For this kind of pit the excavation
should be two to three feet in depth,
and be lined with single brick wall
to the surface level. The\inside meas
ure should be the same as that of the
frame or box which may be set on or
taken off at pleasure. OF course, the
cost is something of an item, but In
the long run they pay; and like the
board lined pits, If not in use, they can
be filled with manure or litter during
the winter and covered with boards so
they can be filled and started at any
time.

Apples from a Commercial Standpoint.

Apples from Com'neTCldl OtdHupoiHt.
Unless directly interested in the bust
ness there are very few Of us who
have any idea of the Importance Of the
apple industry in this country. There
is an item in the Farmers Call which
says that there are now in the United
States over 2O0,000O00 fruit bearing
apple trees, produsing annually 17G,
100000 bushels of apples. In good crop
years we export 100000 bushels Of
apples and consume at two bushels an
nually for every adult and child in the
country. These are the figures given
out from Washington, d. c.: There
are sixteen apple growing states which
produce 147,2S9,4 ,424 bushels Of apples.
All the other states together produce
only 2S. 107 sol bushels. New York now
stands first with 24,111,257 bushels,
Pennsylvania second with 24,050,4S0
bushels, Ohio third with 20,617,4S
bushels, Virginia fourth with 1886, 1892
bushels, and Illinois fifth with 9,1TS,-
$50 bushels. California is fifteenth in
the list with 3,4SS,209 bushels. Ten
years ago Ohio stood first among the
apple growing states, Michigan second
and Kentucky third. In the last de-
cade, however, there has been heavy
tree planting in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma. The increase in the sew
eral states and territories in ten years
was S1,641, 600 trees. In the same ten
years the apple crop increased to SO
percent of the orchard fruits. In
value of orchard products California
leads all other states (S14,526,7S6), New
York standing second, Pennsylvania
third, Ohio fourth, Illinois fifth, and
Michigan sixth. These six states, with
indiana. Missouri. Virginia and New
Jersey, raise 50 percent of our orchard
fruits measured by value. Michigan

TIE Garden Hos.

The wheel-hoe is the most important
garden tool invented within century;
at least, one gardener thinks so-a
busy Nhousekeeper who has undertaken
the entire care of the garden as a
means of health and pleasure, says a
writer in The Garden Magazine. What
can it do? Almost everything that
hands, hoes and rakes can accomplish,
and does it better and faster. My
wheel-hoe has one small wheel and
four kinds of attachments-rakes,
scrapers, 0lltivators and plow. Think
of the Indifference between that and
taking a stroll between your rows of
vegetables, pushing that lisht-built,
easy-running gem of tool-the wheel
hoe, The only time mine has been
really hard TO work was when | tried
to plow too deep, or run it uphill or
turn tough soil; although this work
was hard to Go, it would have been
impossible with any other handtool.

night. Miss Giddings had a very beau

home, where she dropped off to sleep.
Yesterday morning when Miss Giddings

hair lying in heap on the floor beside
her couch. Some time during the night
some miscreant crept to the window, and
with sharp pair of shears clipped of
every one of the beautiful locks of gold
en- hair and threw them beside the bed.
Neither the family nor the young lady
herself has any clew to the perpetrator
of the act.

Preparing for Double Track

The Southern Railway Company Is
having a survey made east of Lynch,
burg for the purpose Of adopting a good
route Tor a freight route around that
city in order to obviate the heavy grades
on the present route both north ana
south ofLynchburg. Thepresent survey
will leave the main line of the system
some 10 miles north Of that city and
run to the right, coming back to Inc
present tracks below the city. This, with
a very high bridge over the James river,
would do away with number OF heavy
grades.
