Local Differences.
Local differences which grew out OF the
utilization of the different organizations
OF carrenters with the two central bodies
developed some time ago. As the result
of these differences it is said that one
Of the organizations of carpenters repre-
scented on the executive board was eX-
PEELED from the Central Labor Union.
Since then it is said that the officers of
the Central Labor Union have sought 10

All Plans Completed.

Commodore Sutton has completed his
plans, and will probably take personal
command of the feet. The first work will
be devoted to the breaking of the ice the
full width of the river to q point below
Alexandria, and the forcing of the mass
down stream.
After clearing the river to Alexandria
they will return and work their way up
the river to Georgetown, clearing that
section of ice. The varying of the wind
has permitted the ice to again form in
the Washington channel, and yesterday
morning there was skim almost an inch

AMERICAN APPLES.
Steady Demand for Them Can he Gre
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
~ told him that a large demand for
American apples and apple products
could be created in Germany if a
little more care were taken by the
producers and exporters. He said
that the dried apples arrive in fairco
dition, but that the evaporated 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 more thoroughly evapor-
ated and then properly packed for
the export trade. He says there is !:
great demand for American evapor-
ated apples, and if they can 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-
sideration this gentleman claims that
the market for American apples and
products thereof will be enormously
enlarged.

THE FARMERS HOME.
If shou1d ne CHEEKY and X refine d and
Placed Amid the Most Pleasant
surroundings.

It should be the aim of every farmer
to provide himself and family with
comfortable surroundings. The home
should be bright, CHEEKY and refined.
It should be in fact the brightest spot
on the whole farm. It should be the
place where the father, after thc
evening meal, may take his paper and
the mother, after the little tots are
tucked in bed, her work, and sit down
and enjoy their hard-earned rest, or
talk over the events of the day. Make
it an oasis in the children's lives. Give
them every opportunity possible for
an education. Furnish a family Ii
brary well stocked with the best OF
litera ture and if the child is of a class
ical turn of mind, he or she will soon
acquire a knowledge of all branches
of study. After making the home in
wiling and entertaining on the inside
we should give our attention to the
outside surroundings. We should
build good fences, have nice grassy
lawns and pastures free from weeds.
The cattle should be sleek, the swine
fat, and the horses plump. There
should be driveways between the rows
of trees. and walks laid to every out
house. If possible to construct it, a
large fishpond, with rustic summer
and boathouse near it would be de-
light to the children and an incentive
to their doing their share in making
the home happy. One of the chief
causes of the boys leaving the farm is
the disorderly homes and surround
ings frequently found on the farms.
We should strive in every way to make
our neighbors enjoy life. Organize
libraries and form literary societies,
in fact, do anything that will relieve
| farm life of its dull monotony. and
when we have done all that lies in our
| power we shall feel that we have
fought good fght.-M. H. Mertins, in

water supply in Trees.

Look at the wonderful manner in
which nature has contrived supply
for thirst in hot countries. He has
placed amid the burning sands of
Africa a plant whose leaf, twisted
around like cruet, is always filled
with large glassful of cold water.
The gullet of this cruet is shut by the
end of the leaf itself so as to prevent
the water from evaporating. In the
same hot land God has planted y
great tree, called Boa by the natives,
the trunk of which is Of great size
and followed like cistern. In the
rainy season it is filed with water,
which continues fresh and cool in the
greatest heats, by means of the crest
ed foliage which crowns its summit.
In some of the parched and rocky is
lands of the West Indies there is
found tree, called the water lianno,
SO full of sap that if you cut single
branch Of it as much water pours
forth as a man could drink at one
draught, and it is perfectly pure and
good.-The Culver.

POISoNS FOR INSECTS.
Pure Paris Green or Green Arsenoid,
Applied in Liquid Form, II
Always Elective.

It will soon be time again for using
poisons to kill all sorts of injurious in
sects. The first application 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: 1t
pure and properly used it is reliable
enough and harmless to the foliage. l
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-
sion in water, requiring far less ''con-
slant stirring" and besides is much
cheaper. So long a 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 cam
not be expected from their Applicant
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 York state 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 well
help himself. Pure Paris green dis
solves perfectly in strong ammonia.

Put little Paris green in vial or

This low down, roomy cart, is one
of the handiest wagons on my farm.
It costs but a trifle to make. Take
two cultiyator or other wheels, tighten
the tires, and weld on square rod to

box is to be made, and with drop as low
as you like the box to rest when hung

FIVE inches from the ground. Make
these cross or bottom bars from hard
wood, one inch thick, three inches
wide, and the rear one long enough
to project eight or ten inches over
each side of box on which to set good
,race irons, as shown, with an inch wide
strap iron inside of the same length,
with bolt passing through bottom bar
to carry the weight of the rear on the
side boards; also one each side in
front. The floor should be laid with

Anger. Goat, a. Browsers.

A close observer will notice there are
many upland or mountain farms that
have some pieces of pastare too dry
and perhaps too rocky to yield 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 they
prefer bushes and briars to grass, and
will thrive and grow fat where sheep
will starve and cows cannot live. An.
CORA goats are very prolific, will live
about three times as long as sheep and
their mohair will bring about three
times the price of common wool.-G.
H. Bloodgood, in Farm and Home.
