/ injurious In the orchard pasturing, the
orchard with neither sheep or hogs re-
suited In better yields than those not
pastured. The fortified orchards
yield an average increase of SIS bush.
els per acre over those to which no
fertilizer had been applied. Data was
collected OF the value of spraying ap-
pies and it was shown that while 8,430
bushels of sprayed apples brought an
average of $2.02 per bushel, 6,365 bush
els of unsprayed apples brought but
$3.50 per bushel.
The effect of distance between trees
planted before 1880 was studied in its
relation to yield. Taking figures from
an average of four years it was found
that trees planted 80 by 80 feet apart
yield 1856 bushels per acre; trees 81 by
81, to IS by 35 feet apart, 222 bushels
per acre. and trees Sc by SO to 40 by 40
feet apart yield 229 bushels per acre a
year. Observations in the counties
showed that while the site is not a
very important factor the best site is
doubtless one that is sufficiently ele-
waited to give good opportunity for air
and for water drainage and not so high
as to be especially exposed to the wind.
This survey of the New York section
covering. as it does, the actual prac-
tices of farmers in two of the most i'm.
portant fruit-growing counties Of New
York, and giving the actual results in
yields and income by different meth
DDS OF treatment in hundreds of or
chards, Is on sufficiently large scale
to make the results obtained Of more
than usual value and interest. 1t is
exceedingly gratifying to find that the
cultural methods long recommended
by experiment stations as result Of
trials on small scale hold true when
applied to orcharding on a commercial
scale.

Ep-t0-Date Weather Reports.

The latest work upon which the
United States Weather Bureau has en-
tered is system of meteorological OBJ
servations from vessels at sea by wire
less telegraphy and the simultaneous
issuance of weather forecasts and
storm warnings to those vessels. The
Weather Bureau has prepared special
code by means of which exact informa.
ton as to date and hour, latitude and
longitude of the vessel, atmospheric
pressure, temperature, force and direc-
ton of the wind, and the character OF
the sky are all compressed into four
words. AS soon as any coast wireless
telegraph station receives such dis
patch from vessels, the message is to
be delivered at once to the Weather
Bureau at Washington. Should the
contents of this message be of such
Importance as to demand special storm
warnings, notices will be prepared and
dispatched by wireless telegraphy to
all vessels in the vicinity affected. The
value of such service might be cited
when the experience of the steamship
Campania is remembered. On October
II last, this liner was caught in a hur-
ricane. The storm was found to have
had no great area and it is stated by
the Weather Bureau that had the sys-
tenn proposed been in use at that time,
warning of it's existence might have
enabled the Campania and other YES
sells to avoid it's center of activity. An.
other feature Of great value in this

From time to time the United States

From time to time the United States
Department of Commerce and Labor
las received reports from it's various
tonsuls in Germany giving accounts
Of meat famine in the Faderland.
The scarcity of cattle in Germany is
probably due primarily to the strict
laws Of that country forbidding impor-
tation of live stock from countries in
which certain animal diseases are
known to exist. The elaborate and
complicated system of inspections and
prohibitions imposed upon the impor-
tat1on OF meats and domestic animals
by the new meat inspection law of
Germany, which went into effect few
months ago, had the effect of increas-
ing the prices of pork, beef, veal and
mutton By diminishing the available
supply. On account of a few cases of
Texas fever which existed among the
cattle coming from the southern and
Western part of the United States, live
stock from this country are excluded;
similarly because cases of foot and
mouth disease were known to exist in
Russia, Denmark and Sweden, cattle
from those countries are likewise de-
MED admission.
Soon after the new inspection law
was put into effect the imports of live
stock and meat supplies greatly de-
creased until the situation in Germany
was extremely grave. Prices asked for
dressed meat went quite beyond the
reach Of many working people in the

DOUBLE YoKed Eggs.

Squire Meadows, who lived down al
Four Corners, was classed as "mean
old son-of-a-gun." He didn't mind
buying new farm implements every
year and allowing them to rust and
ruin out in the winter rains and SHOWS
but he would not buy his wife sew
ing machine or a dish-washing ma
chine to lessen the labors of house
work. She was never allowed spend
ing money, and whenever anything
necessary was wanted for the house
the Squire always went himself to the
village store and made trade of some
farm stuff for the article desired.
One day the good wife wanted a
package of darning needles, and told
her husband SO.
'Now, Abagail," he said, whats
Their use of gettin' so 'stravaganti
Winters coming on, an thar's that
fodder cutter ter buy; can't yer gel

The argument ended by a reduction
to a single needle. Squire Meadows
took a fresh laid egg down to the coun.
try store and inquired of the store
keeper whether he would trade a
darning needle for an egg. The owner
was willing and the trade was made.
Now it seems that this store, in adj
dition to being grocery, dry goods
establishment and post office, was
also one where liquid refreshments
were dispensed. The owner was
known as a man of great cordiality
to his customers, often inviting them
to "treat on him."
The Squire, having made the trade,
looked around at the array of botAes

ed that the butchers and meat mer-
chants were. taking advantage of the
situation and charging double prices,
investigation showed that they were
in reality in serious difficulties, for in
stead of increased profits they were
making less money than before the
law went into effect. A number OF
them announced to the municipal au-
thoritics their intention to relinquish
their business. Mass meetings have
been held by citizens and meat dealers
with an endeavor to induce the au-
thorities to make the meat inspection
laws less stringent, but so far without
result
The model abattoir and cattle mar

extensive and well equipped establish

which are the newest with the latest

of all are at the old university town
of Halle and at Mannheim on the
Rhine. These are almost duplicate
plants.
A. early As 1873 there were city
abattoirs at Mannheim, one for Jews
and one for Christians. In 1890 1t was
decided to construct single new abat-

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was
three minutes late in reaching the Treas

narrowly ESCAPED being held up by the
yigilant Waterman at the door.
1t was raining wnen he arrived, and
he hurried through one of the seldom

1t is one of the regulations of his de-

shall register the time of their arrival
at desk near the entrance.
Mr. Shaw did not consider himself
amenable to this regulation and hurried
to the elevator to go to his Office, on the

apparent carelessness in not registering
and, not recognizing him, hurried after
