APPLES FOR EXPORT.

European Crop a FaIIure-The Eng
Iish Like Crisp ApDIe-The Box.
All my foreign correspondents agree
that the apple crop of Europe is fail
ure this year and that there will be an
immense demand for American apples
in consequence, says Boston exporter
in American CuItivatOr.
Strictly fancy fruit should be wrap
ped with white or manila paper. Many
growers of fall fruit have found it un-
profitable trying to market such in
years past when packed in barrels, but
with the swift passage of steamers
now and Improved ventilation of the
compartments and the fruit going in
the style of package advocate IA case
holding just about half a barreD, it is
perfectly safe for growers to forward,
and as our fall apples are ready to ship
at time when almost all kinds of
small fruit are very scarce in Europe
there is an enormous sale for them
and always has been when landed in
good condition. My advice to growers
is TO give their apple trees of the fall
Vdf1eIleS ltOFe dlleHtiu dAtN NuttAf q Lc
them. as they will find they will pay
better than winter trees.
The English like crisp apple. Such
varieties as Porter and Williams are
not worth sending, but such as the
Duchess, Alexander, Gravenstein,
Wealthy and the Fameuse Snow are
greatly appreciated.
am confident that the box will soon
be the univ ersal package for apples
and that the barrel is doomed It is a
barbarous package. There is altogeth-
er too much fruit for one compartment,
and much of the contents Of the barrel
is injured by the weight of that above
it. The barrel is rolled and kicked
about, whereas the box has to be car
ried or trucked 1t is too small to be
walked on its ends and too large to be
thrown, consequently it has more care
full handling than the barrel
It looks as if it were going to be a
profitable year for those who have APP
pies, although the crop is not as large
in this country as last year; but, take il
as a whole. it will be a fair one.

The influence Of paper wrappers on
the keeping qualities of apples in any
kind of storage is well known by all
who have kept fruit both with and
without wrappers. Experiments do not
indicate that any special wrapper IS
superior to another. but the use of
some soft paper for the inner wrapper
is usually practiced. This is generally
a tissue paper but imprinted newspa
per is very satisfactory. For the sec
ond wrapper parafin paper is the
most desirable. Sometimes third
wrapper Of common newspaper is used
and for large specimens a thin layer Of
excelsior between the second and third
wrappers is sometimes used.

Prevention Of Egg Hating.

The quickest cure for the habit Of
egg eating in fowls is decapitation for
the table, but oftentimes fowl is too
valuable for this treatment, and it may
be worth while to prepare nest like

bottom of the nest is in two parts. The

It does not seem to dawn upon all
dairy farmers that farm crops sold to
live stock are profitable or otherwise
just as they are sold in town or to a
neighbor. Haven't you seen men spend
a day to secure quarter of a cent adj
vance on pound of dressed pork,
about so cents for each pig, half a
cent on pound of butter or one-eighth
Of a cent on q pound of cheese and a
like small premium upon other prod

day after day were selling material
just as valuable to live stock that rep
resented the lowest market to be

Good Prices For Dairy Cattle.
Four thousand dollars was recently
paid for bull calf in New York state.
This big price was paid because bis
dam had in an official test produced
over thirty pounds of butter in seven
days. When such price is paid for a
bull of any of the beef breeds it is
generally because some one has paid a
big price for his sire or dam or that
the purchaser expects to beat some
rival in the show ring, says J. G. Long
burn in Northwest Farmer In the
state of Wisconsin, now the greatest
dairy state in the Union. HoIsteins are
far in the lead. At a recent sale of an
ordinary working herd one COW brought
81, 400 and a six-year-old bull $780,
while the whole herd of sixty-seven
head made an average Of $213 All of
these cattle were sold on their merits
as actual producers. One Of the finest

POPE FROWNS
ON POLITICS
Christian Democrats Are Ad-
vised That They Must Give
Support to Religious Matters
WRITER'S MUST BE CAREFUL
His Holiness Desires All Ex-
pressiOnS OH Ecclesiastical
Subjects to Be Censored

ROME. Dec. 21-To-night's Osserva-
tore Romano, the Vatican organ, pub
fishes an important document signed
by the Pope on the action of the Cath
Ole Iaity, which is said to be rendered
necessary by the proceedings of the
recent Catholic congress at Bologna,
which showed such opposite tendencies
Of the Catholic Conservatives and the
Catholic Democrats.
His Holiness remarks that divergent
views in field practice easily cause 3di
vergencies in that theory so essential
TO the strengthening of the principles
which must direct Catholic action. The
document quotes nineteen articles and
rules taken from the encyclicals. of the
late Pope Leo on the subject of instrUc-
tions 10 congregations. the following
being the most important:
Christian Democrats must entirely
abstain in Italy from participating in
any political actions, which in the
present circumstances and for reasons
Of very high order are interdicted.'' -
Thus the Pope destroys all hope en-
tertained by the Liberal elements in
the Catholic party that they would be
allowed TO participate in the political
life Of the country.
Other important rules mentioned are
for the direction of Catholic writers,
who must abstain from antagonizing
the views of the Holy See on leading
subjects. They must sumbit all writ
ings concerning religion, Christian
morals and natural ethics to the cen
sorship of their Bishops. and they are
constrained TO do this even in the case
Of publications on mere technical sub
tects. In the case of differences Of
opinion among Catholics, instead of
making these differences public in the
newspapers they must submit them TO
the ecclesiastical authorities, who will
pass upon them.
These rules have greatly dampened
the enthusiasm Of those who hoped that
the present pontificate would be more
liberal than the last one.

POST TEAM PLAYS WE'LL.
The crack Preside post team won the
baseball game on Sunday at San Jose
with the Mayer Bros team of all pro-
fessionals by a score of / to O. The
game was a fine one all through, the
play being very fast. The game lasted
one hour and twenty minutes. The
post team showed up in great shape, the
entire team playing well.
Forsythe'ss pitching was sensational
He struck out 13 men, and only allowed
3 hits off his delivery. He was cool at
all times and never during the game
did he lose his control He also figured
in a very fast double play. The fea-
lures of the game were catches by out
fields Lamb and Cusack.
Conrad did excellent work behind the
bat, and it was due to his superb
catching that Forsythe was able to do
such effective work. His throwing to
bases was of high order.
Manager Joe Wagner of the post
team was naturally proud Of the work
of his colts. A great crowd was in at
tendance and it is very probable that
the team Will play again next Sunday
in San Jose and an excursion may be
planned to go from here for those who
want to see first-class ball played.
A report, widely circulated through
out the Preside yesterday that Cap
tain c. L. Bent had been shot, proves
to be entirely without foundation. At
the time the alleged fracas was sup
posed to have taken place, Captain
Bent was at home with his family in
Alameda. When the rumor reached
the camp of the Thirtieth Infantry it
caused a great sensation and the ru-
NOR rapidly spread all over the post.
Captain Bent returned to the camp
shortly after o'clock and was much
amazed when he was informed Of the
report. He stated he knew nothing
of the affair. nor how such a story
could have originated.

rive From Ord Barracks to
Take Part in Post Sports

The booming Of great cannon in the
vicinity Of the Golden Gate last night
about 8 O'clock startled many residents
OF the city, TO whose homes the thun-
ders Of the guns reached. The firing Of
heavy ordnance after nightfaI is an un-
usual occurrence here. and there were
many inquiries as TO what the dis
charging of the rifles meant.
Night target practice at Fort Baker
was in progress. Every vessel that
passed within range of the powerful
searchlight on the bluff, looming black
above the line OF churning breakers.
was made an object of assault by the
rifles. But the guns were only at play,
like sportive tigers with claws sheathed.
No pr0jectiles were in the shells used.
When a peaceful schooner captain,
beating UP or down past the fort. sud
denly found himself in the glare Of the
far-rea ching light and simultaneously
heard the bark Of one Of the engines Of
death on the bluff. he may have had a
chill and feared some mistake had been
made as to the identity of his craft.
II so. absence of any evidence of a
projectile landing near probably reas-
sured him.

light ferreted out on the tossing sur
face Of the sea for a certain interval
