The Future Mikado j.?

They can do things in Japan we
could never even dream of doing. The
imperial family Of Japan dwells to-
gether in harmony under circumstances
that would cause domestic discord, II
not absolute disruption, in an everyday
American family. Her majesty the
Empress is several years older than
her illustrious spouse, the Mikado, and
though she is the only wife he has ever
had she is not the mother of the five
children-the crown prince and four
princes-of whom the Emperor is the
father. In case she should become the
mother of a son, which, as she is fifty.
six years old, is exceedingly improb-
able, the illegitimate children Of the
Emperor would have to stand aside.

SECRETARY SHAW WAS LATE.
He Narrowly Escaped ''Call Down.
by Ngilant Watchman.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was
three minutes late in reaching the Treas
ury Department the other morning and
narrowly ESCAPED being held up by the
vigilant watchman at the door.
1t was raining when he arrived, and
he hurried through one of the seldom
used entrances to the building.
1t is one of the regulations of his de-
partment that all employees arriving late
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
second floor. The watchman noticed his
apparent carelessness in not registering
and, not recognizing him, hurried after
the Secretary to remind him of his neg
lect.
When the watchman reached the ele-
vator, however, he heard the conductor
address his passenger as "Mr. Seere
tary."
The watchnan's activity ceased imsne
diately.
Secretary Shaw remarked later in tn
day that he was sorry he did net g
back and register, as all good eAelsgs
are required to do.

AppIe Growing.

The Department of Agriculture Of
ten receives communications from
farmers who are maintaining that the
practical agriculturist does not have
much faith in experiments conducted
at experiment stations, as they are
on such a small scale that great
weight cannot be attached to the re-
suits. The statement is made that
were these experiments made on a
large scale or under conditions such
as confront the farmer himself, they
might prove more valuable. Taking
this standpoint as rule to follow the
New York experiment station. through
the Department of Agriculture has re-
ported the results of an examination
of 1,138 apple orchards covering g.
642 acres in Wayne and Orleans
counties, New York. Both of these
counties are extensive apple growing
regions. In one township every or.

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 8,43O
bushels OF sprayed apples brought an
average OF $2.02 per bushel, 6,365 bush
els OF unsprayed apples brought but
S1.80 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 35 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

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 a result of
trials on a small scale hold true wien

scale.

and these in conjunction with power

Every animal that enters the Berlin
abattoir is inspected to see whether
it is fit to kill. After animals are put
to death those whose flesh is consid-
cred absolutely dangerous are de-
stroyed. Owing to the prevalence of
poverty the German authorities are un-
willing to waste anything tAat can be
saved. Animals killed are divided into
four c1- The first class consists

kets. The second class consists Of
animals having some small local dis
ease which does not taint the bulk of
the meat. The affected parts only are
destroyed and the rest is sold directly
TO poor consumers in quantities not
exceeding six pounds. The third class
is that which is of a quality so dis.
eased that it cannot be safely sold in
raw state. However, it may be eaten

From time to time the United States
Department of Commerce and Labor
has received reports from its various
consuls 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

Up-to-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-
tion as to date and hour, latitude and
longitude of the vessel, atmospheric
pressure, temperature, force and direc-
tion 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
IL last, this liner was caught in 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 its existence might have
enabled the Campania and other ves-
sells to avoid its center of activity. An.

great busy cities. While it was report
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-
thorities 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
kets of Europe at the present time are
to be found in Germany. There are
extensive and well equipped establish
ments in several large cities, but those
which are the newest with the latest
improvements and regarded as the best
of all are at the old university town
of Halle and at Mannheim on the
NsAine. These are almost duplicate
plants.
~ early as 1873 there were city
6DdLIO1A6 at x4oAAAC1411 OAO 4Ol JOWS
and one for Christians. In 1890 it was
decided to construct single new abat-
toir in connection with the new mar
ket. This was completed in May, 1900.
This latter abattoir is model of per-
fection, ample provision being made
for receiving animals and shipping
dressed carcasses. The visitor does
not receive suggestions of slaughter
ing through any appearance of blood
on surrounding walls, nor does he
smell it in the air, as in many of the
American slaughter houses. Build
ings are of brick, stone, iron and glass,
of good appearance, Substantially and
admirably adapted to their respective
purposes. ALI are supplied with hot
and cold water, live steam, electric
lights and either steam or electric
power. These operate a great v"~'otv
of mechanical 1shor-saving appliances.
The hosting apparatus is handled so
that manual lifting is almost wholly
avoided, and by suspended tramways
carcasses and other heavy parts may
be moved in all directions in the kill
ing halls. Artificial ventilation is also
provided so that every apartment may
be supplied with currents OF fresh air
dry, and either cold or warm as de
sired. The rooms for slaughter are
large, light and airy Instead Of little
pens as is the usual case in France
the arrangements at Mannheim are fol
a separate hall for every kind of ami
NAL and a regular corps of licensed
butchers is employed by the establish
ment.

Double YoIked Eggs.

Squire Meadows, who lived down at
Four Corners, was classed as a "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 a 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, Abigail" he said, "what's
ther use of gettin' so 'stravagant?
Winters coming on, an thar's that
fodder cutter ter buy; can't yer get
along somehow with lessw
The argument ended by a reduction
to a single needle. Squire Meadows
took 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 ad-
djtion 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 "reat on him."
The Squire, having made me trade,

on such factors as location, site, as.

Of the orchard, orchard troubles, etc.
The agent of the New York station
found that for orchards titled five
years or more there was an increased
yield of about 80 per cent. over or.
chards which had been five years or
more in sod. This greater yield in the
titled orchards was found not to be
due entirely to cultivation, as the man
who tills his orchard usually gives II
better care as regards fertilizers
spraying, pruning, etc.
Figures were compiled or richards
in sod which were used as pasturage
for live stock. While 1t was found

adopted in Germany, when one goes to
