 The Times this morning says that within the last ten days the North Ger man Lloyd line and the Hamburg Amer ican companies having freely accepted the Antwerp cargoes for Japan consist ing of electric cables, machinery, iron ties. wires, plates and light rails which were refused by British companies on the ground that they might be sus- pected of being cOntraband.

New Serial In MecIure'A

In the November McClure'a, Stewart
Edward White begins q new serial
which reveals new power and breadth
In his uniformly splendid work. Out
of the great northern forests Of The
Blazed Trail" and the snowy wastes
Of THE Silent Places" he has moved
his scene of action to The boundlesa
plains and painted deserts of Arizona.
He sees and feels the beatty and the
awe Of the desert as he does of the
forest, and is able to make his reader
share this insight and pleasure with
him. The story he tells here Is the
desert vivified, flaming with its color.
poignant with the sense of its immen-
sity In this strange, weird, and stu
pendous setting he lays his plot and
""ro'ls tala simple and deem It L.
the story Of the coming together Of
the Big Man OF the Wilderness and
the Little Woman of the Town-how
the desert, picturesque and romantic
to him, terrible and repellent to her,
affects their lives and fate.

MICHIGAN Fruit Belt.

Prof. l.. r. Taft, of Michigan, in an
address said: The expression mich.
igan fruit belt" or Michigan peach
belt" is often heard, but many per.
sons have an incorrect idea If they
think that the only place in the state
IN which peaches can be grown sue
cessfully is in the tract to which the
ABOVE terms are commonly applied,
which Is a strip from five to twenty
miles In width extending along the
east shore Of Lake Michigan nearly to
Mackinaw. Scattered ali through the
southern portion of Michigan there
are thousands of orchards, many of
them or considerable size, which are
nearly If not quite as productive as
In the famed peach belt" The diff
ference is that, away from the influ-
ence OF the lake, the peach can only
be successfully grown upon ridges
where good air drainage can be Sc.
cured, while in the counties along
Lake Michigan little attention need
DC paid to the elevation, provided the
SOIL Is not wet, and, hence in the
peach belt large proportion of the
land Is given up to peaches.
The prevailing cold winds are from
the west, and, as they pass over the
broad and deep waters of Lake Michi-
gan, which never freeze, they are
tempered, so that if forty degrees be-
low zero in Wisconsin, it is seldom
more than ten degrees below zero in
Michigan within five miles of the lake.
Even in that section it has been
thought that only the more elevated
portions should be used for peach Or
chards, but less attention is now
given to the matter Of elevation. as
thousands of acres of comparatively
low land and level land have during
the last ten years been set to peach.
es, and the trees have been fully as
productive as upon the higher land
In the interior counties of the state
the mercury occasionally drops IN
twenty degrees below zero. and IN SO.
Letting site for a peach orchard the
first thing to be considered is its ele-
walton above the surrounding country
Good results are obtained in all ex.
posures, hut especially towards the
northern limit for peach culture q
northern slope is preferred. While
there are objections to both eastern
ard western slopes, they are less seri.
GUS than those against a southern ex.
pCsure.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 31.-(Spe-
cial.)-There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of l. N. Whipkey of Rheu-
matism. She was great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodds
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other chill
dren do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. II
the Kidneys are right there can be no

quently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
pey Pills make the Kidneys right.

growth far in advance OF any non
leguminous plant. II given good
supply of moisture during the first six
weeks of its growth, it will withstand
and continue to grow vigorously dur
ing the severe summer drought. II,
Ike the COW peas, should be sown
AFTER the danger Of spring frosts, and
VIII probably give the best returns
when sown in drills, with the seeds
dropped singly about three inches
apart the rows being from two to two
and half feet apart
Mr.. lSdward e. Evans of West
branch, Mich, who has been growing
soy beans for green manure, forage
and seed, writes regarding their cul-
ture as follows:
"On rich soils COW peas and true
peas run to vines, producing very lit
Tie seed. On such soil the Soy pro-
duces proportionately larger crop of
Dotn plant and seed. In growing
Soys the same general rules that ap.
ply to white field beans should be fol-
lowed. 1t must be borne in mind,
however, that Soys form their first
pods about four or five inches from
the point at which the seed was plant
ed. For this reason they should be
covered only deep enough to insure
termination. They can be planted
with corn or bean planter, or grain

The Growing of SUGAR Beets.


The sugar beet is not very particu-
lar as to the soil in which it grows
and has wider range of service in
thls regard than have the grains. The
pest SOIL Is one that Is rich and loamy,
out as a general thing any kind Of
SOIL That will produce grains will pro-
duce beets. Soils that have in them
SO much alkali that they will not pro.
duce good crops of grain may yet pro.
duce good crops of beets.
Flowing may be done either spring
or fall, but the better plan is to pillow
IN the fall. On some of the lighter
SOILS subsoiling to depth of eighteen
lnches is practiced. When the plow.
ing Is done in the spring it should
be just before planting that the soil
may be fresh and moist for the re-
ceptlon OF the best seed. Subsoiling
is IN vogue in some parts of the coun.
try, but has not seemed to give very
satisfactory results in others. At the
Colorado experiment station subsoil.
ing increased the yield eighteen per
cent.
The time to plant is as early as the
land can be well fitted and the dan.
ger OF heavy frost is passed. 1t is
generally conceded that early planting
gives the largest crops. When the
SOIL Is in good condition the seed may
be planted to depth of from one
men to an inch and half 1t Is not
advisable to plant any deeper than
this. If the soil is very wet the seed
should be planted still nearer the sur.
face of the ground.
There are two ways of planting
beets, one in single rows and one In
double rows. The single rows should
be about Is to 20 inches apart. II
double rows are used the usual prac
tice is to have the two rows of the
double row about II or IL inches
apart and have the double rows them
selves from two feet to 81 inches
apart. This is chiefly advantageous
where the beets are to be irrigated.
one OF the difficult things in beet
growing Is to get a good stand OF
Deets. Experienced planters SOW as
hlSh as eighteen and twenty pounds
OF beet seed to the acre, though here
and there good crops have been OBJ
tanned by sowing as low as five
pounds Of seed. The larger quantity
is however safest.
Beets are not permitted to dry out
after being dug, as this decreases the
amount OF sugar in them. Also beets
should not be stored in a place where
they can sprout, as this process about
ruins them for sugar making,

Literary Note,

There are four up-to-date articles IN
the September Success that should at
tract considerable attention through
out the country. They indicate the
growing interest among magazine
readers for authoritative matter about
the great men and the great questions
OF the day. In this line Of work, Sue
cess Is rapidly taking a front place
among the monthlies.
The first is an article by Judge Al
ton Brooks Parker, entitled, "Edu-
Gated Men In Politics." The whole
country has been waiting to hear
Judge Parker say something, and in
Success he has given his views on a
matter of very great Importance He
holds that the men who take only q
general interest in politics, are respon-
sible for the condition that brings dis
grace to the country, and rounds them
up sharply for their timidity.

Change


Mrs. f. Doherty, of No. 115 Coates
street, Moberly, Mo-, is today picture Of
robust health, and yet five years ago. she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. To a reporter she told the
following story
" In 1896 began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. 1t
became finally so delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. NV inability

eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
Kept me i'll bed most of the time I was
really starving to death and besides I was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
ana me no good, and prescribed exercise
which l was too weak to attempt.
"One day when l was so faint and
chilled that could do nothing but crouch
down on the floor by the fire, my father
brought me box of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. 1 found ON trial
that they would stay on my stomach I'M
like everything else. 1 really felt better
after three doses and 1 kept on using
them. Food began to taste we'll and to
stay down. The pain and the burning
IN the pit Of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
165 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. resumed my homework and
have hardly had occasion to call a doctor
since. L have recommended DIR. Will

l say to the pale, thin ones particularly,
II you want to get strong and well take
