A Prolific Hen.

Alfred Nelson came into our sane
tum on Saturday with hens egg
that weighed but 92 grains. While
the hen that laid it is one of his choice
blooded stock which has record for
large eggs, of which she lays one each
day, this small one being laid in addition
to the regular output. He claims the
distinction of possessing the greatest
hen in this section, and says he has
been breeding for this particular point
for a long time, and hopes by little
more care and training, to accomplish
his end receiving two of the average
sized eggs from one hen daily; and pos
sibly better.

A Writer of Missouri Tales.

r. E. Young, whose novel, "Sally of
Missouri" is announced by Mcclure,
Phillips & Co., for fall publication, has
an admirable short story in the Sep
tember McClure's, called ''Penangton 8
Love Affair."" story of unusual psy-
Geological grasp and dramatic power.
The characters are boldly drawn Mis-
souri, types, gentlefolk OF southern an
cestry-Miss Kate Carew, her dissolute
brother Marty, and her lover, Major
Masterson The major is a fine figure
ofa man, whom Miss Kate, with her
brothers example before her, will not
accept until he shall sign the pledge,
which the major, on principle, as
stoutly refuses to do. These three act
out little drama of passion and love
that makes one look forward to the
longer work with real anticipation.

our nine, and were beaten by score
of 6 to in five inning game. 1t was
a very disagreeabe day. The contin-
ued rains of the previous two days left
the grounds in bad shape, necessitating
a short game. 1t is said the visitors
were fairly good ball tossers, played
and looked like men, and had the
weather been favorable the game would

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent

NHToW ouT LteyttuT COTFeSpOHueHtJ
Washington, August 81, 1908.
Editor Press
AS soon as the news from Beirut
was received, Secretary Hay hast
ened to Oyster Bay to confer with
the President and after the confer
ence which also dealt with the sit
uation in Colombia and the pros
poets of the Panama canal treaty,
Mr.. Hay determined to come at
once to Washington, thus curtail-
ing his vacation by several weeks.
Reports from Bogota seem to indi-
cate that the chief obstacle in the
way of the treaty is the pride of
the Colombians and it is by no
means certain that, after delay
sufficient to satisfy the spirit of the
Legislators, the convention will not
be ratified. This, at least, is the
hope of the administration. Mean
while, DIR. Herran, the Colombian
d'affaires, has been instructed to
subscribe to a press clipping bureau
and to forward to the Colombian
CongressionalLibrary extracts from
all the American newspapers
apropos of the treaty. 1t is argued
here that when the Colombians see
how many newspapers urged the
immediate abandonment Of the
Panama Route in favor of the Mic
araguan-Costa Rican route, that
too will have salutary effect.
Secretary Shaw has greatly re-
lieved the apprehensions enter
tanned by leading financiers, by de-
vising a method whereby he will
be able to deposit in the national
banks a fund of not less than $40, =
100000 if the movement of the
crops this fall is attended by a
money stringency. According to
the Secretary's explanation, he be-
gan last fall to gather the internal
revenue receipts into fund to
meet just such an emergency.
These receipts have been aggre-
gated so that there has been no
intermixture of customs receipts
and the Secretary believes, there
fore that he has all necessary auth
ority to use the internal receipts to
relieve the banks if the occasion
arises. 1t is, moreover, the inten-
tion Of the Secretary to accept
state and municipal bonds as col
lateral for the deposits of the in
ternal revenue funds as was done
last year when the stringency in
Wall Street became acute. 1t was
not the intention of Secretary
Shaw, however, that this source of
relief should become known at this
time, as he feared that his ability
to relieve the situation might be
discounted, but the facts leaked
out and now the Secretary will ex-
plain his plans in an address he
will deliver in Chicago this week.

Oysters and Disease.

In recent scientific work by Profs.
Herdman and Boyce, entitled "Oys-
ters and Disease" they report the re
suit of their Investigations on the
cause which produces green oysters
Many epicures prefer their oysters to
have the emerald hue, though there
is a widespread opinion that green
oysters are not edible.
The investigators arrive at the con
clusion that there are several forms
of greenness- Copper is said to be
present in minute quantity in all oys
ters. 1t was found that the greenest
American oysters contained about four
times the amount of copper which is
present in the whitest American oys
ters. Careful chemical examination
demonstrated conclusively that there
is proportionately more copper in the
greener parts of the oysters than in
those parts which are less green. The
green color of the highly priced Mar
ennes oysters was found to be pro
duced by the presence of a certain
pigment and did not depend upon the
amount of the contained copper.

lecturing a few summers ago at the

Cut 1-Unpruned One-Year-O1d Peach
Tree.
wholly unsuited to the habit of the
trees. Such orchards are often fail
ureS.
Peaches develop from buds that are
formed the previous year, and nearly
all of them occur on the previous
years growth of wood; hence, nearly
all the peach crop can be destroyed by
heavily pruning back the young
branches after growth for the year is
completed. We can take advantage of
this fact when pruning the peach tree
and thin the fruit at the same time.
Sometimes late frost might come and
destroy another large per cent of the
fruit buds, thus lessening the fruit
crop to an undue proportion. Where
late frosts are liable to occur and the
orchards are small so that they can be
pruned in a short time, it may be od-
visable not to prune OF the young
limbs until after the fruit crop is
set.
If the ends of the limbs are not
headed back the fruit will be borne
further away from the trunk of the
