Sugar Supply Is cornered.

Mexico City, September THE sugar
syndicate which was organized here sew
eral months ago after the collapse of
the previous sugar monopoly, is now es-
tinated to have practically cornered sew
en-eighths of the existing supply. Few
planters have stood out against the syn
dictate which aims at controlling the mar

bility In the market. The present effect
OF the organization on the market is

Mineral Plant Food,

am convinced that mineral plant
food is present in considerable guam
titles in most of our soils, and that 1t
is used up but slowly by the plants.
l think that II we drain our land and
let in the air in summer and the frost
in winter the result will be the con-
slant formation of new plant food un-
der the working of the forces of the
air. Water is the universal solvent,
and believe that where it is allowed
to stand in soil it dissolves much of
our most valuable plant food. Where
mineral plant food abounds we hear
men say the soil is strong" and nat
urally bears a big crop If cultural con-
ditions are right. In our rocky hill
sides there is an abundance of min
eral plant food, and more food is be-
ing constantly made. Those that no.
tice the grass on such hillsides know
that 1t is of strong growth and that
the sod is frequently deep and closely
woven. j. Y. Hudson.

Fruit for the Family.

The farmer that considers rrst
tlA fruit for his family is
wise. There are multitudeS of
farmers that cannot afford to raise
fruit to sell in the general market
that can yet afford to raise all the
fruit they and their families can use.
II should seem unnecessary in this
great country to call the attention of
any farmer to the fact that he is not
raising all the fruit he should, but we
know that thousands of farmers even
in Illinois do not raise enough fruit
for home use. An abundant supply of
fruit should be one of the things found
always on every farm in a location
where fruit will grow.

Common Beans.

All the common beans (Phaseolus
yulgaris) that we have in our gardens
are supposed to be natives of tropical
America. and this will account for
their great tenderness in the presence
of frost 1t has been only after many
years of breeding up that We have
varieties that can be made to mature
In SO short a time that they can be
sown after the danger of frost is over
and mature before danger of frost in
the fall. It Is remarkable thing
that a plant like the bean can have
its nature so changed as to time Of
maturing that two or more successive
crops of string beans may be produced
in our short northern summer.
scans really need good soil to do
their best, and above all things they
must have an abundance of sunshine.
as they had for untold centuries in
their tropical habitations the fierce
light of the tropic sun. II they are
given all the sun they need they ma
ture a crop much quicker than If they
are not 1t is said by experimenters
that there is a difference of two weeks
in the time of ripening a crop given
the sunshine 1t needs over a crop
that has only partial sunshine.

Interpretation Of "oisarranse.r y

Abraham was an ever-ready volun-
teer in Miss Taylor's class at the
North end. On one occasion some
twenty or more words had been placed
on the blackboard, among them the
word, "disarrange."
Pointing to this word, Miss Taylor
asked: who can use this word in
a sentence or explain its meaning?"
Abraham's hand waved frantically
in the air.
Very well. Abraham. you may ex-

With look of pride and satisfaction
Abraham said:

Sliding Gate Wide Open.

The block shown at A is a wooden cleat
nailed from one post to the other. upon
which the gate rests and slides.
or swinging gates which are trouble
some and apt TO get out of order. Mr..
Spears has six of these gates on his
ranch. and expects soon to put in as
many more. 1t will be noticed that
the gate is not hung on hinges. 1t
consists simply of hurdle which
stands between two strong posts set
so that the gate easily passes back
between them. The second bar of
the gate rests on a cleat A, shown in
the illustration. This cleat consists
of inch lumber. four inches wide and
12 or IA inches long. The gate will
slide easily if the top of the cleat is
creased. AS the gate is closed 1t slips
between the two posts, which prevent
1t from being pushed either way.
Points in favor of this gate over
those in ordinary use are as follows:
1t is cheaply and easily made; it is
not liable to get out Of order; quickly
and easily operated; requires only
ordinary fence posts, no hinges, or
latch, and it locks automatically.

The Affirmative

Says a London critic: The simple
English affirmative is becoming some
what battered in common speech.
Yes has long sounded as .yus' from
the lips of the uneducated. But there
is a present tendency among the edu-
Gated to adopt the American variants
upon the word. America has found
that an open vowel or labial is cas-
Ter to pronounce than a sibilant. And
it has two substitutes for yes One
of them is yep and the other is yah.
obviously the yah comes from the
influence of the simple German ia,
which is quite an elemental sound.
Yep on the other hand. is clearly a
protest against the waste of time in
getting tongue. palate and teeth in a
position to hiss. Phonetic laziness is
what the late Prof. Max Muller would
call it.
within the past week the present
writer has conversed with half doz
en- men Of culture and position. three
of whom 'yah'd, while the other three
| 'yepped.'"

Impromptu Sermon Delivered by
Bishop Potter.
Bishop Potter and fellow clergy
man on a fine May evening came down
Fifth avenue on foot.
Their talk turned upon psychology; ;
but both were in the mood for an in
tellectual frolic rather than serious
discussion. The bishop was excep-
tionally happy. Nearing the park at
Madison Square he observed:
I'VE can be certain of nothing
prompted by our own reflections. and
while Thoreau once remarked that
the Almighty did not create the world
in Jest there still remains for us a be-
wilderment resembling 1t. Fortunate
ly our faith resists appearances; 9TH
erwise what might we not say of the
scenes before us? Over the Flatiron
building in the sky the moon looks
like an arc light, merely: while the
building in the night is itself a great
towering cliff, yet. we're we as far
away as the seeming arc light we
couldn't see the Flatiron at all. A
small point of light, that star seems
no larger than the head of a pin !;
yet that point of light is one million
times larger than our sun. which not
only increases our respect for the size
of the head on pin. but causes us to
doubt whether we can Justify our own
Impressions by logical means. s."-New

Cross Fertiiize.

Whatever kind of fruit we grow II
is best to plant 1t SO that II possible

that as a general thing the fruit Is

of pear orchards that bore little or
nothing for years till they were graft

the pollen. There is the Keiffer that
has so often proved fruitless till 1t

apples, and 1t is notorious that plums
will sometimes not bear at all unless

FurIino Sails by Machinery.

The principle of the common roller
window curtain has been adapted to
the handling the sails OF vessels by a
retired sea captain. who has invented
a system by which the sails can be
raised or reefed from the deck with
out the use of steam power. Practi-
cally. the device consists of set of
winches placed at the foot of each
mast, whereby single man by turning
a crank can furl. unfurl, or reef a
sheet in one minute. These winches
are SO arranged as to take up their
own slack by reversing cogs, the sails
themselves working on sleeves encirc-
ling the yards. By slipping brake
the sheets are allowed to unfurl them
selves by a system of counterbalanc-
ing weights. With one seaman work
ing at the cranks the yards can be
braced, eased away, or hauled around
before the wind in a few minutes, and
the sails can be held at any desired an
gle to the wind.

Eggs and Gold.

Our poultry is not gold mine: 1t
is better than a gold mine. The gold
mine is uncertain, but on the farm
the domestic fowl is a certainty. SO
far as profits are concerned. Great
wealth goes into gold mines. and 1t is
some times a mooted question If as
much gold does not go into the work
ings as is taken out.
The aggregate wealth from our poul-
try is far greater than from our gold
mines. We have no national statistics
later than 1900. but the census taken
that year showed the annual payment
for eggs to be $143,6OO.0OO and for
poultry $136,3OO.OOO, a total of $27s.-

can bear witness that it is neces-
sary to keep the onion field clean II
good crop Is to be expected. onions
do not cover the ground as completely
with their tops as do some other
plants. and it is therefore necessary
that more work be done with hoe ana

crop, the bean crop, all shade the
ground with their tops and help to
keep down weeds, but we have very
little help Of that kind from the onion.
remember the field of a neighbor
Of mine that I used to see every DAY
during one summer. He got behihu
with his work and paid more atten-
tion to his corn than he did to MS
onion field. which covered severai
acres. The weeds came up thickly'
and 1t was not many weeks before
their roots formed almost complete
mat in the soil and checked the
growth of the onions. When the man
got around to cultivating that field he
declared that it was useless to at
tempt to get the weeds down, as they
were thriftier than the onions. The
onions had been dwarfed, and the
work of cleaning out the weeds would
not be paid for by the onion crop
now already stunted and cut short
in spite of anything that could be
done.
1t will pay to put on extra help for
few days If the onions need to be
cultivated. especially when the wealth

are growing rapidly. After the grow
ing season is largely over it Is not
matter of great moment. or not SO
great as 1t was earlier. But now for
the next few weeks no time should
be lost in attacking the weeds in the
onion fields and the smaller they are
at the time of being disturbed the
better for the crop.-John Administer

The overhurdened Horse.

Who has not seen horse

load. whipped by merciless
driver! Very often this is the result
of the owner of the horse placing upon
the horse (and the hired man as well)
more than he can do. 1t is often the
hired man that is the driver of the
overburdened horse. and the owner is
the one that is primarily responsible
for the cruelty to the animal. The
man that sends his hired man to town
