WARNS EUROPE TO UNITE.
Andrew Carnegie Says America Will

At st. Andrews, Scotland. Andrew
Carnegie the other day suggested the for
nation of the United States of Europe.
He appealed to Emperor William IF Ger
many as the most puissant Of monarchs
available for the work to take the first
steps necessary 20 accomplish the de-
sired result. Mr.. Carnegie urged 4 po-
litical and industrial! union of the Euro
pean States. Only by means of such a
union, he said. could Europe ever repel
the American invasion nf the markets of
the world; only by such means could Eu-
rope hope to go forth AMI conquer fields
of commerce for her own advantage.
France, Germany and Russia might form
the nucleus about which the new union
could be effected.

having taken the first step toward the
peace of the world in The Hague CON

some day be impressed with the thought
that it is due to himself and to Germany

conveniences for Farmers.

During a recent trip the writer saw
n farmer struggling to lift heavy bas-
ket Of vegetables over the tail board
of a farm wagon After assisting the
old gentleman he was asked why he
did not remove the tail board. THE
durn rod is rusted," was the reply.
There are too many rusted rods on
farm wagons and tools. 1t sometimes
seems as if farmers would 90 without
conveniences rather than contrive some
method of saving themselves work and
time How familiar is the sight Of the
pillow being laboriously h0isted into the
high farm wagon for transportation to
the fields when light stone boat or
sled could be easily and inexpensively
built which would be just the thing.
1t Is easy to keep the rod in the
wagon end in working condition and
also to carry in the wagon a board
down which to slide or roll the heavy
baskets ara barrels 1t is easy to cut

DANES KILL ISLE TREATY.
United States Cannot Buy Lands De-
sired ia West Indies.


The landsthing, the upper house Of the
Danish Rigsdag, has refused to ratify the
sale of the Danish West Indies TO the
United States. The vote was "A tie--32
to 81. The sale Of the islands was APP
proved by the lower house of the last
parliament, but the landsthing rejected
the treaty. In June Of this year Den
mark and the United States agreed TO
extend the time for the ratification of the
treaty for one year. Meanwhile a new
parliament was elected, and it was
thought that there was a safe majority
of two or three in favor of the sale in
the upper house. The lower house was
always Overwhelmingly in favor Of the
sale.
The predominant sentiment throughout
Denmark is undoubtedly pr0-sale, and
the rejection Of the treaty is attributed
chiefly to domestic political effort TO
embarrass the government and bring
about the resignation of the ministry.
The question Of the sale Of the islands
may not remain dead for any length of
time.
When official confirmation of the action
of the Danish upper house in declining
to ratify the treaty for the sale Of the
Danish West Indies TO the United States
was received at the State Department in
Washington. the officials of the depart
nlent expressed Themselves as much els
appointed.
1t is believed hat the Danish people,
the noble classes excepted, are heartily
In favor Of selling the islands. which
have been a continual expense to the

Fan Flowing for Spring Crops.


One advantage of fall blowing is that
it enables the land to absorb and store
up more water for plant use than does
the unplowed solid land. Another is
that 1t dries out quicker, so that it can
be worked earlier in the spring. These
two statements may seem contradlc-
tory, but they are easily reconciled

The Apple Crop.

The apple crop could be made much
more profitable If better care were
taken of the inferior fruit Much of
the crop that falls prematurely could
be utilized in the manufacture of cider
which in turn can be disposed of in
the form of vinegar at reasonable
profit. Wormy fruit should be fed to
farm animals, more especially hogs, as
they not only have feeding value
but handling them in this way tends to
lessen the number of insects IN the
future. Many persons make the mis-
take of leaving thefr orchard down to
q tough sod. In The marketing of fruit
careful sorting is always profitable
In the picking season such apples as
become bruised may be dried and sold
at a profit if not manufactured into
cider. Apples are exceedingly health
full and should be used even to a
greater extent than is now the case.
