soda in the cafe of the Fifth Avenue

A group of reporters surrounded
him. One of the reporters said:

In After Years.

Only a hand organ worn and old
Played meath my Window to-day,
but the tender melody upward rolled
Swept the past years away
Again I saw, youthful and bold.
My love smiling love upon me,
And again that fond story he told.
While the notes chimed plaintively
And as up floats that olden air
lhe passionate tears fast fan,
FOR Hst'ning those echoes rising there
can stiIl the sweet words recall:
"Only to see thee darling,
Only to hear thy voice,
Even its faintest whisper
Would bid my heart rejoice

Catch CronS

Catch Crops.
The following catch crpps are sug-
gested by A. C. Hal1man:
Rape sown with oats tor barley
ABOUT two weeks later than the grain
is sown, at the rate of three pounds to
the acre, and brushed in with weed
er, gives grand pastures in the fall for
nogs AND young cattle. Rape can also
oe soWn with the last cultivating of
corn and when the crop is removed
the young plants grow right along. and
give lots OF green feed in the fall.
Wheat stubble, gang g-plowed shallow
and sown early with oats mixed with
lew peas, barley or rye, also give an
abundance Of fall pasture for COWS.
Rape can also be sown. and gives
nice fall picking. l have sown oat
stubble with rape and some grain and
had good results.
Timothy should always be sown
with fall wheat, even if it be plowed
down right after harvest. The seed
amounts to only a trifle. 1t never
winter kills, and where the wheat is
winter-killed or heaved out the timo-
thy is there, keeping down the weeds,
and at the same time making good
feed.
Rye is an excellent crop to SOW In
the fall for late picking or early pas
ture in the spring. This can be sown
on ground that is intended for root or
hoed crops. 1t makes splendid cover
crop, and where not wanted for pas
ture will add lot of humus to the
soil when plowed down. Some sea-
sons white turnips will we'll pay for
the labor, when sown after a crop Is
taken off. When sown in drills you
can clear the land by frequent culti-
vation
Catch crops not only help to enrich
the soil, but also help to clean it.
With shallow cultivation all foul weeds
germinate; these are picked off
through pasturing, and you are rid of
them.

Rancidity In Butter.


If butter-fat is sealed up and kept
in a cold dark place it will retain its;
normal character and appearance for
many months, but if it is kept in a
VAIN place and exposed to light and
air it will quickly undergo chemical
and physical changes and become
rancid. Ransidity is developed by
oxidation, by which means it loses It's
customary Appearance and smell.
The acidity does not greatly increase
a3 is shown by analysis. There is a
difference between whole butter and
pure butter fat in their becoming
rancid. The rancidity Of the former
is caused largely by bacteria working
on the casein, lactose and other in
But in the case of pure butter fat
there is no bacterial development for
the reason that this substance will
not sustain bacterial life. Two Euro
pean rimenters-Duclaux and Rit-
se:t-have proven that bacteria can
not thrive in medium of pure fat,
and that all changes taking place in
fats are due to oxidation. Air, light
and warmth are therefore the great
factors in producing the rancidity of
pure butter-fat. When pure butter-fat
begins to get rancid it begins to
cnange color, getting lighter. This
action begins On the surface and
spreads downward very gradually till
the whole lump is bleached. With
this change comes lardy smell and
taste. The taste at first acid becomes
burning and pungent. After several
months of such exposure the butter
fat changes into semi-solid pasty
mass.

views of those who may differ from

will do much good. 1t is doubtful If
many editors who are tied to their
offices could do as well as he has
done Some very amusing things get
into our papers occasionally by men
writing on horticultural and agricul-
tural topics when they know nothing
about them. The editor of the Capt.
tai is not that kind of man. The
man who would select apple trees by
taking this list in whole or in part
would have pretty good orchard.
After saying what l have in favor
of the Capitals list l could not give
it an unqualified endorsement The
/ word best" is somewhat ambiguous
as used by the Capital editor. If by it
he means best in quality he certainly
could find very few to agree with him
entirely. Surely no one could be
found who would say that the Ben
Davis is better in quality than Crimes
Golden. There is not an apple in his
whole list of thirty-siX varieties that
is inferior to the Ben Davis when
quality is considered and nearly all
are far superior. The LAWYER Oau-
ver) is a very inferior apple. 1t is
pretty in color, a deep and uniform
red, but it never gets mellow. You
could knock a calf down with it from
the time it is full grown till it begins
to rot. 1t is the same apple as the
Delaware Red; that has been settled
over and over again. ] have them
growing side by side and no man can
tell one from the other. The trees
are identical and the fruit the same
in color and wOrthlessness. 1t sells
better than the Ben Davis on account
of it's brilliant color but is no better
in quality. So from my viewpoint |
the LAWYER would have to come out
of the list of best apples.
But it would doubtless be unfair to
conclude that by best our friend means
quality alone. If, however, he means
the best commercial apples, then l
could not agree with him. The Spit
zenberg is one of the best sellers we
have, perhaps the best except in the
English markets, where the Yellow
Newton takes the lead of everything |
else But | have seen years in which |
the Ben Davis paid me better tree for

AS a rule the Spitizenberg and the
Northern Spy do not bear well enough |
There are exceptional years and ex-
ceptional localities. If in the Kittitas

every year then they are profitable
and especially the Spitzenberg. But !
Sc miles further down the Yakima

season was an exception with the

HORTICULTURE
Ten Best Varieties of Apples
WALDEN


The Capital has had a good deal to
say lately about apples, and has fire.
ouently mentioned it's display gath
cred from the orchards of Kittitas
valley. This collection began in a
small way, but such a keen interest
was aroused in the matter that it
grew by the donations of interested
growers until it assumed larger pro-
portions than had been dreamed of.
The apples, however, have been kept
in a room where the temperature has
been above 60 degrees, and they are
deteriorating very rapidly now and
will soon be off parade.
About eight varieties were put in
the window at first and after the
Capital called attention to them the
collection grew, nutil today there are
thirty-six named varieties, and sew
eral groups have not been named, al
though many were brought in to be
properly designated, and great ma
jority of the "Unknowns" were prop
erly tagged.
During the time these apples were
displayed they have been viewed by
hundreds of persons and where two
or more were met together, there usu-
this fact may be attributed the proper
naming of several groups. The dis
play has demonstrated that in Kitti-
tas valley are to be found today near
ly all the standard or leading varie-
ties of apples. There is naturally a
great diversity of opinion as to which
are the leading varieties of apples In
winter apples the Spitzenberg, by
common consent, is given first place,
but beyond that, it seems to be an
open question, or rather matter OF
personal preference, and in giving the
names of these thirtysix varieties,
the Capital has arbitrarily selected
the first ten named as the leading
and best Issue will be taken with
this claim; and that is what is de-
sired. This paper will be very glad
to receive and print the views of any
person on this sbject, and it hopes
the discussion may take wide range,
because it is the most important ques-
ton before those who expect to en-
gage in the raising of winter apples.
The Capital does not claim to be in
fallible; it's list was not prepared by
any grower, but is given out as its
own, as a challenge to full discus
sion or the matter. Here is the llSC
complete. The ten named first in the

winter varieties in the collection:
