a sinking spell on Friday morning

Until fewiyears ago Mr.Unger was
in business at Unger's sore and made
a handsome future but, sad to relate,
curing the past few years he lot his
forlupe principally by bis endorse

business.
For several years he represented this
Senatorial district in the state senate
in a most credible manner and held
many other positions of honor and
trust. For years he was a Jealous .ad-
vocate of what might be termed sreat-
er Berkeley Springs but has not lived
TO see his ardent hopes realized. He
was highly respected aud had many
warm friends throughout the stale. He
was an ardent democrat aud was a
prominent figure in STATE politics.

DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

One of the most striking evidences of
industrial depression 10 this country is
the falling of in immigration since last
November, when the effect was first
noticeable. For the entire year 1907
the number of immigrants arriving in
this country was unprecedented, reach
ing total OF 1,334,l66. There was a
gain in nearly every month until De
cember over the previous year, when
the total was ,215,439, which exceeded
all previous records. Even in October
and November the number was consid
erably in excess Of the same months of
1905. The monthly avearge for the
year was over III, 600, but in December
the number fell to 66,574. compared
with s5, 466 in 1906.
Immigration in the first half of the
year has uniformly exceeded to con-
siderable extent that in the last half.
Last year the arrivals in the first six
months numbered 743,952 or monthly
average of 123, 1896. In 1906 the total
for the first half year was 673, 943, or
monthly average of ll2,324. In Janu-
airy, this year. there was a drop to 81 ,220,
compared with 54,4l7 last year, or al
most exactly one half In February
the number fell to 1881, against Co.
SAL last year, reduction of nearly two
thirds. These two months are usually
the lightest of the year and last year the
number rose in March to 1918 and
reached still higher ia each of the next
three months, the maximum being 1884,
1856 in May. This year the increase was
only to 32,5l7 in March, or less than
one fourth the number arriving in the
same month last year, while in May the
total was only 36,3l7. or less than one
fifth of last years record. The total fol
six months was 1872, $3.50, against 743, S52
last year, 673,943 in 1905 and 62S, 176 in
1905.
Bnt the effect appears not alone in
this great diminution in the number of
immigrants. Though we have no exact
statistics of the departures of aliens
from the country during the same
period we know from the reports of the
steamship companies that they have
greatly exceeded the arrivals. There
has been an actual decrease of the for
eign population, made up mostly OF la
borers. This unusual movement has
served to mitigate one of the serious
effects of industrial depression. 1t has
greatly diminished the number that
would have been otherwise unemployed
and lessened the consequent privation
and suffering and the strain on many
communities of affording charitable re
lief. Labor has become an export as
we'll as an import and passes with com
parative ease between this country and
Europe according to the condition of
the market for it.-New York Journal
of Commerce.

SuMlight Kills Germs

Light is admitted to our stables
from all four sides. says Henry Ste
vens. In Farmers Review. The size
Of the windows depends upon the
height OF the wall and the height to
the ceiling. We use mostly two sash
frame windows. These are usually
lust above the wall Of the stable from
two feet to two feet and a half from
the foor and our cows stand facing
the light. The windows are shaded
In no way and allow the sunlight to
enter to the greatest possible extent.
We believe II easier to keep a well
ughted stable clean, and certainly the
incentive is greater. We also believe
large amount Of light beneficial to
the health OF our cows. There cer-
tainly can be no healthier herd OF cat
tie than our herd OF Holsteins. Al
though we have It's head. we very
seldom have any sick. and scientists
say that ten minutes OF sunlight will
XIII tuberculosis bacilli. The sun
shine certainly aids In keeping the
stable sweet and dry. Most stables
IN this vicinity are well lighted. al
though there are 4 few OF the old
dark stables, but scarcely any among
progressive up-to-date farmers. Nv
all means put windows in dark sta
Bile.
In building a new stable We would
nave az least one-third of the wall
space windows: one-half would be
better. A very nice idea is in having
only one sash frames and having
them close together. The sash should
be hung In the bottom OF these frames
ana arranged so that they can be
swung In six or seven inches at the
top. V-shaped boards on the side OF
the frame to keep out the wind and

In very extreme weather they can be

more than eight years the value OF
the annual production Of onions in
Texas Tor the market has reached an
protimately 81. 100000. When the
Tact Is considered that this enormous
wealth Is derived from only about
1000 acres OF land, some idea may be-
had OF the abundance OF the Weld
and the good prices that are obtained
Tor the product. Onion growing has
done another thing 10 help Texas. II
has been the direct means OF adding
more than $4,000 to the intrinsic
value OF her lands. Inasmuch az the
growers put n good portion OF their
annual earnings from the industry
into property improvements In town
and country the increase OF taxable
wealth from this source has also been
considerable.

Keeping Quality Of Apples.

Here is question, often asked at
frnit growers meetings, as answered
In part by l.. w. c., in Rural New
Yorker: rs it true that apples grown
in sod have better keeping quality
than those grown under tillagee"
No one seems to say yes or no with
out qualification My own experience
indicates that the cultivated apples
are larger. lighter in color and less
firm than those grown IN sod. My
sod fruit Will certainly average small
er and considerably higher in color.
Our only keeping test is that OF put
ting all together in an ordinary eel
lar, as we sell most Of our fruit early.
From this test feel sure that the sod
apples are better keepers. In CON-
! mereial apple culture this does not
make so much difference. as most ap-
pies are put at once into cold storage
and kept there until sold
A large number OF scientific experi-
ments have been conducted with va.
rying results. There is certain def
mite time beyond which apples should
not be in storage. After this period
the sod fruit keeps best. The sod
fruit manures earlier than the culti-
waited, and II picked at the same time
is little higher colored. This high
colored matured fruit, OF course.
keeps better than immature fruit, es-
pecially with the earlier varieties,
like Wealthy, Alexander and Fa-
meusc. These varieties undoubtedly
keep better when grown on sod land
than fruit from titled land picked at
the same time. Where the latter was
allowed to grow longer there is not
much difference. In commercial or
charding | think more depends on
other things, such as picking and
handling. No matter how the apple
is grown, bruising and rough hand,
ling Will hurt the fruit.
