Farnsworth staggered backward. let

reeled, the blood spun out, but he did
not fall although he grew white.
Father Beret sprang nimbly to sus-
tain Farnsworth, snatching up the
pistol as he passed around Alice.
You are hurt my son." he gently
said. "Let me help you" He passed his
arm firmly under that Of Farnsworth,
seeing that the captain was unsteady

Fruit Marketing and Storage.

Some of the most pressing and impor-
tant questions relating to the friit in
dustry are those that grow out Of the
present tendency in horticulture to pro-
duce each fruit in that section where it
can be grown best or to mature at A cer-
tain desired time, even though that To-
cality be thousands of miles from the
market where the product will be con-
sumed. These problems may be charac-
ter.zed as those relating to marketing
and storage. Their solution lies lit the
foundation of development of important
export trade in fruits, and is hardly of
less moment in connection with that
portion of the crop which is used at
home.
Some of the questions involved are
with regard to the best methods o. har-
vesting, grading and transporting each
fruit, with reference to accomplishing
its safe and economical delivery at its
desired destination; also with regard to
the suitability of the variety, packing
and package, to the needs of the con-
sumers, who are to be the purchasers If
profitable trade is to be built tup. These
questions are of especial importance in
connection with the export trade, and a
series of experimental shipments IS be-
inc made to obtain light upon these
points.
Through these experiments, which have
been conducted on commercial scale,
chiefly through the ordinary channels OF
trade, it has been demonstrated that the
Bartlett pear. choice but perisbable
fruit, of which there is frequently so
large surplus in our eastern states as
to depress prices to a point where tne
producer receives little return fot MS
labor, can be successfully and prof lably
shipped in refrigeration across the AT
lantic and sold at prices that yield a
good net advance over home value.
Elberta peaches from Georgia and
Connecticut, and several varieties OF sum-
mer apples from Delaware can be and
ed in London in prime condition when
the climatic conditions at time of ship
ment are favorable; and they are likely
to meet with good demand at fair prices,
1t is gratifying to note that CONNER.
cial shippers are following the WORK OF
the department along these lines with
keen interest, and preparing to make ex-
tensive shipments of such fruit as are
found capable of profitable handling in
this way.
A notable event of the year was the
inauguration of direct shipments of
American winter apples to Paris through
the instrumentality of the department.
As was anticipated from previous, in
vestigations made by the department,
rasset varieties were found to have
preference to red apples in that mar ket,
and where sound and free from blensish
were in good demand at high PRICES.
The opportunity to develop trade in Ibis
line appears excellent.-Secretary Will

Hints on Buying Grain Feeds.

The inspection of feeding stuffs dur
ing the past winter has brought to notice
a number of common adulterationS. A
few of these can be readily detected by
the purchaser if he will makea careful
examination of the material, and some
of the principal ones are described in
recent pamphlet of the Rhode Island
station.
The usual adulterant of cottonseed
meal is the hull of the seed. This adul-
terant was formerly easily distinguished
by the black appearance, but now the
huls are so finely ground together with
waste cottonSeed that they can be recog-
nized only with great difficulty.
Gluten feed has been sometimes sold
as gluten meal. As the meal contains
from eight to ten per cent more protein
than the feed, one should be sure THAT
he is really obtaining gluten meal.
Gluten meal is homogeneous, yellow,
granular substance, and its general
appearance is quite different from that
of the feed.
In one case dried distillers' grains
were being sold as gluten meal. Judged
by the analysis, the distillers' grains are
as valuable as the gluten meal, yet the
fact that they were being sold as a glu-
ten meal constituted fraud. 1t would
have been easy enough to have dlsnn-
guished them from gluten feed, our 10
sell them as gluten meal was even more
absurd Distillers' grains are much
darker than gluten feed, and for the rea-
son that gluten feed is made entirely OF
corn refuse, and the distillers' grains OF
a mixture of cereals, the two can be
distinguished by the barley hulls which
are found in the distillers' grains but
not in the feed.
Some of the ''mixed feeds" found
upon the market have been found to be
grossly adulterated. A guaranty is re-
Guired in Rhode Island for this class OF
goods, if not composed solely of pure
wheat bran and middlings, and it is
proposed to see that the manufacturers
and dealers comply with the require
ments of the law.
If coarsely ground, the hulls, corncob,
etc., used in adulterating "mixed feees
may usually be detected by taking
small handful of the feed and spreading
it in thin layer upon the palm of she
hand; if finely ground, however, The
corncob is difficult to distinguish. II
hulls are present they will appear as
small, shiny PARTICLES, much lighter in
color than the brown particles OF the
bran. In this case care must be taken
not to confuse the germ of the wheat
with the hull, for the germ is one OF the
valuable parts of the feed. Its color is
nearly like that of the hulls, its high
content of fat giving it glossy appear
ance. The hulls, however, are hard and
not easily broken, but the germs are
soft and can be split easily.-Mirror and

shallow but thorough tillage after plant
ing. Heavy soils are improved by fall

THE FAMOUS MizPAH.

Tonopah has four or five of the greatest mines in the world. So much that is exaggerated and unreliable has been said about the celebrated Mizpah that a brief description of this wonder ful mine seems necessary at this time. The present workings of the Mizpah exceeds SO,00e feet in aggregate length, and more than 600so feet of these workings are iu Oce. The 800 foot level is 1850 feet in length and is in ore the entire distance. The ledge Is in no place less than five feet in width, and in many places the ore body is from ten to eighteen feet in width, with no walls. This ore will average moro than s100 ton, and much of 1t shows assays running from $500 to $10@0. At the eastern end of this level, 800 feet from the shaft, a ledge has recently been opened up that is ninety feet in width, and this entire ore body will mill $75 a ton. A winze on the 400-foot level shows a vein five feet wide, that will average $1.000. The S50-foot cross-cut to the Valley View shaft cut score of lodges from five to twelve feet b width that carry ore of a very high srsde-even for the Aizpah.
 An eminent mining expert who in spected the mine last December. said to the writer:
 "I am amazed. If Mizpah shows as much ore between the 50O and TOO foot levels as is now in sight between the 300 and 800 foot levels. it will double the population of Nevada. Sam c. Dunham in Sunset Magazine for May.
