MEXICAN CITIES PREPARE
TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY

Mexico City. May 21.-Every vii.
lage, town and hamlet, from one end
of Mexico to the other, is preparing
to fittingly celebrate the one hun.
dredth anniversary Of Mexican inde.
pendence next September. The Cen
tennial programs in all of the cities
do not vary to any great extent, but
in the smaller towns many unique
features peculiar 70 the hamlet will
be included.
The biggest celebration of all, as
a matter Of course, will take place in
the capital, and the government is ex-
pending large sums of money to per-
feet arrangements.
Great interest is being exhibited in
Mexico City. especially among the
Americans, as to the naming of the
United States representative who will
be here during September. There are
many Americans in this capital who
really expect to hear of the appoint
ment of Theodore Roosevelt If
Roosevelt is named, and accepts, there
is no question of doubt but that a
feeling of intense enthusiasm will be
aroused among the Americans. One
or two American newspapers in this
country have suggested that the ex-
president of the United States may
be the man. So far that is all that is
known of the matter but the mere
mention of Roosevelt as a possible
delegate has aroused considerable
amount of interest and discussion.

Fences For Hog Pastures.

Great changes have taken place in
the various fences employed for en-
closing hogs. The rail, board and
barbed-wire fences have all given way
until now woven fences are almost
exclusively used The best and cheap
est fence for hog enclosure Is a COM
bination of the woven and barb wire
A barb wire below to prevent their
roofing under and couple above to
prevent their jumping over is essen
ly tight for loose barb wire does not
hold hogs in check. The woven wire
that is used is the 26-inch ribbon
says Farm, Stock and Home. The ma
ture of the ribbon employed is i'm
portant. Heavy cable wires are nee
essary for two reasons, First, they do
not rust so easily and second, they are
strong enough to stretch tightly ana
to resist onslaughts of heavy brood
sows or boars.
The upright wires that form the
mesh should be close together and
we'll attached to the cable wires to
prevent slipping. This will prevent
little pigs from getting through the
fence and will also aid in heading
in" strong pigs that make a straight
rush at a fence. Many think most
highly of the diagonal mesh Such an
arrangement produces the strongest
fences and If heavy wire is used will
hold pigs without SO much slipping as
where the square mesh is used
Strong wires and close meshes are
essentials in a gold woven-wire fence.
BY using a ribbon 26 to 80 inches In
width with a barb wire below and a
couple above a cheaper and better
nog fence is Procured than when an
al woven wire fence Is used. IL the
fence is for all sorts Of stick. then
such fence would be Objectionable
For hogs a rigid fence is best wheth-
or for permanent or temporary fenc-
ing, and has also given excellent re-
suits in fencing corn fields, a purpose
Tor which many will be used this fall

WEAK RESISTANCE
In Yesterdays Stock Market Near
the Close Caused Falling Off
in Prices.

New York Jan 1S-The violent
price movement in froce yesterday
and last week was arrested complete
| ly and suddenly for the greatest part
of the day
The elimination of a movement in
one direction usually occurs on ac-
tive trading followed by a violent re-
action, !. The departure from such a
precedent today was a complete mys.
! terry to the professional traders. Their
eonjectures resulted in an exceedingly
confused and irregular movement,
Time and again the fall in the price
would have aroused the appearance
of determined buygin, but the de-
mand repeatedly died out in the
course of the numerous rallies, and
left the market dul and neglected
The bears showed no anxiety to
cover short contracts until late in
the day; then their covering opera
tons caused an upward reaction.
Prices fell abruptly to the lowest
of the day when the Hill stocks
broke
The foreign selling of stocks was
an Important influence in the unset
Element, large selling orders for Lon
don account being executed in all
leading stocks. This was the ex-
preston of financial Londons opin.
ion Of the course of the English cleo
tions. Ordinarily the fears of a so.
cial government coupled with the
decline in American securities are
to be expected to divert British CAPT,
tai into American investment. The
unloading of foreign speculative holt
ings proves more influential, at the
moment, than any Investment TAX
ings.
The selling of United tSates steel
was particularly large and persistent.
In the Northwestern granger group
there was some evidence Of support
until the Hin stocks slunped An,
other spell of weakness accompanied
the election of the Rock Island rep
rcsentatives to the Lehigh Valley
board Resistance weakened toward
the end of the day and prices ended
at the lowest in sympathy with the
break in the Hill stocks.

RAISING DWARF APPLES.
Some Interesting Experiments Bein,
Made in New York.

G. T. Powell, of Columbia county,
N y, is conducting some interesting
experiments on the value of dwarf
apple trees in business orchards, says
the American Cultivator. 1t is the
idea of Mr. Powell that trees of low
habit Of growth will be required more
and more, because of the need of con-
yenience for spraying and harvest
ing The scale insects make 1t al
most impossible to thoroughly treat
large trees. and the cost of labor
makes a saving at harvesting time OF
great Importance. Two styles OF
dwarf trees are under trial. The So
called Paradise" is very dwarf and
is short lived. The "Douein' stock is
half dwarf, making trees l6 to Is
feet high, and promises good results
in commercial orcharding. The trees
are planted two or three inches be,
low the union of stock ard top. In
Mr.. Powell's orchard the trees o.
Paradise" stock are set as filters be
tween those of the larger dwarf kind
The rows in the orchard are 20 feet
apart, and the trees 10 in row. The
wide spaces between the rows allow
plenty of room for cultivation by
horse power, while the trees in the
rows will be thinned out as soon as
they become crowded. The dwarf
trees give fruit in few years from
planting, ard the amount gradually
increases. The small dwarf kind lasts
six to eight years, and the semi
dwarfs for about 20 years. For dwarf
trees the Spitzenberg, Jonathan. Nc
lntosh are found successful, They
produce fruit OF very fine appearance
and quality, suitable for packing in
boxes for the choicest trade. For the
half dwarfs, the Northern Spy, RoX-
bury russell, Twenty Astraehan
Baldwin and greening are satisfac-
tory.
The dwarf trees must receive good
culture, with plenty of plant food, and
careful cultivation. The soil is plow-
ed and narrowed in the spring, and is
kept ia cover crop of clover during
the summer. Scale and ither insects
are easily treated in the dwarf or
ehards. The idea appears so promis
ing to Mr.. Powell that he is pruning
his large. trees on the dwarf plan
cutting back the tops of the standard
trees in order to cause them to spread
out and to remove the high parts O
the tree. which make so much diff
Guilty in spraying old trees.

MORE PROFITABLE THAN HENS.
Ducks Are Easy to Raise ano Make
Good Money.

Ducks are more profitable than
chicks, If we raise the right kind and
give them the proper kind of feed
Duck raising has developed within
the last 20 years into flourishing
industry, Prior to this the duck was
not considered a profitable fowl TO
raise. Its flesh was not in general
favor, on account of it's being oblig-
ed to pick up its living as best it
could along creeks and marshes, liv-
ing mostly upon fishes and water III
sects, and of course this gave its
flesh strong fishy flavor, says the
Indiana Farmer But ducks will re-
spond very rapidly when handled for
profit. They arc very heavy feed
ers and will grow twice as fast as
chicks. On account of the duck be-
ing without crop the food passes
directly to the gizzard, and conse-
quently the food must be in a soft
mushy state. Soft food, togetrer
with grass and vegetables and ami
