Palestine is fast becoming one of
the great Orange-growing countries OF
the world. Much fruit of excellent
quality is being shipped every year to
London and other markets in north
ern Europe, and this year the crop OF
the district near Jaffa, the port of
Jerusalem, is estimated at 100000
boxes. Farther up the Syrian coast
Tyre and Sidon are expected to reach
a total of 100000 cases of oranges ex-
ported and 100000 cases of lemons.
For a small country Palestine has
many interesting and valuable prod
ucts. It's olive groves are as produc-
tive as they are ancient, and its vine
yards yield grapes Of fine quality in
great abundance. Notwithstanding the
drawback of a sometimes very defici-
ent and usually scanty water supply,
Syria produces a large quantity of ex-
cellent food. But it is not easy to
think OF Palestines exports of oranges
without thinking of the UNNECESSARILY
more important exports and ideas
and ideals from that little country
BY comparison with the moral and
spiritual forces which have gone out
from Syria to enrich the world, all the
products of the SOY which can be
shipped from the ports as long as the
earth shall endure will be of little
significance.

THE SAVING HABIT.

One of the most difficult and at the
same time most essential of habits to
form is that OF saving. OF course,
there are many persons in all walks
OF life who, although they are in COM
Portable circumstances, are so penuri-
GUS as to be absolutely opposed to
parting even with their pennies. Their
very lives are controlled by the idea
OF getting along with as little as pos
sible even at the risk of earning for
themselves a reputation for stingi-
ness. Such persons, however, make
up class all to themselves, and gen
orally deserve the contempt in which
they are held by their fellow-beings.
On the other hand, the spendthrift de-
serves as much, If not more. condem-
nation, perhaps, for the facility with
which he allows his often hard-earned
money to slip through his hands.
There fs a golden mean between these
two extremes OF character and it is
found in the ability of man to save
from his earnings sufficient for the
proverbial rainy day. The advantages
of saving may be demonstrated to US
in many ways and or many occasions,
but it remains for necessity to i'm
press its Importance upon our minds.
1t may be that the manner of living
may account in large measure for the
universal habit of spending all that
we make-the opportunities for doing
SO are very great and at the same
time seem very real and imperative,
and it is only after the pocket is emp
ty and we face stern necessity that
we are able to discriminate between
opportunity and temptation.

Potato Damaged by EeI-Worm.

adults are at most one twenty-fifth of
an inch long. The potato cells have
broken walls and the starch grains
are fewer in number than in healthy
tissue and those present are of small
er size
The disease is spread by planting
infested seed potatoes. 1t is not def
initely known to what extent the
worms may live and multiply in the
soil itself or how long soil may re-
main infected. The important point
can be settled only by careful obser-
walton and experiment.
Only a few carloads of potatoes
were rejected, so that it does not ap-
pear that the disease is as yet wide
spread. The efforts of some dishonest
shippers to dispose of potatoes known
to be diseased, either for food or seed,
should be guarded against by every
grower, shipper and all who deal in
with the appearance of the disease,
and combining in an honest effort to
stamp it out. Some sort of inspection
service should be Immediately estab-
iished in the sections where potatoes
are grown for shipment purposes.
Care should be exercised in the pur-
chase of seed potatoes, to insure that
the disease is not introduced into
regions as yet free from 1t. 1t will
probably be necessary to quarantine
against infected localities, in case &he
disease becomes widespread.
How to free infected soil from the
parasite is a question which the
knowledge at present at cur command
will not permit us to answer salts
factorily. The best advice for the
present, it seems to us, is to plant
infected fields with some other kind
of crcp, preferably grain or alfalfa
rather than root crop. such as sugar
beets, which might be attacked by the
same pest.

NEW BECKER WITNESS
TESTIFIES AT GOTHAM TRIAL
LIEUTENANT MADE THREAT.
Asserts That Accused Gunner
Fired Fatal Shots.

New York, Oct. 12.-Lieut. Charles
Becker listened with blanched coun-
tenance while Morris Luban swore he
heard Becker say to Jack Rose, two
weeks before the Rosenthal murder:
IF you don't croak Rosenthal I'll
croak him myself" 1t was the first
bit of testimony connecting the four
gunner with the police officer on
trial for his life before Justice Golf in
the criminal branch of the supreme
court.
Luban, who also was an eyewitness
of the murder, identified "Gyp the
Blood" and Lefty Louie" as two of
the men who fired the shots that
killed Rosenthal, and William Shapiro
as driver of the murder car. He also
swore that "Dago" Frank was in the
group. He knew Rosenthal and had
seen Becker in a gambling house.
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defendant, spent hours trying to
break down his testimony.
Luban was discovered by District
Attorney Whitman day or two ago,
with his brother, Jacob, in jail in
Newark, N. j., on a forgery charge.
The brothers claimed to have been
unjustly accused by somebody. The
New York prosecutor procured their
release on parole.
Luban said he heard Becker utter a
death threat against Rosenthal in the
Lafayette bath house, and that he
stood within two or three feet of the
police officer. He did not know Beck
er we'll he conceded, but had seen
him in a gambling house on Allen
street.
Luban's Identification of the gun
men was made without hesitation.

North Pacific whalers are not unan-
imous in accepting the theory that
whale fisheries are playing out on ac-
count of the extinction of the whales.
One captain who notes that his ship
and another made a kill of 1877 last
year and only 81 this year, thinks the
recent volcanic disturbances have
made changes in ocean currents that
have diverted the small fish on which
the whales depend for food. He thinks
that in time the whales will be back
in their old-time haunts, or discovered
in their new ones.

The United States consul at Prague
says there are practically no flies in
Bohemia. He attributes the phenome-
non to the fact that everything is
made of brick, stone or concrete, and
the streets are cleaned several times
a day" The reason why the fly is
feared is that his habits are so dirty.
Yet where he is numerous, his num-
bers indicate the presence of dirt. I'm
doubtedly the best way to get rid of
flies is not to swat" them, but to
clean up.

Good Roads
q Ha7xsZ29N Notes
Go to the fairs.

Go TO the 1alrs.
Silage may be fed from the silo as
soon as it is filed.
No one should live in the world who
has nothing to do in 1t.
Your store of honey, If well ripened
will keep all winter without candy
ing.
Give some thought and care as to
how you are going to winter your
bees.
Better keep one good hen than
three that you have your doubts
about.
The potato grower is often handi-
capped by having no local market and
no local buyer.
Save steps by doing all the work
that lies in any particular part OF the
farm, while there.
Remember that fax chaff makes a
good substitute for sawdust when ice
cutting time comes.
Put in the relay days fixing out
buildings. A coat Of paint will inn
prove things wonderfully.
Sorghum should be cut when the
seed begins to harden and the lower
leaves start to turn yellow.
One of the greatest conveniences in
filling a silo is a low platform wagon
with which to haul the corn.
In the construction of root cellar
cement should be used SO as not to
come in contact with the potatoes.
Frosted corn, cut at once, makes
satisfactory ensHaga or may be-
stacked green in the "oDen-air" siln.
