EVOLVE PERFECT FRUIT TREE
Industry Of Horticulture Growing In
Importance Every Year-Stapie
Article of Food.
(By r. B. BENDING)

Horticulture Is branch of industry
which is yearly growing in importance.
The value of fruit products as staple
article of food is constantly becoming
more universally recognized. with the
result that capital and labor expended
In this direction are steadily prov
Ing more profitable. That meat and
grain must vie with the best fruits
In the markets Of the world more and
more strenuously every day Is fore
gone conclusion.
Like man himself, fruit trees llave
a capacity for an almost llmitiess de-
velopment and improvement They
can be civilized and demonstrated
Just as child to tender nurture and
kind treatment.
An astonishing advance has alrei dy
been made in the task of evolving the
perfect fruit tree, and anyone who
contemplates undertaking fruit grow
ing would do we'll to recognize this
fact from the start. A great many
fruit growers, and especially begin
pers, fall into the error Of assuming
that care and cultivation are the Sc
cret charms which can induce almost
any tree to bear heavily. Never was
there greater mistake made, as
such are sure to learn as the lesson
of years of pains and labor unpro!lt-
ably expended. The quality of the
stock itself is the factor which deter
tho hall u.h 40
shall be.
Professional stockmen do not ac-
complish their ends by continued at
tention to any one tree, but by select
Ing the best from among thousands or
Its offspring, and developing that.
Budding and grating and propagating
the best over and over again. Skill
fully, on scientific principles, are the
stepping stones by which they ac.
complish their advance. But the anna
teur should not attempt it. lie should
leave the process TO them, and look to
them for the proper stock to begin
with.
After start With the right and
most approved nursery stock, atlen'
ton and cultivation will speedily bring
the results so much desired. The
winning Of success becomes an easy
task then though to others it May
seem inexplicable. This Is the one,
Indispensable sine-Qua-non OF accom-
plishmcnt In fruit growing for which
there Is no substitute, and in place OF
which no makeshift will do.

USE OF SILOS BY DAIRYMEN
Greatest Argument In Favor OF Ensll.
age Is In Cheapness Of Pro
duction of Feed Per Ton.

Silage must be fed in conjunction
with other feeds. dry feed and grain
II therefore the farmer is dairyman,
or owns quantity or live stock, or Is
raising beef cattle for market, he
should have both silase and hay on
his farm. The use OF the silO with
owners OF dairy cattle has lately in.
creased enormously. 1t Is an impor-
tant adjunct to the general feeding. 1t
has been clearly demonstrated that
silage promotes milk flow, but the
greatest argument in favor of its use
lies In the cheapness OF production
per ton, and the ability to store and
secure palatable, nutritious food under
weather that might seriously injure
hay or dry fodder.

British ROYAL Family.

One hundred years ago England held
a national jubilee in celebration of the
centenary Of the accession OF the
House of Hanover to the English
throne. The first Of the Hanoverian
line was George l. who succeeded to
the throne Of Great Britain and Ire
land ON the death of Queen Anne, All
gust /, 1714. Georges succession to
the throne came through his mother,
the electress Sophia of Hanover, who
was a granddaughter Of James |. The
most conspicuous figure In the reign
Of George | was Sir Robert Walpole,
who was the first prime minister Of
England. The fact that George could
speak no English, while his ministers
could speak no German, taken with
the other fact that the king preferred
to spend much of his time in Hanover,
gave to the office Of prime minister,
that Walpole was the first to hold, the
character that 1t has since retained.

this ring by swivel connection and
universal joint so that 1t swings freely
all the time. As the fruit Is shipped
off by the shears it drops into the
basket The convenience of this de-
vice lies in the fact that 1t can be
operated with one hand, and for that
reason will reach places that would
be inaccessible If both hands were re-
qulred. Furthermore, there is no ne
cessity Of carrying around an extra
basket and taking the time to trans
fer the fruit to this as it is cut or
picked OF course, this does not apply

LIQUOR LIKED BY ESKIMOS
Fierce Beverage That Is Distilled in
the Land Of Perpetual Ice
and Snow.

1t may surprise those who associate
lincolnshire" whisky only with the
southern states mountains, says
writer in the Wide World, to learn
that since the suppression of the con-
traband liquor traffic between whites
and natives In the North the Eskimo
has himself turned "moonshiner." No
touch of romance clings to the bust
ness up there. There are no hidden
stills sending up telltale columns of
smoke from lonely coves or purple
gens; no solitary lookout on some
crag against the sky with rifle and
gourd neck horn to sound an alarm
when the revenue raiders come gallop-
Ing over the rim of the hills. Those
who prefer their moOnshining in this
style would do better to stick to the
Cumberlands and Big Smokes. The
Eskimo does his moonshning in his
igloo, or just outside in his own front
yard, as it were, under the eyes of his
neighbors. His distilling plant is
small and primitive affair. He can
hide it in sleeping bag, or carry 1t
off in his arms to the hills if revenue
cutter shows n the oiiing.
The still itself is usually an old oil
cam the fake stand, d powder key;
the worm, twisted gun barrel; the
receptacle to catch the liquor that
drips from the worm, tomato can.
He knows nothing of the southern
mountaineers "ma 81" made from the
meal of sprouted corn. His mash Is
a fermented MIXTURE of flour and mo-
lasses. He boils 1t by placing under
the still pan of slubber oil in which
burns a wick of twisted moss. The
vapor from the boiling mash passes
from the still into the worm, where IL
is condensed by cold sea water, with
which the powder key is kept filled
by hand, and trickles out into the to-
mato can an alcoholic LIQUOR which
tastes like none CT the liquors of civil
cation, but equals the ferCest Of them
in Intoxicating potency. One deep swig
of this moonshine of the North will
make the usually timid Eskimo brave
enough to face his mother-in-law or a
polar bear with equally reckless disre-
gard of consequences.

They called him Judge" Dale be- cause in the far west you never "mis- ter" man when you can call him "colonel" or judge" AS James Dale looked more like a judge than a colo nel, they called him as I have said. He was a mine owner, and when things went wrong he could make hot times for his engineers and foremen, but be didn't do 1t ln a vulgar way. He was always a gentleman, even when be cussed the hardest. AS matter ot fact, the judges motto was good form" and be carried 1t out In his clothes, bis cigars, his dinners.
 l have it on good authority that Judge Dale was not vulgarly startled when he received word from Denver that his handsome wife, to whom he had been married five years and who was visiting friends, had taken an old lovers arm and severed conjugal rela- tions by eloping. He went through the daily routine just the same for two or three days. and he had the same placid look and the same even voice as be called his head clerk into the private office and said:
 "Thomas, am going away for few days, and you will take charge"
 "Yes, sir" replied Thomas and the next morning the judge was on his way to Denver He picked up bis cleW there without having elbowed anything or soiled the polish of bis shoes. He met friends and talked politics and real estate and mines, and, lighting fresh cigar, he took a train for the east. Ar irving in New York city, he paid de tective to locate the couple.
 A steamer was sailing for the hedi- terranean at the end of the fourth day, and when she departed the judge was one of her passengers There were more than q hundred others, and as the weather was also stormy for the first two or three days out no one commented on the fact that the pas senger who was registered as Major !
 Davis stuck close to his cabin and had his meals brought to him by steward. Judge Dale had changed his name, but he had no Idea of changing his iden- tity. There were laughter and conVer- satlon and a chatter of dishes as all the passengers finally gathered for din ner for the first time since leaving Sandy Hook. To the right of the cap tain sat one of the handsomest ladies and one of the finest looking gentle men ou the list; but, taken altogether, it was a grand array of wealth and cul' ture.
