of Agriculture at Milwaukee, Wis.
Many of the young men, when en-
tering the course, know only two va
rieties Of apples-Ben Davis and
Winesap. Not long ago, a professor
asked the members of a fruit judging
class, how many varieties of apples
they knew. One young man help up
his hand and replied, ben Davis and
Windfalls," which illustrates well the
need of training in judging fruits. At
the completion of one term of work,
many of the men are able to recog
nize 50 or so varieties and are com.
petent judges of good fruit. The
judging of fruit prepares men for the
advanced courses in pomology and
also creates an interest in the subject
of horticulture
AS an incentive to promote interest
in fruit judging, the National Horti-
cultural Congress has offered a loving
cup to the college fruit judging team
that wins first place for two success

sive years, in competition with teams
from other colleges. For several
years, teams from Iowa. Nebraska and
Kansas have competed for this prize
but none OF them has been able to win
first place for two successive years.
The cup might be said to be still at
large. Iowa was the last to win first
place. For this event, which will be
held, this year, at Lincoln, Neb., the
men are coached and trained as thor
oughly and carefully as the stock
judging team which goes to the Royal
and International Stock shows. Five
men are allowed to be on the team
and they are chosen according to their
ability as judges. Naturally, every
student puts forth his strongest efforts
to make the team and considerable in
terest Is the result.
The complete Identification OF the
apple requires more thorough knowl-
edge of it. Many varieties are so near
ly identically in appearance that the
inner parts Of the fruit must be ex.
amined before final judgment can be
passed. This examination takes into
consideration the color, texture and
flavor of the flesh; the size, shape and
location of the core; the form, smooth.

PREACHING young man to Judge
and properly identify so or go
varieties Of apples. in three
months, sounds rather extraordinary
on first thought. But this Is exactly
what the instructors in horticulture,
in most Of the agricultural colleges Of
the country, do with their classes in
fruit judging. To be able to Judge
and identify an apple correctly, from
among so to 100 varieties Of similar
appearance, calls for considerable
knowledge Of this fruit and practice,
on the part of the judgers.
For example, one hundred and TWEEN.

teresting subject. The work consists
Of Identification and the scoring of
plates and boxes Of fruits. Particular
emphasis is placed on commercial va
rieties of apples adapted to Kansas
conditions, but many varieties are
shipped in from other states. The
horticultural department of the col.
lege has received apples, this year,
from the agricultural colleges of
Washington, Rhode Island and Massa.

STOPPED IN TIME.

Little Willie, who for some months
had invariably ended his evening
prayer with please send me a baby
brother" announced to his mother
that he was tired of praying for what
he did not get, and that he did not
believe that God had any more little
boys to send.
Not long afterward he was carried
into his mothers room very early in
the morning to see twin boys, who
had arrived during the night. Willie
looked at the two babies critically
and then remarked: ITS a good

tice that this commodity, which paid
nearly 100000 in duties last year, is
admitted free.
Clothing Is Affected.
Throughout the schedules affecting
wearing apparel the cuts are marked.
The scarcity of wool in the United
I States, resulting from the high duties
have encouraged the use Of shoddy
and other adulterants. Pure wooden
goods are rare. The condition should
be corrected with wool On the free
list. The duty on ready made wooden
clothing is reduced from 70 to 80 per
cent; on flannel for underwear % anC
80 per cent; on blankets from 70 to
% per cent.
Similar reductions are made in cot
ton goods. The duty on cotton thread
IS reduced from 81 to 10 per cent.
Under the existing law cotton cloths
Are subjected to an intricate scale Of
iuties, which averaged, for the Z IL
million dollars worth imported last
ear, about 4S per cent. This scale
5 simplified and reduced so that the
average rate Of duties ranging from
! l-2 per cent to 80 per cent, is eSti-
mated at about 26 per cent. The
luty on ready made cotton clothing is
reduced from 80 to 30 per cent; on
stockings from 70 to 40 and so; ON
underwear from 90 to %; on handker-
chiefs from 60 to 30; on linen hand
kerchiefS from 80 to 50; on silk rib
bons the duty is reduced from so to
40 per cent, and the duty on trimmed
hats is subject to the same reduction.
Boots and shoes which have been
paying a duty of Is per cent, go on
the free list. Of more Importance is
the free admission of leather, of
which . million dollars worth was i'm
ported last year, paying a duty of
$46O,OOO.
Wheat, which has been subject to
a duty of twenty-five cents a bushel,
is admitted free. So is flour, which
has been paying duty of % per cent.
The free admission of cattle is ex-
pected to be of more Importance
along the Mexican border than else
where. Meats and fish, which have
been subjected to duties Of from Is
to % per cent, go on the free list.
Other important changes introduced
by the bill are in the metal schedule,
where such important materials as
iron ore and steel rails are admitted
free. The Importance of these reduc-
tons, however, in view of the tremen,
dous development of the American
industry, is uncertain.

In Germany the Government lends money farmers at

In the United States the Government lends money the

The German farmers living under Emperor can get
