Poorly Keeping Apples.

Poorly keeping apples are Of little
value unless they be summer and fall
apples grown cal a market that will
take them all. The winter apple that
is hardly fit for eating in the fall and
yet will not keep in an ordinary cellar
is of little use on the farm, and it
should be avoided. No matter how
good it is, if it must be kept in a cold
storage house to remain eatable it is
an impracticable apple for the farmer
to grow.
I bought a barrel of apples a short
time ago from a neighbor. They were
very fine in appearance when l pur-
chased them, but in a short time they
began to rot badly. We tried to eat
them up to save them from the rot,
and succeeded partially, but it is an
expensive method of furnishing the
family with fruit. l think it is just
here that we have so much to be
thankful for in the Ben Davis, Baldwin,
Greening, Russet and other old stand
bys. When we put a barrel of these
apples in the cellar we do not feel
that we must hurry and use them up
and exclude the use of all other fruit
during the time they are being eaten.
1t has been my observation that
much of the poorly keeping fruit on
the farm is due to farmers buying and
planting the varieties recommended
by the travelling agents. Many a farm
er is s~oft-hearted and when the agent
comes to him and talks to him about
his particular variety-his novelty
which is always high priced, he does
not like to refuse to buy it of him. II
he suggests that he would prefer the
standard varieties, he is discouraged
by the agent, whose motive is to sell
high-priced trees rather than low
priced trees.
The novelties are generally poor
keepers, because most of the apples
that have been tried are poor-keepers.
Only now and then does an apple have
the combination of good quality in
flavor and texture and good quality as
to keeping. There are young orchards
on some of our farms that never will
amount to anything even if they bear
heavily, because the fruit is of varie.
ties that will not keep in cellars

Americana PIums.

Americana plums ought to be
studied by all fruit growers liv-
ing west of the great lakes and
north of a line drawn through central
Illinois, east and west. These plums
are very suitable to this great region,
more so than many other varieties.
There are probably 100 varieties of
Americana plums Of good quality and
of commercial value. These varieties
grow in all parts of the country. Do.
mesticas can be grown where this
family of plums can be produced, as
they are more popular plums than the
Americanas, but the farmers of the
northwest will find Americans the
most satisfactory for them.

Mary never forgot the first tim. her
Inches assumed the proportions of a

"A great girl like you in the infant

to be ever in advance of other chill

former chums, playing assiduously
with girls several years her senior.
Next she sacrificed dolls, being too
great a girl" to be such a baby. Even
her fears of the dark caused ridicule,
she was $50 big!" Fairy tales, which
she adored, were devoured in secret

Jove himself, he was uncouth, and

look up to him, which wonderful fact
likewise gave him a point of view pos

he loved her after his rough fashion.
Joe's attentions rather fl ghtened her.

Among other wooers came Bob Jen-

was so short that Mary overlooked

A North Carolina Principality.

Union county is a p~rincipality. From
Monroe, which is nearly the centre
of the county, n car go a radius OF
from sixteen to eighteen miles in amy
direction. Choose whatsoever way
you will and you will find evidences
of prosperity among the people. Large
new barns, good dwelling houses,
many IF them new twO-storied ones,
well titled fields. are to be seen in any
direction. Why shouldn't we have
better roads, better schools, better
everything that makes life happier
and easier? There are schools in the
county with one teacher. in which
more than sixty children are often
crowded without oom to turn round.
Why don't the people of suc1 com
munities build bigger houses and help
employ another teacher? We do not
know. There seems in some way to
be lacking a unity of opinion of de-
sire in such communities. Most often
it is the lack of some public spirited
leader to go out and ge, the people
to follow him in improving things IN
the community. One such mar IN a
community can be of untold benefit
to the present and the future. The

A WHITE HOUSE DEMOCRAT
Senator Patterson OF Colorado An
Himself as Such.

Washington, d. c.. January 81
There was much indignation among
democrats in the ena today when
n of their number stepped in the
arena to apologize for President
Rooseve1t's Santo Dominican policy.
Senator Patterson, of Colorado. not
only did this. but he delivered a speech
in eulogy of the occupant of the White
House. which is a persimmon IN ad-
vance of anything that has been heard
in Congress this session For some
time there has been speculation as to
who are the five White House Demo-
Gratis" whose votes are expected to
ratify the Dominican treaty. Most
Democratic Senators Indignantly repu-
date the insinuation. but Mr.. Patter-
son boldly embraced the opportunity
to enter the ranks of White House
Democrats"
There are suggestions of u Demo-
cratic caucu to take III this question.
The Santo Domingo treaty is regarded
by Democrats generally as distinctly
anti-Eemocratic in doctrine. Some OF
the party leaders think ii is high time
to make a test of the party organiza-
ton and see who is entitled to partici-
pate i'm the caucus and who is not.
There is a feeling that the ines should
be drawn tighter to keep Republicans
from dragging Democratic votes their
way, whenever they want them.-Spe-

STOCK FOOD sw1NpLE
Wheat Bran, Etc. Favored and Scent
ed and Sold at From 5000 to $4,000

The Progressive Farmer sounds a
note of warning to the farmers Of the
south about what it calls the stock
food swindle. It says that one of the
most outrageous frauds now being per-
petrated upon the American farmer is
that of prepared stock $oods-comnon
meal bran, ETC., with a little cheap
sulphur, salt, Epsomi salts, pepper,
saltpeter, etc. added to change the
taste, and the mixture (hardly more
valuable than ordinary ship stuff put
up in flaming packages, advertised n
big illustrated, ads i'll farm papers, and
sold 10 gullible farmers at from $3.50
to $4,000 a ton" The Progressive Far
mel further states that some time ago,
the chief southern contributor Of one
of the farm papers most largely circu-
lated in North Carolina and adjoining
states, wrote an exposure of the whole
miserable fraud and sent it to his pa
per. The reply came back: THE
Blank Stock Food Company pays us
$4,000 a year for advertising, ana We
would lose it II we were to print your
letter. Please don't insist" 1t is
quite proper that while the patent
medicine nostrums are getting a drub-
bling, the stock food humbugs should
be exposed and this the Progressive
Farmer proposes to do. If the frauds
are of the nature complained of, we
hope the exposure will be of a nature
as to protect the farmers against them.
