ORCHARD EXPERIMENTS.
A Prominent Granger's Methods of
EstnbIishing Orchards.

A Prominent Granger's Methods of
Establishing Orchards.
George T. Powell of Client, n Y, Il
formerly the head of the school of
practical agriculture at Briar Cliff
Manor. n. Y, is conducting some yalu-
able experiments on his Orchard
Farm relative to establishing orchards
and their care. His practice has been
in recent years to purchase trees of
strong vigor like the Northern Spy on
which choice varieties have been top
worked He has practiced the selec-
ton of buds and their graftinS for
fifteen years. Two thousand trees
were planted last spring, all Of which
were top worked by selecting buds
from the choicest bearing trees from
orchards in various sections of the
country Mr.. Powell is believer in
heading down trees, starting them
within eighteen inches of the ground.
The chief reasons for this are to bet
ter meet the conflict with the San Jose
scale, the greater ease III thinning out
the fruit on low headed trees and their
advantage in case of severe storms.
He also favors the introduction of
dwarf trees. He has imported a very
choice English variety known as the
Cox Orange Pippin. Mr.. Powell keeps
the soil in his orchards III high state
of cultivation by blowing under clover
annually.

The Ideal Fafr.

While many of the old time agricul-
tural fairs are drifting away from
their original purpose. the turn of the
wheel brings rs to the grange fairs
which in many instances are now the
ideal agricultural fair Managed with
slight expense, they bring out genuine
sociability and instruction in way
that is extremely profitable.

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANZA.

The extrava gance of the present adj
ministration is a difficult matter for
its apologists to explain First, there
is the deficit for the fiscal year 1894
of over $41 ,000,0 900 staring them in the
face, which has reduced the available
cash balance in the United States
Treasury to the zero point, SO that
Secretary Shaw will probably have to
again call on the banks for another
installment of the cash they hold and
on which they pay no interest 1t is
all very well to call the payments for
the Panama Canal an extraordinary"
expense and so excuse the present con-
ditions There are other expenses that
this administration has piled up that
are equally extraordinary that no ex-
cuses can palliate or gloss over
Take the expenditures for the year
before the war with Spain, when the
Democrats were in power and the ap-
preparations made by the Republicans
for the present year, and the extrav-
agance of the present administration
is at once apparent.

This makes SIT, 100000 more this

as much. What excuse can the Re-
publican apologists offer for such
vast increase. and how do they pro-
pose to further tax the people to sup

COLLISION AT SEA.
Schooner Struck OF Barnegat Light
Captain, Wife and Two Sea-
men Drown.

New York, Nov. 12.-Capt. Robert
Walton, his wife and two seamen, lost
their lives Wednesday night off Barne-
gat light, when the United States sup
ply ship Culgoa cut down the Norfolk
lumber schooner Wilson and Hunting.
Three members of the crew, the mate,
cook and q seaman, were rescued by
the Culgoa and were brought here Fri
day. The accident occurred, according
to the survivors, about seven o'clock
in the evening. The schooner was ten
miles west Of Barnegat, lacking off
shore, when she was struck by the Gull
goa, which was making for New York.
The steel bow of the supply ship struck
the schooner nearly amidships and cut
half way, throwing the smaller vessel
on her beam ends. The Culgoa kept ON
at full speed. with the intention of
keeping the schooner fastened to its
bow until the crew could be rescued.
The gaping hole in the side of the sail
ing vessel was SO large, however, that
it slid off to one side. A boat from
the Culgoa rescued three men. No 9TH
ers were seen and it is thought that
Capt. Wilson went below after his wife
when the collision occurred and that
they were both drowned, with two sea-
men. who were in their hunks. The
Culgoa stayed by the capsized schooner
all night and at daylight Thursday
morning lowered two more boats, but
the sailors were unable to discover any
signs Of life on the wreck.

The governor says that the industry
is fast becoming one of great CONNER
cial Importance. Eleven years ago Jo-
siah Harbert. of Phoenix, imported IL
ostriches from South Africa and placed
them on his farm. The birds gradually
became acclimated and as their care
was more thoroughly understood they
began to thrive. The Matching was
done by means of large incubator and
proved very successful. One feature of
the experiment was that the birds in
the Salt river valley grew several
inches taller than the African ostriches
and their feathers were of a finer quail
ity. When full-grown the Arizona os-
tfieh stands eight feet high and weighs
200 pounds. In describing the ostrich
enterprise and the character of the
product. the governor says:
The male has black plumage and
the female drab, the male producing
rich, glossy feathers, far superior in
quality to those Of the female. The
feathers are plucked every eight
months and are sold as high as SIPS
a pound in eastern markets. AS much
as a pound of feathers is taken from
one bird at a single clipping. The
principal food of the ostrich in the
Salt river valley is alfalfa and they
are allowed to run in large pastures,
where they feed contentedly and fat
ten easily. The industry is advancing
and the climate of the valley seems
to. be particularly adapted to the sue
cessful raising of these birds"

THE DEFEATED CANDIDATE
Judge Parker Will Not Again Seek
ofice-Discusses Campaign-Har-
EN mony Urged.

Esopus, N. Y, Nov. 10.-Judge Parker
has given to the press an open letter,
addressed ''To the Democracy of the
Nation" In which he thanks those in
charge of his campaign work, and de-
clares that the people will soon realize
that "The fairfield trusts are absorb
ing the wealth of the nation" He said
that when that time comes the people
will turn to the democratic party for re-
lief. In this letter Judge Parker says
he shall never seek nomination for
public office. He discusses the difficult
ties encountered by the democrats in
making their campaign this year, and
makes suggestions regarding harmony
in the party. In conclusion, the judge
says that in the presence of defeat he
does not hesitate to say that in his opin-
ion the great moral question that con-
fronts the democrats is shall the trusts
and corporations be prevented from
contributing money to control or to aid
in controlling elections?"
Judge Parker said that his plans for
the future were not definitely made, but
that soon he would be In harness again.
It is generally believed here that he will
engage in the practice Of law in New
York. forming partnership with some
well established firm.

corps is equally punctilious in paying
them. On account of the war between
Russia and Japan the relations of the
ambassador and minister are necessa-
rily very strained and they avoid
meeting each other as much as posi-
BILE. The etiquette of the corps, how
ever, requires greetings between these
diplomats if they should meet in any
public place and the rule is observed,
but not with very good grace.
Both the diplomats have business at
the state department and on Thurs
days, which IS diplomatic day, the en-
counters between them are sometimes
amusing. The Japanese minister has
been known to prolong his visit to Sec
rotary Hay in order to keep the Rus
sian ambassador cooling his heels in
the reception room, and sometimes
Count Cassini get in ahead of Takahira
and then the little Jap has to wait
with as much patience as he can as
sumo. Occasionally they meet in the
reception room or in the corridor,
when the Jap makes his most formal
bow, and the ambassador, with his
English monacle in his eye, returns
the salute rather frigidly.
An arrangement has now been effect
ed that will prevent encounters be-
tween the distinguished diplomats.
The Japanese minister hereafter will
call at the state department in the fore
noon and transact his business, while
Count Cassini will do the same in the
afternoon, and thus they hope to es-
cape each others presence. Cassini is
slightly near-sighted and Takahira is
hard of hearing. One of their first en-
counters after the breaking out of the
war was at the white house, when Cas-
SIM thought Takahira had not bowed
to him. When he took the latter to
task the little Jap replied: "Mr. Am
bassador. I did bow to you most mark
edly."

thus marked and it is expected that
they will afford a sound basis for max
ing deductions.
The tagging of these fish is inter-
esting. The tag is a small piece OF
metal securely fastened by wires to
the dorsal or the anal fin or to the gill
cover of the fish. The tag bears num-
Der so that the fish will be recognized
when afterwards caught The expert
ments are intended to supplement the
previous work of the bureau along the
same lines.
1t is the purpose to show conclusive
ly what percentage Of artifcially
Matched salmon return to the rivers;
the length of time the fish remain at
sea; ;the extent to which salmon re-
turn to the parent stream or wander
to adjacent streams; whether the
young of Sacramento river and Rogue
river salmon, when planted in the Co
lumbia basin will go back to their ma
tive streams in. any noteworthy num-
bers; whether the young Of the late
runs of salmon return only as late fish
or as both early and late fish, and vari-
GUS other important practical facts.
The cooperation of Gamers, fisher
men, anglers and citizens is earnestly
solicited in making these experiments
of value. They are requested that
whenever a marked salmon Is caught
the date and place Of capture and the
weight should be noted and this infor-
