Keeping Apes for High Prices.
The cold storage plants Of the large
cities are expensive to use, though they
prove profitable if the fruit stored is Of
the finest quality. 1t is the grower with
the comparatively small crop who finds
the problem of keeping the fruit for
high prices a troublesome one. An
apple grower of long experience ad-
vances the theory that the reason why
the average grower cannot keep apples
for any considerable period is because
he does not treat them properly during
the period between picking and very
cold weather. During this period no
cold storage is needed, but after the
fruit is assorted into proper grades it
should be kept in straw-lined boxes I'M
til perfectly free from moisture, then
barreled and the barrels kept in a cool
but dry barn or outbuilding until time
to put them in cold storage or to remove
them to the warmer but dry cellar. 1t
is claimed that by this handling the
apples may be kept at least month or
six weeks longer, even without the SIM
plest cold storage plant than under the
old method.

Sugar Beets and Cattle Growing.
The Standard Cattle Company Of Ne
braska claims to have been almost
forced into the growing of sugar beets
and the establishment of a beet sugar
factory by the failure to make the profit
they desired or were used to making
by feeding cattle upon corn. They
found that the residuum or pulp left
after the sugar was made from the
beets was a valuable fattening food for
cattle. To fairly test the matter they
have some 1900 acres in beets, and
have built sugar factory at a cost Of
$500, 000 They find the cost Of grow
ing the beets to be $12.3S per acre for
labor it being done by contract at $6.92
for thinning and punching, $347 for
hand hOeing, $1.99 for cultivator. They
find that in Nebraska the beets are not
at their best for sugar making if har
vested before Sept. Is, and thus they
must 60 into a silo OF pit before many
Of them can be used, as they must be
all harvested before the frost comes.
The pulp must also be preserved in the
silo until it is wanted for feeding out.
They use beet seed from France and
Germany, but are not yet decided as to
the best varieties. The crop grown has
been about fifteen tons per acre, but
the sugar contents have not been as
high as expected. The primal object
is the fattening of stock upon the pulp,
but they had hoped to obtain sugar
enough to pay the cost of growing and
manufacture, leaving the cattle feed
as a waste product costing nothing.
This point they do not seem to have
reached yet, and there seems to be two
problems to solve before they can reach
it, Or success in one of them may be
enough, the growing Of beets at less
cost, or getting higher sugar test from
them. Thus far have beets yielding
about nine per cent Of sugar, while in
Germany they reach an average Of 1875
per cent.-American Cultivator.

Timber Waste.

II Is little short of ridiculous that mil
lions of feet of valuable timber should
be destroyed every year on the Pacific
coast through the carelessness OF hun
tiers and campers. The sheep herders
of the mountains used to burn over large
tracts for the purpose of making feed
for their hocks in subsequent years, but
the practice has long ceased. At all
events, somebody ought to make it his
business to devise stringent and sys-
tenatic scheme for preventing the waste
and destruction wrought by annually re-
curing forest fres.-Goldendale WASH

tinuing, Mr.. KortZ said: Il remember
q fierce fight we had on the river at
Columbus, KY, in 1864. At that time
we had the gunboats Taylor and Tyler,
and they were hummers. Long about
daylight we noticed a large number
of rebels on the shore. A short time
afterward they opened fire on us with
rifles and cannon. When the fight be-
came a little too hot for our comfort
we gave them two broadsides which
threw them into panic. In less than
thirty minutes we had dismaDtled their
guns and caused them to run up the
white flag as a token of surrender. A
few weeks afterward the guns we cap
tured in this fight were used to fire
salute to us as we set out for st.

CRITICISM is UNFAIR.
Why England Is Not in Position to
Judge American Locomotive.
A. NJ. WRitt, of New York Central Rail-
road System, Says Narrower and
Lower Tunnels There Necessi-
tate Restrictions.

They have no real American loco
motives abroad, strictly speaking, and
the critics of these engines do not
know what they are"
So said a. NJ. Watt, superintendent
of motive power and rolling stock for
the New York Central railroad system.
He was speaking of the c1bled reports
of the unfavorable criticisms passed by
foreign railroad officials upon the
American made locomotives with
which they have lately been expert
menting.
The locomotives they refer to-" Mr..
Waitt continued, ARE American in
make, true enough, but they are Eng
I lish and foreign in dimensions, caliber,
and power. Owing to the restrictions
made necessary by narrower and low
er tunnels and other essential differ
| ences which characterize English roads
as compared with ours-and the same
is largely true, / understand, on the
continent-it is simply impossible for
them to utilize such machine as we
now regard as truly American loco
motive. The result is they get sort
of hybrid affair built by American skill,
but on foreign lines, and to meet for
eign requirements, and then if it does
not prove to be all they had hoped for,
they proceed to criticise the American
locomotives"
Mr.. Watt went on to say that in Eng
land the practice is to nurse locomo-
tives and let them grow old, while in
this country the practice is to run them
hard and use them to their fullest ca
pacity.
Angus Sinclair, editor of Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, years ago
drove locomotives on the Caledonian
railroad in Scotland, being a Scotch
man by birth. He visits Europe year
ly and he has studied the subject of
locomotives in every country there
except Spain.
prejudice, prejudice" he said,
when the subject of American loco
motives was broached. "Two-thirds
of it at least is simply prejudice. 1t
is hard to get British or a European
engine driver to make a favorable re-
port on Yankee machine or Yankee
invention of any kind. But they will
come to it, in spite of their prejudices.
The American locomotive will win it's
way in Great Britain and Europe, that
is certain"
