AMERICAN APPLES.
ated in All Sections Of
Germany.

Vice Consul Liefeld, at Frieburg, re-
ports to the state department that a
prominent fruit and produce dealer
in the grand duchy of Baden recent.
ly told him that a large demand for
American apples and apple products
could be created in Germany if q
little more care were taken by the
producers and exporters. He said
thatthe dried apples arrive in faircon
dition, but that the e%vaporated apples
do not; nor can they be kept in the
market for any length of time, for
they soon become moldy and decay.
The dealer suggests that the apples
should be thoroughly evapor-
ated and then properly packed for
the export trade. He says there is q
great demand for American evapor.
ated apples, and if they a be re-
ceived in a better condition there are
prospects of a still further increase
of trade.
He also referred to the ~unsatis-
factory condition in which raw apples
are often received, and suggested
that the same care should be taken
in handling and packing apples as is
used with oranges. If they were
packed in paper or in layers of straw
it might be a guaranty of their arriv-
al in sound condition.
If these points are taken into con
s%ideration this gentleman claims that
the market for American apples and
products thereof will be enormously
enlarged.

POIsoNs FOR INSECTS.
Pure Paris Green or Green Arsenoad.
Applied in Liquid Form, Is
Always Effective.

1t will soon be time again for using
poisons to kill all sorts of injurious in
sects. The first application 1 have to
make usually is on my fruit trees, to
prevent the ravages of bud worm,
cigar-case bearer, etc., and to be effect
i've the applications must be made very
early, or as soon as the buds begin to
open, and repeated soon after. Paris
green has for many years been my
main reliance as an insect poison. If
pure and properly used it is reliable
enough and harmless to the foliage. I
have always preferred to apply it In
liquid form, and if used in this way the
addition OF lime surely prevents in
jury to the foliage, liable to occur
through the action of the free acid in
the Paris green. For two or three
years, however, I have used green
arsenoid in place of Paris green, and
always had very satisfactory results
from it. This newer poison is lighter
than Paris green and stays in suspen-
i in water, requiring far less CON
slant stirring" and besides is much
cheaper. So long as I can get such re-
suits from arsenoid I shall use it in
preference to Paris green. But where
the latter (being more available in
most out-of-the-way places has to be
used there is need of caution in order
to get the pure article. Some of the
samples of Paris green on the market
are reported to be badly adulterated,
and if this is the case best results can
not be expectedf from their application,
and much loss of labor may be caused
thereby. Be sure you get a genuine
article. You may make your purchase
now and testit. In New Yorkstate the
Geneva experiment station, I believe,
offers to test any sample sent to it,
free of charge. But each buyer and
user of Paris green may just as we'll
help himself. Pure Paris green dis
solves perfectly in strong ammonia,
giving a beautiful clear blue liquid.
Put a little Paris green in a vial or
small bottle, pour a little strong am
monia over it, cork it up and shake up
well. If the clear blue liquid is OBJ
tanned without mud-colored sediment
you may be sur that the Paris green
is all right.-Farm and Fireside.

let the row of bushes be arranged in
small clumps four feet apart in the
row and protected by such trellis as is
shown in the sketch. Inch and a half
stuff is used for lengthwise and up
right supports, while the clumps of
bushes are held in compact shape by
Two pieces of lath at each clump. At a
distance of four feet the tops will
nearly meet each other, while the
stalks at the ground can be worked
about with ease.
I would cover the entire ground be-
tween the clumps and between the
rows, if there are two or more of
these, with coarse meadow hay put on
thickly. This keeps down the weeds
and many berry sprouts and keeps the
ground always porous, moist and cool,
conditions that are especially attrac-
tive to raspberry and blackberry
plants. Once a year this mulch will
have to be renewed, as it gradually de-
Gays and becomes worked into the soil,
adding humus and making the earth
lighter, more retentive of moisture
and! richer in the material that the
berry plant requires as food.
Practically, then, the only cart the
bushes need is an annual pruning and
mulching. A little attention now and
then to the few struggling weeds and
shoots that force a way up through
the thick mulch will, of course, be re-
CURED, but first and last there will be
less work in this way of caring for the
bushes than by any other that is orr
dinarily practiced. The gradual dying
out OF once thrifty bushes that one
sees in so many farm gardens is due
almost wholly to lack of proper thin
ming out and pruning and to the chok-
ing OF the bushes by grass and weeds.

S LONG as the American
Derby exists as the fea-
tu1e of western turf sport,
breeding and racing inter-
ests in this country rep
resentinp millions of dol

lars in investments, will be certain OF
popular support.
There are other derbies, but they
lose in comparison with the great
June event in Chicago, which rises
far above the everyday possibilities
of the ordinary hossrace to the dig
nifty of the two great events abroad
the Grand Prix of Paris and the
English Derby of Epson Downs,
which it SO closely resembles.
The American Derby is a race for
glory. The course at Washington
park, made famous by the speed con-
tests of American and imported thor
oughbreds, is that upon which re-
sound the hoofbeats of the very best
from noted sires and dams. Here the
horses that may have run and won
elsewhere come to show that they
are of real Derby caliber. 1t is the
best horse to win, and naught could
tempt owner, trainer or jockey from
the strictest line of honesty. Even
royalty has been represented among
owners who prize a Derby winner
above any other. Multimillionaires
from all sections of the country, who
willingly pay fabulous prices for
horses with which to win this event,
have seen their %favorites beaten by
horses of owners who needed the
stake money to pay feed bills.
Gen. Phil Sheridan, the first presi-
dent of the Washington Park club,
rarely given to newspaper interviews,
said when the track was opened:
"The races here are to be purely
for the sport that is in them. Derby
day is intended as an event for the
pleasure of all. 1t is also a summer
festivity to bring out all the people
to enjoy the fresh air and a health
full, interesting pastime. Legitimate
h~orseracing is a sport to be cult
waited anywhere, everywhere and at
all times in season. This is the kind
we shall have at Washington park
track"

Aneorn Goats ns Browsers.

A close observer will notice there are
many upland or mountain farms that
have some pieces of pasture too dry
and perhaps too rocky to yield a profit.
The past few dry seasons have brought
in bushes, briars and weeds that have
robbed the land of tame grass for the
making of good quality of butter.
Such cheap land pasture is where the
angora goat will thrive best, as thew
prefer bushes and briars to grass, and
will thrive and grow fat where sheen

HOME GARDEN T
How Discouragement and Failure
with Berry Bushes May BE Sue
cessfully Avoided.

One finds scores of country gardens
where an attempt has been made in
previous years to cultivate the rasp-
berry, the blackberry, or, perhaps,
both, and where encouragement and
failure have resulted. A Country Gen
tleman correspondent thinks it is pos
sible so to order a few rows of berry
bushes in the family garden that they
will produce fruit year after year with
little attention, given at the right
time, and he offers the following hints
to that effect:
The old canes or the poorest of them
must be cut out each spring. The new
wood must be thinned to a proper de-
gree and the tops of all canes cut back.
This is but a few moments work each
spring. Now, to save all labor possible.

clared that he never had the slightest
regret for the time and money he
had given in making the Derby a
turf and social success. This is also
the feeling of the men who have
stood behind Secretary Howard and
the club directors for IS years with
check book in hand, ever ready to
make up any deficiency. in conducting
these annual meetings at which owe
100000 has alone been distributed in

But Derby day has a greater sig
nificance to western people than
mere horseracing. It is the Vanity
Fair of the summer season for the
wealth and fashion of the great
western metropolis. And it is thor
oughly democratic as well for the
thousands from the great middle
classes r interested.
Michigan avenue, the fashionable
Chicago boulevard, with all it's trib-
utary side streets of the aristoc-
racy, present a scene on Derby day
unrivaled in America. Like a gor.
geous braid of color, the vehicles
loaded with those who have all that
money can buy and art bestow move
out over these streets to join the
boulevard procession as the pageant
with music and horn and bugle moves
on to the racing scene at the course.

with tan tops, the autos which this
year will play a very important part,
as the Chicago Automobile club will
turn out with $50 machines, the color
effects of the stylish dresses, sun
shades and millinery all combine to
make it seem as though the boulevard
had caught the end of a rainbow and
rolled it out along the road. And, as
this symphony of colors is carried
through the track gates and onto the
infield, as carefully kept as any lawn,
for it contains a magnificent golf
course, the scene from the clubhouse
and the double-decked grand stand
seating $4,000 people, makes Derby day
just different from the ordinary boss
race. Then to those on the infeld, as
the spectacle is reversed to those in
carriages which stand a dozen deep

stand with it's solid sea of faces, and
the spacious eXpanse between it and
the track with its tidal wave of hui

general effect that even the lads who
throng the 81" structure just out
side the grounds would not swap

tied in the ninth inning and none out.
The races lose nothing of sportive in
