Among the many ways in which the
apple is used, the manufacture OF
1ellies and preserves is one Of grow.
ing Importance. The numerous fac
tories for the manufacture of these
goods have not only created demand,
for second and third grade apples.
but also for by-products resulting from
drying and evaporating the fruit.
Apple butter Of the real. rich, old
time farm variety fills an important
place In the household economy and
always finds q ready sale at good
prices. Good sweet cider made from
sound. apples, not from half-decayed,
wormy fruit, is one of the most health
full products Of the orchard. 1t can
be kept sweet and unfermented by
heating 1t to temperature Of 1902 r.
and holding it there for 80 minutes;
then sealing It up tight In bottles or
casks and storing In cool place.
Boiled cider made In the good old
fashioned way by reducing to one-fifth
by boiling, and then canned, makes an
excellent article for culinary purposes.
While the aim and purpose OF the
farmer should be to supply an abun-
dance of fruit for his own family, he
should also be able to sell little
surplus. The crop Of summer and
autumn apples requires an immediate
disposition either by sale In the mar
ket, by evaporation, or manufacture
into cider. The crop OF winter va
rieties can be handled more profitably
as they are not so perishable.
A gentle eastern or northeastern
slope, as rule. Is the most desirable
for an orchard site. but this may vary
In different apple sections.
Soils such as are found In timber
regions afford the best results, but
outside of such districts oiayey loans
having free surface and subsoil drain
age are best.

and when needing fertility the land
should be properly MANFRED before

Trees are more safely set in early
spring. They should be strong, Wig
orous, one or two years old, having a
well-deyeloped root system, and at the
time OF setting their tops should be
cut back to the height at which the
main branches for the future top Is to
be formed. All broken and mutilated
roots should be cut back to sound
wood. For easy planting open out a
deep furrow with two-horse plow
along the line where the rows are to
be made and CROSS check at the dis

There is hardly a country in the

Everyone has heard of the North

Hog cholera is disease which seems
to be stopped to degree by the frosts
OF winter, although frost cannot be
said to stop a case after It has taken
hold OF its victim. However, 1t seems
to prevent the rapid spread Of the dis
ease. The result is that IN spring
time the affection is, as a rule, at the
lowest ebb. but increases rapidly from
that time until fall.

IN TOLLS FIGHT
HOUSE LEADERS DEFEATED IN
EFFORT TO BLOCK coNsIo.
GRAFTON OF MEASURE.
SPECIAL RULE ADOPTED
FINAL PASSAGE OF REPEAL ACT
PREDICTED BY PRESIDENTS
SUPPORTERS SOON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, March 2S.-President
Wilson won the opening skirmish OF
the greateet legislative battle of his
administration when the House. over
protests from the recognized Demo
cratic leaders and almost solid minor
ity opposition, adopted a special rule
for the consideration of the bill repeal
ing the provision of the Panama Canal
act exempting coastwise American
ships from tolls.
Speaker Clark. Democratic Leader
Underwood. Republican Leader Mann
and Progressive Leader Murdoch were
at the heads of those lined up against
the administration-but the House re-
sponded to the Presidents personal
appeal for prompt consideration of the
repeal bill as means of supporting
his administrations foreign policy.
Two votes demonstrated the Presi-
dents influence with his party in Con.
gress. On the first test a motion to
end debate and preclude amendment
on rule carried by vote of 207 to l76:
the rule itself was adopted, 200 to
172.
Nothing to compare with the scene
Friday had occurred in the House
since the famous Cannon rules fight
four years ago.
In vain Representative Underwood
took the floor of the House and urged
his colleagues to vote against the rule.
The rank and file Democrats after
listening to three hours of passionate
argument, swung into the Presidents
column, 1893 of them voting to prevent
the amendment of the special rule.
while but 55 followed the leaders in
joining with the minority in opposi-
ton.
Friday night administration support
ers considered the crucial point
passed and jubilantly predicted the
passage OF tho repeal bill itself by
majority OF more than 100.
Colorado Delegation Divided.
The Colorado delegation in Congress
is divided on the issue of free Panama
tolls. Senator Thomas will vote
against the repeal OF the free tolls
provision fer coastwise shipping.
Senator Shafroth will vote for the
repeal.
The Colorado Democrats In the
House divided half and half on the
rule TO limit debate which Speaker
Clark called gag" rule. Seldom.
ridge and Keating voted for the adop-
tion of the rule; .Kindel and Taylor
voted against II.
On the main proposition. however.
that of whether or not free tolls shall
be repealed. all four of the Colorado
members of the House will vote In IA.
vor OF the repeal. thus standing by the
President.

Juarez. Mexico, March 30.-An Off
cial message from the front Sunday
night stated that fighting was still 60
ing on for the possession of Torreon.
The telegram said that the rebels now
hold all positions except the main bar
racks and the smaller barracks.
In the last twenty-iour hours 1t is
reported that General Villa took Cerro
de la Cruz and the 1orreon foundry.
1t was reported by private in a mes
sage received at Chihuahua that Gen.
eral Villa had been wounded, and
forced to retire from the frcnt.
Another telegram received here ad-
mits a rebel loss in the last six days
of 900 killed and wounded, and places
the federal loss at 1000. AS there are
already at Chihuahua 500 wounded,
the report of rebel losses is thought
TO have been minimized. Among the
rebel wounded is General Tomas Ur-
bina.
II Is said that private soldiers taken
prisoners are being taken into the
rebel ranks. but their officers are exc
cuted unless they take the oath of al
legiance to the constitutionalist cause
All irregular troops In the federal
garrison are executed upon capture.
General Venustiano Carranza ar
rived last evening. Absence OF ad
vices from General Villa were taken
to indicate to certainty that II he has
not been repulsed. at least he has moi
yet taken Torreon.
In Juarez II was confidently ex
pressed that news OF the capture oi
the city would form the chief feature
OF the welcome TO General Carranza
and the fact that no message OF sue
cess OF any kind was awaiting hin
was accepted as indicating that the
fate of the city was still in the bal
ance.
