First rate apples are never without
a good market. It pays to raise ap-
pies that are too good to be barreled
but good enough to be wrapped In
paper and carefully packed in new
boxes. Such fruit needs only to be
shipped a few miles and Is able to
compete with the Pacific Coast fruit
that comes 1000 miles. All that is
needed is good soil, fertilizing and
culture with careful handling and
marketing. Our farmers have the
market. for retail apples all to them
selves, yet produce hardly any fruit
that can be ranked as first class In
the early part of the season. There
is no reason why farmers should not
raise fruit that will sell for as much
by the box as most apples now bring
by the barrel. Apples at 81 per box
in average seasons would be profita-
BILE, while 81 per barrel hardly pays
expenses. In some years our farmers
would be favored by good crops at a
time when there was shortage In
other sections, and the average price
of the fruit from year to year would
be at high level. Both the yield
per acre and the price per bushel
might be doubled by careful methods.

New Tomatoes For Forcing.

In the propagating houses of the
Department of Agriculture, the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry has been
making experiments with view to
procuring an ideal C7mato, which in
the language of an ot 'cial of that bu-
reau is fruit without a depression
at the stem end; round fruit with
ridges; fruit with the interior well
formed and compact and fruit of
medium size growing in large clus-
ters. The forcing of tomatoes under
glass has assumed considerable pro-
portions in the Middle and Northern
States, and the demand for the green
house grown crop is steadily jncreas-
ing. This is due, it is stated, to the
fact that tomatoes when grown under
glass are superior to those that are
grown in the extreme Southern
States and which must necessarily be
picked partially green and shipped
long distances before reaching our
markets. For special table use, such
as is demanded by large hotels, the
greenhouse-growr fruit will always
be in demand.
While number of the varieties
Of fruit On the market to-day is good
none has all the characteristics which
would render it ideal.
The Bureau of Plant Industry has
for the last three or four years beer
crossing varieties with view to Sc.
curing types with characteristics ap
proximating the ideal. Out of large
number of forms few kinds have
been secured which give good prom
ise of finally producing form which
will fill the present void.

Planting Rules.

Thoroughly compact the soil about
the seeds and so hasten termination.
Remember that rows which run
north and south allow the suns rays
to reach both sides of the plant--a
distinct advantage.
Plant seeds of string beans every
fortnight, so that there will always
be supply Of tender pods.
Forget that potatoes were ever
planted in hills; level culture is much
better. Plant the tubers in deep fur
rows. ~t'-ss- ;.~n,
When planting large, fiat seeds, set
them in the ground edgewise. Ger
mination is more certain.
Make sowings once a week of such
quick-growing vegetables as lettuce
and radishes, to insure continuous
succession.
Sow radish seeds in the same row
with slow-germinating seeds. They
will come up in few days and mark
the rows for cultivation.
To get the earliest cucumbers, mel
ons and summer squashes, SOW the
seeds early on inverted sods or in
small pots in the house or coldframe.
Do not follow your grandfather
custom of planting beets, lettuce, on
ions and such vegetable in raised
beds. They dry out too quickly, as
well as being difficult to cultivate.
Do not expect peas to mature we'll
in the hottest weather. You will be
disappointed. But SOW the seeds Of
an early variety in August and you
will get good crop in the fall. Spray
with potassium sulphide solution to
keep down mildew.
Rotate the crops in the garden.
Land that grew any of the cabbage
tribe last year should be planted to
beans or some other class of plants
this year. Many troubles like club
foot will thus be avoided. AS a rule,
follow root crops with those which
grow above ground. Life.

Pretty Women Criminals.

1t is difficult to obtain a verdict OF
guilty against any woman charged
with capital crime, triply difficult II
she happens to be young and of at

No jury of women could possibly be
more lenient to woman than is the
usual male jury in this country. 1t is
even, not impossible that women hear
ing case against woman would be
less swayed by sentimentality than
are the masculine juries that almost
invariably fall victims to pretty face
