THE FRUIT BUSINESS.
Requires More HeRdwOrl< and Ex-
Perience Than Most branches
of Agriculture.

The claim that fruit growing sue
sessfully requires experts is absolute
ly true. Almost anyone can raise pigs,
poultry and general crops, and can
make moderate living. But few can
produce fine fruits. Agreat many start
in with the idea that they can, and
then after failing as a result of their
ignorance they condemn the whole
business. 1t is not unnatural that they
should influence others to believe that
there is no money in raising fruits.
Fruit growing requires more head
work than most branches of agricul-
ture. The farmer must understand
how to raise fancy fruits and how to
sen them. If he cannot do either he
must fail. It is no novice's work to
raise fine fruits. There must be skill
and experience, a knowledge of varie-
ties and species, and spirit of en-
thusiasm which makes one strive for
the highest. Brains and labor COM
bined never counted for more than to-
day on the fruit farm. The man who
possesses the ability and push to raise
tine fruits is in fair way to make
something more than a good living.
1t rs a good thing probably that the
tncompetents are dropped out of the
fruit growing business. Their failure
is an assurance to the reliable and In
telligent growers that they viii make
more profit. These ignorant novices
give the whole fruit business bad
name. It is not that they brighten
Others from the business by their COM
plants, but that they lower the stand
ard Of market fruits with poor, half
matured products. They actually de-
moralize some markets, which must
inevitably affect the goods of those who
have been careful in their work. The
sooner we get rid of the croakers in
the fruit business, the better it will
be for the whole trade. and we can az
ford TO lose them.-S. W. Chambers, in
American Cultivator.

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

Try growing watercress in the
brook or creek near you. Cress is a
fine relish with meats.
Put in row of sage when plant
ing the garden. Remember what an
excellent flavor a few sage leaves
will give your sausage meat next
winter.
The efforts of the California fruit
growers to secure a six-day fruit
train service from Sacramento to
Chicago, and nine-day one to New

Native in Pursuit of an Ostrich IL
staIked by LiOns-EscaPes by
Accidental Discharge OF Gun

For the first time in nearly IL
years William f. Fagin, of Chicago,
has written to a member of his fam
lily. Fagin has been a wanderer on
the face of the earth for the last ten
years and has lived and worked in
every continent except Europe and
North America.
He came into his money the day he
became 21, and immediately made
tracks for parts unknown. Reports
of him have always come accidental
" from those who have happened to
meet him. He has written but one
letter since he left home, and that
was received within fortnight by
his married sister, Mrs. j. B. Thorn
as, of Boulder, Col.

In lunatic asylum should I have at
tempted to gallop one of these birds
down.
When in Damaraland I had in nv
employment n BASTARD named
Swartz. He was plucky fellow, an
excellent hunter and up to the wiies
and trickery of every description of
game. number of gemsbok had
beeen seen about the wagons at
break of day; so, after providing
himself with a goodly piece of
biltong and drinking cup OF cof-
fee, he proceeded to the westward in
the hope Of adding some fresh meat
to a reduced larder. About midday
he returned, looking anything but
the happy darby who had so gayly
departed few hours before. Natu-
rally demanded an explanations
reason for this sudden change; but a
long time elapsed before 1 received
an answer, and then his tongue was
only loosened by my giving him a
large tot of Cape smoke
I'm unusually good stalking ground
he came across some gemsbok with
a fine old cock ostrich in their So
ciety. Such bird being worth e1oo.
he resolved to do his level best to
get within as short a range as possi-
bic of the prize. With the utmost
care he wormed himself from one
ant hill to another, till he all but
considered that success was a GER
tainty. Then he rested, to see that
the powder was up in the nipple of
his old muzzle-loader and to replace
the old cap with fresh one, but.
while thus engaged, he CHANGED to
look behind him, and to his horror
discovered that while he had been
stalking the ostrich he himself had
been stallled by two lions, at the
moment not 30 yards in his rear. In
the excitement the gun went of, not
aimed at anything, but probably the
fusillade saved my henchman's life.
for the lions, on hearing it, rose from
their crouched position, stared at
him for a few moments and then
slowly retired. How he was followed
80 far without being attacked I can
only account for by his being clothed
and in such an unusual position that
the lions mistook him for some un-
known beast"
