Justice Fitzgerald speaks.

After the Jury had been excused Justice
Fitzgerald referred to the efforts Of Law
yer Hartridge 10 say something to the
court on Thursday when the court shut
him of. Justice Fitzgerald said he found
that the district attorney had said that
if ne found that the lawyers for the
defendant were In possession of informa-
ton he believed them to have relative to
| Thaw's sanity, he would lay the whole
matter before the appellate division
There was an implication in Jerome's
remarks, Justice Fitzgerald continued,
and on that proposition he would hear
any of the ThaY lawyers. Before Hart
ridge got started Jerome broke in. sayingG
Il did not mean to state 10 the court
that counsel for the defendant had done
anything unprofessionaI
Jerome further said that he did not
mean to refer to HartTidge particularly.
He did not mean 10 charge Hartridge with
unprofessional conduct.
Hartridge Gets Chance.
At last Hartridge got his chance. He
said that IN his private talk with Jerome
he told him that If he. Jerome, thought
that Thaw was insane he ought to say
so. To which Jerome replied that there
was great difference between his pri-
vate and official opinion. and that as
soon as he got official evidence that Thaw
Is insane now, he would say So
Hartridge said that the defense would
surely have its afiidavits ready by to-
morrow afternoon. The lawyers will at
tempt to convince Justices Fitzgerald
that Thaw did not know the nature and
quality of the act and that 1t was wrong
when he killed White, and that he is now
able to advise with his counsel. That.
they claim, is ali the law requires, and
that is what they will show.
Mrs. William Thaw and young Mrs.
Thaw visited Thaw In the TOmbs after
the court. adjourned They were followed
by a crowd. some of whom eheered. After
they left the Tombs. Lawyer Dan 0Reiiiy
had a talk with the prisoner. He said:
''Thaw does not believe that a lunacy
commission will be appointed. | have
talked with him for months and know
that he is able to advise with his law
yers.'

APPLE GROWING.

The statement of our fathers that
better apples were grown when they
were boys than now. is doubtless a
truth that cannot he denied, and the
reasons for the same are not very
difficult to fad. With the relentless
destruction of the forests, the culti-
walton Of the land for grain crops, and
! the passing Of the rich virgin soil has
come a climate not only more severe
but much more erratic than formerly,
more insects and disease to combat,
and a soil that has become practical
" exhausted so far as available plant
food, which makes possible both tree
and fruit production, lis concerned. IN
fact, the trees of today are surrounded
by entirely different environments
5than were those of fifty and sixty
years ago, and because of these chang
ed conditions present day fruit grow
ers have an entirely different problem
to solve from that which confronted
our fathers and grandfathers. n old
days There was little need of science
In, fruit growing, but now the reason
why certain methods Of culture are
necessary, which were not heard OF
in early. times, is as important to the
progressive and successful orchardist
as Is the mere matter of how. Con-
ditioIs require science to play an I'M
sportant part in apple culture as well
as in ali other business on the farm.
MANY OF our readers are already
aware that the cultivated apple Is not
a natiye of this country, but like most
of our orchard fruits, was introduced
into this country by early settlers,
from Europe and Asia. In dts orig!'
nal home the process of cultivation
and improvement has been going On
for thousands of years, and the va
rleties which we know today are the
product OF centuries of horticultural
skill m selection, cross-pollination and
hybriMzation we'll directed for the
characteristics of the fruit which, fof
best results, requires more or less faV
orable conditions as regards both soil
and climate, although having a most
wonderful power Of adapting itself to
different environments. In different
countries and different states one may
easily find localities which are natur-
ally adapted to fruit growing, while
other portions are better adapted to
the growing Of grain and hay, these
conditions being due either to climatic
influences or to the character of the
soil or both.-Prof. ]. Troop, in the
Indiana Farmer.

Washington, D. c. Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, who has Just re-
turned from trip extending to. the
Pacific Coast, can see nothing but
continuance of good times. -.
"The people of the West" he said,
"are not fearful Of panic or of hard
times. The West is prosperous.
There is plenty of money. In fact, 1
have reason to believe that the West
Is loaning money to the East, instead
of the East to the West. Aud this is
being done at good rates Of interest.
The people OF the. West are not wor-
rying over Wall Street and its trou-
bles. They scarcely know that such
troubles exist, save as they read OF
them in the newspapers. The rest OF
the country is no longer dependent
on Wall Street.
Grain crops generally will be
good, with the exception Of oats.
There will be good corn crop, not a
bumper crop, but good one, if frosts
do not come too early. Prices Tor
farm products and for stocks are hign
and the farmers are making money"
Farmers are getting more money
for their grains. this year than in any
former year, and the shortage of the
yield in bushels is being made up by
the advance in prices. A banker from
South Dakota, who has been In that
section for years, while in Chicago
last week, made this statement:
Banks in South Dakota have larger
deposits THAI they have ever held,
aid farmers are getting more, dollars
for what they have to sell than in any
year on record. Last year at this
time they sold their wheat at sixty to
sixty-fve cents, while now they are
securing ninety-two cents. Oats sold
at twenty-five cents last year. and
are now bringing thirty-five cents.
Barley that sold at thirty csnts last
year brings sixty-five cents. Live cat
tie self for 81 to S1.25 per 100
pounds more than last year, while
hogs are selling at the same prices as
q year ago, and there are lots OF
them. OF corn, We are not raising
any more than needed for home use.
Wheat is of flro quality, although
yields are not heavy. This also ap-
plies to all other grains
The above story represents the con-
ditions in the West, despite the fact
that prosperity stories are being over
worked. There has been conserya-
tive recession in business in nearly
every line, which has been beneficial,
as things were going too fast. But
there is a. good, healthy business,
which denotes steady consumption OF
goods at satisfactory prices. A ma
5orfty of the people in the agricultu-
}ral regions are in as good condition
ns last year for the purchasing OF
goods, as the advance in prices makes
them feel easy. In fact, they are In
better condition than are any other
class of consumers.

FAMILY FOOD.

A little boy down in N. G. asked
his mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their

She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte. where she visited the
Mayor Of that city who was using the
food by the advice of his physician.
She says:
"They derive so much good from it
that they never pass day without
using it. While I was there I used
