Raising Cabbages.

Seed may be sown between Oct. J.
and Is. It may be sown later, but as
the plants are subjected to severely
cold weather in December it is impor-
tant that they should be large enough
at that time to Withstand hard frosts.
When the thermometer falls below p
degrees they are likely to be killed. To
secure the necessary hardness and
low stocky growth the seed should be
sown thinly on rather light unmanured
soil. Instead of making a sowing in
the open air after Nov. 1 the careful
gardener will provide against loss by
frost by sowing under glass in cold
frames about Nov. 15.-Oemler.

Gull Out the Flock.

The young fowls are now almost
fully developed, and we can easily sep,
arate the good from the bad. Go over
the flock now and send all those that
are not up to the standard requirement
to the butcher. Do not Gull too close,
as some few may outgrow apparent de-
fects, and if not they also may be sent
later on.
Often half grown fowls show off col
oPed feathers, but after the molt they
discard the feathers, and the new suit
shows no defects.
Gull gradually, but do not keep any
which are not fully up to the standard
requirements.-Ho and Farm.

TELEPHONES ON FARMS.

They Help to Quicken Rural Life and
Improve Conditions.
The material advantages of the tele-
phone for farmers has frequently been
pointed out. 1t saves time and ''time
is money" but it does much more than
that. 1t is a. great quickener of the
intellectual and social life Of farmers,
and this is fundamental advantage
which is sure to result in material ben
eiits.
Ii we desire to improve the condi-
ton of any community the fundamen-
tai way of going about it is to educate,
20 quicken their thoughts and ideas.
improvements and machinery and i'm
proved methods are all necessary, but
back Of these must be the Quickened
intelligence. The man who uses his
muscles long hours every day to the
exclusion Of healthful mental and So
cial diversion is not farmer, but q
machine-an automaton. It is not
from these that Improvement comes.
1t is not these who advance. It is the
man who thinks and then puts his
thoughts into acts who improves meth
ods and accomplishes results. A COM
munity of such people will be prosper
Gus.
The telephone does quicken the life
OF every community in which it be-
comes established. 1t aids in the rapid
dissemination of news. 1t enables each
farmer to talk to his neighbors any and
every day about anything which mu-
rually interests them. 1t enables them
to quickly arrange for meetings and
gatherings of all sorts.
Muscle counts for less in farming
than 1t used to and intelligence counts
for more, but they should both go to-
gether. The farmer needs good schools.
good papers and good books, but he
also needs the telephone, concludes a
writer in Farm and Ranch.

Alfalfa is no lazy mans crop.

Just watch the cornfields grin from

If you are afraid Of work you better

Alfalfa must have loose soil, and it

APPLE HARVEST.
How to Handle the Crop I'm an Easy
and Economical Wax.

and Economical Way.
All baskets should be of the half
bushel type, round bottomed, with a
swinging handle, and should be pro-
vided with C strong iron hook that can
be hung upon limb or on the ladder,
allowing the picker to have both hands
| free.
Stepladders are not usually desirable
in apple picking, because that portion
| of tree covered by a stepladder can
be equally well picked from a longer
ladder, and an experienced picker pre-
is necessary and also desires to cover
just as much surface on the tree as is
possible with one moving.
Apples should never be handled but
twice, once from the tree and again
from the sorting table. When the sort
ing and packing are done in the field
the picker may deposit his apples di-
rect upon the table; otherwise they
should be placed in boxes, crates or
barrels and be removed at once to the
packing house, at which place they
will be cooler, and sorted at some later
time
The advantages Of good storage
building are twofold, especially in
commercial orchards. When picking
time arrives every effort should be
made to harvest the crop at the earliest
possible moment, and If the grading
and packing were done in the orchard
at the same time it would call for an
extra number of hands, and in these
days, when scarcity Of labor and high
prices for the same are such factors in
crop production, it Is by far better
economy to concentrate all efforts to-
ward harvesting the crop before at
tempting to prepare it for market.
Again, If packing is attempted at the
same time with picking, the managers
attention will be divided between the
two operations, with the probability
that neither will receive the care 1t
should have, and still again, unless
fruit is to be Immediately placed in
chemical cold storage, it is far better
for it to be stored in building which
can be thrown open at night, when the
air is clear and crisp, as it will be at
that season of the year, and have the
storage closed tightly In the daytime.
Many dealers today. give decided pref
erence to fruit which has been stored
in a well ventilated storehouse. They
claim that it will keep practically as
well up to March or April and that
there is much less danger from scald
when taken out of storage.
Shiftless packing really accounts for
more than one-half of all the unsatis-
factory returns from fruit, and to rem
edy this trouble 1t calls for the united
efforts of growers and dealers. They
should realize that their interests are
mutual and not antagonistic; that what
ever tends to build up the apple in
dustry affects one as well as the other.
Our eastern fruit is, as rule, better
than the western and, being grown
near the consumer, ought to command
a superior price, and yet it is a fact,
because of the better sorting and pack
ing, it drives the home fruit from the
markets. Upon the best brand of fruit
a trademark is often important some
neat pictorial design or even the name
of the farm or orchard where the fruit
is grown.-Cyrus Miller in American
Cultivator.

czAR TO GRANT AMNESTY.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 22-The long
awaited political amnesty will be pro-
claimed May q, the anniversary of the
coronation of Emperor Nicholas IL The
exact scope of the measure has not as
yet been determined. 1t will, as expect
ed, be limited, but the Constitutional
Democratic party is prepared, though
grudgingly, to accept the act of grace,
from which the terrorists are excluded,
recognizing. though not publicly, that the
Government is not altogether unJustified
in refusing to set at liberty men who
will be as ready as they have been in
the past to shoot down or to blow to
pieces hated representatives of authority.
Their demand for unlimited amnesty
was based on the expectation that, with
the institution of a full constitutional
era, the terrorists, as was promised in
an open letter just before the assassina-
ton of Alexander II, would abandon ac-
tive operations, but they have been
forced TO admit that the crimes of the
last few days give the Government no
guarantee that the promise will be kept
The administration is daily cutting
down the number of prisoners who NAV
be affected by the amnesty, releasing
convicts by hundreds in the provinces.
while among those released in st. Peters
burg are some members of the council
of workmen's delegates who drew IN
the famous manifesto preaching a raid
on the Governments gold reserve.

FUNERAL NEARLY
STARTS A RIOT
Trouble in New York as
the Result of Str. ke
Among Drivers.
All Attempts to Settle
the Controversy Have
Been Futile.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Though
there appeared to be tendency on
the part of the coach owners to get
together and try to settle in body
with the funeral coach drivers who
are on strike, the officers of the lat
ter met yesterday and decided to
have no collective settlement.
A number of funerals have been
held up, but most of the large con-
Germs postponed funerals where pos
sible. The undertakers usually drove
the hearses. 1t was next to impossi-
BILE to get drivers for pleasure parties.
The officers of the union reported last
evening that twenty out of the thirty
five employers had settled with the
union individually.
One of the funerals held up was
sent out by Mr.. Sicardi, an under
taker. The cortege consisted Of a
hearse and four coaches and had
reached Fourth street when President
O'Brien ordered the drivers to dis
mount, which they did. The rela-
tives of the dead person began to
plead with the strikers. but those in
the other coaches were very angry
and it looked at first as if a fight
would follow. A policeman came UP
and soon Strengthened matters out.
The funeral was allowed to continue.
A Hebrew charitable organization
which conducts funerals free for poor
Hebrew families had four to conduct
yesterday, and Barnet Friedman.
president of the organization, asked
for police protection. The request
was granted. The burial place for
the society is Silver Lake Cemetery,
Staten Island, and a policeman sat
beside the driver of the hearse or
wagon in each case.
