Fruit Exhibit at Fairs.

Societies having the control of the
fruit exhibit at fairs should see to II
that, so far as possible. every variety
OF fruit grown in the state shalt be
represented at each exhibition. Man
ayers OF agricultural societies should
remember that these exhibitions are
for the purpose OF instruction and for
the stimulation of fruit growing. They
IRE not mere gambling devices by
which a few men can make as much
money as possible out of the premi-
ums. Many of our exhibits are def
Client in the number of varieties dis
played. Certain orchardists are in
vited in, and these generally make a
display of the fruit they grow them
selves. Some of the varieties that are
thriving best In the state are not
shown at all. The managers of the
exhibit could, by very little work.
bring in all the different varieties Of
fruit being grown In the locality rep
resented by the fair. This should be
done even IL the management has to
buy a few plates of good fruit, Of va
rieties that would not otherwise be
represented. The matter of instruc.
ton should be made much OF, and ev-
cry variety should be fully designated
by lettered or printed labels that are
large enough to be read by all. Very
frequently the labels ON the fruits are
very badly written on slips of paper
and are placed where they are
weighed down by the fruit. This may
be satisfactory to the judges, but
would hardly do much in instructlng
the public.

good plan to follow, but requires
good deal of capital on the part of
the company putting II into operation.
as they must pay for all goods some
weeks before It Is possible to get cash
for them. Some such plan would be
far better than having a great lot of
bookkeeping to do. with monthly re-
ports to make. Cash transactions are
easy to handle and time Is saved, as
well as postage in rendering accounts.

We are frequently asked the ques-
ton II, in starting with pure-bred
stock. II is better TO buy the fowls or
bug the eggs. Our answer will de-
pend on the season of year in which
the question Is asked. II In the
spring. we would say, buy the eggs.
If in the fall, we would say, buy the
fowls. II one should buy the eggs at
this time of year, they would need an
Incubator in which to hatch them, and
even then the fowls would not be
ready to begin laying until the next
summer. They might even moult be-
fore beginning to lay. In purchasing
half-grown birds this season of the
year. about one season Is gained over
the production from the eggs. There
Is another thing that favors the buy
ing OF fowls. and that is that one can
tell Just what he is getting In pur-
chasing eggs, It is possible for seri-
Gus mistakes TO be made, as II is not
possible from the looks of the egg
to tell whether its parents are pure
bred or not. In developing the pure
bred flock, II is better to depend on
the purchasing of fowls and also on
the purchasing of eggs.

Fuel for Pumping Water.

times we have noted the
great progress being made at
the New Mexico station in its in
vestigations of irrigation by pumped
water. The cost of fuel per acre has
been shown to be very small, whether
wood or coal has been used The sta
ton now reports that 1t finds a still
cheaper fuel in crude oil. A 22-horse
power gasoline engine was used and
the cost of the ten-hour run was as
follows: Crude oil, 1905; kerosene.
1851; gasoline, $685.. This will be OF
great interest to those who are put
ting in plants to irrigate their gar
dens and plats by means of pumps.

Apple pomaqe as silaqe.

When apples are abundant there are
always a great many that are small
and are used for cider. In small crop
years the amount of apples disable for
cider is very small, owing to the fact
that there are few apples on the
tree, and these apples develop into a
salable fruit. But when the big fruit
years come, the trees are loaded with
apples, with The natural result, that
many OF these are small, too small TO
be merchantable except In the form OF
cider or cider vinegar. In these full
crop years great deal OF cider is
made, and consequently a great deal
OF apple pomace accumulates. In
many cases this pomace is thrown out
into the streams, or Is fed to cattle al
ready well-fed on the pasture. We haze,
seen 1t thrown into the barnyards In
cakes. the cows eating what they
could OF the top, and trampling the
rest under foot. Apple pomace has
been found useful for silage. II makes
first-class silage and keeps well from
year to year. This Is of interest to
those farmers living near cider mills
where they can obtain pomace at lit
tie cost. Cows fed on this silage are
said to hold up their milk as well as
those that are fed on corn silage. The
milk does not seem to be in any way
injured by the flavor Of the pomace.
but when 1t is fed It is well to begin
its feeding slowly, little at a time,
as any change OF food If very abrupt
seems to influence the milk for a
time. The usual practice in feeding
It Is to give about fifteen pounds a
day TO each COW

FaII Work In the veoetabIe Garden

Fall Work In the Vegetable Garden.
There is much work needed to be
done in the vegetable garden in the
fall. When spring comes there is no
time to properly prepare land that has
to be used for the first garden crops
In the spring. The land must be prop
erly prepared in the fall. must be
plowed and narrowed. and must re-
ceive a heavy dressing OF barnyard
manure. This is available for pant
food only after II has decayed, and
II It is put on in the spring. the early
plants do not get the benefit OF II.
except In very small degree. But
where II is plowed in the fall, the
process of decay goes on while the
ground is still open, and nearly all
the plant food is In condition to be
assimilated as soon as the ground Is
warm enough to work In the spring.
The greatest cause of failure In some
farmers gardens is this very ignor-
ance of the fall preparation. The gar
deners near the great cities never for
get fall preparation OF their land. In
no other way could they satisfy the
demands for early vegetables.

Staining Legs Yellow.

Some of the exhibitors OF
birds with yellow skin, where
the standard requires yellow
leg, use iodine to give intensity of
color. The application must be a very
light one, as the iodine will produce
soreness If used in large quantities.

The Cause Of Pear Blight.

For ten years | have grown pears
for market and have watched and stud
led the trees almost daily during that
time, and | cannot agree with expert
ment station men and others as to
the cause OF pear blight cannot
believe that pear blight Is caused by
bacteria or that a microbe has any
thing to do with It. An experiment
station professor writing in Country
Life In America" recently went so far
as to say that the pear blight microbe
is In the nectar of the pear blossoms
and is carried by bees from flower to
flower. think II is hardly possible
for the nectar to be anything but pure
when the blossoms open. think pear
blight is caused by conditions OF soil
and climate. On certain soils and
elevations even in Illinois, pear trees
are free from blight.

Cooperative creamerles In Ireland.

Cooperation is becoming a perman-
ent feature of Irish butter making.
The cooperative creameries there
have made good records and have
proved very profitable. They have in
the main produced butter that has
sold well on the English market, The
result has been good returns for the
product Of the creameries and good d.
vidends to the co-operators. Recent
reports from Ireland give the number
of cooperative creameries now In ex.
istence there as S67. These have 49,
299 members. and the creamerles are
turning out $4,000 tons OF butter every
year.

Illinois.

The cause OF pear blight is now
very well known. There is no ques-
tion at all Of its being n germ disease.
The microscope has revealed its char
acter and II has been isolated and ex-
amlned. The spore of the fungus that
causes pear blight is both heavy and
sticky and cannot be blown by the
wind from one place to another. IL
used to be supposed that II could be
blown from one tree to another and
that this would account for the sud
den appearance of pear blight after
a windy and wet period. The germ OF
pear blight lives over winter in the
live wood adjoining dead wood that
has been killed by blight. Insects.
especially bees. sip the sap from
wounds in infected trees and later
visit the tips of trees where small
leaves are being formed or blossoms
are opening. The spores OF the pear
blight stick to the limbs OF the insects
just as pollen sticks to them. When
the insects suck the nectar In the
flowers. the spores are rubbed of and
fall into the flower. From those
spores, minute plants OF a thread-like
character develop. These plants grow
through the sap wood and through the
leaves and use up the life fluid that
should go to feed the leaves. The
leaves then wilt and turn color. and
we say the tree has been blighted.
There is much yet to be learned about
pear blight, but the foundation has
been we'll worked out.-Farmers' Re-
view.

w. G. T.. u. COLUMN.
PO2T ARTHuR'S FALL.


missionary magazine published at
Tokyo, contains an English transla-
ton of an article in the japanese
Presbyterian journal, FukuIn Shimpo,
published in that paper over
the signature Of az. T., y who is said
to be one of the Japanese military
surgeons at Port Arthur and an eye
witness at the evacuation. The
translation reads:
"The SO called impregcable strong
hold, Port Arthur, was finally taken
on the % Of January, and when, as
csnding the hin Tokeikwan, over
looking those of Niryu and 5hoju, the
forts were in full view, l could not
help wondering at the fall of the
stronghold into our hands, and, more
over, when witnessed the surrender
of such enormous multitudes of sold
iers as they came out from the forts,
trenches and barracks my wonder
was Increased. They were so numer-
Gus that it took US fully three days to
complete the transfer of them all as
prisoners. They numbered, in fact,
81, 900 in all, and allowing for one-half
as invalids, the rest, $4,000 or $4,000,
must have been ablebodied fighting
men.
with regard to those troops We
do not hesitate to a6m re their stub
bornness and bravery, so often dis
played against us, but with SO stro ng
a position and still SO many fine men
why were the Russians reduced to the
point of surrender? What induced
them to capitulate?
'ln my personal observation of the
| r is ians at Port Arthur what struck
me most was their inordinate drinking
of such liquors as whisky and vodka
! Even at the time of surrender both
officers and men were found quite
shamefully intoxicated. This dis
graceful practice was found to be in
vogue everywhere, even in the hos
pitas. Judging from these, I easily
conclude that their constant drinking
reduced the troops to general incom'
potency and was the principal cause
of the fall of the Port Arthur strong
