APPLE WEIGHING 10 OUNCES.
1t Came From "the Land Of the Big
Red Apple" But it is Yellow.

Southern Missouri has been called
the "Land of Big Red Apples, +" but
the color distinction will have to be
changed if there are many specimens
of fruit grown there like some re"
eeived yesterday by Kansas City
man. The apples were sent by Daniel
Carpenter, a fruit grower whose or
chard is near Clinton, Mo-, in st.
Clair county. They are all large ones,
but one of them weighed one pound
and three ounces. 1t was 13i inches
in its largest circumference and 13i
inches measured around from the
stem. 1t is called the pound pippin
because most of the apples of the
variety weigh about one pound. Its
color is golden yellow with shading
toward light green. The favor OF the
fruit is fine. Its texture is little
coarse, but the meat is ey.-Kansas

It's keeping watch at recesses
And stopping the boys who tight.
It's patiently hearing forever

Its showing Jack to make figure
And Susie to hold her pen.
It's trying to see in their scrawlingS

It's going home with the sunset,
Oft times with heavy heart
With the fear Of some und0ne duty,
OF not having done your part.
It's round Of Wearying duties,
of lying awake at night,
Thinking Of plans without number
And trying to tell which is right.
It's closing your eyes In slumbeT
With thought of the day that L

Feeling you've tried to do something

Oldest Nan in Missouri.

William Latliff, living near Wanda
liza, Audrain county, is said to be the
Oldest inhabitant Of Missouri. He re-
Gently celebrated the 102d anniversary
of his birth. He was born in what is
now West Virginia and lived there
until he was Is years old. Most men,
when they reach that age, have be-
come pretty well settled in their
habits, and do not like moving; but it
was then that Mr.. Ratliff came TO
Missouri. He first settled in Pike
county. He worked constantly until
he was 81 years old, and is still, as be
says, "a stout old man." 1t is curious
how the minds Of old people dwell on
the events Of their childhood, and
surprising and amusing what incl
dents they recall to tell something
that happened when they we're young.
Such a request was made recently Of
"Uncle Billy" and this quizzical story
of his school days is what he told:
"Once when the teachers back was
turned toward the fire, Josh Bell, a
rather smart young fellow, about %
years Of age, kissed Betsy Young, a
girl weighing, should say, nearly 200
pounds. Betsy, with what is known
as a back-banded lick, knocked Josh
right out into the middle Of the floor,
The teacher gave Josh a terrible
whipping, aud | always thought that
the teacher did wrong.

Don't Get Fooled. Bob. "

The insurance companies did not
raise their insurance in Mexico on ac-
count Of the license paid by the local
agents. There is no objection to this
tax. The rate was raised on account
Of SIS per year charged for the COM
panies doing business in Mexico. When
this tax is taken Of Mexico will be re-
rated, and there will be a material re-
duction Of the insurance in force in
the business part of the city.-Mexico
LEDGER
The above clipping is from Bob
Whites Mexico LEDGER Now, Bob,
We have passed through the same
thing. Sturgeon taxes the companies
aud the companies made this an ex.
cuse for raising the rates. They sent
their representatives here and told
the business men If the tax was re-
paaled a re-rating would be made.
The tax was taken Of and you should
see the charges. The insurance com
panles are still robbing our people
that is some Of them. The non-board
companies are doing the business here
now. You viii not get any relief, Bob,
IL you take the tax 0if.-Sturgeon
Lender.
Fetter Bros, of Kansas City, In q
personal interview with the editor Of
the LEDGER a few days since positive
" promised to make a material reduc-
tion in Mexico insurance if this tax
was repealed. The insurance com
panies get a great deal more money
out Of this than does the city Of Mex
leo. OF course, as usual, the property
owner foots the bills.

BUDS, BIRDS AND BUGS.
A Brief History in Three Chapters,

Thirty years ago spraying fruit trees
was almost unheard of. The thousand
and one insect enemies OF the Horti-
culturist had not arrived--in force.
The orioles and robins nested in the
tree and the sparrows and brown
thrushes in the hedge rows. There
were plenty Of birds, plenty Of bugs
for the birds and plenty of buds and
fruit for the boys.
II.
Last week Mr.. Edwin II. Riehl en-
phasized the point that spraying
thoroughly was the only safeguard for
a good orchard crop. Spraying is now
a science, and requires capital, know
ledge and infinite pains. Successful
fruit growing means a continuous fight
against insect enemies. There are still
plenty of bugs and plenty of boys; a
little fruit, but where are the birds.
III.
In the report Of the Missouri
Audubon Society, published in BIRD
Lore" the organ Of the Audubon
societies, for August, it is stated that
song and insectivorous birds have de-
creased 62 per cent and game birds 50
per cent in the State Of Missouri
during the past fifteen years. Are the
song and game birds to follow the
buffalo and Indian to extinction:

Pour Crons in One.

CARTHAGE, Oct 5.-That alfalfa is
the twentieth century hay seems to
be demonstrated by a field owned by
Ed Hall, farmer near this city. Mr..
Hall sowed l7-acre field last fall and
in June the first crop was harvested,
netting two tons to the acre. On
July Is a second crop was gathered,
averaging two tons. Sept, the third
crop was gathered, and unless the un-
expected happens a fourth crop will
be ready within week.
Thus eight tons per acre will have
been gathered from the field, totaling
1876 tons. At IS per ton, the local
price, Mr.. Han will make s1,0ss from
