Improving tho Apnlo Cron-.

The American apple crop is rapidly
becoming the leading crop of the Uni
ted States so far as actual returns are
concerned and our exports of these
fruits are growing larger and more
valuable every year. No grain or
other farm product is more generally
or more widely cultivated than the
apple. This fruit is by all odds our
national fruit. II is raised from
Maine to Florida now, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. 1t is eaten i'm
every American home almost the wear
round, and England and Germany are
rapidly initiating us I'm the matter OF
consumption. Our apples sell better
in the European markets than any of
the continental fruits and the prices
thus obtained help TO swell the returns
to our farmers OH lands where wheat
and corn fail through drought. or
where these cereals cannot be raised
successfully.
The question OF improving the quail
ity Of our apples. and increasing the
yield. is one that more farmers are
actually interested IN than that OF I'M

Use the Feed Cuttor.

All animals on the farm prefer foods
that may not be rellshed by some 9th
ers. The farmer should take advan-
tage OF this fact and utilize all the
materials that might be wasted If
there were not some animals that
would accept them. A judlclous use
OF the feed cutter, mixing n little bran
or meal with the cut food. and tempt
ing the animals with a variety. will
render serviceable even such food as
wheat straw. There are several modes
OF serving corn fodder that will make
1t acceptable to dainty animals.

How TO MIX n kIcr,In~ CO.,

Z According 10 the Ohio Homestead
the best way to milk Il kicking COW is
simply to milk her and pay no atten-
tion to the kicking. Stand against the
shoulder and throw the right arm over
the cow; lean forward and milk with
the left hand. The COW cannot reach
the mixer. and If he treats her kindly
and pays no attention to the kicking
she will soon get over it, The main
thing is to stick TO the milking until it

[ Piaeue of the Prlck1x Pear.

One of the most serious difficulties m the way of land settlement in some parts of Australia is said to be an ob- noxious plant called the prickly pear. As pest to the farmers it may be fairly classed with the rabbits. It has taken possession of whole tracts of country and the settler has to fight pitched battle for every acre he calls ais own. A single fruit brings forth 70, 60, and even several hundred fold of good, productive seed. All herbage may droop, die, and disappear in the oven of an Australian drought, but the pear survives, hourishes, and carries on its processes of expansion and re- production with unconcern. In the fierce struggle for life" when a drought is devastating the land this pest is living example of the survival of the ''unfttest." It was brought to Australia, like the rabbit, either for use or ornament, and it become 8 plague and pestilence. Its exter- imitation in the colony Of Queensland, at least, is question of national i'm portance.--Los Angeles Herald

WITH THE WREsTLERs.
Bob Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlin
 Matched. Graeco- Roman.

Former pugilistic champion Bob Fitzsimmons was matched to- meet Gus Ruhlin, the s'Akron Giant" in wrestling bout yesterday afternoon. The affair is to be decided at Madison Square Garden on Jnlg 9. The matchs maker of the-TweIltieth Century Ath4 .letic club of New York met Fftzsime mons and Billy Madden, representing Ruhlin, at down town office and without any barley match was ar ranged. The contest will be under Graeco- Roman rules, best two out of three falls. According to the articles the bout is to come off between the hours. of S:30 o'clock and il o'clock on the night of July 2. The conditions are that the match must be to a finish. In the event of either man securing a fall inside of one hour, however, rest of fifteen minutes is to be allowed be- tween each fall. Charley White was chosen referee. The match is for 50 per cent of the gate receipts. Madden and Fitzsimmons each posted $500 as a forfeit to guarantee their appear ance. Ruhlin has not had as much ex- perience as FitzsiInmons on the mat but he is no novice at the game. He declares that he has wrestled time and again in private while preparing for his encounters with the gloves. "I will fool lot of people," said Ruhlin, s'and if Fitz thinks that he has the bet ter of me at this game he will be very much mistaken" Ruhlin began work yesterday at Bath Beach for the fray
 He expects to engage clever man to work with him. Leo Pardello and Hugh Leonard, the wrestling instructor of the New York A. C., have been recommended as excellent partners
 Fitz will probably have the services of Ernest Roeber. who is a clever ex- ponent of wrestling. Bob and the Teuton have wrestled many times
 Fitz on form will have the advantage of Ruhlin, as he is well acquainted with the Graeco-Roman rules. Bob is preparing at Bensonhurst.

 It is probable that there will come a clash between the rival tracks on the question of obtaining sanctions for the same date before the summer is over. The N. 0.

Manhattan Beach proposes to run on Saturday afternoons and Wednesday nights. Madison Square Garden will run. on Monday nights, and it is rumored that it will ask for Saturday afternoons. When asked what would be the official action in case of applications from the rivals for Saturdays, Chairman Batchelder of the N. Q.

 Waterbury lost the game to Bristol yesterday because her players could not hit Bill Clements for but two hits, one "a three-sacker by Mccormick and the other a single by Luskey. The ever; for Umpire Cone made 1t inter esting in the early part of the game He gave two very rank decisions in the first inning which brought forth pro- tests from the local team and from the spectators as well. Manager Con nor was asked several times to have him taken out; but Cones end came in the second. when he made another de cision that was evidently right, but which Manager Connor disputed. He argued with Cone and the latter said that he would sooner cease umpiring than be called so often. Manager Con- nor told him it might be good thing if he did cease. He took him at his word and refused to umpire longer. The Bristol players tried to prevail on him to stay and not make fool of himself. but he refused and said that his self-respect would not allow him to umpire longer. Charley Clancy and Lfndsley finished out the game as um- pires. Bristol scored five runs. two of which were gifts by Cone in the first inning. one was a gift of Murphy's In the third. and two were gifts of Mur physs and Weisbecker's in the seventh.
