price as expected, but the price has ad-

not affect the price, but Tariff does

Some Fruit Irees for Poultry,

It seems that there is no doubt that
the plum tree is the fruit best suited
FOR the poultry yard. Frequently the
plum trees in the poultry yard are the
only ones on the place that bSsr
crops. The benefit comes from the
destruction of every insect that gets
on or near the ground, either in fallen
fruit or otherwise. Then the fertility
distributed around the roots furnishes
abundant available food for all Of the
trees damaged.
OF course, plum trees for the poul-
try yard should be pruned high.
Three or four feet for the first limb
will be about right.

A contributor to the American Maya
zin- makes an interesting comparison
ON the cost of living. He maintains
that it is not the cost of living, but the
standard of living that has been raised.
He cites the fact that his mother paid
81 pound for tea, six Or seven cents a
pound for flour, eight to ten cents for
sugar, and 40 to 40 cents pound for
coffee He pays go cents a pound for
tea, three or four cents a pound for
flour, five or seven cents for sugar, ~
to 35 cents for coffee. He earns about
three times as much as his father did
and at the end of the year has no more
money. His plan of living has altered
There are more luxuries now and we
have to pay for them, but we demand
them. The contributor says dollar is
not unit of gold but unit of labor,
and that labor is dear in this country
because it is scarce. The laboring man
lives much better than he did twenty
years ago, and that is why his pay does
not 90 so far. A better standard of
living means more money spent.

Food Value of Fruit.

Here are a few facts worth consid-
ering. Baked apples are more nutri-
tious than baked potatoes, and will
produce more work. Dates, prunes,
figs, apricots and raisins are dried
fruits always available. Instead OF
looking upon them as merely supple
mental to food-like confectionery
we should remember that they are
really among the most healthful, pal
atable and concentrated of vegetable
foods.
Among fresh fruits, bananas, ap-
Piles, figs, grapes, blackberries, straw
berries and oranges have decided food
value and may be used as economical
sources of nourishment.

Here Is a way of using up cold din

Washington, Feb 6--Cong. JOSEPH

mask of disinterestedness from f. G
Lowry of New York who recently
launched nation wide campaign
against the Saginaw protectionist.
Mr.. Fordney has just returned from
home and shows by Mr.. Lowrys own
sworn admissions that Lowry is moth
ing less than the sales agent of the
Federal Sugar Refining Co, that "the

Lowry represents himself to be secre

sugars" is q delusiou; that every cent

against Mr.. Fordney and against con-
tinuance Of duty on raw sugar came
from Spreckels, head Of the Federal

here is q trust figh'ing duty because
the trusts raw material comes from
abroad and because removal Of duty on
that raw product would kill the do
mestic beet sugar trade which alone
stands between the consumer and I'M
restrained advance in price by the cane
sugar refiners.
Mr.. Fordney's points are made from
the sworn testimony given by Mr..
Lowry himself before the Hartwick
sugar investigating committee. The
salient points of the testimony follow:

(By W. 8. THORNBER. washington.)
In the removal Of large branches
from old or bearing trees always make
the cut parallel with the branch or
main stem from which the one is re-
moved. This frequently means a
larger wound than it would make If
the cut Is made at right angles to the
limb that is to be removed, but such
wounds will heal quicker and are less

covALLo JUMPS BOND.
Man Who Shot Up Main St. Fails to

Genar Coyallo, the Italian who sew
eral months ago caused great excite
ment by shooting up Mala street,
failed to appear in the circuit court
when the case against him was called
fer trial tbs morning Covallo was
charged wiSl attempted ,lurder and
had been held in cash bonds OF $500.
The money is now in the hands of the
court. Covallo is alleged to have fed
from Kenosha and to have Ie4 urned to
Italy and the men who aided him in
giving the bond have asked tie court
to hold up further action pending an
effort to locate and return the prison
er. Judge Belden stated that the bond
would not be declared forfeit Until the
last day Of the present court tenn and
the friends of Covallo will ae given
until that time to present him in court
for trial. There is little reason to be-
Ieve that the Italian will be found as
his friends have so far not been able
to get any trace of him.

MAKES FISHING BETTER.
Cold Weather Said to Force Fish to
Come to surfaee Of the Water.

The fishing has now improved and
new men are being taken on every day.
Local fishermen STATE that the cool
weather has improved the catches
wonderfully and that fish are rapidly
raising to the top. During the warm
weather, it is stated the fish stay
lower down in the lake because the
ws ter above is too warm. ''The water
in he lake must have certain temp.
erature before tie FISH will stay in
it, :" state local fishermen, "and fish
are found at various depths at various
seasons of the year"
The demand for Lake Michigan fish
is greater than ever and nearly all
the fish are sold fresh and not much
sailing down or drying is done as
heretofore. Indications are that one
of the best seasons in years will be
had this fall at the local station.
The summer season has been, how
ever, worse than ever before and
many of the fishermen had already
planned to go out of business if hpsi-
ness did not pick up.
