Carnegie Denounces
Corey In An Interview

PITTSBCRG. Pa. Dec. 1e-It is gen
orally believed here that the mission of
\ a. Corey father OF W. r. Corey.
president Of the United states Steel Cor
poration. 10 New York city. was TO see
Andrew Carnegie. not only relative TO
holding the position as head of the great
Steel trust for the young man. but as
well 10 try and effect a reconciliation
between Corey and his wife
IL is believed that while the elder
Corey was probably successful in the
former that he was unsuccessful I'm the
latter. and that no matter what now hap
pens. the divorce proceedings Will be
carried out. but not on the terms origin
ally proposed by Corey.
Significance of Dinner.
The presence of Corey at the dinner
given by the Steel Master To his Young
partners in New York on Friday night
is not accepted as M gaming anything. As
head Of the grea, steel corporation Mr.
Carnegie could NOT very we'll have ex-
eluded Corey. Ina5much as he had TO
be present. every fort was made by his
irIendS who were there 10 give the I'M
preston that he took one OF the Rrinci-
pal parts in the ceremony. II Is a note
worthy fact. however. that Corey was
not elected 10 any Office by the young
partners
From most reliable source here it
has been learned that the meeting be-
tween =. A. Corey and Mr.. Carnegie
Was very stormy One-that is. a stormy
one on the part OF Mr.. Carnegie. He is
said 10 have denounced Corey in the
most vigorous language for the notoriety
ne mas brought upon himself and the
oteel corporation. and declared that he
IS disgrace 10 the corporation OF which
ne Is the head.
Best of Bad Bargain.
MIR. Carnegie. II is said. has decided
that the w!sest thing 10 do is TO make
the best OF a bad bargain. allow Corey
TO remain where he Is and let the mat
ter die down as quickly and as quietly
as possible.
While Mr- Carnegie agreed 10 dc
this. he positively refused to take any
part looking toward a reconciliation.
His sympdthies are with The wrongeG
wife and he believes that she has every
ground Tor obtaining a divorce ana
should have one. lie does not agree.
however, as TO the amount Corey con-
sented 10 settle Ou his discarded wife

directed with intelligence. Hit or
miss farming does not prove profitable
very long at one time. The farmer
must have a system in his operations
and this is generally secured through
some crop rotation. Any such rota-
tion best suited to general farming,
and particularly dairying on the av-
erage farm, for best results requires
that the plant food shall be available

inches in depth, while 80 to 40 inches

only be secured by providing for the
free admission of live air into the
soil to such depths. The removal of
all surplus moisture from the soil to
such depths is the only means by
which such condition of the soil can.

derdrains, are the best and only means
for removal of such moisture. Such

HOW Ill STARTED
II. E. VAN DEMAN

In September, 1866, when in my
twentieth year, I decided to follow
fruit growing as life work. AS there
were no agricultural colleges in TINS
country then, where theoretical and
practical instruction was afforded TO
young men desiring them, l concluded
to hire myself to work on some we'll
managed fruit farm, before going into
business for myself. In October l at
tended a fair near my fathers home In
southern Ohio and in seeking for in
formation about fruits at the fruit hall
I there had the good fortune to meet
DIR. John A. Warder, who came to see
the fruits of that region. This meet

glided silently along the old Kentucky
shore.
About one-half of this was in fields
pastures and woodland, but the re-
mainder was planted to orchards,
vineyards and berry patches. AS the
doctor was. a most enthusiastic expert
menter, large part of these paintings
were of new or rare kinds, being
grown to test their value, or that he
might observe their peculiarities. He
used to say that the worst disease on
the farm was variety. This was no
doubt true from financial view, as
have found by experience in my own
planting. Many systems Of culture
were tried and the latest improved
tools. A more suitable place for a
young student of pomology could not
be found in the whole country. AL

DRAINAGE ON FARM
II. L. BLANCHARD

Draining farm lands is expensive.
1t frequently costs more to properly
drain the best and most productive
acres of our farms than it did to
clear them in the first place. Not
withstanding the expensive feature of
the work, the writer has in previous
articles tried to make clear it's great
value, and that it pays. Owing to the
expense the average farmer cannot
afford to make too frequent mistakes
in this matter. Now, in this business
there are few things that, at all
times, should be in mind. The why,
the when and the how ought to be
understood in order that our work be

were especially fond of fruit culture
and I doubtless inherited a love for
such work and had some knowledge of
the subject, it was there and then that
my ideas expanded and an impetus was
given my horticultural life, for which
l have ever since been sincerely thank
full.
Among all the advantages l enjoyed
while with DR.. Warder the greatest
was the daily contact with and guild
ance of his own mind. For two years
it was my special privilege to work
under his care and at the same time to
learn the underlying reasons for all
that was done. l was hired as regu-
lar laborer at $25 a month and out of
this I paid for my board and washing,
which left about 81. Six in the morn
ing was the hour to begin work during
the growing season and except one
hour at noon the entire day was spent
in manual labor. On rainy days and
evenings l studied botany, besides
books and papers of pomological ma
ture. There was no royal road to a

by having worked in it, Although the
sweat flowed freely and my back
ached many times, it was pleasure to
work under the wise loving direction
of such a man as Dr. Warder. Many
long tramps we had together search
ing with orchard records and baskets
for fruits to take to fairs, or study and
describe. Even now in my dreams |
imagine that we are somewhere among
the trees or vines on the old farm.

Fall plowing and seeding are in full
swing in the Chesaw country. The ex-
cellent grain market afforded our
ranchers this fall has caused a re-
markable hustle on the part of every
one and a greatly increased acreage
is being either seeded to fall grain
or put in shape for early spring seed
ing. The demand for grain and other
ranch products promises to be as
great next year as at present.

A disastrous fire occurred. between

A disastrous fire occurred, between S
and 8 O'Clock Tuesday evening, in which
the large and finely equipped barn of
Alton Richardson, Jr.. of Clinton, to-
gether with over one hundred tons of
this seasons hay crop, was totally d.
stroyed. Richardson is well known all
through the State as horseman, breed
ing and handling first-class trotting
stock, having had eighty horses In this
barn, last winter. AT the time of the
fire only small number was kept In the
barn and all were saved. 1t is suppos
that the fire originated from spontaneous
combustion, caused by. the heating OF
badly cured hay. The loss Is estimated
at S2500, with partial insurance on the
barn but none on TIE hay.
