Some sort of storage facilities ara

They allow fruit to be carried over a

useful to the fruit grower, however,
when it is kept in his own possession.
or at least within his own manage

buyer and speculator-often remark
ably so. 1t may be safely said that

First Drainage Work In England.

First Drainage Work In England
While the theory Of deep drainage
of water meadows and swamps BY
open bitches was advocated as early
as 1850 in book published by Capt.
Walter Bligh, there seems to have
been no general adoption Of the prac'
tice Of drainage until more than
century later. says Drainage Journal.
In 1764 Joseph ELLINGTON, a poor
Warwickshire farmer who had come
into possession by inheritance of q
farm so extremely wet as to be of lit
tie value, conceived the idea Of drain
ing it If possible. His first expert
ment in this direction proving sue
cessful, he continued until his whole
farm was dry and furnished good pas
ture for his sheep, which had before
died from disease caused by the wet
ness of soil.
From this he was employed more
and more widely by surrounding
farmers to drain their wet lands, and
for period of over thirty years he
gave his time to this work, and many
thousands of acres of marsh and
Doggy land were transformed by his
skill into land the equal Of any IN the
kingdom. He seems to have had a
peculiar faculty, not generally pos
sessed, for locating hidden springs
and underground currents Of water.
which enabled him to lay out drains
with marvellous effect. although ne
was man without any education.
Towards the close Of his life Par
lament, at the solicitation of the
Board of Agriculture, voted him 1000
pounds sterling as reward for his
discovery. The board also appointed
Mr.. John tombstone, an educated
Englishman, to study Elkington's
methods and learn from him the prin-
ciples which governed his work, that
he might reduce them to writing Tor
the benefit of others, something Elk
ington was too illiterate to do.
This tombstone did, but either Elk
ington did not choose to make pub
lie his knowledge, or tombstone did
not succeed in grasping his Ideas, Tor
when Ellington died, shortly after,
his system of drainage seems to have
died with him, and no one has since
been able to apply his methods with
his success.

one way, plant row Of raspberries.
l have practiced this for the last ten
years and grapes and berries have
both done well, shading the ground
the latter part of the season, SO that
very few weeds grew. l commence
cultivating in the spring as soon as
the ground is in condition to work
and cultivate about once week, SO as
to keep the ground mellow and free
from weeds. l never allow weeds or
grass to grow among my grapes and
berries. A horse and finetooth cult.
vator do the most of the work, ana
very little hoeing or wedding is neces.
sary; just little close around the
roots. l can set my cultivator wide
or narrow, so as to run close to the
rows.
l have my berries staked and one
wire two and one-half feet high on
each side of the row, SO that they
do not hinder the cultivation Of the
grapes at any season Of the year that
it is necessary to cultivate For my
grapes | set posts twelve feet apart,
in the center between the vines. The
posts are eight and one-half feet long,
set two feet in the ground and six and
one-half feet above. Be sure and get
good posts at each end Of the row. Cut
a notch in the top of the first post and
one near the ground in the second
one, and put in a good brace. The
center posts need not be so good, as
it is very little work to replace one,
pull four staples and the wires are all
loose. l use hedge posts now and do
not think l will ever have to replace
any Of them. l never saw one rotted

Years went by, and often l wished for
the day when I might see those splen-
did ruins. At last my wishes were
fulfilled; | found myself along by the
Rhine.
The water was placid and a
perfect blue; the banks were covered
with splendid vineyards and many
ruins, and still l was disappointed.
This was probably because saw the
Rhine after the glorious lake of Luz
cerne. And yet, notwithstanding that
l was disappointed, the river is lovely
from Biebrich to Cohlentz. For miles
the high hills are covered with we'll
arranged vineyards, broken in places
by tumble-down. picturesque ruins.
The first interesting town passed was
Mainz, best known as the birthplace
of Gutenberg, the inventor of the art
of printing with movable type. Not
far away is the town of Bingen and its
adjacent island, where stands a
crumbled round tower known to
children as once having been the
home of miser who was tormented
with mice. Close by is the town of
Rudesheim, which is proud of its new
statue commemorating the victories of
1871 and also is celebrated for it's eX-

A NOTE OF WARNING
DANGER SIGNAL SOUNDED BY
NEW YORK FlNANCiER.
But the Real Evil Is In the Enormous
over.capitalization Of Property
and This Mr.. Vanderbilt Is Very
Careful Not to Mention.

Frank A. Vanderlip, ex-assistant
secretary of the treasury, and now
vice president of the City National
bank of New York, has sounded q
note of warning.
There is, no doubt, need of warn
ing if warning can possibly be infiu-
entail in restraining those excuses
and correcting those errors and evil
practices which are carrying us Tor
ward too swiftly to the elimination
of an extraordinary epoch of what
is commonly called prosperity. But
there is reason to question whether
the things which Mr.. Vanderlip spe-
oially warns us against are the things
most fraught with danger.
The things to which he most earn
estly directs attention are, first, the
great decrease in our exports and in
crease in our imports of merchan-
disc since 1898; and, second, the
too rapid conversion of liquid capt.
tal into fixed forms of investment
The first of these things is a nat
ural consequence of transition from
one of great industrial activity. In
times of depression prices are low In
the country where the depression
exists, and 1t is a poor country to
sell in and a good one to buy in. AS
activity increases and prices rise
under the influence of foreign as well
as domestic demand the country be-
comes a good one to sell in and a
poor one to buy in.
This explains the fact stated by Mr..
Vanderlip that our imports have in
creased more than S300,000,000 since
1899, while our exports have decreas-
ed very greatly-more than 100000
900 last year. The net importation Of
more than $105, 100000 in gold in 1898
of which he speaks, was first con-
sequence of the transition in its
earlier stage and then cause of the
greater rapidity of the transition
afterward.
From this 1t will be seen that warn
ing Is futile as a means OF changing
ne course of foreign trade. The
economic forces work on in spite of
all warnings.
The same is true as to the warn
ing against the too rapid conversion
of liquid into fixed capital. One might
rs well take his stand on Goat Island
and shout warnings at the waters
rushing to the precipice of Niagara.
The thing most fraught with danger
Mr.. Vanderbilt does not mention at all.
1t is the enormous decentralization
of property, which has gone on to the
extent of at least $4,000, 900 dur
ing these years of prosperity.
The men who have availed them
selves of the opportunity afforded by
prosperity to pour all this water into
the market are the men who need to
be lectured or more energetically
death with.

Packages for Fruit.

The question of fruit packages Is
one that has received a great deal OF
attention from our fruit raisers. 1t
Is very important one, as in It's
solution lies large part of the ques-
ton of profit and loss. A package for
fruit must be as cheap as possible, as
1t Is to be given away with the fruit.
On the other hand, 1t must not be so
cheap that it will permit the contents
to be injured in transit or in subse-
quent handling. Professor Waugh
says that the gift package is peculiar
to the American trade, by which we
may infer that in other countries the
fruit is changed into the package
brought by the purchaser of the fruit,
or that the purchaser of the fruit
purchases the package in addition to
his fruit and at regular figure. 1t
is certainly desirable to have uniform
packages and ones that shall not be
under suspicion of the purchaser. Re-
Gently the bushel box for apples has
come into quite wide use. These
boxes are very serviceable in certain
kinds of trade. Where the grocer can
buy them in large quantities and have
them delivered to his customers by
his own wagon, they are great help
to the trade, as the consumers can
purchase the apples in bushel lots.
But where purchaser in the city
wants to buy apples from producer
at distance, the bushel box Is hardly
as good as the barrel, for the reason
that the cost Of handling the one
smaller package is as great as that
for handling the larger package. Thus
1t costs rs cents to haul a box from
the railroad station to a residence.
and 1t would cost no more for bar
rel. On the other hand, the box should
cost less than the barrel, as it can
be made out Of almost any kind OF
wood, while barrel slaves and hoops
have to be made out of certain mate
rials.-Farmers' Review.

Extortion Continues.

The question of tariffs and trust
prices is not likely to subside with the
results of the election. The Baltimore
Sun thinks that the question of pay
ing famine prices for food and fuel
during period of overlooking plenty"
still appeals to voters. They will be
aroused by the fact that the trusts
"still extort alike from the farmer,
the mechanic and the laborer for near
ly everything they use, from a pillow
to a pocketknife, and from corn cut
ter to a carpet, higher prices than are
paid for the same articles by the farm
ers of Russia, the mechanics of ia
pan and the peasants of Germany"

Seeds of Canada ThistIes.

A bulletin of the Department of
agriculture says: Tho Canada this
tie spreads over large areas or trav-
els long distances by means of its
seeds. 1t spreads into patches by
means of its perennial running roots.
Both of these means are effective in
their way. Perfect seeds are not
often produced till after the plants
have become well-establisheG and
have spread to some extent by the
running roots. In some localities in
Wisconsin and Iowa close observa-
ton of the plants for several years
has failed to discover perfect seeds.
The plants appear to be somewhat err
ratio in this respect. In 1894 very
few perfect seeds were found at
Washington, while in 1895, nearly
all of the plants bore perfect seeds,
though such were produced by less
than half of the flowers in each head.
In 1896 the plants were again seed
less. All three seasons wero exceed
ingly dry for this region. In 1899, an
abnormally wet season in Washing
ton, they were seedless, and no seed
lings were found in the spring of 1900.
There were no apparent fungous or in
sect enemies to account for failure
to produce seeds.

TARIFF REFoRMER FosS

Struck Down by the Republican Ma
chine-The Fight in Massachusetts
For Free Raw Materials is De.
feated.
The defeat of Mr.. Foss, the Repub.
iican candidate for Congress in the
Eleventh district of Massachusetts
was, without doubt, due to the active
opposition of the Republican machine
nf that state, of which Senator Lodge
is the leader. Senator Lodge openly
opposed the nomination of Mr.. Foss
in the district convention and used
all his skill as a delegate to defeat the
adoption of the platform which de-
cIarea for free coal, free hides, free
wool and other raw materials.
In spite of the machine and Sena-
tor Lodge, Mr.. Foss was nominated
and the tariff reform platform
adopted. This rebellion against the
party machine and the protection
fetish, which it worships had to be
stopped at all hazards. and it was
accomplished by the lavish use of
money furnished, it is said, by the
Protective Tariff League and the
Home Market club.
Senator Lodge being the chosen
adviser and lifelong friend of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the fight in the Mas
sachusetts district is given a national
importance when the national admin
filtration is pretending to favor some
reform on the tariff. The action of
Senator Lodge would strongly indi-
cate that any real reform of the tariff
IS not intended by the Republicans
and that free raw materials will not
he conceded to those manufacturers
who are demanding it. If this small
lie expected that the greater reform
of the tariff, for which much strong
or demand exists, to place trust prod
ucts on the free list, will be even con-
sidered?
A sop may be added by recon-
mending that anthracite coal be
placed on the free list, which would
not relieve the people unless bltumi.
nous coal was likewise Free
Thus the administration and the
Republican party expect to stifle the
demand for tariff legislation that
would hurt the bad trusts, and the
tariff tax will continue until after the
national election.
