20 Lewes. and from
Georgetown TO Franklin city and the
Cambridge and seaford railway, from
seaford TO Cambridge.
ESTIMATE OF 100000 BASKETS.
The estimate is 100000 baskets. Mr..
Mills has not as complete and reliable an
estimate this season as formerly. owing
to the fact that in some sections the
"June drop IS not over, and the peaches
are strl falling from the trees. Usually
the drop Is over by the middle OF June.
This year. owing 20 the late Spring. the
shedding season has been delayed. There
is every indication that the fruit will be
OF good size and fine quality. In sections
where tho trees are unusually fun Of
fruit. the farmers have thinned them to
make the peaches larger and Of more dell
cate flavor.
The estimate Of last seasons crop was
over 100000 baskets This season there
win not be more than half a full crop.
This will bring tho farmer more money
and prevent tho usual "gluts" in the city
markets.
"lELLOWS" HAVE PLAYED HAVOC.
The number Of peach treos-en the PEN
insula would be very materially increased
were Il not that thousands Of trees have
been pulled out. This Is very noticeable
along the line OF the Queen Anne and
Kent railroad, few years ago the centre
of,fhe peach belt and section noted for
the delicate flavor Of the fruit. aht''.Solt
lows have played havoc with the trees,
and the farmers have found IL very un-
profitable to raise such inferior stock

 Selma Matter Settled.
 "The transfer of the franchise of Selma to Atlanta has already been settled. At lanta will be in the league.
 At the meeting to be held in Nashville Sunday at the Duncan oHtel there will be representatives from Vicksburg, Mobile. Montgomery and Knoxville. All of these four cities will make application to en- ter the league in case there are any va cancies. It will be left with the mana gers of the clubs to say what cities shall be included and which ones shall be left out. I cannot tell what they will do. only know that I will vote against the retention of Shreveport.
 "All of the four cities that will make application to get in the league are mak- ing strong bids. Knoxville is enthusias- tic over baseball and has made great promises.

A FEW REASONS
Which Are Rapidly Making New
 catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuarts CataIrh Tablets, the new Ca. tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other eatarrh remedies.
 First: These tablets contain no CO., caine. morphine or any other lnJnrlous drug and are as safe and benefieial Tor children as for adults; this is an impor- tant point when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objectionable ingredients.
 Next: Being in tablet form this remedy does not deteriorate with age. or an ex- posture to the air as liquid preparations invariably do.
 Next: The tablet form not only pre- serves the medicinal proprieties, but 1t Is so far more convenient to carry and to use at any time that it Is only ques- ton of time when the tablet will entirely supersede liquid medicines as 1t has all ready done in the medical department of the United States army.
 Next: No secret is made of the eompo- sition of Stuart's Catarrn Tablets; they contain the active principles of Eucalyp- tus bark red gum, blood root and Fly drastin, all harmless antiseptcs, which, however, are death to catarrhal germs whenever found because they eliminate them from the blood.
 Next: You can not cure catarrh by local applications to the nose and throat, be- cause these are simply local symptoms and such treatment can not possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease which is in the blood; for this reason. inhalers, douches, sprays and powders never really cure catarrh. but simply give temporary relief which a dose of plain | salt and water will do just as well. Catarrh must be driven out of the sys- l tenn, out of the blood. by an internal rem | edy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into | the blood
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this better than the old form of treatment because they contain every safe specific known to
 modern science in the antiseptic form of l the disease.
 Next: The use of inhalers. and spraying | apparatuses, besides being ineffective and disappointing, is expensive, while a com plete trer tment of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
 lets can be had at any drug store in the
 United States and Canada for 50 cents.
