HILLSIDE CHICKEN COOP.

sition, explains a writer in American
Agriculturist. Two strips nailed on
each side form a support for perches
which are fastened together by cross
pieces so all may be removed at one
operation to be sprayed.
We move this coop twice a week
and it is always clean and fresh. The
open front and bottom seem little
risky, considering the possibility OF
wandering cats, rats or weasels. But
we are willing to run some risks il
we can fill our own and customers
pens in the fall with large, robust
stock, This one plan has enabled us
to produce Orpingtons well up to stand
ard size, which some fail to do. The
accompanying sketch of coop will Elk

STANDARD OIL INQUIRY
Tidewater Pipe Company Found To
Be Part of the Trust.

Tidewater Pipe Company Found To
Be Part of the Trust.
New York. Sept. 24.-The ways and
means by which the Underwater Pipe
company, of Pennsylvania, came I'M
der virtual control of the Standard
Oil company were unfolded in the hear
ing of the governments suit against
the oil combine. The affairs of the
Iidewater company were disclosed by
the testimony of Robert Benson, presi-
dent of the company, and from a mass
of records and contracts. The Stand
ard was shown to own at present 81
per cent. of the Tidewater stock, and
by an agreement entered into in 1888
between the two companies the oil
business was divided in such proper
ton that the Tidewater did 111R per
cent. and the Standard SS1A per cent.
When Wesley III. Tilford, treasurer
of the Standard, was cross-eXamined
by John q. AIilburn, chief of counsel
for the defendants, Milburn sought to
show that the troubles of the indie
pendent companies were due entirely
to natural causes in the Colorado field.
Tilford explained that the reason why
the supply of crude oil had been cut
down to the sixteen independents in
the Pittsburg field just before the
agreement was made with the Stand
ard was because the oil supply in that
district was diminishing. Milburn de-
veloped that the oil firm of Schotield,
| Schurmer & Teagle Of Cleveland, o.,
an independent company, was not
| forced into the Standards control, but
had been taken over after many suc-
! gestions from the officers OF the Scho
field company.
Tilford denied that there was any
manipulation of prices of export oil by
| the Standard or that there was any
intention to make things disagreeabl,
for the independents. Tilford coulj
not say whether the Standard made {
1 contract to supply certain gas compa.
MES with oil when it took over th,
/ Manhattan OH company; but lie ad
i mitted that the Standard had q con
tract of the kind with ble Indanapo
1 lis Gas Light company and the Teo
pies Gas Light and Coke company, 3
Chicago. lie did not know tbat th'
reason for the contract was that +. G
BENEDICT and Anthony n. Brady woui,
not sell the Manhattan Oil eOmp&n,
unless the gas companies were guar
anteed a supply of oil for ten years
! The contract was made for but tw
years.

CHnches That Big Fine.
"The validity of the Standard OF
company fine of $29OOOO00 depends
in large measure on this decision.
for it will have an almost controlling
influence in the decision of tine court
of appeals in the Chicago district,
where the Standard Oil company ap-
peals on exactly similar grounds. If
the decision had been otherwise it
would have stopped all prosecutions
in the Eighth district for rebates, cSn-
cesSinns. etc The Great Northern
company here and the Standard Oil
company in Chicago claimed that see
ton 10 of the Hepburn law contained
a provision which granted immunity
for all offenses committed prior to
the passage of the Hepburn law eX-
cept those cases in which indictments
had been found when the law went
into effect. In this respect the decis-
ion is a great victory for the govern
ment. and all other cases now pending

PICKING FRUIT.
IL Should Not Be Allowed to Get Too
Ripe on the Tree.

If Should Not Be Allowed to Get Too
Ripe on the Tree.
Many growers do not know the prop
IT time to lgck fruit-that is, the stage
Of maturity that puts it on the market
in good condition. Very often one
sees fine large pears and peaches that
are rotting when the packages are
opened because the fruit has been al
lowed to get too ripe on the tree be-
fore picking.
Sometimes when the early market is
slack there is demand for immature
fruit for cooking purposes.
The Early Apples.
The first early summer apples may
be proftably picked when they get
big enough for cooking. This will
be when the seeds are still white
and before the fruit shows signs
of coloring. The market is always
looking forward to the earliest apples
Dessert and winter apSles should not
be picked until well colored. Those
that stay on the tree late are better
favored than those picked early. Win
ter apples Will usually keep better if
allowed to ripen. in the cool weather
of the fall. The ease with which some
fruit separates from the twig by a nip
sidewise gives a good idea of maturity.
Apples should not be separated from
the twig by straight pull, but by a
twist upward or sidewise.
Peaches For Market.
Peaches are picked for market when
they show the clear, bright colors
They should not be pinched to test
maturity. The experienced picker has
a way of rolling the fat of his hand
over the ridge OF a peach, and the feel
means the same to him as grain in the
sack does to the miller's hand.-W. n.
