OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS.
Experiences of Successful Patrons of Husbandry Told for
the Benefit of Ambitious Farmers


There is a general expression of
crops of apricots and peaches, can
ming fruit of those varieties will be
relatively scarce. There is no doubt
that Gamers are carrying over large
stock, and that they will be exceed
ingly rigid this year in enforcing
their contracts specifying size, and in
weighing back fruit which falls below
it. No frnit-grower can complain of
this or of rejection for greenness or
overripeness or blemishes when de-
livered. The grower is bound to de-
liver what he sells, and many seek
not to do it, What grower has the
right to insist upon is that he shall
be paid full price for fruit delivered
according to contract, and that if it
spoils afterward the Gamer shall
stand the loss. There Is just com
plant against many Gamers for let
ting fruit stand until it softens and
then weighing it back. If growers
would only cooperate properly
which they won't-they would unite
in appointing an Inspector to act for
them, and definitely settle the quail
ity of fruit as each load is delivered.
Meantime every effort should be made
to properly thin the fruit so that it
will run to full size. S. i. Chron-

A LineaI Descendant.

The fruit that grows on the genealog-
ical tree is generally dry, but occasion
ally has flavor of humor. "Sylyanus
Urban" tells In the Cornhill Magazine
story which Is good enough to per
petuate. One need not question its au-
thenticity too closely.
A man applied to the herald's college
for coat of arms. In such case 1t Is
pleasant to be able to borrow one from
a celebrated ancestor. The man In
question could not remember anything
about his great-grandparents, and
therefore, of course, could not mention
any achievement by them which could
be used as the basis of coat of arms,
But the official to whom he applied
was not easily discouraged.
"Haye you not done something your
self?' he asked.
Nothing, fear" said the man. add
ing as a pathetic antithesis that once,
having been locked In Ludgate prison
for debt, he had found means to escape
from an upper window.
"And how did you get DOWN.
81 got cord. fixed it around the
neck of King Luds statue. and let my
self down."
aust the thing! There you have 1T
honor enough. Lineally descended
from King Lud. His coat of arms is
good enough for you'll"

LARGE EGG TRADE.

When we talk of millions of dozens
of eggs and the millions of dollars
made from trade in them, the average
person of California who sees only
those of the country store puts it
down as a newspaper lie, and believes
that it cannot be. Following are
few of the great commercial uses to
which eggs are put:
Calico printers buy from five to
eight million dozen eggs year in the
United States, mostly bought in New
England markets.
Coffee roasters, manufacturers OF
photograph supplies, cracker and bis
cult makers and the chemical trade
are estimated to use in the United
States $4,000, 900 dozens year.
II is claimed that one biscuit firm
in New York buys four thousand
dozen eggs per week, or more than
two hundred thousand per year.
Twenty million dollars worth of
eggs were exported last year, and the
amount sent from the United States
makes small show in comparison
with those sent from Canada or
France to England.

At the time when John G. Carlisle
was senator from Kentucky his
speeches were widely printed and at.
tracted a great deal of attention. One
day when the senate was In session a
mountaineer from the widest wilds Of
Kentucky presented himself at the
door and asked to see Senator Carlisle.
The visitor wore homespun and leather
boots and was travel stained and dus-
ty. He explained that he had read Mr..
Carlisle's speeches and considered
them great. and had walked more than
n hundred miles In order to see the
senator from his state. Mr.. Carlisle
was busy at the time, and the clerk in
formed the visitor that he could not be
disturbed. The farmer looked disap-
pointed and seemed reluctant to de-
part. Finally he asked IL he might be
taken where he could just catch a
glimpse of the great man he had walked
sn far to see. The request was grant
ed, and Mr.. Carlisle was pointed out
to him. After a brief scrutiny the
farmer turned to the attendant:
Reads n heap better'n he looks" he
remarked sententiously, and prepared
TO walk back home.-New York Times.

POULTRY ON FARM.

Every farm is incomplete without
poultry, both from beauty and utility
points of view. As to what that flock
shall consist of depends upon the
owners ideas, resources and convent
ences. Poultry keeping allows of
such wide divergence in plans and
tastes that all, from richest to poor
est, amateur and financier, can find
ample scope for all the ingenuity they
can bring to bear on the business and
still find room for Improvement. The
pocketbook must first be considered
and the owners taste can ultimately
be gratified, for, once started, no
matter how small the beginning, by
careful and judicious management
large results may be obtained; how
large no man can tell, for the limit
has never been reached. Cockerels
not needed for breeding should be
fattened and sold.

PEAR BLIGHT RESISTED.

The following interesting paragraph
is from the Weekly Tulare Register
Thomas Thompson, who has little
place in the outskirts of Tulare, had
a pear orchard of thirty five trees or
more that was early attacked with the
dreaded blight. Mr.. Thompson did
not know what to do to defend his
trees, but unlike many others, he
thought that he must do something
and not surrender without striking a
blow, so he went into the orchard and
cut out the infected limbs as soon as
he detected the infection, cutting
away below the blight and squirting
bit of coal oil from a common oiler
on the freshly cut stub of limb. The
result is that he has the best promise
of crop in the neighborhood and not
a sign of the blight at this time is to
been seen anywhere in the orchard.

HOW DO THEY GRADE BUTTER ?

The New York Mercantile Exchange
has promulgated the following score
card for the use of the inspector in
his grading of butter: Flavor, 40;
body, 25 color, 10; salt, 10; style, 8.
The subject was taken up by the but
ter committee, which canvassed the
trade thoroughly, and as a result
reached an agreement embodied in
the foregoing scale. Very little
difference of opinion was ELECTED on
any of the points except that of ia
vor and color. The score cards in
use at the dairy conventions gener-
ally give so points to flavor and 10
points to color, but the trouble expe-
rienced in the New York market from
the receipt of large quantities of mot
tied butter in the winter time in
duced the committee to allow a more
liberal percentage to color so that the
inspector could make as large a cut
as he might deem necessary breed

Taylor Caught a Tartar.

The ready wit of Southern women
was the subject of comment at recent
gathering, and numerous illustrative
anecdotes were told. One had to do
with a Virginia belle Of generation
ago-a member of the Clark County
Taylors, famous In the social history of
that State. Her betrothal to worthy
gentleman by the name of Mason had
been announced at formal luncheon,
and one young gentleman, whose hopes
with regard to her had been crushed
by the announcement, greeted her
thus:
May 1 beg to assure you that l am
always yours in spite of the fact, Miss
Taylor, that hear you are to change
your vocation for that of Mason?"
She regarded him contemplatively
for a moment and then replied:
II am quite certain of that, for, hav-
ing found a goose, may decide to re
main a Taylor. "-Philadelphia Times.

PROPAGATE BLACK RAspBERRIEs.

The process is very simple, and
call attention to this subject because
the work should be done early in Sep
TENDER. The long branches reach the
ground about this time, when the tips
can be covered with shovel of earth,
or the method | usually employ Is to
use the spade, which is pushed into
the ground the entire length of the
blade, then the handle crowded for
ward. An opening is thus formed in
the earth, into which the dip is in
serted. As the spade is drawn the
plant is quickly and easily covered.

quite sure to root in two or three
weeks regardless of dry weather. l

pRoPPING UP FRUIT TREES.

Recently saw peach tree in
farmers front yard loaded down with
fruit. The farmer had carefully
propped each limb with crotched
pole. The first thing that the novice
in fruit culture thinks of when his
trees are In danger of being broken
down with an overload of fruit is to
prop up the branches. But this prop
ping up takes as much time or more
than picking off half or more of the
surplus fruit But thinning off fruit
does not appeal to the farmer, He is
greedy to get all he can from his
trees. The fact is, he can get more
pounds of fruit by thinning than by
propping. Do not fail to thin the
fruit on peach, pear, apple, plum,
etc, doing the work early, when the
fruit is less than half grown. But
better thin later than not at ALL.

ScoURGR OF RouP.

When your pullets go blind and
their heads swell, and there is yellow
matter near the corners of the eyes,
you can safely assume that they have
roup. 1t is one of the greatest scour-
ges that can attack a flock. The
cause is usually attributed to unclean
surroundings, which may have existed
for some time, but slight cold will
render the fowl more sensitive to
these conditions, and this foul dis
ease breaks out. 1t is very conta-
gious, and prompt action alone can
save the entire flock. The sick fowls
should be separated Immediately from
the rest of the flock and the sanitary
conditions of the place should i'm
prove forthwith. Add few drops of
kerosene oil to the drinking water of
the sick fowls and feed nourishing
foods. A still better way will be to
chop the heads off the sick fowls, and
bury them out of sight, unless they
are valuable fowls which you are anx-
ious to save. If that be the case,
then you should have given them
more clearly quarters, for roup sell
dom appears where the premises are
kept clean, warm and tidy.
When you find that you really have
case of roup on your hands, take
the fowls all out of the house, clean
it thoroughly and then disinfect it by
burning sulphur and carbolic acid in
it for an hour or two. Scatter Stacked
lime about the house and yard and it
will be all the better if a little tur-
pentine and carbolic acid be added to
this. If you want to doctor the sick
hens mix equal parts of sulphur, alum
and magnesia and dust their nostrils,
eyes and throat with a small powder
gun, if you have one. IL the nostrils
are clogged they should be kept open
by injecting little crude petroleum
in them 1t is bad thing to handle,
as you will be convinced before you
are through. Keep the premises in
good order and you are not likely to
be troubled with roup.-Nick's Maya
zine.

SALT TO KEEP HOGS HEALTHY.

Salt and water is a mighty good
thing for keeping hogs healthy, said
an old-timer when the subject was
preached by one of the party. He
kept them from water at frequent in
teryals until they got so dry they
would drink anything and then in
yited them to grand throat irriga-
ton of good strong brine. The worms
never got a chance to get a hold on
the internal economy of those hogs,
and the brine speedily settled their
hash. That taught me the value OF
salt as curative agency, and II 1t
was used more freely there would be
fewer sick hogs in the country. -

Certain species of electric fishes have

mysterious powers TO them both of

tions of the east In times past were
also conscious of its powers. Hum

turing this eel practiced by the East
Indians, which consisted in driving
horses into waters inhabited by the
eel and allowing the cells to exhaust
themselves by attacking the borses
with their electric organs, when they
were easily harpooned by the Indi-

same parts where Humboldt says the
custom was practiced have denied the
report, and it is now not generally be-
lieved. However, the electric eel has
been known to those people for centu-
