PICKING, PACKING AND
MARKETING APPLES

Maverick is in receipt of Bulle-
tin No. 50, issued by the Univer-
sity of Idaho agricultural expert
ment station, on picking, packing
and marketing apples. 1t is an
interesting and valuable paper to
the horticultural interests of this
state. The following are some
extracts from the same:
The time of picking red apples is
commonly gagged by their color,
and that of yellow apples by the
color of their seeds. The latter is
the only reliable test of ripeness,
for an apple picked just as the seeds
have turned light brown, and be-
fore they become dark around the
edges, will be found to have not
only full flavor, but the best keep
ing quality. But red apples are
often lett for some time after the
seeds indicate maturity to allow
them to put on more color, which
they do rapidly under the influence
of the bright days and frosty nights
of autumn; and indeed this is the
only way of obtaining color on fruit
in the shady portions of the tree.
Growers should bear in mind,
however, that to defer picking
after the seeds indicate ripeness.
invites watercore and shortens the
life of the fruit in storage, often
to a serious extent with the mid
winter varieties.
A permanent packing house is a
convenience too often dispensed
with by growers, who make shift
to pack in the open air, where any

Fossil of a 3O-FOol Horse.

A Lander, Wyoming, special to
the Cheyenne Tribune says: A dis
covery Of great Importance to the
scientific world has been made on
the Sweetwater divide, near here, by
Arthur Vaughn and Winnie Fire
stone of this place, in the form of
skeleton of gigantic prehistoric
animal. The skeleton is that of an
extinct animal at least thirty feet
in length and in an excellent state
of preservation. II was an herbiv-
orous animal and the jaw bone dis
plays powerful grinders that are
but little decayed. The fossil is
undoubtedly that of the progenitor
of the modern horse and probably
lived in the early Tertiary period,
indicating that horses then were
from 25 to so feet in height, or as
high as an ordinary two-story build
ing. DR.. Willitson, of the Chicago
university, and the curator of the
American museum have been noti-
fled of the rare find, and both have
announced their intention of start
ing at once for the scene, in order
to procure the skeleton.

bad NEWS FROM THE
COW BOY COUNTRY"

This latest news from the Crow
reservation is discouraging. We do
not like to hear that the genuine
cowboy is dying out and that SOL
emn, useful and commonplace per-
sons from the middle west are
taking up the new lands, thus
Transforming scene of gayety into
one of plain, everyday humdrum
industry and thrift. Hard, plod-
ding work, vulgar opulence and
orderly conduct are well enough in
their way. No doubt organized
society and cut-and-dried civiliza-
ton must have some such basis up
on which to build. But we cannot
sit content while bourgeoise respec-
liability effaces the color and sub
merges the festivity of our national
life.
Surely country as vast in ex-
tent and so gigantic in material
resources as the United States can
afford to perpetuate a Midway
plaisance, so to speak-a sort of free
zone, as it were-where the COW
boy and his broncho may forever
cavort, and where the flannel and
sombrero and the eruptive gun may
have a happy and unrestricted
home. The esteemed Denver Re-
publican tells us that the cowboy
belt is narrowing every day; that
as fresh territory is reclaimed by
irrigation, the settlers steadily re-
produce the stiff conventions of the
settled districts, extending the dead
level of organized society and
crowding innocence and irresponsi-
bility to the wall. Slowly but sure
ly the freedom of the individual is
subordinatcd to the welfare of the
community. The shack saloon is
torn down to make room for the
farmhouse and the barn, and, by
the same token, Moccasin Charley
and Hyena Bill will soon be break
ing stones on the turnpike, and
Birdie Annandale, shorn of her
pink tights and her welcome smirk,
will stop singing Down in the
Valley" in the redlight district
dance hall and will take to washing
hickory shirts for steady liveli-
hood.
''The outlook is far from pleas
ant. Of course, we want to see the
country prosper, and hear it hum
with progress. But we would like
to preserve a little of the pictur-
esque, the inpulsive and the pri-
meval. 1t isn't Necessary to erase
the cowboy utterly, to quench his
thrilling whoop and to suppress his
belching revolver. We might easily
set aside reservation where Col
onel Jack Alternately can catch
wolves with his hands and the boys
shoot the lights out whenever they
get gay. The buffalo has been ex-
terminated. There is hardly a bear
left that won't eat out of your
hand, if you let him. Are we to
put Cinnamon Pete to driving
street cars and hire gunfighters to
feed pigs ?'-Washington Post.

 Havana, Sept. 14--The armed sailors who were landed last night from the United States cruiser Denver. are still in their camp.
 Commander colwell came ashore this morning and went to the American le- gation. Lieutenant Commander Mar GUS L. Miller Is in command of the party on shore. which has not yet re- ceived orders other than to remain where they are
 Commander Colwell declared as the city was quiet and he believed he could land men in ten minutes should cir cumstances so require. 1t was better to return the sailors to the Denver. The men are now pulling up their tent stakes and departing.
 MT. Sleeper, the American Charge d d'Affaires, has received cablegram from the State eDpartment at Wash ington directing him to request the This he did in note to Commander ColweIl. At half past nine o'clock Com mander Colwell landed again and after calling at legation went to the palace, where he conferred with President Palma. As result. the force of sailors Is about to be withdrawn.
 Commander Colwell said to the As 
 Since landing I have received no instructions whatever from the navy de- pertinent. This morning Mir Sleeper notified me that the State Department had instructed him to request me to return on board. I was ready to com ply of course. but first visited Presi- dent Palma and told him that in my opinion 1t was well enough since the city continued quiet. to take the men aboard the Denver. which is close at hand. at the foot of o'Reflly street. T said that we could land again In few minutes in case of any disturb ance which made our presence neces- sery for the protection of Americans or quietinE the situation. President Palma stated again that he would much prefer the men to stay where they were. but in view of the circumstances. felt un- able to comply. Consequently. here we are aboard ship again. We will remain right here handy in case necessity arises of landing a second time"
 A disposition on the part of the mi nor and some higher government offi- cials to grumble about the landing of the American sailors, and what they are disposed to call Commander Colweil's "unwarranted activities" not only ir landing, but in holding converse with the rebel emissaries, became increasing ly evident this afternoon.
 This annoyance, however, IS not gen orally shared by those in highest au. thority. Commander Colwell felt in. somuch at the rebel emissaries them selves could not approach the govern ment to communicate to Presiden Palma their statements he could no entertain them himself. This criticism of the course of Commander ColweH ap pears to be based more on the fact tha | the emissaries conversed with the com mander of the Denver conspicuously than on any act resultant from thes' | interchanges.

 ing.

Havana, Sept. 14.-out of a great
 amount of more or less excited con
 troversy about the wisdom of landing
 blue Jackets from the Denver and the
 propriety of their recall to the cruiser, there is an absolute concensus or
 agreement on one point. namely, that this landing proved a wonderfully dis
 tinct and decided influence towards procuring an offer of surrender from | the insurgents.
 1 This offer was made at the moment
 when the concentration of the insur-
 gent forces in Havana province had
 been practically accomplished, presum- ably in readiness for the much pre- , dicted movement on Havana city. on this account the landing was an ex- tremely satisfactory incident to Pres ident Palma. to the rebel emissaries and to Commander Colwell, to the public of Havana and especially 70 Americans. The fact that the insur- rection has been held up for at lea% today Is gratifying to all concerned An exception to this feeling, howev-
 CT, are the radical advocates for in-
 tervention followed by annexation who would have preferred not to nave seen the landing and the fighting con tinue until the United States was obliged to assume full charge or the
 situation. Everybody realizes. now
 ever, that from the standpoint of such Intelligent and thoughtful leaders as Alfredo Zayas. the apparent intervenT tion of the United States with an armed force meant nothing less than real intervention in fact.

SHAW AT NASHVILLE
SECRETARY OF TREASURY STUMP
 ING TENNESSEE STATE.
Declares that nemacrnts Look for an Tissue to Win On, and Not for
 Benefit of the
 People.

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. 14.--To an audi. cree limited in proportions only by the size of the Grand Theatre. Hon. Leslie Df. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury. spoke for more than two hours here to- day to the proposition that the Demo- cratic party throughout It's history had been more concerned over raising is- sues on which to win campaigns and retain offices than over devising defi- nite plans of government and engag- ing in the study of statecraft.
 The reception accorded him was enc thusiastic Tn the extreme Much of the speakers time was devoted to the tarin question, taking up various schedules ard discussing them from stand pat" standpoint.
 The hit of the evening with ths crowd occurred when the Secretary de- clared that in 1892, the Democratic party favored free trade, which four years later 1t abandoned as an lssuo for free silver. This in turn, he sail, had been abandoned in the next cam paign for anti imperialism. Then. af- ter n pause, he continued: And two years ago the issue was---
 what was the issue in 1904? Can any enc tell me?'
 The Secretary left for Memphis short | iy after the conclusion Of his address.
 During the day he was the recipient
 of much attention. This morning he
 addressed the pupils of the high
 schools, at noon he spoke to the
 Board of Trade; lunehed at the Uni- versity Club as a guest of party
 made ur both of Democrats and Rs- publicans and during the afternoon visited 'The Hermitage" the former home of the late President Andrew Jackson.
