AMERICAN APPLES.
Steady Demand for Them Can BE 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
1y 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 faircon-
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.
1t Should BE CHEEKY and Refined and
Placed Amid the Most Pleasant
Surroundings.

1t should be the aim of every farmer
to provide himself and family with
comfortable surroundings. The home
should be bright, CHEEKY and refined.
1t should be in fact the brightest spot
on the whole farm. 1t 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-earncd 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
literature and If the child is of a class
zeal turn of mind, he or she will soon
acquire a knowledge of all branches
of study. After making the home i'm
viting 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,
large fishpond, with a 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 it's dull monotony, and
when we have done all that lies in our
power we shall feel that we have
fought good fght.-M. II. Mertins, in

warming up" of the derby horses,
sees the starter cross the field to the
half-mile post, and finally hears the
bugle call for saddling. Then comes
the parade past the grand stand and
the canter to the starting post.
Every vantage spot is now taken.
There are the usual false breaks, the
recalls and the scolding and pleading
by the starter with tricky and over
anxious jockeys for fair start.
Finally there is swish of the flag
and the great crowd takes up the
cry, They're off, The horses come
laundering down the stretch on the
first turn past the grand stand,
horses and jockeys equally intent to
win the check for $4,000 which the
presiding judge will place in trem-
bling hands within the fractional
part of three minutes. But those lit
tie hands do not shake now. With
wrists and arms like steel the mid

Cheered by frantic cries from $4,000
threats, each for its particular ia
vorite, horses and riders round the
quarter-mile post and from this point
the race is really won. Glasses are
now in the hands of eager spectators
who see only flashes of color along
the backstretch, and now the hoof-
beats keep time with the heart
beats as the race is nearly done.
There is brief interval, and then,
as the number of the winner goes up
on the judges stand tremendous
burst of applause breaks from the
crowd. Men swarm out upon the
track, the immense floral horseshoe
is brought out and into it the sue
cessful jockey is placed, to be carried
in triumph past the grand stand and
into the paddock to the jockey room
to be again cheered by his comrades.
And in its enthusiasm the crowd
would carry off the real Derby win
ner-the equine hero of the day.

PoISONS FOR INSECTS.
Pure Paris Green or Green Arsenoid,
Applied i'm Liquid Form, LIS
Always Effective.

1t 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, 1 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 as 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 application,
and much loss of labor may be caused
thereby. Be sure you get genuine
article. You may make your purchase
now and test it. In New York state the
Geneva experiment station, 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,
giving beautiful clear blue liquid.
Put a little Paris green in a vial or
small bottle, pour 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 sure that the Paris green
is all right.-Farm and Fireside.

HONS GARDEN NOTES.
How DiscOurngement and Failure
with Berry Bushes May BE Sue
cessfGIIy 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 proper de-
gree AID the tops of all canes cut back.
This is but few moments work each
spring. Now, to save all labor possible.

act as a Judge in the first Derby

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 over
S5OO,OO0 has alone been distributed In

mere horseracing. 1t is the Vanity

rolled it out along the road. And. as
this symphony of colors is carried
through the track gates and onto the

seating $4,000 people, makes Derby day

Water Supply in Trees.

Look at the wonderful manner in
which nature has contrived a 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 filed
with a 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 n
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 it's summit.
In some of the parched and rocky is
lands of the West Indies there is
found q tree, called the water Hanno,
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.

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 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 care 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 or
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.

Men bald through ages, raising nigh
Their gilGed towers and their spiftsi
They store the rain from out the SKY,
To give the plain what it requires;
They harness up the roaring stream,
And take the strength OF tre ana stream
Men change the mighty rivers course,
And rob the mountain Of It's treasure;
To men the tide resigns it's force,
Men use the lightning for their pleasure;
Spurred by ambition and by greed
Man shapes the earth to suit his need.
Men proudly crown themselves as kings,
And ohe rules over many others;
Men crowd and crush for worldly things,
Each striving to eclipse his brothers,
And here a towering Morgan stands
And there a Rothschlld crooks his hands.
Men rearrange Gods work; they take
From this and add to that and wonder
How He in building came to make
So many an awkward slip and bunder;
Men big with wealth, to pity blind,
Forget the ties that ought to bind.
Men puffed with pride assume to keep
Within their charge all worldly power,
When 10! their work Is buried deep
BY Gods hard in one dreadful hour!-

And all the world is kin once more.

that neither man has attained the

Jones is "on the WIRE" and goes to

wasted some seconds or minutes per-
haps of his valuable time. Smith onthe
other hand has lost no time. He could
have saved Jones the waiting by direct
ing his boy to call up Jones' office and
ascertain if he were in. Receiving an
affirmative answer, he could then have
stepped to the telephone and called for
Jones, waiting himself until Jones re-
sponded. But in that case Smith
would have waited, and Smith doesn't
care to stand around any more than
Jones does Little vexations, like
great problems, depend SO much on the

MyAE breeding and racing inter-
- ests in this country rep
resenting 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 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 first
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
horseracing is sport to be cult
waited anywhere, everywhere and at
all times in season. This is the kind
we shall have at Washington park
