QUEER NEW YORK STORY.
Why n Fortune Goes BeEging fin
That city of BustIIng
Thousands.

Owing $1,00O,000 That sounds like
to claim the money it may not amount
TO much after all.
Five years ago the courts decided |
that New York city must pay n royalty |
for the use of patent which, for a |
long time, it had been enjoying free. |
it has taken ever since then to figure
out exactly what New York owed, |
and the announcement is now made |
that with interest reckoned in, the |
sum the city will have to pay is little
over $l,OO0,OOO The only thing left to
| do now is to find some one who has
right to call for this money and give
a receipt, says the Little Chronicle.
! About 40 years ago steam fire en-
! giues were first used in New York
city, and for some time it seemed im-
! possible to regulate the pressure OF
water in such II way as to keep the
hose from bursting while the engine
was at work. Accidents to the hose
were constantly happening just at the
most critical moment in a fire, and
yet slillfu inventors. who were study
ing the matter. could think of no way
TO prevent the troube.
One day a very young mechanic had
an inspiration. He had never had any
very wonderful ideas before that, and
there is no record that he had any
other later, but he happened to think
of good plan for keeping the fire
engine hose from bursting.
lie interested some friends in his
invention and secured patent, but
the city of New York, having seen his
apparatus, coolly adopted it; other
cities followed the example, and the
: result is that the relief valve invented
| by The mechanic has been used on our
steam fire engines ever since without
his getting either fame or fortune
for it.

SPINSTERS IN CLOVER.
Comfort Insured by n Company in
Denmark Which Assures Them
of Comfort in Old Age.

In Denmark the spinster's state
has been robbed of much of its hor-
ror. In fact, there's a premium on
spinsterhood. A celibacy insurance
company has been founded, and be-
tween an insurance policy and a hus-
band Danish maiden's heart is rent
with indecision, says a London eX-
change.
Matrimony is interesting but prob
lematic. Insurance in a good COM
pany is a safe proposition. How shall
a wise woman choose?
If the holder of policy in the cell
ibacy is still unmarried at 40 she is
considered immune and gets life
annuity. IT she marries before 40 she
forfeits her policy and premiums.
In Sweden and Norway there are
several old maids homes, and at

WHEAT IMPROVEMENT.
Among the Ordinary Varieti s known
at Present Rust Resistance Is
Not ObtainabIe.

In 1894 the division of vegetable
physiology and pathology of the United
States department of agriculture be-
gan experiments on an extensive scale
to test the comparative rust resistance
OF different varieties of cereals. espe.
cially wheat. This work was carried
on for three seasons, and during that
time it became apparent that constant
rust resistance is not to- be obtained
among the ordinary bread wheats
known at present, though on an aver
age few such varieties are fairly re-
sistant during a long period of years.
BY the results obtained it was rem
dered highly probable that this quality
must be bred into a variety either by
rigid selection of the most resistant
individuals of that variety or by cross.
ing with resistant varieties of other
wheat groups and selecting from the
resultant progeny such types as com.
bine in the highest degree the usual
qualities of the bread-wheat group
with that of rust resistance.
1t was also found that in regard to
other qualities than rust resistance it
is not possible to obtain varieties
which even approximate perfection,
and it is rare that many desirable quail
tiles are found in the same variety.
1t was, therefore, determined to
study thoroughly wheat varieties them
selves in all relatio and investigate
AID associated problems, such as
drought resistance, early maturity,
yielding power, and other matters of
great economic interest.

THE ANIMAL MANURES.
lance Is Underestimated by
Many Western Farmers.

: Andrew Fl. Ward, writing very intel.
| ligently of conditions in Boston DC.
| per, incidentally makes reference to a
fact concerning western methods OF
agriculture which ought to arouse the
| farmers in this section to the loss they
| suffer through treating as a negligible
factor the animal manures produced on
| their farms. He quotes from the re-
| port of the Massachusetts state board
of agriculture the statement that:
The encouraging feature of the dairy
business is the fact that the fertilizers
necessary to keep up the fertility of the
soil are furnished as waste product,
Experiments of chemists show that the
eXcrements of a well-fed COW in -
months contain nitrogen, phosphorie
acid and potash, worth at the market
price of those articles more than S45.
This sum is no mean addition to the
value of the milk and butter product
of the COW. These elements are abso-
lutely necessary to replace what our
crops take from the soil, and should be
count~d as part of the income from the
business" Mr.. Ward follows this with
this statement:
"At the west they do not count this
income from the COW, which gives the
east a great advantage over the west.
1t will be somewhat reduced as the
market prices of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash in fertilizers are low
cred by the fertilizer trust now being
formed
This is true of too many of our west
ern farmers who, blessed with soil of
wonderful richness, have treated it as
though it were a bank which could
honor all drafts indefinitely without
any deposits being made against them.
We are glad to say that this is not true
to-day to the extent it was but few
years ago; yet it too correctly describes
conditions on majority of western
farms. The reform should come before
it is too late; before we of the west are
compelled, as were the farmers of the |
east, to recognize natures mode of re- |
storing and maintaining soil fertility. |
For if we wait until that time, we shall |
have to pay for fertilizers from the |
products of poor, WORKOUT farms-a |
task but one remove from involuntary
bondage. Let us learn from the expert
ence of the east and put into practice
now the methods which that section
has demonstrated will insure the con-
tinued productivity of the land.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

BENEFITS OF PRUNING.
1t Improves Quality and CONSEQUENT
1y Adds Considerably to the Pro-
ceeds from the Orchard

In my experience as a grower and
dealer in apples for more than so
years, have found that the fruit that
was grown and ripened in the sunlight
was finer in flavor and worth in the
market from rs to Sc cents per barrel
more than if grown on trees of thick
foliage that shaded the fruit.
There is no fact more plainly visible
to an observing man, as he goes about
the country, than the shabby looking
appearance of the orchards. Shoots
are allowed to grow until they are so
thick that in gathering the fruit it
has to be picked from the outside of
the trees, there being no good chance
to place ladder inside. 1 do not think
I have ever seen more than a. dozen
properly shaped and pruned orchards,
IT the trees, when planted, were grated
or budded. All varieties of apple trees
do not make the same excess of wood
and neglect of pruning would not dam
age all the varieties alike, or to the
same extent.
My experience in growing pears is
the same as with apples. I have in
creased the value of pears in the mar
ket so cents per bushel by thinning out
trees that had not been pruned from
the time they were first planted. Pears
are SO cheap in our markets here that
1T scarcely pays to market them, I'M
less they are of good size and fine quail
ty. Pear trees will not grow oood fruit
it the trees are neglected like the ap-
pie trees.-Jonas H. Priest, in Country
